Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 953: Chapter 948: Killing Spree!

”Who dares to fight me?”

As his booming voice echoed, Lü Yang swept his gaze across all the Immortal Pivot True Monarchs. He appeared completely at ease, as if everyone present made no difference in his eyes. Only World Purger Fei Xue and Taiyin Immortal Venerable managed to draw a slight narrowing of his eyes.

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Mansion.

”Who is this person?” Taiyin Immortal Venerable frowned. Since she had overseen the Celestial Mansion year-round and could not leave, she naturally had no idea of Lü Yang’s existence. For a moment, she felt bewildered and uncertain.

”This person is named Master of Tribulation,” World Purger Fei Xue said with a smile. ”He is suspected to be a Saint Sect True Monarch, but he severed his past upon reincarnation. With his Cultivation at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, he is nearly invincible, and he has stirred up quite a storm in the Immortal Pivot. In my opinion, in a one-on-one fight, other than you and me, I’m afraid only Fellow Daoist Gang Xing can fight him.”

”What...?” Hearing this, Taiyin Immortal Venerable furrowed her brow even deeper. After World Purger Fei Xue informed her of the intelligence regarding Lü Yang through Spiritual perception, she became even more confused.

She thought to herself, ”This shouldn’t be. If he is a Saint Sect True Monarch, how could I not recognize him?”

Of everyone present, not even World Purger Fei Xue knew her exact background, but she knew her own truth perfectly well. Her seniority within the Stain Sect was extraordinarily high. She was second only to the First Generation Peak Master!

Therefore, if he truly was a Saint Sect True Monarch, it was impossible for her not to know him. Yet, she completely failed to recognize Lü Yang’s Qi trace, nor did she have any impression of him in her memories.

However, with a major battle looming, she had no time to dwell on it. She could only say, ”No matter what, we must send someone over. Otherwise, if we let this person fight Bright Pearl Great Saint, Bright Pearl Great Saint will definitely be no match for him. The only result will be that, under the influence of the Victorious Technique Decreeing Fate Dao Chapter, all of his Mana will be assimilated by this man.”

After speaking, she looked at True Monarch Gangxing. ”Is Fellow Daoist willing to make a move?”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Gangxing’s gaze flickered slightly, but he then shook his head. ”What does the business of your Stain Sect have to do with me? I’m not going.”

Taiyin Immortal Venerable frowned immediately and had no choice but to look at World Purger Fei Xue again. The latter pondered for a moment before suggesting, ”Let’s send a few more people together.”

”As far as I know, although this person has also cultivated the Pocket World Technique and wields the Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood, he has not reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core, nor has he attached himself to anyone else. Therefore, he does not possess Immortal abilities. Under a joint attack from multiple sides, even if it is difficult to win quickly, we can still exhaust his Mana and force him to flee in defeat.”

With that said, World Purger Fei Xue shifted his gaze.

”Profound Turtle, Hai Guang, the two of you will strike... The Celestial Mansion will send one more person. Along with Bright Pearl, that makes four experts at the Middle Stage of Golden Core. If that doesn’t work, we’ll send even more reinforcements.”

Taiyin Immortal Venerable finally nodded. ”Good.”

Immediately after, she looked at an old man standing behind her. ”Du Xuan, you cultivate the Sun. Among the Mid-stage Immortal Monarchs, you are the most esteemed. You will fight in this battle.”

”Understood.”

Before long, Lü Yang saw three streams of Profound Light suddenly rise from the Celestial Mansion, swiftly converging with Bright Pearl Great Saint. Then, stirring up Spiritual Qi like an ocean, they blotted out the sky and earth, roaring toward his position. Raising his eyes for a glance, he immediately let out a chuckle. ”I didn’t expect them to all be familiar faces.”

There was no need to mention the Immortal Pivot. Even on the Celestial Mansion’s side, he was not unfamiliar with Du Xuan Immortal Monarch. Back in the Celestial Mansion, this Immortal Monarch had caused him no small amount of trouble. Hadn’t he also injured Progenitor Tingyou?

At this thought, a chilling intent of Killing surfaced in Lü Yang’s eyes. He sneered internally, ”Perfect timing. It’s about time to settle the scores from my previous lives!”

At the same time, the four people across from Lü Yang gathered together. Led by the True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven, they cupped their hands in a salute, and he smiled. ”Fellow Daoist Zhangjie, how have you been?”

Lü Yang did not answer; instead, he suddenly broke into a bright smile. When the already handsome young man smiled, it was as if Heaven and Earth brightened. In an instant, it captured all of the four people’s attention, even plunging them into a state of sluggishness.

In that split second, the four of them only felt that the Lü Yang before them was incredibly warm and amiable. His entire body exuded an awe-inspiring righteousness, making him seem like the greatest philanthropist of the current age. Unexplainable thoughts welled up in their minds as they couldn’t help but wonder if they should even attack. Striking such a righteous person would simply be a sin...

”Not good!!!”

In the next second, the True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven abruptly snapped out of it. He parted his lips and teeth, unleashing an earth-shattering roar that shattered all their stray emotions.

However, it was too late. In just that brief second, Boundless purple Qi had already swarmed over. Like a sweeping gale, it blew away the Current World, revealing another vast and magnificent scene.

The Righteous Banner — Enlightenment!

Lü Yang had not used the Profound Mysterious of this True Treasure for a very long time. Now that he unleashed it once more, catching them off guard, it instantly gave him the absolute upper hand.

