Chapter 145: Fierce Battle with Lan Boting

Chapter 145: Fierce Battle with Lan Boting

Foundation Establishment Mystical [Physical Flight]!

No consumption at all, like an innate instinct, the speed is similar to controlling the Blue Butterfly Sword, but it doesn't consume True Essence, as simple as raising a hand or moving a foot.

If one wants to accelerate, then it will require consuming True Essence.

Wang Yu looked at the approaching monster beast below, ignored it completely, and after finding the right direction, continued towards the other side of the Withered Leaf Swamp.

One hour later.

He roughly verified the flight speed of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. A drop of True Essence is enough to sustain him for three days non-stop, and the speed is twice that of a High-Grade Flying Magic Tool.

If he learned Second Stage Escape Technique, this gap would at least widen to ten times or more.

In addition to this.

There is also a Foundation Establishment Mystical power called [Body Protecting True Aura], with low consumption and near-instantaneous speed, and defensive strength equivalent to a conventional Lower Grade Second Order Defensive Spell.

With these two Realm advantages superimposed, the difficulty for a Qi Condensation Cultivator to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is evident. This doesn't even include True Essence, Mystical Arts... and other means.

Fortunately, these are abilities unique to human Cultivators.

Monster Beasts, Yin Spirits, Spirit Monsters, do not have these, or rather, they have different types of Realm Powers. It is said that after condensing Core Formation, human Cultivators will develop even more Realm Powers.

These characteristics can completely distinguish living beings of different Realms, but they are difficult to gain a significant advantage in battles within the same Realm. The value exists, but it's not as high as imagined.

At this point.

Wang Yu's goal for returning home this time has been fully achieved, even slightly exceeded. Next, it's time to go back and receive his Inner Sect Disciple benefits.

Establishing a manor to accumulate wealth, possessing a City, and plundering a fertile land! Just thinking about it makes the future feel bright.

At this moment, Wang Yu, who was preparing to set off, suddenly heard laughter coming from ahead, carrying a strong resentment and killing intent, blocking his path.

"Hahahahaha~

"You little Demon Spawn, you made this venerable one run around in this stinky Swamp day and night for several months, and I've finally caught you.

"Humph-- surrender now!"

Wang Yu frowned deeply. Having just taken a Breath of fresh air, seeing such a disgusting creature truly made him nauseous.

"It's you."

"Precisely this venerable one." Lan Boting formed a Sword Finger, and the Long Sword he carried on his back all year round hummed as it was drawn, pointing remotely at Wang Yu, his Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Aura was undoubtedly revealed.

"Wang Yu, right? Lan will take your head today to atone for the crime of failing to eliminate demons."

"Ridiculous."

After dual Dao Foundation Establishment, Wang Yu's capital became even more abundant. So what if it's Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage?

"If it weren't for Chang Xi's scheme, wanting to use Wang's Identity to obtain greater Harvesting, how could there have been the disaster of Withered Leaf City? You forced this."

Lan Boting glared angrily, "Chang Xi was too greedy, she brought it upon herself, but you shouldn't have harmed this venerable one as well."

"Venerable one? Heh--"

Wang Yu sneered, revealing a disdainful expression.

"Boastful and shameless, based on you, do you still need Wang to scheme against you? With Fellow Daoist Lan's temperament, you'll die in some remote corner sooner or later, with no one to collect your corpse~"

"Impudent!"

Sword Light arose, like surging rivers.

The High-Grade Magic Artifact Long Sword directly unleashed overwhelming River Sword Aura, each strike possessing the power to crush a Qi Condensation Cultivator. Realm + Magic Artifact is the peak period for human Cultivators.

Wang Yu had just achieved Breakthrough and had not yet Refined the Earth Element Cauldron and Glazed Soul Lamp. As he twisted his body to fly upwards, the River Sword Aura all turned together and continued to attack him.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Damn!"

Strategically despise the enemy, tactically value the enemy.

