332: Ten Thousand Souls Banner

The Sacred Dragon Palace that Dongfang Yuqing mentioned is a Ninth-Rank Sect in the Central Continent Middle Region, with some ties to the Dragon Clan. Its Disciples can also absorb Dragon Power.

Lin Aotian, one of the eight prodigies of the central province, hails from the Sacred Dragon Palace.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "You wouldn't have fought Lin Aotian, would you?"

Dongfang Yuqing nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Your reaction is quite fast. Although the Dragon Power in your body is not as strong as Lin Aotian's, it's not too far off. You're quite a character!"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "So, are you planning to concede?"

Dongfang Yuqing said indifferently, "Concede? The battle has just begun!"

With that, he struck several palms at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen also retaliated with his moves.

Although the Realm gap was too large and his Qi intensity was inferior to Dongfang Yuqing's, with the help of the emperor-grade dragon bone and Dragon Power, Lu Xingchen still blocked his attacks.

But he only managed to block them; counterattacking was extremely difficult.

In just a few tens of seconds, the two exchanged over a hundred blows.

Neither emerged victorious.

The two once again distanced themselves.

Dongfang Yuqing said indifferently, "Such terrifying Physical Body power, even I am ashamed of my inferiority. Da Zhuang, your performance is truly astonishing!"

"We've been fighting for so long, and my Qi hasn't been able to penetrate your body. I assume that's also the effect of Dragon Power, right? If so, then it's really a bit troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

Every time they exchanged a palm strike, Dongfang Yuqing's Qi tried to invade his body and affect his emotions, but it was all blocked by the Dragon Power.

If it were an ordinary Martial Venerable, he would have lost his combat effectiveness long ago.

The Holy Son of the Evil Soul Sect is terrifying to this extent!

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "What other trump cards do you have? Bring them all out at once!"

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, "As you wish!"

With that, he pointed his single hand forward, and a purplish-black fire lotus appeared in his hand.

Undoubtedly, this was also a Spirit Fire.

Moreover, with Lu Xingchen's Soul Power, he could sense that this Spirit Fire was no weaker than his own Fused Spirit Fire.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Your purplish-black Spirit Fire is no weaker than Peng Yu's Bodhi Sacred Fire. What is its name?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuqing was also slightly surprised.

"You've even fought Peng Yu, one of the eight prodigies? Interesting! My Spirit Fire is called Senluo Ghost Fire; I acquired it by chance during a training expedition."

Lu Xingchen continued, "Since your strength is even greater than Peng Yu's, then I have reason to suspect that your Evil Soul Sect has already achieved a Breakthrough to Ninth-Rank. Could the current Sect Master of the Evil Soul Sect be a Martial Saint Expert?"

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, "I apologize, but that is a secret within our Sect, and I cannot disclose it."

Although Dongfang Yuqing did not answer the question, Lu Xingchen still guessed that the Evil Soul Sect's strength had already reached Ninth-Rank.

After this battle, he must report this matter to the Righteous Path Alliance to alert its high-ranking members.

Lu Xingchen grinned.

"If you don't want to say, then so be it. However, relying solely on this Senluo Ghost Fire might still not be enough to defeat me!"

With that, Lu Xingchen summoned his Fused Spirit Fire.

The Qi on his body also ignited with milky-white flames.

Dongfang Yuqing was also startled.

"Your milky-white flames are also of extremely high quality! However, who is stronger and who is weaker, we'll only know after we fight!"

The two once again flew forward and clashed.

After another hundred blows, it was still a stalemate.

Lu Xingchen's eyes were now filled with seriousness as he looked at Dongfang Yuqing.

His strength was no weaker than that of Peng Yu, whom he had fought before.

If not for the Evil Soul Sect being rejected by the Righteous Path, the eight prodigies of the central province would have become the nine prodigies of the central continent!

Ever since obtaining the emperor-grade dragon bone, Lu Xingchen had been invincible in close-quarters combat, but now he was being held off by Dongfang Yuqing.

He was truly excessively powerful!

Dongfang Yuqing was also incredibly shocked and said in a deep voice, "Da Zhuang, your strength is no weaker than Lin Aotian's. Especially your Physical Body power, it's terrifyingly strong. It seems that determining a victor today won't be an easy task."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "My strength isn't just from my Physical Body!"

"Soul Breaking Art!"

Lu Xingchen let out a low roar, and his Soul Power surged out, condensing into a black handprint on his chest, which he then slammed down at Dongfang Yuqing.

"Soul attack Martial Skill! Spirit Realm Great Perfection!"

Dongfang Yuqing was also well-informed and immediately recognized it.

He immediately mobilized his Soul Power, forming a shield around his body.

Lu Xingchen's heart trembled again.

Dongfang Yuqing's Soul Power had also reached Spirit Realm Great Perfection.

Fortunately, with the help of the soul refining pill, even though they were both at Spirit Realm Great Perfection, his Soul Power was still considerably stronger than Dongfang Yuqing's.

The black handprint struck the Soul shield, easily shattering it, but the handprint also dimmed considerably.

The remaining power invaded Dongfang Yuqing's sea of soul, severely wounding him.

Dongfang Yuqing immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura weakened significantly. He was stunned by Lu Xingchen, temporarily losing control of his body.

How could Lu Xingchen give up such a good opportunity?

He activated Flowing Cloud Steps and moved forward again, striking Dongfang Yuqing's chest with a palm.

Dongfang Yuqing was directly blasted backward, spitting out another mouthful of blood in mid-air, and his body slammed into the mountain peak.

But Lu Xingchen showed no joy.

When he delivered that palm strike just now, he felt that the Qi within Dongfang Yuqing's body was automatically protecting its master, absorbing most of the power from his handprint.

This miraculous ability was already no weaker than the emperor-grade dragon bone he had obtained!

Although he was injured, he definitely still had the strength to fight.

This battle was not over yet!

Lu Xingchen stood still, waiting for the smoke to clear.

Ten seconds later, Dongfang Yuqing pulled himself out of the stone wall and flew back in front of Lu Xingchen.

"Hahaha! As expected of a member of the Lingyun Sect, such powerful Soul Power, even I cannot contend with it."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "So, are you ready to die?"

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, "Da Zhuang, to force me to this point, you are certainly worthy of pride. Your strength is already no weaker than the eight prodigies of the central province."

"But this time, I must bring Wang Xiaole back."

With that, Dongfang Yuqing took out a black banner.

The banner had various profound runes on it, and a very strong Soul Power surged from it.

This Soul Power was restless and filled with resentment, possessing extreme aggressiveness.

Lu Xingchen was immediately stunned and said in a deep voice, "A low-grade heaven rank Spiritual Artifact? It's not surprising for you, as the Holy Son of the Evil Soul Sect, to have a heaven-rank spirit tool. However, Dongfang Yuqing, your banner wouldn't happen to be called the Myriad Souls Banner, would it?"
