CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 444: NO LOSS

This Golden Core Dao Companions pair consists of a man named Lv Butong and a woman who takes his surname, Lv Jinlian.

Lv Butong is skilled with the Profound Night Sword, while Lv Jinlian excels with the Celestial Rainbow Wheel.

Their combined sword and wheel mastery is renowned even in Penglai Province.

In terms of seniority, these two are a generation lower than Li Buyi, considered as Li Xingyu’s senior brothers.

Li Xingyu suffered a loss at the Ghost Market and was afraid he couldn’t defeat Gao Xuan, so he sent a message by flying crane to invite the Lv couple.

Since they are Golden Core Dao Companions, they felt embarrassed to directly show up and fight for Li Xingyu.

They hid behind the scenes, preparing the Profound Yin God-locking Net. Even if Gao Xuan is a Golden Core Cultivator, once enveloped by the Profound Yin God-locking Net, he can only be at their mercy.

The Profound Yin God-locking Net is an extraordinary Magical Artifact. A single piece is called the Profound Yin God-locking Net, but when eighteen pieces are combined, it forms the Celestial Net Locking God.

Recently, it played a significant role in the destruction of the Five Elements Sect. Even the Blazing Fire Peak, managed for centuries by the Flame Sect, couldn’t unleash its power under the Celestial Net Locking God.

However, Zhou Huang’s lingering spirit managed to escape with the Vermilion Bird Ring, which was thanks to Shui Qianjue’s decisive action and good coordination with Zhou Huang.

The Lv couple were part of that operation, fully powering the Celestial Net Locking God, yet failed to notice anyone escaping.

It wasn’t until later discussion that they realized someone had slipped through. But the one who escaped was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage, not worth worrying about.

However, that person was wearing the Nine Peaks Magic Robe, which was quite mysterious. They couldn’t just let it go.

In recent times, the Xuanzhen Sect secretly searched in all directions, but couldn’t track down that person.

The Lv couple traveled around ostensibly to search for that person.

In the end, they came to help Li Xingyu fight, only to see him being killed by the Profound Nether Ice Needle before their eyes.

The couple was both angry and shocked. Angry at Gao Xuan’s ruthless and emotionless attack, and shocked that he used the Profound Nether Ice Needle, the most vicious Daoist Technique of the Celestial Water Sect.

Back when the Celestial Net Locking God was used, Shui Qianjue’s Profound Nether Ice Needle also killed several Xuanzhen disciples. Its power was evident.

It was from that battle that everyone recognized the might of the Profound Nether Ice Needle.

Now, the Profound Nether Ice Needle wielded by Gao Xuan was even more overpowering and vicious than Shui Qianjue’s.

Even Nascent Soul True Monarch Li Buyi’s Body-Protecting Technique could not withstand the Profound Nether Ice Needle.

Moreover, the technique Gao Xuan used to escape the Profound Yin God-locking Net seemed very much like the Geomagnetic Flame Wheel.

Although the couple had never seen it, they had heard experts in the sect repeatedly talk about it. The Geomagnetic Flame Wheel moves silently and without a trace, its speed as swift as a flash. Most notably, it can be deployed and retracted at will, changing direction freely within a small scope.

The Lv couple thought this boy very much resembled the one who escaped the Five Elements Sect purge, except his cultivation differed greatly. The fact that he could use the Profound Nether Ice Needle was also a bit inconsistent.

As a pair of Golden Core Dao Companions, they were quite tense, yet Gao Xuan remained composed. He smiled and said to the two Golden Core Cultivators, "I’ve long heard of the Lv couple’s exceptional Daoist Skills. Now that I’ve encountered you, I just have to experience them firsthand."

Lv Butong asked Gao Xuan, "Who exactly are you? Why do you insist on opposing our Xuanzhen Sect?"

"Hahahaha..."

Gao Xuan laughed heartily, "You all are quite amusing. A bunch of people come to kill me, and then ask why I’m opposing you? You two, isn’t that a bit unreasonable?"

Lv Butong sneered, "Don’t play dumb. You specifically set up a trap to lure Li Xingyu here. You’re also a dignified Golden Core Cultivator, why resort to deceit?"

"Since you’re putting it that way, I must ask in return."

Gao Xuan said slowly, "Such a vast world, why do you two come seeking death?"

Gao Xuan had no interest in bickering with the couple further, as any continued argument might bring a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

He waved his long sleeve, and countless icy sparks rained down like a storm upon the Lv couple.

Activated by the Nine Peaks Profound Nether Celestial Robe, the Profound Nether Ice Needle contained a terrifying Profound Nether Ice Magical Power. Such power could even freeze a Nascent Soul, illustrating its dominance.

Despite their high cultivation, the Lv couple could only activate their Protective Spiritual Artifacts in the face of the torrential Profound Nether Ice Needle rain.

Lv Jinlian’s Celestial Rainbow Wheel was a top-tier Protective Spiritual Artifact, transforming into a colorful wheel when activated, which spun rapidly around the couple.

The brilliant light of the colorful wheel could repel all kinds of Magic.

The Profound Nether Ice Needle fell on the spinning colorful wheel only to be shattered by its rapid rotation.

Gao Xuan also nodded, acknowledging that this couple was indeed not just all talk. Their response, Magical Artifacts, and cultivation were all top-notch.

If time allowed, he might have indulged in a battle with the two.

However, given the urgent timeframe, he had no leisure to toy with them.

Gao Xuan raised his right palm, and a gigantic Profound Gold giant palm descended from the sky. The palm measured over a hundred zhang in length and forty or fifty zhang in width.

The Profound Gold Giant Palm fell from above, completely obscuring the sky.

The Lv couple was startled, as the massive palm was terrifying in its immensity and the seemingly endless power contained within.

As the palm descended, it was akin to the collapse of heaven.

The couple had encountered various advanced Daoist Skills before, but in terms of weight, fierceness, and dominance, this palm was unrivaled.

If struck by this giant palm, even the Celestial Rainbow Wheel would likely fail to withstand it.

Lv Butong shouted loudly, activating the Profound Night Sword.

The giant sword soared into the sky, growing dozens of times larger with the wind, appearing even larger than the giant palm.

The black giant sword seemed to absorb light, turning the surrounding vast area into a pitch-black abyss.

The Profound Night Sword could establish a Profound Night Sword Realm, depriving one of their five senses and even blocking Divine Sense.

The giant sword could switch between tangible and intangible states, its transformations exceedingly mysterious. In its giant sword form, it possessed the power to cleave mountains and shatter the earth.
