Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

Chapter 216: ”Take Turns on Him for Me!”

Massacre the sect and exterminate the clan!

Such a casual phrase, spoken from the mouth of the young man in front of them, who looked like nothing more than a student on a spring outing, carried with it an overwhelming sense of unreality.

The two disciples of the Sword Sect even thought they had misheard.

However, they had no chance to ask again.

”Swish!”

Sword light flashed from its sheath, circling lightly around their necks, and in the next moment, two heads rolled to the ground as the scent of blood instantly alarmed the Upper Profound Sword Sect.

”Who goes there!?”

”Who dares trespass upon my Sword Sect!?”

Sword lights soared from various points on Profound Sword Mountain, voices filled with shock and anger, yet the next second, their voices were cut off in their throats.

At the summit of Profound Sword Mountain, the two Foundation Establishment True Persons, the Profound Gold Sword Master and the Profound Silver Sword Master, were abruptly startled awake.

They both felt through their spiritual senses that a great disaster had befallen them.

Especially the Profound Gold Sword Master, whose face turned pale with panic as he quickly stepped out of his meditation chamber and looked toward the source of the commotion.

The next moment, both of them showed expressions of utter disbelief:

”What is… that?”

Profound Sword Mountain was situated among numerous peaks, its surroundings usually covered with flowers, grass, and trees.

Yet at this moment, all they saw was a dark, overwhelming white tide.

Boom!

That surging white tide churned furiously as countless figures emerged from it, wave after wave, shoulder to shoulder, holding sharp weapons, numbering in the tens of thousands.

At the forefront stood a man and a woman.

The woman possessed unparalleled beauty and a cold expression, with a massive hall filled with sinister energy towering behind her.

The man wore a bitter expression, standing atop a diagram of the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

Both of them were clearly Foundation Establishment True Persons!

However, at this moment, these two Foundation Establishment True Persons stood respectfully with their hands folded at their sides, flanking a majestic Taoist in a black cloak, holding a magical sword upside down.

For a moment, the Profound Silver Sword Master was horrified.

With his Foundation Establishment perception, he could naturally tell that the dark mass below was not real people, but some kind of puppet-like beings.

Yet undeniably, even if they were puppets, they still represented a terrifying force.

Although the opponent was just one person in essence, he was enough to rival the entire Upper Profound Sword Sect!

Thinking this, the Profound Silver Sword Master was about to step forward and question him.

However, before he could move, the Profound Gold Sword Master beside him grabbed his arm tightly.

”Profound Gold…!?”

The Profound Silver Sword Master turned his head, instantly stunned, for the always proud and confident Profound Gold Sword Master now wore a face as pale as paper, filled with panic.

”It’s him… it’s really him!”

”He’s that demonic fiend!”

Upon hearing this, the Profound Silver Sword Masterʼs face also changed.

The Profound Gold Sword Master had fled from Jiangbei before, and the one he described the most was precisely this so-called demonic fiend.

”Activate the Sword Formation!”

The next second, the Profound Silver Sword Master shouted loudly, reacting with impressive speed.

On Profound Sword Mountain, ten thousand swords rang out in unison, and the brilliance of the formation instantly illuminated the sky.

Yet Lu Yang remained completely calm upon seeing this.

He even smiled and said, ”Do the two of you really think I’m the kind of fool who, overestimating his strength, would come swaggering in through the front door?”

”What…?”

Upon hearing this, the Profound Silver Sword Master was momentarily stunned.

Before he could react, countless screams suddenly erupted from within Profound Sword Mountain, which was now covered by the formation!

Looking around, he saw that the defensive Sword Formation, originally meant to fend off outsiders, had now turned against all the disciples of the Upper Profound Sword Sect!

Countless sword lights rained down in an instant.

Except for the disciples who had reached the peak of Qi Refining, the rest, completely unprepared, were instantly pierced through by the sword lights!

