Chapter 210: Still, Bullying the Weak is More Interesting

At this moment, meeting Lu Yang’s smiling eyes directly, the sense of crisis in the Treasure-Laden Youth’s heart climbed drastically, as if he saw his own ending.

However, the first emotion that arose in him was not terror.

It was mockery.

‘Relying on you, wanting to kill me?’

How could a Perfected One at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment be killed so easily? Moreover, although the Treasure-Laden Youth came from a small sect, he was still a Perfected One with an inheritance after all.

Ordinary rogue cultivators lacked orthodoxy. Once they obtained a bit of inheritance, they would cultivate bitterly without caring about defects. This resulted in their Life-Bound Divine Abilities and Innate Divine Abilities being specialized in only one area. While strong, they had more flaws, and once someone found those flaws, it was easy for their bodies to die and their Dao to dissipate.

A typical example of this was Wu Cang.

But Foundation Establishment allowed no regrets; once the Dao Path was set, it could not be changed. Therefore, most rogue cultivators could only dominate for a time and could not compare with those from famous and major sects.

After all, who could start over?

In comparison, the Treasure-Laden Youth was different.

He was the direct descendant of [Fenbao Cliff] and had sat all the way to the position of Sect Master. The Divine Abilities he refined naturally couldn’t be as full of holes as those of rogue cultivators.

In the next second, the Treasure-Laden Youth twisted his body on the spot.

“[World-Traversing Step]!”

This Innate Divine Ability belonged to [Zhaoyang] in the Heavenly Stem positioning. It was a Gui Water Divine Ability and also an escape technique, capable of borrowing the Qi of earth and wood to hide its form and flee.

At this moment, the Treasure-Laden Youth displayed it and was about to flee immediately.

However, in the next second, his movements stagnated abruptly. In a trance, he seemed to see a great mountain crashing down from thin air, and the brilliant colors of the Divine Ability on his body rapidly dissipated.

[Embrace and Guard Mountain].

Unconditionally suppressing and sealing one Innate Divine Ability, or one profundity of a Life-Bound Divine Ability. It almost instantly plunged the Treasure-Laden Youth into a more dangerous situation.

At the center of Lu Yang’s brow, a speck of spiritual light had already emerged.

[Star River Sword Pellet]!

This was also a relic given to him by Ye Xingfeng of the Sword Pavilion. Although heavily damaged and with only [Break Barrier] remaining of its three Divine Wonders, it was still peerlessly sharp.

Under the illumination of the sword light, the Treasure-Laden Youth couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. His eyes streamed with tears from the stinging sword light, and his skin felt a needle-like pain. This was merely the effect of looking directly at the Sword Pellet. If Lu Yang were truly allowed to slash out with this sword, he would surely die without a doubt!

In the flash of lightning, the Treasure-Laden Youth could only think of one thing.

In the next second, a scarlet spirit sword appeared in his hand. Radiance also emerged on it, blocking the sword light unleashed by Lu Yang.

[Avici Sword]!

“Hahaha… Devil, man’s calculation is inferior to Heaven’s calculation after all!”

At this moment, the Treasure-Laden Youth’s heart was filled with pleasant surprise. “You never expected that the Spirit Treasure originally used to entrap me would conversely save my life, did you?”

With a spirit sword in hand, what did he have to fear?

Even if Lu Yang slashed at him, he would simply slash back. Even if he fell into a disadvantage and was no match, he wouldn’t be beheaded by the opponent’s sword.

With this thought, the Treasure-Laden Youth immediately poured his spiritual power into the sword desperately.

And the [Avici Sword] transformed into a gold-swallowing beast, frantically devouring the Treasure-Laden Youth’s spiritual power. At the same time, the sword light it displayed became increasingly magnificent and vast.

—All this happened in a flash.

In the next second, Perfected One Five Elements had already opened the [Primordial Chaos Five Elements Umbrella] again to resist Perfected One Yin Shan and the others, while the rest came to aid the Treasure-Laden Youth.

“Kill!”

In an instant, six Perfected Ones joined forces again. The overwhelming magnificent light drowned everything, shattering Divine Sense, and the surroundings plunged into darkness once more.

However, when everything returned to clarity, everyone froze in place.

Lu Yang was gone.

Immediately after, Fairy Yun He of the [Cloud-Climbing Sect] looked at the Treasure-Laden Youth with astonishment in her beautiful eyes: “Treasure-Laden… why didn’t you strike just now?”

