I Have A Dual World Seal

"She seems to have found herself a good sister." Leng Jian glanced at Liu Qingyan, then turned back to Shen Ying, and said with a cold laugh, "But relying on you alone, you can't stop me."

As the words fell, his expression changed, and his right hand formed a claw, swinging fiercely behind him.

"Ding!"

A light sound echoed as the air rippled like water, revealing Lu Zheng's figure, who blocked Leng Jian's attack with his saber across his chest.

"Lu Lang!" Liu Qingyan exclaimed.

"An illusion?" Leng Jian sneered, "Casting an illusion under moonlight, aren't you still dreaming?"

Lu Zheng remained silent, swung his long saber, and his blood qi surged into the sky.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar echoed, and with a flash of the saber's light and a fierce tiger's illusion, it reached Leng Jian.

"Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation!" Leng Jian was startled. The earlier illusion was nothing, but this saber strike was grand and powerful, not easily deflected.

With a flip of his palm, a curved saber appeared in his hand, striking downwards to meet the blow.

"Howl!"

A wolf's howl resounded as a black wolf's illusion pounced fiercely, clashing and biting with the tiger illusion until both dissipated with a roar.

Leng Jian's expression changed. Lu Zheng's cultivation was much higher than he had expected.

"Go!"

Shen Ying shouted lowly, and countless Peach Blossom Evils appeared from thin air, surrounding Leng Jian again.

Lu Zheng's eyes flickered, and he didn't use the Cloud Walking Technique, instead he stirred the blood qi within his body, his long saber danced, and with the aid of the Peach Blossom Evils, he launched a frenzied assault on Leng Jian like a mad tiger.

"Howl!"

The sound of wolves howling echoed, as Leng Jian's figure flickered to and fro, sword qi soared, blocking Lu Zheng's saber light. Around him, a fierce black wind swirled, bringing forth streaks of black light, scattering the peach blossom illusion.

Faced with two opponents, he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.

Upon hearing Liu Qingyan's earlier shout, a trace of ferocity flickered in Leng Jian's eyes as he looked at Lu Zheng, "Qingyan is not a maiden anymore. Her body bears your scent!"

Lu Zheng maneuvered, flashes of saber light burst out, "Cousin, take Qingyan and retreat towards the City God Temple."

"City God?" A sharp glint flashed in Leng Jian's eyes.

Under normal circumstances, the City God wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. However, Lu Zheng's words suggested that he had personal connections with the City God. Given the urgency, the City God Temple could surely provide them protection.

"No one is leaving!"

Leng Jian snarled, spreading his hand wide, scattering dozens of pristine wolf teeth around the Liu Family's courtyard. Streams of moonlight descended from the sky, reflecting off the wolf teeth, forming pillars of light, each revealing black wolf illusions that howled and roared.

Apart from Lu Zheng and Shen Ying, even though Elder Liu and Madam Liu were older, their Dao practice was less than a century, lacking any combat techniques. Huangfu Xu and the Liu Family Sisters had even shallower Dao practice, unable to break Leng Jian's spell.

"I'm going to kill you!" Leng Jian snarled.

"Come on then?" Lu Zheng sneered, closing in, launching saber attacks towards Leng Jian.

He hadn't hurried to cast the Body-Freezing Curse; Leng Jian's cultivation wasn't weak, and his speed was exceptionally fast. Lu Zheng's curse wasn't instantaneous, and even a slight delay could allow Leng Jian to escape or counterattack.

So, Lu Zheng waited for an opportunity.

...

Lu Zheng was waiting for an opportunity, and Shen Ying was fully aware, so she unleashed her full power. The Peach Blossom Evils filled the void, not only besieging Leng Jian but also layering protection in front of Liu Qingyan's family, fully restricting Leng Jian's actions.

As long as Leng Jian didn't want to let the Peach Blossom Evil invade his body, he could only move in the direction designated by her.

With Shen Ying's current strength, facing Leng Jian alone might be challenging, but with Lu Zheng's frontal hold, the dense array of Peach Blossom Evils was enough to give Leng Jian a headache.

Thus, if Leng Jian made one slip, whether by falling into the Peach Blossom Evil or getting impeded by their siege, Lu Zheng's chance would come.

So, Leng Jian decided not to delay.

Whether the City God appeared or daylight broke, he had to retreat. If he gave way tonight, confronting a prepared enemy would be much more challenging.

"Hm!"

Leng Jian snorted coldly, his hands performing a seal technique, then he spun around, instantly splitting into three figures,

"Die for me!"

The three figures—one performed seal techniques, conjuring a black wind to scatter the surrounding Peach Blossom Evil by several meters; the other two, one wielding a sabre, the other a claw, attacked Lu Zheng from left and right.

"What's this? One Qi Transformed into Three Pristine Ones?" Lu Zheng was taken aback. If this wolf demon knew this art, he might as well give up and surrender with his eyes closed.

"Is it also an illusion? A blinding technique?"

Lu Zheng's eyes hardened as he retreated towards Liu Qingyan, conjuring a seal technique with his hands, "Supreme Decree, White Cloud Barrier Breaker, go!"

The misty cloud permeated, making not only the two figures besieging Lu Zheng but also the one dispersing the Peach Blossom Evil start to blur.

Shen Ying shouted lightly, "Down below!"

It turned out that just moments ago, Leng Jian cast a spell, performing a Moonlight Concealment Technique, creating three illusions of himself. One illusion pretended to cast spells, while he himself used a spell to clear space amidst the Peach Blossom Evil, sliding through its gaps, hiding on the ground and evading the Peach Blossom Evil's probe which hadn't reached the ground.

Meanwhile, he moved swiftly on the ground, rushing towards Liu Qingyan.

When Lu Zheng dispelled Leng Jian's illusion, Leng Jian already charged into the Peach Blossom Evil that protected Liu Qingyan, being detected by Shen Ying.

He believed that with his three illusions holding back Lu Zheng, even if Shen Ying could detect him, it would be enough time to capture Liu Qingyan.

Yet, he hadn't expected Lu Zheng to immediately sense something was amiss, not only quickly dispelling his illusion but also retreating swiftly towards Liu Qingyan.

Thus, when he charged into the Peach Blossom Evil, enduring its attacks to grab Liu Qingyan, Lu Zheng had just retreated nearby.

Wasn't this the chance?

"Supreme Infinite, Three Pristine Imperial Decree, freeze!"

Leng Jian, who was lunging at Liu Qingyan, suddenly stiffened, his pupils contracted, and his heart spirit trembled violently.

"Die, you!" Lu Zheng roared in fury, his blood qi surged into his long saber, a tiger's roar echoed into the sky, and the saber's light shone brighter than moonlight, slashing at Leng Jian's neck.

"Crack!"

"Awooo!"

A wolf's howl resounded as an arm flew skyward.

It was Leng Jian, who at the critical moment broke through the Body-Freezing Curse's restraint, sacrificing his left arm to block Lu Zheng's full-powered strike.

In the next moment, blood flashed, as Leng Jian grabbed the blood spurting from his severed limb, splashing it everywhere, dyeing the surroundings in red. Then he leaped forth, retrieving the dozens of wolf teeth, dismantling the trapping array. Enduring the Peach Blossom Evil's attacks with amplified injuries, spitting out blood, he broke free from Shen Ying's encirclement, plunged into the vast night, transforming into a streak of black light darting towards the eastern city.

"Since you came, you won't leave!"

Lu Zheng used Divine Movement Technique, his feet like the wind, giving chase.

Shen Ying nodded to Liu Qingyan, then her figure flickered, following the pursuit.
