Chapter 520: Chapter 280: Dragon Lake City, Dugu Shanxuan_2
Gradually, it caught the attention of the higher-ups of the Demon Suppression Army, who even sent a Heavenly Level Demon Extermination General to investigate personally.
But undoubtedly, that Golden Core Realm cultivator also lost contact.
And that Heavenly Level Demon Extermination General was none other than Dugu Shanxuan.
Once on the battlefield, Lu Yun was attacked by Sect Master Yin Wujie of the Netherworld Sect and was suppressed by the Netherworld Gate. It was Dugu Shanxuan who came to his aid, allowing Lu Yun to escape.
Lu Yun has always remembered such kindness, so he abandoned his mental training right away when he received the news from Dugu Yuan and came to Dragon Lake City.
“Dugu Shanxuan and the Demon Suppression Army have lost contact for two days now, it’s likely a bad situation, I must hurry.”
As his finger, containing immense power, landed on the city wall, a powerful shield was immediately activated.
“It seems that the culprit causing changes in Dragon Lake City is still here.”
Lu Yun muttered quietly.
Boom!
With a slight clench of his fist, a roar in the void resounded.
Within Lu Yun’s body, a terrifying power condensed, as if one punch could shatter the void before him.
“With the strength of my current physical body, I can suppress even a late-stagc Golden Core Realm expert, so a mere shield couldn’t possibly stop me.”
Lu Yun’s eyes shone brightly, and immediately, the thirty-five Imperishable Golden Bones within him were activated, and the explosive force was released.
*Crack!*
At that moment, the barrier enveloping the city wall and covering the sky and earth was shattered.
The powerful aftermath caused the huge city to sway and the moat to surge with waves.
“Hm?”
Lu Yun’s eyes suddenly sparkled as he looked towards the end of the city gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground rumbled, and an endless stream of blazing heat converged. Amidst that enormous fireball, there was an extremely sinister and dark aura.
With these two extreme attributes combined, Lu Yun slightly frowned.
And more importantly, Lu Yun noticed a familiar figure within that fireball.
“Dugu Shanxuan?!”
With a flash in his eyes, Lu Yun immediately guessed the other’s identity.
However, Dugu Shanxuan’s current state was quite unnatural and far from normal.
Gone were the days of his domineering prowess, replaced by rigidity and sinisterness.
“Kill!”
The moment Dugu Shanxuan saw Lu Yun, he uttered a cold word from his mouth, releasing an explosive killing intent. The sea of fire that enveloped his body spread at an incredibly fast pace, attacking Lu Yun.
This powerful flame greatly exceeded the might of Seventh Rank White Lotus Flame.
Even an Eighth Stage White Lotus Flame would be inferior in terms of power and explosiveness.
And within this flame, there was a sinister and dark force.
This force was faintly familiar to Lu Yun; he seemed to have encountered it somewhere before, but he could not remember the specific time or place.
“Sky Lion Shaking the Sky!”
With a squint of his eyes, Lu Yun looked at the terrifying incoming sea of fire. He swung his arm, and a powerful force erupted, shattering the sea of fire.
A cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm was practically nothing to the current Lu Yun.
To prevent any harm to Dugu Shanxuan, Lu Yun merely used less than 30% of his strength.
However, the result was somewhat unexpected for Lu Yun. This punch did not have any effect on Dugu Shanxuan and barely managed to break his attack.
“His strength has increased, reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm.”
Surprise flashed in Lu Yun’s eyes. Although he didn’t know much about Dugu Shanxuan, he knew that he was similar to Dugu Yuan. It wasn’t easy for an early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator to advance to the mid-stage Golden Core Realm.
Without a great fortune, it is absolutely impossible to break through within a few years or even more than a decade.
Now in this battle, the opponent’s strength is definitely not as simple as the early stage of the Golden Core Realm
Even compared to Mo Wuzong, it’s not much weaker.
At the moment when Lu Yun was surprised, a flaming long knife had already appeared in Dugu Shanxuan’s hand, and the scorching flame ripped through the sky, bringing with it a howling sound, slashing horizontally.
Lu Yun concentrated his mind, and then urged the Imperishable Golden Bones on his arms to grab the terrifying flame long knife, and then pointed at Dugu Shanxuan’s eyebrows to forcibly stop him and investigate the situation.
