Chapter 1162: Is the Harem That Large? Die for This Young Master

Meng Jingzhou stretched his neck, ripped off his mask, and exclaimed, "Damn it, after all this waiting, my cultivation has finally fluctuated to the Tribulation Transcension stage!"

Meng Jingzhou unleashed the Heaven-Shaking Eight Forms, a technique of ultimate rigidity and yang, and charged forward with a single stride, delivering a powerful punch. How could Yang Kongtong, a formidable elder, fear a mere junior? He seemed like a descending deity, his palms erupting with brilliant light. As fists and palms collided, space shattered, forming continuous cracks.

The Azure Edge Sword sliced through the void, one sword transforming into ten thousand. Sword energy hung suspended, filling the sky, more numerous than falling snow, sharp and dazzling, soul-stirring, and emanating chilling murderous intent. Countless streams of sword energy rained down, disrupting Yang Kongtong's striking rhythm.

With their first move, the two immediately put Yang Kongtong at a disadvantage!

"Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou!" Yang Kongtong exclaimed, recognizing their identities.

As an ancient cultivator and a renowned master of the current era, he never paid attention to so-called prodigies. But Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were different; they were peerless prodigies capable of breaking through the limits of the Void Refinement stage and carving their names into history. They were worth him gathering information about.

"What? They are Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou?!" "Aren't they at the Soul Transformation stage?" The citizens of Muxue City were utterly shocked. Their knowledge of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou was still stuck at them being at the Soul Transformation stage; they were unaware that the two had cultivated to the unprecedented Void Refinement stage.

"Teacher Lu is Lu Yang!" The most shocked of all were the students of the martial arts hall. They could never have imagined that Teacher Lu, who had always taught them boxing, was Lu Yang, and that the later addition, Teacher Meng, was Meng Jingzhou!

"So it was Senior Lu Yang after all..." Fang Zhige had speculated on Teacher Lu's identity many times. From a certain Nascent Soul grand cultivator to the great sword master Xue Shilou, he had suspected them all. But he had never suspected Lu Yang. That was Lu Yang! He had been trained by the Ghost Slaying Alliance from a young age, undergoing closed-off training, and knew little about the outside world. Yet, even so, he had heard of Lu Yang's prestige during his training; Master Luo and the others would show fear when discussing him. How could such a legendary, distant figure condescend to be a teacher in a small martial arts hall?

"Sect Master, are you alright?" Gatekeeper Xiao Huo, carrying two large doors, approached Grandfather Murong, protecting him. Chaos raged above them, but only holding the doors gave Xiao Huo a sense of security.

"N-nothing, it's just my heart can't take it," Grandfather Murong said, clutching his chest.

Just then, a horse's hoof stretched out, a bottle of Heart-Nourishing Pills stuck to it.

"Very well," Yang Kongtong said coldly, "two juniors whose cultivation merely fluctuates to the mid-Tribulation Transcension stage dare to show off. Truly remarkable indeed."

Lu Yang smiled faintly. "Senior Yang Kongtong, you flatter me."

Yang Kongtong's expression hardened as he stared intently at Lu Yang. "Junior, where did you hear that name from?!" Since his head's revival, he had never told anyone his true name. Even when Leng Ningxiang had been clinging to him just now, she had called him "Brother Yang." Lu Yang was merely a talent cultivated by the insignificant Dao Seeking Sect; how could he know his identity?

"Well," Lu Yang replied, "perhaps the Ice Soul Demonic Witch, the Tianshan Saintess, or Ji Hong told me in a dream. They said you should go accompany them."

"Nonsense!" Yang Kongtong brandished the Ice Soul Great Spear. The spear struck like a dragon, sweeping through thousands of soldiers and horses, incredibly domineering, recreating the might of the ancient Shaohao Spear Art. The city-destroying beast tides unleashed by the Four Great Demon Kings in the past were merely a single spear thrust in his eyes.

The Ice Soul Great Spear pierced towards Lu Yang. Lu Yang used softness to overcome hardness, the tip of his sword parrying the spear's momentum. Immediately after, with Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source, within the Azure Edge Sword's small world, the Shadow-Bearing Sword and the Seven Star Sword formation merged, causing its sword glow to surge by three inches.

Clanging sounds rang out incessantly, and sparks flew. The two moved too fast; at the scene, besides the three Tribulation Transcension cultivators from the two sects, only Old Ma could clearly see the details of their fight.

