Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

Chapter 439: This move was not originally meant to deal with you

As soon as Governor Lu and Wu Youdao clashed, Lord An activated the grand formation. A hemispherical barrier, like an overturned bowl, covered Hanshui City, ensuring that the aftermath of their battle wouldn't affect the city.

In the sky above Hanshui City, thunder seemed to crack, deafeningly loud. The two fought fiercely, their fists and feet colliding, emitting dazzling rays of light. Mortals couldn't bear to look at the battle directly. Even those with lower cultivation felt their chests tighten, as if resonating with the fight.

Wu Youdao dared not use his Palm Universe technique to pierce through Governor Lu again, lest his other hand become fused with Governor Lu's body.

Now, with one of Wu Youdao's arms fused to Governor Lu's chest, his movements were greatly restricted. Coupled with Governor Lu's astonishing healing speed, he had surprisingly gained the upper hand!

"Damn it, get off me!" Wu Youdao couldn't fight effectively and couldn't understand how Governor Lu had come up with such an outrageous method.

Wu Youdao punched Governor Lu in the face. Governor Lu's head tilted to the side, but then his neck strained, slowly pushing back.

"This move was originally meant for Bu Yu Taoist, but it looks like you'll benefit from it first!" Governor Lu's eyes gleamed with madness.

"Bu Yu Taoist, could it be Bu Yu Taoist?" Clearly, Wu Youdao had heard of this name.

"Rumor has it that Bu Yu Taoist has enemies everywhere. Could it be that Bu Yu Taoist intends to increase the combat power of Great Xia's cultivators by making enemies?" Wu Youdao pondered. As an emperor, his thoughts were clearer and more extensive than others'.

"Seek Tao Sect truly is the greatest obstacle to Great Yu's restoration!" Wu Youdao recalled the national teacher's warning to be wary of Seek Tao Sect, as they were formidable foes.

Fortunately, he had not yet encountered anyone from Seek Tao Sect.

"Governor Lu is truly impressive. If this keeps up, he might win," Lu Yang's eyes sparkled. He hadn't expected Governor Lu to be so reliable and was glad he hadn't revealed his sect.

From Governor Lu's ruthless fighting style, it was clear he had significant grudges with his master.

"He can't win. This method relies on Wu Youdao's unfamiliarity. Once Wu Youdao adapts, Governor Lu will be at a disadvantage," Immortal Fairy, wise and experienced in countless battles, immediately saw the flaw in this tactic.

The only way to win was to restrain Wu Youdao and then, taking him by surprise, kill him with absolute power.

Unfortunately, Governor Lu didn't possess absolute power.

As Immortal Fairy predicted, after taking a few hits, Wu Youdao quickly found a solution.

His left hand transformed into a heavenly blade, slashing at Governor Lu. Governor Lu dodged to the side.

But Wu Youdao's target wasn't Governor Lu—it was his own right arm!

Swish—

The heavenly blade cut down, severing his right arm. Blood spurted out, forming a river of blood that fell onto Hanshui City. Upon hitting the transparent barrier, it made a sizzling, corrosive sound, terrifying to hear.

If the barrier couldn't hold, the blood of a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator falling to the ground would undoubtedly cause a disaster.

Fortunately, the barrier was strong enough. Once the corrosive blood was exhausted, the barrier remained intact.

Wu Youdao's severed arm rapidly regenerated.

"Heavenly Sound!"

Wu Youdao, now free, opened his mouth, emitting a piercing sound. The sound carried a magical power, like countless people whispering. No matter how Governor Lu covered his ears or sealed his senses, the sound persisted.

"Threefold Da Luo Force!"

Wu Youdao seized the opportunity, his fist bursting with a radiant light as brilliant as the sun.

"Even a high monk with a golden body would be broken by this punch!" Wu Youdao laughed heartily.

Governor Lu, disturbed by the Heavenly Sound, couldn't sense the outside world and took the punch head-on.

