Chapter 546: Messed Up, Save Me

In the Phantom Rock, Lu Yuan and the blue-clad woman launched a fierce battle against the Lewd Demon Spider.

The monstrous beast sent by the Blood Moon Sect Sect Leader stared at the two with a vicious gaze.

Deafening booms echoed continuously in the cave, like the war god's horn.

In the clash, the blue-clad woman revealed immeasurable strength.

The icy aura emanating from her condensed into an ice dragon, instantly entangling the Lewd Demon Spider.

At the same time, Lu Yuan wielded the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword and employed the Five Elements Escape Technique, swiftly moving through the battlefield.

「Divine Phoenix Descends! 」

The blue-clad woman let out a calm, low shout and transformed into a majestic Divine Phoenix.

Flames swirled around her, carrying world-shattering power as they surged toward the Lewd Demon Spider.

The Lewd Demon Spider sensed the immense threat from the Divine Phoenix, let out a sharp cry, and fiercely counterattacked with a vicious stare.

Lu Yuan gripped the sword hilt tightly, his figure flashing like lightning.

He employed the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, laying out a string of star positions in the air.

Amidst the radiant starlight, he formed hand signs and chanted, launching a deadly strike at the Lewd Demon Spider.

The battle grew ever fiercer, and as time passed the Lewd Demon Spider began to show signs of fatigue.

The two of them charged at the giant demon spider like twin swords united as one.

With their combined effort, the demon spider was knocked down in a few blows, lifeless.

"Thank you..."

The blue-clad woman felt a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I just couldn't stand by."

Lu Yuan sheathed his sword: "But I want to ask you, who exactly are you?"

"I..."

The blue-clad woman paused, then said slowly, "My name is Liu Lingxiao, a cultivator of the Divine Phoenix Sect." Lu Yuan frowned tightly, staring at the blue-clad woman Liu Lingxiao.

He remained calm, unwilling to be swayed by her words.

"You say you're an expert of the Divine Phoenix Sect?"

"I find it hard to believe."

"The Divine Phoenix Sect has always been mysterious and unfathomable; for it to appear before me now is truly hard to accept."

Lu Yuan spoke in a calm tone.

"Don't you believe me?"

A hint of disappointment appeared in Liu Lingxiao's eyes.

She smiled faintly, her voice tinged with a hint of bitterness.

"When I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity."

"The aura and cultivation methods emanating from you made me inevitably think of the Divine Phoenix Sect."

He spoke thoughtfully.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Liu Lingxiao's expression shifted slightly; she had not expected her cultivation methods to share so many similarities with his.

"You actually sensed that aura?"

"As it turns out, you're no ordinary person either!"

Liu Lingxiao's voice carried a hint of joy.

She undid a blue silk ribbon from behind and loosely tied up her long hair.

"I am Luo Xueqin's older sister, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Phoenix Sect."

"We share an inseparable fate." Liu Lingxiao said calmly.

Lu Yuan gave them an inquisitive look; their relationship grew ever more puzzling.

A strong curiosity welled up in Lu Yuan's heart; he wanted to learn more.

"An inseparable fate?"

"Don't forget, when we first met, you showed me deep hostility."

Lu Yuan gradually calmed down, clearly recalling the impact the blue-clad woman once had on him.

Liu Lingxiao smiled faintly, revealing a trace of helplessness: "Sorry, I just wanted to provoke you." However, at that very moment, Liu Lingxiao felt a sudden sharp pain in her chest.

Cold sweat slid down her pallid face; she had already been poisoned by the Lewd Demon Spider's deadly toxin.

Lu Yuan noticed Liu Lingxiao's abnormality and hurried over to support her.

He said anxiously, "Oh no, you've been poisoned!"

"We must treat it promptly."

Faced with Liu Lingxiao's poisoning emergency, Lu Yuan knew time was extremely pressing.

Fortunately, he still had some medicinal pills on him.

Lu Yuan immediately had Liu Lingxiao lie down, then gave her the medicinal pills to take.

The medicinal pills were given by the Supreme Dao Ancestor originally; they must be very efficacious.

Liu Lingxiao soon felt that she was fine.

"Thank you!" she said, tears welling up.

"How can I repay your lifesaving grace..."

"If you wish to repay me, help me with some tasks."

"What tasks?"

"Give me the bone fragments; I want to replace my bones on the spot."

Lu Yuan looked at her, his tone full of command.

"Good." In the hidden corner of Phantom Shadow Rock, Lu Yuan found an open space.

He had Liu Lingxiao stand guard beside him, and instructed her to wait patiently.

He then began preparing to perform the Heart Marrow Exchange Technique.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, closed off all distractions, and focused entirely on circulating his heart method.

A mighty surge of immortal power poured endlessly from Tian Ting into his body, transforming into rotating streams of light.

As Lu Yuan's consciousness permeated it, he could feel every minute change within his body.

His heart began to mutate, gradually approaching perfection.

This process was extremely dangerous and excruciatingly painful, but to gain greater power for future challenges, he had no room to retreat.

Each bone replacement felt like being in purgatory.

Intense pain like lightning coursed through his marrow, every nerve torn, every inch of flesh enduring indescribable torment.

But Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the pain with steadfast resolve.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; only Lu Yuan's breathing and heartbeat echoed within Phantom Shadow Rock.

He was so focused on breaking through himself, he was so fervently craving greater power.

As time passed, Lu Yuan finally completed the Heart Marrow Exchange Technique.

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the power surging within his body.

Liu Lingxiao looked at Lu Yuan, whose face was pale yet emanating an extraordinary aura, feeling both shocked and filled with respect.

She understood how perilous and arduous this process was for Lu Yuan, yet he persevered resolutely and forged ahead to complete it. After the Heart Marrow Exchange Technique was completed, Lu Yuan felt an immense power surging within him.

His cultivation rose to the Six Revolutions Soul Realm, reaching the pinnacle level of the Immortal Law Continent.

Such strength filled him with confidence for the future, while also making him realize that the challenges and responsibilities he faced were greater.

"Liu Lingxiao, we must return to Heavenly Wind City at once."

Lu Yuan said to her.

"The Black Flame Sect's Sect Leader, True Lord Po Tian, personally led a host of strong warriors into the city; we must stop them."

Liu Lingxiao nodded; she knew how terrifying the Black Flame Sect's evil forces were.

They had long coveted Lu Yuan's power and planned to destroy Heavenly Wind City.

Now they have sealed off the city, searching for Lu Yuan's traces.

When Lu Yuan and Liu Lingxiao returned to Heavenly Wind City, the city had been tightly controlled by the Black Flame Sect.

Pedestrians hurriedly left the streets, daring not to linger even a moment.

Zi Xi'er saw Lu Yuan return and rushed over.

"Lu Yuan! You've finally returned." (End of chapter)
