Chapter 402

"I will lend you a hand!" Gu Qingwan also unleashed the power of the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin, fiery phoenixes filling the sky weaving a great net that encircled the Yin Gui Daoist.

The Yin Gui Daoist fell into a heavy siege, his face finally contorted. "You fool, go die!"

He let out a hoarse shout, blood light flaring all over his body, actually transforming himself into a huge blood person, his hands forming blood swords and halberds, charging at the four!

The Yin Gui Daoist transformed into a blood person, his hands forming blood swords and halberds, irresistibly slaughtering toward Lu Yuan and the other three.

Lu Yuan activated the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword Technique, swinging his sword to shoot out thousands of bolts of lightning, but all were neutralized one by one by the Yin Gui Daoist's blood halberd.

Su Liyan and Gu Qingwan also joined forces, their icy true qi and phoenix fire true flame intertwining into a great net, intending to encircle the blood person.

However, the Yin Gui Daoist turned, blood light bursting forth, the blood net instantly shattering their combined attack, and he counterattacked.

"Be careful!" Lu Yuan hastily shielded the two, but he too was caught by the blood net, and all three spat blood and were injured.

"Take my golden wheel!" King Qi furiously struck out, the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel slicing forth myriad golden lights, directly aiming for the Yin Gui Daoist's back.

"You wretched thing, go die!" The Yin Gui Daoist gave a sinister laugh, his blood halberd blocking backhand, the golden wheel actually being bounced straight away, heavily plunging into the ground.

"How is it possible, the power of the golden wheel actually being easily neutralized!" King Qi turned pale with shock.

"Hahaha, just with you lot, you also want to wound me even a bit?" The Yin Gui Daoist's blood sword and blood halberd opened left and right, chopping down toward the four's heads.

"Not good, join forces to block!" Lu Yuan hastily shouted.

The four barely gathered their true qi, blocking this fatal strike.

But they were already utterly weak, the strike's ten-thousand-jin force still directly sent everyone flying.

With a "Boom" sound, the four heavily fell to the ground, blood everywhere.

"How could we possibly not be his match!" Su Liyan painfully coughed up a mouthful of blood, unable to fight further.

Lu Yuan and the others had also reached the end of their strength, unable to exert any more power.

"You're not convinced? Then go die!" The Yin Gui Daoist walked forward holding his blood sword, intending to behead the few beneath his blade.

Just then, only hearing a "Boom—" loud sound, the sky was torn open a rift, and an old man in purple robes swiftly flew out.

"Supreme Dao Ancestor!" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up; it was actually the Supreme Dao Ancestor arriving just in time.

"Yin Gui Daoist, quickly withdraw your hands!" The Supreme Dao Ancestor furrowed his brows, a powerful spiritual pressure pressing toward the Yin Gui Daoist.

"It turns out to be the Supreme Dao Ancestor; I was momentarily confused, please forgive me!" Although the Yin Gui Daoist was unwilling, he still put away his blood sword and halberd, stepping back slightly.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor came before Lu Yuan and the others, extending his hand to point at each of them, helping them absorb true qi and heal their injuries.

"Master, we are powerless against the foe; please grant us permission to take out the Heavenly Book, so we may battle this villain again!" Lu Yuan pleaded.

"No need. The Heavenly Book must not be taken out lightly, and you must not covet external power. This time, I will personally eliminate him, which also counts as clearing a major obstacle on your cultivation path." The Supreme Dao Ancestor said calmly.

Having said that, he flipped his hand to produce a jade-green scepter, striking toward the Yin Gui Daoist.

This scepter looked simple, but the Yin Gui Daoist's expression suddenly changed, realizing it must be the Supreme Dao Ancestor's divine artifact.

"Heavenly Emperor's Precious Scepter!" the Yin Gui Daoist exclaimed, wanting to dodge.

"Too late!" the Supreme Dao Ancestor shouted. Only hearing a "Boom", the scepter brought forth vast azure divine light, enveloping the Yin Gui Daoist's entire body.

"No——" the Yin Gui Daoist uttered a shrill wail, his blood-person incarnation instantly shattering into fragments, turning into blood mist and vanishing.

