Chapter 429 Danger was approaching
Jayden lifted his head, looked directly at the sky, and responded coldly, "Lucas, all those years ago, I spared your life because cultivating psychic abilities was no easy feat."
"Now that you've just entered the Basic Mastery realm, you think you can come to Echo Mount and act recklessly?"
"I'll spare you once more. Leave now, and I'll let bygones be bygones!"
There was no further response from Lucas in the sky.
The sword was still gathering psychic energy, and the killing intent remained.
However, Jayden's heart was now filled with joy.
That Lucas, who had somehow become a Basic Mastery after all these years, couldn't wait to kill him.
This was precisely his opportunity!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This time, Lucas had acted recklessly and come directly to kill him.
If he were to win the battle and let Lucas go, their grudge could be settled.
"Seven thousand years of cultivating psychic abilities, and I've never had a real fight with anyone."
"Today, I'll let you see that the Daoism of Echo Mount is not to be trifled with!"
With his cold shout...
All the Echo Mount disciples looked in shock at the place where the Echo Mount Grand Elder was cultivating in seclusion.
Having cultivated psychic abilities in Echo Mount for so many years, even though the gate of Echo Mount was closed, the Grand Elder was still the most mysterious existence in their hearts!
Now, they finally witnessed the Grand Elder fighting someone.
They saw a formation suddenly rise above Echo Mount, and a Daoist figure slowly floated into the air.
It was Jayden of Echo Mount!
In midair above Echo Mount, due to the condensation of Jayden's psychic energy, natural energies gathered, forming tornadoes that caused strong winds to blow.
From all ten thousand locations within Echo Mount, pillars of light surged up, one after another, and poured into Jayden's body.
With Jayden as the center, a brilliant light shone.
The rules of wind permeated the entire Echo Mount, transforming into countless mystical birds, displaying auspicious signs, yet not lacking the power of Basic Mastery.
At this moment, the pressure of Basic Mastery was fully displayed.
A Basic Mastery Psychic who had cultivated for many years, using his full strength, was actually this terrifying!
Lucas's sword seemed so insignificant beneath the countless mystical birds in the sky.
"Basic Mastery, middle stage?!!"
The Celestial Star Swordmaster, who had originally returned with Lucas, was horrified.
He could sense the aura of the entire Echo Mount.
Jayden, who was originally at the early stage of Basic Mastery, had his aura strengthened as the mystical pillars of light appeared on Echo Mount!
How could Lucas, who had just entered the Basic Mastery realm, be a match for a middle-stage Basic Mastery Psychic?
"It's our Echo Mount's grand formation."
The Crimson Gate Syndicate Master frowned.
"The Grand Elder was not destined to reach Basic Mastery."
"Back then, if the previous Grand Elder hadn't infused him with his own cultivation base, allowing him to comprehend the rules, the Grand Elder would have at most reached the peak of Competent Force in this lifetime."
"The Grand Elder knew that it would be difficult for him to make further progress after becoming a Basic Mastery, so he has spent the past few thousand years using his psychic energy to fill the sect's formation."
"With Echo Mount's energy infusing his body, he is almost invincible within Echo Mount."
"Lucas... he shouldn't have come."
"But he said back then..."
A trace of worry flashed in the Crimson Gate Syndicate Master's eyes.
He knew very well that if Lucas died in Echo Mount, it would be a disaster.
"If it were anywhere else, it wouldn't be a big deal."
"But within Echo Mount, even if a middle-stage Basic Mastery, or even a peak Basic Mastery expert came personally, he wouldn't be afraid!"
"Echo Mount's energy is enough to temporarily grant him the psychic power of a middle-stage Basic Mastery."
"The entire Echo Mount can provide him with two more prime spirit techniques!"
"That technique in the sky, the Heavenly Birds, is one of them."
"Once trapped within the formation, there's nowhere to escape, and one's energy will be locked onto by the Heavenly Birds."
"The other one is..."
As the Crimson Gate Syndicate Master's voice fell, Jayden's aura in the sky erupted once more, instantly transforming into a streak of light and shadow!
At this moment, pressure descended, and a fierce wind swept through the entire Crimson Gate Syndicate.
The Crimson Gate Syndicate Master's face turned pale with horror.
"No good, this is the Grand Elder's second prime spirit technique, Light Splitting Wind Shadow!"
"This technique is a killing technique."
"Even the Grand Elder can't control it once it's used."
"I've seen him test it before."
"It's over... We're all doomed!"
The Crimson Gate Syndicate Master's face was ashen.
If Lucas died, the Crimson Gate Syndicate would surely be destroyed!
"What?!!"
The Celestial Star Swordmaster was also extremely anxious.
He could sense the terror of this technique.
The speed of wind was already fast enough, but the speed of light and shadow was even faster!
...
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Jayden couldn't help but curse inwardly!
He transformed into a streak of light and shadow, charging towards the sword in the sky.
He had thought that using the Clear Wind Formation would be enough to suppress Lucas, but he hadn't expected that once his Heavenly Bird technique was unleashed, he wouldn't be able to suppress the sword.
The oppressive killing intent forced him to use his full strength.
Once this [Light Splitting Wind Shadow] was unleashed, even he couldn't control it!
This technique could penetrate everything, including domains, high-grade mystical artifacts...
"Kill Lucas, and kill that arrogant Celestial Star Swordmaster as well."
"Then escape!"
Jayden gritted his teeth, no longer caring about the consequences!
Under the cover of light and shadow, his eyes turned cold as he locked onto Lucas's energy signature.
High up in the sky, tens of thousands of feet above...
There was a man carrying a sword case.
That was Lucas!
"You're the one who's courting death!"
...
High above, tens of thousands of feet in the air.
Lucas was floating.
Over a hundred years had passed, and now, returning to the Emerald Empire, returning to Sunshine Mansion, he seemed a little more world-weary.
He was wearing a coat that seemed to be made from the fur of a bear he had skinned, his messy long hair casually scattered over the bear fur on his shoulders.
He carried the sword case he had taken with him when he left Glory City.
Cultivating in the snowy region for many years hadn't made him too lonely, probably because he had company.
As Jayden rose into the air below, countless mystical birds locked onto his energy signature, surrounding the long sword that had fallen from the sky earlier.
Then, Jayden disappeared.
The mystical birds shattered one by one.
Jayden had reached the speed of light.
A domain formed below, slowly destroying the mystical birds and continuously rising!
With every snap of his fingers, he ascended ten meters.
Within a radius of ten miles, wherever Jayden passed, everything would be destroyed by his technique.
Even...
The psychic energy, domains, and high-grade mystical artifacts of a Basic Mastery Psychic.
But Lucas still didn't move, and it wasn't because he was suppressed by the psychic energy of the Heavenly Birds.
He remained calm and composed, gently stroking the sword case behind him.
Danger was approaching.
A gentle female voice came from within the sword case, "Lucas, this person's prime spirit technique borrows power from the entire Echo Mount."
"The mystical birds suppress the surroundings, while he transforms into light and shadow, sweeping across the area below."
"His killing power is extremely strong."
"However, this person is a good-for-nothing."
"While his attacks are powerful, he himself is vulnerable in his light and shadow form."
"If he really crashes into you, his physical body won't be able to withstand it, and he will surely die."
"Listen to me."
"I'll lend you some of my psychic energy."
"Break through the mystical bird formation and avoid his edge for now."
"When his technique ends and he's weakened, you can kill him..."