In the blink of an eye, the entire Profound Sword Mountain was dyed red with blood.

”This is impossible!”

The Profound Silver Sword Masterʼs eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The Profound Gold Sword Master, on the other hand, stood frozen in shock, muttering, ”How could this happen? Why would the Mountain-Guarding Sword Formation betray us…?”

”There’s nothing impossible about it.”

Lu Yang shook his head and said, ”The fact that the Upper Profound Sword Sect has a Mountain-Guarding Sword Formation is no secret.”

”Since I knew about it, how could I have come here without any preparation?”

He had always acted only when he was certain of success, playing the safest game.

Without absolute confidence, how could he risk his own life?

Just yesterday, he had used the 【Star Concealing Radiance】 to hide his presence and, leveraging his rank-six formation master skills, had secretly modified the Sword Formation of the Upper Profound Sword Sect.

”Since I came here, it means this place is perfectly safe.”

Lu Yang smiled calmly and added, ”And since I said I’d massacre the sect and exterminate the clan, of course, I had already completed the job.”

”Coming up the mountain today was just to wrap things up.”

”After all, your sect does have one troublesome person.”

Before Lu Yang finished speaking—

”Clang! Clang!”

A clear sword cry echoed from the belly of Profound Sword Mountain.

It started as faint as a mosquito’s hum but soon resounded throughout the entire mountain.

Immediately after, a tall middle-aged man in a Taoist robe appeared above Profound Sword Mountain.

At a glance, his sword-like eyebrows were set deep into his brow, his expression firm.

With a wave of his hand, he released thousands of sword lights to protect all the disciples.

Only then did he turn to look at Lu Yang at the foot of the mountain.

Their gazes met at that moment.

In the next second, sword light flared!

”Swish——!”

Without a word, a sword light shot directly along the line of their sight toward Lu Yang.

Almost simultaneously, divine brilliance emerged on Lu Yang’s body.

However, the sword light that the middle-aged man had released suddenly missed its mark, veering tens of thousands of meters off course.

Instead of striking Lu Yang, it landed hundreds of meters to Lu Yang’s left in the forest, cutting down numerous trees but leaving Lu Yang, standing with his hands behind his back, completely unharmed.

”.Hmm?”

Seeing this, the Upper Profound True Person narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yang with a hint of surprise.

”You actually managed to evade my sword intent lock?”

His sword intent directly severed karma.

Ordinary means could not evade it.

Even those of the same cultivation realm, in theory, could only choose to take it head-on.

Yet Lu Yang had managed to avoid it, proving that his divine ability was extraordinary.

”Sword intent… how impressive.”

Lu Yang sighed and said, ”I heard that you obtained the inheritance of the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion.”

”You must have one or two of their secret sword techniques on you, right?”

”What, you want them?”

The Upper Profound True Person remained calm, his eyes seemingly capable of dissecting Lu Yang.

”Your divine ability is powerful, but there is a trace of discordance within you.”

”If I’m not mistaken, this divine ability comes from an external source.”

”Your cultivation should not have reached mid-stage perfection yet, but rather, like the court’s 【official positions】, it is merely a temporary boost with an unstable foundation.”

”In the end, you’re nothing more than a paper tiger.”

As he spoke, the Upper Profound True Personʼs sword intent began to intensify.

The familiar needle-like pain made Lu Yang narrow his eyes.

”I’ve seen another impressive sword cultivator, and you’re about the same as him.”

Lu Yang was naturally referring to Ye Xingfeng.

To this day, Ye Xingfeng was the only one Lu Yang had ever seen who could, at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, defeat someone at the mid Foundation Establishment perfection stage—a feat known as surpassing levels.

Though not a leap across major realms, it still reflected the difference between one innate divine ability and two, showcasing Ye Xingfengʼs incredible strength.

Compared to that, while the Upper Profound True Person fell short in terms of spirit treasure, Dao foundation, and divine abilities, he had already reached mid-stage perfection.

