Chapter 44: Mutual Destruction

  Lu Yun activated the Ling Symbol's power to ignite his protective spiritual light. Seeing Ye Fei use various magical tools to attack him without success, he put down his guard and ignored Ye Fei's attacks, controlling the saw-toothed wheel disk to slash towards his head.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei also gave up his attack on Lu Yun and focused on resisting the saw-toothed wheel disk.

  The two had just clashed for a short while, and Ye Fei was already showing signs of defeat. The opponent's cultivation and magic weapons were all one level higher than his own, and even defending against them was extremely strenuous. Several times he narrowly escaped being heavily injured by Lu Yun, this battle was simply perilous beyond compare.

  Bang!

  A burst of light exploded in mid-air, and the two white daggers controlled by Ye Fei flew out with a shock. The saw-toothed wheel disk, without any resistance, shot out vaguely towards Ye Fei.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei hastily shook his sleeve, and with a whooshing sound, the grey long spear quivered slightly as it charged towards the saw-toothed wheel to block its way. Without looking back at the final result, Ye Fei's feet flashed with white light.

  A loud crash.

  With a leap, Ye Fei's figure appeared several zhang away, this time he had no chance of winning the fight, now his magic was greatly depleted, Ye Fei decisively used the Ling Step, and directly fled far away.

  Lu Yun was left far behind, Ye Fei let out a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the Ling Step, things would have been dire this time around. For now, he needed to find a place to recover his spiritual energy, as the previous expenditure had been too great.

  But afar, Lu Yun saw Ye Fei's flying sword and law instrument being abandoned, first stunned, then a corner of his mouth rose, coldly saying: "Hmph, thinking that with some body technique, you can escape my palm? Ridiculous!"

  After finishing speaking, Lu Yun patted the storage bag at his waist with one hand. With a flash of light, a talisman appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he cast a spell and stuck the talisman on his leg.

  A loud humming noise.

  Lu Yun's legs flashed with a blue light, and the surrounding air made a whooshing sound. With a single stomp of his feet, he vanished from his original spot, leaving behind a series of afterimages that chased after Ye Fei at an incredible speed, seemingly even faster than Ye Fei's own Ling Step technique by several degrees.

  Just as Ye Fei let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt an evil wind behind him. The white scabbard at his waist flashed, and with a "brushing" sound, a heavy curved knife flashed out. Hao Ran shot out towards the back.

  What's wrong!

  A serrated wheel disc suddenly collided with the curved knife, and Ye Fei's body twisted to one side, swooshing, at the same time, several ice cones blasted from Ye Fei's previous position.

  At almost the same time, Lu Yun's figure flashed and blocked Ye Fei's path, with a mocking expression on his face.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and then looked at the spiritual symbols flashing on Lu Yun's legs. He thought to himself: "Fight, can't win; escape, can't get away... Could it be that I'll fall here today?"

  Thinking of this, Ye Fei couldn't help but calm down. Since he can't escape, he can only continue to fight, but if he fights normally, he will definitely have no chance of winning. Ye Fei's mind started racing quickly.

  "Haha, you ran fast, but now you're almost out of breath. Even if a cultivator at the 8th level were to come, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to defeat them. Now, I'm not in a hurry to kill you, but rather want to torture you properly." Lu Yun said, and his figure suddenly became blurry and disappeared.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei's face changed slightly, and he hastily flashed his body towards a distant place.

  A loud crash.

  Ye Fei's body retreated several steps, a muffled hum came from his mouth, his face was pale, his breath was almost imperceptible. Lu Yun's figure appeared in front of Ye Fei, retracting the fist he had just stretched out.

  He touched his chest and felt a surge of turmoil inside, his heart racing with heat. With a sudden burst, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, looking like the injury was not light.

  Lu Yun's face was coldly smiling as he stared at Ye Fei, just then his complexion slightly changed, the yellow light shield outside his body twisted and deformed, revealing a tiny indentation.

  "What is this?" Lu Yun said with some confusion, vaguely seeing that outside the light shield, there was a nearly transparent flying needle attacking the protective spirit light.

