131: Defeat Wang Jie

Lu Xingchen hastily took an invincible potion.

It was unknown when the experts from Blazing Sun City would arrive, but if he took a few more hits from him, he would surely die!

Just as Lu Xingchen took the invincible potion, the red-clothed man's next strike arrived.

This time, he used all his strength, aiming for a quick battle, but he couldn't break through Lu Xingchen's defense.

The red-clothed man frowned and said in a deep voice, "What did you drink just now, kid? You actually managed to cross ten minor Realms and block my attack!"

Lu Xingchen didn't reply, but instead charged up "Startling Soul Roar" and used "Jade Shatter."

The Realm gap between the two sides was too large. The invincible potion could only last for 30 seconds, and it could only be taken once a day.

As soon as the time was up, he would surely die.

Facing this powerful killer, Lu Xingchen's only trump card was his Soul Power.

Even an Eight-Star Martial King, if he wasn't an Alchemist, would generally only have Soul Power at the Late Mortal Realm.

However, relying on refining Medicinal Pills and the "Spirit Burning Art" to temper his Soul Power, he had already reached Mortal Realm Great Perfection.

Going all out, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

The red-clothed man continuously struck three times, but still couldn't break through Lu Xingchen's defense.

He was also somewhat annoyed and said in a deep voice, "The Realm gap between us is insurmountable. No matter what you drank just now, it's impossible to remain invincible forever. I'd like to see how much longer you can last!"

With that, he struck again.

Just then, Lu Xingchen's "Startling Soul Roar" finished charging, and a skull head the size of a person appeared above his head, flying towards the red-clothed man.

The red-clothed man snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You dare to fight back? Who gave you the courage?"

As he spoke, he swung his saber, trying to block Lu Xingchen's attack.

However, he didn't expect the skull head to pass directly through his long saber and violently strike him.

As Lu Xingchen expected, the red-clothed man's Soul Power was only at the Late Mortal Realm, which was already quite good.

But in the face of a Soul attack at Mortal Realm Great Perfection with five times its power, it still seemed too fragile.

The red-clothed man directly spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt on the ground, and temporarily lost control of his body.

At the same time, Jiang E's attack also arrived.

Lu Xingchen was not wrong; Jiang E's Soul Power was also very strong, reaching Mortal Realm Great Perfection.

She also mastered an Earth Rank Soul attack Martial Skill.

A red flower flew towards the red-clothed man and violently struck him.

The red-clothed man spat out another mouthful of blood, and a small amount of blood flowed from all seven of his orifices.

Lu Xingchen didn't give up the opportunity to beat a dog when it's down. He drew his shadow sword and fiercely slashed at the red-clothed man again and again.

But what he didn't expect was that the red-clothed man still retained a trace of rationality and activated his Qi to protect his body.

Lu Xingchen's attack failed to break through his defense.

Lu Xingchen also didn't dare to use "Jade Shatter" again, because he had less than half of his Dou Qi left. If he couldn't kill the red-clothed man, he would be the one to die.

He dared not pin his hopes of survival on others.

Lu Xingchen, holding the shadow sword, continuously hacked and slashed. Jiang E and Li Hua also came to help, but they still couldn't break through the red-clothed man's defense.

This was even under the interference of two spiritual attacks and the yin yun bell.

An Eight-Star Martial King, terrifying indeed!

Three minutes later, the red-clothed man finally recovered and stood up from the ground.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said sharply, "No wonder that esteemed adult values you so much. It turns out you have some capability. However, you will definitely not be able to unleash this level of attack a second time! Lu Xingchen, prepare to die!"

Lu Xingchen's heart tightened, but he didn't panic.

The red-clothed man was already seriously injured, and his strength could at most be 20 to 30 percent.

And his Realm had already risen to Eight-Star Martial Spirit. With the help of the "Heaven Swallowing Art," who would win or lose was truly unknown!

Just then, a sound of rushing wind suddenly came from afar.

The red-clothed man frowned.

He had delayed for too long, and the experts from Blazing Sun City had already arrived.

If he were at his peak, he naturally wouldn't be afraid.

But now, he might actually be captured by the other party.

The red-clothed man activated his Dou Qi, sending Lu Xingchen and the other two flying, then summoned his Dou Qi Wings and fled the area.

"Lu Xingchen, I, Wang Jie, have remembered today's grudge. If we ever meet again, I will definitely kill you!"

Lu Xingchen shrugged, completely unfazed by his harsh words.

With his upgrade speed, the next time they met, who would be cutting whom was still uncertain!

However, he also kept the name "Wang Jie" in mind. If he had the chance in the future, he would investigate who hired him to kill.

Wang Jie's strength was already so formidable, so what kind of expert would the person who could command him be?

Twenty seconds later, a Five-Star Martial King arrived at the scene with more than a dozen Martial Spirit Realm Experts.

He was the City Lord of Blazing Sun City.

It was a well-known fact that Liyun Kingdom and Cangxuan Sect were on good terms. After learning the identities of Lu Xingchen and the other two, he offered to personally escort the three back to Cangxuan Sect to prevent the killer from launching a surprise attack.

Lu Xingchen also did not refuse.

Free bodyguards, why not take them?

After returning to Cangxuan Sect, the three went to the Mission Hall to hand in their mission.

Jiang E smiled at Lu Xingchen and said, "Lu Xingchen, I didn't believe Li Hua's words before, but now it seems to be true. You do have the strength to contend with Martial King experts. Moreover, you have a Soul at Mortal Realm Great Perfection and the identity of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist. Describing you as a favored son of heaven is not wrong at all."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Not Fourth-Grade, but Fifth-Grade."

Hearing this, Li Hua and Jiang E were both greatly surprised.

Jiang E covered her mouth, her gaze at Lu Xingchen filled with disbelief.

"You are actually a Fifth-Rank Alchemist!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I just advanced not long ago. Only then do I have the qualifications to participate in the Inner Sect assessment."

Jiang E said in a deep voice, "Joining the Outer Sect and participating in the Inner Sect assessment in less than a year, only two Saints in Cangxuan Sect's hundred-year history have managed to do that. Lu Xingchen, you are truly strong!"

"In this year's Inner Sect assessment, the top three on our Earth Ranking will all participate. I imagine Long Chen and Li Fei are also very interested in you. During the Inner Sect assessment, we are both opponents and partners. I look forward to your even more brilliant performance."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "You will see!"

After Jiang E left, Li Hua patted Lu Xingchen's shoulder and smiled, "Junior Brother Lu, once you enter the Inner Sect, I'll have to call you Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Senior Brother Li Hua, there's no need to worry. Your Realm has already reached Nine-Star Martial Spirit, and you will definitely pass next year's Inner Sect assessment. As for this year, I'll have to go a step ahead of you."

Li Hua laughed, "Hahaha! Good! See you in the Inner Sect in a year!"

With that, he extended his palm to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen gently high-fived him.

"See you in the Inner Sect in a year!"
