"The world is unjust, so what's wrong with this seat upholding the weak?"

  Lu Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly looking at the pursuers in front of him.

  So many people, except for Fang Xuanying, the rest were all trash fish and rotten shrimp—this wasn't what Lu Yun said himself, but what his identification system told him.

  As for Fang Xuanying, she wasn't much of a big shot either; in her lifetime, inner sect elder was already her peak.

  "Hmph, big words!"

  "This old lady wants to see how much you're worth!"

  Fang Xuanying said, then lifted her sword and charged to kill!

  In her hand, the long sword repeatedly slashed out sword qi, and the terrifying sword intent instantly enveloped Lu Yun.

  "Nine Tribulations Cloud Thunder!"

  Lu Yun roared in his mouth, his whole body flickering with thunder light, followed by thunder rumbling in the sky.

  In an instant.

  Thunderbolts from the sky struck vertically around Lu Yun, forming a thunder field that covered the sky and blotted out the sun.

  Since stepping into the Golden Core stage, Lu Yun had never used his true strength.

  Today, without pushing himself, he didn't even know he was this badass!

  However.

  Facing him, Fang Xuanying saw that Lu Yun was getting serious and didn't hold back either.

  A void appeared behind her, and a huge long sword slowly protruded its tip from the void.

  Seeing this scene.

  The disciples behind Fang Xuanying all retreated in unison.

  Two Golden Core stage powerhouses going all out; these crab soldiers and shrimp generals wouldn't dare to get involved.

  The next moment.

  Countless thunderbolts shot out from Lu Yun's thunder field, and the giant sword behind Fang Xuanying also thrust out with killing intent.

  In an instant.

  The starlight dimmed, and the battle's aftermath spread for dozens of li, attracting many nearby forces who came to the edge of the battle's aftermath, quietly watching the two fighting in the air.

  A battle between two Golden Core stage powerhouses was rare even in the entire Northern Wilderness Continent.

  At the center of the battlefield.

  Lu Yun continuously controlled thunderbolts to shoot out, while also scattering talismans; the thunder light from the talismans mixed with his own thunder light and shot toward Fang Xuanying.

  Facing the dense attacks, although Fang Xuanying was in the late Golden Core stage, she didn't dare to be too careless.

  Her cultivation steadily suppressed Lu Yun by a level, but talisman cultivators had complex methods; no one knew what strange talisman they would pull out next.

  Therefore.

  Fang Xuanying continuously slashed down Lu Yun's thunder strikes; she was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Lu Yun's spiritual power to be exhausted.

  She was late Golden Core, Lu Yun was early Golden Core; even if she couldn't take him down in a short time, she wasn't panicked at all.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  Because in a war of attrition, her spiritual power was definitely deeper.

  Lu Yun knew this too, so while controlling the thunder, he was already thinking of a way to escape.

  He had a concealment talisman on him that could help him escape far away, but activating the concealment talisman had a brief startup time; if he used it directly, with Fang Xuanying's cultivation, she would definitely seize the opportunity to kill him.

  So.

  Before using it, Lu Yun needed to set the stage first.

  "Evil beast!"

  "Try this move from this seat!"

  Lu Yun raised his right hand high over his head, thunder electricity wildly flowing in his hand, as if all the thunder in heaven and earth were gathered by him.

  Seeing this scene.

  Fang Xuanying thought Lu Yun was going for a full-powered strike to decide the winner.

  At such a time, she naturally had to bring out her ultimate move too.

  Otherwise.

  Using a small skill to clash with someone else's big move, even if the opponent's cultivation was lower than hers, she wouldn't gain any advantage.

  Immediately.

  Fang Xuanying's long sword flickered in her hand, a piercing chill light flashing across the sword body that broke through the sky.

  The next second.

  Thousands of sword shadows converged on her long sword; this strike was terrifyingly powerful, let alone Golden Core stage, even half-step Nascent Soul probably couldn't withstand it head-on.

