211: Meet again at the bottom of the lake
Whoosh!
Lin Yang was about to peek out and settle scores, but just as he poked out half his head, two more flying daggers slashed through the air, cutting through the lake surface with terrifying power.
However, Lin Yang was somewhat surprised at this moment, because the two flying daggers were too inaccurate.
They landed several feet away from him; there was no need to dodge at all. Were they not targeting him?
Lin Yang leaped out of the lake, and his eyes immediately sharpened.
He saw a massive melee erupting outside, with numerous figures. Waves of majestic Qi and blood surged like rivers and seas, crashing against the sky, engaged in a world-shaking showdown.
The weakest among them were all Body Tempering Seventh Heaven cultivators.
There were no less than a hundred Body Tempering Eighth Heaven cultivators!
And even Body Tempering Ninth Heaven experts, who were rarely seen in the outside world, Lin Yang immediately spotted no less than five!
"This is bad. It seems I'm not the only one eyeing the life and death profound tree," Lin Yang thought, sensing trouble. The allure of one of the Nine Great undying medicines of antiquity was too strong, attracting countless competitors, all of whom possessed formidable Physical Bodies.
Even with his Body Tempering Ninth Heaven cultivated by the Indestructible Scripture, he couldn't possibly fight a hundred opponents in such a chaotic environment. He needed to act cautiously.
It would be best to fish in troubled waters, taking the life and death profound tree amidst the chaos.
This was the superior Dao.
Boom!
The battle was incredibly fierce. The surging Qi and blood churned the vast lake upside down, splashing water dozens of feet high into the sky, creating a vast expanse of white. Lin Yang, who was hiding in the water, waiting for an opportunity, was almost swept away.
At the same time, the underwater situation became increasingly chaotic.
Undercurrents surged, and many experts were engaged in fierce duels beneath the surface.
"A bunch of brutes, have you seen the undying medicine? You're just fighting here."
Lin Yang was speechless. The scene was a chaotic mess, with various surging Qi and blood masking the aura of the undying medicine, which caused him great inconvenience in tracking the life and death profound tree.
However, fortunately, the life and death profound tree itself was mobile and hadn't been caught yet. For him, there were still many opportunities to capture it.
Glancing at the intensely battling crowd, Lin Yang had no intention of joining them. He immediately focused his senses again to perceive the aura left by the life and death profound tree.
"Eh, it's underwater!"
After careful sensing, Lin Yang discovered that the place with the strongest residual medicinal fragrance was not on the lake surface, but hidden behind a large rock underwater.
Lin Yang fixed his gaze, only to see a few tendrils of roots peeking out from the edge of the rock, resembling slender Dragons, sparkling brightly.
Boom!
Great waves surged, and this area became even more turbulent and intense.
Lin Yang frowned, slightly displeased, because several times he had narrowly avoided being hit by blades and spears flying from the chaotic crowd for no reason.
If not for the life and death profound tree, he truly wanted to rush into the crowd and fight, giving a good beating to those few guys who couldn't even hold their weapons properly.
βHmm?β
Just as Lin Yang was diving underwater, darting towards the large rock where the life and death profound tree was suspected to be hiding...
Suddenly.
A pure white jade body, enveloped in moonlight, flashed and disappeared underwater, seizing the life and death profound tree one step ahead of him.
Someone else, like him, had discovered the whereabouts of the life and death profound tree and wanted to get there first!
From within the white light, a snowy white hand reached out, instantly restraining the life and death profound tree. After placing it into a spatial qiankun bag, she turned to leave.
"Fellow Daoist, stop!"
Lin Yang shouted urgently, because he knew he couldn't let the other party leave easily.
This person's ability to sneak and hide in such a chaotic crowd, and to take the life and death profound tree before him, was absolutely profound!
If he allowed the other party to take the life and death profound tree now, it would most likely never be found again!
Boom!
With this thought, Lin Yang was already behind the woman, striking like lightning. He grabbed one of the Moonlight Maiden's straight, slender, fair legs, restraining it with an Undying Divine Rune.
