Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Sudden, Decisive Battle Atop the Graveyard Hill! (Please Subscribe)

Duan Yun walked towards the graveyard.

The further up the mountain he went, the denser the Death Energy seemed.

Duan Yun had always believed that the fresher the corpse, the denser the Death Energy, just as proven by the bodies of several eunuchs.

However, he soon realized that this was not the only criteria.

Visibly, the further up the mountain he traveled, the older and more dilapidated the grave mounds appeared, and the corpses contained within them were even more ancient.

Yet the Death Energy got denser the higher he went.

"Could it be related to the resentment at the time of death?" Duan Yun analyzed.

Because of different trail paths up the mountain, it wasn’t until he neared the summit that Duan Yun discovered footprints of some people.

Were there others on this graveyard mountain, not just one or two?

The black bamboo at the summit had become sparse, and Duan Yun soon discovered the tracks of those from the Thunder God and Mother Sect.

When he first saw that scene, even the Old Demon Duan himself was taken aback.

He stood behind a cluster of black bamboo and saw two young disciples of the Thunder God and Mother Sect impaled by two long, thin metal rods, standing there like skewered meat.

The metal rods entered through their skulls and exited from the lower abdomen; naturally, they couldn’t survive.

What was horrific was that at that moment, the people were still alive, constantly moving their limbs and gasping for air.

Subsequently, a strange humming sound suddenly resonated.

Duan Yun suddenly noticed the "Divine Iron of Mother" placed near his lapel trembling.

He even felt a slight vibration in both of his hands.

The vibration was very subtle; had he not been extremely sensitive to it, he might not have even noticed its presence.

This was the "Blood Sacrifice Skills" of the Thunder God and Mother Sect, resonating through the lives of the disciples and everything related to the Thunder God and Mother in the vicinity.

Earlier, Duan Yun had guessed that these mad followers could sense him because of the metal shards on him, but he didn’t expect the sensation to be so thorough.

The slight tremors in his hands were probably caused by the delicate iron dust left behind when touching these Divine Iron.

Sure enough, the "demon" who was caressing the metal rods turned its head at that moment.

Duan Yun called him a "demon" because this member of the Thunder God and Mother Sect was indeed sinister.

The previous mad follower who could transform lightning into a long mace only had tadpole runes etched on his back, but this one had them all over his body, even on his face.

The runes on this individual didn’t seem to be tattooed on the skin, but rather appeared to grow from the flesh, much like moles on a human body.

Especially when combined with the way he caressed the metal rods that impaled humans, it appeared even more "demonic."

At that moment, the "demon" looked towards him, and he also looked towards the "demon."

Although the "demon" looked frightening, Young Hero Duan, embodying both righteousness and heroic spirit, suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "Are you looking for me?"

"Old Demon Duan!"

A person from the Thunder God and Mother Sect exclaimed in panic.

Duan Yun originally came to scope the place, but had not expected to run into someone like this.

And Jin Ladu originally came to confirm the location of the Old Demon, only to find the Old Demon right behind him.

Both were startled for a moment.

However, both being masters, they quickly calmed down.

Jin Ladu planted the two "human charms" into the ground, revealing a spine-chilling smile.

"Old Demon Duan, I’ve been looking for you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yun angrily retorted, "Your old mother is the demon! I am a young hero! Young hero! Young hero!"

His expression suddenly became fierce, even startling the elder Jin Ladu.

"This young hero today will wipe out all of you blasphemous evil demons! Let you know what it means..."

Before Duan Yun could finish his sentence, Jin Ladu suddenly bellowed, "Old Demon Duan is here, come quickly!"

His Inner Strength was incredibly powerful, and standing on high ground, his shout echoed not just across the mountain tops but throughout Yushi Town.

Duan Yun, caught off guard by the sudden shout, became even more furious and exclaimed, "Why are you yelling so loudly!"

Saying that, he rushed forward with a fierce expression.

Bloodthirsty spectators on the mountainside, upon hearing it was Old Demon Duan, panickedly retreated while trying to shield those beside them, yet also craned their necks, fearing missing the exciting scene.

At the foot of the mountain, upon hearing the roar, the elder of Red House, Hong Ying, took the lead and flew out, followed by the other fairy maidens.

For a moment, the gravesite was abuzz with fairy maidens in red dresses flying high, resembling a Feitian mural.

Hearing the commotion, heroes from the Martial World also rushed towards the mountain, among them Shen Ying and Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue, who were disguised as ordinary martial-world women.

