The next moment, Chang Xin opened her eyes and stared fixedly at Xu Fu, her eyes full of killing intent.
"If you keep looking, I’ll gouge out your eyes."
Xu Fu shrugged helplessly and said, "Senior, there’s nothing I can do. You see, you’re bound in a spread-eagle by the Spirit Light Chain in midair. Every time I open my eyes, I see your lovely figure first thing, there’s nothing I can do about it."
This bickering had happened more than once or twice. After Lu Ren’s Inner Realm fully suppressed both sides’ powers, Chang Xin couldn’t even use her strength to beat them up, and Xu Fu began to act indifferent.
Subodhi played the good guy, appearing kind and harmonious, completely unlike the slaughtering image of the Demon Buddha from reality, as if he truly expelled negative energy, leaving only the virtues of goodness and beauty in his body.
"Okay, okay, stop it. Let’s just see how Fellow Taoist Lu will handle this."
"How will he handle it, huh..."
Chen Xuzi was about to make a sarcastic remark but suddenly shut his mouth tight; he realized his guesses were always wrong.
Furthermore, Lu Ren’s strength was incredibly monstrous. The opponent showed no adjustment period when promoting to a new realm; he adapted seamlessly as if he’d undergone countless years of arduous cultivation, wielding martial techniques with instinctive ease, naturally effortless.
It was truly a work of the gods.
Putting aside the bickering of the elderly in Lu Ren’s Inner Realm, the middle-aged man saw Lu Ren tightly gripping Qian’er’s neck with his left hand, diffusing a faint golden glow of the Ten Earth True Qi into her body, sealing her major acupoints, firmly locking the True Qi inside her.

The man was about to speak when his gaze shifted, suddenly noticing Guo Muyang standing next to Lu Ren. His expression froze for a moment, then his eyes shot a brilliant light like a golden pillar, illuminating the surroundings several degrees brighter, even dimming the burning buildings of the Taihang Sword Sect nearby.
"A Pure Yang Dao Body?!"
The man’s face showed excitement and greed: "It’s actually a Pure Yang Dao Body, a Pure Yang Dao Body!!! I never thought in my lifetime I’d encounter the existence of a Pure Yang Dao Body! Heaven has truly favored me, Chen Yi indeed has the makings of an Immortal Human!!"
At this moment, Chen Yi didn’t even spare a glance at Qian’er, whom Lu Ren was holding. His gaze was firmly fixed on Guo Muyang.
Guo Muyang felt uneasy under that devouring gaze; she’d seen this look for the second time recently.
Whenever someone revealed that she was a Pure Yang Dao Body, endless greed filled their faces.
Guo Muyang shrank her head and hid behind Lu Ren.
Once Guo Muyang was out of sight, Chen Yi turned to Lu Ren with a frown, his gaze glancing coldly at Qian’er. This woman now knew of the Pure Yang Dao Body’s existence, making her situation tricky, but in the face of the Dao Body, these issues were irrelevant.
When Qian’er saw Chen Yi’s cold glance, her hopeful expression turned to despair in an instant, her face becoming deathly pale.
She gave a bitter laugh but said no more, evidently well aware of her fate.
After all, to cultivate to this realm, no one was a fool. If someone else discovered a Pure Yang Dao Body besides herself, she’d also mercilessly eliminate them without hesitation.
Even her closest friends, Qian’er would certainly be ruthless.
This object, capable of transforming into the Dao, with a Pure Yang Dao Body, offered a clear path toward Seeking Truth and even the long-lost Human Immortal Certificate of legend.
Qian’er knew exactly what Chen Yi wanted; moreover, her life was now in Lu Ren’s hands.
This guy surprisingly followed the system’s path; his body’s hardness made her momentarily think Lu Ren was of the Demon Race.
Looking at Lu Ren, Chen Yi said calmly, "If you hand over that little girl to me, I can spare your life and might even be compassionate enough to take you as a disciple."
Lu Ren glanced at Guo Muyang behind him.
