153: Chapter 153: The Killing of Elder Jin Shocks the Entire Nation!

Within the Skeletal Wasteland Secret Realm, the roar of colliding skills was deafening. The ground of white bones constantly cracked and crumbled, ground into powder by various violent energies.

Yuwen Jin shone with golden light, the Golden Holy Spear in his hand dancing like a dragon as it clashed furiously with Lu Sen's Astral Sword Gang, Yu Linglong's Scarlet Brilliance Flowing Fire, and Chen Rou's Holy Light Barrier.

Though he was in a wretched state, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth and cracks appearing on his Golden Holy Armor, his gaze grew increasingly fierce as he attempted to tear open a gap and rush toward the Secret Realm's exit.

"Get lost!"

With a furious roar, he forced Lu Sen back with a thrust of his spear. The wings of the Golden Winged Dragon behind him flapped violently, sending countless razor-sharp Golden Dragon Feathers shooting out, temporarily forcing back Yu Linglong's rain of arrows.

An opportunity!

A sharp light flashed in Yuwen Jin's eyes. Transforming into a golden streak, he ignored the incoming attacks from behind and tanked the damage, lunging straight toward the slightly rippling Secret Realm exit!

As long as he got out, he could restore his Tier 8 strength and trap Lu Sen's group of three inside the Secret Realm!

However,

just at the moment he was about to touch the light membrane of the exit—

"Buzz!"

A dull hum that seemed to come from the ancient primordial era suddenly rang out. The space at the entrance of the entire Secret Realm distorted and expanded violently, as if being squeezed ruthlessly by an invisible giant hand!

In the next instant,

an unimaginably massive claw covered in dark purple crystal armor forced its way through the spatial barrier, violently reaching into the Secret Realm!

Following that was a second giant claw, and then a hideous head that seemed to be condensed from the Void Realm itself. Its countless compound eyes flickered with cold, ruthless light, looking down indifferently at the tiny creatures below.

The Void Behemoth BOSS—Monge, descended!

Its colossal body almost completely blocked the entire Secret Realm exit. The shadow it cast instantly enveloped Yuwen Jin, as well as Lu Sen and the other two behind him.

"W-What is that?!"

Yuwen Jin's forward momentum ground to a sudden halt. His pupils shrank to the size of needlepoints, and the wild joy of being about to escape instantly froze on his face, turning into utter horror and disbelief!

This terrifying aura, this unique Void pressure...

This was clearly the Void Behemoth BOSS from that special five-star Void Rift Secret Realm in Tianxiao City! But how could it appear here?!

Lu Sen, Chen Rou, and Yu Linglong also stopped abruptly, staring in shock at this sudden, terrifying beast. Their entire bodies tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy.

Just then,

a calm voice that carried an immense sense of security came from high above: "Dad, Mom, Sister Linglong, don't be nervous. It's one of us."

Lu Chen's figure fell like a meteor, landing steadily in front of the three. With his back to the terrifying Void Behemoth, his cold gaze locked onto the stiffened Yuwen Jin ahead.

"I called it over to help block the door, so this old loach wouldn't escape."

"One of us?"

"Called over to block the door?"

The three of them looked at the Void Behemoth, which could swallow a small mountain in one bite, and then at the nonchalant Lu Chen. For a moment, their brains couldn't process what was happening.

The Void Behemoth Monge lowered its massive head and turned to Lu Chen, speaking with a hint of grievance: "Big Brother... you summoned me in such a rush just to block a door? With my look and status, isn't using me to block a door a bit of a waste of talent?"

"Big Brother?!"

Hearing this form of address, Yuwen Jin felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to his skull, his scalp instantly tingling with shock!

This Void Behemoth cub, which was comparable to a World Lord BOSS, actually called Lu Chen 'Big Brother'?!

What kind of fucking magical realism was this?!

He whipped around to look at the approaching Lu Chen. The muscles on his face twitched violently from fear and shock, losing all of his previous composure and majesty.

"Lu Chen! Lu Sen! Do you... do you know the consequences of killing me?!"

While frantically sending distress messages to the other four elders via his friend channel, he roared with forced courage, "The Five Elders Association will fight you to the bitter end! There will be no place for you in the entire Great Xia! Let me leave now, and there is still room for negotiation!"

Wuyao City.

The eldest, Elder Xuan, was also infuriated upon receiving the third elder's distress message, but he couldn't leave—the West Sea Overlord was still frantically besieging the city!

He had no choice but to send a message of capitulation through the public channel, hoping Lu Chen would spare the third elder's life.

The public channel also erupted instantly.

