Di Kun, who was locked in fierce combat with Lu Xiaotian, seemed to sense the astonishing aura that had suddenly erupted from him and could not help being startled. After battling this human for so long, it had felt that it had already probed the limits of his strength. Yet judging from this aura, it seemed the other party had not gone all out.
Naturally, Di Kun did not know that because of its earlier sneak attack, Lu Xiaotian's main Primordial Spirit had been temporarily sealed, only recovering at this moment. Thus, Lu Xiaotian had been unable to fully unleash his strength.
Surprised as it was, Di Kun's attacks did not pause in the slightest.
A thought flashed through Lu Xiaotian's mind. A chill appeared on his face as he fought while retreating, gradually backing toward the earthen puppet as if by accident.
Not only did the flying silver corpse Di Kun have no idea what Lu Xiaotian intended to do, even the Primordial Spirit within the Soul-Sealing Pearl did not find anything unusual about his actions. After all, the Primordial Spirit inside the Soul-Sealing Pearl had never personally witnessed Lu Xiaotian fight. In the cultivation world, techniques like the Secret Art of Spirit Splitting were closely guarded secrets, not something that could be found in a sect's library hall. Only direct blood relatives or personal disciples might have access to them.
Di Kun had repeatedly run into walls against Lu Xiaotian, and its ever-proud nature had been thoroughly enraged. Seeing Lu Xiaotian show signs of retreat, how could it possibly let him withdraw so easily? It pursued him relentlessly, its attacks growing several degrees more savage.
Holding the Earthsplitter Saber, Lu Xiaotian fought with all his strength to block the assault, yet Di Kun still struck him several times.