Looking far into the distance, one could only see surging waves above and below, with purple Qi running rampant. Amidst it all, countless silhouettes of light could faintly be seen shuttling back and forth, emitting earth-shattering battle cries. Amazingly, it was the countless Banner Spirits from the Righteous Banner, arranged in military formations, clustering around the man with bound hair and a Profound Robe like stars surrounding the moon.

CLANG CLANG...

As the ringing of a sword echoed, Lü Yang slowly drew his blade from its sheath. The Sword Light of the Tribulation Wave rippled like flowing water, clear as a mirror, reflecting the figures of the four people.

”Strike!”

At this moment, a sense of crisis, intense to the Extreme, swept over them. The True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven and the other three could no longer hold back. Taking the initiative, they charged toward Lü Yang to initiate the Killing!

BOOM! Bright Pearl Great Saint brazenly self-destructed, bolstered by the Profound Mysterious of the Pearl Concealment Abyss, the boiling flames of light nearly covered the entire sky. Profound Turtle Great Saint also immediately formed a Daoist Hand Seal.

The Fruit of Thunderbolt Fire Profound Mysterious — General’s Order!

This Profound Mysterious did not land on Lü Yang. Instead, it fell upon the flames of light resulting from Bright Pearl Great Saint’s self-destruction. The originally chaotic flames instantly became disciplined.

The General’s Order could buff subordinates and elevate Profound Mysterious effects, much like a Commanding Soldiers general directing an army. Anything that received its blessing would obey its commands. At this moment, Profound Turtle Great Saint using his Profound Mysterious to augment the power of the self-destruction was akin to organizing a chaotic group of scattered stragglers into an elite force of powerful troops!

”Go!”

With a single command, the boiling flames converged instantly. No longer covering the sky, they instead transformed into a single thread of pinpoint light that shone directly onto Lü Yang’s face!

Profound Turtle Great Saint and Bright Pearl Great Saint, two Great Saints of the Demon Race, had depended on each other for survival Overseas for so many years. How could they not have a few coordinated techniques?

This single thread of pinpoint light truly possessed both the sharpness of Gold and the fierce intensity of fire. Yet, it was incredibly thin and weak-looking. Like a sharp dagger, it instantly stabbed at Lü Yang’s face. Even with his formidable Dharma Body, he couldn’t help but feel a slight burning pain, and his motion of drawing the sword paused for a fraction of a second.

Almost simultaneously, the True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven and Du Xuan Immortal Monarch also made their moves.

The True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven stabilized the Fruit of Wide-Brook Water and formed a Daoist Hand Seal. Plucking out a Profound Mysterious from within, he flicked his sleeve and hurled it forward. ”East Flowing Venerable!”

The Fruit of Wide-Brook Water drew its Qi from Yangming; its water momentum relied on its source, pouring eastward in surging torrents, its power swelling as it flowed. Now that it was projected outward, surging Splendid Light instantly filled Heaven and Earth!

This Profound Mysterious birthed its own dimension where Spiritual Qi was cut off. It could pull a person inside and suppress them on the spot. Unless their Mana and Position far exceeded that of the Profound Mysterious’s master, it would be difficult to break free. Now that it fell upon Lü Yang, it immediately caused Heaven and Earth to flip upside down in his vision. In the blink of an eye, he had already fallen into a new world.

Even so, the True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven still didn’t dare to be careless.

”Extinguish spirits, Destruction Technique, sever the Dao!”

Three resonant Dao decrees instantly annihilated the Spiritual Qi around Lü Yang, making it difficult for him to wield his Mana. His Fruit Position Profound Mysterious fell silent, wrapping around him like layers of heavy chains.

In the next fraction of a second, Du Xuan Immortal Monarch also unleashed a fatal strike.

”Kanli Chishou Jade!”

Lü Yang raised his eyes, only to see a Jade Ruyi chopping down right at his head. It had a colored glaze cover, and the handle was carved with the shapes of beasts like hornless dragons, tiger cubs, flies, and cicadas, reflecting the light of the Sun.

BOOM! By this moment, the four Perfected Lords at the Middle Stage of Golden Core had already exhausted all their methods. Layers upon layers of colorful lights and phantom illusions completely submerged Lü Yang’s figure.

Then, they saw Lü Yang glance around. With a leisurely expression, he casually took a step forward.

With that single step, even Heaven and Earth could not catch up. Regardless of how strong or weak the Profound Mysterious abilities of the four Immortal Monarchs were, they were all effortlessly left behind by Lü Yang’s step.

The Fruit of Post-Road Earth — Dao Without Borders!

The Fruit of Post-Road Earth was the Earth capable of turning the heavens and rotating the Sun, bearing oceans and riding mountains. It could reach anywhere across ten thousand nations. Once its gateway opened, the path ahead would be completely unobstructed, leaving only a wide and flat road!

With just this single move, the complexions of all four people changed drastically.

However, before they could retract their Profound Mysterious abilities to defend themselves, they heard a sword cry ring out by their ears. Following that, Heaven and Earth in their vision began to spin violently.

The Tribulation Wave, a Slash that killed the future!

Under this single sword strike, there was no luck, no other possibilities. Only a single image was reflected into the Great Net of Karma Links, transforming into an unshakable reality.

Four heads flew up into the air.

All of them had been decapitated!
