Urban Invincible Overlord

"Yang...cough cough, Brother Yang, are you alright?"

Hu Lizhong saw Yang Fei from afar and expressed his concern.

Yang Fei composed his state of mind, looked up at him, and saw his concerned expression. He smiled and said, "I’m fine."

Hu Lizhong approached, rubbing his hands, and said, "Brother Yang, I sincerely apologize. I initially thought you were being held captive by that guy and sensed something was amiss, so I followed. I didn’t realize you were pretending to be captured by him, planning to act once he was lured to White Jade City. That way, you could ensure success without fail. It turns out that because I followed stealthily, he attacked me, disrupting your plan."

Yang Fei was slightly stunned, then laughed heartily, "Haha, Old Hu, don’t overthink it."

Hu Lizhong looked ashamed and continued, "I know that if he hadn’t suddenly attacked me earlier, Brother Yang’s plan wouldn’t have been disrupted. Once at White Jade City, you could easily suppress him. Earlier, he almost escaped. If he got away, given his prowess, it would be truly perilous. Also, you saved my life again; I owe you a debt I might never repay in this lifetime."

Yang Fei waved his hand, "Old Hu, we’re friends for many years; talking like this is unnecessary."

Hu Lizhong didn’t insist, nodded, and then recalled the earlier battle’s power. He couldn’t help but say, "Yang Fei, this guy is strong. Is he one of those legendary Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses? Have you reached the Nascent Soul Stage as well?"

Yang Fei said, "Hmm, this person is named Lu Jianxing, a mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse from the Southern Domain. His strength is indeed extraordinary. However, I haven’t reached the Nascent Soul Realm; I’m still a step away."

Hu Lizhong was dumbfounded, "Huh? He’s mid-stage Nascent Soul, and you...you haven’t even crossed into the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"Hmm."

"And yet you could suppress and kill him, this is..." Hu Lizhong felt his mind was a bit muddled.

Though Yang Fei had fought many battles where he defeated stronger opponents, that was when the difference in realms wasn’t too significant.

But today’s situation was different.

Lu Jianxing was a mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, and Yang Fei wasn’t even in the Nascent Soul Stage. The gap wasn’t just a small realm jump but a gap across a major realm.

He had heard before that Core Formation beats Foundation Establishment decisively, and Nascent Soul beats Core Formation the same way.

To reverse such a major realm gap and succeed in an uphill battle is nearly impossible.

At best, a weaker person might only escape through the use of special treasures and powerful attack talismans, barely fleeing from the stronger opponent.

A counter kill, in the normal situation in the Cultivation World, is almost unheard of.

But earlier, he witnessed Yang Fei counter kill Lu Jianxing firsthand, an undeniable fact.

Seeing Hu Lizhong’s shocked expression, Yang Fei chuckled and said, "Old Hu, I’ve counter killed the enemy; aren’t you happy?"

Hu Lizhong hurriedly said, "Of course, I am. It’s just that I’m too...too shocked. Earlier, the pressure and momentum you showed when counter-killing that guy were terrifying. The feeling it gave me was...it’s like you’re invincible here, like a god."

Yang Fei laughed, "Old Hu, your feeling is correct. To be honest, if I were in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, I couldn’t break this situation today, but in the Earth World, I’m a god now."

Hu Lizhong didn’t fully understand, but he raised his thumb, saying, "In any case, impressive. By the way, Yang Fei, didn’t you have a very powerful master there? How did you fall into the enemy’s hands?"

Yang Fei immediately stopped smiling and said seriously, "This matter is long and complicated. It’s hard to explain in a short time. I need to find a way to return first."

Although curious, Hu Lizhong heard this and didn’t ask further, but he wondered where Yang Fei meant to return.

Yang Fei’s figure flashed, disappearing from sight, soon returning with someone in his hands, which was Lu Jianxing’s body.

Although Lu Jianxing’s Divine Soul and Nascent Soul Body were suppressed by the Soul Binding Rope, his physical body wasn’t physically dead yet.

This was the body of a mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, an exceptional resource for the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace or the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.

Moreover, Yang Fei had already taken two storage bags from Lu Jianxing, one of which contained the Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Tower magic treasure.

In short, suppressing Lu Jianxing was quite rewarding.

Earth Cultivators lack high-end magic treasures, and the Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Tower is quite good.

Now Yang Fei’s combat power had returned to its peak. If not for being suppressed by Lu Guangyuan and Lu Jianxing earlier, he would have proceeded directly to the Southern Domain Cultivation World, quickly heading to the Shang Qing Sect.

But after this ordeal, even Jiang Yao got implicated, so Yang Fei had to reconsider and plan carefully.

Although he was worried about the situation at the Shang Qing Sect, his strength was insufficient, and given his fame, there could be many Southern Domain cultivators like Lu Guangyuan and Lu Jianxing wanting to take advantage of this opportunity against him and Earth.

Luckily, Lu Jianxing brought him back to Earth, allowing him to counter kill him.

If luck wasn’t on his side, and he met those ruthless evil cultivators, he might have been incapacitated right from the start, using the Soul Search technique and other methods to torture him, forcing him to hand over various Earth resources.

If it reached that point, his death would be insignificant, but he might involve other Earth people.

This essentially means people teach people who don’t understand, and events teach still learning ones.

Back then, Li Yang and Jiang Yao advised him to be cautious and hide back on Earth for safety, but he didn’t listen. Now, after this experience, he has awakened.

He needs to plan accordingly.

"Old Hu, you should keep guarding that area; the Southern Domain’s situation is unclear, changes may occur, so stay alert," Yang Fei advised Hu Lizhong.

Hearing this, Hu Lizhong’s heart tightened, replying solemnly, "Alright, rest assured, I’ll report back immediately if there’s any movement."

Yang Fei nodded and waved goodbye.

He piloted the Spirit Boat swiftly toward White Jade City.

Even now, he contemplated going to the Shang Qing Sect, but Lu Guangyuan guarded the entrance of the Transmission Channel at the Southern Domain’s end. If he ventures from here, he’ll first face Lu Guangyuan.

That’s a powerhouse of the early stage Divinity Transformation Realm. Though his combat power is at full capacity, he’s still no match for Lu Guangyuan.

Therefore, he can’t travel from the transmission channel to the Southern Domain.

In that case, he must first return to White Jade City to see if he can use the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to locate an alternate path to other areas in the Southern Domain.

If he avoids the vicinity of the Southern Domain’s Transmission Channel Entrance, then disguising himself and keeping a low profile might offer a safe route to the Shang Qing Sect.

Of course, if the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl can’t achieve that, he won’t hurry.

Back then, Jiang Yao fled, undoubtedly intending to quickly notify Wan Daorong and other powerhouses about his being captured by Lu Guangyuan.

Yang Fei believes Wan Daorong truly cares for him, and considering his significant value to the entire Shang Qing Sect, as long as they know of his peril, they certainly won’t abandon him.

His only concern is the condition of Helian Rong and others from Earth who are trapped in the Shang Qing Sect.
