Chapter 330: Brother Ye, I Have Avenged You!

At this instant, everyone was stunned.

Cheng Xian and the other Human Immortals of the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] were surprised that this could actually kill someone, while on the Sword Pavilion side, they were purely surprised that Ye Xingfeng could be killed like this.

Ye Guyue’s beautiful eyes widened instantly.

Impossible!

Although Ye Xingfeng was only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and not yet at Perfection, he possessed an extremely high-quality [Sword Pellet]. His true combat power was definitely not weak among Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

How could he be heavily injured by one move from Cheng Xian and fall as a result?

This was unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Ye Guyue suddenly shifted her gaze, staring fixedly at Lu Yang, who looked grief-stricken: “…It was your doing! You dare to harm a Sword Pavilion Perfected One?”

“Fellow Daoist, don’t speak nonsense.”

Lu Yang sighed, his face unable to hide the grief: “Brother Ye and I hit it off at first sight, and we had no enmity before. Why would I harm him?”

Lu Yang thought these words were enough to stop Ye Guyue’s mouth.

However, he still underestimated the lower limit of a Sword Pavilion Perfected One. Upon hearing this, Ye Guyue actually revealed a righteous expression and said without hesitation:

“Of course, it’s because we want you dead!”

“You definitely saw through mine and Xingfeng’s thoughts, so you deliberately set a trap and harmed him! A rogue cultivator who doesn’t know good intentions… truly a Jiangbei Demon!”

Hearing this, Lu Yang stared straight at Ye Guyue, only to see her expression was calm, not feeling anything wrong with what she said at all. Instead, she became more certain: “If you die, you would reincarnate. In the future, you would naturally have the opportunity to join my Sword Pavilion. I never thought you would be so vicious!”

“You not knowing what’s good for you!”

With this thought, killing intent surfaced in Ye Guyue’s eyes looking at Lu Yang. Seeing this, Lu Yang put on an even more aggrieved expression:

“Fellow Daoist Ye, I am also heartbroken by Brother Ye’s death.”

He sighed and said: “But with a great enemy before us, we should unite and join hands against the enemy first. We can’t lose the big for the small, right?”

“You… Hmph!”

Ye Guyue was not a fool after all. She knew internal strife was impossible at this critical moment, but she was unwilling to join hands with Lu Yang, instead distancing herself from him.

Lu Yang looked even more aggrieved seeing this, sighing involuntarily and thinking:

Its a pity, I can’t take the opportunity to pit a second one to death in the chaos…

—Ye Guyue’s guess was correct.

That’s right, he did it.

Just relying on Cheng Xian’s full-force attack, it was of course impossible to kill Ye Xingfeng. Even if Ye Xingfeng was caught off guard, he couldn’t be beaten to heavy injury with one move.

However, adding Lu Yang made it different.

[Sea of Sorrow] allows me to transform into a sea of Qi, gathering and dispersing unpredictably, hard to be hurt by divine abilities. At the same time, the smoke transformed from my body spreads out and can obscure people’s Divine Sense!

The reason Ye Xingfeng was heavily injured by Cheng Xian’s blow was that his Divine Sense was blinded by the [Sea of Sorrow]. He didn’t detect Cheng Xian’s attack at all until he was hit. But it was too late then. He died suddenly without being able to exert any of his divine abilities.

That’s for chasing me overseas in the previous life!

Lu Yang put away his grief. While sneering in his heart, he withdrew his gaze from Ye Guyue’s graceful back. He was never in a hurry for revenge.

There would be plenty of time in the future!

With this thought, Lu Yang looked towards Cheng Xian again, seeing this Human Immortal looking calm. After all who died wasn’t actually important to him.

What was important was that someone died.

At least one great enemy less, I can also relax a bit…

Cheng Xian pondered in his heart, glanced at Lu Yang again, then decisively retreated. He no longer clashed head-on with him but killed his way towards Yu Shao.

Pick the soft persimmon to pinch first!

This person’s divine abilities are treacherous. I can’t take him down in a short while to snatch back the [Shen Metal]. Instead of wasting time, better to achieve one goal first…

Cheng Xian’s thinking was clear, but how could Lu Yang give him the chance? His figure exploded with a boom, turning into a sky-filling smoke sea spreading out again. Clouds rose within the smoke sea, swallowing Cheng Xian in one gulp, then manifesting layers of illusions, all provoking the distracting thoughts in Cheng Xian’s heart.

“[Bright]! [Clear]! [Awake]!”

