Chapter 1187

Who can tell me what happened? Why does it feel like Lu Tianjiao's aura is stronger than when it started?

The people of Mu Xue City couldn't possibly determine Lu Yang's exact realm; they only had a vague sense based on the atmosphere at the scene.

The city guard commander had a solemn expression, his voice trembling slightly: "Hundreds of years ago, I once saw a great demon emperor from afar, who swallowed an entire city in one bite; later I learned that was a mid Tribulation Transcendence stage great demon emperor, but the sense of danger Lu Yang gives me far exceeds that of that great demon emperor."

Could he now be in the late Tribulation Transcendence stage... or even the peak?!

That must be it—his realm must have just fluctuated to the peak of Tribulation Transcendence!

Meng Jingzhou watched from below, gritting his teeth: "Damn realm fluctuation to the Tribulation Transcendence peak—just now Old Lu charged over and fought Yang Kongdong in a bloodbath, taking the opportunity to perform the Xiangxing Fist, borrowing strength."

Lu Yang twisted his shoulders, holding the Qingfeng Sword, stepping closer to Yang Kongdong step by step.

"Senior Yang, you hit me hard just now—reciprocity demands I return the favor!"

Lu Yang transformed into a long rainbow, brilliant light bursting forth; in the next instant he appeared behind Yang Kongdong, sheathing his sword, as blood blossomed on Yang Kongdong's chest.

He stared in disbelief at Lu Yang behind him—just one sword had pierced his chest—what peerless swordsmanship is this!

Even Liu Ningxuan, who created the Ji Mie Sword Technique, was no better than this!

"Xiaoyao Bu!"

Yang Kongdong vanished in place; after entering the Ruthless Realm, his Sha Xin Jing and Xiaoyao Bu reached a new level—Lu Yang absolutely could not keep up with his speed.

Mu Baiyi and the two others saw this and their faces changed drastically; none of them had seen how Yang Kongdong disappeared, and if the three of them encountered him, death would be certain!

Yang Kongdong transformed into a peerless assassin, concealing his aura and appearing above Lu Yang's head, gripping an ice dagger, aiming for the Tianling Gai and striking!

Unexpectedly, Lu Yang looked up, met Yang Kongdong's eyes—as if he had known Yang Kongdong would appear above him all along—thrust out another sword, shattering the ice dagger and piercing Yang Kongdong's right hand!

Yang Kongdong violently withdrew, activating the Tianshan Holy Land's Snow Lotus Secret Technique to rapidly heal his wounds, then immediately stepped again with Xiaoyao Bu and vanished.

Coincidence?

Yang Kongdong refused to believe it, continuously circling Lu Yang, seeking an attack opportunity—unexpectedly, Lu Yang raised his hand and unleashed another sword qi; Yang Kongdong violently stopped to dodge this sword qi, and a second sword qi followed closely, slicing a deep wound on his back that exposed bone.

His proud Xiaoyao Bu had no effect before Lu Yang!

Lu Yang's divine sense was unprecedentedly strong, able to clearly perceive Yang Kongdong's every move; although he was not skilled in footwork and couldn't keep up with Yang Kongdong's steps, his sword qi was astonishingly fast!

Since Xiaoyao Bu failed, Yang Kongdong immediately changed strategy, gripping an ice great spear, the spear thrusting like a dragon, performing the Shaohao Spear Technique.

Clang clang clang clang—

Spear and sword clashed; Yang Kongdong again felt pressure from Lu Yang.

The pressure Lu Yang brought upon his recent advancement was not an illusion, but intuition!

Excluding the Dao Fruit embryo, Yang Kongdong himself is a peerless powerhouse at the Tribulation Transcendence peak; moreover, he has mastered techniques from a hundred schools, and many renowned ancient techniques he has fully integrated.

Yet now he actually feels pressure from a junior of the same Tribulation Transcendence peak—simply inconceivable!