Lan Boting, Origin from the Heavenly Void Sword Sect, even if not top-tier among his generation and never entered the [Righteous Qi Institute] to study, his Sword Art was still fierce.

Placed in the same Realm, he is definitely considered top-tier.

Not to mention Wang Yu, who had just achieved Breakthrough and whose other Means hadn't had time to be upgraded yet, he needed to take it seriously!

Between chasing and fleeing, Wang Yu quickly took stock of the abilities he had mastered. First Tier Mystical Arts were out of the question. They might be okay for dealing with Early Foundation Establishment Stage, but they were far too lacking for dealing with Lan Boting.

Then there were only the Demonic Path Strange Art [Soul-Devouring Evil Armor Technique], and [Profound Yin Hand], one of the core Means of the Yellow Springs Temple. Only these two could help him in this battle.

Especially the Second Grade Upper Rank Mystical Art, Profound Yin Hand.

Foundation Establishment True Essence + Great Accomplishment Realm is enough to unleash the profundity and full power of this Technique, far from being comparable to the minor skirmishes of the Qi Condensation Stage.

To win, Profound Yin Hand will be the key to victory.

Cannot be used lightly.

Facing hundreds of River Sword Aura chasing relentlessly, Wang Yu's heart stirred. He flew towards the direction he came from. There was a Late Second Tier monster beast there, perhaps a Goal he could use to his advantage.

Lan Boting, seeing his disheveled figure, immediately laughed heartily.

"So what if you achieved Breakthrough? You're still just an ant, just like months ago. I even have to thank you for the Spiritual Qi Fluctuations you caused, guiding this venerable one's direction."

Having said that, he leaped forward, pulling out a light blue Spirit Light, his speed several times faster than Wang Yu's.

"Boom--"

At this moment, the River Sword Aura river finally caught up to Wang Yu. At the instant the two were about to collide, an Ice Wall appeared beneath his feet.

At the same time as he stomped down fiercely.

His body's power erupted, like a charging force or a spring launching, his entire person shot out, suddenly accelerating for a distance and thus escaping the dangerous situation.

And the Ice Wall was directly destroyed by the River Sword Aura, emitting a loud noise, and continued to chase after Wang Yu, giving a feeling of being relentless.

Lan Boting, who witnessed everything from behind, was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting Mystical Arts to be used like this. Not being able to take down a newly advanced Foundation Establishment who hadn't even cultivated Escape Technique yet, made him somewhat angry.

With a wave of his right hand, the Storage Pouch hanging at his waist bloomed with Spirit Light, and a Magic Artifact emerged.

"Demon Binding Cord, go."

He became impatient and directly used Means specifically targeting Demonic Cultivators. Wang Yu, catching a glimpse of the yellow light far exceeding the speed of the River Sword Aura from the corner of his eye, felt his heart leap, and a premonition of unease arose.

"There's also a Second Grade Upper Rank Magic Artifact?"

Fast! Too fast!

Because the distance between the two was not far to begin with, the yellow light rope arrived beside Wang Yu almost in the blink of an eye.

With a whoosh, it bound him tightly.

His hands were forcibly twisted behind his back, and his legs were also forcibly brought together. This Demon Binding Cord actually bound him into a worm shape. Even with veins bulging on his forehead from exertion, he couldn't break free with the power of a Body Cultivator.

This Magic Artifact has a reputation. It cannot be broken open with brute force!

"An ant is just an ant."

With a disdainful tone, hundreds of River Sword Aura finally collided with Wang Yu. In the sky full of Spiritual Qi light particles, the figure casting a spell to condense Black Baleful Armor was sent flying hundreds of meters.

"Cough cough--"

The Soul-Devouring Evil Armor Technique, as a High-Grade Demonic Path Strange Art, prioritizes Divine Sense defense. The Souls obtained from Soul Devouring are mostly Second Grade Souls, making its power extremely great.

Facing Lan Boting's River Sword Aura, it was somewhat weak.

Struggling to jump up from the Mud Pit, Wang Yu coughed up blood repeatedly. Fortunately, this Demon Binding Cord did not have the Effect of sealing True Essence, otherwise the Result would have been hard to say.