Pfft—

Governor Lu spat blood continuously. The power of the nation's fate rapidly healed his wounds, but the punch contained threefold force. The first force severely injured Governor Lu, while the second and third forces prevented healing.

"Still not dead? Let's add another punch!" Wu Youdao's face showed greed, as if the power of the nation's fate was within reach.

"The emperor of Great Yu is indeed formidable."

A steady voice came, and a five-colored light wheel suddenly appeared, blocking in front of Governor Lu.

Wu Youdao's punch was too powerful; the light wheel only held for two breaths.

Crack—

The light wheel shattered, and Governor Lu vanished without a trace.

"Over here!" Wu Youdao turned and saw Governor Lu being supported by Qiu Jin'an.

"Are you alright?"

"Still alive."

"It's you, the sect master. You should be at the Hundred Flowers Restaurant at this time!" Wu Youdao coldly stared at Qiu Jin'an. The restaurant housed his two most powerful ghosts.

...

Hundred Flowers Restaurant.

A giant ghost lay on the ground, its body hollowed out. Three chopsticks had shattered its Three Souls, and a bowl of rice was stuffed in its mouth. Countless smaller ghosts had their necks twisted, their heads severed, scattered across the hall.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

...

"You mean the Bloating Ghost and the Starving Ghost? They're nothing special. If they fused into a new ghost by devouring each other, that might be interesting, but even then, not much."

"As for the little ghosts that can lock the Three Souls and Seven Spirits by riding on your neck, those are just leftovers from Seek Tao Sect."

The Bloating Ghost and the Starving Ghost were well-matched. The Bloating Ghost had died from overeating and, as a ghost, would eat endlessly, never satisfied. The Starving Ghost had died from hunger and, as a ghost, also ate endlessly, never full. When these two ghosts devoured each other, they would fuse into a Glutton Ghost, a creature that would spell certain death for any ordinary cultivator.

"Using the Bloating Ghost and the Starving Ghost to deal with me is underestimating me."

Wu Youdao's eyes narrowed. Many Body Fusion stage cultivators had been devoured by these ghosts, even those in the late Body Fusion stage. These ghosts shouldn't be something a Body Fusion stage cultivator could handle.

This Qiu Jin'an's combat power was beyond his expectations.

"You take the hits, I'll attack. How about that?" Qiu Jin'an transmitted his voice.

"Alright." In terms of combat power, Governor Lu was far inferior to Qiu Jin'an.

"Sir, we're here!" Several Body Fusion stage cultivators appeared to assist.

Previously, they had been held back by the ghosts in the city. When Qiu Jin'an arrived, he helped them out, allowing them to come and assist.

"You go down and help your comrades deal with the ghosts and maintain order in the city!" Governor Lu waved his hand. This battle couldn't be decided by a few ordinary Body Fusion stage cultivators. Even he, a peak Body Fusion stage expert, would die in an instant without the power of the nation's fate.

Only a supreme Body Fusion stage expert like Qiu Jin'an could help now.

But the problem was, where could you find a sect master of the five major immortal sects so easily?

Wu Youdao tried his old trick, aiming to control Qiu Jin'an: "Heavenly Sound..."

Qiu Jin'an's battle experience far surpassed Governor Lu's. He held a lotus of destruction in his palm.

"Red Lotus Hellfire!"

Boom—

Destructive energy exploded, and a massive red lotus bloomed above Hanshui City. Each petal had the power to shatter dimensions. With twenty-eight petals blooming, the released destructive energy was unimaginable. Even through the barrier, Lu Yang could feel the scorching heatwave.

As the smoke cleared, Wu Youdao's wretched appearance was revealed. His clothes were in disarray, his body covered in burns, his skin wrinkled, and his head shiny and bald. He no longer had his usual composed and domineering demeanor.

"This move was originally meant for Seek Tao Sect, but it's a pity it was used on you first."

Qiu Jin'an slowly shook his head, and another red lotus formed in his palm.
