The Move Wasn't Originally Meant for You

Lord An activated the great formation the moment Governor Lü and Wu Youdao clashed. The semi-circular barrier, like an upside-down bowl, was placed over Hanshui City, ensuring that the aftershocks of their battle would not affect the city.

A thunderclap seemed to strike in mid-air above Hanshui City, deafeningly loud. The two fought fiercely, their fists and feet colliding, unleashing dazzling light. Mortals could not bear to watch the battle. Even those with lower cultivation levels felt a tightness in their chests as they witnessed the fight, as if they were resonating with it.

Wu Youdao dared not use the Palm Universe technique to pierce through Governor Lü again, otherwise his other hand would also be fused to Governor Lü's body.

Now that Wu Youdao's arm has fused with Lu Zhoumu's chest, his movement is greatly restricted. Coupled with Lu Zhoumu's amazing healing speed, he has actually gained the upper hand for a time!

"Damn it, get out of here!" No matter how Wu Youdao fought, he couldn't get the upper hand and couldn't understand how Governor Lü had come up with such an outrageous method.

Wu Youdao punched Lu Zhoumu in the face, and Lu Zhoumu tilted his head to the side, then used his neck to slowly push it back.

"This move was originally intended to deal with that old scoundrel, Bu Yu, but I didn't expect it to benefit you first!" Lu Zhoumu's eyes flashed with madness.

"The Silent Old Thief, could it be the Silent Daoist?!" Clearly, Wu Youdao had heard of this name before.

"Rumor has it that the Silent Daoist has enemies all over the world. Could it be that the Silent Daoist wants to increase the combat power of the Great Xia cultivators by making enemies?" Wu Youdao pondered. As an emperor, he had a clear mind and thought more than others.

"The Ask Dao Sect truly deserves to be the biggest obstacle to the restoration of my Great Yu Kingdom!" Wu Youdao recalled the words of the Grand Preceptor, who warned him to be careful of the Ask Dao Sect, as they were a formidable enemy.

Fortunately, he has not yet encountered anyone from the Ask Dao Sect.

"As expected of Governor Lu, we can win if we keep fighting like this." Lu Yang's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Governor Lu to be so reliable, and he was also glad that he hadn't revealed his sect.

Judging from Governor Lü's ruthless fighting style, he must have had a deep grudge against his master.

"You can't win. This kind of fighting style relies on the fact that Wu Youdao hasn't seen it before and can't react in time. Once Wu Youdao reacts, Xiao Lü will be on the defensive." The Immortal Fairy was intelligent and had experienced countless battles, big and small. She saw the shortcomings of this method at a glance.

The only way to win is to restrain Wu Youdao and then kill him by overwhelming force when he is off guard.

Unfortunately, Governor Lü did not possess absolute power.

Just as the Immortal Fairy had predicted, Wu Youdao, after being beaten several times, came up with a solution in the shortest amount of time.

He transformed his left hand into a celestial blade and slashed at Governor Lü, who dodged it by sidestepping.

Unexpectedly, Wu Youdao wasn't aiming at Governor Lü at all, but at his own right arm!

Swish--

The Heavenly Blade cleaved down, severing the right arm. Blood gushed out, forming a river of blood that spilled over Hanshui City. Upon encountering the transparent barrier, it emitted a hissing, corrosive sound that sent chills down everyone's spine.

If the barrier fails, the blood of those Tribulation Transcendence will spill onto the ground, undoubtedly causing a calamity.

Fortunately, the transparent barrier was strong enough that it remained intact even after the corrosive effects of the blood were exhausted.

Wu Youdao's severed arm healed rapidly.

"The sound is heavenly and pleasing to the ear!"

Wu Youdao regained his freedom, opened his mouth, and made a piercing sound. The sound contained magic, like thousands of gossiping people whispering. No matter how much Governor Lu covered his ears and shut down his five senses, the sound could still be heard.

"Great Luo Triple Force!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Wu Youdao threw a punch, which burst forth with a brilliant light as intense as the sun, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Even a high-ranking monk who has cultivated a sixteen-foot-tall golden body would have his cultivation broken by my punch!" Wu Youdao laughed loudly.

Prefect Lü was distracted by the Heavenly Sound and unable to perceive the movements of the outside world, so he took the punch squarely.

