The sword lights, which measured thousands of meters long, swept across the sky. It was an amazing sight to behold.
One could have said that it resembled a giant pillar piercing the sky, blocking it from sight!
It was also like a divine mountain standing high up in the sky.
Boom!
In an instant, the divine mountain fell.
A terrifying power began to emerge. It seemed as if Mount Tai was about to collapse!
Upon immediately realizing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Zhang Yirong said, “This is bad!”
Lu Xuan had formed a sword light that reached thousands of meters in length. It essentially ripped the sky apart while covering Zhang Yirong.
Boom!
The sword light had only created a strong wind, but it still seemed as if it could blow over a mountain.
“How can it be so scary? Looks like I have to go all out!”
With no other way to defend himself against it, Zhang Yirong had no other choice but to kneel before such a terrifying force. With all of his pores closed, he felt as if he was suffocating. All the spirit qi was instantly cut off to create an empty environment.
At that moment, Zhang Yirong finally unleashed his strength from being half a step in the Divine Transformation Realm. He had no choice but to go all out against Lu Xuan’s terrifying sword attack.
The force on his body swept out in an attempt to counter the sword attack. However, Zhang Yirong soon noticed that it was impossible. The Shield of Great Aether on his body wanted to support the protective shield, but it gradually began to crack under the pressure coming from the sword.
This kind of pressure was simply invincible!
He opened his mouth and screamed. The blade in his hand was a power item of the highest caliber, capable of fighting against the sword attack. With that blade, he slashed at Lu Xuan.
Boom!
Zhang Yirong’s blade light, which measured hundreds of meters long, clashed with the huge sword light from Lu Xuan.
However, under the sword light’s pressure, the blade light was far weaker. The blade light did not even have a tenth of the sword light’s strength.
How could Zhang Yirong counter such an attack? It was impossible. The thousand-meter-long sword light sliced downward, with such force that it seemed as if Mount Tai was about to collapse.
As the leader of the Guardian Army from Taichu Path, Zhang Yirong was very determined. He absolutely refused to sit back and wait to be captured, even when he was at his limit.
He knew that most of what Lu Xuan said earlier was true; they were the last force left from Taichu Path.
With them still being around, Taichu Path still had a chance at maintaining its existence. However, that meant that if they were eliminated, then Taichu Path would be annihilated. In that case, it would no longer be significant in history.
The strength that Lu Xuan had displayed just now made Zhang Yirong desperate. Even though they were both in the same realm, he was far weaker than Lu Xuan in terms of combat strength.
“Argh!”
Zhang Yirong screamed as Spiritual Aether boiled all over his body. His qi and blood burned, allowing his strength to grow.
People could pretty much see that half of Zhang Yirong’s hair had changed in color, immediately going from black to white.
A terrifying destructive force was released from his body.
Suddenly, a stream of black light flew out of his body. The black light swept across the sky and instantly pierced Lu Xuan’s physical body.
Lu Xuan let out a cold hum as he opened his left hand. The qi-condensed hand instantly grasped the blacklight.
This blacklight was shockingly powerful; it contained a type of poison qi, allowing it to directly penetrate Lu Xuan’s qi-condensed hand.
However, Lu Xuan still caught it with his hand. In the end, the blacklight failed to pierce Lu Xuan’s palm.
“No way!”
Zhang Yirong’s eyes widened in disbelief. His black light had never failed before; it was known to be capable of penetrating bodies and the Shield of Great Aether.
To his surprise, he still failed to defend himself from Lu Xuan’s attack.
Lu Xuan’s Shield of Great Aether blocked Zhang Yirong’s black light.
Lu Xuan opened his hand to find a centipede about half the size of his palm.
This centipede looked quite strange. The area where its tail was supposed to be located was actually split into seven different tails, each with a poisonous thorn on them emitting poisonous qi.
These seven poisonous thorns would have directly pierced any ordinary person.
It even instantly broke both Lu Xuan’s qi-condensed hand and his Shield of Great Aether.
The thorns had even pierced a hole in the dragon scales of protection that Lu Xuan condensed in his palm. Only then did the attack stop.
It could be said that Lu Xuan had blocked the attack thanks to his Shield of Great Aether and his extremely strong physical body. Ordinary experts who were half a step in the Divine Transformation Realm would not have been able to avoid the attack. They would have been poisoned.
The venom would most likely invade their body, instantly killing them.
Even an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm might end up in a miserable state.
“It’s a Seven-star Poisonous Centipede!” Upon seeing this poisonous bug in his hand, his face changed into a joyful expression.
As far as his cultivation was concerned, ordinary things rarely attracted his attention. Even ordinary cultivation treasures were nothing in his eyes.
However, this Seven-star Poisonous Centipede was different. Coming from the bloodline of ancient monsters, the bodies of these insects were usually very poisonous.
While Lu Xuan had been holding it in his hands, the poison from its body had gradually melted each layer of Lu Xuan’s Shield of Great Aether.
It was impossible for an ordinary person to safely hold it!
Lu Xuan could clearly see that the Seven-star Poisonous Centipede was constantly twisting and emitting a dark poisonous fog, trying to break free from Lu Xuan’s hand.
It was believed to be very rare; Lu Xuan had seen this kind of Seven-star Poisonous Centipede only once before in his previous life. He saw it on a cultivation master who specialized in poisons.
If it was properly trained, it could be a killer!
If the Seven-star Poisonous Centipede had never met a monster like Lu Xuan, it would’ve been known for having a physical body that was even stronger than him. It could have even killed ordinary people a long time ago.
The insect would’ve poisoned even his mother and sister, who had the same physique as him.
If the bug was used well, then even an ordinary person could seriously injure an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm in an instant.
If an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm used it, then it was possible for them to have infinite power.
This was because the Seven-star Poisonous Centipede could also be fed with the essence and blood of their owners. Through this, the centipede’s power would be greatly increased in a short amount of time.
Zhang Yirong’s hair instantly turned white as he had fed this Seven-star Poisonous Centipede with his essence and blood. His attack had almost succeeded.
Zhang Yirong wore an incredulous expression on his face in response. This was the trump card that he had kept a secret for many years, yet Lu Xuan still managed to stop it.
“Seal!”
As Lu Xuan shouted, Spiritual Aether poured out from his left hand and turned into a seal. It directly sealed the Seven-star Poisonous Centipede, which Lu Xuan then threw into his Coiling Dragon Ring.
“Pft!”
Zhang Yirong spat out a mouthful of blood.
