He cursed, but in a flash, the Lesser Yin Immortal Monarch grabbed the still-reeling Dao Yan Immortal Monarch and retreated with the speed of a thunderclap.
RUMBLE!
Without the slightest hesitation, he threw out a wave of water and fire to block Lü Yang and his three protectors, then vanished in a streak of Flying Light.
Lü Yang saw this but didn't give chase. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and had Progenitor Tingyou and the other two stand guard. He had been on high alert the entire time; the moment he relaxed, his previously mended Dharma Body cracked open once more. Light of water and fire flowed out, gnawing at the wound and widening it like vermin.
'This is a bit tricky...'
Lü Yang's brow furrowed. The Water and Fire Tribulation had afflicted him both inside and out, clinging to his Dharma Body like a poison fused to his very bones. Even if he were to abandon this physical form, he wouldn't be able to erase its imprint.
