Chapter 393: 393, [Use Magic to Defeat Magic] (Third update supplement)
The sound was thunderous, echoing throughout the entire field.

After eliminating the fire snakes in the sky, a ray of light quickly swept across the horizon, flying towards the distant “Second Priest”.

A man in black robes, holding a sword sheath, leaped from a boat of a leaf and arrived in front of the Boundary Monument surrounded by flames.

“Lu… Lu Xun!” The Boundary Monument stammered.

While its tone was joyous, its voice was trembling slightly.

It seems that although the flames cannot harm its foundation, they must be causing it quite some pain.

Not being seriously injured doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.

Lu Xun glanced at the sword sheath in his hand and asked, “Can it absorb the flames?”

Instead of sucking the flames into itself, the sword sheath released a wisp of “Divine Fire”.

It seemed to sense something.

Instantly, the flames on the Boundary Monument rushed towards this wisp of “Divine Fire”, as if they had found a place to call home!

In this manner, all the flames on the Boundary Monument rushed towards the “Divine Fire”, engulfing it and forming a massive fireball.

——Like the fierce sun on earth!

Lu Xun looked up at Dida and asked, “Are you okay?”

Dida replied, “It… it’s a little painful, but… but I’m okay.”

Listening to this trembling voice, Lu Xun felt a pang in his heart.

With a wave of his sleeve, a green pearl popped out of the sword sheath.

Without considering whether the energy inside the green pearl was useful for a stone monument, he simply pulled it out and guided it into the Boundary Monument.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered a stream of green energy operating within the Boundary Monument, which directly expelled the energy from the green pearl.

This green energy was nourishing the Boundary Monument on its own, without needing Lu Xun’s intervention.

That put him at ease.

After returning the green pearl to the sword sheath, Lu Xun turned his head to look at the large fireball hovering in the sky.

The flames were very active, rotating around the “Divine Fire,” showing no sign of leaving.

Being quite close, Lu Xun felt extremely hot.

He tried to move the “Divine Fire” within the flames and found that the flames drawn from the Boundary Monument moved along with it.

They seemed very sticky.

They held the “Divine Fire” tightly, extremely tightly, without leaving any gaps.

Although he wasn’t sure why, it signaled that he could control them!

So, what was he waiting for?

Lu Xun turned around, his eyes glinting coldly, at the distant hill.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the wisp of “Divine Fire” quickly flew towards the figure on that hill.

The entire massive fireball flew through the air at an unhurried speed.

Your flame is powerful, but now it is mine.

“Take this Great Fireball Technique of mine!” Lu Xun muttered in his heart.

…

…

Earlier on, a prompt message had popped up in front of Lu Xun.

“Ding! You have discovered the trace of the doppelgänger of the Foreign Race “Second Priest”, and can submit the mission to any Elder or higher-level NPC from the Seven Great Sects nearby.”

When Lu Xun saw this prompt, he was a bit dumbfounded.

How could he stumble upon this!?

Isn’t this a case of there being no avoiding an enemy!? More like a disastrous connection!

If it weren’t for the fact that we were all seniors, I would doubt if the plot would follow the blood-filled drama seen on the screen, the kind of love-hate relationships between enemies.

Immediately after, Lu Xun saw the second prompt.

“Ding! Would you like to submit your mission to the closest Demon Sect NPC “Lu Xun”?”

Lu Xun: “…”

Was this the legendary self-submission?

Although he had some harsh words in mind, he chose to “Submit Mission” silently anyway.

After completing the mission, he received Experience Points and Demon Sect Reputation Value. Of course, the mission rewards also mentioned the possibility of gaining the NPCs’ favorability, but he didn’t get that.

Narcissism is narcissism, but increasing one’s own favorability, that would be too miraculous.

Then, the series of events that happened afterward unfolded one after another.

The “Sword Qi is Near” was quick in response, directly charging towards the three fire snakes in the sky.

After exterminating them, it went straight to the Second Priest.

This peerless sword once again helped Lu Xun greatly.

Therefore, even though Lu Xun was not in the best state, he couldn’t help but say a good word about the “Sword Qi is Near” to the sword sheath:

“It is actually not bad.”

Upon hearing this, the sword sheath swung around in the air, though it was unclear what it meant.

Ye Sui’an stood aside, watching Lu Xun rescue the Western State Border monument, and finally let out the breath he was holding.

“I owe Elder Lu another tremendous favor!” He thought to himself.

“How can I ever repay all these favors?” Ye Sui’an was somewhat distressed for a while.

However, very soon, his attention was caught by Lu Xun’s “Great Fireball Technique”.

Watching Lu Xun manipulate the fireball that was like the sun, he was left dumbfounded.

“How did Elder Lu achieve this!?” he was astounded.

Soon, the fireball controlled by the “Divine Fire” became part of the battle on the hillside.