"Seems like you’re quite desirable, everyone wants a piece of you."
Guo Muyang was full of displeasure.
"These people are truly terrifying. I think it’s better to be alone."
In Lu Ren’s mind, a vague suspicion formed. Previously, when Guo Muyang was alone, she often saw sword cultivators from the Taihang Sword Sect flying from deep within the Taihang Mountain Range. There was no reason they wouldn’t detect Guo Muyang’s Pure Yang Constitution.
It seems like adjusting Guo Muyang’s fist technique stirred her body’s hidden potential, triggering her aura to become visible.
Even Lu Ren, just slightly focusing his Spirit, could sense the pure yang aura emanating from Guo Muyang.
This aura constantly strengthened her physique, enhancing her spiritual power.
This power seemed so pure that even Lu Ren thought it could dramatically boost the efficacy of an elixir when used as an ingredient.
Seeing Lu Ren not responding to him, Chen Yi’s face filled with displeasure, so he decided not to speak further. He raised his hands, throwing dozens of jade-colored small swords from his wide sleeves.
Lu Ren saw clearly there were forty-nine of these jade-colored small swords, symbolizing the heavenly number.
Trying to form a Sword Array?
Lu Ren’s gaze deepened, his left hand exerting slight force.
Crack, the Ten Earth True Qi surged fiercely, the supreme yang and firm with vast and righteous qi instantly shattered Qian’er’s head.
Her fleeing Divine Soul had no chance to act before being repeatedly crushed by Lu Ren’s fierce and formidable spiritual power.
"Ding, you have successfully killed Li Qian, life feature judgment in progress... absorption completed."
Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, surprised there was no skill point reward prompt?
Instinctively glancing at the attribute panel in his mind, he discovered a faint progress bar below the skill points.
It seems that only when the progress bar is full can you gain 1 skill point.
When was this progress bar added?
Thoughts overturned in his mind, Lu Ren didn’t turn his head but told Guo Muyang, "Run far away."
Hearing this, Guo Muyang, without the slightest hesitation, immediately turned and ran. Her agile movements made her like a cheetah, disappearing from the central hall plaza within moments, then vanishing from Chen Yi’s sight.
However, as Chen Yi was about to pursue, he suddenly heard a sword sound rise like a dragon’s roar; at that moment, extreme terrifying power erupted, and a silver sword light shot to the sky like a swimming dragon.
Chen Yi saw Lu Ren wielding his longsword like an arrow shot from a bowstring, flying out like lightning, shattering one of the jade-colored small swords he had thrown.
This indeed made Chen Yi extremely furious; his mind was on fire, and powerful spiritual power, distorting in its extremity, formed a shadow of flame above his head.
He was truly provoked.
Chen Yi pointed trembling fingers at Lu Ren.
"You, you damn bastard, how could you be so immoral!!!"
Lu Ren inquired in surprise, "Don’t you practice turn-based combat?"
As he spoke, Lu Ren took a large step forward, his powerful force instantly stomping a small pit in the ground as he broke the sound barrier, appearing before Chen Yi in no time.
On Chen Yi’s face, there was no time for emotional change; his pupils sharply enlarged, fixedly staring at Lu Ren.
Although his physical action couldn’t match Lu Ren’s speed, as a top expert in the Seeking Truth Realm, his Divine Thought Super Sensing allowed his thinking to accelerate dozens of times in an instant, entering a super sensing state unimaginable to ordinary people, adapting to higher realm attacks with greater frequency.
However, this activation still required a process, and for Lu Ren, who disregarded proper martial ethics, it caught Chen Yi somewhat off guard.
Despite trailing by a major realm in strength, Lu Ren’s displayed power seemed to defy logic, leaving Chen Yi unprepared.
Lu Ren’s fist landed, bringing forth a strand of cold cyan light on the surface of Chen Yi, causing Lu Ren to sigh inwardly.
People who specialize in Qi Cultivation are truly troublesome, always carrying various protective items. With Chen Yi’s status, it is likely he possesses quite a few of such shields.
