Dao Lord Shanhai, Remember This Well! Today, Lu Changsheng of the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect Takes Your Life!

"I lost..." Zhang Changtian said dazedly. He still seemed unable to believe it. Yet this was the undeniable truth! Even though he possessed three laws and had even fused them into a compound divine technique, in the end, he had still lost. And he had been defeated thoroughly and convincingly. He looked up at Lu Changsheng with mixed emotions. The Flame Law and the Wind Law did not bother him that much. However, there was also an extraordinarily rare Spiritual Law, which was simply lethal. "Spiritual Millstone, a peak spiritual divine technique—and at the perfection realm, no less." "And Windfire Purgatory, a compound divine technique combining two laws, also at perfection..." Zhang Changtian took a deep breath. His defeat was entirely justified! A perfected Spiritual Millstone coupled with the perfected compound divine technique Windfire Purgatory. How could he possibly withstand that? Not just him—Zhang Changtian could not imagine anyone, whether Zhao Qiaoshan, Ouyang Mo, or any other peak Dao Foundation expert of the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect, being able to block such a combination of attacks. "Thank you for showing mercy, Fellow Daoist Lu." Zhang Changtian bowed respectfully in gratitude. Although it had only been a spar, if Lu Changsheng had truly refused to hold back, Zhang Changtian would have suffered severe consequences. In fact, had they been anywhere else in a true life-and-death struggle, he would likely be dead by now. "It was merely a spar," Lu Changsheng replied calmly. Then, he turned his gaze toward Zhao Qiaoshan and Ouyang Mo, asking, "Do you two fellow daoists wish to offer any pointers?" "No. Since Fellow Daoist Lu could defeat Zhang Changtian, you can naturally defeat us as well. There is no need for a spar." The two hurried to shake their heads and make their stance clear. If it had only been Zhang Changtian earlier, they had intended to compete for the chance. Zhang Changtian might have been slightly stronger than them, but not by enough to convince them to step down. However, having witnessed the battle between Lu Changsheng and Zhang Changtian, they knew very well that Lu Changsheng was not just slightly stronger than them—he could crush them! Compete against Lu Changsheng? They stood no chance whatsoever and had to yield. "Fellow Daoist Wang, what do you think?" Lu Changsheng turned his gaze to Wang Yun. His ultimate objective remained the five drops of heavenly demon essence blood in Wang Yun's hands. He needed her approval. "Good!" "Fellow Daoist Lu, it shall be you." "As long as you can slay Dao Lord Shanhai, I will offer all five drops of heavenly demon essence blood with both hands!" Wang Yun made her decision decisively without hesitation. Lu Changsheng's strength showed her hope of slaying Dao Lord Shanhai. Especially his spiritual divine technique—such techniques were far too rare. Furthermore, in actual combat, a peak spiritual divine technique at the perfection realm had an astounding effect. With the slightest lapse in vigilance, Dao Lord Shanhai might truly fall by Lu Changsheng's hand. "Very well. How about we agree upon a deadline?" "Within one year, I will definitely make my move and do everything in my power to slay Dao Lord Shanhai." "If I fail to kill Dao Lord Shanhai within a year, Fellow Daoist Wang may look for someone else." "However, as a prerequisite, Fellow Daoist Wang must pay one drop of heavenly demon essence blood as a deposit to demonstrate your sincerity!" Having spoken, Lu Changsheng stood quietly, waiting for Wang Yun's response. "Making your move within a year is fine." "But one drop of heavenly demon essence blood as a deposit..." Wang Yun hesitated slightly. After all, a single drop of heavenly demon essence blood was extraordinarily precious. Yet she thought of Lu Changsheng's stature. How could such an exceptionally young, peerless talent ruin his own reputation for a mere drop of heavenly demon essence blood? Besides, there was still Zhao Yuanshan! Zhao Yuanshan had introduced him. If something went wrong, no matter how Zhao Yuanshan tried to argue, Wang Yun would hold him responsible. Thinking of this, Wang Yun no longer hesitated. "Then it is a deal!" "Within one year, Fellow Daoist Lu will strike to slay Dao Lord Shanhai. If you fail to kill him, Fellow Daoist Lu must return the drop of heavenly demon essence blood." "This drop will serve as the deposit." With a wave of Wang Yun's hand, a pure white porcelain bottle flew into Lu Changsheng's grasp. Lu Changsheng opened it to inspect it. Indeed, it was a drop of heavenly demon essence blood. Moreover, it appeared to be wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood. It happened to be just what Lu Changsheng needed. "Fellow Daoist Wang, farewell." Storing away the wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood, Lu Changsheng took his leave and departed Wang Yun's cave dwelling alongside Zhao Yuanshan. After leaving the cave dwelling, Lu Changsheng smiled and said to Zhao Yuanshan, "Brother Zhao, I still have a drop of Wind-Winged Heavenly Demon essence blood here. I would like to trade it for a drop of wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood. What do you say?" "A trivial matter." Zhao Yuanshan was quite generous with Lu Changsheng and agreed almost without thinking. Then, Zhao Yuanshan directly retrieved a drop of wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood and tossed it to Lu Changsheng. Lu Changsheng examined it. Indeed, it was different from the wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood Wang Yun had given him. It could be used to comprehend the Wood Law. "Brother Lu, although you are powerful, I must still remind you: Dao Lord Shanhai is very formidable. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will emerge victorious in a hundred battles. You must proceed with caution and make thorough preparations." "After all, a Foundation Establishment Dao Lord's strength lies primarily in their magic treasures and formations. Magic treasures in particular—no one knows whether Dao Lord Shanhai has even more powerful magic treasures hidden away." "Back then, Lu Zhenkong and Wang Yun suffered a bitter loss because of that. Who could have known Dao Lord Shanhai possessed a magic treasure called the Heavenly Mountain Seal, so devastating that it blasted Lu Zhenkong to death with a single strike?" Zhao Yuanshan said in a solemn tone. He did not want Lu Changsheng to die just like that. After all, if Lu Changsheng died, the drop of heavenly demon essence blood he owed Zhao Yuanshan would never be repaid. "I understand Brother Zhao's reminder. I will certainly make proper preparations before taking action." Lu Changsheng nodded, watching Zhao Yuanshan take his leave. Afterward, Lu Changsheng returned to his cave dwelling. Inside, he took out the two drops of wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood. "Two drops of wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood should be enough to comprehend the Wood Law." "Once I master the Wood Law, I will go to the Divine Technique Hall to find a peak compound divine technique incorporating three laws and cultivate it to perfection." "One year should be plenty of time." Lu Changsheng murmured softly under his breath. He had long formulated a plan. Dao Lord Shanhai was definitely no pushover. How could anyone capable of killing Lu Zhenkong be ordinary? Even though Lu Changsheng possessed the Spiritual Law and even the perfected Spiritual Millstone divine technique, he still had no absolute certainty of slaying Dao Lord Shanhai. However, if he possessed a peak compound divine technique of three laws, his combat strength would undoubtedly skyrocket. When that time came, his odds of success would be far greater. Lu Changsheng never underestimated any opponent. Especially not a Foundation Establishment Dao Lord, whose endless bag of tricks was impossible to predict. Therefore, thorough preparations were essential. Lu Changsheng had insisted on securing a drop of heavenly demon essence blood precisely so he could comprehend another law and enhance his strength. Closing his eyes, Lu Changsheng began to comprehend the two drops of wood-attributed heavenly demon essence blood. One day, two days... Lu Changsheng comprehended for two days. *Boom!* A rumble echoed through Lu Changsheng's brain domain. Immediately following that, a brand-new Wood Law manifested within his brain domain, radiating azure light. "It worked. The Wood Law!" Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, a smile gracing his face. Now that he had comprehended the Wood Law, he possessed four laws in total: Flame Law, Wind Law, Spiritual Law, and Wood Law. Four great laws at his command. Relying on laws alone, Lu Changsheng already stood at the pinnacle of the third layer of the Ancient Region. In general, most Dao Foundation martial artists struggled to comprehend even a single law. Those who managed to comprehend laws usually possessed one or two. Those who commanded three laws were exceedingly rare. As for four laws, every single one of them was an apex Dao Foundation expert without exception. And Lu Changsheng now mastered four. However, this was still not enough! To guarantee Dao Lord Shanhai's death, relying on four laws alone still carried risk. He still needed to cultivate a divine technique—and a peak compound divine technique encompassing three laws! Lu Changsheng rose and headed directly for the Divine Technique Hall. The compound divine technique he was looking for needed to incorporate the Wind Law, the Flame Law, and the Wood Law. In fact, Lu Changsheng had his reasons for this choice. Wind fed fire. Likewise, among the