395: But that's all

Lu Xingchen completely ignored his last words, abruptly pulling out the shadow sword, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed from his chest.

Lu Xingchen protected his body with Dou Qi, and even though blood poured out like a column, not a single drop stained him.

He held the sword with one hand, exuding an air of coolness.

“You, little guy, go call out your Yao King! You’re not worthy of fighting me yet!”

The other gate-keeping Yao Beast was greatly startled, looking at Lu Xingchen with utter disbelief.

“You actually dared to kill one of Lord Jiuyou’s subordinates, Human Race boy! You will definitely pay the price for your actions!”

After uttering the threat, he spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew away from the place.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “He really talks the toughest and runs the fastest!”

Seeing Lu Xingchen slay an Eighth-rank monster with a single sword, the young Alchemists following him were all incredibly shocked.

“My heavens, did I see that right? One sword! Just one sword and Lu Dazhuang killed that Eighth-rank monster!”

“Lu Dazhuang’s Realm is only Three-Star Martial Venerable, the same as that Yao Beast, so why is the difference in their strength so vast!”

“As a Three-Star Martial Venerable myself, I can only guarantee my own safety in front of a Yao Beast of the same Realm. As for slaying one, that’s absolutely impossible! Lu Dazhuang is truly a Divine Being!”

“The stronger Lu Dazhuang is now, the better it is for us. We can only rely on him to contend with that Yao King.”

In just a few minutes, sharp whistling sounds came from afar.

A beautiful woman with fair skin, dressed in a purple long dress, flew down from the peak with over thirty burly men, confronting Lu Xingchen and his group.

Those who could descend from the mountain peak were certainly not humans, but transformed Yao Beasts.

The beautiful, fair-skinned woman leading them had the four large characters “eighth rank, eighth star” above her head.

Presumably, she was the Yao King of this mountain peak!

Jiuyou’s tone carried a hint of impatience.

“Peng Yu, I spared you once out of respect for you being the Saintess of Medicine King Valley, allowing you to leave safely. Is this how you repay me? By bringing even more people up here!”

Peng Yu snorted coldly, “This Spirit Herb Space belongs to our Medicine King Valley. All the Spirit Medicine on this mountain peak, including you Yao Beasts, belong to Medicine King Valley. Do I need your permission to take something from my own backyard?”

Hearing this, Jiuyou was so angry she laughed.

“You little girl, you’re quite pretty, but I didn’t expect you to be so sharp-tongued! We Yao Beasts and Medicine King Valley are not in a subordinate relationship, but a cooperative one. If we want to come, Medicine King Valley can’t stop us; if we want to leave, Medicine King Valley can’t stop us either!”

“Today, with me here, you won’t be able to take a single Spirit Medicine. Peng Yu, I’ve already given Medicine King Valley Face. Since you insist on seeking death, I will keep you here forever!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled and stepped in front of Miss Peng Yu.

“If you want to harm Miss Peng Yu, you’ll have to get past me, Lu Dazhuang, first!”

Seeing the bloodstains on the shadow sword, Jiuyou’s expression instantly darkened.

“Lu Dazhuang, is it? So you’re the one who killed my subordinate? In that case, you can die first!”

With that, she struck out a palm towards Lu Xingchen.

People on both sides were bewildered; everything was going well, so why were they suddenly fighting?

Lu Xingchen reacted quickly, hastily activating the shadow sword’s displacement skill to teleport to the side.

Having Transmigrated to the Tianyuan Continent for so many years, Lu Xingchen had long developed a rich combat awareness; no matter where he went, his body remained still, but the shadow sword moved first.

Her palm missed, and Jiuyou frowned, saying in a deep voice, “What a strange teleportation method! Boy, where did you learn from?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Western Zhongzhou, Lingyun Sect, a disciple of Jiang Taishen!”

Jiuyou said in a deep voice, “Lingyun Sect? Never heard of it! It must have been established recently!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “That’s not important. Your bloodline is good; among the Yao Beasts, you’re considered top-tier, worthy of being my opponent!”

“I say, Divine Descent!”

“I say, Heavenly Spirit!”

“Moon Gazing Art!”

“Sacred Dragon Transformation!”

Lu Xingchen consecutively uttered several low shouts, and his Aura continuously climbed, his Realm rising from Three-Star Martial Venerable to Seven-Star Martial Venerable.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was astonished.

“Holy cow, Seven-Star Martial Venerable! How is this possible!?”

“If I heard correctly, Lu Xingchen just used three secret techniques at once. But how is that possible? Such short-term power-boosting secret techniques put an immense burden on the body, and after a temporary Realm increase, one enters a prolonged period of weakness. How can his Physical Body withstand using three secret techniques simultaneously?”

“Lu Dazhuang is truly a Divine Being! His strength is not weaker than the eight prodigies of the central province!”

“Looking at it this way, perhaps we really have hope of obtaining the Spirit Medicine!”

“Lu Dazhuang is awesome!”

Jiuyou’s Face was also gloomy, and her gaze towards Lu Xingchen was filled with shock.

“Using three secret techniques simultaneously, Lu Dazhuang, how did you do it?”

“And this Sacred Dragon Transformation, only Dragon Clan Demonic Beasts and people from the Sacred Dragon Palace know it, yet you, an outsider from Lingyun Sect, have learned it!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “That’s not the point. You should first worry about your own life!”

With that, Lu Xingchen held the shadow sword and stabbed it towards Jiuyou.

Jiuyou struck out another palm, clashing with Lu Xingchen.

She simply refused to believe that a mere youngster, even if he used secret techniques to temporarily raise his Realm, could truly fight above his level?

Yes, he could.

Lu Xingchen proved to her with his strength that he could!

The shadow sword and Jiuyou’s palm collided, stirring up waves of Qi.

Immediately, Jiuyou was sent flying backward, taking more than ten steps on the ground before stopping.

Although Jiuyou used her Physical Body to counter Lu Xingchen’s shadow sword, her palm was protected by powerful Demonic Power, so the shadow sword couldn’t break through her defenses; it merely repelled her.

Jiuyou let out another cry of surprise.

“How is this possible?”

The young Alchemists behind Peng Yu were also incredibly shocked.

“Holy cow, Heaven-Defying! To repel an eighth rank, eighth star Yao Beast with the Realm of a Three-Star Martial Venerable—if I were to tell people about this, they’d think I was bragging.”

“I didn’t expect Lu Dazhuang to have reached such a powerful level; it’s simply appalling! After this Alchemist Convention concludes, the eight prodigies of the central province will definitely become the nine prodigies of the central continent!”

“This child is no ordinary person!”

Peng Yu cleared her throat and loudly declared, “Everyone, stop watching the show! Lu Dazhuang has already taken the lead, and we young people cannot fall behind. Let’s launch an attack on the remaining Yao Beasts!”

“Alright!”

“As you command!”

“Everything as Saintess commands!”

Jiuyou also let out a low growl, “Battle!”

A chaotic battle erupted at the foot of this mountain peak.

Lu Xingchen held the shadow sword and continuously thrust several swords towards Jiuyou, chuckling as he stabbed, “So-called Yao King, you’re nothing more than this!”
