Chapter 211: This Is No Longer an Ordinary Independent Cultivator!

"I am not! I did not!"

At this moment, Duobao Tongzi felt utterly aggrieved and quickly looked at the Fishing Dragon Old Man beside him: "Fellow Daoist Fishing Dragon, you know me; you can testify for me!"

"This..."

Hearing this, the Fishing Dragon Old Man opened his mouth, then spoke in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Five Elements, I feel that no matter what, Duobao Tongzi would not betray you at this time."

Upon hearing this, True Person Five Elements, who had been overwhelmed by anger, instantly came to his senses: Setting aside the fact that Duobao Tongzi had once been robbed by a True Person of the Holy Sect, a blood feud that cannot be faked, making betrayal ninety percent unlikely, even if he truly did betray, he could not say so now and shake the army's morale.

"It was I who spoke out of turn."

True Person Five Elements let out a long breath and quickly regained his composure: "This must be the Holy Sect's cunning; they deliberately set a trap, causing us to fall into it."

"I miscalculated for a moment, putting all of you in danger."

"However, rest assured, I will naturally make amends for my fault; when we break out later, I will cover the rear and definitely bring you all back safely!"

True Person Five Elements' words quickly stabilized the crowd.

Afterwards, True Person Five Elements swept his gaze across and immediately grasped the key point: "The True Person of the Mo Sect currently surrounded by us must be the one in charge of this Mo Sect operation."

"He used himself as the bait to lure us into the trap."

"But in doing so, he also fell into our encirclement."

"Our only course of action now is to strike at him first, using the force of Mount Taishan crushing an egg to force other True Persons of the Mo Sect to come and save him, thereby creating a good opportunity to break out!"

In this regard, True Person Five Elements' insight was quite sharp.

In fact, just as he thought, although Lu Yang used himself as bait, True Person Yinshan would absolutely not sacrifice him to exchange for victory.

If Lu Yang truly encountered a life-or-death crisis, he would definitely abandon the encirclement and save Lu Yang first.

The only thing True Person Five Elements misjudged was one point.

— Lu Yang's strength.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the collision of magic power from more than ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, even though they were high in the sky, caused the crust below to crack from the residual waves, like a earth dragon turning over.

And almost all Foundation Establishment True Persons felt their vision go black; their extended divine sense was completely crushed by the force of the collision, as if time itself had frozen, sound became inaudible, and objects invisible, until only after a long while did they gradually recover, each staring intently at the scene in the arena.

However, surprisingly, neither side had a single scratch.

On the side of the True Person of the Five Elements, a large umbrella was seen propped up in mid-air, its canopy wrapped in five-colored light, the five elements rotating, firmly protecting everyone beneath it.

"What a superior spiritual treasure!"

Seeing this, even True Person Yinshan's sharp eyes showed a hint of surprise: "Although they are from a small sect, they are not entirely without merit."

However, on the other side, True Person Five Elements was secretly groaning in his heart.

"I almost couldn't hold on."

His 【Primordial Five Elements Umbrella】 was a supreme treasure passed down through generations of the Five Elements Sect; not only was it a superior spiritual treasure, but it contained two profound mysteries within.

Standing beneath the umbrella, it was said to master the five elements completely, making it impervious to all methods.

Yet with just one strike, his treasure umbrella developed cracks, and the originally vital, endlessly flowing five-element radiance also showed significant flaws.

If it took two or three more hits, the treasure would surely shatter and the person die!

Thinking of this, True Person Five Elements looked toward Lu Yang's direction with full expectation; the other party had endured their full-power strike, so he must be severely injured by now, right?

Then he saw a scene that made his eyes bulge with rage.

As the dust cleared, Lu Yang stood in place wearing a black cloak, his expression calm, smiling as he said: "Is that all the strength you have? Didn't you eat before coming out?"

"This is impossible!"

True Person Five Elements' pupils instantly contracted on the spot, and the others also widened their eyes, almost unable to believe it.

