56: Beaten half to death

“Who is this person?” Lu Chen quietly transmitted his voice, asking Dong Cungang, who had spoken halfway and then shut up.

There are no unprovoked provocations, unless this person is sick. This question is very necessary.

“Fan Sheng, one of Li Jinyi's men.” Dong Cungang responded in a muffled voice, reminding, “Li Jinyi is one of our Sword Fighting Peak Lord's five registered Disciples. You figure it out yourself.”

‘So he's a registered Disciple of the Peak Lord's Third Elder. No wonder Dong Cungang suddenly went silent!’ Lu Chen realized, already having a plan in mind.

He wasn't arrogant or condescending, nor did he look down on others, but this didn't mean anyone could just step on him!

If you tolerate this kind of thing once, there might be countless times afterward. Therefore, when it first appears, you must ruthlessly nip this bad tendency in the bud.

Then, let's beat him half to death!

Just as Lu Chen was about to make a move, he suddenly asked another question, “What Realm is this Fan Sheng in?”

Dong Cungang: “Late Xuan Fa Realm, very strong. Don't force it.”

Lu Chen nodded seriously, “Okay.”

The next moment, he pushed aside the Doujian Peak Disciples and strode towards Fan Sheng, who stood with his hands behind his back and a cold expression.

With the first step, ten Silver Armor Dao Soldiers appeared behind Lu Chen. Beneath the earth, Earth Element surged, transforming into a rolling river of Earth Element, covering the Dao Soldiers and turning into hard stone armor.

With the second step, ten more Silver Armor Dao Soldiers appeared behind Lu Chen.

The third step, ten more Silver Armor appeared. The surging Earth Element continuously churned and poured towards the Dao Soldiers. The Dao Soldiers, now over a zhang tall, numbered thirty and followed Lu Chen's footsteps in unison.

Lu Chen took a step, and the thirty Silver Armor Dao Soldiers took a step. That inexplicable Aura and sense of oppression immediately spread, as if heavenly generals had emerged from an Ancient battlefield, leading heavenly soldiers to attack, captivating the soul.

Especially since Lu Chen didn't say a word, the thirty Dao Soldiers covered in stone armor were even more cold and 肅殺, without a trace of life, making people not even dare to breathe loudly.

“So Junior Brother Lu's Puppets aren't stone figures. It's just that he used some mysterious method to refine them, which gave these Puppets the ability to draw upon Earth Element!” Some Disciples watched as the metallic-colored Dao Soldiers, which looked like they were cast from dark silver, were covered in stone armor, lost in thought.

‘This is how normal Puppets should look! However, Junior Brother Lu's Puppet Technique doesn't seem to be fully mastered yet. Those powerful Puppet Techniques can refine Puppets completely into human form, looking and feeling identical to human skin, with no precious metal Materials visible inside.’

Some Disciples were also startled: “Junior Brother Lu has such a temper?” Fan Sheng had just said something disgusting to Lu Chen, and it looked like Lu Chen already had the idea of beating Fan Sheng to death.

‘Usually, this Junior Brother Lu seems very easy to get along with!’

Not arrogant, nor coldly distant, who would have thought that this Junior Brother Lu also had such a violent side, ready to strike at the slightest disagreement.

Dong Cungang watched Lu Chen's figure advancing step by step with thirty Dao Soldiers, his face twitching uncontrollably: “This... is the ‘Okay’ you promised?”

What happened to agreeing not to force it?

With the fourth step, a thirty-first Dao Soldier appeared beside Lu Chen. The difference was that this Dao Soldier was entirely dark gold in color and exceptionally tall, exceeding one zhang.

This was a Golden Armor Dao Soldier.

Even more majestic Earth Element surged from beneath the earth, transforming into thick stone armor on this Golden Armor Dao Soldier, making the already extremely tall Golden Armor Dao Soldier even more astonishing.

“I kindly brought you into the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, and this is how you respond?” A hint of mockery appeared at Fan Sheng's cold lips.

Lu Chen slowly stopped, replying indifferently, “I have a bad temper. If you want to stir up trouble, then I'll just have to beat you until you can't speak!”

