Chapter 519: Chapter 451: Bone-Eroding Wind

"Lord... Lord Bai?!"

Lu Wu stared at Bai Yuan, who stood not far in front of him, his eyes wide with surprise.

He never would have expected it.

For Bai Yuan to actually appear here.

Ah Du Mu froze, warily eyeing the stranger before him. His intuition told him this man was incredibly strong!

"General Lu."

Bai Yuan nodded at Lu Wu.

Encountering Lu Wu in Ximo was also beyond his expectations.

He had led his troops to this location. If his senses hadn’t been far superior to those of an ordinary Mingxin Grandmaster, he likely wouldn’t have been able to find Lu Wu.

Before leaving the Zhenxi Army, Lu Wu had already requested to lead the vanguard.

He had clearly encountered a powerful expert from Ximo and fled to this place.

"Lord Bai, be careful."

Lu Wu warned.

"Alright."

In the next instant, Bai Yuan appeared in front of Lu Wu.

’What a fast Body Technique!’

It wasn’t just Lu Wu; even Ah Du Mu was stunned by Bai Yuan’s move. He knew he couldn’t perform such a technique—covering ten zhang in an instant, a feat that was almost like a Divine Power.

Ah Du Mu stared coldly at Bai Yuan.

He didn’t stop Lu Wu from getting closer to Bai Yuan.

’There’s a Xuanyang Army to the west, be on the lookout...’

The intelligence he’d received before leaving the Ximo Alliance Army’s main tent echoed in his mind. He never expected the expert leading this army would be a Mingxin Grandmaster.

The two faced off for a long time, the only sound the whistling of wind and sand.

Ah Du Mu slowly spoke, "You’re Bai Yuan?"

Only then did Bai Yuan properly size up his opponent. "You don’t need to know."

Just as Lu Wu thought a huge battle was about to erupt—

Ah Du Mu’s feet shifted backward an imperceptible half-step.

"You’re a worthy opponent. See you on the battlefield!"

With that, he actually prepared to turn and dart away.

Even before the campaign began, he had heard of Bai Yuan’s name. Spies planted in the Zhenxi Army had already sent intelligence that Bai Yuan was with them.

Ah Du Mu’s speed increased.

Bai Yuan had the achievement of killing Jiu Moshi. He had no desire to fight Bai Yuan to the death alone.

’Once I get back to the main tent, I’ll bring back other experts to surround and kill him.’

’Besides, Bai Yuan has soldiers with him. He can’t get far.’

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind him. "Since you’re here, there’s no need to leave!"

Instantly!

A terrifying aura erupted from behind him, one that even suppressed the raging sandstorm.

The hairs on the back of Ah Du Mu’s neck stood on end.

He thrust a palm violently toward the sky, just in time to collide with the sole of Bai Yuan’s foot as he descended from above.

His body sank into the sand.

Ah Du Mu’s brows furrowed slightly.

’This Profound Person’s strength is absurd!’

That brief exchange felt like a small mountain had crashed down on his head. If he weren’t also skilled in physical combat techniques, he would have suffered a major loss.

Bai Yuan, however, landed as lightly as a feather upon the yellow sand.

Then, he leaped up once more.

His fists rained down toward Ah Du Mu.

Ah Du Mu snorted coldly and suddenly drew the long saber from his back.

This saber was quite unique.

It was very different from the sabers common to Xuan Yang. Not only was it a full five feet long, but its blade was lined with sawtooth-like notches, and it exuded a bone-chilling air.

Ah Du Mu gripped the saber with both hands and slashed violently through the air.

A translucent arc of blade energy, carrying with it a swirl of yellow sand, formed a shocking crescent as it rushed toward Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan neither dodged nor evaded, instead meeting Ah Du Mu’s slash head-on with his own body.

The blade energy collided with flesh.

The former dissipated into nothingness. As if completely unaffected, Bai Yuan’s fists were already descending upon Ah Du Mu’s head.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion rang out.

Bai Yuan’s punch sent Ah Du Mu flying.

Soaring through the air, Ah Du Mu stared at Bai Yuan with eyes full of disbelief.

’Is this the kind of strength a human can possess?’

Even the Earth Lizards of Ximo, feared for their incredible strength, seemed unable to compete with the man before him.

’He’s invincible!’

Ah Du Mu quickly made a decision.

The moment he hit the ground, he forced himself to take a breath, suppressing the roiling turmoil in his chest, and his body transformed into a streak of black light, shooting east across the Great Desert.

"Trying to run?"

Bai Yuan reached a hand behind his back.

The bundle he carried fell apart.

The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, interwoven with black and gold patterns, was now in his grasp. He hooked the string with his right fingers, and the muscles in his right arm swelled to twice their size, bulging like coiled dragons.

SWOOSH!

An invisible arrow shot straight toward Ah Du Mu’s back.

Ah Du Mu, still flying through the air, was struck in the back by the arrow and plummeted to the ground.

His escape was cut short.

The distance between him and Bai Yuan closed in an instant.

Staring at Bai Yuan, now only thirty zhang away, Ah Du Mu sucked in a cold breath.

’What in the world is that bow?’

A bow without arrows was actually able to harm him. It was simply inconceivable.

He got to his feet and tried to run again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Yuan raised the bow and fired another shot.

Though the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow wasn’t at its most lethal without arrows, it could still act as an extension of his arm, capable of obstructing enemies from great distances.

A look of deep apprehension crossed Ah Du Mu’s face.

’This is the only way.’

Strange, blood-red patterns lit up on his chest, and his entire aura surged dramatically.

Bai Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’A Ximo Secret Technique!’

He had long since heard of this method from his Master, Xu Dingchun. Over the course of ten thousand years of evolution, besides improving their physical combat techniques, another extremely important branch of Ximo’s development was their Secret Techniques.

These Secret Techniques shared some similarities with the Witchcraft of the Southern Border.

However, the Secret Techniques were more focused on self-enhancement. If one was willing to pay the price, they could boost their Qi and Blood in the middle of a battle, causing a great surge in strength.

The veins on Ah Du Mu’s head bulged.

Clearly, using the Secret Technique was not easy on him.

"You forced my hand!"

Suddenly—

The phantom of a palace fell from the nine heavens, crashing directly onto Ah Du Mu’s physical body.

The Secret Technique came to an abrupt halt.
