"Boom!" The incomparably powerful scepter was directly cleaved by the Daoist.
"Die for me!"
The Daoist roared again, and the Tai Chi Sword lunged towards the chest of the Three-Eyed Venerable.
"Bang!"
The Tai Chi Sword felt like it had struck steel and could not pierce the Three-Eyed Venerable's chest.
"This damned thing's body is too strong; ordinary magical artifacts cannot pierce it!"
The Daoist said to Lu Yang again.
"My most powerful item is the Black Dragon Token!"
Lu Yang was helpless.
"Hmph, lowly ants, do you really think you can break my true form? What a pipe dream! I shall send you to your deaths now!"
As the Three-Eyed Venerable spoke, his speed doubled. He threw two punches, striking both the Daoist and Lu Yang, sending them flying and crashing heavily onto the ground, both sustaining internal injuries.
"Are you alright?"
The Daoist stood up and asked Lu Yang.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!"
"Uncle, you look so familiar. Are you Zhang Sanfeng of the martial world?"
Lu Yang suddenly remembered seeing a portrait of Zhang Sanfeng in a book, and the man before him looked very similar.
"Damn it, I am Zhang Sanfeng!"
The Daoist said coldly.
"What? You are Zhang Sanfeng?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the Daoist. If this Daoist was truly Zhang Sanfeng, wouldn't that mean he was meeting someone who had lived for five hundred years? This was unbelievable.
"What? Would I lie to you?"
"You little brat, you don't have much skill, but you have many other thoughts. Hurry and think of how to kill this son of a bitch!"
Zhang Sanfeng glared at Lu Yang and scolded him.
"Uh... I don't have any good ideas either!"
Lu Yang said with a dark expression.
"Fine, I won't count on you. I'll do it myself!"
Zhang Sanfeng roared, his aura instantly surging to the peak of the Land Immortal realm. He put away his Tai Chi Sword, then casually grabbed the air, and a sword condensed in his hand. This sword radiated a green glow and appeared incredibly powerful.
"This is the sword I condensed using a hundred years of my cultivation, the Azure Gaze Sword. Today, I shall slay you!"
With a "boom," the Azure Gaze Sword in Zhang Sanfeng's hand slashed directly at the Three-Eyed Venerable.
"Hmph, mere trickery!"
The Three-Eyed Venerable roared and used his arm to block Zhang Sanfeng's sword.
The result was that as the sword struck the Three-Eyed Venerable's arm, it carved a wound, and golden blood flowed out.
"You ant, you can actually wound me?"
Seeing that he was injured, the Three-Eyed Venerable's eyes erupted with red light. He hadn't expected the Daoist before him to actually be able to harm him. Instantly filled with fear, he clenched his fist and punched towards Zhang Sanfeng's chest.
Zhang Sanfeng swung his sword again. This sword strike left a wound on the Three-Eyed Venerable's chest, but while it did, the Three-Eyed Venerable's punch landed on Zhang Sanfeng's chest, breaking several of his ribs. A bloody hole appeared in his chest. Even with Zhang Sanfeng's ability to heal quickly, he could not mend the wound inflicted by the Three-Eyed Venerable's punch.
"This damned thing's fist carries other energy that can prevent my wounds from healing. You must be careful, kid!"
Zhang Sanfeng ignored his own injuries and shouted at Lu Yang, then once again gripped the sword condensed from his cultivation and slashed at the Three-Eyed Venerable.
They fought for over ten rounds. Zhang Sanfeng's sword left countless wounds on the Three-Eyed Venerable, but none were fatal. However, the Three-Eyed Venerable had battered Zhang Sanfeng, leaving him with little fighting power.
"Hmph, do ants dare to compete with the sun and moon? Today, I shall kill you and use your corpse to deter those who do not know their place!"
The Three-Eyed Venerable sneered and condensed another punch, slamming it towards Zhang Sanfeng's body.
"Be careful!"
Lu Yang roared, immediately summoning the Black Dragon Token. The Black Dragon Token instantly transformed into a shield, blocking in front of Zhang Sanfeng.
With a "boom," the Black Dragon Token was smashed to pieces by the Three-Eyed Venerable's punch and fell to the ground.
"Kid, I'll kill you first, then this old man!"
Seeing that his punch was blocked by the Black Dragon Token summoned by Lu Yang, the Three-Eyed Venerable's gaze shifted to Lu Yang. He raised his fist and smashed towards Lu Yang.
Lu Yang dodged quickly. His speed was on par with the Three-Eyed Venerable. Even though the Three-Eyed Venerable's techniques were powerful, every punch missed, and Lu Yang easily evaded them.
"Let's see how long you can dodge!"
The Three-Eyed Venerable's eyes flickered with a cold smile as he continuously punched towards Lu Yang. Although Lu Yang dodged quickly, he was bound to become exhausted. Finally, the Three-Eyed Venerable found an opening and landed a punch on him. Lu Yang's flesh was torn, and he fell from the air.
"Ah..."
Lu Yang roared. A bloody hole had been smashed into his back by the Three-Eyed Venerable. Had Lu Yang's divine soul not been so powerful, that punch would have severely injured his soul.
Just as the Three-Eyed Venerable was gloating and preparing to strike a second time, Zhang Sanfeng raised his sword and swung it at the Three-Eyed Venerable's head.
