Chapter 192

Lu Yang's reputation for ferocity was too great; not to mention those newcomers who deliberately hid their strength and wanted to show off in this competition, he even overshadowed the reputation of the Sect Leader's successor, Yan Fei.

He disguised himself as a Ginseng Fruit and fooled everyone; later, holding the demonic blade, he made people tremble with fear. No one knew how many numbers were on his palm, but it was certain that it was a terrifying number.

Meng Jingzhou had real ability and was not afraid of Lu Yang's fierce reputation.

"Heh, I heard that your demonic blade kills anyone who sees blood; since that's the case, I'll just make sure I don't get hurt."

Lu Yang raised his eyebrows: "What big talk! State your name!"

"Meng Jingzhou!"

"So it's you; I've long heard that you are invincible in the Foundation Establishment stage, having practiced your body-tempering techniques to the extreme, making countless body cultivators admire you!"

Meng Jingzhou snorted coldly: "You're not bad either, Blood Sea Blade Demon Lu Yang, with a fierce reputation abroad that makes children stop crying. Everyone says your strength is above Yan Fei's; I don't know if it's true or false!"

"Try it and you'll know!"

"Then let's try!"

The two most eye-catching seed players fought; not to mention the contestants observing in secret, even the high-level officials of the Decayed Sect wanted to know which of the two was better.

Was it the insidious and cunning Lu Yang, or the upright and open Meng Jingzhou?

The Sect Leader and the Deputy Sect Leader both had their eyelids twitching in secret; if they hadn't known long ago that you were all in the same gang, they would have really thought you didn't know each other.

You act so realistically.

Deputy Sect Leader Jin finally admitted that the Sect Leader's eyes were like torches; no wonder one evaluation was 'born demonic seed' and 'Dao-Demon descent'.

He wouldn't even believe it if someone said these two were righteous path undercover agents.

Oh right, there was also a Man Gu.

Yan Fei, hiding in the bushes, saw the two fighting and felt like he was facing a great enemy; both of these people were qualified to be his opponents, posing a greater threat than the dead Wine and Meat Monk and Gu Zha.

Lu Yang wielded the blade with sword techniques, the blade momentum unstoppable; Meng Jingzhou tempered his body to his teeth, without a single flaw. When the two made a move, even Golden Core stage cultivators could be killed.

The contestants watched in fear, feeling that these two were simply monsters.

In the end, Lu Yang was a cut above and defeated Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Jingzhou knew he was no match and fled directly before being injured; the crowd sighed, if Meng Jingzhou had been injured, they could have chased and killed him together.

Killing Gu Zha and the Wine and Meat Monk, and defeating Meng Jingzhou, Lu Yang's reputation reached its peak, unmatched by anyone.

Lu Yang performed his blade technique again, killing countless people; even Man Gu, who had always been fearless, ran far away after seeing Lu Yang, not daring to confront him head-on.

Just when everyone thought Lu Yang would become the strongest in this competition, Meng Jingzhou killed his way back.

Meng Jingzhou was in high spirits, not looking troubled by his previous failure.

"Lu Yang, fight again!"

Lu Yang sneered: "A defeated opponent dares to mention fighting in front of me? Die!"

The demonic blade swung down, powerful and heavy, intending to split Meng Jingzhou in two; the crowd gasped, this was going all out from the start!

Last time, Meng Jingzhou lost to this very move!

Just when everyone thought the outcome would be decided in one blow, Meng Jingzhou acted contrary to expectations and blocked this blade.

Lu Yang realized that Meng Jingzhou was different, put away his arrogance, and fought with all his might.

Compared to last time, Meng Jingzhou's combat power soared, fighting Lu Yang to a draw.

"Huff, huff, you had a fortuitous encounter!" Lu Yang suddenly realized the problem; there was only one explanation for Meng Jingzhou becoming stronger.

This battle gave Meng Jingzhou great confidence: "Just having just entered, I can soar in combat power; worthy of being the Six Harmonies..."

Meng Jingzhou realized he had made a slip of the tongue and immediately shut his mouth.