five elements, wood generated fire. A compound divine technique created from the Flame Law, Wind Law, and Wood Law would surely possess terrifying power. These three laws were completely mutually reinforcing. Sure enough, when Lu Changsheng arrived at the Divine Technique Hall, he found quite a few compound divine techniques combining these three laws. These were, after all, three-law compound divine techniques. Under normal circumstances, the more laws involved, the greater the might of the compound divine technique. That was beyond doubt. Moreover, the more laws involved, the harder it was to create such a divine technique. Yet he had not expected there to be so many techniques fusing these three laws. This was also because these three laws were relatively common and mutually reinforcing. Many people had comprehended them, leading to the creation of numerous techniques. Lu Changsheng browsed through them one by one. Naturally, he wanted to select the absolute best. After about two shichen, Lu Changsheng made his decision. "Divine technique: Flame Stream!" The name of this peak three-law compound divine technique was exceedingly simple—just two ordinary words. Yet according to its description, its power was truly earth-shattering. It drove the Wind Law and Wood Law to their limits, transforming them into flame energy. Further driven by the Flame Law, it would erupt with horrifying flames. Truly burning everything, annihilating everything, destroying everything! However, a compound divine technique containing three laws was exceptionally difficult to cultivate. Even crossing the threshold was a daunting challenge. Many Dao Foundation experts spent over a decade just to cross the threshold. As for reaching perfection? To date, the records showed that no more than ten Dao Foundation martial artists had ever cultivated this peak divine technique, Flame Stream, to perfection! How difficult was that? One had to know that Flame Stream had been created an immensely long time ago—well over ten thousand years. In ten thousand years, fewer than ten individuals had perfected Flame Stream. This showed just how formidable this divine technique was. Yet Lu Changsheng was never afraid of a technique being difficult to cultivate; he only feared it would not be powerful enough. Flame Stream clearly met all his criteria. Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng exchanged for Flame Stream and returned directly to his cave dwelling. "Last time, when cultivating the compound divine technique Windfire Purgatory, it took me ten days to cross the threshold and three months to reach perfection. I wonder how long Flame Stream will take?" A thought crossed Lu Changsheng's mind. However, he did not dwell on it. Closing his eyes, the three laws within his brain domain began to clash and recombine according to the method of Flame Stream. One day, three days, five days, ten days... Time passed day by day. This time, Lu Changsheng spent longer than ever before. Eleven days, twelve days, thirteen days, fourteen days... Finally, on the fifteenth day— *Whoosh.* Lu Changsheng opened his eyes. The next moment, his brain domain descended. *Rumble!* Within Lu Changsheng's brain domain, the Wind Law, Flame Law, and Wood Law flashed continuously. At the same time, terrifying flames surged instantly into a boiling fury. Like magma erupting from a volcano, it flooded his entire brain domain. This was Flame Stream! Wherever Flame Stream passed, everything was reduced to ashes. "What terrifying Flame Stream." "This is merely crossing the threshold. If brought to perfection, just how formidable will its power be?" Lu Changsheng felt immense anticipation. Thus, he continued cultivating. However, given that it had taken fifteen days just to cross the threshold, bringing Flame Stream completely to perfection would clearly be no easy feat. Time trickled away. One month, two months, three months, four months, five months... Finally, five months passed. A line of small text suddenly surfaced before Lu Changsheng's eyes: "Divine technique Flame Stream perfected. Comprehension increased by 3,000 points." Lu Changsheng opened his eyes. "Flame Stream is perfected?" He felt momentarily dazed. With a rough estimation, a full five months had elapsed during this seclusion. As expected of a peak compound divine technique of three laws. Cultivating it was indeed arduous. Even with Lu Changsheng's transcendent comprehension, it had taken five whole months. If it were any other Dao Foundation martial artist, even one with high comprehension, reaching perfection would likely be nearly impossible. Whether after several decades, a century, or even several centuries, mastering it would be exceptionally difficult. Having now cultivated several peak divine techniques, including two peak compound divine techniques, Lu Changsheng basically understood the "secret" of divine technique cultivation—or rather, the "essence" of it. The essence of cultivating divine techniques was actually quite simple: it was about recombining and arranging the laws. It required attempt after attempt at recombination and rearrangement. With only one law, recombining and arranging was relatively simple. As long as one's comprehension was not too poor, cultivating a divine technique was generally not a problem. However, with two laws, everything changed. The difficulty of recombining and rearranging multiplied. As for arranging and recombining three laws, the difficulty was simply unimaginable. With every additional law, the difficulty of cultivating a compound divine technique increased exponentially. Lu Changsheng immediately called up his attribute panel to check his status: Host: Lu Changsheng Comprehension: 33,510 (Dragon and Phoenix Among Men) Spiritual Law: 36% (Progress) Flame Law: 34% (Progress) Wind Law: 24% (Progress) Wood Law: 15% (Progress) Flame Stream: Perfection After five months, Lu Changsheng's comprehension had exceeded thirty thousand points. The rate of increase was quite swift. At the very least, Lu Changsheng was very satisfied. If it kept increasing at this rate, his comprehension would reach one hundred thousand points within a few years. At one hundred thousand points, his comprehension would likely undergo another metamorphosis. Next were the progress levels of the four laws. They were all coming along nicely. The Spiritual Law still had some distance to go before reaching one hundred percent perfection. Perfecting a law was extraordinarily difficult. Despite having cultivated compound divine techniques of several laws, many peak Dao Foundation martial artists still had to wait decades to slowly accumulate enough to perfect a single law. No matter how strong Lu Changsheng's comprehension was, it would still take him several years. "Now that Flame Stream is perfected and everything is properly prepared, dealing with Dao Lord Shanhai shouldn't be an issue." "However, I still need one more preparation: a Shift Talisman. In case of failure, I'll need a Shift Talisman just in case." Lu Changsheng planned thoroughly. Even though his current strength was formidable, he still had to account for failure. If he failed, he had to ensure his survival. A Shift Talisman was an indispensable trump card. Foundation Establishment Dao Lords did not possess brain domains. Unless they used a trapping array or magic treasure, they would be unable to stop the teleportation of a Shift Talisman. At a crucial juncture, a Shift Talisman could truly save a life. However, Shift Talismans were extremely expensive. Fortunately, they were traded in the Trading Hall. Apart from heavenly demon essence blood, Lu Changsheng had plenty of good things on him. Trading these items for a Shift Talisman should be no problem. Lu Changsheng headed straight to the Trading Hall. Sure enough, he found a Shift Talisman. Lu Changsheng smoothly exchanged some treasures for one. Putting the Shift Talisman away safely, Lu Changsheng finally felt completely at ease. "Next is Dao Lord Shanhai." "I promised Wang Yun that I would make my move within a year. Now is the time." Lu Changsheng left the Trading Hall and headed straight for Wang Yun's cave dwelling. He was responsible for taking down Dao Lord Shanhai, but Dao Lord Shanhai's whereabouts had to be provided by Wang Yun. Wang Yun was undoubtedly deeply invested and keeping track of Dao Lord Shanhai's movements at all times. Lu Changsheng arrived at Wang Yun's cave dwelling and met her. "Fellow Daoist Wang, I am largely prepared and ready to meet Dao Lord Shanhai." Wang Yun's eyes lit up, a wave of excitement rising in her heart. Lu Changsheng was finally going to take action. She had been waiting for several months. "Fellow Daoist Lu, you must have come to ask about Dao Lord Shanhai's whereabouts, correct?" "Dao Lord Shanhai has been very cautious lately, remaining inside the Ziyang Immortal Sect's outpost the entire time." "The Ziyang Immortal Sect's outpost? That is somewhat troublesome..." Lu Changsheng frowned. Although he had promised Wang Yun he would slay Dao Lord Shanhai, he would not barge into the Ziyang Immortal Sect's outpost to do so. That would be pure suicide. Challenging an entire immortal sect with one's own power? Impossible! Even if Lu Changsheng possessed such strength, he would never do something so reckless. "Fellow Daoist Lu, you need not worry. I will accompany you to the Ziyang Immortal Sect this time." "As long as I appear near the Ziyang Immortal Sect, Dao Lord Shanhai will definitely leave the outpost to strike at me." "I will lure him out to a spot relatively far from the outpost. When that time comes, Fellow Daoist Lu can strike from the shadows and slay Dao Lord Shanhai!" Wang Yun gritted her teeth and spoke in a deep voice. Clearly, she intended to use herself as "bait" to lure Dao Lord Shanhai out. After all, Dao Lord Shanhai knew