"You seek death!"
The Three-Eyed Venerable sneered, redirected his punch, and slammed it towards Zhang Sanfeng.
Then, six small swords flew out, piercing the Three-Eyed Venerable's body.
"Ah..."
The Three-Eyed Venerable also roared in agony. Endless pain surged through him.
Lu Yang seized the opportunity to steal the branch-like things from the Three-Eyed Venerable and destroy them.
"Golden Silkworm Gu, whether it succeeds depends on you!"
Lu Yang roared again. The Golden Silkworm Gu, like a streak of golden light, flew directly towards the Three-Eyed Venerable's body and, with a "boom," burrowed into his body.
"Ah... you ghostly thing, get out of my body!"
The Three-Eyed Venerable never expected that the Golden Silkworm Gu, which had been waiting for an opportunity, would attack at this moment. He immediately retreated into the Town Stone Coffin. However, at this point, the Town Stone Coffin was no longer very effective. The item that suppressed the Golden Silkworm Gu within the Three-Eyed Venerable's body had already been destroyed by Lu Yang. His divine soul could not escape the Golden Silkworm Gu's grasp. Even the Town Stone Coffin could only protect the Three-Eyed Venerable's physical body; protecting his divine soul was impossible.
The Three-Eyed Venerable entered the Town Stone Coffin, and the Golden Silkworm Gu began to devour his physical body bit by bit. The Three-Eyed Venerable thrashed wildly within the Town Stone Coffin as if driven mad.
"Hold this thing down and don't let the Three-Eyed Venerable escape!"
Zhang Sanfeng saw that the Town Stone Coffin was about to fly up and immediately said to Lu Yang. The two of them sat directly on top of the Town Stone Coffin, pressing it down firmly, preventing any movement.
Ten minutes later, the Town Stone Coffin calmed down, and the Golden Silkworm Gu crawled out. However, the Golden Silkworm Gu had undergone another transformation, becoming larger and no longer white, but golden.
"Incredible! This little bug has actually matured. If released into the Outer Realm Battlefield, the divine souls of those Outer Realm Demons would not be enough for this little bug to eat!"
Seeing the Golden Silkworm Gu mature, Zhang Sanfeng exclaimed excitedly. His injuries were no longer important; the Golden Silkworm Gu was the most important thing in his heart, as the decisive battle this time rested entirely on the Golden Silkworm Gu.
"Is it really that powerful?"
Hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, Lu Yang's interest was immediately piqued.
"Naturally. You have no idea how powerful this Gilded Bobi Worm is. It's the bane of Outer Realm Demons. Legend has it that this Gilded Bobi Worm was transmitted from another universe. As for where exactly, I don't know, but it's incredibly powerful. Once, a powerful Gu master single-handedly guarded a barrier, preventing any Outer Realm Demons from entering – an unbreachable defense!"
Zhang Sanfeng said directly.
"What is the Outer Realm Battlefield? From what you're saying, you've been in the Outer Realm Battlefield for these past few centuries, guarding Earth's safety?"
Lu Yang continued to ask Zhang Sanfeng.
"You kid, you don't have much skill, but you talk too much. If it weren't for the fact that your cultivation has reached the Earth Immortal realm, I wouldn't have intervened!"
"This Outer Realm Battlefield is where we fight against Outer Realm Demons. Dozens of us guard Earth's barrier. If Earth's barrier is broken, these Outer Realm Demons can enter Earth, leading to widespread destruction!"
"Therefore, even if we sacrifice our lives, we have no regrets!"
Zhang Sanfeng said directly. Thinking of his brothers who fought alongside him falling one by one, Zhang Sanfeng felt immense sorrow.
"I never imagined you were so great!"
After hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, Lu Yang was filled with reverence for him.
"Alright, stop with the pleasantries. You will join us from now on, becoming a member of the Outer Realm Battlefield guarding Earth. With your Gilded Bobi Worm, this battle can surely be ended soon. I also want to return to Wudang Mountain and see my disciples and their disciples."
Zhang Sanfeng said wistfully.
"Okay, but I need to go back and bid farewell to my family. Give me three days, and I'll go to the Outer Realm Battlefield with you."
Lu Yang thought for a moment and agreed.
"Mm!"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
Soon, Zhang Sanfeng and Lu Yang found a place, healed their injuries, and returned to Jiangbei City. Zhang Sanfeng informed everyone of the matter. Although many were reluctant, for the sake of Earth, they respected Lu Yang's choice.
"Yang'er, go with peace of mind. I'll handle things here!"
Lu Tianfeng patted Lu Yang's shoulder and said.
"Mm!"
Lu Yang nodded heavily, then turned his gaze to Zhang Sanfeng.
"Dao Ancestor, let's go!"
After saying that, led by Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Yang and Zhang Sanfeng left Jiangbei City and entered the Outer Realm Battlefield.
Lu Yang did not know how long he would stay here or what powerful beings he would encounter. However, he had only one belief: to continuously improve his cultivation, hone his combat skills, and become the strongest warrior.
"Fat worm, from now on, we will rely on each other to defend Earth together!"
Lu Yang gently stroked the Golden Silkworm Gu's body and said with a smile.
The Golden Silkworm Gu nodded, agreeing with Lu Yang's statement.
