Chapter 1469: Desperate Action
Long Ying was carrying Sheng Xue and floating in the air, while Lu Yun stood in front of them.
Not far ahead, Long Dapao and his four companions stood there motionless, and there was silence all around.
This strange scene made Du Heng shudder.
The scenes at Xuantian Sect instantly appeared in his mind.
The pressure brought to him by those four monks from the upper realm was too great.
"Can't they escape after all?" Long Ying said coldly, "But, with such high cultivation levels, they actually resorted to such means. It's really despicable."
Lu Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of thing. After all, many people would choose to use any means necessary to achieve their goals.
Even cultivators are like this. Take Lu Yun for example. When he was in the spiritual world, he relied on absorbing the essence and blood of others to improve his cultivation.
Looking around vigilantly, Lu Yun whispered, "Send her back first. The palace is safer than here."
"Then what will you do?" Long Ying asked back.
Lu Yun knew that she must be thinking about Long Dapao and didn't want to leave at all.
"Just die!"
Lu Yun became furious and rushed out first.
After all, his three sisters are still ahead. He found them with great difficulty and vowed to protect their safety. It is impossible for him to leave now.
Lu Yun came in front of the four people, but did not find any restrictions on them.
Dragon Cannon looked forward, just in the direction of the Underworld City.
The three women stood beside him, but their attention was different from that of Long Dapao.
"Strange, what are they looking at?" Lu Yun was curious, but he did not touch the bodies of the four people.
As a cultivator, he knew that there were various secret techniques in the cultivator world. He had no idea how to trigger these secret techniques, let alone how to remove them.
Fortunately, there was no stronger aura around, so he signaled Long Ying to come over.
Long Ying couldn't wait to carry Sheng Xue over, put her aside, and walked quickly to Long Dapao.
"Cannon, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't touch him!" Lu Yun hurriedly stopped Long Ying from raising his hand: "They are very abnormal. I now suspect that they have restrictions that I can't understand."
"Then...what should we do?" Long Ying looked anxious.
"Wait. No matter what kind of restriction or trap it is, there will always be a time when the magic power dissipates. Let's wait until they can move on their own."
Lu Yun was also very anxious, but his mind was still clear.
Long Ying knew that what he said was right, so she stood in front of Long Dapao and kept looking at him.
In this way, the two waited for a whole hour, but the four people did not move at all, not even blinking their eyes.
"I knew this method wouldn't work."
"Damn it, they didn't fall for it!"
"Hahaha, second brother, you underestimated that kid, who can you blame?"
"Well, it's time for us to show up."
Four figures appeared inexplicably in front of Lu Yun and Long Ying.
"Protect her." Lu Yun whispered, then took another step forward and at the same time summoned the Taihuang Sword and held it across his body.
"Who are you? Why are you following us?" Lu Yun asked coldly.
"Boy, we are all here for her. If you know what's good for you, hand her over to us so we don't have to take action." Someone pointed at Sheng Xue and said.
"She is just a woman from the underworld. What use do you have for her?" Lu Yun asked back.
"Stop talking nonsense, you and I know her identity well." said another person.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Lu Yun continued to play dumb.
“You don’t want to hand it over? Then these four people will be dead.” The third man raised his right hand and snapped his fingers casually.
A crisp sound pierced the night sky, accompanied by the exclamations of Long Dapao and the other three.
Lu Yun saw that all four of them were holding their throats in pain, and they all collapsed on the ground.
"Don't kill anyone! We can talk it out!" Lu Yun said anxiously.
"You don't have to kill them. Hand them over and I'll let you go!" said the fourth person.
"Let's remove the restrictions on them first. We can't run away anyway!" Lu Yun shouted.
He discovered a very useful detail, which was that these four people seemed to be very afraid of him. No, they seemed to be afraid that he would kill Sheng Xue.
After all, these four people didn't know why he captured Sheng Xue, but what was certain was that Sheng Xue should be of great use to these four cultivators from the upper realm.
So, Lu Yun took a few steps back and came to Long Ying's side, while placing the Taihuang sword in his hand on Sheng Xue's neck.
"If you don't agree to my request, I will kill her!"
"Ant, how dare you threaten us, the Four Immortals of Qingshan? Are you tired of living?"
"Brother, kill him!"
"Yes, if this kid stays, he will definitely become a stumbling block for us in the future!"
"If you don't do anything, I'll do it!
A man suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yun, with a long sword in his hand, and stabbed at Lu Yun's throat.
Lu Yun was shocked and quickly used the long sword in his hand to deflect the opponent's sword, while floating several feet to the other side.
He had to ensure Long Ying's safety and must not let those people get close to him. If those people's target was not him, Long Ying would be in danger.
"Boy, if you dare to go against us, you will die!"
After all, he was a cultivator from the upper realm, so his strength was extraordinary. He made Lu Yun panic in just one encounter.
Lu Yun had to be extremely alert and give it his all.
In the blink of an eye, another three moves came. Although Lu Yun tried his best to take the opponent's three moves, the opponent still beat him to the point of vomiting blood.
"I didn't expect that you are quite capable. You are much stronger than the ants in that sect. However, you still have to die!"
The situation is now completely crushing. Lu Yun should improve his cultivation to the extreme, but he is still no match for the opponent.
In an instant, Lu Yun transformed and at the same time summoned the Taihuang Shield.
"It just so happens that both treasures have appeared. I will also hand the woman over to me and report back!"
"You're dreaming!"
This time, Lu Yun took the lead. He swung the Taihuang Sword in a sword flower and at the same time stabbed out a golden sword energy, heading straight for the opponent.
The Taihuang Shield in his other hand also grew larger, and countless spikes actually chased after the monk's figure.
A flash of cold light passed by, forcing the cultivator from the upper realm to retreat several steps. He swung the sword in his hand repeatedly, blocking all of Lu Yun's attacks.
"Ant, you actually have a backup plan!"
Lu Yun snorted coldly and continued to attack.
This time, he fought with all his might, exerting all his abilities without reservation, and for a moment he was evenly matched with the opponent.
The cultivator from the upper realm was shocked when he saw this. He could never have imagined that an ant from the underworld could burst out with such strength.
Even the three monks from the upper realm who were watching the battle were terrified.
"We know the Third Brother's abilities, but he failed to take down that ant in the first place!"
"Second brother, that's not the case. The laws of the underworld suppress our cultivation. It's normal that Third Brother can't display his original cultivation."
"Old Four, look at him. Even though his cultivation is suppressed, he is on par with that ant. This is clearly not normal!"
