Just at that moment, a vast sword light slashed out, and the heavens and earth changed colors.
The disciple from the Eight Directions Sect had no time to rejoice, and his expression immediately turned pale.
Retreat!
Retreat! Retreat!
A great terror rose in his heart, as if facing this sword, even as a Celestial Human of the eighth level, he might fall.
Because of this, he could only abandon the Heavenly Serpent Fruit, and his figure exploded backward in retreat.
âHaha, thanks to everyone, this Heavenly Serpent Fruit is Wen Shouzengâs for the taking.â Wen Shouzeng held a sword in one hand and the Heavenly Serpent Fruit, emitting a faint fragrance and the size of a fist, in the other hand.
Meanwhile, the battle over another Heavenly Serpent Fruit also came to an end, dominantly seized by a dark ice snake, with many ice-sculpted corpses around.
This showed that the struggle for this Heavenly Serpent Fruit was quite fierce as well.
Yuan Yao and Chang Xiaorui gathered towards Lu Yun.
âHow is it, did you manage to grab any Heavenly Serpent Fruits?â Lu Yun inquired.
Yuan Yao nodded slightly, clearly indicating some gains, but how many Heavenly Serpent Fruits she had obtained was unknown.
Chang Xiaorui took out a Heavenly Serpent Fruit and handed it to Lu Yun.
Although she had obtained a Heavenly Serpent Fruit, she lacked the power to bring it out.
Whatâs more, in order to grab this fruit, she had used up all her trump cards, and even her own strength was greatly damaged, and she now had to rely on Lu Yun.
âDamn it, if it werenât for this guy, I could have gotten at least two Heavenly Serpent Fruits.â Zhong Ziyi looked at Lu Yun with a profound gaze, filled with intense hatred and envy.
âAccording to what the other Junior Brothers said, this person has at least more than ten Celestial Fruits in his hands, perhapsâ¦â
His brain quickly worked, and soon a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
âThe fight for the Heavenly Serpent Fruit is over, now itâs our turn to take the stage.â The ordinary-looking tall youth took the lead and rushed out towards Lu Yun.
This was a powerful Heavenly Human of the ninth level, whose realm and strength far surpassed someone like Zhong Ziyi. With his first move, it was earth-shattering.
At the same time, several others also attacked Wen Shouzeng, Yuan Yao, and others who had obtained Heavenly Serpent Fruits.
âThe praying mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Do they treat us as the mantis?â
A flash of cold light in Lu Yunâs eyes, his body surged with abundant World Power, while rules after rules merged into the Blood Slaughter Blade.
Heaven and Earth Draw Saber Slash!
A terrifyingly vast blade aura, in an instant, tore the heavens and the earth asunder with a horizontal slash.
âThis kid, quite somethingâ¦â Bai Zhenxiongâs expression tightened as he looked at the earth torn apart beside him.
A genius disciple from the Sanyuan Palace of Tai Zhen Domain, Heavenly Human of the ninth level, capable of battling the True Spirit Realm, was actually forced back by a third-level Heavenly Human, which was truly inconceivable.
But that was it.
No matter how strong a third-level Heavenly Human, he wasnât taken seriously by Bai Zhenxiong.
Swoosh!
A sharp claw killed instantly to the front of Lu Yun.
âSo fast!â
Seeing his saber easily dodged and the opponent bursting with such speed, Lu Yun knew he had encountered a master. His heart sank, and he could no longer afford to hide his power, using the Hundred Calamities Immortal Divine Ability to resist.
Bai Zhenxiongâs movements were elusive, his speed incredibly fast, like a ghost, flickering and leaping continuously, his blood claws lashing out from every direction, turning into streaks of bloody light.
The blood claws were fast, precise, ruthless, and unpredictable.
Lu Yun pushed the Hundred Calamities Immortal Divine Ability to its limit and, with the full explosion of the Power of the Cave Sky World, struggled to resist the flurry of bloody streaks.
But it was just barely resisting, and he was being steadily driven back.
âNot only is the speed fast, but the power is also terrifying; Iâm simply no match for him.â Lu Yunâs face was as dark as water.
Lu Yun had some understanding of his own power; he would not be weaker than a ninth-level Heavenly Human. With the Hundred Calamities Immortal Divine Ability, even a tenth-level Heavenly Human would be able to fight.
But now, under the opponentâs extreme speed and power, he simply couldnât mount an effective counter-attack, which proved that the opponent must possess the power of at least two bans; otherwise, he couldnât have been suppressed so severely.
âJust a third-level Heavenly Human, being able to hold on for so long against me, really interesting.â Bai Zhenxiong smiled indifferently, his speed became even faster, and the power of his blood claws also strengthened.
