Dao Protector?

Lu Yuan looked at Shen Qing and realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

It seemed that the other party had misunderstood him as someone with a special position in the Spirit Sword Sect

Fortunately, Shen Qing seemed to have not spoken to an outsider for a long time. He simply began talking without a need for a response.

“Speaking of which, you may laugh at me, but back then when 1 was young and hot-blooded, 1 thought of myself to have the bearings of a Sword Celestial, and that 1 would become the first person in the ten-thousand-year history of the Spirit Sword Sect to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal. Thus, at that time, 1 held a disdainful attitude towards the inner sect seniors who chose to fuse with the Dao. I felt that they were a group of failures with insufficient talent. After all, to merge Dao with one’s body is to borrow the power of external objects to reach the Apotheosis Stage. Even if one succeeds by luck, there’s no chance of becoming an immortal.”

“At that time, 1 thought that 1 would rather die if 1 couldn’t ascend to immortality. Now that 1 think about it, it’s really ridiculous. Those who haven’t truly experienced the gradual depletion of their lifespan and watched themselves head step by step toward death would never be able to understand that fear. Although I’ve lost the ability to ascend to immortality, 1 still have an extra 3,000 years of lifespan. This feeling is… Excellent.”

Almost the instant Shen Qing finished speaking, a blood sword suddenly appeared behind Lu Yuan and stabbed his heart.

Just as the blood sword was about to land on Lu Yuan, a golden immortal sword suddenly appeared, blocking the blood sword that was attacking him.

Seeing that his sneak attack did not succeed, Shen Qing was stunned. Then, he smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re quite capable. You’re actually able to block this move of mine with your Nascent Soul Stage cultivation. This immortal sword of yours should be your Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, right?”

Lu Yuan nodded.

Then, three more immortal swords flew out from his side. Each of them was the same as the previous golden immortal sword. They had shocking energy fluctuations and were very powerful.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t blame me for being immoral. It was really not easy for me to have the power of the Apotheosis Stage. I don’t want to return to the inner sect and be imprisoned in the Myriad Sword Pavilion like a tool. 1 know that the power of Outer Dao can distort a cultivator’s consciousness and make them do crazy things, but what do the feelings of others have to do with me? In the past thousand years, 1 have figured out one thing. I’ve done enough for my sect before. Now, I only want to live for myself. Therefore, 1 most certainly can’t let you spread the news of my awakening, so Fellow Daoist… Please die here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge illusion appeared behind Shen Qing. It was a huge blood-red devilish sword with a twisted blood-red eyeball on the hilt.

With the appearance of this devilish sword, the surrounding space began to distort.

Countless scarlet energy began to spread around, making Lu Yuan feel as if he was in a special space where he could seemingly feel countless eyes watching him.

He looked up and saw a large number of red dots in the sky.

Each red dot represented a special eye.

“Fellow Daoist, today 1 will show you what my Dao is.”

As he spoke, Shen Qing extended his hand and aimed at Lu Yuan’s position.

In the next second, the blood-red eyes that covered the surroundings shot out shocking energy beams. Like a dense laser beam, they shot toward Lu Yuan.

Not only were these lasers fast, but they were also extremely powerful. At the very least, they had the power of the half-step Apotheosis Stage.

However, only an attack that hit the target could truly pose a threat.

Lu Yuan had already left the spot the moment the lasers shot at him.

Then, he turned into an afterimage as he fleeted around.

Looking at Lu Yuan’s astonishing speed, Shen Qing was once again shocked.

He finally understood why the other party could become a Dao Protector that only Apotheosis Stage cultivators could take up despite being only at the Nascent Soul Stage.

After all, the Dao Protector wasn’t just someone who examined the Dao-Fusing Cultivators. They were also those who decided whether the Dao-Fusing Cultivators could be accepted.

Once a Dao Protector determined that there was something wrong with a Dao-Fusing Cultivator’s mind, the mission of the former was to kill the latter on the spot.

And Shen Qing’s current state clearly belonged to the type that had to be killed, because he had become a devil, though he himself did not realize this.

Although Lu Yuan had yet to show more of his methods and couldn’t use the Apotheosis Stage’s “Small World”, he still had the strength of an ordinary Apotheosis Stage cultivator.

At least in terms of speed, Lu Yuan wasn’t any slower than an average Apotheosis Stage cultivator.

That being said, if that was only the case, it was not enough for Shen Qing to take him seriously.

Looking at Lu Yuan who was constantly dodging, Shen Qing finally decided to get serious.

He didn’t dare to delay any longer, because once the Spirit Sword Sect discovered the commotion here, it would attract more Dao Protectors.

With his strength that had just awakened, he definitely could not contend with the whole sect.

Thinking of this, the devilish sword on Shen Qing’s back began to tremble and gradually fused with him.

Not long after, Shen Qing’s appearance changed again.

The blood-red swords on his arms were completely devilized, and there were a pair of blood-red eyeballs on his shoulders.

The pair of eyeballs stared at Lu Yuan who was in the sky.

In the next second, Shen Qing’s figure disappeared from where he was.

Lu Yuan, who had been constantly dodging, suddenly grabbed a Dharma Sword and slashed in a certain direction behind him.

Bang!

Shen Qing instantly appeared while his sword landed on the immortal sword in Lu Yuan’s hand..
