432: Being ambushed

After rushing out of the room, Lu Xingchen found himself on the peak of a mountain, surrounded by continuous mountain ranges.

He immediately opened the system map and, following its guidance, flew toward the edge of the mountain range.

This Chu Huai only had the strength of an Eight-Star Martial Venerable and had not yet entered the Saint Realm, so it was impossible for this entire mountain range to be his territory.

As long as he rushed out of his territory, Chu Huai would not dare to continue the pursuit.

Chu Huai had only chased for a dozen seconds before he felt something was wrong.

Lu Dazhuang's speed was simply too fast; even when he went all out, he still couldn't keep up, and the distance between them grew wider and wider.

Chu Huai let out a roar, manifesting his true form; a massive purple-black Dragon appeared at the summit of the mountain.

His roar was not for show, but to command the other Yao Beasts in this mountain range to help him intercept Lu Dazhuang.

Since this Lu Dazhuang was coming to the Liuxing Continent for the first time, he definitely wouldn't be familiar with the terrain, and might end up wandering back and forth within the mountain range.

If just one subordinate could delay him for a moment, he would be able to catch up.

The people of the Sacred Dragon Palace must die!

After manifesting his true form, Chu Huai's overall attributes increased by 30%, and his speed improved again.

However, he was horrified to discover that he still couldn't catch Lu Dazhuang.

This kid was truly too bizarre. A Four-star Martial Venerable was actually stronger than him, an eighth rank, eighth star Dragon Clan Demonic Beast.

When did the Sacred Dragon Palace cultivate such a Prodigy?

"Word Spirit, Wind Whisper!"

Lu Xingchen opened the system map, flying while simultaneously using "Wind Whisper."

"Wind Whisper" could enhance his hearing and perception; every wisp of breeze that passed him could inform him of the surrounding terrain.

Combined with the system map, even though it was his first time entering the Liuxing Continent, he flew out of the mountain range at the fastest speed possible, as if he had been exploring it for years.

As for the Yao Beasts blocking his path halfway through...

Coincidentally, Chu Huai was hosting a banquet in his lair, and most of the eighth rank Yao Beasts in the entire mountain range had gone to attend, and were now chasing him from behind.

The other Yao Beasts blocking the way were rarely above the eighth rank; with a wave of his shadow sword, he instantly turned them into dust.

The further Chu Huai chased, the more alarmed he became.

Damn it, why is this Human Race kid so familiar with the terrain?

Judging by the situation, he was constantly flying toward the outside of the mountain range.

Once he left this mountain range, it would no longer be within the sphere of influence of Chu Feng Valley, and chasing further would easily cause conflicts with Yao Beasts from other factions.

As everyone knows, Yao Beasts have very strong territorial instincts.

But Chu Huai simply had no way to deal with Lu Xingchen.

This Human Race kid not only possessed outstanding strength, but his intellect was also top-notch!

He fled, he chased. After half a day, Lu Xingchen finally rushed out of the mountain range and stopped beside a small stream.

Chu Huai could initially still sense Lu Xingchen's Dou Qi fluctuations, but as the distance between them grew wider, he finally lost track of Lu Xingchen.

Chu Huai stopped at the edge of the mountain range and immediately turned back.

After fifteen minutes, the other eighth rank Yao Beasts finally met up with him.

"Boss, how is it? Did you find that Human Race kid?"

Chu Huai shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "That kid was too fast. I lost him. Let's go back; there is no hope of catching him now!"

"Understood!"

Lu Xingchen squatted under a large tree. After an hour, he still couldn't sense Chu Huai's aura.

Only then did he feel relieved.

His line of thought was indeed correct!

He then took off his clothes and stepped into the stream to wash the grease from his body.

While bathing, he spoke with Xiao You.

"Xiao You, have you heard the name Chu Huai?"

Xiao You's voice rang out in the mount space.

"Never heard of him. And since he knows the Nether Claw, he must be a core member of the Nether Dragon Clan, yet his surname is 'Chu' and not 'You.' This situation is very rare."

Lu Xingchen said softly, "Regardless, I just saw his true form, and he is indeed a member of the Nether Dragon Clan. This guy has some strength. What do you think, are you planning on taking him as a subordinate?"

Hearing this, Xiao You was startled.

"You still haven't given up on leaving a mark in his sea of soul? But his so-called 'Savage Array' is indeed quite powerful. Are you sure you can do it?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It doesn't matter. We just had bad luck today and happened to run into them hosting a banquet, which is why there were so many eighth rank Yao Beasts following Chu Huai."

"Afterward, they will definitely return to their respective territories to manage their affairs. That will be our chance to subdue Chu Huai."

Xiao You's tone carried a hint of a smile.

"You kid are truly greedy; you don't want to miss out on any benefits! But since you're my partner, I'll go on this adventure with you again!"

As the two were chatting, a water arrow suddenly shot out from underwater, heading straight for Lu Xingchen's chest.

Lu Xingchen frowned.

Even with his Spirit Realm Great Perfection Soul Power, he barely managed to react in time.

Clearly, the enemy definitely had the ability to conceal its aura and specialized in sneak attacks.

It hadn't attacked even though he had been in the stream for so long, waiting specifically until he was at his most careless moment.

This was a difficult opponent!

Numerous thoughts flashed through Lu Xingchen's mind, but his movements were not slow.

The water arrow was right in front of him. There was no time to release either the Dou Qi Shield or the "Dustless Land." In this moment of crisis, he could only shield his chest with both hands to block this fatal blow.

The water arrow sliced through the stream, stirring up waves of sound, then shot toward him, fiercely striking his right arm.

In an instant, blood splattered.

But Lu Xingchen possessed a half-step emperor-grade dragon bone and Dragon Power protecting his Physical Body. His Physical Body strength far surpassed Yao Beasts of the same rank, so this move was not enough to cause him severe injury.

He activated Dragon Power to staunch the wound, stopping the bleeding from his right arm, and the wound rapidly healed at a visible rate.

A soft sound of surprise came from underwater, and then there was silence.

"Sea-Flipping Seal!"

Lu Xingchen let out a low shout, and a massive Dou Qi Hand Seal appeared above his head.

The enemy's ability to conceal its aura was indeed very strong; he couldn't sense the opponent's presence right now either.

"Wind Whisper" was also useless, because the enemy was underwater, and "Wind Whisper" controls wind-attribute spiritual Qi; there is no wind underwater.

However, he could infer the approximate location of the enemy based on the direction the water arrow came from.

This stream was only a few hundred meters long, and his Soul Power could cover the entire area, as could his Martial Skill.

You can conceal your aura, right?

Then I will flip over the entire stream!

Lu Xingchen adjusted the attack mode of the "Sea-Flipping Seal," reducing its might but increasing its range, encompassing the entire stream.

Ten seconds later, the charging was complete, and the blue Dou Qi Hand Seal furiously slammed down toward the bottom of the stream.

In an instant, the stream water surged and churned, like falling rain.

A blue Flood Dragon flew up from underwater, its eyes bloodshot, meeting Lu Xingchen's gaze.
