At the same time, more than a dozen Black-rank Demon Extermination Generals activated their arrays, which were enough to defend against late-stage Rune Seed Realm experts’ attacks.
However, the Blade in just a moment destroyed their defensive Rune Seeds, proving that its power had undoubtedly reached the peak of the Rune Seed Realm.
Facing such a formidable power, no one on the eighteen warships could stop it. Even Lu Yun, who had demonstrated his strongest combat strength in front of them, had barely reached the late-stage Rune Seed Realm.
This level of combat strength, although already considered top-tier in the Far Suppression Legion, was still incapable of dealing with the upcoming crisis. Thinking about this, Fang Hui closed his eyes, preparing to await the arrival of death.
Because of his full-force activation of the array, when the array was broken, he suffered a strong backlash and had no combat power at all.
There was nothing he could do but quietly wait for death.
“I’m only half a step away from Condensing Rune Seeds; I refuse to fall like this!”
Qing Hou struggled to stand, but his heavily injured body couldn’t resist the oppressive force of the unparalleled Blade.
As the Blade broke through the defensive array, the full extent of its power was about to be unleashed upon the warship, when a flash of purple light suddenly burst into the sky.
Within that light, a figure in black armor radiated a powerful aura, nearly suffocating the heavily injured Qing Hou and the others.
“Heavenly Lion Shaking the Sky!”
With a furious roar, Lu Yun unleashed a terrifying golden Heavenly Lion, hurtling toward the three descending Blades.
Boom!
Clouds rolled, brilliant light flashed, the Blades shattered, and a tsunami-like terrifying ripple spread, while Lu Yun’s figure was also forced back by the shock.
However, his sharp aura still soared to the peak, as if blocking this desperate Blade was nothing more than a warm-up for him.
“You finally came out!”
Seeing Lu Yun appear in black armor, Ye Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
No matter what, their lives were temporarily saved.
At the same time, he immediately took out a pill surrounded by golden halos and swallowed it, recovering from his injuries.
He knew that even if Lu Yun could deal with the terrifying Blade, the crisis was far from over.
As expected, just after he swallowed the pill, streaks of light tore through the sky in the distance, quickly approaching.
Ye Xuan, Qing Hou, and the others couldn’t help but change their expressions.
Their fears had come true.
“You all focus on recovering. Leave these people to me,” said Lu Yun with an unparalleled confidence that made everyone feel at ease.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Yun rose from the warship, reaching the depths of the sky in an instant, looking down on the approaching lights.
-Three Rune Seed Realm, ten Golden Body Realm, no wonder you dare to ambush here.”
-Kill!” With a cold command from Li Quanshou, the twelve people behind him simultaneously launched their ultimate moves and weapons, attacking Lu Yun.
As Lu Yun’s eyes flickered with divine light, a touch of extreme coldness spread: “Unfortunately, you’ve encountered me.”
As soon as the words fell, the Azure Cloud Dragon Scale Saber suddenly appeared in his hand, with surges of thunder radiating from it, emitting an astonishing rumbling. A powerful atmosphere was infused into the Blade, and an unparalleled Blade light instantly burst out, crushing the sky like a wild tsunami.
In the distance, Li Quanshou and the others quickly approaching could not help but gasp for air, having never expected Lu Yun to erupt with such terrifying power.
With one shocking slash, five people lost their lives.
After the first slash, Lu Yun didn’t give his enemies a chance to catch their breath, and the Three Thousand Thunder Movement roared to life.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously, and three more people died.
These people, at least in the late and peak stages of the Gold Body Realm, had no chance of fighting back against Lu Yun’s Blade.
They couldn’t even see Lu Yun’s figure, and by the time they reacted, everything was swallowed by an endless darkness.
After killing several Gold Body Realm martial artists consecutively, Lu Yun’s desire for battle intensified, and the black armor around him released a cold light that added to his awe-inspiring aura.
“Bang!” The Rashamon Sect’s Deputy Sect Master, Wan Yingzhi, unleashed an attack that landed heavily on Lu Yun’s Treasure Artifact armor. The armor lit up with red light and revolving runes, reflecting the attack.
“A Treasure Artifact?”
Li Quanshou, Wan Yingzhi, and the white-haired old lady from the Cloud Jade Pavilion cried out in surprise at the same time, murderous intent emerging in their eyes. They unleashed their powerful moves and attacked Lu Yun.
“It’s worthy of being a Treasure Artifact. Even without fighting back, these people’s attacks aren’t necessarily able to break through my defense.” That being said, Lu Yun had no intention of stopping his attacks. With one swipe of his saber, he forced the three Rune Seed Realm powerhouses to retreat.
