289: Fierce Battle

The two of them started fighting after only a few words, leaving the Yinkui Sect Disciples following Wang Defa stunned.

"My heavens, they started fighting after barely exchanging two sentences?"

"Lu Dazhuang is too decisive!"

"He moved so quickly; he must be trying to avenge Li Yuan."

"If the other Elders in the Sect weren't preoccupied, they wouldn't have risked sending the Vice Sect Master out. Before departing, he swore that the Lingyun Sect people wouldn't dare to attack him, but he didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly."

"This Lu Dazhuang looks so young; he seems even younger than me. Can such a young kid really be qualified to be a Peak Master?"

"I heard he's Jiang Taishen's fourth Personal Disciple, so he probably got in through connections."

"Then wouldn't the Vice Sect Master be able to beat him senseless?"

As the smoke and dust cleared, Wang Defa's figure was revealed.

The sleeves of his robes were completely destroyed, and a few drops of blood fell to the ground.

Wang Defa's face was extremely grim.

He, the dignified Vice Sect Master of the Yinkui Sect, a Five-Star Martial Venerable, was actually injured by a mere greenhorn.

It was an absolute disgrace!

Wang Defa said in a deep voice, "Lu Dazhuang, congratulations, you've successfully enraged me. Today, you and the Lingyun Sect Disciples you brought will all remain here forever."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Old Scum, don't talk big. Try to defeat me first!"

"Word Spirit, Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit!"

"Moon Gazing Art!"

Lu Xingchen let out two low shouts in succession, and his Aura rapidly climbed, his Realm elevating from Six-Star Martial Ancestor to One-Star Martial Venerable.

Such terrifying speed of advancement greatly surprised Wang Defa.

"What a terrifying secret art! It actually allows you to fight beyond your Realm. Lu Dazhuang, you truly are Jiang Taishen's Personal Disciple!"

Lu Xingchen twisted his neck and said in a deep voice, "So, Old Scum, are you ready to die?"

Wang Defa snorted coldly.

"Lu Dazhuang, you're far too arrogant! Not to mention how long your secret art can last, even if your Realm rises to One-Star Martial Venerable, the gap between you and me is still as vast as a chasm."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "A gap? I don't see one!"

"Word Spirit, Crimson Sun!"

Lu Xingchen let out a low shout, and hundreds of fireballs reappeared.

He possessed Fused Spirit Fire, so when using "Crimson Sun," its power would greatly increase.

Therefore, Lu Xingchen activated this Word Spirit once more.

One trick, and you can conquer the world!

This time, Wang Defa did not passively defend. Instead, he also let out a low shout.

"Taiyin Palm!"

A pitch-black Dou Qi Hand Seal condensed in front of Wang Defa, then slammed down towards Lu Xingchen.

The fireballs and the Dou Qi Hand Seal collided, stirring up waves of Qi, and then both were annihilated.

Wang Defa laughed triumphantly, "Lu Dazhuang, you don't only have this one move, do you? If that's truly the case, then you can die."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Until the last moment, who wins and who loses is still unknown!"

Wang Defa said sharply, "You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

With that, he spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew towards Lu Xingchen.

The Yinkui Sect and the Lingyun Sect were both Eighth-Rank Sects in the Western Zhongzhou, and there were often frictions between them, so they understood each other well.

The foundation of the Yinkui Sect was Puppets. Almost every member of the Sect had a Puppet of the same Realm, and some even had Puppets of a higher Realm or more than one Puppet.

In battle, they could often form a situation of outnumbering the opponent, ganging up on them.

The foundation of the Lingyun Sect was Word Spirit.

The members of the Lingyun Sect could freely use the Word Spirit Power, which was incredibly profound in the eyes of the world.

But there was a trade-off: to maximize the effect of Word Spirit, the Lingyun Sect only recruited Disciples with strong Soul Power, and their Cultivation direction leaned towards the Soul, while their own Cultivation and close-combat abilities were weaker.

If the two sides were far apart, the Disciples of the Lingyun Sect would have an advantage.

But once they were engaged in close combat, the Lingyun Sect people probably couldn't withstand a single punch from the enemy.

When fighting Li Yuan earlier, Wang Defa used his Puppet to block Li Yuan's Word Spirit attack, then seized the opportunity to get close and severely injure him with one move.

Therefore, when facing a member of the Lingyun Sect, one must get close as quickly as possible!

Wang Defa flew towards Lu Xingchen at the fastest speed, while Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly and activated "Lingyun Art."

This Legacy Martial Skill of the Lingyun Sect, Li Yuechang knew, and as a Peak Master, he couldn't possibly not know it.

Anyway, he had the System, and the moment he touched the scroll given by Liu Ruyan, he mastered this Martial Skill.

As for why he used "Lingyun Art" instead of the higher-grade "Soul Breaking Art," it was because he wanted to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.

A white light wave condensed around Lu Xingchen, then shot out towards Wang Defa.

Seeing this, Wang Defa frowned deeply.

He had naturally heard of this Legacy Martial Skill of the Lingyun Sect, and Li He had also used it on him a month ago.

At that time, his Soul Power had just broken through to Late Spirit Realm, and he took a full-force blow from Li He, who was at Spirit Realm Great Perfection. He immediately bled from his seven orifices and felt extremely uncomfortable.

One could only say that the people of the Lingyun Sect were truly disgusting; even if they couldn't win, they could severely damage the opponent's Soul.

Fighting a master from the Lingyun Sect, regardless of victory or defeat, would require ten days to half a month of recovery.

But Wang Defa had no other choice. He cursed angrily, but still rushed towards Lu Xingchen, intending to endure this blow.

The white light wave slammed heavily into Wang Defa's body.

A piercing pain surged through his brain, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling dizzy.

This Lu Dazhuang's Soul attack was not at all weaker than Li He's!

Having caused Wang Defa to stiffen, Lu Xingchen hastily activated "Dustless Land."

A colorless barrier appeared around his body.

Wang Defa recovered and hastily struck a palm towards Lu Xingchen, hitting the colorless barrier hard.

Ripples spread across the barrier, but it still wasn't broken.

Wang Defa snorted coldly.

"Dustless Land, huh? The Lingyun Sect Disciples' signature skill. Li He also used this move before. However, even Li He couldn't block my attack, Lu Dazhuang, do you think you, a Late Spirit Realm, have such ability?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Talking nonsense is useless. If you have the ability, break my barrier!"

Wang Defa let out a series of sneers.

"Alright, I'll break it for you to see!"

With that, Wang Defa continuously struck with his palms, fully attacking Lu Xingchen's colorless barrier.

Even with the help of Fused Spirit Fire and the "Devour" talent, the hard power gap between the two was still too great.

Despite Lu Xingchen's full effort, cracks still appeared on the colorless barrier until it completely shattered.

Wang Defa laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! Lu Dazhuang, without the opportunity to cast other Word Spirits, you are as fragile as a lamb before me!"

With that, he struck a palm towards Lu Xingchen.
