Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Killing the Dean, Li Mingru Ambushes Again!

The emergence of Elder Tianyao and Li Mingru’s attack had taken only a few breaths of time.

Li Mingru might be a Half-Realm cultivator, but Lu Chen was no longer the Bone Refinement Realm martial artist he once was!

He had already cultivated spiritual power from within, his body tempered by spiritual power. Not to mention being stronger than the Bone Refinement Realm, even those in the Visceral Refinement Realm would find it hard to injure a hair on him!

However, Li Mingru was indeed capable of injuring Lu Chen.

When his Yuan force, mixed with spiritual power, struck the unsuspecting Lu Chen, his heart also jolted in alarm!

At this moment, his full force was directed at attacking the dean, with his mind set on taking him down first. He had neglected Li Mingru’s strength!

The old strength had not yet faded, the new had yet to emerge!

If he allowed Li Mingru to injure him, he might lose the hard-earned upper hand he had just gained!

However, forcefully stopping his Spear Strikes the Sky might lead to the same outcome!

Just as the situation reached a critical juncture, a figure shot up from beneath the ground and pounced towards Lu Chen’s back!

Boom!

Li Mingru’s full-powered palm struck heavily against him!

Sputter!

Another sound of blood being spat out arose and immediately, a strong scent of blood suffused the air, tinged with a hint of medicinal aroma.

Elder Tianyao!

Lu Chen was startled, and any wariness he had against the elder immediately dissipated.

A martial artist willing to risk his life to protect his back was someone he could choose to trust, even if their relationship was founded on mutual benefits!

"Lu Chen, hurry and kill the dean!"

Though he could not see clearly, he knew that Lu Chen’s successive moves had the dean in a state of panic, which proved that Lu Chen had not been boasting previously!

Furthermore, as an observer, he could feel that Lu Chen’s spiritual power was purer than that of the dean!

If Lu Chen were injured, they both might die!

Better to risk his own life to protect Lu Chen!

Elder Tianyao’s body crashed heavily against a tree!

And that tree was precisely the one the dean was climbing!

The branches shook, causing the dean’s grip to slip!

"Great opportunity!"

Lu Chen quickly collected his thoughts, aware that the moment would pass in a flash.

A formidable opponent like the dean, if given a chance to catch his breath, would make it difficult for himself to find another opportunity, not to mention that Li Mingru still had the strength to fight!

But now, his spear had been thrown, leaving his hands empty!

If that was the case, then he might as well use his fists!

He infused his Five Elements Spiritual Power into his legs and ferociously kicked against the trunk of the tree!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The ancient tree shook again, and as the dean dodged the spear Lu Chen had thrown and thought to descend from above to strike down Lu Chen, the trembling of the trunk caused him to lose his handhold.

What was even more unexpected for him was that Lu Chen also immediately had a countermeasure!

"Without my spear, let’s see how you will fight me!"

The dean was unwilling to continue being suppressed by Lu Chen. Thinking thus, he let go of the trunk and with his head pointing downward, he stretched out both palms fiercely!

"Lu Chen, let me show you what the power of a cultivator really is!"

This fury from successive setbacks burst forth in that moment. His palms surged with spiritual power, and even before he landed, the dry leaves and dust on the ground were already swirling upwards!

"You think I’m not a cultivator?"

Lu Chen had anticipated the dean’s actions. He forcefully adopted a horse stance, his legs sinking deeply into the soil!

Then, he channeled all his spiritual power into his right fist.

"Without a spear, I still have spiritual power! You’re not the only one with spiritual power!"

Lu Chen threw a punch towards the sky with all his might, unleashing a torrent of spiritual power!

Boom!

Their fists and palms met, and the colossal spiritual powers collided, producing a thunderous noise!

The entire Tianyuan mountain range shook, the sound echoing deep into its depths!

Beneath their feet, a vast pit formed!

The dean leveraged the momentum of his descent, and he had entered the Qi Refinement Realm before Lu Chen, being more cunning and ruthless!

But Lu Chen possessed the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique and had long seen through the weaknesses in the dean’s palms and spiritual power!

This punch was aimed precisely there!

"Die for me!"

Lu Chen’s body was in extreme discomfort as he roared furiously, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood!

Blood splattered, and the dean screamed in agony, his body plummeting down!

"Lu Chen, you... you actually managed to kill the dean!"

From the side, Li Mingru’s voice rang out in horror, but then, killing intent surged!

Li Mingru attacked Lu Chen once again!

"You’re too strong, I can only kill you!"
