Chapter 430: Huang Ming's identity

Huang Ming is a great power at the Integration stage who dissipated his cultivation and started over. He has been vertical and horizontal in the cultivation world for more than two thousand years, and it is the first time he has seen someone at the Jin Dan stage who can perform clone techniques.

And it is still this way of clone techniques.

Before Huang Ming could figure it out, the Qingfeng and Mingyue swords were like two dragons swimming in the East Sea, bringing a storm of blood, whistling and arriving.

Lu Yang was not sure if the living corpse could still recover if he cut it off again. Rather than gambling on uncertain things, it was better to slash towards Huang Ming directly.

He didn't believe that Huang Ming could recover like the living corpse.

Huang Ming hurriedly manipulated the living corpse to attack, Lu Yang let the clone hold the Mingyue sword to resist the living corpse, and he fought with Huang Ming.

Both sides fell into a stalemate again, but soon Huang Ming discovered his disadvantage.

Lu Yang's spiritual power was stronger than his own, and the precision of controlling the clone was higher. In the battle between the living corpse and the clone, the living corpse was retreating steadily.

Once the clone achieved victory, it would be his turn to face the dilemma of one against two.

Lu Yang's light laughter came to Huang Ming's ear, scaring Huang Ming into a cold sweat.

"Don't you know that you can't be distracted when fighting? Break!"

Lu Yang performed the 'Break' character formula, sword energy rushed into the sky, gushing out, the sword light was brilliant, weaving like a curtain.

The blood-colored light curtain blocked in front of Huang Ming. This was his strongest defensive move. In front of the fully exerted 'Break' character formula, the blood-colored light curtain only maintained for half a breath before being broken.

Pfft—

Huang Ming wanted to perform corpse-shifting and position-changing again, but was ultimately a beat slow, and his right shoulder was pierced.

Huang Ming was seriously injured and needed at least half a month of recuperation to recover.

Huang Ming had taken a Great Return Pill in the middle, and by the end of the battle, he was still facing

Conversely, Lu Yang had not consumed any elixirs to recover spiritual power from start to finish; this was thanks to both the power of the Invincible Pill and the fact that he had eaten tofu every day when he first began cultivating.

Long-term consumption of tofu can regulate a cultivator's five elements, making their stamina more enduring during combat.

"I concede!" Huang Ming said through gritted teeth, forced to admit the fact of his defeat, and consumed an elixir to treat his injuries.

Lu Yang sheathed his sword and greeted him with a smile, as if he weren't the one who had just wounded Huang Ming.

"What made you think of scattering your cultivation to start over?"

Huang Ming sighed: "I was too impatient when I was young, didn't build a solid foundation, and got stuck at the mid-stage of Body Integration. I couldn't break through for a long time, and since this was a good opportunity to scatter my cultivation and start over, I reincarnated."

Lu Yang was curious: "Then why didn't you join the Five Great Immortal Sects? The Immortal Sects have abundant resources; they should be stronger than the Corpse-Driving Sect, right?"

"Immortal Sects aren't easy to enter. There are too many experts, and who knows who might discover our identities. On the contrary, you have quite a lot of nerve; not only did you sneak into an Immortal Sect, but you're also so high-profile."

Huang Ming thought of Lu Yang's powerful spiritual sense and assumed he was also someone who had reincarnated to start over.

He continued to ask: "Seeing that your clone technique is so unique, yet I have never heard of it, and there is no record of it in history, it must have no successors and has already been lost. Are you a cultivator from the Great Gan era?"

"No, I didn't scatter my cultivation to start over."

"Stop bragging. If you didn't scatter your cultivation, how could you beat me? Tell you what, I'll be honest: I am Venerable Huang Cen of the Great Yu Dynasty. What is your name? Perhaps I have heard of your reputation."

Lu Yang did not answer, silently looking at Huang Ming.

Huang Ming seemed to understand something as well.

Huang Ming: "..."

Lu Yang: "..."

"You are a cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty!?"

"You really are a disciple of the Wendao Sect!?"

