Chapter 178 The Black-Clad Saint
"Who are you, you scoundrel!"
Not far away, Lu Bu, having failed to catch up with You Yong Saint, also quickly returned to the Great Xia Imperial Palace to protect the emperor.
Seeing what had just happened, he immediately swung his Fangtian Halberd and slashed directly at the black-clad saint on the roof of the palace.
Sensing Lu Bu's murderous intent, the black-clad saint remained calm and composed.
The other party merely gave a disdainful smile.
Swish!
The halberd struck him directly in the body.
The body, which was originally intact, was now cut in two.
Surprisingly, the body that had been cut in two gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed.
"Afterimage?"
The powerful figures noticed this scene and immediately realized it.
Despite Lu Bu's swift and fierce strike, it failed to harm the opponent in the slightest.
"The person who was able to dodge Lu Bu's attack is probably much stronger than the Youyong Saint who was defeated by Lu Bu before."
Xiao Ling's brows furrowed slightly.
Lu Bu's strength is beyond doubt, yet even with such strength, it was difficult for him to understand his opponent, which shows that the opponent's strength was extraordinary.
"Everyone, be careful."
Xiao Ling remained vigilant.
If I hadn't reacted just now, even if I had been able to stop him with my own resources and methods, given the strength of the generals of the Great Xia, probably only Lü Bu could contend with him.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Ling's figure flashed.
Where it originally stood, a sharp glint was flashing.
The black-clad saint reappeared and launched a sneak attack on Xiao Ling.
but.
This time, Xiao Ling once again anticipated it and managed to escape unscathed.
Seeing that his attack had missed once again, the black-clad saint glanced at Xiao Ling's location with his sharp gaze before disappearing completely from the spot.
Just as Lü Bu was about to make a move, he once again lost track of his opponent.
"Special concealment methods?"
Despite not having directly confronted the opponent during the two consecutive attacks, Xiao Ling had already roughly sensed the opponent's strength from the slight fluctuations in power.
In terms of pure strength, he is slightly stronger than the previous Saint Youyong, but with Lu Bu's power, he would be able to defeat him.
It's simply that the opponent's methods are so elusive and unpredictable that we are helpless against them because we can't catch them.
assassin?
Something suddenly occurred to Xiao Ling.
"Zhuan Zhu! You must leave!"
Xiao Ling transmitted his voice to the powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty, and two of them instantly reacted.
Since the black-clad saint was adept at concealment, Zhuan Zhu and Yao Li, who were also assassins, might have some means to restrain him.
As ninth-grade Heavenly Venerables, the two may not be as powerful as Saints, but their assassin skills are likely quite formidable.
"Do either of you have a way to find the other's location?"
Xiao Ling secretly communicated with the two of them telepathically.
"Your Majesty, this person is using an illusion technique. His body blends into his surroundings, making him virtually impossible to detect."
The speaker was Zhuan Zhu.
The fact that the other party could say such a thing clearly meant that they had already figured out some of the black-clad saint's secrets.
After Zhuan Zhu finished speaking, Yao Li immediately followed with a telepathic message: "Your Majesty, we control a special substance. Any living being that comes into contact with it will have nowhere to hide within an hour."
"We two will place this special substance around His Majesty in a moment. When that black-clad saint reappears, once he is touched by it, his escape technique will surely be broken!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling understood.
As long as he can be made to have nowhere to hide, Lu Bu's strength is more than enough to deal with him.
Following the instructions in the telepathic message, Xiao Ling moved closer to the location where Yao Li and Zhuan Zhu were.
Through such a stealthy operation, the special substances the two mentioned had already been placed in their proper positions.
Next.
They were just waiting for the lurking black-clad saint to take the bait.
Xiao Ling pretended to search around cautiously.
In order to lure the other party into a trap, Xiao Ling deliberately and discreetly maintained a certain distance from Lü Bu.
It was in such an environment.
as predicted.
Xiao Ling could vaguely sense a strange sensation emanating from the surrounding void.
Pretend nothing's wrong and just wait for the other person to approach.
At the same time, various powerful defensive measures were gradually added to itself to prevent any other possible problems from arising later.
Swish!
Suddenly, a sharp edge, just as sharp as before, appeared.
In the blink of an eye, it pierced directly at Xiao Ling's location.
Bang! ! !
A barrier appeared in front of Xiao Ling's body, but it was pierced through after only a moment.
Just as that sharp edge was about to strike Xiao Ling's body.
Suddenly, puffs of dust-like material appeared all around, but it did not have much of an impact on the surrounding area.
The black-clad figure among them trembled, clearly sensing that something was amiss.
But at that moment, while the other party was briefly distracted, Xiao Ling had already flashed to a distance of a hundred feet.
Seeing that his attack had missed once again, the black-clad Saint Realm expert did not continue to pursue Xiao Ling, but instead chose to disappear into the surroundings again.
only.
This time, the other side is really delusional.
It had just disappeared into the void when a bright light was clearly visible on its body.
"Lu Bu!"
Upon seeing that the other party's figure had been exposed, Xiao Ling immediately shouted to Lü Bu, "Suppress this person immediately!"
Swish! ! !
Lu Bu instantly charged towards the black-clad saint.
"How can it be!"
The black-clad Saint Realm cultivator trembled as he watched Lu Bu charge straight toward him.
It was obvious that his body had been exposed.
Lu Bu, without restraint, unleashed his full power as a fifth-grade Saint, and swiftly attacked his opponent.
Bang! ! !
The halberd came crashing down with tremendous force.
The black-clad saint had nowhere to hide and could only take a direct hit from Lu Bu's halberd strike.
The two attacks collided, and the terrifying power instantly sent the black-clad saint flying.
"Thieves, please leave!"
With a single strike of his halberd, Lü Bu once again relentlessly pursued him.
The two had only exchanged a few blows, and under Lu Bu's attacks, the opponent was already clearly at a disadvantage, barely able to dodge and defend.
"die!"
Lu Bu brought his halberd down, and the attack, radiating overwhelming bloodlust, instantly struck the body of the black-clad saint.
"Apoof!"
The other party coughed up blood, and his entire figure was too weak to continue standing in the sky, so he fell to the ground.
The overwhelming force caused a deep crater to form in the imperial palace square below.
Upon closer inspection, the black-clad saint was found sprawled out in a disheveled state.
Lu Bu was about to strike and deliver a fatal blow.
Xiao Ling intervened: "Wait, leave one alive."
