Within a forest in the forbidden Myriad Bone Forest.
“Strange, when did Sir leave? Second Master, Third Master, did you notice anything?” asked Shan Yao.
Tang Hongzhi and Lian Caijun shook their heads in response to Shan Yao’s question, indicating that they hadn’t noticed when Lu Yuan’s clone had left.
As they were approaching the forbidden area, the Myriad Bone Forest, they decided to take a break in the nearby mountain range and wait for the forbidden area to open before entering.
This was because the outer area of the forbidden land was filled with dangers, despite them being Core Formation Stage cultivators.
They were not the only Core Formation Stage cultivators in the periphery of the forbidden area.
The Yue Dynasty was able to exist in the Full Moon Mountain Range for so long, partly due to the support of the Upper Realm sects, but also due to there were many cultivators worshiped in the Yue Dynasty.
With the empire’s luck blessing these cultivators, they could often increase their grades significantly.
Even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could temporarily increase their cultivation to the Core Formation Stage cultivation with the help of the empire’s luck.
Not to mention those cultivators who were already at the Core Formation Stage.
Therefore, Tang Hongzhi and his companions felt it was necessary to be cautious during their trip to the forbidden area, the Myriad Bone Forest.
The reason for Lu Yuan’s departure was very simple. When Bai Dafei arrived at Moon Mountain Pass, Lu Yuan had already placed a tracking magic item on him.
As Lu Yuan approached the edge of Myriad Bone Forest, he quickly sensed Bai Dafei’s situation, but then also sensed that Bai Dafei was being chased by someone.
Without much explanation to Tang Hongzhi and the others, Lu Yuan rushed over to help Bai Dafei.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan’s backup arrived in time.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan and Bi Fang had a brief stalemate but eventually decided not to continue probing each other.
Bi Fang believed that even if they encountered a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator with the help of other Heavenly Devils, they could still escape.
Although Lu Yuan was a bit troublesome, he shouldn’t pose too much of a threat to them.
Bi Fang planned to delay Lu Yuan until the other Heavenly Devils arrived, after which they should be able to get rid of him easily.
Regarding Bai Dafei, Bi Fang considered him a crippled cultivator with a damaged spiritual root who didn’t require their attention.
Thinking of this, the flame around Bi Fang began to rise at a visible speed.
Seeing that the Bi Fang seemed to be getting serious, the green flame began to appear around Lu Yuan’s body.
Bi Fang had seen this green flame before in the battle between Bai Dafei and Chen Yan.
In hindsight, he realized that Bai Dafei’s pills that could ignite the green flame must have been made by this person.
Moreover, Bi Fang could sense two other divine abilities’ fluctuations among the green flame.
Within the rising green flame, there was also golden quicksand and a five-element astral wind.
Taking into account Lu Yuan’s Nine Guard Return to Origin Array, it appeared that this person had mastered several unique abilities.
Bi Fang was puzzled by where this guy had emerged from, and he wondered why he couldn’t sense any luck on him.
Such capabilities indicated that he couldn’t be an ordinary person.
However, although Bi Fang was very surprised by Lu Yuan’s actions, he was just surprised.
Facing Lu Yuan, who was obviously not simple, the Bi Fang decided to get serious.
Four smaller Flame Feather Swords flew out of his storage bag.
These Flame Feather Swords and the Flame Feather Sword in his hand were actually mother-child swords.
Bi Fang waved his hand, and a mother sword and four children swords flew towards Lu Yuan.
These five swords flew through the air and transformed into astonishing flaming birds that swept toward Lu Yuan.
It was different from the previous situation where only the mother sword was unsheathed.
This time, all five Flame Feather Swords appeared together, seemingly creating a special connection.
The five swords flew around the Bi Fang and then intertwined with each other until they formed a massive Bi Fang phantom.
The scarlet flame emanating from the phantom turned the entire sky red, resembling a burning cloud.
“Go!” Bi Fang commanded, directing the massive flaming creature toward Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan responded by unleashing his divine ability.
Seeing that the Nine Guard Return to Origin Array alone was insufficient to withstand Bi Fang’s attack, he activated his Gilded Sand and Formless Squall abilities.
Under the enhancement of these two divine abilities, the Nine Guard Return to Origin Array around Lu Yuan’s body began to change.
The patterns of the black tortoise on the barrier began to glow with golden light, interweaving between the black tortoise’s patterns.
Not only that, but a gust of five-element astral wind also fused into the Nine Guard Return to Origin Array.
A constantly rotating green-gold spiritual energy barrier appeared beside Lu Yuan.
The flaming Bi Fang soared through the sky and dove toward Lu Yuan like a falling meteorite.
Boom!
The flaming Bi Fang violently collided with Lu Yuan’s Nine Guard Return to Origin Array.
A large number of sparks began to burst out from the collision between the two parties.
The Bi Fang kept controlling the flame Bi Fang, trying to directly break through Lu Yuan’s spiritual energy barrier.
As the Bi Fang increased his strength, cracks slowly began to appear on Lu Yuan’s Nine Guard Return to Origin Array.
Seeing this scene, the corners of the mouth under Bi Fang’s mask curled up slightly.
No matter how hard a turtle shell was, it would always reveal flaws in the face of absolute power!
Lu Yuan looked at the flame Bi Fang that was about to break through his defense and frowned slightly.
He did not expect that his Nine Guard Return to Origin Array could not even withstand a single attack from the Bi Fang.
Who was this guy in front of him?
Were cultivators from the Upper Realm all this terrifying?
Pa…
After a moment of stalemate, the Nine Guard Return to Origin Array seemed to have reached its limit.
Cracks appeared on the barrier where it collided with the flame Bi Fang.
Then, the crack began to expand continuously and finally spread to the entire defensive array.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the sturdy Nine Guard Return to Origin Array shattered in an instant.
Bi Fang, formed by five Flame Feather Swords, charged directly at Lu Yuan.
Seeing Lu Yuan standing motionless, Bi Fang thought that he must have run out of options.
However, when Bi Fang saw Lu Yuan wielding a swordsmanship, the smile on his face froze in an instant.
This was because he felt an incomparably sharp sword intent from Lu Yuan’s body at this moment.
This guy wasn’t a spell cultivator?
Why was there such a terrifying sword intent?
As Lu Yuan’s aura suddenly changed, Bi Fang was filled with shock.
Lu Yuan gazed at the flame Bi Fang that was attacking him and said calmly, “If that’s all you’ve got, then this game seems to be over.”
Divine ability, One Qi Sword Control Technique!
Lu Yuan swung the Qingyun Sword in his hand.
In the next second, the Sword Qi on the sword’s edge left the blade and flew toward the huge flame Bi Fang in front of him..
