292: Breaking the Formation

Lu Xingchen stepped forward and said with a light chuckle, "That Elder Wang Defa, the leader of the Yinkui Sect, had a grudge against our Lingyun Sect, so I killed him."

Killing Wang Defa could greatly enhance Lu Xingchen's prestige, so he didn't conceal the matter.

Moreover, Wang Defa was the first to disregard the rules, so even if Lin Junyi had grievances against him, he wouldn't find an opportunity to openly attack.

Upon hearing this, the Disciples and Elders of the Liang Yi Sect and Chiyan Sect were all greatly astonished.

Wang Defa was notorious in Zhongzhou, always acting without regard for rules and holding grudges.

But his strength was indeed formidable; his Five-Star Martial Venerable Realm was well-known even across Zhongzhou.

Yet now he had been killed by a young man? How could this be possible?

The Liang Yi Sect Elder bowed to Lu Xingchen and solemnly said, "This old man is Li Fa of the Liang Yi Sect. May I know Fellow Daoist's esteemed name?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled lightly, "Peak Master Lu Big Strong One of Lingyuan Peak!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked.

"You are Jiang Taishen's fourth Personal Disciple? To possess such strength at such a young age is truly terrifying!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It was just a stroke of luck. Since everyone has arrived, let's work together to open the Secret Realm! Let the Disciples of the three Sects enter for training as soon as possible."

Li Fa nodded heavily, "Good, let's act together!"

Immediately, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

Li Zong, the Chiyan Sect Elder, said in a deep voice, "This is a bit troublesome. The entrance to this Secret Realm is guarded by an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation. With the strength of us three, I wonder if we can break it."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Let's try first; we can talk if it doesn't work!"

Lu Xingchen looked at the tops of their heads.

Li Fa's Realm had already reached Four-star Martial Venerable, while Li Zong was only Three-Star.

With this kind of combat power, it was indeed a bit difficult to shatter this Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation.

Li Zong said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's all attack one point of this Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation together!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "That's how it should be!"

Immediately, the three of them struck out together, attacking the Spirit Formation with their strongest Martial Skill.

Lu Xingchen used the "Sea-Flipping Seal" but did not release his battle qi; instead, he directly attacked the Spirit Formation with his physical palm.

This way, the advantage of his powerful Physical Body strength could be displayed.

Li Zong and Li Fa were both greatly startled by Lu Xingchen.

Although Lu Dazhuang's Realm was only One-Star Martial Venerable, the power of his palm strike was already comparable to a Five-Star Martial Venerable, or even stronger!

What powerful Physical Body strength, and what a formidable Martial Skill!

Perhaps even if the two of them joined forces, they would not be a match for Lu Dazhuang.

Jiang Taishen's fourth Personal Disciple was actually this terrifying!

Lu Xingchen's "Sea-Flipping Seal" struck the Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation, creating ripples.

However, it still didn't break the Spirit Formation.

The Disciples present began to whisper.

"What should we do? The Three Elders couldn't even break this Spirit Formation together. Are we going to return empty-handed this time?"

"It's all Lu Dazhuang's fault! If he hadn't killed Wang Defa because of personal grudges, with Wang Defa's help, we would definitely have been able to break this Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation."

"Exactly, exactly. Because of his personal thoughts, Lu Dazhuang ruined our chance to explore the Secret Realm."

"You can't say that either. The Yinkui Sect and Lingyun Sect have always had grievances. Even if Lu Dazhuang didn't make the first move, Wang Defa wouldn't have let him off easily."

The Disciples' murmurs, though quiet, still fully reached Lu Xingchen's ears.

He immediately frowned.

These Disciples of the two Sects were truly selfish!

Li Zong said with a bitter smile, "Peak Master Lu's strength is simply unfathomable. But since we cannot break this Spirit Formation, let's each return to our Sects and invite experts from within to assist!"

Lu Xingchen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Since we've come all this way, we can't just return empty-handed, can we?"

Li Zong said in a deep voice, "Unless you have a greater trump card, we have no way to deal with this Spirit Formation."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "I do."

"Huh?"

Both of them were slightly stunned.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen touched the Storage Ring on his finger, and the immortal slaying sword appeared in his hand.

Seeing the immortal slaying sword, the two Elders and all the Disciples present were greatly astonished.

"A high heaven grade spirit tool! How is this possible?"

"Let alone you Venerables, even more powerful Saints might not possess a high heaven grade spirit tool!"

"How did this Lu Dazhuang obtain this Spiritual Artifact? It's simply unbelievable!"

"Why even ask? It must have been given to him by Jiang Taishen. Jiang Taishen truly favors this Personal Disciple; he even gives away a heaven-rank spirit tool!"

"Damn, I'm so envious! If only I weren't strong enough, I'd want to snatch it!"

"What are you kidding about? Who here is a match for Lu Dazhuang?"

Lu Xingchen drew the immortal slaying sword and slashed down at the Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation.

A plain and unremarkable sword strike easily shattered the Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation.

Everyone present was incredibly shocked, their gazes filled with envy as they looked at Lu Xingchen.

"No way? It's over with one sword strike? I saw that the Three Elders in the Venerable Realm couldn't break the formation just now!"

"A heaven-rank spirit tool is simply terrifying!"

"I originally thought Lu Dazhuang defeated Wang Defa by luck, but now it seems he didn't use his full strength at all. If he had taken out this spirit sword from the beginning, he could have killed Wang Defa in one move!"

"In the few years Jiang Taishen has been away, the situation of the Lingyun Sect has worsened. Now that Lu Dazhuang has returned strongly, isn't it going to revive from the ashes?"

With one sword strike achieving success, Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, put away the immortal slaying sword, and said to the two, "Fellow Daoists, since the Spirit Formation is broken, let the Disciples go in for training!"

Li Fa nodded slightly and shouted loudly, "Those belonging to the Liang Yi Sect, depart!"

Li Zong also said in a deep voice, "Those belonging to the Chiyan Sect, depart!"

A total of 15 top Disciples from the three Eighth-Rank Sects entered the stone door one after another.

Lu Xingchen and the other two waited outside the door.

Yun Li walked over to Lu Xingchen, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "Big Strong One, you're getting more and more amazing! Tearing apart a Five-Star Martial Venerable with your bare hands, and breaking an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation with one sword. I simply can't see where your limit is."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Of course! As your man, it's only natural for me to have some skills. Otherwise, why would you be interested in me?"

Yun Li said in a deep voice, "Constantly following you on adventures, I'm gradually finding it a bit strenuous. I can't keep up with your progress, and perhaps in a few more years, the gap between us will be like a chasm."

Lu Xingchen stroked Yun Li's head and said softly, "When I first arrived at the Cangxuan Sect, you were protecting me. Now it's my turn to protect you. There's no need for us to differentiate so clearly between us."

Yun Li's eyes darkened, and just as she was about to say something, a sharp shout suddenly came from afar.

"Lu Dazhuang, get out here!"
