Chapter 130: Disciple, Sword Son? Lu Ming, Long Aotian, Gu Yue, Nine Deaths, One Life! (Part 2)
But...
After he consumes that Toadflax, things might change.
"For now, I'll endure."
Gu Yue Fangyuan reminded herself.
...
"Damn it!"
A group of Feather Clan powerhouses looked displeased.
They briefly paused to receive information from their 'informant,' but it seemed they were a step too late.
According to rumors, the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty's Seventh Princess had disregarded her reputation and spent half the night with Long Aotian. They were discovered not long ago, and Long Aotian has since escaped, his whereabouts currently unknown."
"In other words, even if we rush to the Imperial Capital in the Southwest right now, we'd have a hard time finding Long Aotian's trail!"
"We're too late again!"
The Feather Clan powerhouses walked in the vicinity of the Imperial Capital in the Southwest, naturally all in human form.
At this moment, they were all furious.
"Right, what about that mysterious person's identity?"
"Nonsense, he blew himself up at the Heaven's Pride Grand Gathering and said his name was Gu Yue Fangyuan."
"Gu Yue... Fangyuan?"
A Feather Clan powerhouse looked at each other, puzzled: "I've never heard of this name."
"Whoever he is, if we meet him, we'll cut him down and annihilate both his body and soul!" a dark-faced one coldly scoffed.
"After chasing for years, not only have we failed to catch and kill Long Aotian, but he's become even more domineering. If someone didn't know better, they'd think we're incompetent!"
"Hmph..."
"You're not incompetent, you're low-ability!"
Suddenly, several figures appeared.
"People from the Imperial Capital?"
The Feather Clan powerhouses frowned: "Are you looking for death?"
"We Feather Clan have no business with you people from the Imperial Capital. How dare you talk nonsense here!"
"Just a coincidence."
The powerhouses from the Imperial Capital and the Seventh Princess's two Protectors appeared. The former sneered: "You didn't set up a soundproof barrier."
"We were just randomly teleporting, trying to use our Divine Sense to search for Long Aotian's trail, but we didn't expect to overhear your conversation."
"Forgive my frankness."
"It's not that I'm targeting you wet eggs with your fur and scales, but you, as the dignified Feather Clan, have been humiliated for years after the third and second Holy Sons and several powerhouses were killed."
"But Long Aotian is still at large until now. Besides being low-ability, I really can't think of any other words or phrases."
"How dare you!"
The Feather Clan powerhouses were all furious.
But just at this moment...
The dark-faced Demon suddenly changed his expression slightly: "Hmm?"
"Something's wrong!"
"Immediately conceal your aura and hide your presence. They're coming!"
"Recall your Divine Sense too. Long Aotian has special means to sense your Divine Sense, but only I have a treasure to protect myself from being detected by him."
All the Demons and powerhouses were startled, and they immediately concealed their auras and hid their presence, even recalling their Divine Sense into their Sea of Consciousness.
One of the Protectors was puzzled: "Them? Who?"
"Long Aotian?"
"Who else?" The other Protector, 'Big Brother', looked at his younger brother, speechless.
"But... I never thought it would be such a coincidence?"
"Their time is up!" The dark-faced Demon coldly laughed: "They haven't discovered our presence yet, and they're heading in our direction."
"They'll be here in the time it takes to brew tea."
"Spread out and set up the sealing formation, but don't activate it to avoid detection."
"Once they enter the formation, we'll do our best to kill them..."
"But, there's one extra person?"
As he hesitated, he used his Demon Energy to sketch the third person's appearance in the air.
"Oh? Lu Ming?"
The Imperial Capital powerhouse immediately recognized the third person: "This person, is he colluding with Long Aotian?"
"Whoever he is, let's kill him!"
"No more talk."
The dark-faced Demon rebuked: "We Demons aren't skilled in esoteric techniques. Setting up formations is your specialty, humans. Why are you still here? Since our goal is the same, hurry up and set the formation."
The Imperial Capital powerhouses frowned: "Do we have to take orders from you Demons?"
They were indignant.
What does Long Aotian have to do with them?
They were just giving the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty some face.
After all, no matter what, that Seventh Princess had caused some trouble in their territory, even if there was an intentional component on her part. But it wouldn't sound good if it got out.
