In the dark forest, a battle of life and death was taking place.
Just as the five members of the Lu family were ready to receive Zhuang Yan's strongest attack, something unexpected happened.
Zhuang Yan disappeared after jumping high into the air. This scene stunned the Lu family members in front of him. Just as they were still in a daze, Lu Chen suddenly shouted from afar,
"Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, a swift saber light appeared behind the Lu family members who had been harassing Zhuang Yan.
" Puff!" The knife light slid across the back of his neck without any obstruction. The person was stunned on the spot, still maintaining the posture of turning his head to look.
Under the effect of inertia, a thin line of blood appeared on his neck and circled around it.
Then, the blood line thickened and began to drip down. Then, the head fell off and rolled a few times on the ground. Its expression froze at the moment of fear before death.
As his body fell, blood spurted out like a fountain, dyeing the surrounding vegetation red.
Zhuang Yan, on the other hand, continued to use the Divine Instant Step after killing this person. He broke out of the encirclement from this direction and then changed into the Carefree Wander. He leaped up like a rabbit and descended like an eagle, escaping towards the dense forest in the distance.
Lu Qi and the other Meridian Forging Realm cultivators were stunned on the spot, as if they could not believe what had happened in a flash.
"You're courting death!" With a roar, Lu Chen chased after Zhuang Yan. His speed was fast, but he was still slightly slower than Zhuang Yan.
After Zhuang Yan broke away from the encirclement, he didn't stop at all. He kept his head down and rushed forward, hoping to use the advantage of Carefree Travel to shake off the enemy.
"Chase after him. Be careful of his saber. It's very fast!”
After experiencing Zhuang Yan's ruthless saber technique once again, the chill in Lu Qi's heart still hadn't gone away. Although he was still secretly glad that the other party had only made a feint and he had escaped with his life, he quickly reacted and reminded him.
Lu Chen, who was the first to pursue Zhuang Yan, looked at the figure in front of him that was getting farther and farther away. He was very angry. He did not expect to be played by a person in the Pulse Forging Realm.
"Vast Bell Dao Diagram."
Seeing that he was about to lose Zhuang Yan's trace, Lu Chen could not be bothered to be angry anymore. He immediately used all his strength and released the Dao Map buff.
Otherwise, if he lost her like this, he would definitely be in deep trouble when he returned.
After the bell rang, Lu Chen's speed nearly doubled. There was a green bell above his head that illuminated the area within a radius of 30 feet. In an instant, the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than three meters.
Zhuang Yan, who had thought that he was about to escape, saw that the path ahead was illuminated by light and knew that it was not good. He tried his best to increase his speed by 10%, but he was still inferior to the enemy behind him.
Behind him, Lu Chen's right hand became crystal clear, as if it was forged from crystal. At the same time, a silver-white light lit up in his hand, like a bright moon.
Moon Probing Hand!
Looking at Zhuang Yan, who was just inches away from him, he did not hesitate and did not consider whether he should keep him alive. He directly imprinted his seal on it.
Zhuang Yan, who was running at full speed, felt a chill in his heart. He immediately sensed Lu Chen's attack.
At the critical moment, he used the Divine Instant Step again and slashed at Lu Chen's back. He wanted to use the same trick again.
However, Lu Chen seemed to have expected it. He turned around instantly and his right palm that was attacking immediately reversed to meet Zhuang Yan's knife.
The moment the saber and palm collided, the ball of light exploded and pressed down on Zhuang Yan. He felt a huge force coming at him, and the saber in his hand almost fell out of his hand.
Lu Chen's zhenqi landed on Zhuang Yan's body without any hindrance, sending him flying. He kept coughing up blood on the way, and with one blow, he was seriously injured.
The difference was still too big. After all, Lu Chen was an aperture opening state cultivator. It wasn't easy to fight someone of a higher level.
Although Zhuang Yan had the Primitive Jade Scripture, he had not cultivated for long and was not profound enough. Therefore, when he encountered a cultivator of a higher realm, it was still very difficult for him to resist.
