Chapter 2395: Terrible Danger

Chapter 2395: Terrible Danger

While it might be possible for a person to lack emotions, it was completely impossible for anyone to have never suffered. Even someone born into wealth and power could still suffer from loneliness, and in fact, loneliness was one of the worst torments that one could suffer.

"Elder Song, are you alright?" Lu Yin said.

Liu Song coughed twice and then waved his hand wearily. "I’m fine, but I cannot help you. Times have changed, and you must rely on yourself to perfect the Fourteenth Sword. I’m tired, so I am going to return and rest now."

Big Sis arched a brow. Go back? How could they allow that? She looked over at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin frowned. He glanced over at Liu Yishou. The man was standing far away from Elder Song, which meant that the needle-like weapon that Lu Yin had hidden in the man’s cosmic ring was useless.

However, Liu Yishou was not very far away from Lu Yin...

Given the situation, Lu Yin took a few steps in Liu Yishou’s direction without revealing anything. As he walked, he asked, "Elder Song, are you really all right?"

Liu Song waved the question away, and Liu Du quickly stepped forward to help the old man.

Coincidentally, it was at that moment that Lu Yin arrived within five meters of Liu Yishou, and the swordsman was instantly Possessed and made to step forward. "Elder Song, I'll help you."

Just a few steps took Liu Yishou beyond the range of Lu Yin’s Possession, and Lu Yin’s consciousness returned to his own body.

Liu Yishou felt terribly confused. Why was he in a different place?n-)o--v-.e-/l/(b(-1/)n

Before Liu Yishou could process the shift, Liu Song nodded. "Then help me return. Liu Du, show them to the Sword Monument."

Liu Du nodded, and told Liu Yishou, "Elder Yishou, I will have to trouble you to escort Elder Song home."

Liu Yishou automatically walked towards Liu Song. He still could not understand what had just happened. He looked back at where he had been standing a moment before. Had he moved? If so, why could he not remember anything?

Liu Song was just about to leave while leaning on Liu Yishou.

Big Sis was growing impatient, and she wanted to stop the old man from leaving.

Lu Yin winked, asking Big Sis not to make any moves. He then took a few steps towards Liu Song and Liu Yishou. "Senior, are you sure that you are fine? The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Swords are unblockable, and this junior is unable to fully control the strength of either of them."

Liu Du looked over at Lu Yin. "Elder Song is fine. If you wish, you are welcome to keep the Thirteen Swords for yourself. There is no issue if you do not want to share it with us."

This was not the moment for Lu Yin to pay Liu Du any mind at all. Liu Song and Liu Yishou were almost in range. One more step, and as Lu Yin’s foot struck the ground, his perspective changed. He had Possessed Liu Yishou and was holding Elder Song.

Elder Song did not notice that Lu Yin had Possessed Liu Yishou. There was no hesitation at all as the needle-like weapon was taken out of Liu Yishou’s cosmic ring and instantly stabbed at Elder Song.

Given the current situation, no one had expected Liu Yishou to suddenly attack Liu Song. Even if every single member of the Liu family were asked about it, no one would believe it to be possible, and yet they had just witnessed it for themselves.

The needle instantly pierced Liu Song's heart, stabbing straight through his body. Blood ran down the needle-like weapon and fell to the ground. Lu Yin had purposely not used the slipper, as he was worried that doing so would instantly kill Elder Song, and then the old man’s death would prove nothing. Instead, Lu Yin would earn the Liu family’s eternal hatred.

Furthermore, the slipper was too distinct a weapon, and there was no denying that it belonged to Lu Yin. He was the only person with a slipper as a weapon.

"Liu Yishou!" Liu Du shouted as rage and disbelief filled his eyes.

Every single member of the Liu family in the nearby area was completely stunned by what had just happened.

Lu Yin’s vision shifted once more as his consciousness returned to his body. He stared at Liu Song.

Big Sis was doing exactly the same thing.

Liu Yishou regained consciousness, and he stared in a daze at the weapon in his hand. What? What? What just happened?

His head tipped upwards, and he looked at Liu Song. Vibrant scarlet eyes were the first thing that Liu Yishou saw. Huh? Scarlet?

Liu Song slapped a hand at Liu Yishou, but right before the attack could land, Lu Yin used the Ce Secret Art to move Liu Yishou away. The palm strike hit nothing at all, but the old man instantly locked his eyes onto Lu Yin. Those scarlet eyes were absolutely terrifying. As soon as the old man stared at Lu Yin, many people were able to see how his eyes had changed color, including Liu Du.

