Necropolis Immortal Chapter 2312

Chapter 2022 – Making a Clean Getaway

“You grow ever more cocky, Thalassic. How dare you touch those of the Cardinal Sacred Palace?” A tall young man wielding a longsword stalked through the void, first sweeping a glance at Lu Yun, then settling his gaze upon the Thalassic Peak Grand Supreme.

“I already said that those of the Cardinal Sacred Palace have nothing to do with my Eastern Sacred Palace,” sneered Thalassic as she looked at the newcomer. “What are you doing here, Ascendere? Do you want a fight?”

“A fight? Just you?” scoffed Ascendere. “But Thalassic, don’t think that you’re going to get away with sheltering demons from the outside world.” He finally looked at Lu Yun. “Demon, are you going to end yourself here or do I need to execute you?”

“Kill me? You?” Lu Yun blinked. He was still caught in the sharp stroke that cut through the air.

Although the stroke hailed straight from the heart of sword dao, demonstrating the strength of its core essence, it lacked variation. Thus, it was more like a large wooden club being waved around by a caveman.

Wooden clubs were stout and durable, able to sweep through everything via sheer force. But if someone stood a few dozen meters away with a crossbow , the club would be completely ineffective.

Of course, Lu Yun rather felt like he was aiming an AK-47 at the Ascendere Peak Grand Supreme. Or maybe he was a modern man wielding an even more sophisticated weapon.

The man wanted to bludgeon him to death with a wooden club?

What a joke.

It was such a joke that Lu Yun almost burst out laughing.

The Thalassic and Ascendere Peak Grand Supremes were taken aback by Lu Yun’s expression. Thalassic didn’t really mean to protect Lu Yun or avoid confronting him, she was just irate at the Cardinal Sacred Palace’s domineering ways. If it really came down to a fight, she would stand against the outsider as well.

“You can try to kill me now.” Lu Yun crooked his finger at Ascendere. He was no fool—although he’d successfully used a mental art to subtly guide everyone’s thoughts, the bone-deep hatred that they bore for outsiders wouldn’t be dispelled by a small beguilement art.

The situation earlier had purely been a result of two sacred palaces not getting along.

Up in the sky, the eye of great dao locked onto him. No matter what he did or turned into, all was under the eye’s purview.

Lu Yun wasn’t afraid of the peak grand supreme waving a stick around, but a peak grand supreme still commanded respect. The other was stronger and far more physically sound than him. And if several other peak grand supremes threw their clubs over at the same time, Lu Yun might be stoned to death by their weapons.

He would escape and be free from pursuit if he broke the eye in the sky, but that was far easier said than done. Only Thalassic and Ascendere had shown themselves out of countless experts gathered in the region. They were sharply focused on Lu Yun while protecting the eye of great dao at the same time.

He had to catch them unawares if he wanted to get away in one fell stroke. At least, that was his current plan.

“Although you’re a peak grand supreme and I’m just a high supreme, it’s still more than impossible for you to kill me,” Lu Yun jeered arrogantly as he looked down his nose at Ascendere.

“Then I will grant you your wish since you want to die so badly!” snorted Ascendere. He didn’t lose his temper; although the combat arts and dao methods of this world were far behind the times, his mental state was incredibly strong as he was a peak grand supreme. He wouldn’t lose his composure on account of a few words from the outsider.

A ray of sword light shot out of his hand when he lifted it. It was thirty percent stronger than what he’d used to break Thalassic’s waves—an indication of how solemnly Ascendere approached the situation.

But in Lu Yun’s eyes, no one in the World of Immortals would bother learning a combat art like this one even if it laid on the ground, free for the taking. This world had stagnated in self-isolation for far too long. It would’ve been conquered by other parties a long time ago if not for supreme powerhouses protecting it.

The local inhabitants weren’t that highly developed, but they lived comfortable and peaceful lives due to the presence of powerful guardians. There might even be an existence in the void that no heavyweight could withstand.

Unbidden, Lu Yun thought back to the spark of sacrifice he’d seen when he first arrived here. This world’s ultimate protector likely didn’t hail from either the Eastern or Cardinal Sacred Palace.

He reached out a hand when the sword light reached his head, casually flicked his fingers, and shattered the light.

“That’s all you got?” he snorted with derision.

“What?!” Everyone in the surroundings, including the two peak grand supremes, froze with shock. The outsider had dismissed a peak grand supreme’s blow with two fingers?? Was he really a high supreme?

The Ascendere Peak Grand Supreme’s face darkened and he looked at Thalassic. She found her toes extremely interesting and studied them intently.

“Hmph!” More than a little humiliated, Ascendere shot into the sky and drew his sword on Lu Yun.

A hint of a smile crossed the young man’s face and he pointed forward with the same two fingers, collecting the dense sword light around him and fashioning a large dragon.

His long unused sea of sword intent manifested at this time.

Vast Dragon Seaturner!

Lu Yun was as if a dragon himself, churning through the waters and rampaging through the void.

“What kind of combat art is this?!” Jaws dropped and eyes bulged out in the crowd. What the outsider displayed was inconceivable to those assembled. It was a concept they couldn’t understand. They felt the same fear, incomprehension, and shocked fascination a group of primitive cavemen might experience when first seeing an AK-47 in action.

Standing at the forefront, Ascendere stopped dead in his tracks. He stared dumbly at the dragon-shaped sword light rushing at him, unsure of how to react.

“Break!!” Lu Yun shot out of Vast Dragon Seaturner and slammed his fist into the eye of great dao in the air. But even so, the peak grand supremes were riveted by his combat art and didn’t react to his attack.

This sword technique was marvelous! Was it really a combat art?? Or was it a work of art, a piece of magical craftsmanship that’d wrested creation from the heavens?

No one cared that the outsider broke the eye with a single punch. Lu Yun’s move opened a new door for them. So combat arts could be used in this manner, and such combat arts existed in the world!

“You seek death!” came an angry shout from the air as a large hand descended upon Lu Yun. A suffocating feeling came with it.

It was an empyrean supreme. One had finally made a move.

“Time to go!” Lu Yun called upon the Tome of Life and Death and deployed Boundless Step, vanishing on the spot. He utilized Shapeshifting at the same time, flashing through ten million different forms in a thousandth of a breath before finally shaking off the empyrean supreme’s consciousness and making good his escape.
