Chapter 228 Battle Across Realms
Lu Zhanxing, the Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect, was a little uneasy.
Luan Shijian had been dispatched for a few days. According to Lu Zhanxing’s expectations, he should have returned two days ago.
Even after facing some difficulties, he shouldn’t have taken this long.
‘Luan Shijian is already at the peak of the body smelting realm. Even if someone from the Yuelan Sect forcibly breaks through to the body smelting realm, they are definitely not his opponent.’
Lu Zhanxing thought to himself. ‘But, why hasn’t he brought back any news yet?’
Lu Zhanxing paced back and forth in the room.
He had been in State Jifeng for some time, but he still had no clues about the Demon Beast Scroll and Old Man Wan Ye.
‘Could it be…!
Suddenly, Lu Zhanxing stopped.
He thought of a possibility. ‘Could it be that the people from the Source Sect have returned from State Wansheng?’
The more Lu Zhanxing thought about it, the more he felt that this was likely.
“That should be the case… The Yuelan Sect and the Source Sect of State Feiyun have already joined forces, so it is extremely likely that the Source Sect of State Wansheng will help them…’
Lu Zhanxing knew very well that if this was the case, Luan Shijian might return in failure.
Lu Zhanxing felt more at ease after thinking of this.
In his opinion, the Source Sect’s dao realm masters from State Wansheng might be quite strong, but they definitely couldn’t kill Luan Shijian.
‘Their sect master in the astral qi realm will definitely not come…’
Lu Zhanxing had a pondering look in his eyes. ‘In State Wansheng, they are still facing a lot of trouble. Sect Master Xin Andao will definitely not be able to make himself free. At most, he will send two to three body smelting realm masters…’
‘Source Sect…’ A hint of coldness appeared in Lu Zhanxing’s eyes. ‘After obtaining the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token, I will definitely make you submit when I return to State Wansheng.’
Just when Lu Zhanxing was thinking about the future, he suddenly felt the auras of four dao realm masters approaching.
‘Four dao realm masters?’
Lu Zhanxing first looked puzzled.
The spiritual energy in the seventeen states of the Abyss North was thin, so it was difficult to find a native dao realm master, let alone four. ‘Let’s go and take a look.’
Although Lu Zhanxing was cautious, he did not panic.
He was an astral qi realm master, so he was not afraid at all when facing four body smelting realm masters.
Lu Zhanxing walked out of the room.
The place they were currently staying at was the mansion of a county city family. They had taken over it by force and made it the temporary base camp of the Jade Night Sect. The disciples of the Jade Night Sect were very satisfied with their current living environment.
They were all considered top-level experts here, so they were not under any pressure to survive. Ordinary martial artists and masters could only look up to them.
Although Lu Zhanxing felt that there was something wrong with the change in attitude of the disciples, he did not reprimand them. He planned to curb their lax attitude after returning to State Wansheng.
Outside the mansion.
Xu Ning, Wan Ye, Teng Yunkong, and Gu Man had already arrived outside the temporary residence of the Jade Night Sect. “This is the main camp of the Jade Night Sect all right.”
Wan Ye said.
They could sense that in this large mansion, there were several dao realm masters and more than 20 high level void realm martial artists.
“The Jade Night Sect must have sent more than half of their disciples to go on their mission, leaving only a small portion of their disciples here. They are probably on standby at all times.”
Teng Yunkong said. “When we were in State Wansheng, we had some feud with the Jade Night Sect. If we can get rid of Lu Zhanxing today, we can eliminate a lot of trouble in the future.”
Gu Man was the one who spoke.
As a member of State Wansheng’s Source Sect, they were also a little worried that if Lu Zhanxing really obtained the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token, he would be ruthless to his former competitors.
This time, Gu Man and Teng Yunkong returned to the land in the Abyss North not only to protect the Source Sect in State Feiyun, but to also try their best to disturb the people of the Jade Night Sect from obtaining the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token.
Xu Ning didn’t say anything. He already could sense the auras of the several dao realm masters approaching.
He noticed them, but they also noticed him.
“Xu Ning, are you ready to fight?” Wan Ye glanced at Xu Ning. Xu Ning was the strongest of the four, so this operation was led by Xu Ning. “Ready.”
Xu Ning gave an affirmative answer. When he just advanced to the dao realm and returned to the land in the Abyss North from the golden-eyed demon ape’s island, Xu Ning initially did not plan to fight the Jade Night Sect to the death.
In the beginning, he just wanted to show some strength and make the Jade Night Sect retreat. However, Lu Zhanxing’s attempt to destroy the Yuelan Sect completely crossed Xu Ning’s bottom line.
Now that he had killed Luan Shijian, both sides were in an irreconcilable situation.
“When we fight later, I will deal with Lu Zhanxing. The three of you shall deal with the other four body smelting realm masters.”
Xu Ning said to the three of them.
“Okay.”
The three of them nodded.
“Then let’s strike first.”
Xu Ning was full of fighting spirit. Whoosh!
Xu Ning activated the Wind Smoke Gourd, releasing the gray fog and wind smoke from it, enveloping most of the mansion.
Lu Zhanxing and the other four elders that hurried over were instantly enveloped.
“Not good! They are enemies!”