Puff--

Governor Lü was coughing up blood incessantly. The power of the nation's destiny was rapidly healing his wounds, but this punch contained three layers of force. The first layer of force severely injured Governor Lü, while the second and third layers of force were preventing the healing process.

"Not dead yet, let's finish him off with another punch!" Wu Youdao revealed a greedy expression, as if the power of the nation's destiny was within reach.

"The emperor of the Great Yu is so majestic!"

A deep, steady laugh rang out, and a five-colored halo suddenly appeared, blocking Lu Zhoumu's path.

Wu Youdao's punch was too powerful; the five-colored light wheel only managed to block it for two breaths.

Click--

The halo shattered, and Governor Lü vanished without a trace.

"Here he is!" Wu Youdao turned his head and saw Governor Lü being supported by Qiu Jin'an.

Are you alright?

"He's not dead yet."

"It's you, the sect leader of the Immortal Sect! You should be at the Hundred Flowers Restaurant right now!" Wu Youdao stared coldly at Qiu Jin'an. His two most powerful ghosts were kept at the Hundred Flowers Restaurant.

Baihua Restaurant.

A gigantic ghost lay on the ground, its body hollowed out, its three souls shattered by three chopsticks, and a bowl of rice stuffed into its mouth. Countless smaller ghosts had their necks snapped, their heads severed and scattered throughout the hall.

"You mean the bloated ghost and the starving ghost? So-so. It's interesting if they devour each other and create a new ghost, but that's about it."

"As for those little devils who can lock up the three souls and seven spirits just by riding on someone's neck, that's something the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect has already mastered."

The bloated ghost and the starving ghost are compatible ghosts. The bloated ghost died from overeating in life and will continue to eat after death, never getting enough. The starving ghost died from starvation in life and continues to eat after death, but is never full. The two ghosts devour each other and will merge into a ghost called the gluttonous ghost. Ordinary cultivators who encounter the gluttonous ghost will surely die.

"Trying to deal with me using bloated ghosts and starving ghosts is an insult to my abilities."

Wu Youdao narrowed his eyes. Countless Body Integration Realm had already been devoured by the Bloating Ghost and the Starving Ghost. There were even quite a few Integrated Body Late Stage Cultivator among them. These were ghosts that Body Integration Realm cultivator should not be able to deal with.

This Qiu Jinan's combat strength was even greater than he had expected.

"You block the damage, I'll attack, how about that?" Qiu Jin'an transmitted his voice.

"Alright." In terms of combat strength, Governor Lü is far inferior to Qiu Jin'an.

"My lord, we've arrived!" Several Nascent Integrated Body Realm Cultivator appeared to lend their assistance.

They had been held back by the ghosts that had appeared in the city, and when Qiu Jin'an came over, he helped them out, which freed them up to assist him.

"Go down below and help your colleagues deal with the ghosts and maintain order in the city!" Governor Lu waved his hand. This battle cannot be decided by adding a few more ordinary Body Integration Realm. Even Body Integration Realm Nascent Soul cultivator like himself would die in a single encounter without the support of the nation's fortune.

Only a supreme expert like Qiu Jin'an, who is at the Body Integration Realm, can come to help now.

The problem is, how often can one find Body Integration Realm of the level of the Five Great Immortal Sects sect leaders?

Wu Youdao resorted to his old tricks, attempting to control Qiu Jin'an. "Tian Yin Yue..."

Qiu Jin'an's combat experience far surpassed that of Governor Lü. He held up a fiery lotus radiating an aura of destruction in his palm.

"Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"

Boom--

Destructive energy erupted, and a giant red lotus bloomed in the sky above Hanshui City. Each petal possessed the power to shatter a grotto. With twenty-eight petals blooming, the destructive energy released was unimaginably immense. Even through the barrier, Lu Yang could feel the scorching heat emanating from it.

When the smoke cleared, Wu Youdao was revealed in a disheveled state. His clothes were in disarray, his body was covered in burns, his skin was wrinkled, and his head was bald. Gone was his usual composed and arrogant demeanor.

"This move was originally intended to deal with the Ask Dao Sect, but unfortunately it was used on you first."

Qiu Jinan slowly shook his head, and a red lotus once again condensed in his palm.
