Peerless Taoist

An old man with a gloomy expression appeared behind Lu Yu.    

This old man looked ordinary, like an old farmer. However, under his already pale hair, his muddy eyes had already turned red.    

The surging devilish energy could no longer be suppressed. At this moment, it condensed around the old man, lingering around him.    

Boom!    

Lu Yu was about to escape to a mountain in the distance, but with a casual palm of the old man, the mountain in front of him collapsed with a loud bang. Broken stones flew out and froze in the air, unable to fall down.    

"His mastery of the spatial zone has reached an unimaginable level!" Lu Yu's heart was greatly shaken.    

The elder took a step forward, and the distance between him and Lu Yu was getting closer and closer.    

"I can only take another risk and use the Immortal Execution Sword!"    

Lu Yu turned around and pointed in the direction of the elder. The Immortal Execution Sword flew out from the void and pierced through the void.    

Boom!    

As soon as the sword appeared, everything in front of him turned into an illusion. Everything in front of him was occupied by the white light of immortal Qi.    

"Que Hou actually taught you his most prized technique. It seems like you are indeed Que Hou's disciple. Furthermore, your status is not low. Capturing you back will definitely be a great merit!"    

The old man was even more excited, and he raised his hand to slap the Immortal Slaying Sword.    

Another loud noise was heard. The huge pitch-black palm condensed by the old man collided with the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.    

The Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, which had always been successful, started to melt under this palm. Eventually, it gradually dissipated.    

Lu Yu let out a muffled groan. He had already surpassed his current limit by forcefully using the Immortal Slaying Sword.    

Even if he used his true body, he could only use the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi once when he was at his peak.    

"Come with me obediently. I don't intend to kill you anymore. Only by capturing you as a hostage can you maximize your usefulness."    

The old man raised his hand and grabbed Lu Yu.    

However, just as his pitch-black hand was about to reach out, it was blocked by a ball of flames.    

At the critical moment, Lu Yu cast out the true form of Zhu Rong.    

"Kid, you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. However, these tricks of yours will only anger me, and won't affect me." The old man said with a cold smile. His hand actually passed through the Zhu Rong fire and pressed on Lu Yu's shoulder.    

In an instant, Lu Yu felt as if half of his body had lost all feeling, as if he was in an ice cave.    

"Then, you, try this!"    

The phantom of the Underworld God behind Lu Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden flames onto the old man's body.    

This was the Heavenly Emperor True Fire.    

This was Lu Yu's last resort. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Yu would never use it.    

The Heavenly Emperor's True Fire could burn everything in the world. At least, it could buy him some time to escape even if he didn't kill this old man.    

However, the moment the flame landed on the old man's body, he suddenly let out a shrill scream.    

"No! This is the true fire of a Golden Immortal! In fact, it's even stronger!"    

"How is this possible!? How is this possible!?"    

"I..."    

The old man's voice was extremely hoarse. After being covered by the golden flames, it was as though firewood had been touched by the flames. Instantly, his entire body was engulfed in raging flames.    

He began to struggle with all his might, but the flames seemed to have recognized him, and would not stop until he was burnt to death.    

After a while, the black Qi on the old man's body gradually dissipated, and the golden flames also disappeared.    

A wisp of flame burned the old man's flesh and soul.    

"The Celestial Thearch True Flame seems to be more effective against these demonic beasts." Lu Yu took a deep breath. He was also shocked by the scene in front of him.    

Ding!    

Lu Yu's waist plate once again flashed with a bright light.
