The sword light, like a thunderbolt, sliced through the air, landing directly in front of Yang Qianyan in an instant without him sensing it.
Bang.
With a crisp sound, Yang Qianyan’s arm fell straight to the ground.
In the air, the cold figure had its gaze locked onto Yang Chengyin.
"Yang Chengyin, I didn’t expect you to be here."
Yang Chengyin looked at Long Xuan in the air and smiled, "I also didn’t expect you to return here."
Long Xuan squinted and questioned, "So, the figure I was tracking was a decoy you deliberately set up."
Yang Chengyin smiled, "Otherwise? If I didn’t purposely show so flaws, how could I lure you away to another place? But I’m also curious, what exactly makes you rush here. These people can’t all be your friends, right?"
"If I said they were friends, would you believe ?"
Yang Chengyin’s lips curved slightly, clearly not believing Long Xuan’s words in the slightest.
"Geniuses are all lonely. Even soone like Su Zhedian has had few friends in his lifeti. Would you have any? Don’t joke."
Long Xuan blinked and looked ahead calmly, "What about you?"
Yang Chengyin grinned but had no intention of answering Long Xuan’s question.
Fortunately, Long Xuan didn’t care much for the answer. He just intended to irk Yang Chengyin, who had deceived him, with this question. After glancing down at Bei Tang Qian Xiao and the others, Long Xuan spoke calmly, "I wouldn’t say they’re friends. From a certain perspective, so of them are indeed my juniors. An elder I owed a debt to once told to look after them a little."
Yang Chengyin frowned, still sowhat incredulous, "You ca here just for that reason, giving up the chance to pursue ?"
Long Xuan blinked, "That’s sothing you don’t need to know."
Every word of Long Xuan was sincere. It was true that Qingxu Zi had instructed him to look after other Earth Core Lotus holders, and he had co here largely because of one word from Ye Qingci.
Although he didn’t know much about No. 2, the person clearly knew more about this Southern Xinjiang incident than he did. The fact that the other party voluntarily shared information was sothing even Long Xuan had to consider seriously.
Therefore, even though there was a chance to pursue Yang Chengyin, Long Xuan decisively chose to give it up, heading over here imdiately.
After all, in Long Xuan’s view, even if the other party was Yang Chengyin, he could definitely be found; it was just a matter of ti.
And when a person dies, they are truly dead.
"What bold words, worthy of the most outstanding figure of the current young generation. In my day, even I didn’t have your pride."
"You’re no better than Su Zhedian."
Even though he had never seen the two in their pri, Long Xuan spoke candidly.
This statent, for the first ti, caused a ripple in the normally composed Yang Chengyin.
But just for a mont, Yang Chengyin suppressed this emotional fluctuation, squinting at Long Xuan.
"Long Xuan, do you truly think I needed to lure you away, believing that you now have the strength to contend with ?"
Not directly answering Yang Chengyin’s question, Long Xuan calmly observed Yang Chengyin who was no longer disguising his true self, and said, "There are three realms of the Earth Immortal: Divine Entry, Seeking Dao, and Ascension. Conventionally, the Ascension Realm doesn’t exist. Theoretically, after becoming an Ascension Realm cultivator, even forcibly suppressing the realm would trigger the Heaven’s Gate. After the Heavenly Tribulation, succeeding leads to feathered ascension, but failing results in falling even to the extent of being obliterated."
"Indeed, currently there’s an Ascension Realm existence thanks to that old bastard completely sealing the Heaven’s Gate. Honestly, even now, I don’t understand how that old guy managed it. At least, he’s dead; otherwise, I fear I’d never escape that prison called the Capital City."
Ignoring Yang Chengyin’s words, Long Xuan continued, "I’m indeed not yet in the Ascension Realm; defeating you won’t be easy, but you won’t be able to defeat either."
As his words fell, the Three Talents Sword of Mount Longhu was instantly summoned behind him.
Drive Tiger, Swallow Wolf, Killing Star.
These three legendary Secret Treasures of Mount Longhu had undergone a trendous transformation now that Long Xuan had beco an Earth Immortal.
Drive Tiger was enveloped in flas, Swallow Wolf was flickering with thunder.
The one bearing the greatest killing power, standing at the forefront, was Killing Star, fully ford by a mass of Red Lotus Divine Fire so crimson it resembled blood.
The sword’s body had vanished completely; this new Killing Star ford by the Red Lotus Divine Fire posed a threat several tis greater than before.
"Is this the... Red Lotus Divine Fire at the Earth Immortal level?"
Since Long Xuan’s appearance, Bei Tang Qian Xiao finally spoke for the first ti. Looking at the Red Lotus Divine Fire glowing red in front of Long Xuan, she clearly sensed sothing different. Many unresolved questions were answered, the bottleneck that had long trapped her in the Nascent Soul Realm was easily unraveled at this mont.
If she didn’t know she had no opportunity to undergo Tribulation at this mont, in the next instant, Bei Tang Qian Xiao would have broken through and smoothly entered the Hollow Vacuum.
"Proceed according to your original plan, go find Yu Shuang and rescue Yu Yanshu."
Xu Nanzhi heard Long Xuan’s stern tone in her mind, after which she frowned, glanced at the battlefield, clearly a bit worried.
Long Xuan’s strength was naturally sothing she couldn’t question, but at this mont, Long Xuan was facing Yang Chengyin, the man standing at the top of the world, who hadn’t surrendered to anyone even after joining the Demonic Path.
However, understanding that even if she didn’t feel assured about Long Xuan, there was nothing she could do, Xu Nanzhi turned around without a word and headed directly towards where Yu Shuang was.
In the distance, the one-ard Yang Qianxing and Mo Ningchen instantly wanted to chase after, but in the next second, Swallow Wolf surrounded by thunder and Drive Tiger coated in flas suddenly appeared before them.
"Don’t think that with Yang Chengyin here, you can save yourselves. Within my sword domain, one step forward ans death."
Long Xuan spoke dominantly, halting the pair’s actions, then quickly turned his head to look around.
At this mont, Long Xuan’s sword domain practically encompassed half of Southern Xinjiang!
"Long Xuan, do you know why I haven’t been in a hurry to make a move?"
Allowing Xu Nanzhi and Bei Tang Qian Xiao to leave, watching Long Xuan deter Yang Qianxing and others, Yang Chengyin finally acted at this mont.
"You want to turn ? Give up, there’s no chance."
Yang Chengyin chuckled lightly, "I’m not foolish; I know that soone like you wouldn’t be swayed by re words. You only walk the path you’ve chosen. Even if it’s paved by others, you wouldn’t look at it twice, right?"
Long Xuan frowned, sensing sothing was amiss, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Nothing, I just find it all too similar. Today, you are exactly like I was back then. As confident as to arrogance, looking up to no one but yourself. Yet... being surpassed by others, falling behind."