So, the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty sent sixteen powerhouses in four groups to try to find and apprehend Long Aotian.
It was just following orders.
Now, they were being bossed around by a group of Demons, and they naturally weren't happy about it.
But considering the task at hand, they could only endure for the time being: "Hmph."
"Setting up the formation is our own idea, it has nothing to do with you."
They dispersed to set up the formation.
The Demons also hid their presence, some showing their heads while others their tails, scattering in different directions.
However, the Seventh Princess's two Protectors were hesitant.
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
"The people from the Imperial Capital are just assisting in the capture. How to deal with Long Aotian is still up to us brothers. But those Demons will definitely not hold back."
"Even if they don't kill him immediately, they will certainly take Long Aotian back to the Feather Clan and torture him to death. But the Young Master's request is for us brothers to bring Long Aotian back..."
"What else can we do?"
Big Brother's expression grew colder: "Bringing him back is naturally the best option."
"But given the current situation, wanting to bring him back is unrealistic."
"Since we can't get him, we'll destroy him."
"Kill him if we can."
"We must not hold back!"
"I'll listen to you." The younger brother nodded.
...
"I feel something is off."
Gu Yue Fangyuan stopped and looked towards the distant forest with a frown: "I feel uneasy."
"There's no other way."
Lu Ming spread his hands: "I've said it before, there's no absolutely safe place, after all..."
"The powerful enemies you've provoked are not few, and they all have super-large backing."
Gu Yue Fangyuan fell silent.
These words were truly unsettling.
Long Aotian chuckled disdainfully, "Gu Yue, your courage seems to be dwindling."
"It's just a minor crisis. We'll kill our way through."
"If you're scared, stay back and watch my performance!"
"Who's scared?"
Gu Yue Fangyuan huffed, "I'm just reminding you to be careful, that's all!"
"Careful?"
Long Aotian chuckled again, "Have you been shamelessly sticking to me for over two years now?"
"Then tell me, when has there been a single day where I've lived peacefully, or a day where I haven't fought?"
"And on which day, against which enemies, have I been subdued?"
"In this life of mine, I'm destined for unrest. Wherever I go, I fight, and wherever I fight, I subdue!"
"If you're scared, you shouldn't have followed me."
Gu Yue Fangyuan remained silent.
Not follow him?
That won't do.
She had been shamelessly sticking by Long Aotian's side all this time, and it was all because of the constant battles. Every day, there was a small skirmish, and every three days, a major one. Each time, the people they killed...
They were all her precious treasures!
But it couldn't be denied that while Long Aotian boasted, what he said was indeed true.
She had never lived peacefully.
Thinking of this, Gu Yue Fangyuan no longer felt worried.
After all, this was how they had been living for over two years, and even if she felt some unease, it was only her.
Long Aotian should be able to handle this.
With that, what was there to fear?
"Strange."
Gu Yue Fangyuan's heart whispered in confusion, "Why am I expressing concern and fear several times today? This..."
"Could it be because of this person?"
His peripheral vision caught Lu Ming, and his brows furrowed.
"Let's go!"
Long Aotian didn't give him time to think, and he coldly smiled, "I can sense some danger in this forest, but so what?"
"Knowing there's a tiger on the mountain, I still head towards it!"
"And after defeating the tiger, eating its meat, that's what I do!"
"You two follow behind me, and watch as I subdue all enemies!"
He took the lead.
Lu Ming followed in second.
Gu Yue Fangyuan always felt that Lu Ming was suspicious, so she stayed at the back.
With this arrangement...
At least she didn't have to worry about Lu Ming launching a surprise attack and stabbing her.
This way, it would be slightly safer.
Lu Ming's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was extremely active, "It's a good thing I'm clever and predicted that they would have 'Spiritual Awareness' or something, so I said there was danger from the start."
"Otherwise, if I said there was no danger and this place was safe..."
"By now, we would have been exposed, right?"
"But..."
"Long Brother, you need to give it your all."
"As the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives. Well, if I can't, I need to give a reminder."
"Long Brother."
Lu Ming suddenly spoke up, "To be honest, we're just acquaintances, not close friends..."
"What are you trying to say?"
