173: The Three Gods Realm is really difficult to deal with!

That day, Hua Yunshu was pressed to the ground and rubbed by Lu Bai in the Liuyun City Lord's Mansion. Today…

Profound Celestial of Qingxuan Sect was also violently beaten by Yun Tianlan in a thunderous manner, using the primitive method of close-quarters combat!

No, strictly speaking, there was still some difference.

In terms of spiritual power, Profound Celestial might be slightly weaker than Yun Tianlan, but… as a fellow Yang Spirit Realm expert, how could he be completely defenseless?

Boom!

Immediately, after Yun Tianlan pressed his head hard against the ground, Profound Celestial suddenly got up, burst out with spiritual power, and rapidly retreated.

Only then did he break free from the predicament of being beaten.

"Yun Tianlan, do not disregard the consequences for a moment's pleasure. Do you know the price of such actions?"

Profound Celestial said with a gloomy Face.

Although Dao Asking Sect was an old power with deep foundations, Qingxuan Sect had expanded wildly in recent years, its momentum surging, even showing signs of becoming the top Sect in Qingxuan Province.

Many Cultivators even believed that if Qingxuan Province were to establish a Holy Land, this power would be Qingxuan Sect, not Dao Asking Sect.

Yun Tianlan did not answer, but silently rubbed his fists.

"Besides, although my Qingxuan Sect had such an idea before, the result hasn't happened yet, right? How about… we just let it go?"

Seeing that there was room for reconciliation in this matter, Profound Celestial struck while the iron was hot.

It wasn't because Qingxuan Sect was afraid of Dao Asking Sect, nor was it because Profound Celestial feared Yun Tianlan. The main reason was…

He couldn't win.

The latter, after all, had once been a Prodigy who cultivated at Great Zhou Academy. Even if his combat power wasn't terrifying enough to suppress an entire generation, dealing with fellow Realm Cultivators was a piece of cake for him.

Not to mention, Profound Celestial's Realm was even lower than Yun Tianlan's.

Logically speaking, between major Sects, they would rather talk than fight, and if they could solve it with a fight, they would never start a war.

If another Peak Lord from Dao Asking Sect had come, they would have definitely discussed terms amicably.

But unfortunately…

The one who came was the Peak Lord of Punishment Peak, Yun Tianlan.

"Hmm, what you said makes sense. Precisely because this hasn't happened yet, so…"

Yun Tianlan looked up at him, slowly took a step, and continued to walk towards Profound Celestial.

"You're still alive."

"You…"

Profound Celestial's voice suddenly became thin, mixed with a hint of imperceptible fear.

"Are you trying to start a war with my Qingxuan Sect?!"

The next moment his words fell, even without Yun Tianlan's answer, Profound Celestial had already gotten his answer.

He stood rooted to the spot, watching his head meet Yun Tianlan's fist.

The other party was dishonorable and didn't give him a chance to talk at all!

Boom!

The two top experts of the Yang Spirit Realm erupted in a fierce clash at this moment!

"If you want to start a war, feel free."

Yun Tianlan said, giving him an answer, but what he said next caused Profound Celestial's heart to churn even more.

"But today, if you don't return to Qingxuan Sect heavily injured and scurrying away, this Lord will cripple his cultivation and kowtow for three days and three nights in front of Senior Brother Ye."

Back then, Yun Tianlan's strength was insufficient, and he didn't have the ability to stand up, but now…

He had the strength of the Yang Spirit Realm. If he could protect Senior Brother Ye in this matter and help him vent his anger, then he would never hesitate to act.

As for the consequences…

He wasn't the Sect Master of Dao Asking Sect, so why should he care!

"Yun Tianlan, don't go too far!"

In the distance, Shang Linfeng also angrily rebuked him when he saw this.

Yun Tianlan glanced at him, and a cold voice came out.

"Say one more word, and I'll beat you too."

Yun Tianlan didn't care if the other party was from a Holy Land or not; he'd beat them first.

Besides, wasn't it just someone from a Holy Land?

It's not like their Sect Master Senior Brother didn't have such connections.

Hearing this, Shang Linfeng glared at Yun Tianlan, closed his mouth, and fiercely condemned this behavior in his heart.

At this moment, Profound Celestial also understood the current situation, gritted his teeth slightly, and made up his mind.