Everyone looked over, only to realize that just now, when everyone should have joined forces to attack, the Treasure-Laden Youth—who should have been the primary attacker—was standing blankly on the spot. The [Avici Sword] in his hand shone with great brilliance, yet he hadn’t struck; instead, he was stalemated in place.

“Something’s wrong… I… I can’t control it…!”

The Treasure-Laden Youth was covered in sweat, desperately suppressing the [Avici Sword] in his hand. Then, he watched helplessly as a third profundity emerged on the sword.

[Famous Treasure].

From the very beginning, the ownership of the [Avici Sword] had always been in Lu Yang’s hands. Unless he actively gave it up, any amount of refining was futile.

Only then did the Treasure-Laden Youth suddenly realize.

The [Avici Sword] was just playing with him; everything was the master’s command.

“…Bastard!”

The Treasure-Laden Youth let out an unwilling roar of rage. However, more than half of his body’s spiritual power had been poured into the [Avici Sword], and at this moment, he was powerless to stop it.

In the next second, the blade of the [Avici Sword] reversed.

—It pointed at Old Man Dragon Angler.

“…Huh?”

At this moment, a huge dislocation appeared between Old Man Dragon Angler’s spiritual perception and his thoughts. Logically speaking, being pointed at by a sword blade was dangerous no matter how one thought about it. However, his spiritual perception repeatedly reminded him that it was not a big problem, there was no danger, he was very safe now, and everything was his illusion…

Until a streak of sword light pierced into the top of his head.

Pfft!

The sword light passed silently through his crown, going all the way down, slicing open his brow, nose bridge, lips and teeth, neck, chest and abdomen, lower limbs…

Almost simultaneously, the [Avici Sword] unsheathed!

The scarlet sword light flashed and vanished, becoming the straw that broke the camel’s back. Old Man Dragon Angler didn’t even have time to activate his Spirit Treasure or display a Divine Ability!

At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind:

‘Why me?’

I was cautious enough. I wasn’t the first to chase and kill the opponent, nor was I the one talking trash. From start to finish, I was the most low-key.

Yet he chose to kill me!

Why!?

I refuse to accept this!

Countless grievances and resentments emerged from Old Man Dragon Angler’s heart, but were extinguished by a single sword slash, revealing Lu Yang’s figure with the magnificent colors of a Divine Ability flowing all over his body.

It was a brand-new Divine Ability radiance.

Seeing this Divine Ability, even Perfected One Yin Shan revealed a look of astonishment, looking at Lu Yang, who stood smiling, with a gaze of disbelief.

“A second Innate Divine Ability…?”

[Hidden Stellar Radiance]!

To be precise, it wasn’t a second one, but simulated using the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict]. Yet, at the critical moment, it became Lu Yang’s killing move!

[Hidden Stellar Radiance]—At the time when Yang fire is born and Yin fire retreats, as the rising sun emerges, the arranged stars hide. Even clear karma finds it difficult to reveal its light. It can conceal karma, aura, and blind the danger perception of a Foundation Establishment Perfected One. That was why the Treasure-Laden Youth could detect the killing intent, while Old Man Dragon Angler had no reaction at all!

From the beginning, Lu Yang’s target was him.

Old Man Dragon Angler himself was confused, but in reality, to Lu Yang, this was the simplest choice—because among everyone present, only he was a rogue cultivator.

Rogue cultivators are the easiest to kill. If I don’t kill you, who do I kill?

Even so, just in case, Lu Yang still used the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict] to temporarily raise his cultivation to the fullness of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

In addition, he also used the backdoor of the [Avici Sword].

It seemed light as the clouds and gentle as the wind, but in reality, he had gone all out, applying both approaches simultaneously. Only then did he manage to kill Old Man Dragon Angler with one sword strike under the watchful eyes of everyone!

In the next second, a loud noise was heard!

Boom!

Old Man Dragon Angler’s True Body exploded with a boom. The sword light shredded every drop of flesh and blood, and his Dao Foundation was also devoured completely by the [Avici Sword], making full use of the person.

Bathing in the sky-filling flowing light formed by his fall, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

“Sure enough, bullying the weak is still more interesting…”

If not for [Hidden Stellar Radiance] blinding the spiritual perception, he might not necessarily have been able to kill Old Man Dragon Angler. But with [Hidden Stellar Radiance], everything happened naturally.

In the final analysis, it was because of the enhancement from the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict] that his realm was higher.

Using the strong to bully the weak—naturally, nothing can stand in the way!

Challenging above one’s level—one should, by rights, be unstoppable!
