Urban Invincible Overlord

The woman with the surname Jiang and the woman with the surname Su chased for dozens of miles but ultimately lost Lu Jianxing’s trail and had to stop.

"Senior Sister, that person... such speed," Junior Sister Su’s voice was tinged with disbelief, "But Brother Lu is at the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and even he couldn’t capture him immediately upon discovery?"

Senior Sister Jiang furrowed her brows: "That person could lie in wait under our noses and eavesdrop, also avoiding my earlier probing. His realm is no ordinary matter."

She paused, her tone growing heavier: "When you and I were talking earlier, I was releasing my divine sense to survey the surroundings and found nothing unusual. Yet, he managed to conceal himself until Brother Lu returned and discovered him. Such concealment techniques could only be achieved by a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse."

"Nascent Soul Stage?" Junior Sister Su drew a sharp breath.

"Very likely," Senior Sister Jiang nodded slowly, "If not at the Nascent Soul Stage, how could he remain unscathed under my divine sense probing? Moreover, the speed at which he escaped earlier, even Brother Lu couldn’t catch up immediately. Such escape techniques are not something an ordinary Core Formation cultivator can possess."

Junior Sister Su’s face immediately turned pale: "Then... didn’t he eavesdrop on our conversation? About that divine medicine..."

"Shut up!" Senior Sister Jiang snapped, a flash of anger in her eyes, "Can you not keep your mouth in check? Earlier, you just blabbed without restraint. Haven’t you learned your lesson?"

Junior Sister Su quickly clammed up, a grievance written all over her face.

Senior Sister Jiang took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down: "Things have come to this, panic is useless. Fortunately, Brother Lu has already gone after him. With his cultivation and familiarity with the terrain, he should be able to detain that person."

"But..." Junior Sister Su hesitated, "If that person really is at the Nascent Soul Stage, Brother Lu alone..."

"Don’t worry," Senior Sister Jiang interrupted her, "Brother Lu is at the mid-stage Nascent Soul and possesses a supreme treasure, making him unmatched among his peers. If that person is really at the Nascent Soul Stage, he should be at the early stage. Otherwise, why would he have run upon seeing Brother Lu? Brother Lu capturing him is no problem."

She spoke, looking into the distance: "We should just wait here. Considering Brother Lu’s speed, he should return soon."

Her eyes flashed with a murderous intent, her voice cold: "No matter who this person is, having overheard matters he shouldn’t have, he can’t be left alive."

Junior Sister Su also nodded silently. She had caused the trouble and now hoped that Lu Jianxing would capture the person to prevent any news from leaking out. However, with their limited realms, they couldn’t help and had to wait at the original spot.

Meanwhile, Lu Jianxing was dashing through the night sky at an astonishing speed.

His tunneling light was like a meteor, tearing through the sky, where even the air was split apart, emitting sharp sonic booms.

However, he was increasingly astonished at heart.

The person’s escape technique ahead was too exquisite, interchanging Earth Escape, Wind Escape, and Water Escape without the slightest pause.

"Hmph, he has some skill," Lu Jianxing chuckled coldly, a playful gleam in his eyes, "But do you think such minor tricks can help you escape from me?"

Earlier, in the manor, he sensed someone eavesdropping in the dark and immediately used his divine sense to probe, only to find the person’s concealment technique was exceptionally brilliant. If he hadn’t returned early, it might have been hard to detect.

What surprised him more was that as soon as his divine sense locked onto the person, they immediately sensed it and chose to escape without hesitation. Such quick response and decisiveness left him somewhat impressed.

But so what?

In the face of absolute power, any dazzling means are but futile.

With a thought, Lu Jianxing’s spiritual power surged, and the speed of the tunneling light behind him abruptly increased, like a lightning bolt across the sky.

An azure flying sword shot out from his dantian, transformed into a stream of light enwrapping him, chasing forward at an incredible speed.

This was the sword flight technique only Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could master, whose speed reached extreme limits, far beyond what Core Formation cultivators could achieve.

Indeed, after just a few moments, he had closed the distance with the escaping person, and his powerful divine sense precisely locked onto the other’s body, leaving no place to hide.

Oh, you’re fast enough, but to escape right under my nose, you still fall short.

Lu Jianxing sneered inwardly, his body ghostly appearing not far behind the person in the void, a thought moving, and his flying sword striking out.

In the mountain forest below, Yang Fei, speeding with Earth Escape, thought he could delay slightly more time, but suddenly felt a tightening pressure, that sensation of being precisely locked by a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse’s divine sense reappeared.

What a fierce aura!

This aura is several times stronger than the True Monarch Cang Yuan back then, almost reaching Zhong Yilai’s level.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul!" Yang Fei cursed inwardly, resigning to his misfortune.

Traveling in the Southern Domain World, he considered himself as a direct disciple of the Shang Qing Sect with a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, carrying several Immortal Grade treasures for safety, only to find the Nascent Soul Stage was more prevalent than he imagined.

Nascent Soul Stage is supposed to be the pinnacle in most cultivation sects and aristocratic families, yet when it’s my turn to roam the martial arts world, they’re as common as cabbages on the street?

Since coming to the Southern Domain Cultivation World, it’s like kicking a hornet’s nest, encountering nothing but formidable people.

Previously, he had crossed paths with True Monarch Cang Yuan, aware of the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses’ terror.

But True Monarch Cang Yuan was only at the early Nascent Soul, with his trump cards and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Talisman, he could barely contend.

But this one, so much stronger in aura than Cang Yuan, clearly a mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, impossible to fight against, so fleeing is the only option, not letting the other know he has a life-saving magic treasure, must escape unexpectedly and directly.

Damn, good thing I have the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl as an exploit, otherwise, who knows how many times I’d have already died.

With a thought, he communicated with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, instantly disappearing from this world.

Lu Jianxing, whose divine sense was locking onto Yang Fei, suddenly froze.

He widened his eyes, scanning around, sending out a massive wave of divine sense that covered tens of miles and then quickly expanding, covering a three-hundred-mile radius, still failing to find the aura he had locked onto, leading him to stare dumbfounded, disbelief on his face: "What?"

"Vanished? How is this possible?"

"What kind of escape technique is this? Even the Thousand-mile Divine Travel Talisman doesn’t have such an effect!" Lu Jianxing was utterly shocked in his heart.

He had cultivated for hundreds of years, seen countless talismans and escape techniques but never encountered something so outrageous.

The person just moments ago was clearly in front of him, with no unusual aura, yet suddenly vanished out of thin air?

As if they completely peeled away from this Plane World, leaping out of this world entirely.

"Could it be an Immortal Talisman?" A seemingly absurd thought arose in Lu Jianxing’s mind.

It shouldn’t be possible.

Not to mention the Immortal Talisman, even the highest-grade Divine Talisman is hard for him to acquire, much less a mere Core Formation cultivator?

In their recent chase, when he finally locked onto Yang Fei’s body, he had probed Yang Fei’s realm’s truth, thus feeling even more shocked inside.

A Core Formation cultivator could actually escape from under his nose; if this spread out, he’d have no face.

If it were genuinely an Immortal-level teleportation talisman, perhaps it could achieve such a level.

But Immortal Talismans are incredibly precious; the entire Southern Domain would barely have a few. How could it appear on a mere Core Formation cultivator?

"No, something must be wrong!" Lu Jianxing’s expression darkened, searching the surroundings again.

He released his divine sense, probing inch by inch, even a thousand feet beneath, yet he still found nothing.

That eavesdropper really just magically vanished like that.
