Chapter 876: Late Stage!

Luo Ling stared fixedly at Gui Yingjun.

As soon as the words fell, his palm suddenly struck out.

The space surrounding Gui Yingjun suddenly collapsed, and a terrifying force of spatial distortion instantly enveloped him.

Sensing the power of this strike, Wen Tiansheng and some of the Great Vehicle Stage cultivators in the crowd all turned grave.

In this strike, they felt a lethal threat.

If this strike were aimed at them.

They would have no confidence in being able to take it.

However, this strike of astonishing power.

When it enveloped Gui Yingjun, Gui Yingjun did not have the slightest intention of resisting, directly taking the strike head-on with his physical body.

Once the surrounding space recovered, the force of spatial pulling vanished.

Gui Yingjun was still standing in place, perfectly fine, without a single scratch appearing on his entire body.

"How is this possible!"

Seeing this scene, Luo Ling widened his eyes.

He already possessed Great Vehicle Mid-Stage cultivation, and he had the Protective Sect Array helping to suppress this old fellow's cultivation.

Under such circumstances, a full-strength strike, yet the opponent had not made the slightest defense and had blocked the strike with his physical body alone!

How could this be?

Gui Yingjun scanned Luo Ling's shock-filled face with a smile for a moment.

"The power of this strike is not bad."

"It is a pity that if you want to hurt me, you are still far from it."

"Since you have heard of my reputation, you should surely know what I am best at?"

Hearing this, Luo Ling's expression tightened, and his face became increasingly unsightly.

Legend had it that this old thing was best at defense, and the strength of his defense was such that cultivators of the same level could not damage him in the slightest.

It could be called an absolute defense among those of the same level.

He had naturally heard of this point.

But which of the cultivators who could reach the Great Vehicle Stage was not a genius among geniuses?

How could they think themselves inferior to others?

Not to mention that the opponent was only an avatar?

Yet reality slapped him hard in the face.

He truly could not break the opponent's defense!

This old fellow was indeed as formidable as the legends said, perhaps even more so!

Thinking of this.

His expression became grave.

Reason told him.

This old thing's strength was too great; it was not appropriate for the Youyun Holy Land to completely tear its face with the Beast Taming Sect.

But as a man.

Encountering such a thing, how could he remain rational?

He pressed his ten fingers together, and the finger seals changed once more.

The Spiritual Power Light Curtain shrouding this world suddenly glowed with even more dazzling Spirit Light.

This Formation seemed to have come alive, releasing an astonishing murderous intent.

Sensing this tyrannical energy, Gui Yingjun's expression became serious, "Little brat, you have actually completely activated the Protective Sect Array."

"What? Do you really intend to start a war with my Beast Taming Sect?"

Luo Ling's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Wang Jianqiang and Xuan Ji.

Seeing the two standing closely together, hand in hand.

The blood-red color in his eyes became even more intense, "What if we start a war?"

Hearing this, Gui Yingjun slowly straightened his hunched figure, and within his thin, small body.

A tyrannical power, like a lion just waking from sleep, slowly leaked out.

As this tyrannical aura permeated the area, the operation of the Youyun Holy Land's Protective Sect Array even stalled for an instant.

A strong sense of oppression instantly appeared in the hearts of everyone present.

Even Luo Ling felt a sense of oppression.

That was the oppression of cultivation.

"You have actually reached the Great Vehicle Late Stage!"

After sensing this aura, a look of shock appeared on Luo Ling's face.

At the same time.

Among the crowd present, many also widened their eyes.

This person was not only powerful in offensive strength, but his defensive power was also invincible.

According to rumors.

When he was at the Great Vehicle Mid-Stage, he had already caused all the top powerhouses in Youzhou to have headaches but be helpless.

Now that his cultivation had reached the Great Vehicle Late Stage.

How strong must his combat power be? To what degree must his defensive power be terrifying?

At this moment, Luo Ling suddenly became much calmer.

The speed at which the Array was being activated slowed down.

At the same time.

A voice suddenly reached his mind.

His brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he stopped continuing to stimulate the power of the Array.

Seeing the power of the Youyun Holy Land Protective Sect Array return to stability, Gui Yingjun's expression shifted.

"What? Not starting a war anymore?"

Gui Yingjun said with a smile.

Luo Ling's expression changed, and he let out a cold snort, "Old fellow, do not be arrogant; do you really think I cannot perceive your state?"

"You have been able to live for so long; you must have used a special Secret Technique, right?"

"That Secret Technique seems to have some limitations, doesn't it? For example, you cannot fight with full strength while using the Secret Technique, otherwise, it will conversely accelerate the rate at which your lifespan flows away?"

Upon hearing this, Gui Yingjun frowned, "Your perception is indeed sharp; I have underestimated you."

Luo Ling let out a cold laugh.

Because of the existence of the Asura Magic Treasure, he had once absorbed lifespan twice.

When it comes to the sensing of lifespan, I fear even a Cultivator at the Great Vehicle Perfection level is not his equal.

Once the laughter ceased, Luo Ling continued, "Old thing, I admit you are very strong, but you have already lived for so many years; even with the support of a Secret Technique, I fear your lifespan is already nearing its limit, right?"

"How much more lifespan can you afford to waste?"

Gui Yingjun was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "It is enough to destroy your Youyun Holy Land."

Luo Ling let out a cold laugh, "Arrogant. Although your strength is great, my Youyun Holy Land is not made of mud."

"My Youyun Holy Land is able to become the absolute hegemon of this western region of Youzhou by relying on absolute strength, not anything else."

"If you do not believe it, you may try."

Gui Yingjun stared at Luo Ling for a moment, then began to laugh, "You are quite bold; if it were me in my youth, I certainly would not have let it go at that."

"However, as for now..."

Speaking to this point, he looked toward the depths of the Youyun Holy Land and shook his head, "Let this matter end here."

As he spoke, he looked at Luo Ling, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, "The time wasted here today is already long enough; I do not wish to continue wasting time here. Now, open the Array immediately."

A flash of ferocity crossed Luo Ling's heart.

Inside his body, two Magic Treasures filled with bloodthirsty auras trembled.

But he did not act rashly.

Although the Asura Magic Treasure is strong, this old fellow's defensive power is too monstrous.

Relying solely on these two Asura Magic Treasures within his body, it is very difficult to break his defense.

If...

He looked at Xuan Ji without changing his expression.

If he were to retrieve the Asura Magic Treasure inside Xuan Ji's body, perhaps there would be a chance to kill him.

But if that happens, Xuan Ji will die!

His gaze flickered, and then a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

Previously, he had been dragging things out and not letting this Magic Treasure reach Consummation because he truly liked Xuan Ji and did not want her to perish so quickly.

He treated her with such sincerity, yet this cheap woman actually debased herself, being defiled by a Nascent Soul Stage ant, causing him to lose all face in front of so many people.

Since that is the case.

Then there is no need to keep her alive.
