Necropolis Immortal

was fake too!

“You fell for it too!” Lu Yun’s voice ran over his head.

Searing heat appeared over Yun Shuige as crimson sword light once more split through the void, careening straight toward him.
Lu Yun didn’t give his opponent a chance to react.
He gathered his strongest strength and lashed out with the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword, infusing the air with terrifying sword qi and swallowing Yun Shuige.

Clang!!

A teeth-numbing sound rang out as Lu Yun’s hands shook.
He almost lost his grip on Immortals Forbidden.

Yun Shuige’s body drilled into the ground from the force of the Lu young master’s technique.
The sound came from a golden bell that’d appeared over him.
It trembled as bright peals echoed through the air.

A fifth rank immortal treasure.

Lu Yun’s arms ached slightly.
He wielded only a lower dao rank weapon, one that would’ve been destroyed had it not been refined from such heaven-defying materials.
A sweet taste welled up in the back of his throat and blood trickled out of his mouth.

……

“This is the Profound Bell… The young lord is in trouble!”

Enormous bell peals filled Immortal Burial Valley.
Cultivators scattered throughout were amazed by what they heard, while some were downright dismayed.
The Profound Bell was a defensive treasure that Marquis Skycloud had given to Yun Shuige.
A situation that’d forced him to bring it out meant that his life was in danger.

Regardless of their cultivation level, all cultivators affiliated with Marquis Skycloud put down their task at hand and sped toward the source of the bell’s tolls.

……

“Your old man’s pretty decent to you, you have a fifth rank immortal treasure to defend yourself with!” Lu Yun stood in the air and looked imperiously down at the crawling Yun Shuige.

“You’re quite strong.” Yun Shuige’s clothes were tattered and his golden crown had long disappeared somewhere.
His hair dangled in a tangled mess over his shoulders.
“But you can’t kill me since I have an immortal treasure defending me and my men will be here shortly.
You’ll be the one to die then.”

He’d lost to Lu Yun whether in terms of strength or strategy, but Yun Shuige wasn’t depressed.
True geniuses didn’t sink into mental slump after one loss—they grew stronger with each failure.

Such was the kind of person he was.

The golden bell over his head tolled with increasing grandeur, gathering the cultivators in the valley that answered to his father.

“You think I can’t kill you?” Lu Yun cackled, sweeping the fifty kilometers around them with the Eye of Nullification.
There were no other cultivators on the scene as of yet.
Marquis Skycloud’s cultivators were spread out in a bid to cover more ground in the valley.
Thus, it would take them a while to arrive.
Yun Shuige had said that just to persuade Lu Yun to stand down.

Goodwill surged out of the Seal of the Multitude and flowed into Lu Yun’s body, replenishing his consumption of Hongmeng qi.

At soul separation stage, he no longer wished to use goodwill to enhance his cultivation.
He’d rather save it to enhance the might of his heavenly dao combat arts.
There were other methods to enhance his cultivation, but the strength of heavenly dao combat arts could only be increased by goodwill.

But now… he could tell that Yun Shuige was a fat cat for skinning.
That fifth rank immortal treasure was no ordinary specimen of its kind since it could withstand the Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword.

The Nine Oscillations of the Heavenly Sword melded sword qi into the void and attacked through the limits of space.
Ordinary defensive immortals weapons couldn’t even touch a wisp of sword qi, to say nothing of defending against it

As goodwill replenished Hongmeng qi, Lu Yun rapidly formed hand seals and collected sword qi over his head.
They interwove with each other until they formed the image of a silver pagoda.
Growing until it reached twenty-seven meters tall, each floor was one meter tall and the entire structure made of sword qi.
Simple, yet ancient patterns snaked over it.

Sword qi cascaded down from the peak of the mountain and enveloped Lu Yun, bathing the young man with silver sword qi.

The image of the sword page was dignified and stately.
While it was black, it was overlaid with a faint hue of silver due to being refined as Lu Yun’s image of heaven and earth.
There was also something a little more special about this image compared to when it was just the pitch-black pagoda.

“Ready or not, little marquis, here I come!” Lu Yun threw his head back with laughter when his image finalized and crossed his hands in front of his chest.
The sword pagoda overhead shot and came down on Yun Shuige beneath him.

The Yun young lord paled and the Profound Bell over his head tolled with the strain of overextension.
His marvelous treasure began to darken and dim.

“Die!!” Lu Yun pressed down with both hands and bid the gigantic sword pagoda to swallow Yun Shuige’s body.
