294: Yunli helps

Li Cheng, in turn, struck out with another palm, annihilating Lu Xingchen's Sword Qi.

Then he said in a deep voice, "I've figured out the pattern of your displacement; you can only move to where the black shadow sword sheath is. Lu Dazhuang, you can't use the same move a third time!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Seeing through it and breaking it are two different things. Li Cheng, I hope you truly have the ability!"

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly, clasped his hands together, and six lightning orbs shot out in six directions, attacking Lu Xingchen's main body and the positions of the five shadow sword sheaths.

"This time, let's see how you dodge!"

Lu Xingchen didn't dodge; instead, he stood his ground and activated "Void-Shattering Slash," shattering the thunder orb flying towards him.

The five shadow sword sheaths were struck flying by the thunder orbs, and then, under Lu Xingchen's "Sword Control," they flew back to his side.

When the thunder orbs exploded, the powerful lightning Qi, like maggots on bone, invaded Lu Xingchen's body.

However, under the protection of the Fused Spirit Fire and Dragon Power, the lightning Qi was blocked outside his body and could not enter Lu Xingchen's body.

Li Cheng tried several more times, all to no avail.

When he attacked all the sword sheaths simultaneously, Lu Xingchen could forcibly block his attacks with the power of the immortal slaying sword.

When he concentrated his power to attack one point, Lu Xingchen could escape using the shadow sword's displacement skill.

Li Cheng had rarely encountered such a tricky opponent.

More importantly, his lightning Qi could even have a paralyzing effect on a Martial Venerable Expert, greatly reducing the enemy's movement speed.

However, when facing Lu Xingchen, it simply couldn't break through his protective Dou Qi.

After clashing with him several times, Lu Xingchen was completely unharmed; in fact, he became more energetic.

It seems Jiang Taishen really took in a formidable character this time!

Li Cheng said in a deep voice, "Lu Dazhuang, your strength is formidable. To be able to persist for so long with such a significant difference in our Realms. If you were given another ten years, your achievements would undoubtedly surpass mine!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Just a fluke."

"Since Senior Li Cheng can't take me down, why not leave now and return to the Thunder Prison Sect to find someone more capable?"

Li Cheng snorted coldly.

"There's only one chance for a sneak attack. If I can't take you down this time, it will be even more difficult to act next time."

"Lu Dazhuang, you truly are a formidable fellow. My Thunder Prison Tribulation is rarely used, even against experts of the same Realm, yet now I must use it on you, a mere Martial Ancestor."

"Thunder Prison Tribulation!"

Li Cheng let out a low roar, then clasped his hands together, and terrifying Dou Qi condensed in his palms.

Then Li Cheng raised his hands, and a lightning-attributed Dou Qi flew into the sky.

The previously clear sky suddenly became overcast, with lightning Qi flashing within the clouds, spreading throughout the entire Secret Realm entrance.

Lu Xingchen's heart immediately sank.

This Li Cheng truly lived up to his reputation as an Elder of a Ninth-Rank Sect; he had many trump cards.

This thundercloud had already covered the entire battlefield; unless he immediately turned and fled, his attack would be impossible to avoid.

But could Lu Xingchen run?

The five Saints of the Lingyun Sect were still within the Secret Realm; if he left, what would happen to them?

Moreover, his wife was still watching the battle nearby.

If he ran, and Li Cheng became enraged and captured her, things would become quite troublesome.

Lu Xingchen frowned tightly and activated "Demon Breaking Slash."

A massive white Battle Qi Sword Blade condensed on the immortal slaying sword, its sharpness fully revealed.

And in the sky, the lightning Qi was also rapidly condensing.

Just as the tension was at its peak, Yun Li spread her Dou Qi Wings and flew towards Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen was greatly alarmed and said in a deep voice, "Yun Li, are you crazy? If I can't block this strike, we'll both turn to dust!"

Yun Li ignored Lu Xingchen's obstruction and said with a smile, "Big Strong One, I am already your woman. Without you, my life has no meaning. Rather than live in shame, it's better to die together!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart stirred, and his eyes reddened slightly.

Initially, Yun Li had always guarded her purity, and he had felt a bit displeased.

But now, Yun Li's words, like the most moving love confession in the world, deeply shocked his soul.

Yun Li already considered him her lover!

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Good, in that case, we shall live and die together!"

Yun Li chuckled, "Don't get discouraged yet. With my help and the power of the immortal slaying sword, we might not be unable to block this strike."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback.

"You can help me?"

"Wait, you're not talking about the power of the Thunder Roar Physique, are you?"

Yun Li smiled slightly, "You're quite quick-witted!"

After a brief brewing, the thunderclouds in the sky continuously churned, and a blue lightning bolt as thick as a person angrily struck down towards Lu Xingchen!

Just as Lu Xingchen expected, this lightning bolt could appear anywhere within the thundercloud's covered area, rendering the shadow sword's displacement skill meaningless.

As the blue lightning struck down, Yun Li flew up, directly facing the power of the lightning.

A blue-purple Dou Qi Shield appeared around her body, and as soon as the blue lightning touched this shield, it melted away like snowflakes.

This was Yun Li's "Thunder Roar Physique," which could absorb all lightning-attributed power to strengthen herself.

Her Thunder Roar Physique might not be weaker than Lu Xingchen's power-up for killing enemies!

The power of the blue lightning was absorbed by Yun Li for a little less than half, and after a brief pause in the air, it continued to strike down.

Lu Xingchen knew that Yun Li had reached her limit, so he immediately activated the shadow sword's displacement skill, teleporting above Yun Li.

"Jade Shatter" was activated, and half of the Dou Qi in his body instantly disappeared, replaced by a fivefold increase in attack power.

Then Lu Xingchen swung his sword upwards, activating "Demon Breaking Slash," and a white Battle Qi Sword Blade as massive as the blue lightning flew upwards, clashing with the blue lightning.

In an instant, a massive wave of Dou Qi aftershocks erupted.

"Word Spirit, Dustless Land!"

Lu Xingchen hastily embraced Yun Li, activated "Dustless Land," and simultaneously activated the Fused Spirit Fire and Dragon Power to form a shield around his body, facing the aftershocks of the explosion with his back.

The "Dustless Land" held for a moment, then shattered with a roar.

Lu Xingchen suffered a backlash from the Word Spirit, his Soul Power was damaged, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

But the Dustless Land also blocked most of the explosion's power, and the remaining power slammed into the Dragon Power Shield.

Lu Xingchen was directly blasted backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, carving a gully into the earthy-yellow surface.

But even so, he tightly held Yun Li in his arms, unwilling to let her suffer even the slightest harm.

Li Cheng also frowned deeply, shielding his chest with his hands and activating a Dou Qi Shield.

But he was further from the center of the explosion and was only shaken back, not injured.