The patriarch was all too familiar with this color. To qualify to become the Liu family’s patriarch, Liu Du had to spend time on the rear battlefield, and he would never be able to forget that distinctive color. "A corpse king?"

"So, he is an Aeternal!" Lu Yin yelled as he raised a hand to release a Hollow Palm.

A Hollow Palm incorporated Lu Yin’s battle force and the overlaying stacks method, and the strength of the attack caused Liu Yishou’s scalp to go numb, as he was currently closest to Lu Yin.

Big Sis raised her hammer and smashed it down.

Liu Song stared at Lu Yin. "You took control of Liu Yishou. You are able to puppet people."

As he spoke, the old man’s body transformed, and he allowed the Hollow Palm to strike him. However, both the palm strike and the hammer simply passed through the old man’s body, and they both struck the ground. The Liu family’s territory trembled.

Lu Yin gritted his teeth. It was this trick again. In the Lower Realm, this was the trick that the old man had used to escape. They could not allow him to escape a second time.

The jiao shot into the sky from Lu Yin's shoulders and instantly regained its full size, completely covering the sky and blocking the sun. A terrible pressure enveloped the entire Liu family, and the beast stared down at the place where Liu Song remained standing.

"If I want to leave, you can't stop me," Liu Song said. His voice carried the aura of endless years, which was completely different from how he had been speaking but a moment before.

Hearing the voice provided a flash of insight to Big Sis, and she blurted out, "Wu Xing!"

Lu Yin was startled. "Wu Xing?"

Big Sis shouted loudly, "That's right! He’s Wu Tian's adopted son, Wu Xing. Actually, that explains why he was able to shatter my battle technique so easily, and it was also why I felt that his sword was so familiar. Wu Xing used both of those abilities."

Liu Song looked over at Big Sis in surprise. "An old acquaintance? Who are you?"

Big Sis had no interest in small talk, and her hammer rose back up and crashed down again.

"The Thundering Hammer? Then you’re another ancient person from the Heavens Sect era." Liu Song's voice took on a lazier sound, and it suddenly became identical to the Undying God’s manner of speech that Lu Yin had heard in the past.

Lu Yin had never considered that Liu Song was actually Undying God. No, he was one of Undying God’s Semi-Progenitor avatars. "Uncle Liu, kill him! He’s one of the Seven Skygods."

Lu Yin’s shout was unnecessary, as Liu Du was able to understand the situation. Even though the patriarch had never heard the name “Wu Xing” before, he recognized the words “Heavens Sect era” as well as the fact that Liu Song had admitted to being acquaintances with someone from the ancient era, which was far from normal. “All members of the Liu family, fall back! Activate the defensive array! Protect the Sword Monument!"

In the sky above, the jiao swatted a clawed paw at Liu Song, and the pressure of a Progenitor swept out in all directions.

Even the Seven Skygods’ Semi-Progenitor avatars would be restricted by the pressure of a Progenitor.

However, things turned out completely different from what the Liu family expected, though Lu Yin and Big Sis were unsurprised—Liu Song remained completely unscathed. How did he manage it?

"No, he's injured!" Big Sis screamed as she stared at Liu Song. "His breathing has changed!"

Lu Yin looked up and yelled at the jiao, "Hit him again! Tear him apart!"

It was completely outside of Lu Yin’s expectations for Liu Song to be Undying God’s Semi-Progenitor avatar, but this explained why the Fourteenth Sword had been ineffective. In fact, this meant that the Thirteenth Sword had also done nothing, and Wu Xing had instead simply faked being injured. He had not known what the Fourteenth Sword did, so he had not been able to fake the effects of the attack.

The jiao raised its head into the sky and roared as its claws fell once again.

Liu Song continued to dodge the jiao, though Lu Yin and Big Sis’s attacks were completely useless. Still, the Skygod’s avatar was not able to completely ignore the jiao’s attacks that contained the strength of a Progenitor.

How could a Semi-Progenitor avatar ignore the power of a Progenitor, even if the person was one of the Seven Skygods?

The Liu family was entirely centered around the Sword Monument, and sword qi shot high into the sky as the family’s defensive array appeared and gradually shrouded the entire area.