very well that he had slain Wang Yun's Dao companion, Lu Zhenkong. Leaving Wang Yun alive would always remain a nuisance. Even if Dao Lord Shanhai was powerful and unafraid of trouble, having Wang Yun watching him from the shadows would never be pleasant. Killing Wang Yun would be far better—pulling up the weed by the roots to eliminate the trouble once and for all. However, doing so would undoubtedly place Wang Yun in grave danger. "Fellow Daoist Wang, have you considered that by acting as bait, you might die...?" Lu Changsheng said calmly. "Heh, what is there to fear in death?" "As long as Dao Lord Shanhai can be killed, even my death will be worth it!" "Fellow Daoist Lu, do not worry. Even if I die, as long as you kill Dao Lord Shanhai and return to the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect outpost, you will still receive the remaining four drops of heavenly demon essence blood! I have already made arrangements for this." Wang Yun seemed to understand Lu Changsheng's concern. Heavenly demon essence blood! Lu Changsheng's goal had always been the heavenly demon essence blood. "Very well, let us set off." Lu Changsheng nodded. Since Wang Yun herself did not care, why should he bother dissuading her? He had given the warning he needed to give. Besides, as long as Wang Yun did not stray too far, Lu Changsheng would likely arrive in time to prevent Dao Lord Shanhai from actually killing her. "Let's go." Decisive as ever, Wang Yun rose immediately and soared into the sky with Lu Changsheng, vanishing into the horizon in an instant. The Ziyang Immortal Sect's outpost was a breathtaking scene of immortal grandeur. Colossal peaks spanned across the void, held aloft by formations. Each peak represented a Foundation Establishment Dao Lord! Every mountain was effectively a Dao Lord's place of cultivation. A Foundation Establishment Dao Lord enjoyed a lifespan of five hundred years. They were already considered high-level figures of an immortal sect. If one could take a step further and condense a Golden Core, their lifespan would extend to a thousand years. To survive in the world for a millennium— one could truly be said to look upon eternity! However, going from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core was exceedingly difficult. It was a process of breaking down to rebuild, an extreme ordeal. In theory, advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core was nearly ten times harder than advancing from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment! No matter how brilliant or talented a Dao Lord was, none could guarantee they would successfully form a Golden Core. Yet once a Golden Core was condensed, it was truly a leap to the heavens. *A golden core swallowed into the belly, my fate is governed by me, not the heavens!* At this moment, Dao Lord Shanhai was inside his cave dwelling, breathing in spiritual energy and converting it into dharmic power, steadily advancing his cultivation. In fact, Dao Lord Shanhai had already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. He was already contemplating the matter of condensing a Golden Core. Yet condensing a Golden Core required vast preparations. For example, certain precious natural treasures were needed. Likewise, specific pills were indispensable. In terms of divine sense, state of mind, and other aspects, thorough preparations were equally necessary. "Report to Dao Lord: in accordance with your orders, we have observed traces of Wang Yun, a Dao Foundation martial artist of the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect, near the Ziyang Immortal Sect recently." A Qi Refinement disciple reported respectfully. "Wang Yun?" Dao Lord Shanhai opened his eyes. Naturally, he remembered Wang Yun; in fact, she had left a deep impression on him. That woman was a lunatic. A few months ago, he had found a natural treasure that was immensely useful for condensing a Golden Core. Yet Lu Zhenkong and Wang Yun happened to need it as well. Thus, both sides clashed, fighting fiercely over that natural treasure. Dao Lord Shanhai had always maintained a low profile and acted cautiously. Yet for the sake of condensing a Golden Core, he threw caution to the wind. He unleashed his magic treasure, the Heavenly Mountain Seal. The Heavenly Mountain Seal was immensely powerful; with a single strike, it obliterated Lu Zhenkong. Wang Yun had gone completely mad afterward. Employing techniques that burned her vitality, she had even caused Dao Lord Shanhai to suffer some slight losses. In the end, she had managed to escape. In the third layer of the Ancient Region, skirmishes occurred almost constantly. With Wang Yun escaping, Dao Lord Shanhai had felt a faint lingering unease. She was a lunatic capable of doing anything. Dao Lord Shanhai had ordered people to inquire about Wang Yun and keep a close eye on her movements. Now, several months had passed. And Wang Yun had indeed