Long Aotian asked in return.
"I'm saying, when disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives."
"If there's danger later, don't worry about me. Just escape on your own."
"I believe I have some abilities, and if I can't escape, then it's my fate. Don't lose your life for someone unrelated like me."
"Furthermore..."
"In my opinion, this is also a test. Facing the same crisis, whoever survives becomes the winner."
Lu Ming's words pleased Long Aotian, and he laughed heartily, "You're an interesting person. Good, I like you!"
"So straightforward and fearless, and with such a self-improving spirit, you're ten times better than that good-for-nothing Gu Yue!"
"But don't overestimate yourself."
"If it's truly a crisis that even I find difficult to handle, of course, you should prioritize escaping with your life."
"Actually, I'm also quite curious..."
"What exactly did I do that made you mistake me for the kind of saint who would sacrifice my life for someone unrelated?"
"It's not just unrelated, even if we were close, so what? If he dies, he dies. As long as I'm alive, one day I'll avenge him and solve everything!"
"Then I'm relieved." Lu Ming smiled and nodded.
Afraid I'll save you?
I'm afraid of nothing.
I'm afraid you'll rush to save Gu Yue Fangyuan with an unclear mind!
You can escape boldly, but Gu Yue...
Must stay!
They entered the forest.
The formation activated.
In an instant, a pale golden light screen enveloped the area, trapping the three of them within.
At the same time, the light screen rapidly contracted, as if intending to confine them in place, unable to move, in just a moment.
"There's truly danger!" Lu Ming whispered.
As if prepared for this.
With these words, Gu Yue Fangyuan couldn't find any flaws.
Long Aotian laughed heartily, "It's just a hidden danger, and they want to trap me here. Watch me break through with a punch!"
"Witness my might!"
Boom! At this moment, he unleashed his power, and a divine light instantly spread from his body, making him seem like a divine warrior in armor, incredibly imposing.
It was in this instant that he took a big step forward, and his eyes also shone with divine light, resembling the sun.
"The final move of the Heaven Dominating Boundless Fist!"
"Heaven Dominating Boundless Fist!"
Facing the contracting light screen, he laughed wildly, and his fist erupted with an indescribable might, twisting, shattering, and collapsing the space.
"Break!"
Bang...
The golden light screen rippled and distorted, nearly shattering.
But...
In the end, it stabilized!
It wasn't broken, and instead, it contracted even faster.
Long Aotian's expression changed slightly.
Gu Yue Fangyuan's scalp tingled, "Is this what you call relatively safe?"
Lu Ming's expression turned solemn, "I'm also facing this danger, and we have no grudges with you. Why harm us?"
"Even if you harm them, why would you put yourself at risk?"
Gu Yue Fangyuan was taken aback and couldn't refute, so she could only coldly harrumph, "We'll fight together!"
He directly used one of his trump cards, summoning the Demon Toadflax that hadn't fully recovered yet. Several large demons, whose bodies were refined from the corpses of other demons, pounced towards the light barrier.
Long Aotian was furious.
Just a moment ago, he was showing off, thinking he had broken through the light barrier, but the next moment, he got slapped in the face? How dare they!
Long Aotian attacked again, even more ferocious and domineering.
Lu Ming wasn't idle either. At this moment, he had to make a move, at least to put on a show.
Actually...
Lu Ming wasn't sure if he could defeat Long Aotian, but Gu Yue, he had some confidence.
As the protagonist template with Heaven's Chosen, defeating Long Aotian was easy, but killing him would be a thousand times more difficult. Moreover, after killing him, there might be more trouble, so it's best to borrow the hands of others.
It would also be more secure.
"Jianzi."
Lu Ming drew his sword, unleashing a stunning sword light with his move, aiming to break the array formation with their combined efforts.
However...
It was still useless!
Even with the three of them working together, they still couldn't break the formation. Just then, nearly twenty figures appeared within the formation.
"Chao!"
Gu Yue Fangyuan's face turned green instantly, "They're all Great Abilities, and that black-faced demon is even an Eighth Realm old monster from the Feather Clan. Tell me, is this a relatively safe place??"
"What? An Eighth Realm Great Ability?!"
Lu Ming was shocked.