The big shots of various major guilds who were paying attention to the movements in Linjiang City and Wuyao City received this earth-shattering message almost simultaneously.

"What?! Elder Jin is in danger? Trapped in a six-star Secret Realm by Lu Sen's family and Yu Linglong?!"

"Crazy! This world has gone crazy! Is the Lu family going to slay an Elder?!"

"Quick! Send people to Linjiang City immediately to confirm the situation!"

Messages filled with shock and disbelief flashed rapidly across the high-level channel. All the big shots who learned the news felt their scalps go numb.

Lu Chen's growth rate and the methods he displayed had completely exceeded the scope of their understanding!

Faced with Yuwen Jin's threats and the clamor in the public channel, Lu Chen merely sneered. He slowly raised the god-slaying spear, its tip pointing straight at Yuwen Jin.

"No place to stay? Once I kill all of you in the future, Wuyao City will be my place to stay!"

"Old fool, when you fed your fellow compatriots to the gods in exchange for power, did you ever think of today?"

"Blood debts must be paid in blood! Today, I'll slaughter you first to collect some interest!"

The moment he finished speaking, Lu Chen moved!

Without summoning any beast pets, he himself transformed into a stream of light that tore through space. Carrying overwhelming Evil Qi and brilliant divine light, he thrust the god-slaying spear forward!

"Little bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"

Yuwen Jin, knowing there was no hope of escape, went completely mad in his despair. Burning his essence blood, the Golden Holy Spear erupted with unprecedented light, and a Dragon shadow roared as he charged forward to meet the attack!

Boom!

Spear tip collided with spear tip!

The expected deadlock did not happen. The golden Dragon shadow was easily torn apart like paper by the dark red god-slaying spear glow!

Crack!

The Golden Holy Spear, an epic-grade weapon that had accompanied Yuwen Jin for most of his life, actually snapped inch by inch from the middle!

The god-slaying spear's momentum didn't slow in the slightest. Like a red-hot iron cutting through butter, it instantly pierced through the seemingly indestructible Golden Holy Armor on Yuwen Jin's chest and emerged from his back!

"Ugh..."

Yuwen Jin's body suddenly stiffened. He looked down at the dark red spear shaft in his chest that was constantly eroding his vitality and emitting a terrifying aura, his eyes filled with bewilderment and unwillingness.

He could not understand how he, with an SSS-grade legendary class, at the maximum level of Tier 8, and having survived a hundred battles, could be defeated so thoroughly and be so... incredibly weak!

With a flick of Lu Chen's wrist, the long spear vibrated, and the Forbidden Spell, Holy Spear: Oath of the End, was released!

Bang!

Yuwen Jin's body could no longer withstand this destructive power. It exploded with a bang, turning into a rain of blood and minced meat. Only a head, frozen in an expression of sheer horror, remained relatively intact, suspended in midair on the tip of Lu Chen's spear.

Through the public channel, Lu Chen directly sent a high-definition image of Yuwen Jin's head, which died with its eyes wide open, along with a cold declaration: "Five Elders Association, Elder Jin has been executed! Next, it's your turn!"

As soon as the image was sent, the public channel fell into an instant, dead silence.

All the big shots who saw this message and that head couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill run through their entire bodies.

One of The Five Elders... was actually killed!

And he was dominantly slain by a Tier 6 youth in such an incomparably overbearing manner!

At this moment,

everyone understood that the sky of Great Xia... was about to change!

The Void Behemoth Monge blinked its massive compound eyes and muttered, "Big Brother is mighty... Uh, do I still need to block the door? If there's nothing else, I'll go back first..."

Lu Chen put away his long spear and smiled faintly. "Thanks for your hard work. Go on back."

Monge's massive body slowly melded into the Void Realm and disappeared.

Within the Secret Realm, only Lu Chen's family and Yu Linglong remained, along with the faint smell of blood lingering in the air and an unprecedented shock.

Lu Sen looked at his son and opened his mouth, but in the end, a thousand words turned into a complex sigh as he patted Lu Chen's shoulder firmly.

Chen Rou stepped forward, sorting out her son's neat clothes with heartache and pride.

Yu Linglong's beautiful eyes shone with brilliant colors. Looking at Lu Chen's back, her heart rate inexplicably accelerated.

At the same time,

from the direction of Wuyao City, an earth-shattering, terrifying aura suddenly erupted, mixing with overwhelming anger and killing intent as it shot straight into the clouds!

Elder Xuan, Huangfu Xuan's bone-chillingly cold voice rang out in everyone's ears like thunder through the public channel:

"Lu! Chen! My Five Elders Association—will fight you to the bitter end!!!"