Lu Zhanxing and the others wanted to investigate the intruders, but once the gray fog was released, they realized that their enemies had come.
“Get out of this gray fog!”
Lu Zhanxing quickly said to the four elders next to him.
After being surrounded by the gray fog, Lu Zhanxing felt a strong sense of danger.
Whoosh!
As soon as Lu Zhanxing finished speaking, a blade shadow came towards him.
He reacted instantly and dodged the attack.
‘As expected of a second stage dao realm, his reaction speed is indeed fast!’
Xu Ning was the one who attacked.
If his target was a body smelting realm master, even if he couldn’t kill him in one blow, he would be seriously injured with that attack. But against an astral qi realm master, he was unharmed. ‘Where did this dao realm master come from?’
Lu Zhanxing was full of questions, but soon he felt two familiar auras.
‘It’s Gu Man and Teng Yunkong from the Source Sect! There are people from the Source Sect among these four people!’
Lu Zhanxing also realized.
He couldn’t manage to guess Xu Ning and Wan Ye’s identities.
Otherwise, if he knew that Old Man Wan Ye was in front of him, he would definitely attack Wan Ye first.
“Lure the enemies away, don’t let the disciples of the sect get hurt!”
Lu Zhanxing secretly transmitted it to three elders.
Afterwards, he himself rushed out of the county city and did not fight back immediately.
There were still many high level void realm disciples in the mansion. If they were affected, it would seriously damage the foundation of the Jade Night Sect.
‘Should I go outside the city as well?’
Xu Ning also noticed Lu Zhanxing’s intentions and followed behind him closely.
Xu Ning also hoped to fight outside the city. He had planned to lure Lu Zhanxing outside the city if he couldn’t end the fight quickly
Otherwise, their fight would definitely affect some innocent people in the city. In order to prevent the disciples of the Jade Night Sect from getting injured, Lu Zhanxing took the initiative to leave the city, which saved Xu Ning a lot of trouble.
Lu Zhanxing turned into a shadow and quickly left.
Xu Ning controlled the Wind Smoke Gourd and covered himself with the gray fog. His speed was not much slower.
“The speed of an astral qi realm master is indeed fast. The gray fog and wind smoke can no longer cover him.’ Xu Ning could at most activate the gray fog spanning to a few hundred meters around him, but this would consume a lot of energy.
‘This gray fog should be activated by a secret treasure…’
Lu Zhanxing was relieved after taking Xu Ning away from the disciples.
He was afraid that Xu Ning would abandon his goal of killing him and slaughter the disciples of the Jade Night Sect.
‘A secret treasure…!
Lu Zhanxing’s eyes showed a hint of greed.
A secret treasure was a rare treasure even in State Wansheng, but he had encountered one here.
‘If I can obtain this treasure, then even if I don’t obtain the Demon Beast Scroll and the sect token, this trip will be worth it…’
Lu Zhanxing’s mind was active. He was already preparing to counterattack. “Who are you?! Why are you involved with the Source Sect? Are you a helper they invited from State Wansheng?”
After leaving the city, Lu Zhanxing suddenly turned around and held an ice crystal spear in his hand.
Xu Ning ignored him. After seeing Lu Zhanxing stand still, he walked forward with the gray fog.
Lu Zhanxing sneered. He raised the ice crystal spear in his hand and slashed down fiercely.
The tip of the spear slammed into the ground. A huge force immediately spread out and broke the ground.
A light blue translucent and domineering force slashed into the gray fog.
‘This is… astral qi!’
Xu Ning also noticed the danger and quickly dodged.
Swoosh!
The domineering astral qi cut off the gray fog, revealing Xu Ning’s position.
“Forget it, I don’t care who you are. I just want to kill you and obtain your secret treasure!”
After Xu Ning showed up, Lu Zhanxing stepped on the tip of his toes and stabbed forward with his spear.
‘Is this the pressure from an astral qi realm master?’
Xu Ning quickly activated the Wind Smoke Gourd and closed the gray fog. But Lu Zhanxing’s movements were too fast. Before Xu Ning could hide in the gray fog again, Lu Zhanxing’s spear had already reached Xu Ning
Xu Ning activated the power of the dao realm in his body and slashed the Cyan Wolf Knife, knocking the tip of Lu Zhanxing’s spear away.
Immediately after, the gray fog and wind smoke closed up, and Xu Ning’s figure disappeared again, with Lu Zhanxing also enveloped.
“Huh?!”
The moment Lu Zhanxing’s spear collided with the Cyan Wolf Knife, he felt a violent aura.
The violent aura even shook his mind.
‘There is something wrong with that dao weapon!’
Lu Zhanxing noticed the uniqueness of the Cyan Wolf Knife.
“This is unbelievable. This person is only a body smelting realm master and yet, he has a secret treasure and a dao weapon with special effects. If I defeat him, the rewards will be too great!
Lu Zhanxing was excited. “The difference between the dao realm is still very obvious…’
Xu Ning, who was hidden in the gray fog, observed Lu Zhanxing.
If it weren’t for his strong foundation of six attribute seeds, he would have been injured in that exchange just now.
‘Fortunately, I haven’t revealed the trump card of the gray fog, so I still have a chance to defeat him!’
Until now, Xu Ning remained calm, looking for the best opportunity to strike.