"Do you really think this old man is a soft persimmon?!"

Profound Celestial snorted coldly, and the spiritual power on his body actually showed signs of burning. His entire aura also doubled at this moment.

Originally, he just didn't want to use such a secret technique, as the price was too great and there was a time limit.

But now… he was forced into a desperate situation by Yun Tianlan, with no other choice!

And so…

A top-level showdown between two major Sects, between Yang Spirit Realm experts, began anew!

"This… the expert from Dao Asking Sect actually doesn't even put someone from a Holy Land like Eastern Region Academy in his eyes, not giving them any Face at all!"

Countless gazes watched this scene, all shocked in their hearts.

Perhaps they had once suspected that an old Sect like Dao Asking Sect was gradually having its fangs blunted by time, no longer powerful.

But today…

Yun Tianlan's action was tantamount to telling them that Dao Asking Sect was still Dao Asking Sect, still… that top Sect standing tall in Qingxuan Province!

…

"This Dao Asking Sect is truly too arrogant!"

Shang Linfeng retreated a bit further, reaching a safer position, before saying coldly.

"Mr. Shang, although this Yun Tianlan seems reckless and powerful, now that he is entangled with Lord Profound Celestial, the other people from Dao Asking Sect are not to be feared."

"As long as we capture them, Yun Tianlan will naturally collapse without a fight."

A Nascent Soul expert from Qingxuan Sect said. These were also the words Profound Celestial had transmitted to him earlier, telling them to act against Lu Bai and the others.

He was very agitated and anxious.

It was clear that even with the secret technique, Profound Celestial wouldn't last long in front of Yun Tianlan.

Hearing this, Shang Linfeng did not rush to answer, but glanced at the other people from Dao Asking Sect.

Only Yun Tianlan came to support them. The rest… apart from the more Prodigious Lu Bai, Ye Jiangming was the strongest.

Nascent Soul Peak, and he was still half-crippled.

Not to be feared.

"Since that's the case, this matter… I will handle it as an Elder."

Shang Linfeng said slowly.

In an instant, a powerful fluctuation once again enveloped Lu Bai and the others!

Although there was only one person, this one Three Gods Realm expert was enough to make the remaining few from Dao Asking Sect feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

"This shameless old thing, Eastern Region Academy is really…"

Elder Ye immediately burst out with vulgarities.

It was bad enough that the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect was shameless, but why were the people from Eastern Region Academy also so shameless?

A very confident voice rang out in this place.

"No worries, I will act!"

Hearing this, Elder Ye subconsciously looked at the White-robed Youth beside him, but noticed something was wrong.

Because this was not Lu Bai's voice.

Meng Lang grinned, raised both hands, and the spiritual power in his Golden Core was instantly drained.

At the same time, countless spirit seals were instantly formed, floating in the air, constructing a complex Formation radiating a scorching aura.

It was none other than…

The Vermillion Bird Spirit Array!

"Caw!"

Within the Formation, the Vermilion Bird Formation Spirit also erupted with a powerful aura.

Shang Linfeng's figure stopped abruptly, first becoming vigilant, but then he felt the aura of the Vermilion Bird Formation Spirit, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Is that all?"

Although this spirit array was strong, it was already at its limit when dealing with Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage.

In front of him, it was even more vulnerable!

Shang Linfeng directly ignored the scorching heat of the Vermillion Bird Spirit Array and took a step into it.

"Don't worry, with my Vermillion Bird Spirit Array, I should be able to trap him for a while…"

But the next moment…

Bang!

A huge explosion sounded, and all the spiritual power forming the Vermillion Bird Spirit Array dissipated and was annihilated at this moment. The Vermilion Bird Formation Spirit that had been constructed earlier was also crushed barehanded.

Meng Lang: ゛( '◇' )?

Ah, this…

Meng Lang was instantly dumbfounded. His proud Vermillion Bird Spirit Array really only trapped him for a moment!

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think too much.

A Three Gods Realm expert was not someone they could deal with right now. The immense crisis at hand was the primary issue to resolve.

Among the Dao Asking Sect Cultivators present, Meng Lang had already been ruled out. Xiao Qingyun was only at Golden Core Fourth Revolution, and the power gap was too large.

Elder Ye, of course, didn't need to be mentioned.

The only ones who could possibly hold back Shang Linfeng for a while were Ye Chengying and Lu Bai.

