Chapter 20: Enemies Meet, Trampled!

“This scum is also here?”

When Yang Dianfeng descended toward Liu Ruyan’s location, Lu Jin’s eyes instantly turned icy cold!

Three years ago, it was this adulterous couple who had framed him in the Demon Abyss!

Back then, Liu Ruyan’s cultivation was meager. If she hadn’t had Yang Dianfeng, the then-Saint of Myriad Sword Sect, backing her, she certainly wouldn’t have had the guts to plot against him!

His hatred for Yang Dianfeng was not a bit less than for Liu Ruyan!

However, when he sensed Yang Dianfeng’s current cultivation, his gaze turned somewhat surprised.

“Fifth-Grade Golden Core Realm? This Scarlet Moon Holy Land is truly much stronger than Myriad Sword Sect!”

Still, he understood that three years ago, Yang Dianfeng was already the Saint of Myriad Sword Sect. His talent was quite formidable. As for his specific physique or what methods he possessed, Lu Jin naturally didn’t know. But rising to the Fifth-Grade Golden Core Realm after three years was within the realm of normalcy.

However, with this guy appearing now, the hope of wiping out the two of them at this moment was likely slim…

Buzz!

Lu Jin instantly retracted all his aura, hiding his figure in the darkness.

Since seeking revenge openly and with great fanfare was a bit risky, he would strike from the shadows!

I was harmed by a sneak attack back then. Now, let’s see how you taste being plotted against!

* * *

“Senior Brother Yang Dianfeng!”

Liu Ruyan looked excitedly at the elegant man descending from the sky, her eyes shimmering.

“Junior Sister Ruyan, congratulations on successfully advancing to the Third-Grade Golden Core!”

Liu Ruyan smiled shyly and leaned toward Yang Dianfeng.

A hint of frivolity appeared in Yang Dianfeng’s eyes.

“Advancing to the Third-Grade Golden Core, there is no suspense at all about you entering the Scarlet Moon Holy Land.”

“However, what is this about that Lu Jin you mentioned in the transmission slip?”

Yang Dianfeng suddenly frowned and asked.

Mentioning Lu Jin, Liu Ruyan’s expression changed:

“Senior Brother Yang, that Lu Jin isn’t dead! Not only is he not dead, but his cultivation is quite bizarre! He clearly has the cultivation of the Spirit Pearl Realm, yet he can fight against the Golden Core Realm! Back in Myriad Sword Sect, with my previous strength, I was almost killed by him!”

“Moreover, my Shizun, with her Sixth-Grade Golden Core cultivation, couldn’t kill him with a single attack!”

Listening to Liu Ruyan, Yang Dianfeng frowned:

“Is there such a thing?”

He was obviously surprised by this, but after a moment of astonishment, he chuckled lightly:

“But so what? Leaving aside that I am now at the Fifth-Grade Golden Core Realm, even with your current strength having advanced to Third-Grade, plus possessing the Supreme Bone which allows you to fight above your level, even if I don’t act, you can destroy him!”

Listening to Yang Dianfeng’s words, Liu Ruyan nodded slightly.

However, her heart wasn’t entirely convinced.

After all, from his appearance until now, Lu Jin had not revealed his specific cultivation level.

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly:

“But Senior Brother, after Lu Jin displayed his powerful means, he was valued by Sect Master Chu Tianxiong, who will surely give him ample cultivation resources to improve his strength further!”

“Soon, the Scarlet Moon Holy Land will begin selecting disciples. Before that, I had already scheduled a life-and-death battle with him. When the time comes, it’s tough to say who will win or lose!”

As Liu Ruyan said this, she suddenly became coquettish.

“Heh, there’s no need to worry about that. Look, what is this?”

After speaking, Yang Dianfeng took out an object emitting white light from his storage ring. Liu Ruyan’s expression changed drastically!

“Is this… a Bone Spirit?”

Yang Dianfeng smiled: “A gift for you.”

Liu Ruyan was overjoyed and immediately took it:

“Thank you, Senior Brother!”