The two spoke in unison.

Lu Yang had assumed Huang Ming was some senior from the Corpse-Driving Sect who had scattered his cultivation to start over, so his tone was quite casual; he never expected Huang Ming to be a cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty.

Huang Ming was even more shocked than Lu Yang. The combat power Lu Yang displayed was actually cultivated step by step without scattering his cultivation; even the Grand Preceptor could not achieve this at this realm!

Is a genius of the Great Era truly this terrifying?!

Meng Meng Jingzhou realized the severity of the problem; Huang Ming was actually a Great Yu cultivator.

Man Gu and Zhao Po were encountering ancient cultivators for the first time, so their reactions were actually less intense than Lu Yang and Meng Meng Jingzhou's.

Huang Ming reacted quickly, his tone sinister, his eyes veiled in a layer of gloom, without a hint of a smile: "Good, good, good. As expected of a genius appearing in the Great Era, to actually be able to force me into such a sorry state!"

"Since that's the case, I can't let you live!"

"Originally, I intended to finish chatting with you and kill everyone who heard our conversation, but now it seems even you must die!"

Huang Ming no longer hid his killing intent and summoned his companion using a secret technique.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, kill them all!"

"Lu Yang, be careful! An Integration stage cultivator is rushing over!"

Just as the Immortal Fairy's warning fell, a pressure like a towering mountain descended upon the place.

A middle-aged man with hair more than half white appeared in the sky, directly ignoring Lu Yang and the others, looking down at Huang Ming with a mocking smile.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, why are you in such a sorry state?"

"If it were you, you'd be the same!" Huang Ming said angrily. This Lu Yang's talent was terrifyingly high; even he, a dignified Integration stage cultivator who had scattered his cultivation to start over, couldn't beat him.

If he were allowed to grow, what would happen?

He must be eradicated as soon as possible!

"Easy, easy." The ancient cultivator addressed as Fellow Daoist Meng laughed; a few mere Jin Dan stage cultivators could be wiped out with a flick of a finger.

"It, it's him!" The Drowned Ghost felt a familiar aura and instinctively screamed.

"It was him who knocked me unconscious and brought me here from the East Sea!"

Fellow Daoist Meng looked down, saw it was that Drowned Ghost, and laughed softly.

"So it was that Drowned Ghost from the East Sea."

Lu Yang was startled. This meant the ghost disaster in Hanshui City was created by Fellow Daoist Meng. He was catching ghosts from various places and throwing them into Hanshui City; he just didn't know what they were trying to do!

Fellow Daoist Meng didn't look at the Drowned Ghost again; a Nascent Soul stage ghost wasn't worth his attention: "I'll help you kill these people and fake a crime scene, saying they perished together with this Drowned Ghost. That way you can continue to stay in the Corpse-Driving Sect. In exchange, you must tell me the location of one of your treasure troves."

Huang Ming gritted his teeth, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. This was blatant highway robbery, but he had no choice.

"Fine!"

"Haha, then I thank Fellow Daoist Huang in advance for the gift!"

Seeing he had obtained what he wanted, Fellow Daoist Meng no longer held back, looking at Lu Yang and the others as if they were dead men.

"You little brats, this seat is kind-hearted and will let you choose a way to die. Will it be having your tendons pulled and skin peeled, being refined into a human elixir, or dying from a hundred ghosts passing through your body?"

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Yang and the others, soaking their backs, especially Zhao Po, who had never seen such a scene before.

"Then what way to die do you choose?"

The sudden voice broke the deathly silence of the scene.

"Who!" Fellow Daoist Meng was greatly alarmed; he hadn't even noticed when someone had arrived!

Boom—

Fellow Daoist Meng was struck by a five-colored light wheel, fell from the sky, spat blood, and a flash of panic crossed his eyes.

From this single strike alone, he could feel the gap in strength between them.

The newcomer was dressed in green, hands behind his back, his tone indifferent, with a five-colored light wheel behind his head, looking like a deity.

"Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, Qiu Jinan."
