315: Defeat Peng Yu
Lu Xingchen used his full power in this move, and he used the Mountain Splitting Seal.
With his current strength, he could almost instantly cast an Earth-Rank Martial Skill.
Miss Peng Yu was not careless in the slightest and also used a earth rank high grade offensive Martial Skill.
Their palms met, and Miss Peng Yu only felt a powerful force surging out from Lu Xingchen's hand.
However, just as this immense force was about to surge into her body, a white light suddenly appeared around Miss Peng Yu's body, and a jade pendant at her waist shattered.
At the same time, Peng Ling, who was a guest at the Qingnang Sect and was enjoying tea with Li Chuang, suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand.
Li Chuang was startled and quickly said, "Elder Peng Ling, what happened?"
Peng Ling said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yu's protective jade pendant has been shattered; she is in mortal danger!"
With that, Peng Ling stopped talking nonsense and quickly rushed out of the reception hall, flying towards the Lingyun Sect.
Li Chuang was stunned for a moment, then followed him.
To be so highly regarded by Peng Ling and referred to as "Xiao Yu," it could only be the Saintess of Medicine King Valley, Miss Peng Yu, one of the eight prodigies.
She was actually in mortal danger.
Who was so bold as to dare to attack her?
A white light flashed, and Lu Xingchen was forced back three steps, then he frowned.
A protective Magic Treasure?
As the Saintess of a Ninth-Rank Sect, it was normal for her to have a protective Magic Treasure, but this Magic Treasure must have limitations and could not be used indefinitely.
But the time left for him was running out; once Miss Peng Yu created distance, it would be very difficult to succeed again.
Without any hesitation, Lu Xingchen again used the Mountain Splitting Seal, striking out a palm towards Miss Peng Yu, and simultaneously activated Jade Shatter.
Half of the Dou Qi in his body instantly vanished, in exchange for a fivefold increase in attack power.
Miss Peng Yu broke out in a cold sweat from fright.
Damn it, this Lu Dazhuang's Physical Body strength is too strong!
He actually shattered her protective jade pendant directly!
This jade pendant was given to her by the Valley Master as a self-defense item when she left Medicine King Valley; it could automatically protect its owner and withstand one fatal attack.
A trace of Peng Ling's Soul Imprint was also left on it; once the jade pendant shattered, he would immediately sense it and come to her aid.
But Miss Peng Yu never expected that Lu Xingchen's seemingly ordinary palm strike would activate the protective jade pendant.
This meant that his palm strike could threaten her life!
How was this possible?
Lu Dazhuang's Physical Body strength was already comparable to a high-star Martial Venerable.
But he was an Alchemist!
Miss Peng Yu had no time to think further and quickly spread her Dou Qi Wings, fleeing backward.
She had to immediately create distance from Lu Dazhuang!
Only by fighting a war of attrition with her Dou Qi and Soul Power would she have a chance to win; continuing to clash head-on would only lead to death.
However, Miss Peng Yu was horrified to discover that Lu Dazhuang's flying speed was even faster than hers.
The three-step distance was quickly closed, and Lu Xingchen's second palm strike was already before her.
With no way to avoid it, Miss Peng Yu could only strike out again, clashing head-on with Lu Xingchen once more.
It was well-known that Alchemists had weak Physical Body strength, and she had long considered extreme situations like the present, so she wore a close-fitting soft armor.
This close-fitting soft armor, named Heavenly Silkworm Armor, was a heaven rank middle grade Spiritual Artifact and could greatly weaken the power of an enemy's attack.
This was also why she dared to clash with Lu Xingchen a second time.
The two clashed palms again.
This time, without the protection of the protective jade pendant, Miss Peng Yu felt the terror of Lu Xingchen's Physical Body strength.
Although the Heavenly Silkworm Armor had weakened ninety percent of Lu Xingchen's power, the remaining ten percent still instantly fractured the bones in her right hand, and her internal organs suffered severe damage.
Miss Peng Yu was directly sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air, and then fell to the ground.
Her entire body was greatly impacted and remained weak, unable to take any further action.
Miss Peng Yu stared blankly at Lu Xingchen, muttering, "How can he be so strong?"
Seeing that Miss Peng Yu had lost her combat ability, Lu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also somewhat surprised.
This Miss Peng Yu was truly difficult to deal with; she was still alive after enduring his Mountain Splitting Seal, which was enhanced by Jade Shatter.
This was one of the rare times he had used Jade Shatter and failed to eliminate his opponent.
As the power surged into Miss Peng Yu's body, Lu Xingchen also felt a gentle protective force within her.
A Heaven Rank close-fitting inner armor.
Medicine King Valley is truly rich; it's good to be rich!
Lu Xingchen secretly felt fortunate that he had acted decisively and immediately used Jade Shatter.
Otherwise, with the protection of the close-fitting inner armor, he would not have been able to severely injure Miss Peng Yu.
Lu Xingchen clenched his fist, easing the recoil in his right hand, then flew in front of Miss Peng Yu.
"Miss Peng Yu, I apologize for the offense!"
Lu Xingchen cupped his fist and bowed to Miss Peng Yu.
Miss Peng Yu's eyes held a hint of panic as she looked at Lu Xingchen.
"Lu Dazhuang, what do you want to do? I'm telling you, I am the Saintess of Medicine King Valley; you cannot touch me, otherwise, the entire Lingyun Sect will face utter destruction!"
Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I didn't intend to touch you. I just want you to behave!"
With that, Lu Xingchen took out the hunyuan umbrella and sealed Miss Peng Yu inside the umbrella.
Although the hunyuan umbrella was only a profound grade high-rank Spiritual Artifact, its Seal power was very special; once inside the umbrella, no matter how high one's cultivation, it was difficult to Breakthrough.
Perhaps a Saint could find a way to Breakthrough; after all, a Saint had already mastered Power of Law and possessed extraordinary means.
But Miss Peng Yu would never be able to Breakthrough.
Miss Peng Yu was, after all, the Saintess of Medicine King Valley, and Lu Xingchen still did not dare to easily kill her.
After all, he had the tokens given by Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall and Mu Chun, allowing him to summon two Saints at any time.
And Miss Peng Yu most likely had similar items on her.
Now, Peng Ling was probably already on his way to the Lingyun Sect.
Also, Miss Peng Yu had said before that she wouldn't kill him, but only wanted to spar with him.
Lu Xingchen's code of conduct had always been to retaliate for every grievance, but if others respected him an inch, he would respect them a foot.
Since Miss Peng Yu had no intention of killing him, and there was no animosity between them, he couldn't bring himself to harm Miss Peng Yu.
After today's battle, Lu Xingchen gained a profound understanding of the true value of the eight prodigies of the central province.
This Miss Peng Yu was truly formidable!
He had used all his trump cards, exerted his full strength, and resorted to underhanded tactics, yet he had only barely defeated her.
If they were to spar again next time, and she understood the subtle uses of the shadow sword, she would never give him a chance to get close.
At that time, defeating her would be even more difficult!
After sealing Miss Peng Yu, Lu Xingchen put away the hunyuan umbrella and flew towards the Lingyun Sect.
He had just crushed the pendant his Senior Sister gave him, so she must already be on her way to help.
He had to quickly rendezvous with his Senior Sister, otherwise, she would worry.
As for Miss Peng Yu's injuries, he wasn't too worried.