She took the Bone Spirit, her eyes full of covetous desire, wishing she could refine it immediately!

“With this Bone Spirit, my Supreme Bone can completely merge with my flesh and blood body, and there will never be any rejection again!”

“And when that happens, my cultivation speed will definitely be faster, and I will surely be able to catch up with Senior Brother’s footsteps!”

Seeing Liu Ruyan’s excitement, Yang Dianfeng smiled wickedly:

“Then, how do you plan to repay me?”

Liu Ruyan’s pretty face blushed:

“Whatever Senior Brother says for repayment, I will do…”

Yang Dianfeng smiled charmingly, reaching out to hold her willow-thin waist. “Since Junior Sister says so, let’s go have some fun!”

“Have fun with your ancestors!”

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a thunderous boom rang out, without warning.

Following it, a terrifying attack swept over them, swift as lightning, causing the two to turn pale with fright!

“Together!”

Boom!!!

The two immediately counterattacked; dodging was simply impossible!

Spiritual Energy erupted, shining with a huge, brilliant bolt of lightning. In the dim night, the demon beasts that had been roaring moments ago instantly fell silent!

The storm was coming!

Pfft!

When the roar passed, even though the two had joined forces to counterattack, Liu Ruyan still spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Yang Dianfeng was the same; his aura instantly withered significantly!

The sneak attack was very successful!

Lu Jin flashed into view:

“You two, what a coincidence.”

He crossed his arms, staring fixedly at the two with a playful look in his eyes.

“Lu… Lu Jin? It’s actually you!”

“You dare sneak attack me!”

Yang Dianfeng gritted his teeth, his eyes full of disbelief!

Liu Ruyan was the same!

She clearly sensed that, after not seeing him for just a few days, the aura on Lu Jin’s body had become unfamiliar again!

Powerful, his cultivation speed was even more potent than hers!

“Heh, so only you can sneak attack me, but I can’t sneak attack you? There’s no such logic.”

As his voice fell, his palm suddenly raised.

The expressions of the two changed again.

Although the damage from the sneak attack wasn’t visible on the surface, an uncontrollable force was currently surging within their bodies. If not for forcing themselves to appear calm, Yang Dianfeng would probably be lying on the ground right now!

However, Lu Jin merely scratched his head:

“Heh, a majestic Saint and Saintess, why are you as timid as mice? I just scratched my head, and you’re scared like this?”

“Relax, I won’t let you die so easily. After all, I savored your torture of me slowly for three years!”

As he finished speaking, the raised arm suddenly erupted with Spiritual Power again!

Bang! Bang!

The two gritted their teeth to take the hit, but were still blasted back repeatedly by the powerful offensive. Yang Dianfeng was especially astonished!

He didn’t understand!

“Lu Jin! You are merely at the Spirit Pearl! And I am at the Fifth-Grade Golden Core Realm! So what if you ambushed me? Why am I powerless to resist?”

Asking this question surprised even himself! Since when did his attitude toward enemies become like this? Asking someone else why he couldn’t beat them?

“You’re asking me? Heh, I’ll tell you: because you are a self-righteous piece of trash!”

Lu Jin finished speaking and unleashed another attack!

Kick him while he’s down.

Although he had no intention of killing the two immediately, torturing them properly felt very satisfying! Letting them die easily would be too cheap for them!

Pfft!

The two spat out blood again. Liu Ruyan, who had just reached the Third-Grade Golden Core Realm, was now being ravaged wantonly like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

“Senior Brother, your cultivation is powerful. Why don’t you fight back?”

Liu Ruyan knew she was heavily injured, and her realm was still unstable after just advancing. But Yang Dianfeng was a Fifth-Grade Golden Core. Even if ambushed, he shouldn’t be completely powerless to resist like this, right?

Glancing at Liu Ruyan’s confused eyes, Yang Dianfeng secretly ground his teeth!

Damn it!

If I hadn’t already been injured before this, how would I let Lu Jin have his way now!