Yang Kongtong was inwardly startled. The opponent was only at the mid-Tribulation Transcension stage, yet could fight him, a peak Tribulation Transcension cultivator, to a standstill. This level of sword mastery was already no weaker than Liu Ningxuan, who created the Nirvana Sword Art!

"So you have many concubines, huh? Then die for this young master!" Meng Jingzhou strode forward with the majestic steps of a dragon and tiger, treading on empty air, unfurling his Supreme Pure Yang Dharma Idol. The six-armed Dharma Idol resembled a great sun, holding six different magical artifacts, appearing like the legendary Mahavairocana Buddha reincarnated. The Dharma Idol's six arms swept, transforming into streaks of dao light, all smashing down together in anger, emitting an earth-shattering roar. The roar of the Dharma Idol could be heard even in cities a thousand li away.

Pfft— Yang Kongtong was already barely holding his own against Lu Yang. Now, struck by Meng Jingzhou's six arms, his internal organs were directly displaced by the blow. Lu Yang seized the opportunity and thrust out a sword, but Yang Kongtong vanished from his spot, reappearing outside the range of their attacks, a trace of blood appearing on his brow.

"The Free and Easy Steps, huh? What a pity," Lu Yang sighed. If not for the Free and Easy Steps, that sword strike would have pierced Yang Kongtong's brow. "So that means you taught the Free and Easy Steps to the Wanderer, that makes sense. I should have realized it earlier." Lu Yang knew that the Wanderer had a master; it would be too absurd for someone to cultivate to the peak of Soul Transformation and defeat Xue Shilou without any tutelage.

Hearing his disciple's name, Yang Kongtong remained unmoved. The Wanderer was merely his experimental subject, not worth wasting emotion on. He vanished again, employing the Free and Easy Steps. Below, the three Tribulation Transcension cultivators from the two sects leaned against the wall, looking up. Their hearts couldn't help but clench, as their defenses had been breached by the Free and Easy Steps multiple times during their fights, making it impossible to guard against.

"The Free and Easy Steps, simply put, are just about speed. It's not like Grandmaster Han Hai's spatial displacement. Sword Dao Domain!" The Sword Dao Domain, empowered by Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source, possessed unparalleled might. Sharp sword energy filled the entire space; no matter how fast the Free and Easy Steps were, Lu Yang could still sense Yang Kongtong's location through the fluctuations in sword energy.

"There!" Lu Yang brought two fingers together and placed them on his brow, sword light flickering in his eyes. He contracted the Sword Dao Domain, continuously shrinking Yang Kongtong's range of movement.

Yang Kongtong gritted his teeth. This couldn't go on. With a resolute heart, he endured dozens of sword energies closing in and charged out of the Sword Dao Domain.

As soon as he appeared, he heard Meng Jingzhou's voice, as majestic as a mountain, coming from above, reminding him of Ying Tianxian.

"Defying immortal will, violating human ethics, you deserve to be executed!" The Sole Dominion Fist Art reappeared. While his Void Refinement stage cultivation was constantly fluctuating, Meng Jingzhou had continuously studied the Sole Dominion Fist Art, already advancing it to the Two Polarities realm, making it extremely terrifying.

If Yang Kongtong took this punch, he would be crippled even if he didn't die! At this critical moment, Yang Kongtong displayed extreme composure. He unleashed the Tianshan Seal, one of the three ultimate techniques of the Tianshan Holy Land, blocking Meng Jingzhou's line of sight. He advanced the Killing Heart Scripture to its highest realm and simultaneously elevated his Free and Easy Steps to a higher level, moving so fast that he dodged the punch.

"Two juniors, come at me again," Yang Kongtong said indifferently. His aura was completely different from before.

Lu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. Combat also involved psychological warfare; during the fight, he had constantly used words to disturb Yang Kongtong's thoughts, which allowed him to easily exploit Yang Kongtong's weaknesses. How had Yang Kongtong become so calm in the blink of an eye? He was now able to make the most advantageous judgments in the shortest time.

"Proto-Embryo of Seven Emotions, blocking emotions?" Lu Yang guessed. He remembered Immortal Fairy had said that in ancient times, several half-immortals cultivated the Proto-Embryo of Seven Emotions, and Yang Kongtong was one of them.

Yang Kongtong looked at Lu Yang with cold eyes, offering no response.
