Chapter 435: Sword Slashing Immortal Fate
Seeing Shang Lu running towards the direction of the Cloud Piercing Arrow, Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, surprised that Shang Lu was so arrogant – there was someone over there that made the Inspector of the Discipline Department anxiously call for help. With Shang Lu’s cultivation level, wouldn’t it be like a moth flying into a flame, seeking his own death?

But soon, Lu Yang reacted and realized that if it was really the Great Witch Zhongli who was secretly controlling all this, then he and Shang Lu would have a chance to survive only if they rescued Uncle Lu and Supervisor Xu and others who were in distress.

Otherwise, once Lu Dao and Supervisor Xu died, they would not be able to survive either – the mountain ghost wanted revenge, and the great witch Zhongli wanted to use their flesh, blood and souls as sacrifices, so he would definitely not let them go.

After the Eight Ghost Immortals killed Lu Dao and Supervisor Xu, they would rush over immediately to kill these two fish that escaped the net.

As for escaping? They have the marks of clairvoyance and super hearing. No matter where they flee, they will be tracked down.

And once they escape, the great wizard Zhongli will definitely pin the blame on them for colluding with the He bandits and murdering their master.

What they will face at that time will be the wanted and hunted down by the witch academy and government across the country! Even if they want to reveal the truth, no one will believe it and will just think they are framing them.

It’s death either way, so I might as well give it a try!
As long as we can cooperate with Lu Dao, Xu Jian and others to kill He Zei, we will have a chance to turn the tables.

Lu Yang’s expression changed several times in an instant, from surprise to realization, then hesitation, and finally determination.

Then he took out a bottle of pills that he had been reluctant to take just now from his arms, poured a few pills into his mouth, and while stimulating the efficacy of the medicine, he flew on his flying sword to catch up with Shang Lu, wanting to go and reinforce him.

Lu Yang followed, and Shang Lu was not surprised.

But what he didn’t expect was that Bai Lingxu actually followed him.

Lu Yang noticed this and was also surprised: “Brother Bai, we are going to fight for our chance of survival, why are you following us?”

Bai Lingxu replied, “According to the rules of the Witch Academy, if you see a Cloud Piercing Arrow, you must rush to provide reinforcements immediately, otherwise you will be severely punished. Besides, I am a businessman, and I understand the principle of seeking wealth and honor through risk.”

Bai Lingxu’s willingness to go with them was a little more powerful. Lu Yang was happy, but he couldn’t help but say, “Do you trust us so much? If we make a mistake and slander you, you won’t be able to save your wealth or even your life.”

Bai Lingxu chuckled: “If you slander me, then I will take you down, and then say that I saw that you had ill intentions from the beginning, and approached you on purpose to extract information and wait for an opportunity to catch the thief.”

Lu Yang was shocked. “Good fellow, you are indeed a businessman. You never lose out. But when you say that, aren’t you afraid that we will take action right now and take you down?”

“As a person, my consistent principle is honesty and integrity.”

Bai Lingxu didn’t take Lu Yang’s threat seriously at all: “You are in a hurry to save people, so you won’t waste your time and energy on me. Even if you want to capture me, it’s not now.”

Although the two of them were talking, their speed was not slow at all.

Lu Yang was flying with a sword, while Bai Lingxu was riding on a raccoon and rushing forward.

Compared to the two of them, Shanglu, who was stepping on the paper bird, was slower.

Fortunately, Sanniang secretly encouraged the cold wind to blow continuously, so that he did not fall behind.

All three of them ran at their fastest speed.

On the way to reinforcement, they encountered several groups of rampant ghosts, zombies, and the thieves who controlled them.

Fortunately, the strength of these puppet corpses, rampant ghosts and thieves was not very strong, and they were defeated by the three men at once.

If they weren’t in a hurry to save people, the three of them would have definitely chased and killed them all.

Although he did not chase him, Shang Lu activated the Tu Bo Seal on the back of his hand.

All the rampant ghosts encountered along the way were sucked into the Tubo Seal by Shanglu and sent to the underworld.

Shang Lu was planning to first achieve a wave of sales, and wait until the time came when he needed Tu Bo’s help, so that Tu Bo would regain some sanity for the sake of his performance, recognize him as the “sales champion” under his command, and show mercy to him, preventing him from going crazy and dying on the spot.

Shang Lu and the other two soon concluded that the battlefield where Xu Jian and others were ambushed was not far ahead.

Because the ground was shaking, there were also streams of witchcraft power and evil spirits emanating from the evil miasma fog that rushed towards them.

The fighting is still going on on the battlefield, and it is very fierce.

This made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the fighting was fierce, it meant that some people were still alive and the battle was at a stalemate.

The three of them might just be the straw that decides the outcome.

After they flew for another hundred feet or more, the evil miasma in front of the three people suddenly disappeared.

