Chapter 279.1: The Second Monster Spirit King (2/2)

This was Lu Yun’s second personal sword technique. As the original that the technique was based on, Beigong Yu could naturally master it. In fact, the technique was even more powerful in his hands.

“That’s Lu Yun’s sword technique,” Donglin Shaohui shrieked. “You’re Lu Yun’s man!!”

As House Donglin’s enemy, they’d studied all of Lu Yun’s combat arts and techniques. Therefore, he’d recognized the technique the moment the divine bird used it.

Wham!

A massive kunpeng body slammed into him, forcing out a mouthful of blood and the almost complete expulsion of the spirit he’d attached to the bamboo.

Clang!

Aoxue shifted, sweeping her giant halberd at Donglin Shaohui and knocking him off his feet. If the embittered bamboo replica hadn’t been as sturdy as it was, the attack would’ve bisected him at the waist.

Donglin Shaohui snarled furiously, but didn’t have a chance when confronted with a concerted attack from two powerful experts. Beigong Yu and Aoxue together made a formidable team; however, the blood dragon had also caught Donglin Shaohui off guard. If he’d reacted in time and managed a counterattack, he would’ve easily killed Aoxue, whose cultivation was inferior. Even though she’d tapped into the power of a blood dragon, she was no match for Donglin Shaohui in a head-on fight.

A replica of Embittered Bamboo was too powerful!

Rabat arts and battle techniques with abandon, scattering the great combat art Donglin Shaohui was planning to use.

Aoxue was an unrivalled genius in close quarters combat. Even with an embittered bamboo replica, Donglin Shaohui still found himself struggling.

The blood dragon and kunpeng fought together with Beigong Yu taking the lead, clashing head-on with Donglin Shaohui and meeting the embittered bamboo with his enormous kunpeng body. Meanwhile, Aoxue utilized her wealth of experience and sophisticated draconic combat arts to parry Donglin Shaohui’s attacks, blocking his escape routes at the same time.

……

Many immortals in Tidewatcher City kept an eye on the epic battle. However, they hesitated to approach the city since it was the territory of the tyrannical Monster God.

“Wait, it’s not the Monster God who’s fighting. The power ripples are coming from peerless immortals!”

“Some peerless immortals are making a move against the Monster God?!” Many snapped to attention.

“I heard that Marquis Kun of the North Sea court is paying the Monster God a visit… so why is there a battle between peerless immortals?”

The little fox didn’t have a strong foundation on Levitating Island, but she knew well the art of intimidation. Anyone who dared challenge her quickly suffered a harsh and brutal end. Therefore, though there was a great fight raging in the city, everyone gave it a wide berth lest they attract the Monster God’s ire. Even the other local overlords on the outskirts of the island kept their distance.

House Donglin territory.

“Shao… Shaohui’s in trouble!” An elderly man shot to his feet with a rapidly shifting expression. “The Monster God’s taken the cosmic constitution back to his palace, and now Shaohui is under attack in Tidewatcher City. Is this a plot against House Donglin?”

There was a hard glint in his gaze as he looked in the direction of the city. “A strange divine beast and a crimson dragon… and they’re overpowering Shaohui?!” Sword energy built beneath him before taking him to the city.
