Body Integration Tactic No Longer Has Loopholes

"Excuse me, fellow Daoist, do you recognize those two bald men in the mud pit?" Tao Yaoye politely asked the hook-nosed leader.

At the same time, she was also a little confused, as she didn't remember Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou being bald.

What kind of accident could cause someone to become bald?

Tao Yaoye paused for a moment, as if she wouldn't be surprised if something unexpected happened while these two were around.

The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain thought that Tao Yaoye and Man Gu had come from afar seeking revenge, so they quickly shook their heads and said they didn't know them.

"We're new here too, and we don't know either of you bald young heroes. We've only heard that one of them is named Lu Yang, and he's supposedly a Buddhist, proficient in the Arhat Fist. Anyone hit by his Arhat Fist will lose their hair."

Tao Yaoye: "..."

When did Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou become Buddhist monks?

Which Buddhist sect is so blind as to accept these two?

As far as she knew, the abbot of the Hanging Temple was always shouting about suppressing that wicked beast, the Silent Daoist.

After a moment of contemplation, Man Gu understood the deeper meaning behind Lu Yang and Meng Meng's actions. "When traveling, one needs to conceal one's identity. Brother Lu and Brother Meng know that their flamboyant behavior might implicate the Ask Dao Sect, so they shaved their heads to show their resolve and impersonate Buddhists!"

Man Gu thought that the senior sister was indeed worthy of being called the senior sister. When she sent them to Zhenyao Pass to learn from Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, she must have already foreseen the current situation.

I learned quite a lot right after meeting you.

"Do you two know them?" The hook-nosed leader noticed the unusual expressions on Tao Yaoye and Man Gu and suspected that they knew each other.

"My name is Tao Yaoye, this is Man Gu, and here are Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou in the mud pit. The four of us are disciples of the Ask Dao Sect," Tao Yaoye explained.

"The Ask Dao Sect?!" The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were shocked, never expecting that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had such astonishing origins.

On second thought, that makes sense. The two young heroes were able to defeat the successor of a first-class sect with ease, so the power behind them must be far greater than that of a first-class sect.

But his origins from the Ask Dao Sect are truly frightening.

What is the Ask Dao Sect? It is one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, with a history of 120,000 years, longer than the Great Xia Dynasty. Its foundation is unfathomable, and there are even rumors that the Ask Dao Sect is exceptionally powerful and is the leader of the Five Great Immortal Sects!

The strongest sect!

The hook-nosed leader breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't an enemy.

He then explained that the five of them were guides hired by Meng Jingzhou, and that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had come here to steal the twin lotus flowers.

"Core Formation, huh?" Tao Yaoye nodded. She and Man Gu were only a hair's breadth away from the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and they had also come to the dense forest to seek a fortuitous opportunity to form their Core.

"Could it be that Senior Brother Lu wanted to find a fortuitous opportunity during the battle, which is why he incurred the wrath of the crowd and was deliberately surrounded and attacked?" Tao Yaoye looked at Lu Yang suspiciously; this was the most likely possibility.

Lu Yang is under a lot of pressure right now.

He came here to steal the twin lotus flowers, and his use of the Arhat Fist was legitimate self-defense.

He never expected that a single set of Arhat Fist would require him to face the wrath of nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, as well as more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators.

Meng Jingzhou was deeply moved. He had asked Lu Yang for help before, but Lu Yang had changed his usual ways and deliberately attracted hatred, so now no one paid any attention to him.

Righteous!

Lu Yang calmly explained, "Fellow Daoists, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. I have a friend who is skilled in weapon crafting and can also make wigs without any problem. After this matter is over, I can take you to him..."

"Go to hell!" The crowd ignored Lu Yang's explanation and swarmed forward.

Lu Yang possessed exceptional combat prowess, capable of defeating even late-stage Golden Core cultivators, but he still felt his strength was somewhat limited when facing such a large number of cultivators.

