"Black Dragon Slash!"
Lu Yang shouted and slashed the Black Dragon Token towards the sky. A golden dragon, even more powerful than the black dragon summoned by the Black Dragon Sword, descended from above and attacked Xuanwu King.
"As expected, the cultivation methods of the four great families, when gathered together, can erupt with immense power. However, without the cultivation methods of our Xuanwu family, your technique is incomplete, and you are destined to lose to me!"
"Break!"
Xuanwu King roared and unleashed countless fist energies towards the sky. Each punch struck the golden dragon, yet the dragon continued to roar and attack Xuanwu King.
But as Xuanwu King's fist energies were continuously unleashed, the golden dragon gradually became exhausted. At a distance of only two meters from Xuanwu King, the golden dragon exploded, shattering into dust.
"Lu Yang, your cultivation has become much more refined. Unfortunately, before me, it is still not enough!"
"So, you might as well accept your death!"
As Xuanwu King spoke, he clenched his fist again and smashed towards Lu Yang.
"Is that so? Let me show you the Eighteen Forms of Black Dragon!"
Lu Yang also put away the Black Dragon Token, assumed the starting posture of Tai Chi, and then attacked Xuanwu King. The Eighteen Forms of Black Dragon was his most potent combat technique. After Lu Yang's recent tempering, the Eighteen Forms of Black Dragon had become even more formidable.
Lu Yang used the Eighteen Forms of Black Dragon to engage Xuanwu King's fists, and he was surprisingly at ease, able to counter Xuanwu King's techniques.
"Eighteen Forms of Black Dragon?"
"Is this the inheritance of your Black Dragon King? Truly powerful. However, soon, this technique will be mine!"
Seeing how overbearing the Eighteen Forms of Black Dragon was, Xuanwu King's lips curved slightly. What he desired would not escape his grasp.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the battle between Lu Tianfeng and the Hongmen Ancestor had reached its climax. The Hongmen Ancestor had Lu Tianfeng on the defensive, continuously inflicting damage on his body. If not for the support of the Guiyuan Sword formations earlier, Lu Tianfeng would have already been killed by the Hongmen Ancestor.
However, Lu Tianfeng had been looking for an opportunity, as he had one final trump card he was waiting to deploy at the most opportune moment.
Finally, the Hongmen Ancestor kicked Lu Tianfeng in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Due to the fierce battle with Xuanwu King, Lu Yang was unable to control the Guiyuan Sword formations, and they all fell to the ground.
Seeing that Lu Tianfeng was no match for him, the Hongmen Ancestor sneered, put away his Azure Profound Great Axe, and walked directly towards Lu Tianfeng, intending to finish him off with his bare fists.
"Lu Tianfeng, you can only blame yourself for not having a good son. Your life is mine now!"
The Hongmen Ancestor declared and struck towards Lu Tianfeng's chest with his palm.
However, he did not see Lu Tianfeng resist. Instead, he saw Lu Tianfeng's lips curve into an extremely peculiar smile.
"Not good, it's a trap!"
The Hongmen Ancestor instantly felt a sense of unease and wanted to retract his palm, but it was too late. A small golden insect flew directly onto his palm and then burrowed into the Hongmen Ancestor's body along his hand.
"Ah... What is this?"
The Hongmen Ancestor immediately felt as if his body was being bitten by countless ants and roared in pain.
"This is the Golden Silkworm Gu, the king of all Gu! Enjoy it!"
Lu Tianfeng sneered. Although he was severely injured and might have died if the Hongmen Ancestor's palm had struck his chest just then, Lu Tianfeng intended to exchange his life for the Hongmen Ancestor's.
He hadn't expected the Hongmen Ancestor's danger sense to be so sharp, almost making him fall for the trap. Fortunately, the Golden Silkworm Gu had grown significantly and had already burrowed into the Hongmen Ancestor's body. Within three minutes, the Golden Silkworm Gu had gained control of the Hongmen Ancestor.
Xuanwu King's cultivation was too profound. Lu Yang could cope at the beginning, but as the fight progressed, Xuanwu King's terrifying power began to suppress Lu Yang. Even with Lu Yang's formidable techniques, his cultivation was insufficient, and he was still no match for Xuanwu King.
After more than fifty rounds, Lu Yang was struck in the chest by Xuanwu King's palm and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Die!"
Xuanwu King swung his palm towards Lu Yang. At this critical juncture, the Hongmen Ancestor suddenly appeared before Xuanwu King, exchanged a palm strike with him, and then fell to the ground like a cannonball.
"Hongmen Ancestor, how dare you betray me?"
Xuanwu King was shocked that the Hongmen Ancestor had saved Lu Yang at such a crucial moment and roared in a cold voice.
However, upon seeing the Hongmen Ancestor's dazed eyes, Xuanwu King instantly realized something.
"Hmm? You've actually been controlled by the Golden Silkworm Gu. Interesting. I never thought the Golden Silkworm Gu I casually refined would become your means of survival!"
"But this little thing is nothing before me!"
Xuanwu King sneered and shook his body violently, unleashing a surge of powerful aura. The Golden Silkworm Gu, hidden within the Hongmen Ancestor's body, was instantly frightened and flew out, entering Lu Tianfeng's body.
"Lu Tianfeng, you truly have some tricks. You managed to lure my Golden Silkworm Gu into your body and merge with it. However, today, after you die, I will extract the Golden Silkworm Gu and refine it into a killing weapon. Everyone in your Youdu Prison will die by the hands of the Golden Silkworm Gu!"
Xuanwu King said coldly.
"Hongwu, kill Lu Tianfeng!"
After speaking, Xuanwu King turned his gaze to the Hongmen Ancestor and said in a cold voice.
"Yes!"
The Hongmen Ancestor replied, took out the Azure Profound Great Axe, and swung it directly at Lu Tianfeng.
Just as the Azure Profound Great Axe was about to decapitate Lu Tianfeng, a dark figure suddenly appeared, kicked the Hongmen Ancestor in the chest, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily onto the ground, his life or death uncertain.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
The figure said with a smile as he looked at Lu Tianfeng.
"If you were a few seconds later, I would be dead by now!"
Lu Tianfeng said speechlessly.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die!"
The newcomer was the South Sea Sword Demon. He looked at the others and asked coldly, "Which one is Xuanwu King? Step forward immediately!"
"Such arrogance! I am Xuanwu King!"
Xuanwu King sneered upon seeing the South Sea Sword Demon and replied directly.
