Chapter 781: Getting Closer
At this point, Hou Muran didn’t say much more. He simply handed a formation stone to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun held the formation stone and said, "Brother Hou, your plan is good, but just to be safe, whether I succeed or not, when I leave, you should find a chance to escape. If I happen to succeed, we will meet back at the Blood Tower on the ninth floor!"
This method was already very risky, with a high chance of failure. Even if they succeeded, Jiang Yun was worried that Hou Muran’s Illusion Array might not hold Yue Qing for three days. Therefore, he decided that they should split up to avoid putting Hou Muran in danger.
Hou Muran understood Jiang Yun’s meaning and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
"*Rumble!*"
With a loud noise that shook the entire world, the ground for miles around the formation cracked and crumbled as if it had been trampled by a monster.
On the thousands of scattered stones forming the formation, countless cracks appeared and trembled wildly.
The formation was about to be broken!
Jiang Yun’s eyes showed determination. Holding a formation stone in one hand, he quickly made several handprints with his other hand and slapped the sky heavily.
Suddenly, a mighty force like the sea descended from the sky, covering Jiang Yun’s body in an instant, making his clothes and hair move without wind.
Especially his hair, which visibly turned red at a fast speed, while his vitality rapidly decreased.
As his vitality decreased, the aura emanating from him rose in a frenzy.
Three bodies as one, The Anger of Seven Emotions, perform the Fourth Sacrifice!
In order to withstand Yue Qing’s attack and trap him in the Illusion Array, Jiang Yun unleashed all his strength to the extreme!
Since reaching the fifth realm of Dao Spirit cultivation and nurturing the ghostly Dao Spirit, freeing his soul’s shackles and feeling the existence of his soul, Jiang Yun’s life force and vitality greatly amplified, allowing him to use vitality as a sacrifice for the Fourth Sacrifice.
Observing the changes in Jiang Yun’s aura, Hou Muran looked shocked.
Although Jiang Yun’s displayed cultivation realm is only the fifth level of Dao Spirit, Hou Muran knows that Jiang Yun’s true strength is definitely greater.
And now it has been confirmed that Jiang Yun’s aura is as strong as before, reaching the early stage of the Sky Blessed Realm!
There was no expression on Jiang Yun’s face, only the influence of The Anger of Seven Emotions, making his blood-red eyes seem to be burning with flames.
Turning his head, Jiang Yun bowed to Hou Muran and said, "Brother Hou, farewell!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yun dashed out of the formation, intending to distract Yue Qing and give Hou Muran a chance to escape.
"Boom!"
At the moment Jiang Yun stepped out of the formation, all the scattered stones within the formation finally crumbled into dust.
"You finally came out!"
Before him, Yue Qing’s face was frosty, his eyes coldly staring at Jiang Yun.
Although Yue Qing appeared calm, he was shaken inside because of Jiang Yun’s strength that was comparable to the early stage of the Sky Blessed Realm.
Even though he knew that Jiang Yun had used secret magic, he could still clearly see that Jiang Yun’s power had greatly improved compared to four years ago.
Four years ago, when he met Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun had just entered the Tao Spiritual Realm.
If he knew that in four years, Jiang Yun had actually advanced four levels in the Tao Spiritual Realm, he would probably be really surprised.
Any talented being, after entering the Tao Spiritual Realm and stepping into the gateway of enlightenment, requires time for their cultivation to grow and accumulate.
Not to mention four years, very few people can even advance four levels in forty years.
"Yue Qing!"
Jiang Yun looked at Yue Qing, who was three zhang away from him, and coldly called out his name. Then, with a flicker of his body, he actually rushed towards Yue Qing on his own initiative.
Jiang Yun also harbored great hatred towards Yue Qing, stemming from Hai Changsheng’s downfall.
At this moment, he was even more aware that instead of waiting for Yue Qing to attack him, it was better for him to take the initiative to attack and close the distance between them.
Just as Jiang Yun rushed out, Hou Muran also appeared behind him, gritting his teeth and dashing off in another direction.
He really wanted to stay and help Jiang Yun, but he knew that staying would only be a burden.
Yue Qing’s initial shock gradually faded, even though he was greatly surprised by Jiang Yun’s increasing strength, he still knew he couldn’t match him.
As for the fleeing Hou Muran, he completely ignored him, not even bothering to chase after him.
With a sneer, Yue Qing raised his hand and with a light wave, the distance between him and Jiang Yun, which was only a few yards, suddenly expanded.
It was like an invisible hand stretching out the space, causing Jiang Yun to be unable to cross the distance despite his fast speed.
Just as Jiang Yun suspected, Yue Qing was well-prepared for the powerful tricks Jiang Yun had up his sleeve.
Especially the mysterious Soul-Locking Incense made Yue Qing ensure that Jiang Yun could not get near him.
As the distance between the two increased, Yue Qing raised his hand again and struck into the void.
"Click click click!"
There was a sound of cracking, and the stretched space under Yue Qing’s punch suddenly cracked open, revealing numerous black cracks like meandering snakes of various sizes.
What made it even more strange was that within these black cracks, there were shining white ice crystals, freezing the cracks and preventing them from closing, continuously spreading towards Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun’s charging body felt a strong resistance the moment these cracks appeared.
If he didn’t have a strength comparable to the early stage of the Sky Blessed Realm at this moment, just this resistance alone would make it impossible for him to move.
Even so, he had to slow down his speed.
Seeing the distance between himself and Yue Qing growing farther and farther, Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and also extended his hand, pointing a finger out.
Taoist spell, Love and Separation Pain!
With a finger, Jiang Yun cut back the distance between himself and Yue Qing to three feet away.
Soon after, the five Dao Spirits and nine Grand Realms within Jiang Yun’s body all activated wildly, every ounce of power within his body unleashed with full force as he pushed forward.
With that push, Jiang Yun unexpectedly surged forward by ten feet, leaving only a distance of two feet between him and Yue Qing.
According to Hou Muran, once the distance between them reached two feet, he could crush the formation stone by himself!
Watching Jiang Yun closing in, Yue Qing remained cold-faced and pointed a finger at him.
"*Bang!*"
Yue Qing’s finger touched Jiang Yun’s body, causing him to tremble violently and cough up a mouthful of blood.
Despite this, Jiang Yun didn’t step back but actually stepped forward again.
"*Bang!*"
As he stepped down, there was a heavy sound, causing several cracks to appear on the ground, and reducing the distance between him and Yue Qing to half a foot.
At that moment, Jiang Yun felt like he was back on Against-Demon Bridge, facing immense pressure to cross it.
"It seems like you really want to be close to me!"
Yue Qing could not overlook Jiang Yun’s determination to approach him, even if he was injured.
Yue Qing’s face showed a mocking expression as he said, "Jiang Yun, do you still want to use your incense to trap my soul? Or use your whip to break my Dao Spirit?"
"Do you think I will give you that chance?"
