Chapter 258: Chapter 175: Slaying an Earth Immortal, Shocking the World

Lu Yuan was dressed in a black Python Robe, the Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber in hand.

As his warhorse charged, he raised and swung his saber, felling a Divine Power Realm expert from Dayong.

His men followed close behind, with Xiao Lie being the most aggressive in the charge.

He knew that Dayong’s army had suffered a devastating blow. This was the best opportunity to eliminate them.

If they were allowed to escape, he feared it wouldn’t be long before they recovered.

Thus, the order was simple: kill as many as possible.

Any who surrendered willingly could be accepted.

Mangu Tun, Mangu Hun, and Manliang were all ferocious men. This was their first battle since joining Great Qin, so they certainly wouldn’t pass up the chance to distinguish themselves.

Their wild eyes swept over the enemy, their terrifying gazes like those of savage beasts.

It crushed any thought of resistance.

Meanwhile, after a flurry of furious slaughter, Lu Yuan had abandoned his warhorse.

He led Xiao Ku and the others in pursuit of Prince Ze.

The prince was one of Dayong’s renowned generals, and Lu Yuan was determined to capture him this time.

If he could eliminate two renowned generals in one fell swoop, Dayong would no longer pose a threat to him.

His army could march straight in; occupying the whole of Dayong might even be possible.

At that moment, Prince Ze, who had fallen unconscious, slowly began to stir after taking an elixir.

When he looked around, he saw nothing but his own fleeing warriors.

His face paled. He knew the battle was lost.

Now, Dayong’s only elite troops left were the four hundred thousand Imperial Guards defending the border with Great Yu. But against Lu Yuan, he feared even they wouldn’t last a single exchange.

’He’s just too strong.’

’What kind of Military Array was that? It could actually mobilize the energy of the entire Yan Province.’

’The giant it formed didn’t seem to be some baseless creation, either.’

’With a single arrow, it destroyed the Unparalleled Marquis’s Military Array.’

’My own array was shattered with a single stomp.’

’This is definitely something that surpasses a Seventh-Grade Array.’

’But Great Qin simply doesn’t have that kind of heritage.’

’And most importantly, there are no descriptions of such an array anywhere, not even from ancient times.’

’Then there can only be one explanation: Lu Yuan himself comprehended an Eighth-Grade Array.’

HISS!

At this thought, Prince Ze sucked in a sharp breath.

He tossed another elixir into his mouth and forced himself to rally.

An unprecedentedly grave expression appeared in his eyes.

’If that’s true, then Dayong has truly met an unprecedented adversary.’

Then, his thoughts couldn’t help but drift to the incident at Celestial Ladder Cliff.

’Could Lu Yuan be *that* person?’

But he quickly shook his head. ’After all, Lu Yuan descended the mountain with Xiao Hua, and the celestial light hadn’t completely faded at that point.’

’I refuse to believe anyone would willingly miss out on the illumination of the celestial light.’

At this thought, the grave expression on his face deepened.

"Your Highness, we have to keep moving! Great Qin’s army is about to catch up," a Vice General urged, interrupting Prince Ze’s thoughts.

The elixir had taken effect, and his condition had improved considerably.

He nodded. "Let’s go."

’The battle is lost. It’s too late for regrets now.’

’The most important thing is to get away as quickly as possible.’

’Dayong has suffered a devastating blow in this battle. As one of its renowned generals, I must survive. Otherwise, Dayong’s future will be even more difficult.’

But just as this thought crossed his mind...

...a thunderous voice echoed from the distance, making him freeze.

"Prince Ze, since you’ve come all this way, why be in such a hurry to leave?" Lu Yuan’s figure hovered in the air as he spoke lightly.

Behind him followed Xiao Ku and the other Venerable Vajras.

Their target was none other than the prince of Dayong.

"Hmph. So, it’s Lu Yuan. I have nothing to say about losing the Combat Array, but you’re courting death, chasing me here with just a handful of men!" A cold glint flashed in Prince Ze’s eyes.

He shot a look at the man beside him.

The Grand Minister of Rites of the Yong Dynasty instantly shot forward to intercept Xiao Ku and the others, desperately trying to hold them back.

He understood this was an opportunity. Lu Yuan had used a Body Skill to pursue them with only a few experts, leaving his army behind. If he could hold back Xiao Ku and the others, and Prince Ze could kill Lu Yuan, the Yong Dynasty might just have a chance to turn the tables.

Prince Ze glared at Lu Yuan. "Though my Divine Essence has been damaged, killing someone at the Divine Power Realm is still no issue. Your arrogance will be your undoing."

As soon as Prince Ze finished speaking...

...he stomped his right foot hard on the ground, his entire body shooting into the sky.

A brilliant golden longsword materialized in his hand.

Spiritual light blossomed from it, sending out shimmering waves.

He slashed toward Lu Yuan.

As the Sword Qi tore through the air, it transformed into a blade of light over ten meters long.

It descended with incredible speed.

It left white trails in the air around the massive blade.

It let out a piercing whine as it ripped through the air.

Lu Yuan didn’t hesitate, his body flashing as he dodged away.

The massive boulder where he had just been standing...

BOOM!

...was instantly shattered.

Having dodged the attack, Lu Yuan reacted instantly and closed the distance. He wanted to clash head-on with an Earth Immortal Realm expert to see just how wide the gap between them truly was.

BANG! BANG!

The Cyan Dragon Crescent Saber slammed against Prince Ze’s longsword, erupting with a deafening crash.

Energy spilled from the point of impact, spreading out in all directions.

It rolled outwards like a wave.

Boulders were swept away and trees were torn out by the roots.

A black gale howled across the entire battlefield.

It carried with it sand and stones, obscuring everything from view.

Only the sparks erupting at the epicentre of the clash...

...were frighteningly bright.

Lu Yuan landed heavily on a mountain peak. Instantly, rubble flew as the summit collapsed, tumbling down the slope like a landslide.

Prince Ze’s toes had just brushed against the top of a tree.
