Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Lu Chen counter-kills until exhausted, Xu Yueru takes the opportunity to make a move!

Watching the helpless Lu Chen, Lu Tianming’s lips curled into a cruel smile.

Had it not been for the reminder from Xu Yueru, he wouldn’t have thought to use the Sword Qi Emission.

Though powerful, this move would instantly deplete all the spiritual power within his Dantian the moment it was used, to the point where even an ordinary Martial Artist in the Skin Refinement Realm could kill him afterward.

Therefore, he would absolutely not resort to it unless it was a matter of life or death.

In his eyes, Lu Chen might as well have been a dead man already. With no Dantian, and even if the burning stick in his hand was a treasure, could it possibly block this incorporeal Sword Qi?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sword light passed through where Lu Chen stood, continuing deep into the forest, knocking down several trees before the glow finally dissipated, and darkness once again enveloped the woods.

Only the echoes lingered on.

Lu Tianming squinted his eyes for a moment, as he struggled to see clearly, turning his gaze toward where Lu Chen had been standing.

But between the dead leaves and soil on the ground, he couldn’t make out any human figure at all!

"Was he blasted to smithereens?"

Lu Tianming wondered, deciding to move forward to check.

At that moment, Xu Yueru once again screamed in alarm, "Tianming, watch out behind you!"

Immediately, Lu Tianming felt a chill down his spine, as if a venomous snake was eyeing him!

He wanted to run!

Yet, having his spiritual power depleted by Sword Qi Emission, although his mind was willing, his body was weak!

Lu Tianming hastily attempted a rolling dive to evade Lu Chen’s attack, but he had forgotten that Lu Chen wielded a burning stick – a spear technique!

Great Roc Spreads Its Wings!

After Lu Tianming’s roll dodged the initial Spear Strikes Like a Dragon, Lu Chen did not hesitate to push off with his legs, leaping forward and raising the burning stick high above!

And then, he slammed it down hard!

Thud!

A muffled sound was heard as Lu Tianming’s head was smashed to pieces!

Blood spattered in all directions, filling the air with a ghastly stench!

Lu Tianming didn’t even have the chance to let out a single scream before he fell, lifeless.

Lu Chen breathed heavily, from the point when he dealt with Xu Yueru’s henchmen until now, he had used seven spear techniques, and his body felt like an oil-depleted lamp wavering on the verge of collapse!

If he hadn’t been worried about Qin Yaotiao’s safety, he probably would have collapsed!

But at that moment, Xu Yueru also discerned Lu Chen’s dire state, suddenly hurled aside the restrained Qin Yaotiao and charged ferociously at Lu Chen!

"Lu Chen, die!"

Her hands morphed into claws, one front and the other back, her nails gleamed with a cold light, revealing an unheard-of cultivation technique!

As she ran forward, the two mounds on her chest bounced out of her top—this ghostly, blood-drenched forest made her look like a disheveled ghost coming to claim lives!

With no spiritual power left to use, Lu Chen’s pupils could only discern Xu Yueru’s movements but couldn’t slow them down.

In his desperation, Lu Chen also clutched the burning stick and, learning from Lu Tianming’s earlier maneuver, rolled to the side!

"Xu Yueru, you won’t get that jade pendant even if you kill me!"

Lu Chen shouted as he rolled, just needing a bit more time, even just a hint of spiritual power to be used in his pupil, and he was certain he could handle Xu Yueru!

Unexpectedly, Xu Yueru pursued relentlessly, cackling wickedly!

"Lu Chen, I’ve finally realized how you managed to kill a Martial Artist from the Marrow Refinement Realm. It must be because you’ve placed that jade pendant inside your eye socket! I originally thought you simply used a black glazed bead as a fake eye. Little did I know, by placing the jade pendant there, you’ve stumbled upon a strange fortune!"

Xu Yueru had personally witnessed Lu Chen’s left eye being gouged out at the Lu Family.

And after the pupil was set inside the eye, it turned completely black, making it look nothing like the jade pendant’s creamy texture; naturally, she didn’t suspect a thing.

When Lu Tianming emitted his Sword Qi, the area brightened, and Xu Yueru, worried she wouldn’t find out the location of the jade pendant if Lu Chen died, watched him closely.

It was right then, she saw Lu Chen close his right eye in a critical moment!

Afterwards, he evaded the attack and got behind Lu Tianming!

Thinking back, how could she not have guessed?

With this realization, there was no need for her to put on any more acts with Lu Chen. While he was utterly weakened, she would take his life!

Xu Yueru made the right decision, Chase Lu Chen, who was powerless, scrambling in disarray like a stray dog!

Without spiritual power, what difference was there between him and an ordinary person?

But Lu Chen did not give up and simply kept his right eye shut tight.

For his left eye was his only chance at a turnaround!

But this time, Lu Chen was wrong.

After staggering around corners for a good while, his foot slipped on the blood shed by Lu Tianming, and he tumbled to the ground!

Xu Yueru seized the opportunity to close in, her hand-shaped like a claw, sneering as she reached for Lu Chen’s crown!