However, they arrived at the edge of the battlefield. The chaotic energy generated by the fierce battle was too powerful, and it actually shattered all the evil miasma and fog here.

The violent aura also swept towards Shang Lu and the other two.

These energies were as sharp as swords, splitting cracks in the rocks along the way and knocking over all the trees.

The protective witchcraft energy of Shang Lu and the other two was instantly activated, meeting this violent energy and erupting with a series of muffled “puff” sounds.

However, Shang Lu and the other two ignored the violent and chaotic energy caused by the fierce battle and just looked towards the center of the battlefield.

I saw a witch formation standing in the distance.

In the witch formation flashing with blood, several witch officials were lying in a mess, covered in blood, and their life or death was unknown.

In the witch formation, only Lu Dao and a bald witch officer were still barely standing.

The bald wizard’s body was covered with tangled blood vessels, as if it were crawling with poisonous insects.

These twisted blood vessels turned into mysterious witchcraft patterns.

The bald wizard was using his own body as a magic weapon, activating his internal energy to maintain the operation of the wizard formation and resist the fierce attacks from all directions.

Lu Dao used the witch formation to continuously fight against the thieves, rampant ghosts, and puppet corpses who besieged them.

All around the witch formation, in three layers inside and outside, there were destroyed and burned puppet corpses and dozens of killed thieves lying on the ground.

For this, Lu Dao and others paid a huge price.

In addition to the wizard lying on the ground, Lu Dao and the bald wizard were also covered in wounds and blood.

Outside the witch formation, two thieves were still shouting and mocking, trying to undermine the fighting spirit of Lu Dao and the bald witch official.

“Give up resistance. You are sacrifices of the gods’ orders. There is no way you can escape.”

“It is your honor to be a sacrifice to the gods. Why don’t you surrender quickly?”

There is a strange magic in the voices of these two thieves that can bewitch people.

If Lu Dao and the bald wizard had not had high enough cultivation and strong enough mental state, they would have been bewitched by their words, confused in mind, and thus surrendered, or even fought each other!
The skills of these two thieves are obviously stronger than others.

Among them, one was wearing a ragged black Taoist robe, his face was covered with cracks and bloodstains, and he was holding an evil sword made from human spine.

Not only are countless wronged souls entangled on the sword, but it is also covered with twisted curse runes.

Every time the sword is swung, the wronged souls will turn into sword energy, wailing and screaming. Not only can it hurt people’s bodies, but it can also confuse people’s minds and make them go crazy.

The other person was wearing a tattered dark blue patchwork with blood stains all over his clothes, and he was holding a flower basket made of human bones. The flowers in the basket were human heads, and the leaves were made of countless human hands and feet.

This man made hand gestures and chanted an incantation, causing the human head flowers in the flower basket to continuously emit evil spirits, attacking Lu Dao and the bald wizard official in the wizard formation.

The leaves transformed from human hands and feet also kept attacking, trying to tear open the witch formation and tear apart Lu Dao and the others. In addition, the two thieves were also driving the rampant ghosts and puppet corpses, like ants, to attack continuously without regard for casualties.

These two rice thieves are obviously the so-called Eight Ghost Immortals.

Looking at their looks, one of them is imitating Lu Dongbin.

The other one, is he impersonating Lan Caihe?
“Uncle Lu is really here…hiss, those people lying on the ground are also the ones who participated in the killing of the mountain ghosts before.”

Lu Yang had good eyesight. Even though the distance was still far, he recognized the identities of the people lying in the witch formation at a glance.

At this point, he no longer had any doubts about Shang Lu’s guess.

After all, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

The people who were ambushed were all on their way to capture the mountain ghost. The two bandits mentioned the matter of sacrifice. The two bandits even said that Lu Dao and others were the sacrifices designated by the gods.

What kind of god would want Lu Dao and others to be sacrifices?
Obviously it’s only a mountain ghost!

This group of rice thieves were probably bewitched by the mountain ghost’s magical power of “granting every request” and became the mountain ghost’s “pawns” for revenge.

Lu Yang made sword gestures with his hands and used all his strength to control the nine flying swords, which turned into nine streams of light. From the position of the Nine Palaces, he whizzed towards “Lu Dongbin” and “Lan Caihe” among the Eight Ghost Immortals.

Shanglu used the Jiaozi slingshot to shoot out all the remaining bone balls, and attached essence and divine power to each bone ball.

With the sound of “swooshing” breaking through the air, the bone ball was like a falling star, bringing up flames and bursting out with a powerful aura, directly piercing through and dispersing all the chaotic aura along the way.

At the same time, Shang Lu also took out the soul-sacrificing altar, poured essence into it, and made it “boom” into the size of a normal altar. He was then going to take out Tu Bo’s tablet and put it on it to offer sacrifice to the gods.

Bai Lingxu did not hesitate either.

