Chapter 289: One-on-One Combat

“Fellow Daoist Wu Feng, it’s not that the Dou Xing Sect doesn’t welcome you; it’s just that your situation is too special for us to help.”

The Sect Master of Dou Xing Sect had a bittersweet look on his face, afraid to let Wu Feng Dao Ren in.

“Fellow Daoist Nie, the Dou Xing Sect’s Formation, the Douzhuan Xingyi, has the effect of shielding the Heavenly Mechanism. If you let me enter, Lu Ye definitely won’t find me. The Dou Xing Sect’s great kindness will be engraved in my heart forever!” Wu Feng Dao Ren’s face was slightly grim.

As the Supreme Elder of the Invincible Sword Sect, he was someone with extraordinary power, once revered by many.

But now, he was like a rat scurrying across the street. While he wasn’t at the level of being outright hunted down, no one wanted such a potentially plague-ridden rat in their home!

This wasn’t a joke; one wrong move could lead to complete annihilation. Who would take that gamble?

Even though Nie Xinghe had been close to Wu Feng Dao Ren in the past, that was when the Invincible Sword Sect was strong.

Now, sorry, I’m the Sect Master!

“Fellow Daoist Nie, are you really this heartless?” Wu Feng Dao Ren said with a pained expression.

Nie Xinghe sighed.

“Fine! Today I will sever ties with you! From now on, we will part ways, never to entangle again!”

Wu Feng Dao Ren, angered, sliced his own sleeve with his sword energy.

He thought he and Nie Xinghe were close friends; he wasn’t asking Nie Xinghe to fight Lu Ye, just to let him hide in the Douzhuan Xingyi Formation for a bit.

But even that was a no-go.

It was truly disheartening.

Nie Xinghe’s eyes reflected helplessness. “Fellow Daoist, you should understand my position instead of forcing me like this. If you can’t understand that, then let’s end it today!”

Nie Xinghe’s sleeve also ripped.

He had his own difficulties; Wu Feng Dao Ren should understand that this was about the safety of a sect—how could he let Wu Feng Dao Ren in?

“Fine! Fine! Fine!”

Wu Feng Dao Ren fumed.

How could he have friends like this? When Lu Ye, that damned guy, ascended, and the Invincible Sword Sect reformed, he would definitely seek an explanation for today’s incident.

Suddenly, a wave of insane hunger surged within him, multiplying like bacteria.

Wu Feng Dao Ren’s eyes turned blood-red.

In the horrified gaze of everyone from the Dou Xing Sect, Wu Feng Dao Ren turned and looked towards Lu Ye, over twenty thousand miles away.

A perfectly normal person.

In the blink of an eye, his eyes were blood-red.

The Dou Xing Sect had never joined in the assault against Lu Ye; they had only heard rumors of Lu Ye’s bizarre abilities that could drive people to madness.

And now, Wu Feng Dao Ren was visibly transforming in front of all their eyes, his eyes turning blood-red.

With a furious roar, he charged towards Lu Ye.

This scene shocked the people of Dou Xing Sect, causing them to retreat in fright.

This wasn’t the Infinite Celestial Lord, so how is this even possible?

Way too terrifying!

Lu Ye’s figure retreated, his expression growing excited.

This time, he didn’t have to worry about being swarmed.

One Heaven and Earth Realm!

Full power!

Two figures turned into streaks of light, darting through the sky.

Wu Feng Dao Ren was noticeably faster.

“Kill!”

The two figures rapidly closed the distance.

Lu Ye took a step forward, his aura surging, a second step, his aura surged further, three steps, four steps…

After nine consecutive steps, Wu Feng Dao Ren was very close now, and suddenly, Lu Ye’s aura surged once more.

From the Spirit Communication Realm, he had directly reached the terrifying Realm of Domain Third Layer!

The power of the Nine Tribulations Undying Body was also pushed to its limits.

Boundless True Essence surged wildly.

Suddenly, Lu Ye spun around.

The Stone Sword buzzed, slicing down ferociously, the supreme sword intent unleashed to the max.

“Ding!”

Wu Feng Dao Ren wielded a Heavy Sword. Though he was under the influence of the Aroma of Achievement in Dao, it didn’t mean he was completely unconscious.

For instance, in this very moment, as Lu Ye attacked, he would unleash all his strength to try to kill Lu Ye and then devour him!

The Stone Sword collided with the Heavy Sword, the two powers clashing with all their might.

With a flash of fire, the Heavy Sword slid along the Stone Sword, and Lu Ye forced the strength of the Heavy Sword aside, dodging its strike.

The Heavy Sword missed, coming to a halt, while Wu Feng Dao Ren gripped the sword hilt tightly, his muscles surging with strength as he aimed a devastating strike at Lu Ye.

“Boom!”

The Stone Sword was knocked aside at a terrifying angle.

Lu Ye’s arms burst with flesh, his figure propelled away as brutal strength coursed through him.

“Roar!”

Wu Feng Dao Ren howled.

Wielding a massive black sword, his speed was shocking.

He swung down with a vertical chop.

That strike seemed to split heaven and earth in two.

Impossible to block!

Lu Ye thought this as the sheer might of that strike made it clear that if he dared to face it head-on, he would be turned into a mist of blood.

His figure suddenly turned into an afterimage, the sword light grazing past him.

Just as the sword light flew by, Wu Feng Dao Ren’s elbow came crashing down.

Lu Ye raised his knee to counter.

“Boom!”

Lu Ye shot upward, his knee shattering and then instantly recovering.

“Roar!”

Huge streams of sword light raced toward Lu Ye.

The two figures transformed into streaks of light, and Lu Ye flickered continuously, dodging the sword lights.

Just when Wu Feng Dao Ren approached, suddenly, six versions of Lu Ye appeared around him, surrounding him in an instant.

Six streams of sword energy erupted simultaneously.

“Boom!”

Wu Feng Dao Ren slammed his Heavy Sword downward.

With a resounding boom, the six incoming streams of sword light shattered simultaneously.

The broken sword light left tiny wounds on Wu Feng Dao Ren.

“Roar!”

Giant sword lights split the sky, each one ripping through the surroundings as they crazily slashed in all directions.

Lu Ye’s escape speed was rapid, his movements extremely agile, but the sword lights were even faster.

With no way to dodge, another violent collision ensued.

The Heavy Sword and the Stone Sword crashed together, creating a small gap in the Heavy Sword, while the Stone Sword remained unscathed.

Lu Ye’s scalp tingled.

He couldn’t control his body at all.

The force behind his opponent’s Heavy Sword was simply earth-shattering, especially compared to his current strength.

Wu Feng Dao Ren surged forward again.

This time, he raised his Heavy Sword high, and Lu Ye could clearly feel that this strike had him completely locked on.

Lu Ye let out a low growl.

The Stone Sword vanished, replaced by his tight fist.

No choice; the gap was just too wide. Even if his sword intent was terrifying, against a giant of the Heaven and Earth Realm, it simply wasn’t enough.

It all came down to his fist.

Celestial Lord Fist!

Titanic sword light raged down.

The void split with countless tiny cracks.

At that moment, Lu Ye was fully focused; his arms turned blood-red, every muscle in his body taut.

His Heart pounded like a drum.

One punch!

Celestial Lord Fist!
