Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1656: Chapter 1653: The Failed Ambush

"Ancestor, it seems this boy has an extremely powerful space treasure on him, allowing him to escape with it," Lu Jianxing originally cooperated with two clan elders to deal with Jiang Yao. Seeing Yang Fei vanish, he couldn’t help but immediately remind them.

The decision made by the Lu Family in Qinghe County this time was heavily influenced by Lu Jianxing’s secret maneuvers.

This interception of Jiang Yao and Yang Fei was also due to Lu Jianxing repeatedly mentioning to Lu Guangyuan about the treasures on Yang Fei, as well as Yang Fei’s special status on Earth.

Originally, after the ancestor activated the Golden Lock Heaven-Trapping Array, even a powerhouse like Jiang Yao couldn’t break free, so Lu Jianxing didn’t expect Yang Fei to escape under these circumstances.

Especially since the ancestor was himself a master at the Divinity Transformation Realm level, who had some control over Space Law. If Yang Fei used a space treasure, Lu Jianxing instinctively thought the ancestor could easily capture him, making his powerful treasures useless.

Yet, he never expected that Yang Fei could still escape right under the ancestor’s nose in this situation.

If Yang Fei escapes, what is the point of today’s interception?

Capturing Yang Fei is the most important task, like holding the emperor to command the vassals; only by controlling Yang Fei could the Lu family have more leverage.

Even while the Shang Qing Sect is temporarily not in ruins, and the Wangxian Sect is focusing more on dealing with Shang Qing Sect and guarding against Shifang City, if the Lu family controls Yang Fei, they can take this opportunity to gain more benefits from Earth.

Now that Yang Fei has escaped, even if they kill Jiang Yao, what benefits can they gain?

Killing Jiang Yao would only completely offend the Lingxiao Sect. If the ancestor Zhao Yunzhi of the Lingxiao Sect does not die in this war or is not seriously injured, then the Lu family will face the mad retaliation of a late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm master.

Within the Golden Lock Heaven-Trapping Array, Jiang Yao, seeing Lu Guangyuan going after Yang Fei, was extremely anxious but was constrained by the strong formation and had to deal with the attack from three Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses, leaving him unable to help.

He thought Yang Fei would fall into Lu Guangyuan’s hands, but unexpectedly, Yang Fei pulled off such a move at the critical moment.

He was both shocked and delighted, with a cold glint in his eyes. The Qianyuan Sword madly pierced out, repelling one of the Lu Family Nascent Souls, and he mocked, "Lu Guangyuan, your Lu family wants to take advantage of the situation and capture Little Daoist Yang Fei, but this plan seems to be falling through."

Lu Guangyuan was still using his powerful Divine Sense to search the surrounding void.

He still couldn’t believe Yang Fei could escape right under his nose within the Golden Lock Heaven-Trapping Array.

Upon hearing Jiang Yao’s mocking, Lu Guangyuan’s face turned extremely gloomy.

He glanced at Jiang Yao, killing intent rising.

Since the Lu family has already taken this step, they must go all the way, first killing Jiang Yao to eliminate a future threat for the Lu family descendants.

"Pa!"

Just at this moment.

A crisp whip sound rang out in the void, causing everyone’s Divine Sense to tense.

Lu Guangyuan’s pupils shrank, and his powerful Divine Sense inexplicably feared to probe, so he quickly turned his head to look.

Then, he saw an incredible scene.

Yang Fei, who had just disappeared right under his nose, appeared in the sky a hundred meters away.

That boy was wielding a silver-white long whip, and the whip lashed out, the end striking the void not far above Lu Jianxing’s head.

Being a mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, Lu Jianxing was extremely perceptive and immediately noticed Yang Fei upon his sudden appearance.

Back when he first met Yang Fei, Yang Fei was only at middle-stage Core Formation Cultivation. When Yang Fei discovered him that day, he fled immediately, and although Lu Jianxing chased, thinking he could easily capture Yang Fei, he didn’t expect Yang Fei to rely on a mysterious, powerful space treasure to escape, leaving Lu Jianxing fruitless.

Now Yang Fei is already at late-stage Core Formation, but as a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, how could Lu Jianxing take Yang Fei seriously?

Seeing the opponent appearing and seemingly wanting to surprise attack him, Lu Jianxing was both angry and amused, ready to teach him a lesson.

However, it was Lu Jianxing’s decision to confront Yang Fei head-on that caused him to miss the opportunity to avoid the Soul Binding Rope attack initially.

In fact, given his mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm, the safest move would have been to use the short-range Instant Teleportation Technique to escape instantly, widening the distance with Yang Fei.

However, he underestimated the power of Yang Fei’s treasure.

When the Soul Binding Rope lashed out, with that crisp whip sound filling his ears, Lu Jianxing’s mind buzzed, feeling like the door to his Sea of Consciousness was forcibly pried open, and his Divine Soul was grasped tightly by an invisible hand, being forcibly dragged out of his Sea of Consciousness.

What a domineering Soul Capturing Technique!

Even though his Divine Sense is strong and his Divine Soul is sturdy, while Yang Fei is only at the peak of late-stage Core Formation, Yang Fei’s Divine Sense strength is comparable to the peak of early-stage Nascent Soul, and even rivals the Divine Sense strength of an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul.

Under such Divine Sense strength, how could the power of the Soul Binding Rope be confronted head-on by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?

Lu Jianxing quickly stabilized his state of mind, trying to steady his Divine Soul.

However, another whip sound reached his ears.

In a flash, Yang Fei’s Soul Binding Rope cracked twice, prying open Lu Jianxing’s Sea of Consciousness space door the first time, and the second whip securely struck his body.

When the Soul Binding Rope wrapped around Lu Jianxing’s body, he completely lost the chance to resist.

His desperately guarded Divine Soul was forcibly dragged out of his Sea of Consciousness space by the terrifying Soul Capturing Power, on the verge of being sucked into the Soul Suppressing Space of the Soul Binding Rope, to be thoroughly suppressed.

"Open!"

At this moment, a thunderous roar came through.

Yang Fei felt a scorching pain in the handle of the Soul Binding Rope.

At the same time, there was a buzzing in his mind, as he suffered a certain degree of backlash.

What a powerful Divine Sense attack!

Yang Fei was startled.

This roar just now was from Lu Guangyuan.

Seeing his clan’s descendant’s Divine Soul about to be extracted and suppressed, Lu Guangyuan, though intimidated by the Soul Binding Rope’s dominant power, didn’t hesitate, attacking at the critical moment.

The Divine Sense of a Divinity Transformation Realm master is incredibly powerful, and this strike nearly overwhelmed the Soul Binding Rope.

But if the Soul Binding Rope hadn’t helped absorb most of the Divine Sense impact, the backlash Yang Fei suffered would have been even more terrifying, likely severely injuring his Divine Sense, or even directly crippling him.

"Huff!"

Taking advantage of the momentary loosening of the Soul Capturing Power of the Soul Binding Rope, the pale-faced Lu Jianxing swiftly used the Nascent Soul Sword Control Skill to flash and evade, barely escaping with his life.

Damn!

Yang Fei cursed silently.

When Lu Jianxing pursued him before, if it weren’t for the special function of the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, Yang Fei would have fallen into Lu Jianxing’s hands years ago. So after escaping from Lu Guangyuan, Yang Fei immediately returned to the scene, relying on his current control of the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to teleport himself based on memory to Lu Jianxing’s nearest position, launching a surprise attack.

He intended to suppress him with the surprise attack but didn’t expect Lu Guangyuan to ruin his plan again.
