Chapter 568: Looks like I can't overcome it

The ground began to tremble, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared around the three of them.

These cracks spread outward, kicking up dust and flying stone fragments.

A violent gust swept through, causing the surrounding trees to sway incessantly.

The surging energy fluctuations triggered a minor storm, making the sky's clouds grow ever darker.

"They're here!"

Lu Yuan gazed solemnly into the distance as the three fought desperately; the two Martial Venerable-level experts of the Flowing Cloud Sect launched their attack without mercy.

Their movement techniques were agile, wielding terrifying power, causing Lu Yuan and his companions to feel immense pressure.

Lu Yuan focused his mind and gathered his Qi, his eyes like lightning, remaining calm despite the enemy's assault.

Beneath his feet rose a windless movement, like a spiritual ape, his figure flickering across the battlefield.

Lu Yuan did not employ advanced arts like the Five Elements Escape Technique; instead, he focused on using basic yet superb swordsmanship and movement techniques, seeking an opening in his clashes with the two Martial Venerables.

Su Liyan stood to the side, gripping the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly with both hands.

Her Ice Immortal Arts exerted their greatest power, freezing the enemies' pursuit speed.

The Cold Jade Ice Shard on her body emitted a faint glow, granting her additional power.

Mo Di also refused to be outdone; the Dragon Clan Prince displayed his astonishing combat prowess.

His scales flashed with golden light as he traced swift striking forms in the air, each strike hitting its target with unerring accuracy.

The situation was tense and fierce; suddenly an explosion rang out on the battlefield, sending shards of stone flying.

Xueying, the Sect Leader of the Blood Moon Sect, appeared before everyone.

His whole body was shrouded in a layer of evil aura, erupting with terrifying demonic power.

Xueying coldly sneered, saying, "Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, do you think you can still escape my grasp?"

"Today, I will make you know who is the true unparalleled genius!"

Lu Yuan ignored Xueying's arrogant aura, focusing on sparring with the two Martial Venerable-level experts.

He suddenly unleashed a strange sword technique; the flashing sword light formed a massive vortex.

This vortex seemed to intertwine with the energy of heaven and earth, driving the surrounding environment into constant change.

The two Martial Venerables were stunned for a moment by this sudden sword technique, falling into bewilderment.

At that very moment, Lu Yuan charged head-on at one of them, tracing a gorgeous yet ferocious arc in the air with his Thunderfire Sword.

At the same time, Su Liyan readied her ultimate move—the Ice Crystal Laser.

She gathered all her strength, forming a circular cold energy beam before her, pointing directly at the other Martial Venerable.

The two Martial Venerables did not expect Lu Yuan and Su Liyan to counterattack so decisively and ruthlessly.

They were struck by Lu Yuan's sword technique, retreating several steps in intense pain.

Mo Di continued to dart swiftly across the battlefield, exerting his power to the fullest.

He used the Dragon Clan's unique physical advantages and tough scales to continually inflict lethal blows on the enemy.

Although the situation was fierce, Lu Yuan did not relax his guard.

His eyes were firm, his will like steel; he again activated his movement technique, weaving through the enemies.

He accurately located the weakest link between the two Martial Venerables and mercilessly stabbed at that gap with his Thunderfire Sword. Lu Yuan's sword pierced the Martial Venerable's weak point, and the Thunderfire Sword emitted a dazzling light.

The Martial Venerable was hit, his body instantly launched into the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Su Liyan swiftly leapt to the side of the other Martial Venerable, her Ice Crystal Long Whip turning into specks of light.

She curled the corner of her mouth slightly and softly chanted, "Ice Crystal Laser!"

The cold energy beam shot straight at that Martial Venerable, instantly freezing him into an ice pillar in an instant.

At this critical juncture, Mo Di stepped in front of everyone, and the Dragon Clan's power erupted.

He spread his massive, splendid Dragon Wings, concentrating dragon power in his claws, tearing a huge rift in the air.

The two elite disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect felt despair and terror, and immediately retreated.

Who would have thought that fighting Lu Yuan and the others would be so difficult.

The battlefield descended into utter chaos, and the Emerald Wind Valley within the Stellar Secret Realm also became fragmented due to their fierce fighting.

The ground split open, massive rocks rained down from the sky, and cracks spread across the land in lines.

Lu Yuan glanced at Su Liyan, understanding that she needed more time to recover her strength.

He continuously circulated his immortal arts, faint runes of Five Elements Vital Energy appearing around his body to block the enemy's attacks.

"We must find a chance to withdraw!" Lu Yuan shouted.

Su Liyan nodded, also realizing the battle had reached its limit.

She exerted her utmost to circulate her Ice Immortal Arts, ice condensing in the air to form a thick ice wall.

Mo Di quickly surrounded himself among the group, forming an impregnable barrier bolstered by Dragon Clan power.

Xueying stood in the distance, watching this scene, and roared, "Do you think you can escape the Blood Moon Sect's grasp like this?"

"I will personally tear you all to pieces!"

Accompanied by his roar, the Blood Moon Sect's evil aura permeated the entire battlefield.

An aura of destruction enveloped the surroundings, as if even the air were annihilated.

Lu Yuan's face grew solemn; he took a deep breath, his heart no longer wavering.

He knew that only by defeating Xueying could this crisis be resolved.

"Supreme Dao Ancestor!"

"If it weren't for your intervention today, we could not have held out until now!"

Lu Yuan felt grateful in his heart.

Accompanied by Lu Yuan's plea, a tremendous shriek rang out across the battlefield.

Supreme Dao Ancestor suddenly appeared behind everyone, he opened his palm, manipulating heavenly and earthly primal qi to form a strong shield.

Evil qi smashed into the shield, producing a loud impact sound. Lu Yuan tightly gripped the Thunder Fire Sword, his eyes like lightning, ready to contend with Murong Ying.

His body emanated powerful immortal aura, as if incarnating into an inviolable defense line.

Murong Ying felt the power emanating from Lu Yuan's body, and a feeling of unprecedented apprehension welled up.

Murong Ying originally thought the four experts they sent would be enough to deal with Lu Yuan's group, but they didn't expect this enemy to be so troublesome.

But they would not show weakness; instead, they deepened their wariness of Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, you actually still have so many trump cards; truly, you make me look at you anew."

Murong Ying coldly snorted, "But don't think I will retreat because of this."

"Today I will personally take care of you."

Having said that, Murong Ying's figure flickered, disappearing from the spot and almost instantly appearing before Lu Yuan.

Murong Ying held a black longsword, its blade emanating yin-cold demonic qi.

"Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, the Thunder Fire Sword flashing with brilliant gold-red light; at the moment of collision, it burst forth a strong energy impact.

The two sword lights crossed, in an instant bursting out dazzling light.

The surrounding air became heavy and tense, as if it could break at any moment.

Amidst scattering sparks, Lu Yuan and Murong Ying retreated together. (End of chapter)
