As the leader of the Eight Immortals, Lü Chunyang actually had a very high potential for inheriting divine authority.
He was not weak in either supernatural powers or swordsmanship, and should be a very dashing sword immortal. Lü Chunyang himself was also quite handsome.
As a result, every time he appeared, it seemed to be incredibly miserable.
The first time was when he was completely outmaneuvered by that woman Yao Ji, and was severely injured and suffered a terrible fate.
Now he looks miserable again, as if he has been slowly tortured, and he has several negative effects on him.
"What happened?" Yang Cheng asked directly.
Lu Chunyang hurriedly said, "Shebi Shi, Tian Wu, and Jiu Ying have launched a surprise attack on us! Senior Li Yuanchao is already surrounded and in grave danger. Brother Yang, hurry to his rescue!"
Yang Cheng grabbed Lü Chunyang and said, "Hurry up! We'll talk as we go!"
On the way, Lü Chunyang told Yang Cheng what had happened. In fact, they were just unlucky to have encountered the three unlucky Shebi Shi.
Shebi Shi and his two companions chased after Yang Cheng but failed and were scolded away by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, ending up with a humiliating defeat.
So they were already prepared to shift all the blame onto the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden once they returned to Gonggong's side.
Although Wu Xian and Qiong Qi were both dead, they were almost able to kill Yang Cheng.
Trading the lives of Wu Xian and Qiongqi for Yang Cheng's successor as the Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun seems like a fair deal.
If it weren't for the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden suddenly acting crazy and stopping them, they would have already returned with Yang Cheng's head!
However, even though the plan was well thought out, it was still quite embarrassing for five people to chase down one person only to have two of them killed in the process, and for them to return in a disheveled state.
Unexpectedly, they later encountered Li Yuanchao and Lü Chunyang.
These two people were unaware of the true situation on Paradise Island, but after they killed the monster, they also discovered Chaos Stones. Although they didn't know the effects of these things, they were collecting them subconsciously.
Shebi Shi and the other two were already seething with anger, and when they saw the two of them killing monsters, they vented their rage on them.
The three launched a sneak attack, and Lu Chunyang, with his early-stage Four Symbols Realm cultivation, was no match for them and was severely injured.
Li Yuanchao was also seriously injured, but he was physically strong and still had the strength to fight.
Just now, Li Yuanchao fought his way out with all his might to send Lü Chunyang away so that he could find reinforcements. Otherwise, the two of them would be trapped here and die!
Lü Chunyang was lucky; if he had been any slower, he might have missed Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng arrived at the battlefield at top speed, where Li Yuanchao was already teetering on the brink of collapse.
He was covered in wounds, even his arm was broken, and he was also poisoned by the original poison of the Shebi Corpse.
Shebi Shi and the other two did not engage in close combat with him, but instead attacked from a distance, intending to slowly wear down Li Yuanchao.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng immediately took out the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, which only had one last chance left, and shouted, "Please turn around, my treasure!"
Upon hearing this voice, the three of them froze almost simultaneously and frantically retreated.
The white light rushed straight towards Jiuying, who stood at the very peak. Jiuying frantically activated its divine power, transforming directly into its ferocious beast form. Its nine enormous heads blocked the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, but eight of them were directly sliced off!
Yang Cheng formed a hand seal, and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) frantically condensed, transforming into a giant mountain that pressed down.
Carrying mountains to catch up with the sun!
The Nine-Headed Serpent, now only having one head left, let out a mournful howl as it was directly suppressed into the ground by the giant mountain of spiritual energy, leaving a huge crater.
Shebi Shi and Tian Wu rushed to their aid. Yang Cheng's three-pointed double-edged sword was extremely sharp, and with one strike, he cleaved the dragon, and a hundred-foot blade of light pierced through in an instant!
After that strike, Yang Cheng stopped fighting and fled, carrying Lü Yuan in one hand and Li Yuanchao in the other.
After blocking Yang Cheng's attack, Shebi Shi and Tian Wu rushed to check on Jiu Ying's injuries.
Although nine of his heads were severed, he only suffered severe damage to his vital energy and blood, and was not in mortal danger.
One of the supernatural powers inherited by the Nine-Headed Serpent is the ability to transform into the body of a ferocious beast, greatly enhancing its vitality.
As long as one head remains, the damage is merely to vital energy and blood; it won't kill the person.
Having regained his human form, Jiuying cursed angrily, "Damn it! What on earth is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden doing?"
She stopped us from killing Yang Cheng, and then released him just like that. What exactly does she want?!
It's not that Shebi Shi and the others were negligent; they simply never expected that Yang Cheng, who was trapped in the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's Maze, would walk out so easily, seemingly without any injury. This left them completely unprepared and caught them off guard once again.
Shebishi sneered, "After we get back, we'll complain to Lord Gonggong about that woman! Is she a member of my Divine Court or the Heavenly Palace?"
Tianwu asked, "Should we still chase them? With Wang Lingguan and Lü Chunyang as burdens, Yang Cheng shouldn't be able to run fast."
Jiuying touched his neck and said with a gloomy expression, "Don't chase after him. That Yang Cheng is a bit strange. He seems to have an inexhaustible supply of trump cards."
The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife alone is an evil thing that requires us to defend against with all our might.
This level of treasure is definitely not unlimited, but do you know how many more chances it has to be used?
If this happens a few more times, we might really be in deep trouble. We still haven't driven Yang Cheng to a dead end.
Let's wait until we return and report to Lord Gonggong before making a decision."
The three were genuinely frightened by Yang Cheng this time and dared not pursue him any further, choosing instead to retreat first.