Lan Boting's blue Spirit Light stayed above him.

Speaking condescendingly.

"Not running anymore?"

"Heh, why don't you turn around and take a look."

Wang Yu's confident tone made Lan Boting feel uneasy. He swept his Divine Sense backwards, but found nothing, and immediately felt annoyed.

"At this time, still using..."

"Roar!!!"

In the blink of an eye, the Swamp was blasted open with a large hole. The huge monster beast, over twenty meters long, like a flood dragon emerging from its lair, soared into the sky from underground.

Its already ferocious head, under the blessing of the Bloodline Secret Technique, transformed into a huge mud dragon head, biting down fiercely towards Lan Boting.

"I--"

*Smack*~

Like eating a small snack, the monster beast landed with a bang, looking somewhat puzzled in Wang Yu's direction, but there was no one there except for a few messy footprints.

Just as it was about to come over to take a look, blue light suddenly emerged from its mouth.

Lan Boting, covered in stomach Liquid and disgusting digestive matter, rushed out in extreme disarray, his eyes almost spitting fire in embarrassment.

A broken tusk was still stuck in his calf, completely piercing through it, and blood flowed non-stop.

"Bastard, ya ya ya ya!"

River Sword Secret Art - Water Sky Line.

A mere Late Foundation Establishment Stage monster beast was not yet in his eyes. Before Third Grade, human Cultivators held an absolute advantage, not to mention a disciple of his Origin from a hegemonic Faction.

What annoyed him was being misled by Wang Yu's inferior Means.

The attack actually came from underground.

The Sword Aura condensed to the extreme transformed into a long line, possessing some of the mystique of Sword Qi turning into silk. Seemingly ordinary, it actually contained terrifying destructive power.

The monster beast roared to the sky and stomped its short legs.

The surrounding Swamp began to boil, and filthy mud washed upwards, but it was directly split open from the middle by the blue line.

With unabated momentum, it struck the monster beast's back armor, leaving a wound deep enough to see bone. It couldn't help but cry out in pain and became enraged.

It actively unleashed the mud ball ability that Wang Yu had seen before.

In this Domain, they engaged in a one-on-one wild fight.

But how could Lan Boting willingly let his plan of diverting disaster to the east succeed? With a pull of his right hand, Wang Yu, who was in a state of invisibility, was pulled in due to the pull of the Demon Binding Cord on his body.

He was also pulled into this vast mud ball Domain that was endlessly regenerating and could quickly recover even if broken.

Lan Boting could sense Wang Yu's position by relying on the connection between his True Body and Magic Artifact, but the monster beast could not. In its eyes, its opponent was only him.

The great battle reignited.

Sword Light and mud splattered, and scales and flesh fell from time to time. Wang Yu shrank to the edge of the mud ball Domain. Gritting his teeth, he actively severed his left arm.

In this way, a gap appeared in the binding of the Demon Binding Cord. As Phantom Form Step was used, a Phantom Body with substance was left behind to replace him being bound.

His True Body quickly shifted direction, just waiting for an opportunity.

In the three-way battlefield, one person and one beast were engaged in a life-and-death struggle. It must be said that the monster beast's body was extremely powerful. Even though it was already covered in wounds, it still erupted with powerful combat strength.

As expected of a Dragon Seed Bloodline monster beast, it still has some tricks up its sleeve.

"Damn it, cough cough--"

On the other hand, Lan Boting, although he had the advantage, also began to cough up blood. In this mud ball Domain, the monster beast's innate Mystical Arts power greatly increased, and every strike needed to be carefully guarded against.

"Sacrifice the scabbard with blood, sacrifice the body to the Sword."

"Blood Essence Sword, quick!"

As if having made some kind of resolution, Lan Boting used his trump card Means. In an instant, Blood Light burst forth, and terrifyingly cold Sword Qi, like a crack.

Crooked and distorted, but carrying extreme sharpness.
