“You can't escape, just accept your fate. You escaped once before, but I won't make the same low-level mistake again.”
Zheng Hong, a hundred zhang tall, strode through the air like a towering giant, the cylinder on his shoulder imprinted with numerous Dao seals and array patterns.
Yang Zhihua couldn't activate the Domain-Breaking Talisman to escape because the array patterns on the cylinder rendered all talismans useless, like waste paper.
Swish!
Lu Shan transformed into lightning, instantly blocking Yang Zhihua's path, and several Divine Radiance Great Void Lightning beads condensed and shot out rapidly.
Yang Zhihua, wielding a long saber, slashed at the lightning beads, forming a massive Taotie phantom that swallowed the lightning in one gulp.
Rumble!
Violent lightning exploded from within the Taotie's body, instantly destroying the saber light phenomenon, and the sharp saber intent fragmented and dissipated.
Yang Zhihua's body radiated golden light, and golden Dao seals formed a ring-shaped barrier to protect him, spreading outwards.
He raised his long saber again, slashing and hacking repeatedly, the scene before him instantly submerged by the rampaging lightning.
Zheng Hong revealed a look of wild joy, swinging the towering giant pillar and smashing it into the lightning with a fierce gust of wind.
Suddenly, a dozen or so golden saber lights flew out, dividing the violent lightning.
Yang Zhihua, looking slightly disheveled, fought his way out of the lightning, and with a backhand slash, he struck the giant pillar, causing ripples of Daoist magic to spread out in circles.
Lu Shan coldly snorted and transformed into an arc of electricity, meeting him head-on, using lightning magic to bombard Yang Zhihua powerfully.
The three of them fought fiercely, weaving and darting through the heavens and earth.
The two-on-one situation put Yang Zhihua at a disadvantage.
If it were just Lu Shan alone, Yang Zhihua was confident in defeating him in a one-on-one fight, but with the addition of Zheng Hong, whose strength was not weaker than Lu Shan, the difficulty of victory increased sharply.
He could be one hundred percent certain that this Zheng Hong was not currently a Holy Land direct disciple, but he would definitely become one in the future.
If it was someone from the Vast Expanse Holy Land, why didn't they come in directly?
“There should be someone he knows on the periphery of the forbidden zone, but not a disciple of the Vast Expanse Holy Land. We absolutely can't let him get out!”
Zheng Hong transmitted his true energy.
Although they didn't know if their guess was correct, it was always better to be careful.
Lu Shan's figure was as swift as lightning, and he used the same trick again to kill Yang Zhihua, urging his secret techniques and Daoist magic.
Rumble!
The lightning within the forbidden zone seemed to be responding to his call, and countless electric arcs surged out of the void, condensing into a fierce beast, a Kui Bull phantom, in front of him.
The lightning Kui Bull roared to the sky, the thunder shook the heavens, and it charged towards Yang Zhihua, leaving behind a dazzling river of lightning in its wake.
Yang Zhihua's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and after glancing at the information in the group, he gritted his teeth and swallowed an elixir.
Boom!
The medicinal effect dissipated within his body, and Yang Zhihua's body suddenly shone with golden light, a phantom of a large bell enveloping his entire body.
His hair gradually turned white, and his cultivation aura climbed layer by layer.
“If I can survive, today's events will not be left at that.”
The Kui Bull crashed into his large bell phantom with a 'bang,' and the loud sound of the bell vibrated and echoed.
Buzz!
Lu Shan and Zheng Hong were simultaneously shocked by the bell sound, and their brains went blank for a short time.
When they regained their senses, the Kui Bull phantom had already exploded into Daoist magic light spots under the sound waves of the bell.
Yang Zhihua rushed out of the Thunder Wasteland Forbidden Zone like a streak of golden light, entering the outer area.
The two immediately moved their bodies, catching up at the fastest speed.
It could be clearly seen that Yang Zhihua was already at the end of his rope. The previous strike was an impromptu burst with the aid of the elixir, which must have had great side effects.
This was the moment of Yang Zhihua's weakness, and they only needed to catch up to successfully kill him.
Bang!
Yang Zhihua flew out of the forbidden zone for hundreds of miles, and finally crashed into the mountains and forests in a sorry state, creating a long and deep gully.
He lay on the ground, barely breathing, his limbs weak, and even raising his hand was extremely difficult. The true energy in his body was almost exhausted, and he could only barely stop the blood loss.
“Heh, truly a dying struggle. What's the point of escaping to such a distant place?”
Zheng Hong, a hundred zhang tall, descended from the sky, sneering, “I thought you had helpers, but this is it? Want to rely on the burst of an elixir to escape? Or is it to live a little longer, hoping for a miracle to happen?”
“Stop talking nonsense, just kill him and take the treasure, lest something goes wrong,” Lu Shan said with a serious face.
“Understood.”
Zheng Hong raised the giant pillar and smashed it down on Yang Zhihua without mercy.
Boom—
The earth trembled, and the fierce wind blew, causing the surrounding trees to sway.
Zheng Hong's expression froze slightly, realizing that the feeling of the smash was not quite right, and he looked at the giant pillar after swinging it up.
He saw a slender young man standing in front of Yang Zhihua, wearing a mask with strange patterns on his face.
The previous bombardment of the giant pillar was blocked by the person in front of him.
“There really is a helper? Are you planning to die with Yang Zhihua?” Zheng Hong said with a surging killing intent.
Lu Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, blue and white electric arcs flashing on his body, ready to strike at any time.
The masked youth ignored the two, but turned around and said, “Are you alright? You look like you're in bad shape.”
“Daoist Changsheng?”
Yang Zhihua was stunned for a moment, then grinned and smiled weakly, “You've finally come... I'm not in too much trouble, it's just the side effects of the elixir.”
“Eating some natural treasures can make up for it. These two are not simple, can you handle them?”
“It should be fine, you wait here.”
Chen Changsheng casually threw down a few array flags, raising a fifth-grade defensive array to envelop Yang Zhihua.
Lu Shan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, “Even direct disciples of the Holy Land have been defeated by us, where does your confidence come from?”
Seemingly provocative words were actually a test.
He and Zheng Hong had not been able to see through Chen Changsheng's cultivation realm, and the other party's composure made them a little nervous, so they did not attack immediately.
Chen Changsheng turned his head and said indifferently, “Regardless of your grievances, I want to protect him today, please leave.”
“Leave? Do you know that he and I have a blood feud?” Zheng Hong shouted sharply.
Yang Zhihua sneered disdainfully within the array: “The struggle for opportunities is inherently a matter of life and death. Countless people died at the time, and I don't even know which one was your brother.”
“No matter what, that is a blood feud!” Zheng Hong said with a flushed face, “Putting aside the facts, and taking a step back, don't you think you are at fault at all?”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Chen Changsheng and Yang Zhihua being stunned on the spot, even Lu Shan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
What kind of words are you saying?
What reason is there for the losing party to talk about? The struggle for opportunities is either you die or I die. It's better to just say that a life for a life is right. The killing in the cultivation world is like this. In the end, the competition is about whose fist is harder and whose background is bigger.
“Stop talking nonsense, attack directly!”
Lu Shan shouted violently, lightning surged around him, and he raised his hand to shoot out a dozen or so lightning beads.
