Battle 4

Hundreds of thousands of miles away in the Flowing Gold Valley, a figure covered in blood stood upright despite his severe injuries, his eyes filled with rage.

Opposite him lay seven or eight corpses that looked like skeletons.

"This is the Flowing Gold Valley Herb Garden; outsiders are not permitted to enter!"

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

A disciple from White Bone Mountain, severely wounded in the abdomen, stood up with a cold expression, his eyes radiating murderous intent and faintly glowing with a green light.

"We've almost breached your Flowing Gold Valley, and you're still acting so arrogantly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant claw covered in black fur reached out to grab Lü Yang. The dark light emanating from the claw was extremely unsettling, as if it carried a terrifying poison.

Lü Yang's expression hardened slightly. He took a deep breath, raised his sword, and swung it. "Pure Fire Sword!"

A flash of fire appeared on the sword in his hand, and in an instant, it burst into flames. The flames tore through the air, and a fire snake snaked out, the intense heat directly igniting the grass on the ground.

The black claw collided with the fire serpent, and after a brief struggle, the black claw was completely incinerated by the flames.

The fire serpent continued to roar as it flew towards its opponent. The man struggled to erect a shield to block it, but his spiritual power was insufficient to sustain it, causing the shield to flicker.

The fire serpent smashed through the shield and ignited the opponent. In no time, the opponent roared and turned to ashes.

Lü Bu knelt on the ground, sword in hand, panting heavily, with drops of blood falling to the ground like rain.

He single-handedly fought seven disciples of White Bone Mountain and wiped them all out, demonstrating that Lü Yang's strength has not diminished over the years.

"Bang~ Boom~"

A loud explosion came from afar, and a dazzling golden light, accompanied by a rolling shockwave, burst outwards.

"Hanyue, your sect's protective formation has been broken. Today, I'll see what else you can use to stop us!"

"All disciples, heed my command! Attack! Today we will annihilate Flowing Gold Valley!"

Lü Yang's body went limp, and he fell backward to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief. "The sect's... grand formation... has been broken?"

Just then, a figure flew through the air and laughed, "I didn't expect there to be another seriously injured person here. Lucky me, I've gotten a free contribution point."

After saying that, the man raised his hand and summoned a black claw that reached out to grab Lü Yang. At the same time, he flew over on his sword, intending to collect the spoils of war as soon as possible.

Lü Yang was already powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the giant claw came crashing down.

"So be it, so be it. The sect has nurtured me for over thirty years. To die alongside the sect today is a worthy death. It's just a pity that I didn't have a chance to tell Qingling my feelings."

Lü Yang closed his eyes, ready to face death, but after a while, the attack didn't land on him; instead, a scream rang out.

What happened? Has anyone come to rescue us?

But this herb garden is located on a hilltop three miles outside the sect. Surely no one would come here at a time like this?

Filled with doubt, Lü Yang opened his eyes and saw a beautiful woman standing in the air.

"This is Qi and Blood Pill. This Storage Bag contains tens of thousands of Spirit Stone and all the Cultivation Method Law Technique of our lineage. Let's leave Flowing Gold Valley with them."

After saying that, the woman turned around and charged back towards the direction of the sect.

Lü Yang instinctively reached out and grabbed the things, asking urgently, "Master, you've already escaped, why do you want to go back? Wouldn't it be better if we went together?"

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Lü Yang's master Xuanfeng.

"I grew up in this sect, and this is my home. Now, outsiders have trampled on our home, intending to commit murder. As a member of this family, I will not allow it."

"Don't talk about abandoning your family and fleeing for a living. I became a cultivator for immortality, but it's definitely not just for immortality. Today, as we part, Lü Yang, I'll give you one last piece of advice: Don't become a slave to immortality!"

The words floated in the air, but the person had vanished.

Lü Yang was stunned for a long time before finally sighing, "Master, since you have taught me in this way, how can I leave? Although I have only been in the sect for a short time, the sect is still my home. My friends, loved ones, and dearest relatives are here. How can you expect me to abandon them?"

After swallowing the entire bottle of Qi and Blood Pill, Lü Yang then swallowed a bottle of Qi Recovery Pill. The wounds on his body had scabbed over thanks to the effects of the Qi and Blood Pill, and his depleted Spiritual Qi began to slowly recover.

Lü Yang staggered to his feet, summoned his flying sword, and was about to head towards the sect when suddenly, the Storage Bag Xuanfeng had just given him spat out a jade talisman. Xuanfeng's words remained on it. "I knew you wouldn't leave easily, so I'll personally send you off."

"Lü Yang, don't blame your master, and don't dwell on this matter. You are the most talented disciple in our lineage. I'm entrusting these things to you in the hope that one day you can restore the glory of our lineage."

"I cannot and do not wish to leave, so I entrust these matters to you. Do not disappoint me."

Having said that, the jade talisman shattered, and a beam of white light enveloped Lü Yang, causing him to disappear from the spot.

"No~"

All that remained of Lü Yang's unwilling shout was left on the spot.

Inside the sect, Xuanfeng cleaved five Foundation Establishment disciples from White Bone Mountain with a single sword strike, then turned to look at the gradually dissipating white light in the distance, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Lü Yang, although we have only known each other for a few decades, your talent, character, and comprehension are all exceptional. I have nothing to give you but to keep you alive. The path to immortality is long; I hope you will not lose your true self in the future."

"Xuanfeng, what kind of skill is it to bully our disciples? If you have the guts, try it with me!"

A man dressed in a black robe, as thin as a skeleton, had black energy swirling around his hands. He unleashed a palm strike, carrying a rolling gust of wind.

Xuanfeng glared angrily, her expression cold and murderous. She swung her long sword, sending a beam of light to meet the attack.

"Corpse Soul, today you have destroyed my sect and wantonly slaughtered my disciples. Although I am weak and incompetent, I will slay you today to atone for the souls of the dead."

The two fought fiercely, and the sword light and black energy that occasionally erupted caused heavy casualties among the disciples fighting around them.

Having fought to this point, no one had any reservations and didn't care whether their own disciples would be affected.

In a mountain stream thousands of miles away, a figure appeared out of thin air. Before the person could react, several array flags flew out, connecting to form a large array that Imprisonment the figure, causing it to fall to the ground and disappear underground.

"Master, no!"

Lü Yang only managed to utter a shout before he was firmly Imprisonment by the formation.

Soon, the place returned to calm, the aura dissipated, and there was no trace of a figure that had once broken through the air.
