"Afraid it's that crazy woman from the Sword Pavilion."
Looking at the approaching sword light, Lü Yang slightly furrowed his brows and immediately formed a hand seal, offering up the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal of Dou Shuai True Command] into the air.
The moment this half-true treasure spun in the air, it burst out with divine brilliance.
[Stellar Concealment Radiance]!
With this half-true treasure that could simulate innate divine abilities, Lü Yang now was no different from a perfected mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, no longer falling behind in cultivation compared to others.
Moreover, compared to other offensive divine abilities, [Stellar Concealment Radiance] excelled in concealment.
At this moment, the divine brilliance shrouded Lü Yang like a layer of gauze, instantly cutting off all causality and aura.
His figure gradually dimmed, melting into the surrounding environment.
Before long, the sword light sped over and sharply split apart.
Lü Yang hid in the shadows, glancing over, and saw atop her head a sword pill, wearing a green palace dress covered by wide-sleeved gauze robes—sure enough, it was Ye Guyue from the Sword Pavilion!
".Strange."
Ye Guyue slightly furrowed her elegant brows, glanced around, then actually offered up the sword pill into the air and formed a seal with a finger.
Eet je dit voor het slapengaan, dan val je in 14 dagen 17 kg af!Open
In an instant, a magnificent sword light rippled out.
The sword light fell in the air, as if slicing something invisible.
In the blink of an eye, Lü Yang was shocked to find that the spiritual energy within a thousand-mile radius had been directly severed by this sword light, vanishing into nothingness!
'She's trying to force me out.'
Lü Yang understood perfectly.
This sword severed the spiritual energy.
Without spiritual energy, no matter how good the concealment, flaws would inevitably appear and be exposed.
'Unfortunately, I am different!'
[Stellar Concealment Radiance] specialized in concealment.
If it could be exposed so easily, it would be worthless.
To find Lü Yang now, one would need a treasure like the "Bing Fire" of the Celestial Observatory, using its light to scan the entire region for traces.
However, it was clear that Ye Guyue did not possess such a supreme treasure and could only watch helplessly, unable to locate him.
'I wonder if I can attempt an ambush.'
Lü Yang pondered in his heart.
With [Stellar Concealment Radiance] paired with the Invisible Sword, he had previously used this combination to sneak up on Prince Qing and kill him with one strike.
'.Unfortunately, this combination probably won't work on this woman.'
After all, as a True Person of the Sword Pavilion, Ye Guyue surely carried a defensive treasure like [Hundred Perils Subduing Mysterious Cloak].
It was impossible to kill her with a single strike. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
'No rush, slow and steady wins the race. Wait for the opportunity.'
Lü Yang was very patient.
With the aid of [Stellar Concealment Radiance], he distanced himself from Ye Guyue and watched from afar like a seasoned hunter.
On the other side, Ye Guyue was frowning deeply.
Her sword heart and sword intent told her that something felt off here.
Yet, after probing with both divine sense and sword techniques, she had found nothing.
'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... you want to play the oriole?'
'So be it!'
Ye Guyue scanned her surroundings once more, then looked toward the land of [Yin Dragon Water] ahead.
Soon, she made her decision.
As a sword cultivator, she had always been one to break rather than bend!
The next moment, she charged in without hesitation.
The area transformed by [Yin Dragon Water] was a barren wilderness shrouded in heavy rain and thin mist.
Now, however, it was cleaved open by her sword.
But for [Yin Dragon Water], the rain and mist were mere illusions.
Its true form was this barren land formed by the convergence of countless waters.
At this moment, dark yin energy surged, autonomously attacking Ye Guyue.
Yet all were slashed apart by her sword.
She then prepared to cast a spell to collect this barren land.
However, at that moment—
As [Yin Dragon Water] was lifted into the air by Ye Guyue's immense power, a sudden surge of aura erupted from beneath it, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar:
"Roar——!"
In an instant, the winds howled and clouds surged.
