Chapter 712 - 712 Updated 63 Mountain Peak Part 1
712: Updated: Chapter 63 Mountain Peak (Part 1) 712: Updated: Chapter 63 Mountain Peak (Part 1) Countless paper scraps danced in the wind.
As the paper scraps fluttered, countless moonbeams rose from the ground, like a reversed flowing spring, sweeping towards the heavenly peak.
The shattered Earth Dragon barrier was reconstituted by the white paper, forming a great circle.
“Lord Wu, long time no see…
How have you been?”
A mellow and gentle laugh came from deep within the snow of paper.
Wu Zhexian squinted his eyes, staring fiercely at the elusive figure hidden behind the curtain of snow.
Great Yue Kingdom.
He had once met Lu Yuzhen.
But it was merely a meeting.
That day, his mission was to bring the Treasure Ship away from the Northern Territory and return to Great Chu.
During the battle with the Peacock Venerable, Wu Zhexian devoted half of his heart power to guard against this “Paper Taoist.” He knew this person acted unpredictably and irrationally.
However, to his surprise, Lu Yuzhen did not participate in the battle from start to end, merely serving as a “spectator.”
If Lu Yuzhen had decided to challenge the emperor of Great Chu and launched a sneak attack, it would have been the perfect plan.
Even with his Martial Arts Saint Body, he would have suffered severe injuries.
Was it because of the disparity between humans and demons, and a shred of conscience that he chose to stand by?
Or was it the fear of unpredictable outcomes that made him reluctant to join the fight?
For whatever reason…
Lu Yuzhen’s “withdrawal” was a blessing to Wu Zhexian.
Luckily, no third Yang God joined the battlefield, allowing him to head south smoothly and escape safely.
“No wonder you’re not afraid of death.”
Wu Zhexian lowered his head and sneered, “So someone has your back.”
“…”
The pale face of the White Ghost could no longer muster a smile.
He lay on the ground, silently gazing at the end of the paper snow.
Bang!
Wu Zhexian suddenly stomped out, unsurprisingly hitting nothing.
The vast paper snow whirled, instantly drowning the White Ghost.
That stomp was so powerful it shattered the ground!
However, the White Ghost was instantly dragged by the white paper and taken a hundred feet away, directly under Lu Yuzhen.
Wu Zhexian retracted his toe, stood calmly, and did not continue to strike…
The moment Lu Yuzhen revealed himself, the nature of the battle changed.
He turned around, looking at Mo Taoist and Joyful Zen Master, who sat dazedly as if petrified on the spot, their expressions shocked and complex.
Some things just couldn’t be acted out.
Evidently.
The relationship between the White Ghost and Lu Yuzhen…
Mo Taoist and Joyful Zen Master had no idea!
Wu Zhexian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Irony!
Such irony!
Yin Mountain led the way, the Heavenly Puppet Sect and Hehuan Sect were forced to compromise and submit to Great Chu…
It led to this grand campaign to purge the demons!
However, who would have thought that the instigator Yin Mountain would turn out to be the greatest traitor of this campaign?
“So…”
Wu Zhexian chuckled, “The Undying Spring on him…
is yours?”
“Just a wisp of water vapor.”
Lu Yuzhen smiled faintly, not denying it.
The Undying Spring, such a divine artifact, whoever carried it would become the target of the world’s assault…
Unless it was someone like Zhao Chunyang, an unparalleled giant.
Otherwise, who wouldn’t want a piece of it?
For the past decade, Lu Yuzhen clearly commanded the wind and rain, oppressing the Three Great Sects of South Border to not dare to lift their heads, yet he remained extremely low profile, with no one knowing his name, face, or whereabouts.
It was likely due to the Undying Spring; he possessed the most supreme divine artifact in the world.
Once exposed, he would become the target of all under heaven.
Wu Zhexian did not expect Lu Yuzhen to admit it so straightforwardly.
His expression grew heavy, “Just a wisp of water vapor…
Do you have more on you?”
The conversation became so blatant that Lu Yuzhen merely smiled gracefully and threw back an obvious question, “What do you think?”
Wu Zhexian suddenly stood up.
He took a step forward, thundering!
This was the true power of a Martial Artist in the Yang God Realm, covering a hundred feet in an instant.
A fierce wind swept through.
That punch pierced through the void, directly aiming at the Paper Taoist’s chest!
Bam!
Countless pieces of white paper flew like knives, cleaving towards Wu Zhexian.
This Martial Artist in the Yang God Realm remained unfazed, his expression resolute.
Cloaked in great Dao intent, golden flames burned fiercely, igniting each of the paper scraps.
Wu Zhexian advanced, his figure soaring in the air, kicking up a scorching red-hot phantom…
Lu Yuzhen’s expression did not change, not retreating.
He merely pulled the White Ghost and threw him backward, while extending a palm, his palm facing out to block his chest.
Bang!
In just a split second, the explosion reverberated in his palm.
Not dodging or evading was exactly what Wu Zhexian anticipated, unleashing his tremendous great Dao intent in an instant.
“Ugh.”
Lu Yuzhen couldn’t help but grunt, looking at the man in front of him with a mix of surprise and admiration.
Since their last meeting, Wu Zhexian’s strength had advanced again…
This was indeed the strongest Body Refiner Great Chu had seen in nearly a century.
His cultivation progress was astonishingly fast!
The powerful energy erupted from that punch was immense.
Lu Yuzhen regretted his decision to take it head-on for a moment.
But once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.
Since he chose to withstand it, he did not relent, planting his feet firmly.
No matter what, he did not leave the ground.
As the powerful energy pierced his skin, flesh, and bone, this punch could nearly cripple any weaker counterpart in the same realm.
Lu Yuzhen uncontrollably slid a hundred feet back, only stopping at the edge of the entire “White Paper Cave Heaven.”
Disbelieving, he opened his palm, with just one punch, his palm was already drenched in blood, and his skin entirely shattered.
No wonder they say, do not engage in a melee with a Body Refiner of the same realm, nor engage in long-range combat with a Sword Cultivator of the same realm.
These are lessons written in blood.
“Ssss…”
Lu Yuzhen shook his hand, and the milky white vapor of “Life Breath” reappeared.
The White Ghost had used the Undying Spring, so there was no need for him to hide this trump card any longer.
The mist enveloped him, quickly healing the wounds.
This was the formidable trait of the divine artifact.
With “Life Breath” injected into the body, even the White Ghost could withstand Wu Zhexian’s assault.
Let alone someone of Lu Yuzhen’s caliber.
All of this happened in a split second.
Wu Zhexian’s assault did not stop; after delivering one punch, he continued to approach, but the “White Paper Barrier” had already been set up.
Every sheet of paper in this Grotto Heaven was as sharp as a blade.
Even a Martial Arts Saint Body had to be cautious.
Wu Zhexian moved with extreme speed, like a bolt of lightning, drawing a curved line in the barrier amidst the flying snow.
Finally, both he and Lu Yuzhen reached the edge of the barrier at the same time.
He leaped high, charging another punch with full force!

There will be a shorter update later.
Today’s updates might not be as much as the previous days.
I need to adjust my state a bit to ensure continuity for the upcoming major story arc.)
