334: Defeat

Dongfang Yuqing said in a deep voice, “No wonder, no wonder. I was wondering how a peak master of an Eighth-Rank Sect could push me to this point. So it turns out it’s War God His Excellency.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Since you know I am the War God, then you should leave quickly. Otherwise, I will kill you right here!”

Although Dongfang Yuqing was already seriously injured, Lu Xingchen was still very wary of him.

This person’s strength was simply too terrifying; who knew if he had any other trump cards.

He had no enmity with him, so there was no need to fight to the death.

Dongfang Yuqing snorted coldly.

“What if you are the War God? On Tianyuan Continent, strength is king. Titles and status are earned by oneself, not given by others. Everyone knows that you achieved the position of War God not by your own power.”

“If you were truly a Saint, I would definitely turn around and leave without a word. But unfortunately, you are not.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “As expected. Everyone I’ve fought against has been a favored child of heaven, naturally possessing arrogance. The reason I concealed my identity was to guard against villains and avoid being drawn into power struggles. I never intended to use this identity to scare others.”

Dongfang Yuqing clapped his hands and laughed, “Interesting, interesting. Lu Xingchen, your personality is quite to my liking. If I hadn’t come from the Evil Soul Sect, you and I might have become friends.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “It’s not too late to become friends now. As long as you let me take Wang Xiaole.”

Dongfang Yuqing said in a deep voice, “I’m afraid not. Lu Xingchen, let me remind you, don’t trust the Human Emperor Hall and the Righteous Path Alliance too much. Not everything they do is beyond reproach. I won’t watch Wang Xiaole jump into a fire pit.”

Lu Xingchen sighed lightly and said in a deep voice, “You are already seriously injured, do you still want to fight me?”

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, “I haven’t used my full strength yet. War God His Excellency, to be able to push me to this point, you can already be proud!”

“Evil Soul Transformation!”

With a low shout from Dongfang Yuqing, an extremely cold aura appeared on his body, and his Battle Qi intensity increased by several times.

The pressure he now exerted on Lu Xingchen was no less than that of Li Cheng, the Elder of the Thunder Prison Sect, back then.

Lu Xingchen’s heart sank, and he said in a deep voice, “Evil Soul Transformation? What terrifying power, even stronger than my ‘Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit’!”

Dongfang Yuqing grinned, “So, War God His Excellency, are you going to admit defeat?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “A secret art with such a high degree of enhancement will never last too long. Dongfang Yuqing, hit me first before you say anything!”

“Word Spirit, Sword Control!”

With that, Lu Xingchen took out his shadow sword, and five sword sheaths flew in five different directions.

Dongfang Yuqing grinned, “Since you’re still not convinced, I’ll beat you until you are!”

With that, he held the evil god sword and charged towards Lu Xingchen, thrusting out a sword.

Lu Xingchen immediately activated the shadow sword’s displacement skill, teleporting behind Dongfang Yuqing and thrusting out a sword.

Both of them were greatly surprised.

Dongfang Yuqing was shocked that Lu Xingchen could avoid his attack.

Lu Xingchen was shocked that his immortal slaying sword couldn’t break through Dongfang Yuqing’s defense.

After activating “Evil Soul Transformation,” Dongfang Yuqing’s body swelled by a circle, and gray Qi currents surged around him, blocking Lu Xingchen’s immortal slaying sword.

Lu Xingchen couldn’t help but curse.

“Damn it, if I can’t even break his defense, what the hell am I fighting for?!”

Dongfang Yuqing said in a deep voice, “As expected of the Human Race War God, this bizarre teleportation skill is really troublesome!”

With that, he turned around and continued to thrust a sword at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen once again activated the shadow sword’s displacement skill, teleporting to the other side.

Dongfang Yuqing said in a deep voice, “Lu Xingchen, I’ve already figured out your displacement pattern. You can only teleport to where those black sword sheaths appear, right?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “It’s not hard to see through, but it’s not easy to break this move.”

Dongfang Yuqing also smiled slightly.

“If you can recognize it, you can break it!”

Dongfang Yuqing held his sword with both hands, fully activating his Battle Qi, and conjured six Battle Qi Sword Blades, which shot out towards Lu Xingchen’s main body and the directions of the five shadow swords.

Li Cheng had also used this move when he fought Lu Xingchen before, but Li Cheng’s strength was insufficient, and the dispersed power couldn’t break through Lu Xingchen’s defense.

But Dongfang Yuqing could.

From the moment Dongfang Yuqing conjured the Battle Qi Sword Blades to attacking Lu Xingchen, it only took five seconds. He didn’t have time to use a Heaven Rank Martial Skill and could only meet the enemy with “Void-Shattering Slash.”

The immortal slaying sword and Dongfang Yuqing’s gray Battle Qi Sword Blades clashed, and Lu Xingchen was directly blasted backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air, and the immortal slaying sword also flew out of his hand.

Dongfang Yuqing, not one to let up, continued to fly towards Lu Xingchen, thrusting a sword at his chest.

Lu Xingchen’s body had just embedded itself into the mountain peak when Dongfang Yuqing’s evil god sword had already reached his chest.

But the evil god sword only stopped at his chest and did not stab in.

“Why don’t you stab?”

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice.

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, retracted the evil god sword, and placed it within the Blade Edge.

“You and I have no enmity, there’s no need to kill. Moreover, you are the Human Race War God; killing you would be to cut off the Human Race’s Luck. I, Dongfang Yuqing, am not such an ignorant person.”

“My only goal is to take Wang Xiaole away. I’m letting you go this time, and I hope you can form a good relationship with our Evil Soul Sect. In the future, don’t believe the false words of the Righteous Path Alliance anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned.

People in Zhongzhou all said that Evil Soul Sect Disciples committed all kinds of evil and were bloodthirsty, yet this Dongfang Yuqing could not only precisely control his power but also retained his conscience.

Had he really misunderstood them?

Was the Evil Soul Sect not an evil Sect?

Lu Xingchen struggled to get up from the mountain peak and said in a deep voice, “I am temporarily no match for you, so only you can take Wang Xiaole. But, the next time we meet, I will definitely defeat you!”

Dongfang Yuqing chuckled, “Then you’ll have to work hard! In the days to come, not only will you be improving, but I will also continue to Cultivate diligently.”

With that, Dongfang Yuqing said no more and turned to walk into the cave.

Lu Xingchen shouted loudly, “Wait a moment!”

Dongfang Yuqing turned his head and said with a smile, “Is there anything else?”

Lu Xingchen said softly, “Regarding my identity, I ask Brother Dongfang to keep it a secret for me. I don’t want it exposed so soon.”

Lu Xingchen’s way of addressing Dongfang Yuqing had changed from calling him by his full name to “Brother Dongfang,” which was enough to show the shift in his attitude towards Dongfang Yuqing.

In his heart, he had initially recognized this Saint of the Evil Soul Sect.

“A small matter!” Dongfang Yuqing waved his hand and walked into the cave.
