Lu Yang immediately sealed his acupoints with silver needles to stop the bleeding, but the Guiyuan sword swarm once again shot towards him. Lu Yang could only dodge continuously with his body, while the Golden Silkworm Gu eyed him covetously, waiting for an opportunity to strike him down.
"Black Dragon Precious Sword, rise!"
Ten minutes into the fierce battle, Lu Yang had completely depleted the spiritual energy within the Black Dragon Token, and his body's spiritual energy was on the verge of exhaustion.
Relying on the last wisp of his spiritual energy, Lu Yang controlled the Black Dragon Precious Sword and slashed directly at the Guiyuan sword swarm.
With a loud bang, the Guiyuan sword swarm was sent flying back several meters by a single strike from the Black Dragon Precious Sword, all of them falling to the ground, losing their connection with the Five Elements Mountain Men. With this strike, Lu Yang had also used up all his true energy. Now, with his true energy completely depleted, Lu Yang knelt on the ground.
"Hiss!"
The Golden Silkworm Gu found the perfect opportunity, its two small eyes fixed on Lu Yang, and flew directly towards him, intending to burrow into his body.
"This is perhaps fate. I hope my father can achieve a breakthrough at this critical moment. My death is insignificant!"
Lu Yang said faintly, unable to muster even a bit of strength. He could only watch helplessly as the Golden Silkworm Gu burrowed into his mouth.
With a "boom," Lu Tianfeng, who was sitting cross-legged beside Lu Yang, instantly emitted countless golden lights that illuminated the entire sky, turning it golden. The Taihu Lake also shook violently, the spectacle terrifying.
"What's going on? There's golden light flashing over Taihu Lake! Could it be a UFO?"
"I don't know. I've felt that Taihu Lake hasn't been peaceful tonight. I don't know what's there, and now there's flashing golden light. I wonder what happened?"
"Could it be someone setting off fireworks? Or filming a movie?"
"..."
Countless ordinary people who witnessed this scene cried out in excitement.
Meanwhile, the martial artists who saw this scene widened their eyes in disbelief.
"This is... a sign of a breakthrough to the Divine Realm?"
"Someone actually broke through to the Divine Realm?"
"That's right, this is the mark of a breakthrough to the Divine Realm. The radiant light shines for a hundred miles, and the dark night is like day. I never expected that in China, a strong cultivator would break through to the Divine Realm. This is truly China's fortune!"
"..."
Countless martial artists exclaimed excitedly, and some bolder ones had already rushed towards Taihu Lake, wanting to see for themselves.
At this moment, Lu Tianfeng was encased in a golden light shield, and his appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation. Lu Tianfeng's already handsome face became even more radiant and flawless, his hair as black and lustrous as before, with not a single white hair in sight.
"Yang'er, are you alright?"
Lu Tianfeng's breakthrough had blasted the Golden Silkworm Gu away. He then pulled Lu Yang up and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, Father. You've broken through? That's wonderful!"
Lu Yang said excitedly upon seeing his father break through to the Divine Realm.
"Yes, I have broken through!"
Lu Tianfeng said calmly.
"Now, it is the Five Elements Mountain Men's day of reckoning. First, they killed my wife, and now they have severely injured my son. If this vengeance is not repaid, I, Lu Tianfeng, am no man!"
Lu Tianfeng casually summoned the Black Dragon Precious Sword into his hand. Instantly, countless golden lights scattered into the sword, and the small golden dragon within the Black Dragon Precious Sword was directly activated. Lu Yang saw the small golden dragon open its eyes.
As its eyes opened, the entire Black Dragon Precious Sword emitted an aura of supreme terror, filled with golden light and immense majesty.
"This is the true power of the Black Dragon Precious Sword. Only a Divine Realm cultivator of the Lu family can activate the Black Dragon Precious Sword!"
Lu Yang stood aside and exclaimed excitedly.
"Five Elements Mountain Men, come and face your death!"
Lu Tianfeng put away his heaven-shrouding cloak and roared furiously at the Five Elements Mountain Men.
"Heh heh, Lu Tianfeng, do you think you can defeat us just because you've broken through to the Divine Realm? In our eyes, you are nothing but a dead man. Kill him!"
The Five Elements Mountain Men roared, and instantly five figures attacked. Each of them controlled a treasure sword from the Guiyuan sword swarm and launched an assault on Lu Tianfeng.
Lu Tianfeng stood his ground without the slightest panic. Seeing the Five Elements Mountain Men's attack, he directly wielded the Black Dragon Precious Sword. Towering sword qi transformed into five massive dragons, which, along with the mist from Taihu Lake, converged together. They were like five reborn water dragons, pressing down directly on the Five Elements Mountain Men.
With a resounding crash, the five Five Elements Mountain Men collided with the five water dragons. The swords in their hands all dropped to the ground. Their bodies, like kites with broken strings, were sent crashing outwards heavily.
However, these five figures had no physical bodies. Before they could hit the ground, they floated up, unharmed. They clenched their fists once more and lunged at Lu Tianfeng.
"What exactly are these Five Elements Mountain Men? Why are they so powerful without physical bodies?"
Lu Yang wondered in disbelief as he looked at the bodies of the Five Elements Mountain Men.
Lu Tianfeng, wielding the Black Dragon Precious Sword, immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the Five Elements Mountain Men. Lu Yang watched nervously from the side. The fat, worm-like Golden Silkworm Gu once again found an opportunity to attack Lu Yang, but it was blasted away by a sword qi from Lu Tianfeng. The white worm was already scorched, turning into a dark, fleshy grub.
"This damn thing is always ambushing me!"
"Serves it right!"
Lu Yang cursed coldly upon seeing the Golden Silkworm Gu scorched, though it was not dead.
Meanwhile, the battle between Lu Tianfeng and the Five Elements Mountain Men continued. With every strike Lu Tianfeng delivered, he hit the Five Elements Mountain Men, but they seemed to sustain no damage and continued to fight him fiercely.
"If this continues, my father will eventually be exhausted to death by them!"
Lu Yang's eyes filled with worry as he observed the situation.
"Blazing Sun Palm, that's right, use Blazing Sun Palm to deal with them. It will definitely burn them to death!"
Lu Yang suddenly thought of this and immediately shouted to Lu Tianfeng, "Father, use Blazing Sun Palm against these Five Elements Mountain Men!"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Lu Tianfeng's mind was suddenly enlightened. He directly put away the Black Dragon Precious Sword.
Having spent so much time in the Youdu Prison, Lu Tianfeng had mastered countless martial arts. These were learned from his sparring sessions with the great figures imprisoned there, or were directly taught to him by them. After all, Lu Tianfeng's talent was heaven-defying, and some of the powerful figures, moved by his potential, imparted their lifelong knowledge to him. It wasn't just Lu Tianfeng; Lu Yang had also received the teachings of some of the influential figures during his month in Youdu Prison.
Lu Tianfeng's Blazing Sun Palm was immensely powerful. He spread his palms, and instantly two balls of flame ignited on them. He then clapped them towards the Five Elements Mountain Men.
"Flames?"
Seeing the flames on Lu Tianfeng's palms, the Five Elements Mountain Men began to show signs of panic. However, they steeled themselves and continued to fight Lu Tianfeng.