"What tremendous power!" Lu Yuan and the others stared, mouths agape.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor put away his scepter, smiling slightly: "The Yin Gui Daoist has led the Blood Moon Sect for many years, causing endless calamity."

"Today we have finally eradicated this source of disaster; you ought to sincerely thank the heavenly grace and your master's kindness."

"Yes! Thank the Supreme Dao Ancestor for resolving the crisis!" The four knelt and kowtowed in gratitude.

"Go forth; your mission is far from over. Diligently cultivate, and in the future you will surely protect the myriad beings and attain fruition."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor transformed into a gentle breeze, vanishing at the horizon.

Lu Yuan and the others silently remembered the Supreme Dao Ancestor's teachings, vowing to redouble their efforts to achieve fruition early.

This narrow victory over the Yin Gui Daoist also made them realize their own cultivation shortcomings.

Had it not been for the Supreme Dao Ancestor appearing to rescue them just now, they would likely have already perished and gone to the Yellow Springs.

From now on, they will surely maintain a humble heart, continually cultivating.

The righteous path of the mortal realm is arduous and long; they will surely aid the Supreme Dao Ancestor with their strength, clearing the last remnants of the Blood Moon Sect's forces, bringing peace to the world.

After the perilous battle with the Blood Moon Sect, Lu Yuan and the others deeply felt that their cultivation needed improvement,

In order to seek instruction on the Dao of immortality from the Supreme Dao Ancestor, they decided to go to the Xian Jie to pay a visit.

Thus, the four arrived at the entrance to the Xian Jie—before the Heavenly Gate Pass.

All they saw was a city gate towering a hundred zhang high, tightly shut, emanating a mysterious aura.

"We are sent by the Supreme Dao Ancestor's command to pay a visit; please open the gate!" Lu Yuan stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"Rude mortals, if you wish to enter the Xian Jie you must pass my trial; let me see your strength!"

Only hearing a booming mocking laugh, a sturdy man covered head to toe in tattoos, wielding a stone staff, leapt down from the gate's top, landing heavily before the crowd.

"It turns out the Barbarian King is wreaking havoc here; today we shall learn your skills!" Lu Yuan brandished his sword, sidestepping to evade the Barbarian King's sudden attack.

"What an ignorant brat who doesn't know the height of heaven and depth of earth, go die!" The Barbarian King's eyes turned blood-red, his stone staff leaping up with bloody radiance, smashing down toward Lu Yuan.

"Hmph, mere bloody light also wants to wound me even a bit?" Lu Yuan gave a light snort, the Heavenly Thunder Startled Dragon Sword slashing out, in the flash of lightning and spark cutting away the bloody light.

"Alright, alright, brothers, let's go up together." Su Liyan also leapt into the fray with her whip, backing up Lu Yuan.

"Come on, let me see how formidable you are!" The Barbarian King laughed heartily, waving his staff with both hands wildly, swinging it straight at the two.

"Take this move of mine, the heavenly net is vast and inexhaustible!" King Qi chanted a spell, a thousand golden lights transforming into a heavenly net that encircled the Barbarian King.

"I will lend you a hand!" Gu Qingwan also chanted a spell, activating the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin, showering the Barbarian King with fiery phoenixes filling the sky.

"You ant! Go die!" The Barbarian King flew into a rage, turning violently, his twin staffs spinning like wheels, he fiercely smashed at the golden net and the fiery phoenixes.

Only hearing two "Boom—" sounds, the Barbarian King's strength was too great, directly shaking apart the techniques of King Qi and Gu Qingwan.

"Not good, this Barbarian King's strength is overwhelmingly fierce!" Su Liyan's expression slightly changed, she tightened her guard.

"Again!" the Barbarian King laughed loudly, striking the ground with both hands holding his staff; in an instant the mountain peaks collapsed and the earth trembled.

"Dodge!" Lu Yuan hastily pulled Su Liyan to avoid it, but King Qi and Gu Qingwan were still blown away by the aftershock.

"Hahaha, just like that!" the Barbarian King raised his club and struck fiercely at everyone.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan struggled to defend, but they were still shaken, their qi and blood churning.

"Oh no, we seem to be no match for this Barbarian King!" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and stood firm, filled with anxiety. (End of chapter)
