471: Hard Fight with Luo Chen
Lu Xingchen shrugged and chuckled: "Cut ties? Don't be ridiculous. Both of us have a Life-saving Talisman on us. The worst outcome of this battle is just being teleported back to the entrance Plaza."
Hearing this, Luo Chen frowned.
"That is true. But being able to take one of your lives is not bad either!"
Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Hahaha! Then come on! Let me see what the head of the nine prodigies of the central continent is truly capable of!"
"Word Spirit, Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit!"
"Nine Revolutions Profound Technique!"
"Sacred Dragon Transformation!"
Lu Xingchen used three secret techniques in succession, his Realm rising from a Five-Star Martial Venerable to a Nine-Star Martial Venerable.
After switching the Moon Gazing Art to the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, his Realm finally rose to a Nine-Star Martial Venerable, one minor Realm higher than Luo Chen.
Feeling the powerful Qi on Lu Xingchen, Luo Chen frowned again.
"Using three secret techniques at once? Lu Dazhuang, you are quite the character. You are qualified to be my opponent!"
"Scared?" Lu Xingchen chuckled.
"Scared of you? Don't joke! I, Luo Chen, have always been invincible among my peers. Dealing with a mere Alchemist like you, isn't it just a piece of cake?"
"Then come on!"
"Word Spirit, Sword Control!"
"Word Spirit, Wind Whisper!"
Lu Xingchen took out the shadow sword and the immortal slaying sword. The shadow sword hovered around his shoulders, while the immortal slaying sword unsheathed and slashed towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen also took out the Luoshen Sword, the Legacy Spiritual Artifact of Luoshen Palace, a heavenly tier high grade item, and thrust it towards Lu Xingchen.
Both sides engaged in a contest in the sky.
On the other side, Dongfang Yuqing, Yun Li, and Peng Yu also joined the melee.
To hide his strength, Dongfang Yuqing did not use the Evil Soul Transformation, but he still hung up and beat an "eighth rank, eighth star" Yao Beast of the Three Great Demon Clans, and winning was only a matter of time.
This was the strength of the Saint of the Evil Soul Sect!
Lu Xingchen and Luo Chen exchanged hundreds of moves, still evenly matched.
Luo Chen not only had the same weapon configuration as him, but his sword technique was also on par with his, and even his Physical Body strength could rival his.
You must know, Lu Xingchen possessed a half-step Emperor-grade Dragon Bone and Dragon Power to protect his body!
This was because Luo Chen also cultivated the Spirit-Martial Body simultaneously.
His Qi was metal-attributed, inherently indestructible, and had the effect of strengthening the Physical Body. Combined with the heavenly tier high grade Solemn Gold Art, his Physical Body strength was no weaker than a Dragon Clan Demonic Beast.
The two collided in the air, the resulting Qi fluctuations directly blowing away the Martial Venerable Experts nearby, and no one dared to approach within a hundred-meter radius.
The people and Yao Beasts nearby were stunned.
"Damn, these two are too fierce!"
Their combat power was not even weaker than the three semi-Saint Yao Kings, yet they were both under 30 years old!
Luo Chen's strength was recognized by everyone, so it was easier for everyone to accept.
But Lu Dazhuang was an Alchemist!
He won the championship at the Alchemist Convention while possessing such terrifying combat power, which was quite outrageous!
It seems that being ninth on the popularity ranking really wronged him.
Luo Chen swung his sword while talking trash: "Lu Dazhuang, your progress speed is indeed a bit fast. When in the Human Emperor Hall, you could barely take a casual palm strike from me, but now you can fight me for hundreds of rounds."
Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Thanks for the compliment. But this is not my limit yet, Luo Chen. Let me give you something fun!"
"Word Spirit, Curse Annihilation!"
Lu Xingchen found an opportunity and activated this Word Spirit.
A black light wave flew towards Luo Chen and slammed into his body.
Luo Chen immediately let out a muffled groan, and the Qi fluctuations on his body weakened significantly.
Immediately after, he gave a low shout.
"Solemn Gold Art!"
A burst of golden light erupted from Luo Chen, and his Qi fluctuations became formidable again.
Although it was still not at his Peak, it eliminated most of the effects of Curse Annihilation.
Lu Xingchen immediately frowned.
Luo Chen's Solemn Gold Art also had the effect of immunity to abnormal status effects. He truly is the head of the nine prodigies!
But he was not too discouraged. The game had just begun!
He immediately summoned the Fused Spirit Fire.
A milky white flame wrapped around his entire body and the immortal slaying sword.
Seeing the Fused Spirit Fire, a look of surprise appeared on Luo Chen's face.
"It's not strange for an Alchemist to have a Spirit Fire, but your Spirit Fire is even more powerful than Peng Yu's Bodhi Sacred Fire. This is a bit shocking."
"You must know, the Bodhi Sacred Fire is the inherited treasure of Medicine King Valley, and only the Sect Masters and Saints of past generations have the opportunity to use it. With the foundation of the Lingyun Sect, I'm afraid they can't give you such great support, right?"
Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Indeed, this Glazed Pure Fire was obtained by my own ability and does not belong to the Sect's Legacy."
Because the Glazed Pure Fire was the strongest among the four Materials in the Fused Spirit Fire, and he liked the milky white flame more, he falsely claimed it was the Glazed Pure Fire.
Luo Chen said in a deep voice: "You kid are indeed a bit powerful, even more troublesome than Lin Aotian! Since that's the case, I'll play a trump card too!"
"Phantom Heaven Art!"
Seeing Luo Chen give a low shout, the spiritual power between heaven and earth frantically gathered towards him, and his Realm climbed again, rising from an Eight-Star Martial Venerable to a Ten-Star Martial Venerable.
Seeing this, Lu Xingchen's brows were tightly knitted.
He originally thought that Luo Chen had not found a suitable secret technique to increase his Realm.
Because this kind of secret technique was not only rare, but also had cultivation restrictions, and the quality had to match, making it very difficult to find a suitable scroll.
But he did not expect that Luo Chen also had one, and its power was so great!
The combat techniques of the two were evenly matched, and now it was a competition of values, seeing who had more trump cards.
Originally, Lu Xingchen relied on Curse Annihilation and Fused Spirit Fire to suppress Luo Chen in values, but he did not expect him to have the Phantom Heaven Art.
Luo Chen's strength was already formidable. As an Eight-Star Martial Venerable, his Qi strength was already comparable to a Ten-Star Martial Venerable.
Now that his Realm had climbed again, he could even fight against a semi-Saint.
Lu Xingchen's advantage was gone.
The two collided again, and Luo Chen completely suppressed him, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
Just as Luo Chen's Luoshen Sword was about to pierce his chest, he hurriedly used the displacement skill of the shadow sword, narrowly escaping a disaster.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What a strange displacement method! However, I don't believe you can escape forever!"
Lu Xingchen caught his breath and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Dongfang, Miss Yun Li, come and help! I can't beat him!"
That's right, he started to disregard martial ethics.
Damn it, he had used all his trump cards, but still couldn't beat Luo Chen. He couldn't just surrender, right?
The only trump card he hadn't used was Jade Shatter, but that required consuming half of his Qi and could only be used once in a battle. Now was not the time to expose it.
Dongfang Yuqing had been slacking off before, but when he heard Lu Xingchen's cry for help, he stabbed the "eighth rank, eighth star" Yao Beast in front of him to death with one sword and flew towards Lu Xingchen.
Yun Li also flew over to help.