And so…

Just as the Sword Cultivator girl was about to unleash her trump card and fight with all her might.

However, she felt a familiar fluctuation coming from beside her.

The White-robed Youth took a step, his palm already covering a spiritual sword radiating a scorching aura.

The Yang Sword of the Yin and Yang Twin Swords, without the amplification of the Blazing Fire Sword Saint's power and unable to use the dual sword 疊加…

This Yang Sword was the strongest spiritual power Lu Bai could wield.

"It's still a bit difficult."

Lu Bai lowered his head and sighed.

Now at the Nascent Soul Realm, he could barely control the cold erosion of the Yin Sword, but he couldn't yet control the scorching sensation of the Yang Sword.

The scorching aura emanating from this Yang Sword was even burning his spiritual power.

Under normal combat, Lu Bai at this stage might not necessarily use this sword.

But at present, facing such an opponent, one sword was enough.

Instantly…

Lu Bai's eyes were tightly shut, but what was before him was not darkness. It was as if… it was incredibly vibrant and colorful.

All the scenery seemed to have changed, and he felt as if he was in a mysterious Realm.

Coupled with the blessing of the Supreme Sword Body, Lu Bai merged with his surroundings, his will moving with his heart.

Ye Chengying's beautiful eyes instantly narrowed, and her astonished gaze lingered on Lu Bai's Face.

"This… this isn't my…"

Wasn't this her trump card?

When did Lu Bai learn this?

"Playing tricks!"

Shang Linfeng snorted coldly, his Divine Sense locked onto Lu Bai, and he punched towards him.

Although he thought so, he naturally kept an extra eye on a Prodigy like Lu Bai.

At the same time…

Lu Bai's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. The moment he drew his sword, sword cries rose one after another, and surging Sword Qi also burst forth!

This sword even cut through the surrounding space. Such momentum was even comparable to the oppressive feeling brought by a Three Gods Realm expert!

"This is…"

Shang Linfeng's pupils suddenly widened, reflecting Lu Bai's sword strike.

In Shang Linfeng's eyes, this sword was extremely slow, but… he couldn't dodge it no matter what. It was as if the moment he was locked on, he could only take this sword head-on!

This sword, even Shang Linfeng, smelled danger!

How was that possible!

Wasn't this Lu Bai only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage?

Boom—

This seemingly simple sword strike contained Lu Bai's three Sword Intents, plus all of his spiritual power.

Logically speaking, it would be very, very difficult to achieve such proficiency the first time.

But Lu Bai had experience with Sword Intent superposition, plus he had seen the teachings in that vision, so this matter was not difficult for him.

The power of this sword, even the Ten Thousand Swords Technique with its myriad spiritual swords, could hardly compare to it.

It could be considered Lu Bai's strongest killing move to date.

With one sword, it was devastating. The spiritual power condensed on Shang Linfeng's surface was destroyed, and his body flew backward…

No, to be precise, he was blasted away.

Boom!

He heavily crashed into the urban area of Liuyun City, creating an earth-shattering sound that echoed from afar.

A deathly silence permeated the air, and countless Cultivators stared at this scene in astonishment.

Immediately after, exclamations rose one after another!

What did they see?

Dao Asking Sect's Lu Bai… with his Early Stage Nascent Soul Realm, the sword he unleashed actually shook a Three Gods Realm expert!

And it was a Three Gods Realm expert from a Holy Land like Eastern Region Academy!

It turned out that the seemingly unremarkable White-robed Youth was the most Prodigious one within Wen Jian Peak!

"So, when we fought, he held back?"

Yue Yidao looked at this scene with a complex expression, then a feeling of admiration spontaneously arose in his heart.

"Such a Sword Cultivator, truly admirable."

If Lu Bai had acted mercilessly when he fought him earlier, he might have already perished.

Not only them, but even the people of Wen Jian Peak were shocked after seeing this scene.

Although they had an expectation, knowing that Lu Bai's talent was Prodigious and his combat power unparalleled.

But…

To repel a Three Gods Realm expert with one sword, wasn't that too abnormal?

Facing countless shocked gazes, Lu Bai just shook his head, sighed lightly, and gripped the hilt of his sword again.

"This Three Gods Realm expert from Eastern Region Academy is really difficult to deal with."
