102: Capture Yechen

Hearing their conversation, the skinny man laughed, "You little brat, you react pretty fast! You were the one who ruined my plans last night, weren't you? My name is Ye Chen. What's your name, kid?"

Lu Xingchen said coldly, "Cangxuan Sect Outer Sect Disciple, Lu Xingchen, the one who will end you!"

Ye Chen sneered, "It's not certain who will end whom yet!"

Wan Dazhuang said in a deep voice, "Let's go together, knock out those civilians, don't let them interfere with us!"

"Yes, sir!"

The five low-star Martial Spirits brought by Wan Dazhuang immediately rushed towards Ye Chen.

Lu Xingchen and the other four did not move.

Rescuing the hostages was just a small matter; capturing Ye Chen was the main objective.

Two low-star Martial Spirits rushed into the crowd, intending to knock out two civilians.

Unexpectedly, the two civilians exploded directly!

That's right, they exploded.

Blood flowed, chunks of flesh flew everywhere, and the immense power directly killed the two low-star Martial Spirits.

Seeing this terrifying scene, the remaining three low-star Martial Spirits immediately stopped and quickly retreated.

Wan Dazhuang was greatly shocked and roared, "Ye Chen, what are you doing?"

Ye Chen laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! My Gu of Heart Devourment has reached Major Achievement. These civilians are all my human bombs. If I want to, I can create more!"

Wan Dazhuang cursed, "Despicable!"

Ye Chen said loudly, "Thank you for the compliment! Now, clear the way for me, otherwise, I will detonate more civilians!"

Wan Dazhuang panicked and turned to look at Li Gui.

"Young Friend Li Gui, what should we do?"

Li Gui was also indecisive and remained silent for a long time.

Lu Xingchen whispered, "Let him go. My Miao Zhu Fen (Mysterious Pearl Powder) can last for ten days; he can't escape!"

Wan Dazhuang nodded slightly and shouted loudly, "Open the city gates, let him go!"

The city gates of Nanjia City were opened, and Ye Chen led more than fifty civilians out of the city, with Lu Xingchen and the others following closely behind.

Outside the city, Ye Chen suddenly stopped.

"It's a bit unwilling to just run away like this. That guy, Lu Xingchen, right? You ruined my plans last night and almost made me fail. I can't just let you off like this!"

"Do you have a knife? Give yourself a stab! If your strength doesn't satisfy me, I'll just kill a few civilians randomly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked.

"Ye Chen, don't go too far! If you push us too hard, you won't be able to escape smoothly either!" Wan Dazhuang said angrily.

Li Gui also frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Lu, you don't have to listen to him. At worst, we don't care about these civilians, and we won't receive any punishment either."

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly.

"It's not time for a desperate fight yet, Senior Brother Li Gui, I can take it!"

With that, Lu Xingchen took out his shadow sword and stabbed himself in the abdomen.

The sword's edge pierced through his stomach, and blood flowed out.

Then Lu Xingchen violently pulled out the shadow sword.

In an instant, blood splattered.

Lu Xingchen used his battle Qi to stop the bleeding from the wound, but his face still turned exceptionally pale.

Seeing Lu Xingchen's miserable state, Ye Chen laughed excitedly.

"Hahahaha! Interesting, this is truly too interesting!"

Ye Chen said in a deep voice, "Now, get over here! I want to play with you slowly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen immediately walked unsteadily towards Ye Chen.

He was waiting for this moment.

Since Ye Chen would threaten him into self-harm, there was also a chance he would continue to humiliate him, thus providing an opportunity to get close to Ye Chen.

Although he wasn't entirely confident, it was worth a try.

If he could get close, he was confident he could take down Ye Chen in one move.

Even if he couldn't get close, taking a sword strike was fine; his rejuvenation pill wasn't refined for nothing.

Ye Chen was also careless.

When Lu Xingchen activated his battle Qi, he clearly felt Lu Xingchen's aura; he was merely a One-Star Martial Spirit.

And he had even stabbed himself, so whether he could survive was an issue, let alone harming himself.

Lu Xingchen passed through the crowd and arrived in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen directly kicked Lu Xingchen down.

Just as he was about to make another move, Lu Xingchen unleashed the "Startling Soul Roar."

A black skull head appeared on Lu Xingchen's chest and flew towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen sneered, "I knew you wouldn't be honest! A One-Star Martial Spirit, and you still want to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Chen was hit hard, spat out a mouthful of blood, fell heavily to the ground, and lost consciousness.

The more than fifty civilians he controlled also lost their power and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Xingchen let out a long breath and took out a rejuvenation pill from his Storage Ring, swallowing it in one gulp.

The wound on his stomach began to heal rapidly.

Ye Chen's Gu of Heart Devourment was indeed strange; as long as he had a thought, he could make the controlled civilians self-detonate.

Lu Xingchen didn't dare to gamble. If using the "Heaven Obliterating Seal" failed to kill him in one blow, those civilians would be in mortal danger.

So Lu Xingchen chose to use the "Startling Soul Roar."

Most ordinary Martial Spirit Realm Experts only had Soul Power at the Mortal Realm Middle Stage, and those who could reach the Mortal Realm Late Stage were considered exceptionally gifted.

But Lu Xingchen was an Alchemist, constantly tempering his Soul Power during Alchemy, and with the "Spirit Burning Art," his Soul Power had already reached Mortal Realm Great Perfection.

Using the "Startling Soul Roar" against Ye Chen would definitely succeed in one strike!

Li Gui and the others, as well as Wan Dazhuang, were not fools. Seeing the change, they immediately rushed forward.

Wan Dazhuang immediately crippled Ye Chen's hands and feet, then tied him up.

There was no need to be too polite with a perverted murderer.

Li Gui was more concerned about Lu Xingchen's safety, patted Lu Xingchen's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Lu, are you alright?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly.

"I'm fine. Senior Brother Li, don't worry, this wound looks big, but it avoided vital points. With the help of the rejuvenation pill, it will recover within half a day."

Only then did Li Gui relax.

"That's good, that's good. Junior Brother Lu, you really suffered this time!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It's nothing serious. I can't reason with a pervert, can I? As long as he's taken down, that's what matters!"

Li Gui nodded heavily.

"That's true."

Wan Dazhuang ordered his subordinates to handle the scene, while he himself took Lu Xingchen and the other four back to the City Lord's Mansion.

City Lord Wan smiled, "Thank you, Young Friends, for helping me catch this serial killer. The Disciples of Cangxuan Sect are indeed formidable!"

"Especially Young Friend Lu, the plan to capture Ye Chen was proposed by you, and Ye Chen was also taken down by you. I will definitely praise you heavily in my mission report to Cangxuan Sect!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Thank you, City Lord Wan. If there's nothing else, we'll return to the sect now."

Upon hearing this, City Lord Wan was slightly taken aback.

"I was planning to host a banquet to entertain you all. Would you like to have a drink before you leave?"
