Chapter 506: A Martial Dao Immortal Must Be Slain! You Dare Claim Worthiness? The Third Realm Engages in Battle!

The scholar with the majestic aura frowned slightly.

“A martial physique? So there are still people who walk the path of the Martial Dao Immortal.”

He let out a cold snort, and a sharp killing intent suddenly burst forth from his eyes, then the surrounding air temperature plummeted at once. With a surge of qi from his hand, the shattered bamboo scroll suddenly reappeared, whole once more. He then waved it again and smashed it down.

Buzz!

An invisible force spread outward in an instant, rippling like waves. It was as if Mount Tai were crashing down from above!

“Come!” Li Yanchu’s voice boomed like thunder.

Battle intent boiled in his eyes, and the qi and blood within his body surged skyward like billowing wolf-smoke, roasting heaven and earth like a vast ocean.

The next moment, he swung his blade, and a streak of dazzling light tore across heaven and earth. Mountains crumbled, and peaks shook!

Then, a crisp

crack

seemed to ring out by the ear. The scholar’s power, thick and weighty like towering mountains, was smashed apart. The bamboo scroll in his hand shattered once more, and a wound appeared on his chest as well.

This time, anger surfaced in the scholar’s eyes, and he stabbed the carving knife in his hand fiercely toward Li Yanchu as an aura of extreme danger enveloped him.

Behind Li Yanchu, two towering phantasmal figures slowly emerged. One was the manifestation of Martial Dao; the other, a heavy and solemn power of the Divine Dao. He then poured the strength within his body into the Jiaoslayer before a dazzling radiance collided head-on with the carving knife.

Boom!

A tremendous shockwave spread outward, like the mushroom cloud from an explosion. With a thunderous crash, rubble flew, and sand and stones whipped through the air. The surroundings were left in utter devastation!

This scholar possessed unfathomably profound strength, quite unlike the rudimentary third realm experts Li Yanchu had previously fought, or those who had yet to recover their peak power.

Seeing Li Yanchu block his carving knife, he did not panic in the slightest. The carving blade sliced through the air, leaving streaks of black cracks behind. In the next moment, it was right in front of Li Yanchu, and razor-sharp qi ceaselessly sliced into Li Yanchu’s body.

Buzz!

Li Yanchu swept his blade horizontally. From the Jiaoslayer, a mysterious rhythm rippled outward, and only then did those black cracks and fissures vanish.

The scholar’s expression remained calm as he said coldly, “Though the Martial Dao is difficult to bring to fruition, I cannot allow a junior like you to grow.”

The carving knife thrust forward once more, stabbing straight at Li Yanchu’s brow. An incomparably sharp force forcibly pierced through Li Yanchu’s domineering physique!

Blood spilled from the corner of Li Yanchu’s mouth as the qi within his body tore apart. This was the first time in a long while that he had been injured.

The scholar’s power was so great it was almost beyond imagination; this was absolutely not the strength of an ordinary early third realm Yang Spirit expert.

At the same time, the scholar thrust his carving knife again. The razor-sharp force instantly enveloped the innkeeper, locking her qi and leaving her unable to evade.

Clang!

The talismanic armor suddenly appeared, forcibly blocking the strike. Seeing this, the scholar paused slightly, a playful glint in his eyes.

“This talismanic armor should be your magical artifact, right? You don’t use it yourself, leaving it with her... Truly a sentimental fool.”

If it weren’t for this talismanic armor transforming into the golden-armored divine figure to intercept the strike, the scholar could have confidently severely wounded or even killed this woman with a single blow!

Unexpectedly, this young Daoist had used only his martial physique to resist the carving knife, without calling on the talismanic armor.

Just then, Li Yanchu glanced at the scholar. Earlier, he had tried to use the Transference Technique to redirect the sharp attack but had failed.

This scholar is truly despicable.

At this thought, anger welled up in his eyes.

“Since you care so much for this woman, then I will kill her right in front of you!” the scholar sneered coldly.

