Chapter 513: Defend with All Your Might

The other side helping An Li definitely has something to gain.

Just look at how cruelly they treated the Saintess; it’s clear that An Li is seen as nothing more than a tool by the Dark Clan.

So, it can’t be for the sake of friendship.

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes.

In other words, what the Dark Clan wants is something they’ll only receive after An Li succeeds.

If An Li succeeds, it means he’s left with just one life—one life barely hanging on.

Only after he’s brought to this kind of end will the Dark Clan benefit, and that benefit will fall right on his shoulders.

Lu Ye understood!

The eighth kind of poison, which is the last one An Li used, must be closely related to the Dark Clan. When this poison erupts, it will benefit them.

This benefit could even be greater than when the Dark Clan’s son-in-law becomes a Saint?

Maybe not, the key is that the Dark Clan is a bunch of lunatics.

He didn’t know much about the Dark Clan, but they definitely didn’t expect him to show up in the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse. Having a masquerade mask, could he pretend to be one of those Dark Clan members?

Lu Ye felt a little tempted.

“What’s his strength? Where is he?” Lu Ye asked.

“Northeast direction, about a hundred thousand miles away. Strength is in the Great Dao Realm.”

Great Dao Realm.

Lu Ye frowned. After the punch he just threw, he no longer felt overly cautious about the Great Dao Realm.

What’s the point of the Great Dao Realm? They still can’t withstand a single punch from him.

But capturing a strong person from the Great Dao Realm…

Let’s give it a shot!

Lu Ye dashed toward the Dark Clan stronghold.

An Fengyuan is the pride of the Dark Clan, already in the Great Dao Realm. Calling him pride seems a bit of a stretch; he’s more of a mid-tier guy, from the previous generation’s elite.

Like the strong figures of the Dark Clan also showing up in the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse to snatch resources.

However, the Dark Clan’s royal Quasi-Emperor had gone deeper into the location.

He was in the Edge Zone, snatching resources suitable for Great Dao Realm cultivation.

Recently, the atmosphere within the Dark Clan had been off, which An Fengyuan sensed, but he didn’t know what was happening—it seemed related to the captured Saintess An Li.

But being mid-tier, he didn’t really know what was going on.

“This Heavenly Corpse’s laws are really annoying,” An Fengyuan grumbled.

He had just engaged in battle with a zombie in the Great Dao Realm and not only failed to secure treasure but almost lost his own life.

His strength was greatly suppressed, only allowing him to bring forth seventy percent of his power.

Forget it, let’s recover first and wait for the right moment.

Lu Ye concealed his aura with all his might, and An Fengyuan didn’t sense a thing.

The Sky Veil Technique is incredibly powerful for hiding oneself.

“There’s only him nearby, right?”

“Yes!”

Lu Ye’s Primordial Force gathered in his arm.

All the energy circulated within him. Lu Ye was already within a hundred miles of An Fengyuan, and the guy was completely oblivious.

Suddenly, Lu Ye charged forward.

A hundred miles disappeared in an instant.

An Fengyuan was startled, his heart sank, but after all, he was in the Great Dao Realm, so his reaction speed was on point.

Suddenly, four bony claws appeared behind him, converging to form a powerful bony shield to meet Lu Ye’s punch.

It was clear he still underestimated the force of that punch.

The bony shield shattered like a bug’s shell as Lu Ye’s fist smashed right in the center.

“Crack crack crack…”

Boom!

An Fengyuan felt an unmatched power erupting from Lu Ye’s fist, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami rising.

The shield he formed broke apart on the spot.

A massive amount of black mist surged out, and An Fengyuan was sent flying into the ground, transformed into a bug-like state.

Lu Ye’s body followed closely behind.

Not killing him.

Because Lu Ye pulled back some power, yet An Fengyuan looked like a piece of cracked pottery.

As An Fengyuan attempted to escape, a second punch came crashing down.

The second punch, again a Celestial Lord Fist.

Lu Ye wasn’t a one-punch hero; actually, this Celestial Lord Fist technique would apply to both fist and palm when he returned to the Celestial Lord Realm.

Now it wasn’t limited to just one time; it all depended on his internal Primordial Force.

Down came the second punch.

From above to below.

“Boom!”

This punch sent both the man and bug straight into the earth.

Unknown how deep they went.

The bug was completely smashed, its body and shell shattered.

Black blood sprayed everywhere, a scene of extreme violence.

This blow didn’t kill An Fengyuan, but his nascent soul was shattered, leaving him with minimal resistance.

Lu Ye grabbed An Fengyuan’s head.

The soul search began in an instant.

An Fengyuan’s soul twisted in agony under the soul search technique, pain reaching its peak.

Lu Ye was about to probe his memories when suddenly, an eye opened within An Fengyuan’s soul.

A pitch-black eye stared intently at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye’s heart raced, sensing danger, and hastily withdrew his consciousness.

An invisible force erupted from An Fengyuan’s soul, like a serpent invading Lu Ye’s consciousness. He quickly retracted his consciousness, but still, a significant part of it was silently extinguished.

Similarly, An Fengyuan’s soul disappeared.

Lu Ye’s soul was injured, his complexion pale.

What kind of secret is so guarded? Even the soul is so well protected?

Lu Ye felt even more curious.

But An Fengyuan couldn’t be replaced.

“Help me search for another Dark Clan member,” Lu Ye said.

“Alright!”

The Darkness Origin actively performed its radar function.

Soon enough, a second target was found, but this one was a bit farther away.

Lu Ye wasn’t rushed; while slaughtering zombies, he moved closer to the Dark Clan member.

According to hints from the Darkness Origin, An Li had already returned to the Dark Clan.

However, the Dark Clan was now protecting An Li closely; even the Darkness Origin couldn’t determine what her situation currently was.

Yet another blood-soaked slaughter ensued.

Lu Ye’s physical body continued to strengthen.

His soul injury had healed.

He was now very close to the second Dark Clan member, who was merely in the Shattering Realm.

Lu Ye stealthily approached.

Following closely behind this Dark Clan member, he observed every little move, planning to disguise himself accordingly.

When Lu Ye felt that he had learned just enough, he made his presence known.

Just a Shattering Realm opponent, there was no need for a sneak attack; he could take him out directly.

So conversing with the guy wouldn’t matter.

Lu Ye’s sudden appearance startled An Yun, as he hadn’t sensed Lu Ye’s aura at all.

Realizing Lu Ye was at the Void Realm, he breathed a little easier.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist!”

Lu Ye smiled and cupped his hands in a greeting.

An Yun frowned, “What do you want?”

Facing a Void Realm opponent, he maintained a superior stance because, in the cultivation world, most of the time, strength equated to status.

Of course, there are exceptions for the sycophants!