Atop the hill, the Second Priest eyed the Sword of the Ages, his expression grave.

Just a slight brush against it almost caused his left arm to be severed.

If his real body was here, he might have been able to fight. But the problem was he was merely a projection.

“How could there be such a sword in the world!?”

“It possesses such power even without a wielder!”

The Sword Qi is Near could be compared to Yan Li without his sword. Simply put, before Yan Li closed himself for cultivation, he was evenly matched with his sword using only his palms.

The Sword Qi is Near was outrageously powerful in its own right. The ultimate sword raised through a level 10 Sword Cultivating Technique wasn’t a joke!

“Lu Xun! It’s Lu Xun again!” The Second Priest was so angry that he wanted to roar up to the heavens.

“Urchin! How dare you constantly ruin my plans!” The Second Priest was inflamed with rage.

This fury was normative, because the current Lu Xun was only a cultivator within the Third Realm, seen as a weakling in his eyes.

Strong people always feel anger firstly, not a sense of defeat when they are repeatedly stymied by individuals they perceive as weaker.

He recited a few soundless characters from his mouth, and the dark red gemstone on the scepter shone brilliantly and transformed into a barrier, attempting to resist The Sword Qi is Near.

From this stance, it could be said that the Second Priest is a true sorcerer.

The scepter even looked a bit like a magician’s staff now.

The Sword Qi is Near hovered in front of the dark red barrier, emitting a sword cry.

If described in the currently popular saying, this sword cry carried a third part of jest, arrogance, and rebellion…

Naturally, no one could fully understand this ‘foreign language’.

Even Lu Xun, who was ingrained with the Body Refining Sword technique, could only guess what it meant most of the time when he heard the sword cry.

The very next moment, The Sword Qi is Near moved.

Its speed was extraordinarily fast, not giving anyone time to react.

Just a single blade of Sword Qi easily broke through this dark red barrier.

Following immediately, it slashed towards the Second Priest.

It recognized him from the confrontation where the Red Jade Ring was destroyed, revealing a shadow figure.

The appearance of this man was deeply imprinted in the heart of The Sword Qi is Near. It vowed that if it encountered him, it would surely not let him die peacefully!

His Soul Devouring Flame almost ruined the sword sheath!

Because of him, it almost became a widower!

It’s no big deal that my wife wants a divorce. That’s my own problem.

You want to kill my wife, then I cannot endure it.

Let me tell you now how to spell death!

Oh, hold on. I don’t know how to spell death.

But it doesn’t matter. I know what I have to do.

Seeing The Sword Qi is Near closing in, the Second Priest immediately raised his “Scepter”, reciting wordless characters from his mouth in attempts to resist.

The Sword Qi is Near didn’t even pay attention to the “Scepter”. Its first goal was to take the man’s life!

It turned into a light streak in an instant, dodging the “Scepter”, only to attack the Second Priest from another angle.

“Puff–” There was a sound, and The Sword Qi is Near pierced him directly.

A dark red light mass was produced from the Second Priest’s body. What The Sword Qi is Near penetrated was only a layer of skin!

This technique was somewhat like the “Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell”.

The light mass dispersed in the blink of an eye, like a group of fireflies scattering in all directions.

But The Sword Qi is Near was just too fast. Even if he managed to flee using this method, The Sword Qi is Near could still take half his life!

Nearly half of the tiny light particles were destroyed by the terrifying Sword Qi, and the remaining light particles flew away quickly, disappearing without a trace.

And that “Scepter” left behind was already turned into a dark red flame, shooting towards some of the light particles.

The Sword Qi is Near flashed a sword light, which only grazed it and took a part of the flaming “Scepter” away.

Just at that moment, a thread of black flame arrived conveniently at this place!

—”Divine Fire”!

This thread of “Divine Fire” was enveloped by intense flames produced by the “Scepter”. Now, however, it followed the “Divine Fire” and attacked the flaming “Scepter” from which a part was severed!

“To defeat magic, you must use magic!” Far away, controlling the “Divine Fire”, Lu Xun muttered to himself.

The two fireballs collided in an instant and then exploded instantaneously like they were annihilating each other.

The “Scepter”, which had already been damaged by Sword Qi, was destroyed in this way.

Beneath the boundary monument, Ye Sui’an watched this magical scene in awe, his mouth barely able to close.

Could…could it still be used this way?

He didn’t know that the “Divine Fire” controlled by Lu Xun was also derived from the Second Priest.

It was transformed from the Soul Devouring Flame and became an additional attribute of the sword sheath.

This is equivalent to using one of the Second Priest’s treasures to destroy his other treasure.

Lu Xun glanced at the stunned Ye Sui’an who had his mouth wide open and spoke indifferently:

“To use the way of the enemy, to apply it to the enemy, that’s all.”