âI canât keep going like this, otherwise, I wonât be able to leave the Shanhan Dao Mansion unscathed; I must find a way to leave.â Lu Yunâs gaze turned icy cold.
He had too many Heavenly Serpent Fruits on him, and if it werenât for his formidable strength, he would have already been besieged by others.
If he dragged this on, he would suffer heavy injuries for sure, and even if he could escape, it would be difficult to leave the Mountain Han Dao Residence.
âDemon Slaying God-Killing Saber!â A piercing light flared up in Lu Yunâs gradually chilling eyes.
The next instant, the long-accumulated strike was finally unleashed.
There was no vast blade aura, nor any earth-shattering Saber Intent.
In fact, not even the earth-shattering sound of saber ringing occurred, just the simplest of saber strikes was delivered.
However, this strike made Bai Zhenxiongâs color change.
âPerfection-grade Eighth Grade Saber Divine Ability!â
From this strike, he felt a tremendous threat and immediately retreated rapidly. If struck, he feared he would sustain heavy injuries.
Therefore, he could only retreat.
He didnât believe that the other party could escape from his grasp, so there was no need for a hard-fought battle.
With the saber strike effective and the enemy forced back, Lu Yun didnât quiver before his opponent. Like a startled swan, he dashed towards Yuan Yao.
A saber strike was made, pushing back the enemy that had been fiercely battling him.
âJunior Sister Yuan Yao, give the Heavenly Serpent Fruit to me, I have a way to break free.â
Yuan Yao didnât speak but gave Lu Yun a deep look. Seeing his confident demeanor, she took out the Heavenly Serpent Fruit she had previously seized and handed it to Lu Yun.
âJunior Brother Lu, be careful. Above all else, value your life. If you truly cannot escape in the end, itâs alright to abandon the Heavenly Serpent Fruit,â she advised.
After giving her warning, Yuan Yao left with Chang Xiaorui.
The sudden appearance of so many powerful individuals was entirely beyond her expectations. If she didnât give up the Heavenly Serpent Fruit, even she wouldnât be able to safely escape.
Without the Heavenly Serpent Fruit, others ceased their attacks on them, allowing the two women to leave.
And Lu Yun became the target of public anger, with numerous clairvoyant senses falling upon him.@@novelbin@@
Yet, they were still somewhat wary of Lu Yunâs strength and made no move.
âSince youâve gathered yet another Heavenly Serpent Fruit for me, to show my thanks, Iâll let you die without much pain,â Bai Zhenxiong stepped forward, crossing dozens of yards in one step, his claw, wrapped in a bloody aura, tore through the sky, charging towards Lu Yunâs face.
âHmph, far from me to want my life, youâre still lacking!â Lu Yun thundered out with a punch, colliding fiercely with Bai Zhenxiongâs bloody claw.
The two destructive forces burst forth.
Then, the powerful rebounding force undulated outwards. Bai Zhenxiongâs figure slightly stepped back, while Lu Yun, using that rebounding force like a startled swan, left Bai Zhenxiongâs attack range.
From beginning to end, his goal was to break free.
The previous forceful blow with Bai Zhenxiong was just a diversion.
After using the rebounding force to create some distance, Lu Yun deployed the Instant Horizon Divine Ability.
In the Xuan Yellow Big World, the spatial binding force was far greater than in the Desolate Origin World, but after using Instant Horizon, he could still teleport tens of miles away.
âWhere is he?!â Seeing his target suddenly vanish from sight, Bai Zhenxiongâs face showed surprise, then his powerful consciousness burst forth, quickly searching the surrounding area.
But without finding even a trace, his consciousness continued to surge, rapidly covering a range of several hundred yards, yet still no discovery was made.
His consciousness extended even further, quickly enveloping an area of ten miles around, reaching the limit of its expansion.
Still no discovery.
By this time, how could he not know that the other party had escaped from his grasp.
Thinking this, his eyes turned fully red with rage, and he could not hold back any longer, yelling into the void, âAh⦠Next time I meet you, I will make sure you have no place for burial!â
âThis lad not only has astonishing combat strength but also possesses a spatial-type divine ability. What on earth is his background?â
Far away, the woman in palace attire gazed at the spot where Lu Yun had disappeared, her face reflecting a pondering expression.
Then she glanced at Yuan Yao and Chang Xiaorui.
âCould it be that he is from the Green Flame Palace? If thatâs truly the case, then we can only let them go for now. Itâs not advisable to provoke the Green Flame Palace at this moment,â she reasoned.