  "High-order artifact? Hehe, not bad!" Lu Yun's eyes flashed with delight as he gazed at the transparent flying needle, but as soon as his finger touched the protective light shield, a yellow glow flashed and sent the flying needle flying back.

  "Haha, even if I stand here and let you attack, you still can't break through this protective spirit light. Why bother wasting your energy like this?" Lu Yun said with a pleased smile, somewhat teasingly.

  Just then, a strange long sword appeared in front of Ye Fei.

  This sword is about three feet long, with a completely black body. The half-foot wide blade has strange blood-red spiritual patterns etched onto it. On the back of the hilt, there are nine skull decorations the size of fingernails in grayish white color, emitting a faint glow.

  Ye Fei stared intently at the black long sword, his face also extremely solemn, with a hint of hesitation as he looked at Lu Yun's protective spirit light.

  "Hmph, pretending to be mysterious, I've told you it's pointless to waste your energy. Fine, I don't want to play with you anymore either, die then." Lu Yun felt a strange and ominous feeling rising from the bottom of his heart, faintly sensing a hint of danger.

  With a whoosh, the sawtooth wheel spun in mid-air, shaking slightly, and swept towards Ye Fei with a slash, accompanied by bursts of air-piercing sounds. In Lu Yun's opinion, Ye Fei was unable to withstand this blow, he only had dodging ability, however, this time there was no intention of giving Ye Fei the opportunity to dodge.

  Ye Fei gazed at the distant saw-toothed wheel, but he didn't show any intention of dodging. The hesitant expression on his face disappeared, as if he had made some kind of decision. He slowly raised his hand and cast a spell, and with a "whooshing" sound, he merged into the black long sword.

  A buzzing sound!

  A dark long sword flashed in the air, and a series of whistling sounds echoed around. Black air swirled around, looking eerie and strange to the extreme.

  Ye Fei immediately raised his hand and pointed at Hei Jian.

  Suddenly, the black long sword slightly trembled. The law force inside Ye Fei's body first condensed, then surged like a turbulent wave, pouring towards the black long sword.

  It wasn't Ye Fei's intention, he had known all along that this thing would absorb his spiritual power completely. As soon as Ye Fei infused his spiritual power, he was ready to stop, but unexpectedly the black long sword was like a bottomless pit, and only after it absorbed the last bit of Ye Fei's spiritual power did it shine brightly.

  With a thud, Ye Fei's body went limp and he sat down on the ground with a thump, his face deathly pale, his breathing barely perceptible.

  Whoosh!

  At the same time, the black long sword around the black gas rolled up, and a burst of wailing sounds were heard, and in an instant, it was slashing towards Lu Yun.

  With a loud crash, the high-level law enforcement gear saw blade wheel just collided with the black sword, and the light was darkened. Immediately after, in a loud roar, it burst open.

  "What? What kind of evil thing is this?! How can it have such power?" Lu Yun's face changed instantly, and he hastily released another grayish-brown giant brick, but it was cut open by the black long sword without exception.

  "Not good." Almost at the same time, Lu Yun saw that he really couldn't withstand the power of the black long sword and fled to a distant place without hesitation.

  A deafening boom shook the mountains!

  Lü Yun's body had just leapt into the air, and before he could even fall back down, the black longsword had already plunged into the ground with a loud "pu" sound, instantly blasting open a massive deep pit.

  The terrifying aftermath immediately blasted Lu Yun into flight, the protective spiritual light on his body flashing yellow for an instant before shattering with a loud "poof", and at the same time, a talisman spirit aura on his chest flashed once before turning to flying ash and disappearing.

  Boom

  Lu Yun's body had just crashed to the ground when he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale with terror as he stared at the enormous and terrifying deep pit, then looked over at Ye Fei who was sitting on the ground, gasping for air.

  "Alright, alright, you've actually managed to severely injure me. I see that now, and it's likely you don't even have the strength to stand up anymore. Hmph, what reason do you still have to not die? I'll make you regret coming into this world." After finishing speaking, a ferocious color flashed across Lu Yun's face, and a thread of cold light flashed through his eyes without any concealment. Seeing this, Ye Fei's expression also changed.
