In the dilapidated Taoist temple, Lin Yuan and the Iron-Back Daoist were locked in battle.
Both were Tier Four, yet Lin Yuan steadily held the upper hand.
Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword swung out with a fierce whoosh, slashing onto the carapace of the colossal centipede that the Iron-Back Daoist had transford into.
"Clang!"
"Clang! Clang!"
Each sword strike sent scarlet sword energy, mingled with demonic flas, sweeping across the centipede’s shell, shattering it to pieces, sending flesh flying in all directions.
It didn’t take long, just about ten-odd minutes, for Lin Yuan to leave countless ghastly wounds on the giant centipede.
The lantern-sized eyes of the centipede were filled with disbelief. It never imagined that at the sa Tier Four, it would perform so poorly.
Anger seed to beco a catalyst for the Iron-Back Daoist’s power.
His demonic power, enveloped in toxins, fearlessly launched an assault towards Lin Yuan.
The centipede’s venomous fangs snapped towards Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan swung Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword to parry, and with a "Clang," a resonant tallic crash sounded.
Along with the intense tallic clash ca a huge rebound force.
"Humph!"
Lin Yuan grunted, and the massive Zhong Kui form of twenty to thirty ters was sent flying backwards, landing on the ground, Lin Yuan staggered, almost toppling over.
anwhile, the giant centipede, transford by the Iron-Back Daoist, was rolling on the ground, letting out ear-piercing roars.
Its hundred-ter-long body kept rolling, crushing the temple behind it into dust.
Lin Yuan focused his gaze, only to discover that about tens of ters from the giant centipede lay half of a mouthpart several ters long.
Just now, when Lin Yuan’s Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword collided with the centipede’s mouthpart, it had directly severed it.
No wonder the giant centipede, transford by the Iron-Back Daoist, was in such agony!
It turned out its mouthpart was cut off by Lin Yuan.
You should know, that mouthpart was the hardest part of the Iron-Back Daoist’s entire body.
The damage from its mouthpart being severed far exceeded that of the carapace.
Take advantage when the enemy is weak to take their life.
While the Iron-Back Daoist was unguarded due to severe pain, Lin Yuan naturally would not miss this fleeting opportunity.
He urged Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand and imdiately charged towards the giant centipede ford by the Iron-Back Daoist.
Lin Yuan charged in, slashing one sword after another at the Iron-Back Daoist.
The sword’s edge swept past, scarlet sword energy tinged with demonic flas emitted a scorching heat, slashing at the Iron-Back Daoist’s carapace.
One sword, two swords, three swords...
All around, the sound of sword cries lded into one; sword energy flew everywhere.
At first, the Iron-Back Daoist could still resist, but as Lin Yuan’s assault grew more relentless, the Iron-Back Daoist gradually found it more difficult to withstand.
The Iron-Back Daoist’s mood was heavy; he seed to know that today his prospects were bleak.
Thinking that his body would be taken by that so-called World Honored to refine dicine after his death, the Iron-Back Daoist’s anger went straight to his head.
Even if he were to die, he couldn’t let this person take his body for refinent.
Such was the Iron-Back Daoist’s thought, and with that in mind, he began to mobilize all the demonic power within him.
He even started burning his own flesh and soul.
This Iron-Back Daoist still showed so spirit; he was determined to take a few bites out of Lin Yuan even at the cost of his life.
The Iron-Back Daoist burned his flesh and blood, forcibly supporting himself to stand back up.
The hundred-ter-long giant centipede, with battered carapace, instead beca even more fearso.
The colossal centipede propped itself up with its lower body while its upper body reared up, roaring at Lin Yuan.
A single roar whipped up a massive gale, bringing toxic mist towards Lin Yuan.
The foul-slling poison mist swept in with the wind, but just as it was about to reach Lin Yuan, demonic flas surged up, incinerating the poison mist completely.
Alas!
