Chapter 517: Special Agate Blood Moon Talisman

Five Elements Escape Technique!

He let out a loud shout, and the surrounding air instantly solidified.

Colorful magical lines surrounded him, forming an immense defensive field.

Lightning, imbued with the power to destroy everything, struck the field, yet could not break through.

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand emitted a strong, dazzling light, stabbing toward Ma Heifeng.

Ma Heifeng closed his eyes in terror, awaiting death's arrival.

However, Lu Yuan gathered his power at the critical moment, merely severely wounding Ma Heifeng; the lightning dissipated, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall was restored.

Ma Heifeng turned into a pool of black blood, seeping into the ground.

Lu Yuan put away the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, coldly surveying his surroundings.

At that moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from within Zixiao Palace.

A group of Shadowy Sect martial artists walked in from outside, each possessing supreme skills, mysterious and ferocious.

Several martial artists' faces instantly turned grim.

They looked at the corpse on the ground and Lu Yuan's Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, their eyes flashing with shock and anger.

"What's going on?"

"You dare to commit violence in Zixiao Palace!"

A leading martial artist shouted angrily.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, coldly scanning the crowd: "This is merely a personal grudge between me and Ma Heifeng."

His meaning was indisputable: if you unwisely choose to withdraw from this place, you will also become my enemies.

The crowd, pressed by Lu Yuan, had no answer, their faces showing hesitation.

Just then, Zi Cui Ling led some elite disciples of the Ziyun Clan into the hall.

She glanced at the stunned Shadowy Sect martial artists, unable to hide a hint of mockery on her face.

"Oh dear, look how lively my family is; it turns out there are guests."

Zi Cui Ling feigned surprise on her face: "Really sorry, our clan's rule is that outsiders may enter but cannot leave easily."

Her tone was full of sarcasm, her gaze directly falling on Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, you really are a troublemaker!"

"But since you've already killed someone, don't worry."

"These Shadowy Sect folks brought it on themselves!"

Upon hearing Zi Cui Ling say that, everyone showed various expressions.

They knew full well that things were probably not so simple within the Ziyun Clan either.

Finally, a martial artist coldly snorted and said: "What gives you the right to intercept us?"

"Do you think you can handle our Shadowy Sect?"

Just as he finished speaking, several Shadowy Sect martial artists raised their palms, and suddenly a black gust of wind emerged.

The black wind quickly condensed into a huge black ghost hand, lunging at Zi Cui Ling and Lu Yuan.

"Not good!"

Lu Yuan's expression turned grave; he immediately activated the Five Elements Escape Armor Art, setting up a Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to resist the black ghost hand.

At the same time, Su Liyan was not idle; she raised the Ice Crystal Long Whip, dancing in the air to produce a beautiful yet deadly ice-crystal blue glow.

"Jade Ice Shards!"

The light of her Fobao flickered, and icy-cold crystal shards shot out.

These crystal shards bound the black ghost hand, preventing it from approaching Zi Cui Ling and Lu Yuan any further.

The atmosphere inside the hall was extremely tense.

The Shadowy Sect martial artists, realizing they were on the defensive, turned into afterimages in the moment they moved, swiftly fleeing toward the door.

"You want to leave? Not so easy!"

Lu Yuan lunged forward with the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

In the second blink, two Shadowy Sect martial artists already lay beneath Lu Yuan's sword.

This action caused a huge disturbance within Zixiao Palace.

Various immortal law masters appeared, standing outside the hall to block all passages. Lu Yuan's gaze fell on a corner of the hall, where he discovered a sealed spiritual spring—the Heavenly Gang Holy Water Pool.

This holy water pool is an excellent place for cultivating immortal arts, possessing boundless spiritual energy that can accelerate cultivation speed.

Seeing this sight, a hint of excitement flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

He knew that if he could obtain the baptism of spiritual energy from the Heavenly Gang Holy Water Pool, it would greatly aid his cultivation of immortal arts.

However, other martial artists gathered around Lu Yuan also discovered this treasure, their eyes flashing with greed and desire.

Immediately, a strong and fierce aura spread, and the entire hall instantly became tense.

Martial artists from various families launched into competition, fiercely battling without rest for the Heavenly Gang Holy Water Pool.

Lu Yuan watched as flames, ice, lightning, and various other phenomena continually erupted around him, secretly staying alert.

He knew that in such a cruel and fierce competition, only by relying on his own strength could he win.

His figure darted across the battlefield like lightning, with bolts of lightning and sword qi repeatedly assaulting him.

But Lu Yuan, relying on his profound immortal arts and the power of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, easily evaded these attacks and struck back to slay his enemies.

Su Liyan was not to be outdone; her Ice Crystal Long Whip danced nonstop, emitting bone-chilling cold air.

She lashed enemies with the Ice Crystal Long Whip, freezing them in place. Lu Yuan and Su Liyan leaned close together, watching the fierce battle between other martial artists while seeking an opportunity to enter the Heavenly Gang Holy Water Pool.

The entire battlefield was filled with flames, ice, lightning, and various other phenomena; myriad immortal arts intertwined, dazzling the eyes.

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the vicinity of the holy water pool.

In the flames, he vaguely saw a special agate — Blood Moon Talisman.

Lu Yuan, who knew that its existence was important for cultivation, felt a hint of joy rise in his heart.

However, in the perilous battle, none of the martial artists noticed this Blood Moon Talisman.

It hid amidst the endless fighting and spells, and was overlooked.

"Su Liyan."

Lu Yuan softly said to Su Liyan, "I want to get something."

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's serious and determined gaze, and nodded.

She well knew Lu Yuan's strength, and was clear about his resolve.

The two cooperated tacitly, weaving through the chaotic battlefield.

They nimbly dodged the flames and lightning attacks; Su Liyan's Ice Crystal Long Whip swirled and danced, freezing the approaching enemies in place.

Finally, they arrived near the Holy Water Pool.

Other martial artists, drawn away by the fierce battle taking place in the hall, did not notice their movements.

Lu Yuan steadied his emotions, employing the profound immortal art—Five Elements Escape Technique—to mobilize the five elemental forces around his body.

He approached the Holy Water Pool with lightning speed and reached out to try to pick up the Blood Moon Talisman.

The martial artists, meanwhile, all turned their gaze to the Heavenly Gang Holy Water Pool, silently pondering how to vie for this treasure. Lu Yuan steadied his emotions, and a strong anticipation rose in his heart.

The power of the Five Elements Escape Technique flowed through his body, making him feel a strong surge of power; he quickly approached the Heavenly Gang Holy Water Pool. (End of chapter)
