Chapter 540: Fool! Third Realm Powerhouse’s Madness! Invisibility! One Against Two, No Pressure!

Whoosh!

His eyes seemed to spew flames as Yin Xuansheng used Teleportation Arts to escape from beneath the young Daoist’s feet.

What the hell is with this young Daoist? Why did he appear and immediately trample me underfoot!?

Such a massive humiliation drove the third realm Yang Spirit expert into instant madness; after all, he was a cultivator who had always maintained an aura of supreme mastery.

Li Yanchu’s gaze was cold as he looked at Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong and Yin Xuansheng, his expression icy. He had originally come to the Donglin Prefecture battlefield just to observe.

Shen Hongye had mentioned that four Yang Spirit experts would be aiding Donglin. But the battlefield shifted in an instant, and ultimately he decided to ride the clouds and arrive himself.

This time he brought only Shen Hongye along; after all, he was participating as a member of the Court of Judicial Review. Victories should be recorded, shouldn’t they?

In truth, the main reason was that his Cloud-Riding Immortal Art was fastest when carrying just one person. As for Ding Rou, Xiao Ran, and Cuihua, they fought too fiercely over who would accompany him. It was better to take someone inconsequential, such as Shen Hongye!

However, when he arrived, his mood suddenly grew heavy. It was impossible to feel the weight of the brutality of the battlefield without seeing it firsthand.

He had already slain three of the largest demons with his Jiaoslayer, then traced the aura to Wuse. He arrived just in time, right before Wuse was about to fully unleash his power!

One could say that coming early was less important than coming at the right moment.

Without much idle talk, the two sides immediately clashed. Yin Xuansheng, this third realm underworld ghost deity, was completely enraged.

Whoosh!

Immediately, his Azurebind Sword shot forward. A streak of blue light extended from the tip, directly aimed at Li Yanchu.

But the next moment, Li Yanchu had vanished. Yin Xuansheng unleashed his divine sense, covering his surroundings. Yet he still could not detect where the young Daoist had appeared from!

Yin Xuansheng fell speechless, while Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong also furrowed his brows.

When cultivators duel, it was common to use divine powers to shrink distances, shift forms, or dodge attacks before reappearing, especially at their level.

But where had this young man gone?

Clang!

A dragon’s roar sounded, and Yin Xuansheng’s head flew off, his eyes wide with disbelief. Though he was the body of a yin soul, and he could not die whether or not his head was severed, how could he feel no trace of this young Daoist’s presence at all?

Suddenly, a white divine light enveloped his head. Yin Xuansheng felt his soul burning as if placed in a great furnace, agonized beyond measure.

Immediately, his headless body made a hand seal, attempting to summon his head back.

The Flying Head Technique!

Many cultivators knew this skill. It allowed one to separate and recall the head, or arms, legs, and other limbs. It was considered flashy but usually impractical.

Here, however, it proved useful. Yin Xuansheng had intended to use his Azurebind Sword against the now-invisible young Daoist. But he discovered that his head and body could not reunite, seemingly separated by a mysterious force!

“Is this because of that blade light?” Yin Xuansheng’s heart sank.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was equally cautious, as this invisibility technique was astonishingly advanced.

Immediately, Yin Xuansheng reacted with lightning speed. A black aura suddenly enveloped both his head and body, forming a protective barrier around him.

He had already suffered heavy injuries; the divine light of the Eight Trigrams Mirror had just shattered the foundation of his primordial spirit. Yet he still could not detect the young Daoist’s location and could only maintain his defensive spells.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong, likewise, cast several powerful defensive spells upon himself. Immediately, all of his protective magical artifacts were activated.

At the third realm Yang Spirit level, such defensive arts were formidable; even with Li Yanchu’s Jiaoslayer, breaking through was far from easy. Repeated attacks would only make it easier for the opponent to discern patterns.

Li Yanchu then removed his Golden Radiance Crown, revealing his form.

“You only know how to strike from the shadows?!” Yin Xuansheng roared in fury.

In response, Li Yanchu’s lips curved into a cold smile. “You fool.”

The third realm powerhouse Yin Xuansheng, who had been regaining his composure, suddenly exploded in anger, and his Azurebind Sword shot forward!

A brilliant divine fire appeared, and...

Blazing Inferno!

Heaven-Illuminating Seal!

Immediately, the divine fire collided with the sword’s azure light with a thunderous roar. Li Yanchu was blasted backward, tumbling through the air.

Seeing this, Yin Xuansheng’s eyes glinted.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong intended to cast a spell to severely injure the young Daoist. But in the next moment, the young Daoist flew straight at him, and a white rainbow streaked across the sky.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was stunned speechless. He had activated an illusion, altering the scene before him; the terrain suddenly became a steep mountain range.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out. Wuse, though blind, sent out his divine sense at the sound, desperate to discern what had occurred.

Then, Li Yanchu struck Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong squarely in the chest. A surge of blood and qi exploded from his chest, propelling him violently backward.

Before he could recover, Li Yanchu seized his arm and delivered another devastating punch with incredible force!

Behind Li Yanchu, two massive spectral figures emerged: one a manifestation of a Martial Dao will with rich blood and qi, the other a weighty and monumental Divine Dao force. The sheer force of these fists shattered the defensive spells before Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong.

Yet, in the end, his spells still managed to intercept the attack.

He had layered so many defensive spells on himself that while the damage was not massive, the scene appeared utterly humiliating to an observer, or even to Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong himself: a black-robed elder being relentlessly battered by a young Daoist far beneath his level.

A streak of light shot forth, and...

Suddenly, the Eye-Piercing Pearl was unleashed. Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong intended to use the same technique to blind the young Daoist.

Yet a multi-colored light erupted from Li Yanchu, and the projectile quickly fell to the ground and vanished.

In the next instant, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was dumbfounded. His artifact, the Eye-Piercing Pearl, was now in Li Yanchu’s hand; truly, it was a surreal, disorienting sensation.

Seizing the opportunity, Yin Xuansheng thrust his sword at Li Yanchu, but it seemed Li Yanchu had not anticipated it. The Azurebind Sword of a third realm Yang Spirit unleashed a devastating strike against his back, the impact blindingly bright.

Yet the next moment, a small mountain peak beside Li Yanchu suddenly exploded, forming a massive hole, nearly obliterated.

Li Yanchu used his Transference Technique to redirect the damage, closing the distance between them. A silver light shot from Li Yanchu, striking Yin Xuansheng squarely on the forehead.

He had unleashed the Gengjia Skyneedle. The Skyneedle possessed immense anti-defense properties, though its raw killing power was limited. At this moment, it only caused Yin Xuansheng’s primordial spirit a sharp, intense pain.

And yet it was just for a fleeting instant. But in that instant, Li Yanchu struck decisively, severing Yin Xuansheng’s arm.

Then, the Azurebind Sword fell to the ground; it had been taken by Li Yanchu...
