Chapter 1514 You're a grandson
He felt incredibly lucky. When the Netherworld Yin-Yang Mirror malfunctioned earlier, Lu Chen, Fang Xinyi, and the young cultivator all thought they were doomed.
Little did anyone expect that the Star Core Jade Token obtained on the ninth floor of the Sky Time Tower would play a crucial role.
Previously, Lu Chen had never understood the purpose of the jade tablet engraved with the words "Soul Suppressor". Later, after Lu Chen refined it, the jade tablet automatically disappeared from Lu Chen's palm.
In retrospect, this "Soul-Suppressing" Star Core Jade Tablet must have recorded some kind of great supernatural power that could suppress the spirit or soul of a magical artifact, which is why the originally fiercely resisting Netherworld Yin-Yang Mirror was stabilized.
The terrifying power of the Daoist laws that had been unleashed earlier had indeed startled everyone, but fortunately, Lu Chen intervened in time and removed the Yin Mirror from within.
This allowed the group to leave the inner space of the Netherworld Yin-Yang Mirror unharmed.
Given that the Yin and Yang mirrors each serve their own masters, how could Gu Tingyuan continue to cast spells to trap Lu Chen and the others after taking away the Yang mirror?
Gu Tingyuan was stunned for a while when he saw Lu Chen laughing loudly, before he noticed that Lu Chen also had a bronze mirror in his hand, about the size of a palm-leaf fan.
Immediately, he subconsciously raised the bronze mirror in his hand and carefully compared the two. After confirming that the two mirrors were exactly the same, Gu Tingyuan's expression instantly turned ugly.
He thought to himself: He had finally managed to refine the first layer of restrictions on the bronze mirror, but the mirror was still incomplete.
Although he didn't know how Lu Chen did it, he was certain that the Netherworld Yin-Yang Mirror had indeed been split in two.
"Old Gu, you didn't expect this, did you?" Lu Chen said with a loud laugh, "This Netherworld Yin-Yang Mirror is composed of two parts. Mine is the grandfather's mirror, and yours is the grandson's mirror. The grandson is not as powerful as the grandfather. You, the grandson, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to your grandfather?"
Now that he knew the other party was a member of the Gu family, Lu Chen saw no need to continue pretending.
Fang Xinyi stood aside, watching Gu Tingyuan's expression change from surprise to anger, and then glanced at Lu Chen's exaggerated expression and sarcastic words, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She was usually a serious person who rarely smiled, but Lu Chen's behavior today was so ridiculous that it made people burst into laughter.
"Is it funny?" Gu Tingyuan exuded murderous intent, put away the broken bronze mirror, and stared at Lu Chen, asking coldly.
Lu Chen raised his hand and summoned the greatsword "Godslayer," a black blade that exuded a profound aura.
Then, he said in a serious tone, "Of course it's funny. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. What? You think you can trap your grandfather with a grandson's mirror? Isn't that utterly rebellious?"
Before he finished speaking, a chilling killing intent emanated from him, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyuan's eyes instantly turned red, and he could no longer suppress his anger.
With a wave of his hands, a long sword appeared out of thin air, its tip pointing directly at Lu Chen. Then, it transformed into a streak of light and slashed at his opponent.
At the same time, the boundary space of the Dao Integration Realm rapidly expanded, sealing off the surrounding space completely, like a huge cage, leaving no place to escape.
Gu Tingyuan's attacks were incredibly swift, each sword strike carrying earth-shattering power. He knew Lu Chen's strength was not to be underestimated, so he held nothing back and went all out.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed. His greatsword, "Godslayer," traced streaks of starlight through the air, easily deflecting Gu Tingyuan's attacks. The two exchanged blows, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
While dodging Gu Tingyuan's attacks, Lu Chen searched for his opponent's weaknesses. He knew that to completely defeat Gu Tingyuan, he had to find the weak point in his defense.
Suddenly, Gu Tingyuan thrust his sword toward Lu Chen's throat with such speed that it was almost impossible for anyone to react.
However, Lu Chen remained calm and composed. In a flash, he appeared behind Gu Tingyuan and swung his sword down with a backhand strike. The force of the blow was immense; had Gu Tingyuan not dodged in time, he would likely have been killed on the spot.
Gu Tingyuan was secretly shocked, not expecting Lu Chen to be so fast. He dared not be careless and immediately unleashed his strongest attack.
He held the sword in both hands, his whole body radiating a dazzling light, and a huge ball of energy condensed at the tip of the sword, which he then hurled forward.
The ball of energy flew towards Lu Chen like a shooting star, tearing apart the space in its path.
Seeing this, Lu Chen dared not be careless at all. He held the "Godslayer" horizontally in front of his chest, and a powerful shield immediately formed around him.
The energy ball collided with the shield, unleashing a violent explosion that sent shockwaves trembling through the surrounding space.
Although Lu Chen successfully withstood the attack, he also felt a surge of blood and qi, clearly suffering a significant impact.
While Gu Tingyuan and Lu Chen were engaged in fierce combat, Gu Tingyuan's companion Ding Yiyan also launched an attack on Fang Xinyi.
His figure moved like lightning, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of Fang Xinyi, holding a dagger that shimmered with purple light in his hand, and stabbed at Fang Xinyi.
Fang Xinyi was prepared. She nimbly dodged the attack by turning to the side, and at the same time, she waved her right hand, and a beam of cyan light shot out from her palm, directly hitting Ding Yiyan's shoulder.
Ding Yiyan groaned and swayed slightly, but quickly regained his balance.
Knowing that his opponent was not to be underestimated, he quickly adjusted his strategy, abandoning his relentless attacks and adopting more flexible tactics.
He sometimes engaged in close combat, and sometimes kept his distance to launch ranged attacks, making it difficult for Fang Xinyi to predict his movements.
Although Fang Xinyi is quite strong, she still struggles against Ding Yiyan's unpredictable fighting style.
She took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and gathered her divine energy between her palms, forming a sturdy shield. Whenever Ding Yiyan launched an attack, she was able to block it with the shield in time, while simultaneously looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
As time went on, the battle between the two sides became increasingly fierce. Ding Yiyan realized that he could not win by relying solely on speed and skill, so he decided to use his signature move.
In a flash, he transformed into several afterimages, launching attacks on Fang Xinyi from all directions.
Fang Xinyi was startled when she saw the number of enemies increase sharply, but she quickly calmed down and used her senses to determine which one was the real body.
She focused her attention and waited for the best opportunity. When Ding Yiyan's true form reappeared, Fang Xinyi unhesitatingly cast a magic seal, hitting the target accurately.
Ding Yiyan groaned and stumbled back a few steps, clearly injured.
Fang Xinyi is, after all, an ancient monster who has lived for millions of years; how could Ding Yiyan possibly be a match for her?