returned! "Is there anyone beside Wang Yun?" Dao Lord Shanhai asked. "According to our current observations, Wang Yun came alone," the Qi Refinement disciple replied. "Alone?" Dao Lord Shanhai chuckled. "She isn't that foolish. Knowing full well she is no match for me, how could she come alone to throw away her life?" "Mad as that woman is, she is not stupid. If she wants revenge for Lu Zhenkong, she will certainly be prepared." "Wang Yun has likely recruited a Dao Foundation expert whom she believes can slay me. She purposely showed herself near the Ziyang Immortal Sect outpost to lure me out, after which that top Dao Foundation expert she invited will strike and kill me." Dao Lord Shanhai wore a wise, knowing look. "Ah... Dao Lord, perhaps you should remain at the outpost and go nowhere, lest you fall into Wang Yun's trap," the Qi Refinement disciple suggested cautiously. "No, I must go." "Wang Yun knows I view her as a major threat and wish to pull up the weed by the roots, which is why she risked herself to lure me out." "However, Wang Yun's entire reliance is that mysterious expert, believing they can slay me." "Hmph, how could that madwoman possibly know my true strength? The Heavenly Mountain Seal is merely the magic treasure I reveal to outsiders. My greatest strength is actually my formations..." A cold sneer touched the corners of Dao Lord Shanhai's mouth. "I will go meet this mysterious expert Wang Yun recruited and eliminate them together. That way, they won't disturb my state of mind or delay my pursuit of the Golden Core!" With that, Dao Lord Shanhai stepped out of his cave dwelling and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the horizon in an instant. At this moment, Wang Yun was roughly a hundred li away from the Ziyang Immortal Sect's outpost. A hundred li was neither too far nor too close. If Dao Lord Shanhai truly intended to eliminate Wang Yun once and for all, this hundred-li distance would certainly pose no obstacle to him. "This is the place." "Zhenkong, watch closely. Today, I will avenge you! Dao Lord Shanhai must die!" Wang Yun's eyes were filled with hatred. The surrounding area was completely devoid of people. Even Wang Yun could not sense the slightest trace of Lu Changsheng's presence. However, she knew Lu Changsheng had to be lurking nearby, waiting for Dao Lord Shanhai to appear. After waiting for about half a shichen— *Swoosh.* A streak of light suddenly flew across the distant void. Immediately following that, a wave of divine sense locked onto Wang Yun in an instant. *Swish.* Wang Yun opened her eyes. "Dao Lord Shanhai, you came after all!" Gazing at that familiar figure in the void, Wang Yun spoke through gritted teeth. The figure in the streak of light was none other than Dao Lord Shanhai. He glanced in all directions, his gaze cold and sharp as he sneered, "Wang Yun, whom did you bring to die today? Tell them to come out. I will slay you both and end this trouble once and for all!" Having appeared, Dao Lord Shanhai did not bother with pleasantries, speaking straight to the point. "You knew?" Wang Yun's expression changed abruptly, showing some surprise. She had not expected Dao Lord Shanhai to have already guessed she had brought an expert along, yet he still dared to show himself. Was he truly that confident? Or was he well prepared? For a moment, Wang Yun felt apprehensive, her confidence wavering. In truth, Dao Lord Shanhai had already spread his divine sense across the surrounding area. Time and time again. Yet he had detected no sign of any other martial artist. "Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, a voice reached Dao Lord Shanhai's ears. Immediately following that, a figure materialized out of thin air in the void, stepping forward one pace at a time toward Dao Lord Shanhai. "Such concealment..." Dao Lord Shanhai's eyes flickered slightly. Although this person's concealment technique was impressive, so what? "Who are you?" "How dare you help Wang Yun ambush me?" Names flashed through Dao Lord Shanhai's mind one after another. Yet none matched the mysterious martial artist before him. He did not seem to recognize this person at all. "Fellow Daoist Lu, this Dao Lord Shanhai seems prepared..." Wang Yun cautioned. Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, step aside and watch." "Since I gave you my word, I will personally slay Dao Lord Shanhai." "Besides, for experts of Dao Lord Shanhai's level, petty schemes and calculations are completely useless. Only strength can truly determine victory and defeat!" Wang Yun then stepped aside. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Lu Changsheng looked at Dao Lord Shanhai and spoke calmly, word by word: "Dao Lord Shanhai, remember this well! Today, Lu Changsheng of the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect takes your life!" *Boom!* As Lu Changsheng's words fell, his brain domain descended in an instant!