Cheng Xian stood in the smoke sea, constantly bursting out mantras from his mouth. Heavenly light and raging fire flowed between his lips and teeth, burning all the surrounding smoke sea illusions into nothingness.

If he were still in his peak state, he wouldn’t mind tangling with Lu Yang.

However, his spiritual power consumption was huge at this moment. If he couldn’t win quickly, when the previously dispelled injuries returned, he would die suddenly without needing to be beaten.

Lu Yang also saw this point.

So his tactic was very simple, just one word— stall!

[Sea of Sorrow] combined with [Essence of Myriad Fragrances], while lacking substantial lethality, is unparalleled in its ability to bewitch and entangle the mind!’

Moreover, with the passage of time, Lu Yang’s mastery of the [Sea of Sorrow] deepened. Even if Cheng Xian constantly used mantras to burn the smoke sea transformed by the divine ability, the wonder of the [Sea of Sorrow] lay in this— everything born from the heart. As long as Cheng Xian couldn’t guard his mind and his intent was affected by the illusions…

Then the numerous thoughts he generated would all become nutrients for the [Sea of Sorrow].

However much was burned here, that much would be generated there!

The result was that Cheng Xian’s own spiritual power was constantly worn down, and his mind was crumbling, while Lu Yang reaped the benefits of a fisherman without any loss from beginning to end.

And I haven’t even falsely assumed the position of a Great Perfected One yet!

He had already gathered four divine abilities at this time. If he drew mighty force from the [Myriad Spirits Banner] again, letting both Great Void Divine Abilities obtain their due stature…

He would instantly be Late Stage Foundation Establishment!

Although the duration wouldn’t be long, and there would be backlash afterward, it was ultimately combat power at the level of a Great Perfected One. Bringing it out at a critical moment was enough to determine the victory.

No rush, using it now is too wasteful…

Lu Yang knew very well how deceptive he was now. Who would think that a rogue cultivator not even perfect at Middle Stage Foundation Establishment could suddenly become a Great Perfected One?

While he was calm and unhurried here, Cheng Xian couldn’t hold on over there.

If this continues, I will die!

Inside the layers of smoke sea, Cheng Xian looked solemn. Cracks gradually appeared on his originally perfect body; this was the return of the previously dispelled injuries.

At this moment, the life and death crisis finally overwhelmed the inexplicable obsession in his heart.

How about… withdrawing?

Ultimately, why should I continue fighting? I still have a bright future in the [Mystic Spirit World Realm]. Staying here to fight to the death is simply not worth the loss…

With this thought, Cheng Xian immediately had the intention to retreat.

But how could Lu Yang give him the chance? Or rather, the retreat intention that surfaced in Cheng Xian at this moment was forcibly hooked out by him using the [Sea of Sorrow]!

Boom!

Instantly, a point of golden light exploded within the sky-filling smoke sea. Hiding in the smoke sea, hard to detect, it came silently behind Cheng Xian.

Then came a heaven-shaking loud noise. Cheng Xian’s body didn’t have time to turn around at all. Just like Ye Xingfeng before his death, when he reacted, Lu Yang’s knife had already stabbed in. Boiling sword Qi, like raging fire, pierced into the skin and flesh, then quickly spread to the limbs and bones.

[Yuan Tu Treasure Talisman]!

Being in the Sword Pavilion camp, Lu Yang naturally couldn’t use Saint Sect techniques. He could only take out all the [Sword Qi Talismans] he refined alone before.

Then stuffed them all into Cheng Xian’s body in one breath.

“No, don’t…”

Before Cheng Xian finished speaking, thousands of sword Qi erupted, shooting him into a sieve on the spot.

To make matters worse, due to being heavily injured again, Cheng Xian’s divine ability became unstable. The injuries he dispelled earlier all returned at this moment.

This return instantly exceeded his endurance limit.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Cheng Xian’s body cracked open like this, turning into countless fragments, finally swept up by Lu Yang with the [Myriad Spirits Banner] and collected into the flag.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to shout: “Brother Ye, I have avenged you!”

With Cheng Xian dead, the already shaken Human Immortals of the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] became even more terrified.

Just then.

Boom!

A loud noise, clouds opened and mist dispersed.

Above the sky, the azure-white color finally dissipated, revealing the figure of Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon, Ye Guangji. The [No-Kill] sword had already returned to its sheath.

His expression remained melancholy, his sighs full of sadness.

However, contrary to his appearance, blood dripped down his face, and in his hand he held the heads of Heaven Immortal Ming Hua and the three Earth Immortals!
