Chapter 716: Certified King of Scapegoats (1/2)

The dark cyan sword encompassed thousands of sword dao combat arts, such as Vast Dragon Seaturner, Peng of Kun, Starstream Stroke, and Endless Cosmic Ocean, all of which served as the main structure of Lu Yun’s sword dao.

Sword dao was a standalone path just like equipment, pill, formation, and talisman dao. Unlike the four supplemental paths, however, sword dao was the way of slaughter.

The area flooded with a vicious killing intent as soon as Lu Yun employed his sword dao. Upon reuniting with its jewel, the Sugato Sword was now complete and had even fostered a weapon spirit, allowing Lu Yun to tap into its true power by burning immortal crystals.

Jiang Chen went white as a sheet. His consciousness ground to a halt in the face of such enormous pressure, like an ant waiting to be trampled underfoot. All of the Corpse Refiners accompanying him had been annihilated into ashes.

Combat arts imbued with the power of the Sugato Sword were terrifying, enough to scare dao immortals witless, even if they weren’t in the central world.

Bam!

A crackling sound traveled through the air as an enormous seal descended from the firmament and smashed into the dark cyan sword image, knocking it slightly askew. Jiang Chen seized the opening to make a panicked escape, vanishing without a trace.

Lu Yun jerked his head up at the faint figure hovering in the air. Sheathing the Sugato Sword, he asked in an indifferent voice, “Fangyang Xing, do you represent the Fangyang Clan or the Green Firmament on this trip?”

“Is there a difference?” Fangyang Xing shook his head and disappeared with a turn.

Lu Yun narrowed his eyes before checking on the Lin brothers. “Are you alright?”

“We are.” Lin Yu panted and got to his feet. “Unfortunately, the old zombie seized the altar we occupied!”

Dusk Province had come into her own and boasted quite the host of immortals now. The Lu, Qing, Chen, Xue, and even Yin Clans had officially joined Dusk as subordinate factions after Lu Yun acquired the projection of the Dao Flower. Immortals from all five clans had followed the Lin brothers to the central world this time.

Other than the void-ascended immortals, all Dusk immortals under the dao immortal realm had gained great strength after incorporating a formation of heaven and earth. The Dusk contingent had occupied an altar not long after their arrival, but before they could find a sacrifice to activate the altar, they were defeated by Jiang Chen and his entourage of Corpse Refiners.

Given the liberal scattering of tombs and burial mounds in the central world, it was the perfect battleground for Corpse Refiners. There were endless zombies buried here that they could enthrall. Zombies transformed from primordial immortals were tremendously powerful. Despite having incorporated a formation of heaven and earth, the Dusk immortals weren’t their match. Playing a key role in their defeat was Jiang Chen, who swept the floor as soon as he made a move.

“I understand.” Lu Yun nodded after Lin Yu’s briefing.

“Shall we go back and reclaim the altar?” Lin Xuan asked urgently. He couldn’t let the defeat slide. If Jiang Chen hadn’t shattered the formations set up by him and his brother, they wouldn’t have lost to the Corpse Refiners and their zombies.

Lin Xuan’s understanding of feng shui allowed him to counter zombies, which, however, all became useless once Jiang Chen stepped in. There seemed to be a tremendous forcefield around the old zombie that sent any zombies within its zone into a strange frenzy. Not even Lin Xuan’s feng shui layouts could deal with them in that state.

Now that Lu Yun had come and easily defeated Jiang Chen, Lin Xuan and Lin Yu wanted nothing but to retaliate.