“Your temper cultivation is quite poor!” Fan Sheng said playfully, “But it's not wrong either, young and impetuous, it should be like this!”

He changed the subject, looking at the thirty Silver Armor Dao Soldiers and one Golden Armor Dao Soldier behind Lu Chen: “But, with these Puppets of yours that don't even have sentience, you can't do anything to me. Furthermore, if your strength isn't enough, no matter how unpleasant my words are, you have to endure them. Too much temper will only hurt yourself.”

By the end, his words held a deep meaning.

Lu Chen was too lazy to say more to him. He simply raised his hand and waved forward, saying, “Attack.”

“Boom!” The Golden Armor Dao Soldier's tall figure instantly turned into an afterimage and vanished without a trace. When it reappeared, it was already throwing a punch towards Fan Sheng's head.

At the same moment, vast Earth Element surged from beneath the ground, transforming into streams of Earth Element Giant Pythons, fiercely crashing towards Fan Sheng.

“Petty tricks.” Fan Sheng sneered, pointed his fingers like a sword, and said, “Go!”

In an instant, Flying Swords soared, transforming into sharp sword energy. Sword energy also materialized, endlessly proliferating, seemingly turning into thousands in an instant, finally gathering like clouds in the sky. Just the surge of Sword Intent completely cut down the rolling Earth Element.

“Myriad Transformation Sword Scripture!” A Doujian Peak Disciple whispered, recognizing Fan Sheng's sword technique.

This sword technique was immensely powerful, like clouds in the sky, unpredictable, and the sword energy was vast, like a heavenly net covering everything, omnipresent.

“Boom!” The vast sword energy swept forth, constantly changing, and instantly slammed onto the Golden Armor Dao Soldier.

“Clang clang...” The clanging of metal against metal echoed endlessly, but the Golden Armor Dao Soldier was completely unharmed. Only its fist stance changed drastically, as if endless malevolent energy had condensed and erupted. Furthermore, the mighty force of Earth Element, the violent nature of Fire Element, the unpredictable nature of Water Element, and the sharpness of Metal Element all gathered and merged into one punch.

Finally, this punch seemed to transform into the Kui Star among the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Stars, reaching the peak of ferocity and violence, with malevolent energy surging forth.

“Rumble!” With this punch, all the sword energy, whether like clouds in the sky, a covering heavenly net, or unpredictable, completely exploded and was extinguished by a single punch.

This punch was too fierce, especially coming from the hands of the Golden Armor Dao Soldier, who was over a zhang tall and had unparalleled physical strength. It was ferocious to the extreme, as if it could truly contend with a True Dragon.

“Boom!”

The power of one punch shattered ten thousand swords, its momentum still unstoppable. The malevolent energy remained fierce, as if it had stirred up the malevolent energy of heaven and earth, and in an instant, it reached Fan Sheng's face.

“Earthly Fiend Dragon Contention...” Fan Sheng's expression changed drastically, almost blurting it out. His previous indifference, arrogance, and mockery all vanished.

However, before he finished speaking, the astonishing malevolent force had arrived. Panicked, Fan Sheng's five fingers moved like lightning, instantly forming seals. At the same time, his body retreated rapidly, and a High Grade spiritual energy great shield appeared, silver-white in color. As his magic power surged, this High Grade spiritual shield blocked the Golden Armor Dao Soldier's punch.

“Rumble!” The terrifying Earth Element, Fire Element, Water Element, and Metal Element, along with boundless malevolent energy and the Golden Armor Dao Soldier's immense strength, exploded together. One punch sent this High Grade spiritual shield tumbling and shattering.

The Golden Armor Dao Soldier's strength was too immense, like a Vajra Venerable Deity descending, fierce and terrifying, still pursuing the retreating Fan Sheng.

“How could this be...” Fan Sheng's face changed again and again, already turning somewhat pale.

However, his words still hadn't finished when Silver Armor Dao Soldiers suddenly rushed out from beneath his feet, all grabbing his legs.

He couldn't move!

“Damn it!” Fan Sheng was furious, his entire body's magic power boiling as he tried to shake off the many Silver Armor Dao Soldiers.

But, terrifying malevolent force struck, and simultaneously, a huge fist arrived...
