A Heated Battlefield
Lu Yuan quickly realized that this guy wasn't prepared for close combat at all. Damn it, he was at a loss for what to do. He was already at the Fifth Order; if he really wanted to leave, he could easily run away with Frey. But what about the Blue Knight and Brunkel?
But Lu Yuan's learning speed is frighteningly fast.
At first, he was forced to dodge and weave through the giant hands, swaying and staggering in mid-air. But before long, he was able to ride on the giant hands and rampage through the air, crushing each giant hand in less and less time.
The slight smile of appreciation on the Leader's lips gradually faded.
A giant wave crashed down on Lu Yuan, swallowing him whole with Flesh and bone fragments. But the next moment, the man emerged from the wave, swaying slightly but his imposing aura undiminished.
The Leader's pupils contracted sharply.
The one who suffered the most was actually Frey, who was hanging on Lu Yuan's back.
She clung tightly to Lu Yuan's back, her eyes closed, her teeth clenched. As Lu Yuan dodged and weaved, his body constantly performed various difficult turns and accelerations. Frey was jolted so much that her stomach churned, and she almost vomited several times, but in order not to cause trouble, she could only grit her teeth and hold it back. Her hands and feet dared not relax for a moment. Just now, Lu Yuan almost threw her off during one of his dodges.
The Leader watched the figure leaping and bounding between the giant hands like a monkey, a hint of admiration still flashing in his eyes.
This Outsider was indeed powerful. Every time he created several giant hands and waves of flesh and Flesh, Lu Yuan would dodge them. If he couldn't dodge them, Lu Yuan would simply punch through them. The Leader could see that if Lu Yuan hadn't wanted to take the two outsider women with him, he really wouldn't have been able to stop him with his strength.
Lu Yuan saw all of this, smashed the giant hand in front of him with a punch, and through the flying bits of flesh, he couldn't help but curse.
"You need this ground to support you even when you fly, and you dare call yourself Fifth Order? After I smashed half of your body, you never let me get close again. Is this the kind of courage your Holy Sovereign gave you?"
The Leader's face immediately darkened, and his offensive suddenly intensified.
But he wasn't provoked into charging forward. Instead, he spoke again through the countless giant hands in the sky, "You are indeed very strong, Outsider. So, I'll give you another chance. Are you interested in becoming a follower of my Holy Sovereign? Not only that, our Holy Sovereign will also bestow upon you boundless power, allowing you to advance even further."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan smashed the giant hand in front of him with a single punch. He spat, his tone filled with undisguised disdain. "Only trash would become a follower of your Holy Sovereign, betraying one's identity; they are nothing but Taboo lackeys."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gray-White Text appeared before Lu Yuan's eyes.
[Target detected: Withered Glory Society Grand Leader (Consciousness Entity) (Believer Transcendent)]
[A human who reached the Fifth Order through the power of [■■■■] possesses a remarkable talent for affinity with Flesh and blood.]
Lu Yuan was secretly startled as he looked at the two lines of text in front of him.
This guy is indeed strong; you can tell just from the Gray-White Text. To kill him, you have to keep getting close and never blast him away. But he happens to be in this world and holds the Blessing bestowed by this land.
Lu Yuan suppressed his anxiety and continued to mock, "You relied on that damned Taboo power to become a Fifth Order cultivator by being someone's dog. You can't even find your own body. What are you after, you idiot?"
After saying that, Lu Yuan held up his middle finger at him and pointed it hard.
The Leader couldn't understand the purpose of Lu Yuan's raised middle finger, but he could sense that it was a gesture of mockery. His expression turned completely cold.
"Since that's the case, then you might as well die!"
Deep within the Gray Mist on the other side, the Seventh Seat was being relentlessly entangled by the Bone Controller.
The Bone Controller had no intention of engaging in a one-on-one confrontation with the Seventh Seat. What he could control were countless bones in this world. These bones rose continuously from the ground, piled up into mountains in mid-air, and then crashed down, wave after wave. The immense power constantly restricted the Seventh Seat's performance.
The Seventh Seat could sense that in close combat, the Bone Controller would be no match for him. But right now, he had no good way to deal with this guy who only wanted to hide behind his bones. He was really troublesome.
He didn't intend to kill the opponent by force, because it was unrealistic. Unless the Bone Controller revealed a weakness, it would be almost impossible to kill him in the current situation.
Therefore, the Seventh Seat changed his plans; he wanted to forcibly relocate the battlefield to the location where Lu Yuan and the others were.
There were two reasons. First, he needed to confirm whether the Outsider were still alive. Two Fifth Order had attacked them simultaneously. If they were all dead, he would have to leave first. There was no point in staying here to fight to the death. The other reason was the Seed. The Seed absolutely could not fall into the hands of Heretic. Even if it did fall into the hands of Heretic, it would only be a corpse.
The task given to him by the Third Seat was still remembered by the Seventh Seat.
The bones surrounded him, layer upon layer, forming a bone cage that locked him inside. Each bone was as thick as an adult's arm, and more were being added to it.
The next moment, a flash of blue light appeared on the Seventh Seat skeleton, and the bone cage exploded into fragments from the inside out. He instantly broke free from the bone cage that had imprisoned him in place. He rushed forward, heading straight for the Bone Controller, but just as he rushed out, he suddenly dodged backward.
The Bone Controller didn't react in time and watched helplessly as the Seventh Seat turned around and rushed towards the location of the Leader.
The Bone Controller was clearly in a hurry. The bones around him frantically condensed on his body and around him, layer upon layer, forming a huge, airtight bone sphere that rumbled and swept towards the Seventh Seat.
The Seventh Seat did not turn back. He forcefully broke through the gray mist and locked onto the direction where Lu Yuan and the others were.
The moment the fog dissipated, the Seventh Seat suddenly realized that Lu Yuan was now airborne, fighting against the leader of the Heretic.
The pursuing bone sphere also stopped at that moment, its bones crackling open to reveal the astonished face of the Bone Controller. What was going on? Where did another Fifth Order being come from? Had these rats sent yet another person?
But he soon realized something was wrong. There was a girl hanging on the man's back. It was the same man who had carried the Seed earlier. He had actually reached Fifth Order!
