Chapter 1672 - 1669: Forced to Act Ahead of Time
Hearing Lu Jianxing’s voice, Yang Fei’s heart tightened. He hurriedly said, "Senior, please calm your anger. Has my friend caught up? He means no harm."
Lu Jianxing snorted coldly, "It’s this youngster, merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet he dares to tail me. If I don’t show him some power, he won’t know the rules of the Cultivation World."
As he spoke, the Flying Sword halted, turned in mid-air, and was about to return.
Yang Fei quickly said, "Senior, you came to Earth for something important. Why waste time on such matters? Moreover, my friend might be worried about me. His strength is weak and poses no threat to you. Why bother with him?"
Lu Jianxing glanced at him, seemingly considering whether to give Yang Fei this face.
But soon, his gaze turned icy, staring coldly at Yang Fei, "Kid, your life is in my hands now. I’ve already managed to enter the Earth World. With the Realm Barrier Law of the Transmission Channel, others above the Core Formation Stage from the Southern Domain can’t cross over. In this world, I am invincible. Do you think you’re qualified to negotiate with me?"
Yang Fei was secretly angry, only feeling that this guy was too arrogant.
Yet he also knew, according to the rules of the Cultivation World, the strong prey on the weak, and the strong are revered. This person, being a Mid stage Nascent Soul Powerhouse, is indeed invincible on Earth now.
With the God level Demon Suppression Talisman binding his Mana, and the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace temporarily unusable, he really had no confidence against Lu Jianxing.
The only thing he could rely on was the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl.
But now that he had returned to the Earth World, he didn’t know if communicating with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl could transport him to White Jade City.
As he pondered, a sound of something tearing through the air came from not far behind.
Hu Lizhong indeed followed up with Sword Control.
Yang Fei felt a bit moved. This guy apparently noticed he was being held hostage, worried for him, and followed.
But his good intentions backfired.
If Hu Lizhong hadn’t followed, all Yang Fei had to do was bring Lu Jianxing to White Jade City, and with the power of the Four Spirits Blood Array, plus the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace and people like Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang, it might not have been impossible to suppress Lu Jianxing.
In the distance, Hu Lizhong also noticed that it seemed Lu Jianxing had stopped, waiting for him, and from afar, he was already locked by a powerful Divine Sense, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Die!"
Lu Jianxing’s eyes flashed with icy light, about to kill Hu Lizhong.
To him, within a hundred li, a single Divine Sense pressure was enough to kill a weakling like Hu Lizhong, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Boom!"
However, just as Lu Jianxing unleashed his powerful Divine Sense, a deafening roar sounded in his Sea of Consciousness.
A formidable Divine Sense attack bore down on him.
Lu Jianxing was startled, but being a Mid stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, he instantly teleported away from Yang Fei, simultaneously retracting the Divine Sense pressure intended to kill Hu Lizhong, and fully confronting the Divine Sense assault from Yang Fei.
"Pfft!"
Several li away, Hu Lizhong’s face went pale instantly, spewing out a mouthful of blood.
Several li away, Lu Jianxing’s face also turned slightly pale, only feeling his mind buzzing.
"Kid, do you want to die too?" Lu Jianxing roared furiously, glaring at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei’s powerful Divine Sense communicated with the power elements of Earth Space, suspending his body high in the air.
He was secretly amazed at Lu Jianxing’s strong Divine Sense, managing to retreat unscathed after his surprise attack, only slightly wounded.
It seemed he had overestimated the strength of his own Divine Sense, which exceeded that of an early stage Nascent Soul Powerhouse, but compared to a mid-stage Nascent Soul, especially someone at Lu Jianxing’s mid-stage Nascent Soul Peak level, he was still somewhat inferior in Divine Sense.
Otherwise, with equivalent strength, Lu Jianxing’s Divine Sense would have collapsed or at least suffered severe damage from his previous attack.
Startled yet focused, Yang Fei concentrated on feeling the close connection between himself and the power rules of the surrounding world.
Since his last Cultivation to the Core Formation Stage, he noticed substantial improvement in his Tao Longevity Scripture, and his Divine Sense allowed him to comprehend Earth’s power laws.
As Li Er’s successor, under the Earth World rules left by Li Er, he had inherited part of Li Er’s Power Law, reaching a level of mastery in understanding the Earth Power System.
Closing his eyes, Yang Fei perceived the surrounding world as incredibly clear.
Every power element particle in the void appeared with exceptional clarity in his perception.
Under the driving force of his Divine Sense, these power element particles could form any rules he desired.
Realizing this, Yang Fei’s heart steadied.
This should be equivalent to the Domain Space of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
As long as it was within the range his Divine Sense could cover, everything fell within his power rules. In this range, he was invincible.
It should be like this.
His heart pounded as he suddenly opened his eyes, locking onto Lu Jianxing.
To prevent Hu Lizhong from being killed by this person, Yang Fei was forced to take action early, risking a surprise attack on Lu Jianxing.
Now he had completely enraged the opponent. Even if this guy still thought he had value and wouldn’t kill him, in his fury, he would surely kill Hu Lizhong and then torture him severely.
So now he had to hold on, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Though it takes long to describe, in reality, from the moment Lu Jianxing wanted to kill Hu Lizhong, to Yang Fei’s timely action to save Hu Lizhong, to Lu Jianxing’s subsequent escape and anger toward Yang Fei, and Yang Fei quickly sensing his special connection with the Earth power elements — all happened within a single breath.
As Yang Fei’s eyes opened suddenly, locking onto Lu Jianxing, Lu Jianxing’s angry expression suddenly turned to extreme fear.
A never-before-felt sense of danger made him tense up, almost teleporting away short distances!
Too dangerous!
This kid, at this moment, felt as if he were facing an ancestor.
No, it seemed even more terrifying than facing the ancestor.
This... how is this possible?
In his fright, Lu Jianxing was also utterly confused.
Even though Yang Fei had reached the Peak of the Late Stage Core Formation, bound by the God-level Demon Suppression Talisman left by the ancestor, with his Mana completely sealed, only his Divine Sense unfettered, how could he become this terrifying?
Improbable.
Must be a Blinding Technique.
Lu Jianxing forcibly steadied his emotions, watching Yang Fei with high vigilance.
He thought even if Yang Fei wasn’t bound by that Divine Talisman sealing his Mana, without using that Soul Binding Rope Magic Treasure, he still wouldn’t match against him.
Could it be that this kid hid a Special Treasure on him?
Lu Jianxing was poised to teleport away at any moment, yet unwilling to be scared off by Yang Fei, suspiciously watching him, "Kid, you... are you hiding a powerful Magic Treasure on you?"