Then, he unleashed the Golden-edge Swordfang, turning it into nine giant golden swords, and aimed at the remaining half-step Rune Seed Realm warrior.
This half-step Rune Seed Realm powerhouse was from the Sky Brilliance Sect. After seeing Lu Yun’s instant killing of several people, he had been maintaining a distance, launching long-range attacks to support Li Quanshou and the other two Rune Seed Realm powerhouses.
At this moment, the nine golden flying rainbows arrived in an instant, the overwhelming murderous aura enveloping him. Before he could react, his body was suddenly dismembered…
“Is this… still a Gold Body Realm?”
Weiwei was already scared. A mere Gold Body Realm martial artist was able to spare his hands to kill a half-step Rune Seed Realm powerhouse from the Sky Brilliance Sect while being besieged by three Rune Seed Realm experts.
“You two, this youngster’s strength is through the roof. We absolutely cannot hold back anymore!” The white-haired Li Quanshou with a youthful face shouted coldly. A long, slender sword appeared in his hand, and without moving, he swung it in several cutting and stabbing motions, unleashing frightful rune sword lights that surged towards Lu Yun.
“Only realizing now? Isn’t it a bit too late!”
As he spoke, Lu Yun’s body turned into a bolt of lightning, quickly floating towards Li Quanshou. He moved so quickly that Li wasn’t even able to perceive his approach.
He could only faintly feel that his rune sword light had been torn apart by a powerful force.
“Tss, tss, tss!”
In an instant, his eyes were occupied by an extremely blood-red saber light.
“How… could this be…”
Li Quanshou’s voice stopped abruptly, his eyes full of disbelief as he stared at his headless body.
The Wan Yingzhi from Rashamon Sect and the old woman from the Cloud Jade Pavilion were both shocked by this sudden turn of events. They stopped in their tracks and retreated frantically.
“Weiwei, let’s go!” The white-haired old woman grabbed the cold-looking girl, who was shaking all over, and quickly moved away.
The vice Sect Master of Rashamon Sect, Wan Yingzhi, also turned into a bloodlight and escaped in another direction.
After a brief period of thought, Lu Yun used the Instant Horizon, chasing after Wan Yingzhi.
In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of his target, slashing his saber down, and split him in two.
From Wan Yingzhi’s escape, to Lu Yun catching up and killing him, the entire process only took a dozen breaths.
However, when he looked back in the other direction, he had already lost the traces of the other two.
When a Rune Seed Realm powerhouse does everything in their power to escape, a dozen breaths are enough for them to flee beyond his range of detection.
Moreover, at this point, Ye Xuan and the others were suffering from backlash and had no fighting power. If he left them unguarded, accidents could occur.
In the end, Lu Yun gave up on the pursuit, choosing to return to the warship to protect the cultivation of Ye Xuan and the others.
On the number 18 warship, everyone stared at Lu Yun dumbfounded.
It was hard to believe that Lu Yun not only effortlessly resolved the nearly fatal crisis but also killed his enemies with the power of thunder.
“His strength is probably close to the peak of the Rune Seed Realm. Such terrifying talent and ability to defeat superior opponents make him worth following!”
Ye Xuan swept away his despondency, his eyes flickering with determination. He secretly decided that even if he broke through the Rune Seed Realm, he would closely follow Lu Yun’s footsteps.
After exiting the battle state, the black armor on Lu Yun’s body had already turned into a purple-black outfit that swayed gently in the breeze.
He glanced at Qing Hou and the others who were adjusting their breathing, shaking his head slightly.
Gold Body Realm powerhouses, though considered top-notch in other places, couldn’t play a significant role at their side now.
As his strength grew increasingly stronger, the gap between the Demon Extermination General under his command and himself became wider, like a vast chasm. Not only could they not provide any assistance, they might even become a burden.
“It seems that we have become a burden.” Sensing Lu Yun’s gaze, Qing Hou detected some clues and bitterly smiled in his heart.
However, he soon calmed down. At present, he had inscribed 75 runes, reaching the limit of his body.
Next, as long as he condensed Rune Seeds, he would be a half-step Rune Seed Realm warrior.
“Since I’ve finally found a strong person to follow, I must hold on tightly.” Having swept away his previous despondency, Qing Hou’s face showed a determined and confident expression again.
in the Far Suppression Legion, any half-step Rune Seed Realm powerhouse would be considered an absolute strong force..