Immediately after, Lin Yang moved at extreme speed, taking her by surprise, and snatched the qiankun bag containing the life and death profound tree.
At this moment, the Moonlight Maiden's ivory-white, glowing body trembled slightly. A layer of goosebumps appeared on her snowy skin and jade-like flesh.
Clearly, the unexpected attack had greatly shocked her, and she instinctively tensed her body.
"Buzz!"
But the Moonlight Maiden's reaction was also extremely fast. She radiated an even more dazzling light, and kicked hard with her beautiful leg, intending to directly shake off Lin Yang.
In an instant, Lin Yang felt as if he wasn't holding a human leg, but a true Dragon!
This shocked Lin Yang. This flawless, fair jade leg, like beautiful jade, actually possessed such immense power, emitting incredibly astonishing and terrifying fluctuations.
If it were someone below Body Tempering Ninth Heaven holding it, they would most likely be shaken to death right now.
"Come here, you!"
Feeling the other party's fierce resistance, Lin Yang dared not be careless. The Undying Divine Rune bloomed, and he gripped her ankle tightly, preparing for further suppression.
The Moonlight Maiden had already turned to leave, but suddenly one of her legs was seized and restrained. And when her initial force failed to break free, she immediately turned back, enraged.
"It's you!"
The Moonlight Maiden's dark hair flowed, her moonlit face was exquisitely beautiful and agile. Upon discovering that the person holding her was Lin Yang, her crystal-clear beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
Boom!
At the same time, her protective moonlight, which concealed her figure, was forcibly shattered by Lin Yang's power of the Undying Divine Rune.
Whoosh!
Beneath the moonlight was a woman in a white gauze dress.
The woman's white dress fluttered underwater. The slightly exposed skin was smooth as jade, snowy white and crystal clear, with dark hair like a waterfall.
The lake water rippled, slightly lifting the veil on the woman's delicate face, revealing a jade-like countenance so beautiful it was breathtaking.
Lin Yang glimpsed the woman's peerless face beneath the veil and was instantly stunned.
Because the white-clothed woman shrouded in moonlight was none other than the woman he had encountered by chance not long ago.
Li Shiya!
"Is this karmic entanglement...?"
Lin Yang muttered to himself, why did he always unexpectedly encounter Li Shiya?
"Let go!"
While Lin Yang was momentarily dazed, Li Shiya let out a soft cry. Her jade body glowed, and a terrifying fluctuation spread. Her radiant forehead emitted a crystalline luster, from which a brilliant moonlight shot out, transforming into a Moonlight Blade that slashed down.
Lin Yang's palm stung, but he refused to let go.
Because with the Undying Divine Rune blocking it, the Moonlight Blade struggled to penetrate and couldn't truly harm him.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Shiya's beautiful eyes.
That Moonlight Blade was a Physical Body Divine Ability she had cultivated after achieving Major Achievement in her Body Refining method.
Although her strike just now wasn't with full power, at such close range, even other Body Tempering Ninth Heaven experts wouldn't be able to emerge unscathed.
Yet Lin Yang was unharmed?
"Indestructible Scripture!"
Looking at the mysterious patterns lighting up on Lin Yang's hand, Li Shiya's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately thought of that epoch-making Body Refining method.
"Clang!"
Li Shiya's glabella radiated an even more dazzling light. The moonlight transformed into a Divine Sword, its sharp glow radiating, incomparably keen, slashing towards Lin Yang's hands.
She naturally wouldn't just watch Lin Yang hold her leg without letting go. The Moonlight Divine Sword hummed softly. The peerless Fairy revealed her cold and ruthless side at this moment, unceremoniously unleashing a sky-shaking sword strike.
"Buzz!"
The Void Realm trembled. Lin Yang's nine Undying Divine Runes simultaneously lit up, intertwining to form a domain.
The Undying Light Domain reappeared, sturdy and indestructible. When the Moonlight Divine Sword landed on it, it emitted a clanging sound, but it was unable to shatter it.
Li Shiya took a sharp breath. What kind of ability was this from the other party?
Even her full-power strike couldn't shake it!