Seeing that Zhuang Yan had fallen to the ground with serious injuries, Lu Chen put down his right hand and continued to hold the Light Pursuit Mirror in his left hand. He placed his hands behind his back, looking like an expert.
He had only used one hand when he fought Zhuang Yan just now. It was obvious that he still had some strength left. The difference in their realms was vividly reflected at this moment.
Not far away, Zhuang Yan, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to get up. However, after a few attempts, he quickly fell back down. He was probably seriously injured and weak.
At this moment, Lu Qi and the others, who had arrived late, saw Zhuang Yan, who had lost the ability to fight back. They did not look surprised at all. They quickly surrounded him again, intending to capture him, set up a restriction, and bring him back to the Lu family for Lu Huang to deal with.
Lu Chen slowly walked up and looked down at Zhuang Yan.
"Zhuang Yan, you're also from a large clan, so you should know that tempering your body is the foundation of cultivation. Look at your tender skin, I don't think you've laid a good foundation. I wonder what secret technique you used to have such combat strength. If you can hand over this secret technique, perhaps Young Master Lu Huang will let you go.”
Zhuang Yan, who was lying on the ground, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He held the knife and struggled to stand up. He looked at Lu Chen, ignoring the blood that kept flowing out of his mouth, and said,"Secret technique? You want it? Alright, I'll give it to you…but I don't know if you'll be able to live to take it.”
At first, Lu Chen thought that he was going to compromise and was about to change his words to appease him. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, his heart skipped a beat. A bad feeling arose and he wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
"Seal of Suppression!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge force that seemed to collapse the sky pressed down. The Lu family members who surrounded him suddenly felt a huge mountain pressing down on their bodies.
"Puff ~"
"Puff ~"
Other than Lu Chen, the other five people spat out blood and fell to the ground. The sound of bones breaking came from their bodies. At the same time, blood seeped out of their pores and their eyes popped out. They were in a terrible state.
Zhuang Yan, who had exploded again, was not in a good state. He spat out another mouthful of blood and endured the constant feeling of weakness.
Lu Chen, who was at the aperture opening state, was better than the others but he couldn't move at all. He could only circulate his true qi to resist.
The Vast Bell Dao Diagram three feet behind him became even brighter. He had probably used his full strength.
With the enhancement of the Dao diagram and his cultivation that had crossed a realm, he barely resisted the suppression of the Seal of Suppression and slowly stood up.
Although he could still move a little, he was definitely not in a good state. An unimaginable pressure was not only exerted on his body, but also his Genuine Qi, Blood Qi, and consciousness. They were all suppressed and slowed down.
This was the power of the immortal way of the Primitive Scripture. It was not just exerting a huge force, but an all-round suppression.
Looking at Lu Chen in a sorry state, Zhuang Yan did not dare to relax. He was already seriously injured. In addition, after a huge battle, he did not have much True Qi left. Therefore, now it was a battle of tenacity between the two of them. Whoever could last longer would win.
As for Lu Qi and the others, they were already dead.
Although the situation was in a stalemate, Zhuang Yan still had a slight advantage.
He raised his saber and slashed at Lu Chen's head. He wanted to take advantage of the moment when Lu Chen could move and the other party could not move to kill the enemy so that they would not fall into a stalemate. He could not guarantee that he would win. Moreover, he did not know if the other party had other reinforcements behind them.
However, dreams were full, but reality was hard. Zhuang Yan slashed his saber. Before he could touch Lu Chen, he saw the other party's Dao Map light up instantly, forming a divine bell that covered his body.
Lu Chen hid in the bell, blood flowing out of his mouth. He smiled bitterly and said,"Zhuang Yan, although I don't know what kind of divine ability you have, even I was almost killed by you. However, you're only in the Meridian Forging Realm after all. You definitely won't be able to break through the protective Dao diagram of my Vast Bell Secret Manual with conventional methods, unless you have other offensive methods that are equivalent to the divine power you just used. Hehe.”