However, just as Lu Yun’s spiritual power was about to invade Dugu Shanxuan’s Sea of Consciousness, it was suddenly repelled by a powerful spiritual force.
Following that, Dugu Shanxuan became even more ruthless, and the sinister and dark power surrounding him began to increase.
“Damn it, has he been controlled by someone?”
Lu Yun was angry and shocked at the same time.
Dugu Shanxuan, a dignified Golden Core Realm powerhouse, a cultivator of Martial Arts Will, almost standing at the pinnacle of the martial arts pyramid, was actually controlled by someone, whose strength had reached an incredibly terrifying level.
“Die!”
Dugu Shanxuan’s gaze suddenly became sharp, and he no longer appeared dull. Over eighty runes, filled with a massive amount of Law Aura, were added to the flame long knife, attacking Lu Yun.
Chi chi chi!
The towering city wall collapsed with a bang, countless surrounding buildings turned into dust, and in the end, all that remained was the earth-shattering long knife and the endless sea of fire.
Looking at the crazy Dugu Shanxuan, Lu Yun had a bad taste in his heart.
The other party had shown kindness to him in the past, but now he found himself in such a situation, which filled his heart with sympathy.
However, he absolutely couldn’t let this madness continue.
Otherwise, when his potential was completely exhausted, his downfall would come.
Forcing his strength to the late stage of the Golden Core Realm was a huge consumption for Dugu Shanxuan’s physical body.
“I can only wrong you for a while.”
As he spoke, he transformed into a purple bolt of lightning and rushed over. With a bang, Lu Yun’s aura becameg stronger. He threw a punch wrapped in a torrential divine might and smashed it towards Dugu Shanxuan.
At this time, Dugu Shanxuan had no scruples about stimulating his potential, and his strength was approaching the late Golden Core Realm. Lu Yun dared not be too reserved. Additionally, without hurting his foundation, he tried his best to subdue him as soon as possible, and he had to bring out his full strength.
Dugu Shanxuan’s scarlet eyes glowed brighter, revealing a glimmer of fierceness. He did not avoid the attack, but instead approached, his whole body burning with a scorching flame that seemed to scorch the void. His long knife was covered in runes, and the aura of laws was as vast as an ocean.
“I’m sorry.”
Lu Yun’s fist, containing the Imperishable Golden Bones, fell heavily, slashing the flame long knife away and sweeping his fist with terrifying residual power towards Dugu Shanxuan’s body.
Crack!
The sound of bones rattling was deafening, and the hand holding the knife suddenly drooped down. Dugu Shanxuan flew backwards through the air.
And then, Lu Yun transformed into a purple lightning and chased after him, pointing again at his eyebrows, only to be blocked by his single arm. Following that, Dugu Shanxuan rotated his body, swinging his legs continuously, kicking at Lu Yun.
His legs were like an endless phantom, blood-red in color, with flames surging around, aiming only at Lu Yun’s vital points.
Lu Yun flipped his body, stepped on the air, and flew over like a shooting star. He stomped on Dugu Shanxuan with a foot from midair, knocking him heavily onto the ground, creating a gigantic crater.
“Suppress!”
With a low shout from Lu Yun, a black light refracted from his feet, and the Netherworld Gate turned into a huge doorway, quickly suppressing Dugu Shanxuan.
As the Netherworld Gate appeared, the void shuddered, and the entire city seemed to explode.
The Netherworld Gate was of an incredibly high level, close to a mid-level Treasure Artifact. With the support of the Seven-color Stone, it could almost rival top-grade treasures, and its suppressing power was unimaginable.
“Ah…”
Dugu Shanxuan tried to stand up, but under the powerful suppression of the Netherworld Gate, he couldn’t succeed. Instead, he sank deeper and deeper into the ground.
Lu Yun slowly landed and walked towards Dugu Shanxuan, who was suppressed to the ground.
Looking at his ferocious face and trembling body, Lu Yun flicked his finger, and a golden rune flew out, landing on Dugu Shanxuan’s body.
“Hmph, let me see who it is that has controlled you.”
Lu Yun once again pointed at Dugu Shanxuan’s eyebrows..
