Chapter 674: 350: Tactics Galore, Overpowering the Unity Realm
It was a woman dressed in blue palace attire, with hair cascading like a waterfall, a face like a painting, stunningly beautiful.
This person was none other than Geng Yiyi, a genius disciple of the Sanyuan Palace.
She sat cross-legged in the void, cradling a plain zither in her arms. She glanced indifferently at Lu Yun and then her jade-like fingers gently plucked the zither strings.
Zheng…!
The ethereal sound of the zither instantly rang out, bringing a sense of inner calm to all who heard it, as if it were a divine tune from the Nine Nether that could cleanse restlessness and combativeness from one’s heart.
Invisible ripples of zither music radiated from Geng Yiyi as the center, turning into arc-shaped blades that swiftly rushed toward Lu Yun.
Lu Yun’s consciousness vibrated, and he forcefully suppressed the beating of his heart. Then, the Divine Ability Indestructible Hundred Tribulations spontaneously activated, forming a golden Divine Power armor all around him.
“Unity Realm, you really think highly of me,” he said with a light chuckle. In an instant, he took a step forward against the ripples of zither music.
It was only then that Lu Yun realized how powerful this palace-dressed woman was. The mere sound of her zither exerted great pressure on him. Without the Divine Ability Indestructible Hundred Tribulations, even with his early mastery of the Great Sun Undying Golden Body, it would have been difficult for him to block her zither music.
The sound of the zither passed through his Divine Power armor but failed to break through his defense.
Then, Lu Yun took a second step, a third step…
Bang! Bang!
With each step, the Indestructible Hundred Tribulations armor on his body developed a new crack from the arc-shaped blades formed by the ripples of the zither music.
Yet Lu Yun kept stepping forward toward Geng Yiyi, his expression calm and indifferent, his steps firm, and his form upright, like a divine sword filled with endless sharpness.
Geng Yiyi also felt the pressure from Lu Yun. Her jade hand flicked faster, speeding up the strumming of the zither strings. The arcs became more frequent and faster, hissing as they landed on Lu Yun’s body.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Instantly, countless arc-shaped blades struck the Indestructible Hundred Tribulations armor, sparking brilliant flashes, yet they couldn’t stop Lu Yun from continuing his advance.
Geng Yiyi’s brow furrowed slightly; Lu Yun’s strength and tenacity were beyond her expectations.
As Lu Yun drew increasingly closer, Geng Yiyi’s frown relaxed. She changed her tactics, and her hands fluttered, transforming the peacefulness of the previous melody into urgency. The invisible ripples of zither music now carried intangible sword Qi.
Even though the sword Qi was invisible, its power was exceptionally strong. In no time, the Indestructible Hundred Tribulations armor Lu Yun wore began to crack.
Hum…!
Finally, after taking the tenth step, Lu Yun’s Divine Ability Indestructible Hundred Tribulations armor utterly collapsed.
This was the first time the Indestructible Divine Power armor had been breached head-on.
But when he realized that his opponent was of the Unity Realm, a whole realm above him, he came to terms with it.
No matter how unbeatable a Divine Ability, it required a sufficient realm to support it to unleash its true strength.
He was currently only at the Heavenly Human Realm, and his mastery over the Divine Ability Indestructible Hundred Tribulations was merely superficial.
Clang…!
The sounds of Geng Yiyi’s fingertips flicking the zither echoed sharply, the countless invisible sword Qi consolidating into one incredibly mighty sword radiance that pierced the night sky and charged straight at Lu Yun.
Reacting swiftly, Lu Yun immediately sacrificed the Blood Slaughter Blade.
Heaven and Earth Draw Saber Slash!
Boom Boom Boom!
The earth-shattering slash collided with the invisible zither music sword radiance, and the fierce afterwaves burst forth.
Even though he shattered the zither sword radiance, Lu Yun felt a numbness in his arms and a boiling of blood within him.
“This woman is no ordinary Unity Realm practitioner,” Lu Yun thought as he swiftly dodged the relentless assault of zither music sword Qi.
Bang! Bang!
Lu Yun was forced to retreat by the continuous zither music sword Qi.
Even his handsome cheeks were grazed by the enemy’s sword Qi, leaving a faint trail of blood.
But when Geng Yiyi looked at Lu Yun, a ripple of emotion surfaced in her beautiful eyes.
That’s because she saw the faint cut on Lu Yun’s cheek, from which blood seeped out but quickly reversed its course and re-entered the wound, which healed in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind.
“Such terrifying healing power,” Geng Yiyi thought to herself with a chill, her regard for Lu Yun rising even higher.
He was not only resilient and tough, but he could also flee. Now, he had an extremely strong survivability skill: a powerful ability to heal, almost monstrous.
Her jade hand plucked the zither strings again, the technique changing, the music ringing out like thundering hooves, as the overwhelming sword Qi of the zither rushed forward.
“Instant Horizon!” Lu Yun bellowed and then dodged the new round of zither music sword Qi attacks, appearing directly behind Geng Yiyi in mid-air.
At that moment, Lu Yun gripped the Blood Slaughter Blade with both hands, as the power of the world surged, and the Rules were pushed to their limit.
Demon Slaying God-Killing Saber!
Hum!
A massive black Blade Aura appeared momentarily, bearing an indomitable and extraordinarily powerful presence capable of tearing the fabric of the skies, dominant and unstoppable.
“Another perfected Divine Ability, a pity it’s only Eighth Grade; it still can’t harm me,” Geng Yiyi’s brows moved slightly as she quickly strummed the zither strings, gathering the music to construct an even stronger domain, more piercing in its assault.
“Break for me!” Lu Yun bellowed, delivering a ferocious slash directly above Geng Yiyi’s head.
From their several exchanges, he had come to understand the intricacies of her Divine Ability: using the zither music to form an intangible domain, easily manipulating the rules of Heaven and Earth in this area, transforming the music into sharp attacks wherever it went.
