I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 667: Secret Realm Confrontation
So fierce?
Lu Zheng thought there would at least be some pleasantries exchanged before the fight began, but it turned out to be either an ambush or a sudden attack. Did people really disregard martial ethics even in ancient times?
However, the Lu River God had come to do battle, so he was already prepared. With a sweep of the Dragon Head Crescent Saber, a stream of water formed a looping vortex-like shield in front of him, blocking an attack from the opponent.
"I am the Lu River God! Who dares trespass upon my domain?" the Lu River God shouted.
"A River God appointed by the Great Jing Court has no authority over me!" the green-clad strong man rasped. "Withdraw from the Secret Realm obediently, once I'm done, I'll naturally leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for wiping out your entire River God's Mansion!"
Lu Zheng nodded, realizing he was dealing with an unreasonable person.
That actually made things easier.
"How audacious!" the Lu River God roared sternly.
Previously, his only intent was to rescue Zhu Yushan, avoiding entanglement in the feud between the green-clad strong man and the old turtle.
But now, with the green-clad man's words, the nature of the situation had changed.
It had become a matter of face.
Whether it was the face of the Great Jing Court or that of the Lu River God, it was not so easily discarded.
With a flick of his long saber, the Lu River God moved like a bolt of lightning, instantly closing in on the green-clad man, launching a Powerful Slash of Hua Mountain—hmm, not that he knew if there was a Huashan here. The saber stirred up a swirl of water, carrying an imposing aura and sharpness as it slashed down towards the man.
"Here you come!"
The green-clad man swiped his right hand, summoning a dark green steel whip that appeared in his hand. With just a single hand, he blocked the Lu River God's full-force strike with the whip.
In the next moment, his left hand grabbed into the void, pulling out a serrated saber. His gaze turned fierce as he slashed toward the Lu River God's neck.
Lu Zheng's fingers moved, but before he could assist, he saw the Lu River God swing his saber, using the saber's tail to deflect the serrated sword.
Though outmatched in strength, the Lu River God's profound Dao Practice and battle-hardened experience meant he wouldn't be defeated in a single move.
Then, a continuous stream of water soldiers from the River God's Mansion entered the Secret Realm, forming a formation upon arrival. With the Primordial Water Array Banner waving in their hands, soon the flags connected in momentum, enveloped in glowing water light; streams of water surged toward the two combatants, bolstering the Lu River God and restraining the green-clad strong man.
Lu Zheng then released his grip, continuing to support the Lu River God by securing the perimeter.
After all, he discovered this place himself; the Light of Fortune would definitely not exclude him. With that in mind, of course, he should take it easy if he could.
Moreover, the Lu River God was, after all, a senior; since he hadn't shown signs of defeat, Lu Zheng was unsure if it was appropriate to intervene.
Fortunately, with the assistance of the Primordial Water Array, the Lu River God was invigorated, his Dragon Head Crescent Saber whirling like the wind, locked in a fierce duel with the green-clad strong man.
"The River God has excellent martial arts!"
Lu Zheng couldn't help but praise, turning to Li Hanyu with a smile, "Why hasn't this technique been passed to Brother Zhu?"
Having reached the Secret Realm and tethered to the danger targeting her husband, with Lu Zheng, a formidable ally, supporting her father, Li Hanyu had already relaxed.
Upon hearing Lu Zheng's words, she simply smiled and said, "Yushan is always thinking about exams; it's already difficult enough for him to engage in Qi Cultivation. Wielding a saber in a fight is beyond him; it has to be my father."
Despite her words, Li Hanyu beamed with satisfaction regarding her husband. It was half intended for Lu Zheng and half for the Lu River God.
On the other side, although the green-clad strong man had the upper hand over the Lu River God, he was unable to secure a victory in a short time.
Seeing the pair across from him chatting happily, his anger flared, impatient to wait for the controlling water soldiers' momentum to weaken. Instead, he pointed his hand, and a jet-black water stream quickly spun, forming into a black water drill with a trailing wave, swiftly striking toward the Primordial Water Array.
Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, and in the next instant, he stood between the water drill and the Primordial Water Array.
Though he couldn't intervene in the Lu River God's battle, he had no qualms about protecting the Primordial Water Array, knowing he couldn't really do nothing.
In water, it's indeed challenging to perform certain spells; Cloud Techniques, Wind Techniques, and even Thunder Techniques are difficult in such an environment, which is why even Sun Wukong, with his renowned prowess, admitted a lack of expertise in water combat.
But fortunately, if Lu Zheng had nothing else, he had knowledge of many cultivation techniques. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
With a tap on his gourd, a cyan flying sword emitting a silver glow shot swiftly from the gourd's mouth, transforming into a cyan streak that aimed directly at the tip of the black water drill.
Clashing head-on, the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword collided with the tip of the water drill.
"Clang!"
A flying sword is naturally usable in water. With the sound of the sword ringing, it even produced a sound of metal and iron clashing with the water drill.
"A Sword Cultivator?"
The green-clad man's eyelids twitched, realizing just then how sharp Lu Zheng's flying sword was. It shattered his water drill with just one strike, and the sword qi was dense and fierce, with cultivation level matching his own.
Lu Zheng stood with hands clasped behind his back, the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword circling back to him after dispersing the water drill, hovering three feet in front of his chest, its tip aimed at the green-clad strong man, faintly threatening.
Seeing Lu Zheng display such prowess, the three hundred water soldiers were invigorated, channeling even more power into aiding the Lu River God through the Primordial Water Array.
The Lu River God's saber swept like the wind, an imposing force slashing towards the green-clad strong man.
A cold glint flashed in the green-clad man's eyes as he retreated step by step.
"Uncle, be careful!" Lu Zheng's eyes flashed.
In the next moment, as the Dragon Head Crescent Saber swept from the right, the green-clad man's steel whip rose to block it. The serrated saber locked it in place for a moment, then a massive tail with scales appeared from the strong man's back, lashing the Lu River God.
"Bang!"
The Lu River God was sent flying, but his armor shimmered with a flowing light, absorbing much of the impact, and with demon power protecting him, he wasn't actually hurt.
However, after repelling the Lu River God, the strong man leaped forward like an arrow, aiming for the Primordial Water Array.
He clearly saw that, even though Lu Zheng seemed formidable, he wasn't skilled in Water Techniques. Now, with Lu Zheng guarding, the Primordial Water Array had deliberately lowered its defenses, providing an exploitable opportunity.
Once he could restrain Lu Zheng and disperse the Primordial Water Array, the Lu River God's combat strength would decrease by at least thirty percent, and the restraining force against him would vanish.
With the scales tipping, he was confident that even facing both the Lu River God and Lu Zheng together, he could drive them out of the Secret Realm.
Once the Secret Realm's entrance was sealed, he'd have enough time to deal with that old turtle and the meddling scholar.
"Die for me!"
An ink-green layer of scales emerged over the strong man's body, raising his steel whip to strike at Lu Zheng. At the same time, his serrated saber churned the water, quietly manifesting several black water drills targeted at the Primordial Water Array.