Lu Yang felt his own strength was limited, but those who besieged him felt his strength was unfathomable. His opponent was clearly only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, yet he handled the encirclement of equals with ease—even Golden Core cultivator couldn't do that, right?

"Shrinking Earth!"

Lu Yang used his Shrinking Earth technique, making a move to run away.

"He's using Earth Escape Technique!" Someone in the crowd who was proficient in earth-attribute magic immediately recognized Lu Yang's skill.

Without saying a word, the others attacked underground, blasting Lu Yang out.

Lu Yang struggled to deal with enemies from all sides when he inadvertently caught sight of Tao Yaoye and Man Gu standing by the lake, as if he had seen a savior.

"Junior Brother Man, come quickly and save me!" Lu Yang shouted. "Junior Sister Tao, stand on the shore and help!"

Seeing this, Man Gu jumped into the mud to rescue Lu Yang.

Meng Jingzhou also overcame numerous obstacles to reach Lu Yang's side.

At this moment, the Immortal Cult trio reunited, unleashing boundless fighting power.

"You all know what to do, right?"

Lu Yang was on high alert, while Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu nodded in agreement, as if they were of one mind.

"Body Integration!"

The three shouted in unison, recreating their Body Integration battle technique.

This time, however, it was Lu Yang who was the main figure, carrying Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu.

Upon seeing this, everyone hesitated for a moment.

I've never seen this kind of play before!

The Tao Yaoye on the shore paused for a moment.

She had never seen this position before.

And what exactly did Senior Brother Lu want him to do by helping out on the shore?

Lu Yang snorted coldly, and a surge of Sword Qi flowed into Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu's bodies, instantly making them exceptionally sharp, like two swords.

"Let them see what we're made of!" Lu Yang shouted.

As Sword Spirit Root, Lu Yang had not used a sword before because he was worried that the Azure Edge Sword was too powerful and might kill someone. Now that he had Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, he was no longer afraid.

These two were using almost blunt weapons, only with an added layer of Sword Qi, so they wouldn't kill the person.

Lu Yang's two-handed Swordsmanship, which he had practiced diligently for several months, finally came in handy. He wielded Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, spinning them around in the mud like little tops.

Anyone hit by the sweep was sent flying, including the Golden Core cultivators hidden among them.

After the Immortal Cult was destroyed, the three returned to the Ask Dao Sect and practiced how to spin in circles. This time, their spinning time was much longer than when they were in the Immortal Cult!

"Stay away from them, this move won't last long!" Duan Hongchen, the Heavenly Question Blade expert, was very experienced in combat and immediately saw the flaw in this move.

Admittedly, despite their diligent practice, the three of them eventually couldn't maintain the spins for long enough.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'm about to throw up," Man Gu transmitted to Lu Yang.

"Me too," Meng Jingzhou said.

"Trust Junior Sister Tao," Lu Yang replied calmly.

Seeing this, Tao Yaoye understood Lu Yang's meaning.

She opened the red paper umbrella, put two fingers to her lips, and softly recited an incantation to open the illusion barrier.

A hallucinatory vision, influencing people's perception, shrouds this mud pit.

Her specialty is creating illusions.

But her target wasn't the enemy, but Lu Yang and his two companions.

The three people who were originally dizzy suddenly felt light, as if they could no longer feel their surroundings, and their dizziness disappeared.

Lu Yang deliberately refrained from using his Cultivation Method, the "Enlightenment Technique," keeping himself in the illusion.

In reality, Lu Yang and his two companions were still fighting, but now Tao Yaoye was using an illusion to control their bodies, isolating their consciousness from the outside world and preventing them from sensing any changes in their bodies!

That way, you won't have to worry about dizziness!

At this point, the Body Integration combat strategy is flawless!

I kept saying I'd update late the day before yesterday and yesterday, but I didn't, and I feel really guilty. I promise I'll update late for today's second update!