No, no—this feeling of same-realm overwhelming pressure, he experienced in ancient times; it was those invincible Tribulation Transcendence beings who smoothly ascended to immortality!

What nonsense—even if realm rises, it must be matched with corresponding combat experience; merely raising realm without power and skill is like a child wielding a knife—the realm advantage cannot be fully utilized.

But how is this junior Lu Yang? It's as if he's long been familiar with Tribulation Transcendence combat—facing Lu Yang feels like facing a veteran Tribulation Transcendence expert, his techniques balanced, his spells and swordsmanship seamlessly connected.

Even if the opponent occasionally fluctuated into Tribulation Transcendence during the Void Refinement stage, seizing the chance to gain combat experience, it's impossible to produce this effect.

Where on earth does the opponent get such rich combat experience?!

Yang Kongdong has endured the ancient great era's Tianjiao brilliance struggles, and he himself was one of the main figures in that great era's struggle; he thought he had seen all kinds of situations, but Lu Yang's situation still far exceeds his comprehension!

The people of Mu Xue City don't understand why Lu Yang suddenly became stronger, but even they can see that after Lu Yang's change, Yang Kongdong was at a disadvantage in battle, Yang Kongdong's wounds kept increasing, and the Snow Lotus Secret Technique's recovery speed couldn't keep up with his injury rate.

Rebirth in desperation, Mu Xue City instantly erupted in cheers, loudly calling Lu Yang's name.

Shi Xue Lou watched Lu Yang's sword-drawing with blazing eyes, each sword making him reluctant to look away, beyond his comprehension.

"This is what a sword cultivator should be..."

The plow and hoe techniques he had painstakingly comprehended gradually surfaced in his mind; Shi Xue Lou felt something, his thoughts unprecedentedly active.

"Junior, you may have some fortunate encounter, gaining Tribulation Transcendence combat experience, but the gap between Tribulation Transcendence and Dao Fruit embryo is not something you can imagine!" Yang Kongdong originally thought Lu Yang had merely fluctuated to the Tribulation Transcendence peak by chance, thinking that dragging it out would cause his realm to fall back.

According to the current situation, if we drag this on, the one who dies will be me!

Half-immortals have absolute advantage over Tribulation Transcendence; Yang Kongdong has never cared about Tribulation Transcendence cultivators; the two vice sect masters of the Wuqing Sect are Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, captured by the Xia Dynasty—he felt no ripple in his heart, merely cannon fodder, not as important as his search for his left arm in the far north.

"Ah."

Yang Kongdong activated the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit embryo; sorrowful aura spread, soon wailing came from below Mu Xue City—whether mortal or cultivator, they wept together, even Mu Baiyi and the two others burst into tears, losing all will to fight, becoming lambs for slaughter.

In contrast, Lu Yang's eyes shone like snow, as if nurturing two swords—he was completely unaffected by the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit embryo!

Lu Yang naturally wouldn't be affected; the power he borrowed is from the Buddhist Immortal Body's self—now he equals a Buddhist Immortal Body avatar; unless Yang Kongdong uses the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit, it cannot affect him.

"How is this possible!"

Seeing this, Yang Kongdong was so shocked he nearly lost his Wuqing mindset; unlike the direct attacks of the Space Dao Fruit embryo and Diamond Dao Fruit embryo, the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit embryo, when unleashed, is impossible to defend against—this was verified many times during ancient struggles, and half-immortals struck by it were never just one or two.

Even he could make half-immortals fall in love with him.

"No, you have someone inside your body!"

Although Yang Kongdong cannot control Lu Yang's emotions, he can sense Lu Yang's emotions.

And in his perception, Lu Yang currently has two emotions; the greatest possibility is that someone else is inside Lu Yang's body!

Lu Yang looked at Yang Kongdong with some surprise—indeed, he couldn't underestimate the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit embryo!

He curled the corner of his mouth into a cruel smile: "Senior Yang, you know too much—then you won't live."