The people further away who were waiting to visit the Sword Monument were all horrified by the sight. Throughout all of recorded history, the Liu family only activated their defensive array in a few rare circumstances. In fact, many people had forgotten that the Liu family also boasted a Progenitor and protective sourcebox arrays.

The Liu family’s defensive sourcebox array had been created by an Array Grandmaster who had risen from the Liu family itself. It utilized a danger zone that consisted of sword qi to create a net that surrounded the Liu family’s entire territory. Instantly, Liu Song was forced to deal with dozens of sword attacks that each contained the strength of a Semi-Progenitor. Theoretically, it was an assault that no Semi-Progenitor could endure, and even Progenitors would be hesitant to face it.

Liu Song looked up at the net of sword qi, and he also saw the jiao in the sky. He glanced around and saw that both Lu Yin and Big Sis were also targeting him. "Can I not just quietly guard the Sword Monument, as is my duty? Forget it. If this is how things are, I’ll first eliminate a scourge!”

The man suddenly focused on Lu Yin, and then his body disappeared. He reappeared right in front of Lu Yin, and a long sword shot up from the ground, almost instantly creating an entire forest of swords. This was the Semi-Progenitor’s inner world: Sword Forest.

Lu Yin continuously retreated, and the jiao quickly attacked, but Liu Song used the Progenitor-level attack to move closer to Lu Yin. The old man smiled at Lu Yin. "Honestly, I actually want to die, but unfortunately, you can't kill me."

The sword forest stabbed at Lu Yin, and there was no place for him to escape on the ground or in the sky.

However, Lu Yin did not even try to escape. Instead, he raised a hand and held it out towards the nearby Liu Song. "With the ground in the sky, the sky will flip."

The moment Lu Yin spoke, Liu Song and his entire Sword Forest were completely suppressed by an unseen power.

This was something that not even a Progenitor could accomplish.

The moment Lu Yin used Flipping the Sky, the entire region trembled, and even the Fifth Mainland itself gave a slight quiver.

At this exact moment, a person arrived in the Dominion Realm from the Outer Realm. They traveled alone, and they instantly focused on the Liu family’s home. Their body swayed slightly, and they shot through the Perennial World at an incredible speed.

"Undying God, you will stay here!" Progenitor Long appeared, his eyes wide as he looked forward. There was something odd about the man’s pupils, and they caused one side of the void to disappear, creating a point of indescribable darkness, which Undying God quickly avoided.

"That’s quite dangerous, but Long Er, you cannot stop me." As Undying God spoke, his body had already disappeared.

Progenitor Long was startled. Could he not even find his opponent?

Xia Shenji suddenly appeared, and his Shenwu World spread out. Chains formed from Divine Martial Armor appeared and shot out in a specific direction, and Undying God appeared in front of the chains. He shook his head and took another step, but at that moment, Bai Wangyuan also appeared. Clouds spread out and filled the entire Dominion Realm

Wang Fan also appeared. He waved a hand, and countless black ropes shot out from the void, creating a prison of black ropes that filled the Dominion Realm.

Undying God was essentially trapped in a cage, and there was no chance for him to escape.

"Since you've come here, you can forget about ever leaving! Attack now and kill him as soon as possible!" Bai Wangyuan shouted. All four Progenitors attacked at once, but as they stared, Undying God’s body dissipated, almost as though he had never actually been present at all.

Xia Shenji's pupils instantly constricted. "He jumped through time!"

"This is bad." Just as Wang Fan was about to give chase, an enormous pair of eyes appeared behind him. It was Corpse God.

The massive figure raised a hand and struck at the Dominion Realm. One person after another appeared, and a massive battle suddenly broke out between Progenitors in the Dominion Realm.

In the Middle Realm, Liu Song's body was firmly held down by the jiao’s claws. The jiao was clearly proud of itself, and it bared its fangs and flashed its claws.

Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. He had suppressed Liu Song with Flipping the Sky, which had created a brief opening that the jiao had seized. At the moment, Liu Song was completely incapable of escaping from the jiao.

Lu Yin had no idea how Liu Song was able to ignore everyone’s attacks, but at this moment, escape was impossible.

Lu Yin bent down, but just as he was about to say something to Liu Song, the old man’s body exploded, not even leaving bones behind.

At the same time, above Lu Yin's head, Undying God stepped out and looked down at the young man. His shadow covered him with a deathly silence.