You must know that just now, besides True Person Five Elements blocking the others' attacks, the remaining six had already gone all out, daring not to hold back even a shred of strength.

Not to mention that among them were the Fishing Dragon Old Man and Duobao Tongzi, both mid-stage Foundation Establishment; with such a lineup, how could anyone withstand a combined strike? Even if they were also mid-stage Foundation Establishment, at the very least their magical bodies should have been damaged, yet looking at Lu Yang's appearance, he clearly seemed completely unharmed!

On the other side, Lu Yang brushed off his black cloak.

【Hundred-Defense Danger-Subduing Black Cloak】!

This was also a spiritual treasure given to him by Ye Xingfeng before his death overseas; its profound mystery 【Hundred-Defense】 could block any attack one hundred times!

This was the benefit of the Heavenly Secrets being obscured.

Because the advantages and disadvantages of this 【Hundred-Defense Danger-Subduing Black Cloak】 were both very obvious; the advantage was that no matter how powerful the attack, he could block it one hundred times.

The disadvantage was that no matter how weak the attack, it could consume one of its blocks.

In other words, the best way to break this spiritual treasure was not a full-power strike, but to launch tens of thousands of attacks within a short time.

However, now that the Heavenly Secrets were obscured, Foundation Establishment True Persons could not calculate cause and effect, so naturally no one could calculate the flaw of the 【Hundred-Defense Danger-Subduing Black Cloak】; at most they could guess there was a problem and needed time to slowly probe to find the flaw, but how would Lu Yang give them this chance?

The next second, Lu Yang spoke in a deep voice: "Independent cultivator Fishing Dragon Old Man, colluding with the Jiangdong Dao Court to harm a True Person of the Holy Sect."

"This is no longer an ordinary independent cultivator, but a lawless demon! To deal with such a demon, my Holy Sect must strike hard!"

Upon hearing this, the Fishing Dragon Old Man almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Oh my life! A True Person of the Holy Sect is calling me a demon!?

And what does this have to do with me? The one chasing you is Duobao Tongzi!

For a moment, everyone glanced imperceptibly at Duobao Tongzi again; both were traitors, so why did the other call out Fishing Dragon Old Man and not your name?

Duobao Tongzi's face immediately turned bright red: "This is the Mo Sect's scheme to sow discord!"

"I am not a traitor!"

Everyone quickly looked away.

That's right, everyone understands the logic, but who knows if this is playing along with the scheme? It concerns life and death; if it turns out to be true, wouldn't you be led to your doom?

Thinking of this, even the Fishing Dragon Old Man, who had the best relationship with Duobao Tongzi, silently moved away from Duobao Tongzi, daring not to let him get close again.

Seeing this, True Person Five Elements also couldn't help but look at Lu Yang and sighed: "The Mo Sect... lives up to its reputation!"

An open and above-board scheme! Even if seen through and understood, one cannot escape; even he himself could not suppress his doubts at this moment.

As for the other side, Duobao Tongzi was even more furious to the extreme.

In a trance, he seemed to recall the humiliation of his youth when a True Person from the Initial Saint Sect had ambushed him, robbed him, and stripped him naked; in an instant, he lost all reason.

"Beast!"

At the roar of his anger, Duobao Tongzi could no longer hold back; he instantly surged out of the crowd. The Ten Thousand Treasures River flowed, rushing toward Lu Yang.

Almost simultaneously, the Five Elements True Person's face changed drastically: "Be careful! Come back!"

In fact, before he shouted, Duobao Tongzi had already come to his senses, feeling only a chill in his heart as his eyes met Lu Yang's smiling gaze.

'Divine Ability! He just used a Divine Ability to provoke me!?'

【Resolve Suspicion】!

For those standing on the edge of a cliff, sometimes all it takes is a gentle push to fall naturally into the abyss, never to be able to pull themselves out again.

In this moment, everyone clearly sensed the killing intent permeating heaven and earth.

Duobao Tongzi's perception was particularly clear.

'He wants to kill me!?'
