114. Sudden change in the situation
Lu Huangtian stood still, but there was no panic in his eyes as he watched the departing crowd.
Instead, she turned to Lu Ling with a slightly apologetic tone and said, "Thank you for your help!"
Lu Ling smiled nonchalantly: "It's all for my clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ling's heartbeats began to pound. His already aged face began to rot at an alarming rate, and the life force of a powerful Dou Zun expert began to vanish in an instant.
At the same time, milky white, transparent patterns quietly appeared on Lu Huangtian's forehead!
In the next breath, just as Lu Ling's life force was about to completely vanish, lightning-shaped patterns covered his entire body. Streaks of dark purple lightning, like small, blackish-purple snakes, constantly darted and weaved, occasionally emitting bursts of dazzling light.
What no one expected was that the sea of lightning that Lu Ling had built with his life would completely engulf Shi Jiuyue and Xu Ce, who were not far away!
Countless bolts of lightning were everywhere, densely filling the hundred-zhang space, and the dazzling lightning made it impossible to see the scene inside.
Suddenly, in one part of the sea of lightning, thunder surged and streams of battle energy caused the sea of lightning to churn continuously, but it was still a little short of breaking through the sea of lightning and could not break out of it.
"Lu Ling, you will die a horrible death!" Shi Jiuyue's voice boomed like thunder, but it was also somewhat unstable, indicating that Shi Jiuyue's condition in the sea of lightning was not good.
On the other side, a sonic boom, powerful enough to shake and shatter this space, exploded, tearing a hole in the sea of lightning.
However, Xu Ce, covered in blood, had just emerged from the sea of lightning when he saw Lu Huangtian with a fierce expression.
The transparent patterns on Lu Huangtian's body turned silvery-white, and an invisible blade seemed to split the heavens and earth in two.
Xu Ce tried to defend himself by gathering all his fighting spirit, but the sharp metal pattern sliced through all his attached fighting spirit, the invisible blade passing smoothly by.
Xu Ce's eyes were filled with disbelief as his life force was quickly extinguished and he was swallowed by the sea of lightning behind him.
Lu Huangtian took something out of his storage ring and threw it high into the air, then teleported away.
Lu Huangtian teleported to Shi Ye and Xu Chengze's side. They had only just recovered from the accident. Lu Ling and Lu Huangtian's actions were simply too swift.
Looking at the two, Lu Huangtian's eyes showed undisguised pity, and the dark and silver patterns on Lu Huangtian's body flashed one after another.
Seeing Xu Chengze and Shi Ye trapped in their positions, Lu Huangtian mercilessly swung his silver-white arm, cleaving open space and cutting them in two.
Before Xu Chengze died, his face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't understand: with all the Dou Zun experts dead, how could Lu Huangtian achieve his goal of dominating the Northwest Region? He had given up everything to cooperate with Lu Huangtian, so why did this happen?
The fact that he was not killed instantly because of his Dou Zong strength made Xu Chengze suddenly feel ridiculous.
Perhaps I have always been a pawn of Lu Huangtian. Back then at the Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering, he threatened me, either to kill the two geniuses of the Echoing Sect, or to die. I may have already been included in Lu Huangtian's scheme.
Looking into the distance, Xu Chengze closed his eyes.
Lu Huangtian acted swiftly and decisively, successively killing Xu Ce, Xu Chengze, and Shi Ye. The speed at which Xu Ce, a Dou Zun, fell was far too fast, demonstrating the ruthlessness and insidiousness of the Xuanwen Sect's plan.
Even the escaped Dou Zun was shocked by this scene. When Xu Yingwu saw the Echo Sect's patriarch and his father die instantly, his eyes turned bloodshot and he was about to rush out to fight, but he was knocked unconscious by Xiao Yan's palm.
Looking at the unconscious Xu Yingwu, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. If anyone had to say who was the most affected today, it would definitely be Xu Yingwu.
Xu Chengze's defection, coupled with the near destruction of the Echo Sect, left even Xiao Yan wondering how to face all of this after Xu Yingwu woke up.
Lu Ling and Lu Huangtian acted too quickly. While Shi Ye and Xu Chengze were still marveling at Lu Ling's death-defying behavior, Lei Hai had already engulfed Shi Jiuyue and Xu Ce.
No one would have expected that Lu Ling, a Dou Zun powerhouse, would directly sacrifice his own life to unleash the full power of the Life-Sucking Rune, and even fewer people would have expected that the person this power was initially aimed at was his own ally.
Looking at the city gate before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel at how decisive and swift the Xuanwen Sect's actions were; even several Dou Zun hadn't had time to evacuate Tianlan City.
Although Lu Huangtian's actions just now greatly reduced the Xuanwen Sect's nominal strength, at this moment only Lu Huangtian, a Dou Zun, remained on the scene.
However, Xiao Yan's unease grew stronger, and he had no intention of turning back. He had a strong feeling that the Xuanwen Sect was plotting a huge operation!
However, just as Xiao Yan was about to leave Tianlan City, he sensed some aura above the city gate, which belonged to the Xuanwen Sect!
"Something must be wrong with us being here. Let's go!" the old doctor warned.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan suddenly increased his speed again, leading a group of people straight out the door.
Just as Xiao Yan reached the city gate, a sudden change occurred!
The item that Lu Huangtian took out in the city suddenly shot straight into the sky and flew into the air.
During flight, it continuously expands, and at the same time, the bodies, flesh and blood of the powerful warriors who died in battle constantly turn into thin lines that connect to the objects.
As the object continued to expand, it finally became visible to the naked eye, revealing itself to be a huge, flashing, blood-red eyeball!
"Blood sacrifice to the sacred artifact!" Lu Huangtian's hoarse and eerie voice resounded throughout the vast Tianlan City, and everyone who heard it felt an absolute ferocity in his words!
Then, right before Xiao Yan's eyes, the Xuanwen Sect members on the city gate exploded one after another like fireworks.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Explosions from the Xuanwen Sect echoed throughout the entire city walls of Tianlan City.
As the explosion occurred, blood energy slowly rose, forming a blood-red membrane that blocked Xiao Yan's path.
As Xiao Yan charged forward with all his might, he collided directly with the membrane. The moment they made contact, a foul and nauseating stench assaulted him, and even with his Dou Zun cultivation, Xiao Yan's face turned deathly pale.
But the next moment, his aura was directly devoured by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and finally turned into nothingness.
Without pausing, Xiao Yan instantly gathered Dou Zun-level Dou Qi and unleashed two energy seals, one large and one small, with his hands.
"The Mountain-Opening Seal!"
"Turning the sea seal over!"
The two energy hand seals, capable of directly annihilating a Dou Zong, merged into one, rushing straight towards the blood-red membrane, with red lotus karmic fire continuously rising from the hand seals.
The handprint and membrane continued to expand, the nauseating stench was evaporated and then swallowed by the flames. Xiao Yan kept moving his hands, and another Flame Dividing Wave Ruler burst forth!
Just as cracks were about to appear on the blood-red membrane, the eye in the sky suddenly winked at Xiao Yan in a strange way, making Xiao Yan feel a chill run down his spine.
The turbulence of the crimson membrane stopped instantly, all the energy was neutralized, and it still blocked Xiao Yan and the others.
"This is troublesome," Xiao Yan thought to himself.