“How dare you!?” Li Yanchu’s voice boomed like thunder.

“Five-Lightning Pure Yang, the True Law of Heaven and Earth, strike!”

Boom!!

Heavenly lightning struck, and white radiance filled the surroundings, as if a pool of lightning had manifested.

A white light flickered across the scholar’s body, staggering him slightly from the force of the Five-Lightning Talisman, but it did not pierce his defenses.

Boom! Boom!

There were two more heavenly lightning strikes. These supreme yang lightning techniques pounded heavily onto the scholar, dimming the white radiance across his body considerably, yet his aura remained immensely powerful.

He looked mockingly amused, and was just about to speak. Dealing with such a young prodigy, he relished the process of destroying a heavenly talent.

Suddenly, he sensed an ancient aura that sent shivers down the spine. He looked up, and saw that a three-headed, six-armed ancient deity appeared!

Terrifying flames surrounded it, it stood atop a fire dragon, holding in its hands five powerful fire-element artifacts: the Heaven-Illuminating Seal, the Five-Dragon Wheel, the Ten Thousand Crows Urn, the Cloudpiercer, and the Flying Smoke Sword.

The overwhelming aura it radiated sent a chill through the heart.

“Fire Virtue True Lord’s Dharma form!?” Surprise flashed in the scholar’s eyes.

This ancient deity from myth unleashed a torrent of divine fire the moment it moved, like a raging flood, directly enveloping the scholar.

Blazing Inferno!

The white light on the scholar’s body wavered precariously, on the verge of shattering.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Divine arrows rained down on the scholar, along with the flying sword, fiery crows, and fire dragon. Terrifying divine flames consumed everything in their path!

Then, the scholar swung the carving knife in his hand.

Clang!

A tremendous force parted the fire torrent, but in the next instant, the Blazing Inferno once again engulfed him.

This was no mere primordial spirit dharma manifestation; it was the authentic Dharma form of the Fire Virtue Star Lord. Its power was naturally on an entirely different level, especially with five legendary fire-element artifacts augmenting it!

The girl in green’s eyes widened in astonishment.

“What kind of divine being is this young Daoist? How could he summon the Dharma form of the Fire Virtue Star Lord?!”

Boom! Boom!

One terrifying divine technique after another struck in front of the scholar, and with a crisp

crack

, the white light shattered completely.

The scholar was left looking disheveled, no longer able to maintain the composure of a high-level cultivator.

“Impossible... how could I lose to a junior barely out of infancy?”

The domineering power of the Fire Virtue Star Lord’s Dharma form enveloped the scholar in blazing divine fire.

Clang!

The carving knife in the scholar’s hand exploded with dazzling radiance, shielding him as he surged forward.

Suddenly, a brilliant streak of light shot toward him, and the scholar instinctively met it with his carving knife.

Clang!

When blade met blade, a sound like a great bell echoed across heaven and earth. He looked down and saw a crack forming along the carving knife in his hand.

At that moment, he realized the streak of light had come from the young Daoist’s ancient, rustic long sword.

A humming sound emanated from the long sword, radiating a sense of joy.

“A sentient magical artifact...”

A thought suddenly flashed through the scholar’s mind. Instantly, a white light flared up behind him, and his protective righteous qi shielded him from all attacks.

Boom!

The light was quickly shattered, and scorching divine radiance slammed heavily into his body. He turned his head and saw a Eight Trigrams Mirror flying through the air, shooting a beam of divine light at him. Suddenly, dizziness swept through his mind.

“Another one?”

Surprise flickered in the scholar’s eyes, but the tyrannical divine powers continued their relentless assault, leaving him no time to think, and he could only clash with his carving knife in response.

He could not understand how a mortal body could summon the Dharma form of the Fire Virtue Star Lord. This was utterly abnormal!

“Come on, weren’t you just full of yourself a moment ago?” Li Yanchu’s voice rang with mockery.