As a creature who had beco a fiend through poison, his most proud toxin was restrained by Lin Yuan’s demonic flas.
After losing this lethal toxin, his power was reduced by at least fifty percent.
On the old locust tree outside the temple, Liuyu Heaven, in the fish tank, watched this scene with a heart as dead as ashes, yet with a hint of clarity.
His little sche hadn’t gone off; this Iron-Back Daoist was completely restrained by Lin Yuan, oppressed from start to finish.
"Just how many trump cards does this Lin Yuan have?"
"He can actually perfectly counteract poison!" Liuyu Heaven thought with helplessness.
By this point, the battle between Lin Yuan and the Iron-Back Daoist had already reached a fever pitch.
The entire temple had been turned into ruins.
All around the temple were remnants and rubble.
Tens of thousands of scarlet sword energies, laden with scorching demonic flas, had enveloped the Iron-Back Daoist.
Sword energy continually slashed against the Iron-Back Daoist, almost as if flaying him alive.
The giant centipede, ford by the Iron-Back Daoist, lunged left and right, but could never break through the range of sword energy.
In contrast, Lin Yuan grew stronger as the Iron-Back Daoist weakened.
Amidst the encompassing ocean of sword energy, the giant centipede ford by the Iron-Back Daoist was being dismbered by scarlet sword energy.
Death had beco a foregone conclusion.
The Iron-Back Daoist seed to have foreseen his end.
At this mont, the Iron-Back Daoist seed to give up resisting, reverting from his demonified form back to his gaunt Taoist form.
"World Honored has wronged !"
"World Honored has wronged ! World Honored has wronged !"
The Iron-Back Daoist roared to the sky three tis; these three roars echoed between heaven and earth, audible to the myriad demon fiends and spirits within hundreds of miles.
Just after the Iron-Back Daoist’s three shouts, all the demon fiends and spirits within a hundred-mile radius turned their gaze towards Iron Back Mountain.
They knew it was the voice of the Iron-Back Daoist.
Iron-Back Daoist’s cry of being wronged by the World Honored, could it be that he was battling soone from the World Honored?
However, the World Honored’s reputation was so formidable that, for now, no one dared to spy on the situation.
After shouting three tis, the Iron-Back Daoist’s eyes displayed a resolute look.
"Since you want dead, then let’s all die together!" the Iron-Back Daoist roared, and then, his body rapidly swelled.
"Self-detonation?"
Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise, then imdiately summoned the Four Departnts to enshroud him.
Since reaching Tier Four, Lin Yuan rarely used the power of the Four Departnts.
The Tier Four combat style sowhat ans returning to the basics, with great simplicity in Tao.
There was no longer a need to deliberately use the power of rules in battle; every move he made naturally carried the power of rules.
Usually, he could do without the power of the Four Departnts.
But, the Iron-Back Daoist’s self-detonation could not be underestimated.
The self-detonation of a Tier Four expert should not be taken lightly.
The Four Departnts were ford by the power of rules, and at the mont of the Iron-Back Daoist’s self-detonation, Lin Yuan summoned the power of the Four Departnts to enshroud himself.
If using a Tier Five analogy, Lin Yuan’s one departnt would be equivalent to a Deceitful Demon.
This was equivalent to being cloaked in four layers of Deceitful Demons.
For the Iron-Back Daoist’s self-detonation to harm Lin Yuan, it would first have to break through his four layers of Deceitful Demons.
It was true that Lin Yuan took cover, but left at the rcy of the situation was Liuyu Heaven, stranded on the old locust tree outside the temple.
The self-detonation of the Tier Four Iron-Back Daoist could very well blow the entire Iron Back Mountain to dust.
He was right there on the old locust tree outside the temple.
Even at his peak strength, there would be no escape route.
Now, the only safe place left was beside Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan, save ..."
"Save !" Liuyu Heaven couldn’t care about his dignity anymore, quickly pleading for Lin Yuan’s help.