Almost at the same time when Lu Yang and Shang Lu took action, he also sacrificed a scroll, summoning a group of black bees with bellies as big as pots, which rolled towards “Lu Dongbin” and “Lan Caihe” who looked more like ghosts than fairies like a dark cloud.

The three of them said nothing and took action immediately after finding their target.

Unfortunately, it was discovered at the first moment.

“There are really some ungrateful ants who come here to seek death.”

“Look, this is the result of your persistence. Not only will you die, but you will also cause harm to others. Don’t you feel guilty? Hurry up and end your life before you harm more people.”

The two He thieves among the Eight Ghost Immortals did not take the attack of Shang Lu and his two companions seriously at all, and just mocked Lu Dao and his companions.

They have the cultivation level of the sixth level of clear mind.

Although they were injured in the desperate counterattack by Lu Dao and others, causing their cultivation to decline, they still maintained the perfect strength of the seventh level of Tongtian realm, and were still one major realm higher than Shang Lu and the other two.

Although it is impossible to turn Shang Lu and the other two into ashes in the blink of an eye, killing them is not a problem.

“Lan Caihe” held the bone basket in one hand, and with the other hand he pulled out the human head flowers from the basket and threw them into the sky.

These human head flowers were suspended in the air, opening their mouths and making shrill screams.

Along with screams, murderous auras flew out of the mouth of the human head flower and transformed into countless black petals, forming a flower cage in mid-air, trapping the flying sword, bone ball and black bee inside.

These black petals transformed from evil spirits were extremely sharp and could instantly strangle large numbers of black bees.

Shang Lu’s bone ball was also surrounded and strangled. Although it was not crushed, it was blocked and could not move forward. The sticky poison and the flames transformed from divine power broke out in a fierce confrontation in mid-air.

“what?”

“Lan Caihe’s” face darkened.

He obviously didn’t expect that the evil flower not only failed to destroy the bone ball, but was also burned by the flames that erupted from the bone ball.

The little wizard opposite him was obviously one level lower than him in cultivation, so how could he have such means?
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the divine flames burned a hole in the evil flower cage, Lu Yang let the nine flying swords quickly fly out.

He also used the Nine Palaces layout to set up a Nine-Star Heavenly Sword Formation, and the rolling sword energy was like stars in the sky, bombarding “Lan Caihe” and “Lü Dongbin”.

Whether it is Shang Lu, Lu Yang, or Bai Lingxu, they all know that there is a big gap between their strength and “Lan Caihe” and “Lü Dongbin”.

Not to mention killing two thieves, even injuring them is difficult.

Therefore, the goal of Shang Lu and his companions from the very beginning was to attract the attention of “Lan Caihe” and “Lü Dongbin”, to help Lu Dao and others disperse the pressure, and allow Lu Dao and others to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

When Lu Yang’s flying sword pierced through the evil flower cage, Shang Lu and the other two saw hope for the success of their plan.

But at this moment, the “Lü Dongbin” wearing a tattered black Taoist robe suddenly threw the evil sword made of human vertebrae in his hand into the air.

The human bones that made up the evil sword scattered all at once, and countless wronged souls entangled in it, emitting painful cries, which actually caused the bone sword to twist and change into a palm, grabbing the nine flying swords that were flying towards it.

“boom–“

The Nine Lights Heavenly Sword Formation formed by Lu Yang’s flying sword blasted towards the bone palm with rolling sword energy.

However, due to the difference in realm, these flying swords were unable to smash the bone palm. Instead, they were tightly wrapped by the wronged souls flying out of the bone palm.

After being wrapped by the wronged souls, the flying sword felt like it was carrying a heavy mountain.

The sword energy became dull and no longer sharp.

And Lu Yang also felt the resistance of flying the sword increased greatly.

There was even a powerful force that counterattacked and pierced Lu Yang’s heart, causing him to feel severe pain and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The breath suddenly became disordered.

And the Nine-Star Heavenly Sword Formation was also broken at this moment.

Nine flying swords wrapped in the black mist of wronged souls fell to the ground one after another. Although they kept struggling, they were suppressed by these wronged souls and could not fly.

“Let me teach you how to use a sword!”

“Lü Dongbin” sneered and made sword gestures.

The bony palm in mid-air then twisted and turned back into a bone sword.

Every bone is spewing out wronged souls and evil spirits.

Under the stimulation of the “Lü Dongbin” sword technique, these wronged souls and evil spirits turned into a dark, cold, and unmatched sharp sword energy, which was so powerful that it seemed to cut and tear the world into pieces!

“boom–“

This strange sword energy, carrying the screams of countless wronged souls, slashed towards Shang Lu and the other two.

We must destroy them, both their bodies and their souls!

“Witchcraft? Nothing more than that!”

“Lü Dongbin” laughed grimly: “Let me use this sword to cut off your false fate.”