Damn, Long Aotian is indeed formidable! With an Eighth Realm Great Ability leading nearly twenty Seventh Realm Great Abilities in an encirclement, they still have a glimmer of hope? No wonder Long Aotian is so formidable; one can't help but be impressed.
"Don't waste words."
Long Aotian's face turned gloomy, "We've fallen into a trap, Lu Ming. I want you to give me a straight answer, are you really one of their people?"
"This... I really am not."
Lu Ming immediately raised his hand and even made a Dao Heart Oath, "If I am their arranged person, may my Dao Heart collapse and perish."
"Good."
Long Aotian nodded, "Since that's the case, I naturally trust you. Together, let's charge out of here!"
"Today, it's probably more danger than fortune." Lu Ming replied, "Each to their own fate."
"Hahaha, good!"
"After a battle, each to their own fate. This is also a contest among us Talents."
"Gu Yue, don't waste words now. At this moment, regardless of the reason or the outcome, if we don't fight our way out, there's only a dead end."
After saying this, Long Aotian completely unleashed his power and stopped talking.
He also felt the threat and fear of death.
He was indeed powerful, and by now, defeating Seventh Realm Great Abilities wasn't considered difficult.
But with nearly twenty Great Abilities present, and even an Eighth Realm Great Ability leading the charge, they were trapped within the formation. Escaping alive would be difficult.
...
"Hmph, Long Aotian, you have your day too?"
The black-faced demon's voice gradually transformed, and in an instant, it turned into its true form—a colorful blackbird, a five-colored blackbird.
It was thousands of zhang long.
Just by perching there, it exuded an astonishing oppressive aura.
The other demons also revealed their true forms, all of them being the 'Clan Members' of the Feather Clan, staring at them with murderous intent.
"We will also make our move."
The Imperial Capital Great Ability and Princess Qi's Protector also made their move at this moment.
Although their hatred wasn't as deep as the Feather Clan's, they weren't willing to stand idly by and watch. Even if it's just for the sake of pride, they had to fight.
Boom...
Buzz...
Crack!
Various attacks came one after another, and the world had already changed color. Countless mysterious lights danced in the sky, and an unknown number of fates' breaths were rippling, causing even the Dao Principles to become chaotic.
Nearly twenty Seventh Realm Great Abilities and one Eighth Realm Great Ability attacked simultaneously, targeting the three 'youngsters'. This terrifying scene was almost equivalent to the destruction of the world and the arrival of doomsday! At this moment, all three of them had stopped their attacks.
Only by surviving this strike would they have a glimmer of hope.
"Seek your own fortune."
Long Aotian whispered, and his figure became ethereal.
Lu Ming frowned, transforming his body into sword light, but it wasn't enough. He took a deep breath and used the 'skills' shared by Ya Ya.
"One Thought Flower Blossom..."
In front of Long Aotian and the others, Xiao Ling'er's skills couldn't be used, as they would be discovered.
Therefore, he could only use the skills of other disciples.
Currently, the strongest ones were Ya Ya's skills.
Although her realm was still low, in Lu Ming's hands, they were a hundred times more powerful!
One by one, 'Immortal Flowers' bloomed, and from within the flower cores, one Lu Ming after another emerged, although they were just incarnations and far inferior to the Hundred Venerables in strength. But with over a hundred Lu Mings performing sword techniques, it was still extraordinary.
"Damn it!"
"Bastards!"
Gu Yue Fangyuan's expression turned gloomy, and she could only control the Demon Toadflax to return. Then, she swallowed one Demon Toadflax after another, like a Matryoshka Doll, using one to swallow the other, to defend against this round of destruction.
Boom!
Finally, the attacks reached their bodies.
Almost instantly, everything in this area was blasted and obliterated.
The Demon Toadflax collapsed and shattered...
The sword light cracked inch by inch.
Long Aotian's divine shadow flickered...
In the end, Gu Yue Fangyuan panted continuously, Lu Ming had bloodstains on the corners of his mouth, and Long Aotian's eyes shone with divine light, his battle intent soaring.
"This is bad!"
Gu Yue Fangyuan whispered, "If we continue like this, we will surely die next time. I have a plan."
"Shut up!"
Long Aotian was very resistant to this, telling her to shut up.