Man Gu heard Meng Jingzhou's half-sentence and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: "Six Harmonies? Could it be the legendary 'Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Art'?!"

The crowd hurriedly asked Man Gu what kind of technique this was; Man Gu didn't answer and fled.

"'Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Art', could it be the inheritance of the Decayed Immortal?" The crowd whispered; with the word 'Immortal' in the technique, it was hard not to let people think more.

The battle between Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou ended in a draw; both sides knew that they wouldn't be able to determine a winner if they kept fighting, so they left by mutual understanding.

After Meng Jingzhou disappeared for a full day, he came out of the mountains again, with even greater momentum than before.

Meng Jingzhou went straight to find Lu Yang, who was wearing a cloak.

What shocked everyone was that Meng Jingzhou's combat power soared again, defeating Lu Yang!

The Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Art was terrifying!

"Go to hell!" Meng Jingzhou shouted, piercing Lu Yang's chest with one palm.

Lu Yang coughed up blood incessantly, his aura fading rapidly.

Lu Yang's vitality was tenacious and he wouldn't die immediately, but death was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.

"Haha, good, good, a great Meng Jingzhou, you actually obtained the greatest opportunity!"

Lu Yang's expression was somewhat ferocious, perhaps unwilling to die just like that.

He took out a tattered book from his bosom, and Meng Jingzhou's pupils shrank suddenly upon seeing it.

"How can the Immortal Art be in your hands! You stole the Immortal Art during the fight!"

The crowd was in an uproar; Lu Yang stole the Immortal Art during the fight—what kind of method was this? Was it the legendary 'Empty-Handed Skill'?

Immediately, everyone's hearts were burning; with the Immortal Art in the hands of the dying Lu Yang, didn't that mean anyone could obtain it?

Lu Yang laughed while vomiting blood: "It's just a pity that I had the fate to steal the Immortal Art, but no chance to practice it."

"Since that's the case, I'll make the Immortal Art public and see what advantage you, Meng Jingzhou, have left!"

Lu Yang threw out the Immortal Art, using blood as text to condense the full text of the Immortal Art in the air!

A heaven-sent opportunity!

Meng Jingzhou's eyes were about to split, and he hurriedly scattered the blood characters, not letting the Immortal Art spread out.

But it was too late; everyone was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with a photographic memory, and they could remember the entire content after just one glance.

Lu Yang laughed heartily and lost his breath.

Meng Jingzhou was furious but had no way to deal with it.

The crowd dispersed, wanting to find a safe place to practice the Immortal Art.

"Why didn't I become stronger after practicing it?" Someone was puzzled; didn't Meng Jingzhou become very strong as soon as he started?

"Did I practice it wrong?"

In the dense forest, Lu Yang and his two companions gathered together, closed their eyes, and sensed the positions of the people.

This wasn't an Immortal Art at all, but a positioning technique; as long as someone practiced it, the three of them would know their location.

What was the biggest problem in dense forest battles? It was not knowing the enemy's location. Now that all the contestants were scattered and hiding, it was the perfect time to defeat them one by one!

The three of them moved out together, from near to far, killing one whenever they saw one; the numbers on their marks were rising rapidly.

Yan Fei was not in a hurry to practice; he always felt that something was wrong. He found Lu Yang's remains, lifted the hood, and it was shockingly a bald Lu Yang.

A Bodhi tree clone!

Everything was fake!

He quickly made a judgment: "Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are in the same gang!"

"There is no such thing as the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Immortal Art at all; Man Gu is also with them!"

In the distance, the Sect Leader, who had witnessed everything, had a strange expression.

Even he, the leader of the demonic path, felt that these three were too insidious.

In the spiritual space, the Decayed Fairy saw the senior sister deep in thought and was curious: "What are you thinking about?"

Miss Yun Zhi sighed: "I'm thinking, will these three really not be beaten to death by someone?"

Miss Yun Zhi wasn't worried about whether Lu Yang and his companions could win the championship; she was now worried that they would be beaten to death by someone before they could win.

Actually, I also wanted to write a sentence at the beginning of the Immortal Art saying "To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself", but then I thought, forget it.