The dark clouds that had been cleaved apart by Ye Guyue now rapidly gathered again, transforming into a mighty tidal wave that crashed down with a thunderous roar!
The dragon roared, and auspicious clouds followed!
Ye Guyue raised her embroidered brows slightly, showing no sign of panic.
After all, she had long suspected someone was lurking in the shadows.
Now, seeing someone finally make a move, she even laughed aloud:
"Vile beast, how dare you act so wildly?"
As her words fell, she slashed again!
The sword pill in the air tore out a thousand-mile-long blade of light, falling like a guillotine toward the ground.
In an instant, amidst a deafening silence, the tremendous collision rendered the surroundings eerily quiet.
The ground below seemed to experience a dragon's upheaval, erupting into several massive fissures that spread outward like a spiderweb from the center of their clash.
The clouds dispersed, and the sword light faded.
But in the next moment, both sides converged again and collided once more!
"Boom!"
This strike was even more intense than the last.
Not only did the ground's destruction worsen, but even the sky above was stirred by the violent astral winds generated by the collision.
Yet neither side was willing to stop.
The former, hailing from the Sword Pavilion, prided herself on combat prowess and was once a direct descendant of a Golden Core cultivator—how could she fear?
The latter was also from a noble lineage overseas.
Next moment, the clouds and sword light reappeared!
The two continued clashing dozens of times in succession, shaking heaven and earth.
So much so that even some Foundation Establishment True Persons sensed the commotion but dared not approach.
In the distance, Lü Yang was equally astonished.
He knew very well how strong Ye Guyue was—stronger even than Ye Xingfeng of the past.
He had no certainty of victory against her.
Yet the mysterious opponent could face her head-on without falling behind.
Moreover, they clearly weren't from the Four Great Factions.
Which Golden Core sect's direct disciple could this be?
That said, Lü Yang had no intention of seizing the opportunity to ambush.
Not only that, he even sneered inwardly.
With such a grand commotion, yet no bloodshed for so long, they were clearly fishing for someone to take the bait.
Playing this trick on my Primordial Saint Sect?
You're too naive!
"Boom!"
With a final loud explosion, both sides separated again, standing on opposite sides.
At the same time, Ye Guyue subtly glanced around, pondering to herself:
'No one came to ambush me... seems like there really is no one else here!'
Indeed, though their battle had appeared earth-shattering, they had actually held back, not striking to kill.
It was all to see if anyone else would try to take advantage of the situation.
After all, most people would be tempted seeing such a scene if their concealment was good enough.
Few could resist the urge.
Had anyone attacked earlier, they would have faced a thunderous joint strike from the two of them.
Now that nothing had happened, Ye Guyue felt a bit more at ease.
She then looked again at her opponent, only to see him disperse the clouds, revealing a heroic youth wearing a crown with golden eyes.
The youth bared his teeth in a smile.
Though his appearance was strikingly handsome, he exuded a faintly sinister aura.
His white teeth gleamed coldly against his crimson lips, as if stained with blood.
He looked valiant, yet radiated a primal, bloodthirsty wildness.
"Four Seas Sect, Calamity Manifestation."
In the distance, Lü Yang activated the Celestial Observatory, opening his brow's Dharma Eye to look from afar.
He saw behind the heroic youth a towering, coiling shadow.
It was a true dragon!
Lü Yang quickly calculated with his fingers, instantly grasping the cause and effect:
"So it's the Four Seas Sect, the number one sect overseas.
No wonder they produced such a true dragon!"
Indeed, this [Calamity Manifestation] was a true dragon!
"It is said that the Four Seas Sect has several Golden Core cultivators, including a Dragon King of the true dragon race.
This dragon must be a direct blood descendant of that Dragon King!"
This identity was far more prestigious than an ordinary True Person's descendant.
Unlike humans, dragon bloodlines inherently carried great power.
While human descendants merely benefited from the resources of their ancestor, dragon descendants inherited the divine might of their lineage.