Not to mention Shen Ying, even the Murong brothers wrapped in mats and sleeping were startled by the roar, shouting "Damn!" as they crawled out of their mats and headed up the mountain...

As the heroes from the Martial World trampled over the graves in their rush to join the excitement, Duan Yun and Jin Ladu had already started their fight.

Facing the suddenly ferocious charge of Duan Yun, Jin Ladu sensed danger and did not dare to be negligent. He pulled the Life Flute from his head, put it in his mouth, and started playing!

Pure True Qi surged from his Dantian, quickly flowing through his meridians and rushing to his lips.

His large red robe vibrated with the true Qi, autonomously fluttering without wind as the flute sound suddenly intensified.

The piercing flute sound carried a sharp Qi Force, and for a moment, Qi Arrows like a shower of arrows struck towards Duan Yun.

With his left hand, Duan Yun swept out his sword, emitting a Water Moon Shape Sword Qi that sliced through the air with a piercing crack!

Water Moon Sword Energy and Life Flute Qi Arrows collided, resulting in thunderous explosive sounds.

Jin Ladu flipped his hand, the Life Flute still between his lips, continuing to play Qi Arrows from the Life Flute, while his hands scooped up two human charms.

Whether it was the Life Flute on his head or the long life charms used for performing Immortal Law techniques, all were his weapons.

No one knew better than him how to kill!

These human charms were about ten feet long, each skewering a disciple, looking like two large skewers of meat.

Jin Ladu lifted his hands, and the human charms whizzed toward Duan Yun, thrusting at him.

Life Charms were very long, a ten-foot long weapon that was considered extremely lengthy in the Martial World.

Long weapons are usually not light, such as the Overlord Spear, which takes a domineering approach; however, these human charms were the exact opposite, they are very long, exceedingly thin, and very light, designed for agility and devious attacks.

The people on the two human charms were torn into pieces by the force, blood scattered like rain, while the human charms attacked Duan Yun from multiple directions like two poisonous snakes.

What Jin Ladu needed to do was thrust!

Using every possible way, speed, and angle to thrust!

Because of the rapid thrusting and excessive changes, the human charms almost formed a net, seemingly intending to completely entrap Duan Yun.

The air around was filled with dense sounds of sonic booms, with every patch of land that the human charms passed over, the reddened graveyard along with the bones smashed into mud.

Jin Ladu didn’t think he could trap Old Demon Duan and mince him just like that, but he knew the situation was going very well!

All he needed to do was delay for a bit longer until the madam and other Demon Slayers from Red House arrived. When everyone would join forces to surround and attack this Old Demon.

Old Demon Duan today was doubtlessly going to die!

The next moment, Elder Jin Ladu’s brow furrowed slightly, as he suddenly saw an ethereal Dharma Image emerge.

"Embrace Sparrow Tail!"

Jade Sword True Qi streaked forth, forming a dignified and beautiful Sword Immortal Dharma Image of the White Silk Jade Sword behind Duan Yun.

Countless jade arms extended from the Dharma Image, with dozens of silver-white Jade Sword Finger Sword Energies explosively striking out!

With a loud bang, the unstoppable momentum of the human charms wavered from the blast.

The ground where both stood abruptly sank, forming a giant pit, with bones and soil swirling wildly.

A disciple from the Thunder God and Mother Sect, unable to dodge, was impaled through the thigh by a flying leg bone and rolled on the ground, screaming miserably.

Indeed, it was a battle between the Fourth Elder and Old Demon Duan. Even the fallout from their battle was terrifying!

Facing Duan Yun’s counterattack, Jin Ladu skillfully used his human charms; he planted one on the ground, allowing his whole body to swiftly ascend along it.

With the dual human charms planted, he positioned himself high up like one on stilts.

For a moment, he seemed like a figure with swords strapped to his feet, looming overhead and continuing to thrust down at Duan Yun.

I’ve got plenty more tricks... Damn!

Jin Ladu suddenly gasped, his breath hitching.

That’s because down below, Duan Yun’s sword in hand became a blur, which was an overlay of numerous Sword Qi.

Simultaneously, the Dharma Image behind him also transformed.

From white to black, from upright to indifferent, from straightforward to mysterious and inscrutable.

And crucially, the Dharma Image’s sword finger turned into a sword shape.

"Rotation! Goddammit, seven-layered spring rain rotation!"