  This was precisely the terror of sword cultivators; their attack power far exceeded other cultivators of the same realm. Although their bodies were fragile, it didn't affect their ability to kill across realms.

  On the battlefield.

  Lu Yun held thunder and charged toward Fang Xuanying with lightning speed; Fang Xuanying also thrust her long sword toward Lu Yun.

  At this moment, both erupted with terrifying auras.

  If nothing unexpected happened, this strike would decide the battle's outcome.

  But how could Lu Yun be that stupid?

  Would he desperately fight with such a foolish woman?

  He had already secretly held the concealment talisman before gathering power for the big move, just waiting for Fang Xuanying to clash with him, then he could use the charge to conceal himself thousands of li away!

  Reality was just as Lu Yun thought; just as their ultimate moves were about to touch, the concealment talisman in Lu Yun's hand flashed, and Lu Yun's entire person disappeared from the spot.

  Leaving only Fang Xuanying alone, slashing wildly in place.

  "This bastard!"

  "Dare to toy with this old lady!"

  Fang Xuanying roared on the spot; earlier, seeing the opponent suddenly disappear right in front of her, she instantly felt she had been played!

  The opponent had no intention of deciding the winner with her but wanted to use the charging process to escape.

  Simply rotten to the core!

  "Talisman cultivators are all no good!"

  Fang Xuanying cursed, then turned and left.

  Although the opponent escaped today, she wasn't too worried; the opponent knew Yunxiao Sect so well and used an elder token to escape, he must be an internal member of Yunxiao Sect.

  Yunxiao Sect's elders were only so many; screening them wouldn't be troublesome at all.

  Once she returned to Yunxiao Sect, she could definitely drag this little thief out within a few days!

  On the other side.

  The escaped Lu Yun leaned against a tree, panting heavily.

  "Damn!"

  "Sword cultivators are disgusting!"

  Earlier, before he even clashed with Fang Xuanying, her sword qi had already injured him.

  Although not seriously, this terrifying power couldn't help but make Lu Yun fearful.

  However.

  The result was good; Gu Qiong escaped, he escaped too, and when he took Gu Qiong away, he didn't use his own elder token; that stupid woman named Fang Xuanying couldn't possibly trace it to him even if she investigated until next year.

  Only...

  The owner of this elder token would bring some trouble to Lu Yun.

  When he had time, he might need to pay a visit to that one.

  Thinking of this.

  Lu Yun let out a long sigh to the sky; if not forced, he really didn't want to get involved with the owner of this elder token again...

  Yunxiao Sect.

  Lu Yun changed into elder robes and leisurely walked over from outside the mountain gate.

  The disciple on duty saw Lu Yun and immediately opened the gate for him.

  "Elder Lu, why were you outside?"

  This disciple knew Lu Yun before and smiled as he spoke to him.

  "Haha, wasn't it that I felt someone fighting far away? The auras were quite strong, so I went to take a look."

  Lu Yun walked back into the sect, smiling as he replied.

  At this time, he had to act normal; the more normal you act, the less likely you are to be suspected.

  So.

  Walking back into the sect openly like this was actually the safest.

  "Oh oh oh, so that's it."

  The gate-guarding disciple nodded and said.

  He had also felt the distant battle earlier; if not for his duty, he would have wanted to go see too.

  "Yes indeed."

  "You're still on duty so late, hard work."

  Lu Yun said, patting the other, then took out two golden light talismans from his storage ring.

  "Here, this is for you, as encouragement; cultivate diligently in the future."

  "Haha, not hard, thank you Elder Lu."

  The gate-guarding disciple smiled on his face, happily accepting the talismans Lu Yun handed over.

  In the outer sect.

  Many cultivators knew that the talismans drawn by Elder Lu, who taught in the lecture hall, were good, but to get Elder Lu's talismans, one had to attend his classes; only then would he gift a drawn talisman to students after class.

  He didn't expect that today, encountering Elder Lu by chance, the other would give him two; truly lucky!