With a higher cultivation realm, he could compensate for all shortcomings.

‘To be fair, with my current strength, if I were to fight him, I’d at best have a fifty-fifty chance.’

‘Moreover, I wouldn’t be able to stop him from escaping or calling for reinforcements.’

Fortunately, Lu Yang had come prepared.

With this thought, Lu Yang immediately formed a hand seal.

Almost simultaneously, the Upper Profound True Person merged with his sword light and slashed toward Lu Yang’s head from a distance.

”Boom!”

A loud explosion rang out.

The 【Hundredfold Peril-Subduing Profound Cloak】 activated once again, leaving Lu Yang unharmed.

His hand-sealing motion didn’t pause as a divine brilliance gathered at his fingertips.

What began as a mere spark quickly spread like wildfire, merging with the great formation of Profound Sword Mountain, which Lu Yang already controlled.

In an instant, the entire sacred mountain was sealed off, trapping the Upper Profound True Person, the Profound Gold and Profound Silver Sword Masters, and all the Sword Sect disciples within the formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

During this time, the Upper Profound True Person did not stop attacking.

He unleashed three more sword strikes, all of which Lu Yang withstood using the mysterious power of the 【Hundredfold Peril-Subduing Profound Cloak】.

”So that’s it… It’s not about power, but about the number of times it can be used.”

The Upper Profound True Person had cultivated for hundreds of years and had rich combat experience.

Though he had only struck three times, he had already grasped the properties of this spirit treasure and immediately changed his tactics.

The next second, he unleashed over ten thousand sword lights!

Each sword light was less powerful than before, but by striking all at once, he could still break through the 【Hundredfold Peril-Subduing Profound Cloak】 and injure Lu Yang’s true body!

However, at that moment, Lu Yang made his move.

”True Person Yinshan, attack the Execution Dragon Pass.”

”Use the foul blood energy to temporarily weaken its formation power, allowing me to shift the void slightly on this side…”

Before his words finished, divine abilities burst forth!

【Fixing Proximity and Distance】! 【Great Art of Commanding Mountains to Move】!

”I invite you all to take a trip to Jiangbei!”

Lu Yang let out a loud laugh as the radiance blooming from his fingertips filled the vision of everyone present, swallowing them all.

When the light dissipated, the Upper Profound True Person stood frozen in place.

The surroundings had changed.

Profound Sword Mountain was still there.

However, it was no longer surrounded by dense forests but by a flat plain.

On that plain, one terrifying aura after another surged into the sky.

At the forefront stood a man in black robes with a gloomy expression.

It was none other than True Person Yinshan!

Besides him, Han Xiang and Yu Chan followed closely, along with numerous other Foundation Establishment True Persons summoned by the Sacred Sect for this battle, numbering more than ten!

Yet all these True Persons wore shocked expressions as they stared incredulously at Lu Yang, standing with his hands behind his back.

Especially Han Xiang and Yu Chan.

Only now did they understand why Lu Yang hadn’t appeared at Execution Dragon Pass just now.

They had thought he had merely gone to launch a sneak attack on the Upper Profound Sword Sect.

Who could have imagined that he had brought the entire Profound Sword Mountain here!

”What are you all still standing there for?”

In the next second, Lu Yang’s eerie voice echoed.

”We, the heretical path, are we still going to talk about righteousness with these sword cultivators of the orthodox path? Charge with me!”

Take turns on him!

”Wait, there’s been a misunderstanding—”

Before the Upper Profound True Person could finish his sentence, more than ten Foundation Establishment True Persons simultaneously unleashed their spirit treasures and divine abilities.

Countless dazzling attacks swallowed him whole!

Compared to honorable one-on-one combat, this was the true style of the Sacred Sect.

So what if you’re at mid Foundation Establishment perfection?

If bullying the weak doesn’t work, then bully you with numbers!

As long as the difference isn’t insurmountable, sheer numbers can bury you to death!
