Chapter 450: Chapter 408: Eight-Armed Dragon Seizing

Retreat, retreat to where?

Wang Yu urged several times, and Zhuang Qing finally understood. The Yunshan Sect had gone to great lengths to sow discord between them and the Xuanguang Sect, leading to a confrontation between the two sides. However, they did not intend to assist them in capturing Kongming Mountain. Instead, they wanted the Spirit Talisman Sect to retreat back to Lingsha City.

It makes sense upon reflection; Kongming Mountain is located in the central part of Chongming County, closer to Mingjian Mountain and farther from Yunshan Sect or Liangxiang County.

The Yunshan Sect, based in Lingsha City, has a Golden Core Level Grand Array for protection, and Golden Dawn Peak is no more than four hundred miles away. With the strength of the Shuangye Alliance, it can provide coverage. Thus, with Master Cangfeng’s support, they easily reclaimed it. But the further distant Kongming Mountain is beyond their capabilities to defend.

The situation is similar from the direction of Liangxiang County. The influence of Liangxiang County from Shuangye Square can cover the Spirit Snake Peak line while also supporting Qingli Mountain and Liuhua Valley. However, heading further towards Kongming Mountain is too far away.

Unless Master Cangfeng stays in Shuangye Square all day, otherwise, Master Fengfeng could instantly take over Kongming Mountain.

Master Cangfeng also has to guard his own Liangxiang County and naturally cannot provide constant attention, so now with the Spirit Talisman Sect rebelling, Kongming Mountain is definitely indefensible.

Alas, dissatisfaction with the treatment from the Xuanguang Sect was the catalyst for all these events. But now, they must even give up the last bit and head to Lingsha City empty-handed. It’s uncertain what reward they might receive.

Having reached this point, there are no more choices left.

At this moment, Zhuang Qing felt extremely conflicted, with anger and frustration after being framed by Yunshan Sect, liberation and relief from the recklessness, and as a strategist, shock at Yunshan Sect’s precise maneuvering and skillful use of estrangement tactics.

Even if Lu Qian is in seclusion, does the Yunshan Sect still possess such ability?

Is this a legacy of Lu Qian, or does someone else have this talent?

This was Zhuang Qing’s first time feeling completely outpaced by Yunshan Sect.

Thoughts flashed by like lightning, Zhuang Qing grabbed Yinn Hongbo: "Go!"

The two cooperated, drawing on their Dao Patterns. Their two silver and gold brush-like arms moved, and a dazzling Annihilation Talisman wrapped in thunder light shot out.

The light flashed, and with a booming sound, blew apart Wang Hao’s Xun Wind Giant’s arm and shoulder.

Using the force of the strike, the two withdrew and dashed toward their disciples clashing with the Xuanguang Sect elites.

"Going where?!"

Xu Chengyun shouted angrily, Qiuniu surged up, Zhang Wei clashed sword and dagger, and rumbling thunder crashed down.

But welcoming them was Wang Yu’s explosive yell.

His body trembled, and inside his Dantian, the black lotus shook, flooding his body with rolling Spiritual Evil along his meridians and acupoints, surging through every corner following a specific trajectory as violently as lightning, swelling his giant-like body even further in a blink!

The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, five special corpse organs formed a refined and powerful inner circulation, roaring like thunder and fire, spurring the uprising of the whole body’s Spiritual Evil and vital energy, transforming into Dragon Capturing and Elephant Pulling Power.

At that moment, Qiuniu, already poisoned and heavily scarred, gathered his remaining strength to charge, while Zhang Wei’s thunder strike followed closely behind.

Wang Yu leapt up!

Two long, red-haired monster-like arms swelled with steel-forged muscles, wielding the Poisonous Dao Pattern-enhanced Hornless Dragon Heaven-Piercing Halberd as a swirling black light. In that instant, his body spun like a whirlwind, creating several shadow arms, each arm displaying a Spear Shadow Hornless Dragon.

The thunder flashed right before him, and Wang Yu shouted, drawing Dragon Capturing and Elephant Pulling Power to twist the spear shadows, splitting the thunder ball with a flash of black light!

Thunder exploded furiously!

The crowd’s eardrums ached intensely, and amid the sea of thunder light, a spear shadow dragon churned, cutting through waves, and Wang Yu jumped out!

His veil had been shattered by lightning brilliance, and his clothes almost entirely destroyed. Wrapped in rampant lightning, Wang Yu’s black eyes bulged wide in fury, resisting the conflicting currents within his body, twisting his shadow arms as the Hornless Dragon Halberd slashed toward Qiuniu.

Another loud bang echoed like a tolling bell, and Qiuniu howled in pain as the gold scales on his skull were shattered, Spiritual Light dissipated, and Wang Yu groaned, finally unable to endure and spewed out a mouthful of blood tinged with lightning in mid-air.

But after all, he was able to block the attacks from Xu Chengyun and Zhang Wei, one being at Late-Stage Foundation Establishment and another at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment!

Even though Qiuniu was poisoned and his combat power was greatly reduced, it was enough for Wang Yu to be proud.

Even Xu Chengyun was shocked, never expecting Wang Yu’s earlier claim of "I alone will block the pursuers" wasn’t mere bluff.

This was Wang Yu’s half-corpse body cultivated with the Eight-Armed Celestial God Dragon-Catching Skill!

His half-corpse body fused corpse organs and arms with living persons, giving his shell thriving vitality along with a sedimented lifelessness.

The vigorous vitality bestowed explosive power and resilience, while the stagnant lifelessness corresponded with exceptional adaptability and endurance.

This was a naturally gifted martial body!

The more it cultivated and exerted force, the more hidden potential buried in muscles, fascia, bones, and blood pinpointedly emerged, letting power flow effortlessly and fiercely.

Eight-Armed Celestial God Dragon-Catching Skill implies its intricate speed, movements as swift as flying, truly complete with eight arms, each bearing different techniques. Capturing Dragons signifies inexhaustible power, formidable strength beyond compare.

Eight-Armed Dragon-Capturing blends dazzling techniques impossible to parry with overwhelming, irresistible ferocity, combining into extraordinary prowess.

Therefore, with Wang Yu’s body’s endowment, this technique, even at a preliminary stage, allowed him to confront an ordinary Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment head-on with his Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

Now, although injured, Wang Yu managed to obstruct Xu Chengyun and Zhang Wei, letting Zhuang Qing and Yinn Hongbo burst into the Xuanguang Sect elites like tigers among sheep, swiftly downing their forces, helping their disciples to withdraw.

They were not keen on prolonged engagement, and with an order, disciples on Kongming Mountain flew out as instructed, scattering in all directions.

After the cultivators took flight, the broad earth and sky offered endless routes to traverse. By scattering in all directions, unless the enemy catches up, they could freely shuttle between the towering mountains, gradually regrouping in Lingsha City.

This was the most reliable retreat strategy, enough to preserve most of the Spirit Talisman Sect’s vitality.

Only Zhuang Qing and Yinn Hongbo were unaware that Wang Yu’s initial plan wasn’t such a decisive retreat.

He originally intended to use the power of three corpse puppets to join forces with the Spirit Talisman Sect and permanently trap the dispatched Xuanguang Sect Foundation Establishments here!

Unfortunately, the strength the Xuanguang Sect sent to demand accountability exceeded his expectations.

Two Late-Stage Foundation Establishments, two Mid-Stage Foundation Establishments, five floating battleships, two hundred elite forces. More importantly, the two Late-Stage Foundation Establishments were Golden Core Secret Transmission cultivators with formidable combat power.
