Chapter 492: Kong Wu Goes First, Lu Chen Fights Three Alone!

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Kong Wu Goes First, Lu Chen Fights Three Alone!

Plans changed again and again.

From killing Kong Wu first, to prioritizing the three followers, and then to delaying these people...

Lu Chen had to compromise and eventually realized that in order to ensure the safety of Qin Yaotiao and the others, he had no choice but to reveal himself and engage them here.

Instead of getting entangled, seek opportunities!

But no matter how exquisite his movement technique was or how fast his speed, he couldn’t compare to the three pursuing him through Artifact Control Flight!

"It’s no use, if I keep running like this, even if I reach the cave, it’ll be too late!"

Seeing them getting farther away, Lu Chen gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and still threw out his flying sword, stepping onto it to ascend by Sword Flight!

With this move, Kong Wu and the others immediately became aware.

Even if Kong Wu’s three juniors were just average Inner Sect Disciples in the Haotian Sect, they were top-notch in other sects and naturally sensed the change!

They immediately stopped and took position behind Kong Wu.

"I didn’t expect him to dare chase after us?"

Kong Wu also turned around, his gaze intently fixed on Lu Chen. After a moment of contemplation, he speculated, "It seems he’s employing a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain! There must be people in that cave!"

"Brother Kong, what should we do now?"

An anxious Foundation Establishment Stage disciple quickly asked.

"He’s doing this, even smashing many Magic Artifacts along the way. It seems there must be someone injured over there or someone without the strength to fight back! Hmph, I’ll go take a look. You guys capture him alive; I want to see what kind of disciples a second-rate sect like the Casting Gear Pavilion produces!"

Having said this, Kong Wu sneered disdainfully and then turned to continue forward.

In his view, no matter how strong Lu Chen was, he wouldn’t be a match for the three of them!

How could the abilities of the Haotian Sect be understood by someone from an Artificing Sect?

Taking Yu Zhibai as an example, possessing a single-system Mutated Ice Spirit Root and desired by him to be recommended to join the Haotian Sect, it was clear that even if Lu Chen was stronger than Yu Zhibai, it wouldn’t be by much!

Unknowingly, Kong Wu again made the mistake of arrogance, but unfortunately, he wasn’t aware of it.

He just wanted to hurry and if he could obtain the Wood Spiritual Bead without anyone knowing, it would be perfect.

It would be one of his trump cards when achieving Core Formation!

Kong Wu’s departure brought both shock and delight to Lu Chen.

What shocked him was his concern that Kong Wu would go directly to the cave.

The delight, naturally, was that with Kong Wu gone, the pressure on him would be greatly reduced!

Right now, he didn’t have the advantage in speed, and even if he caught up with Kong Wu and tangled with him, he reckoned the three Foundation Establishment Stage disciples would still catch up.

At this critical juncture...

...He had to achieve a swift victory, slaying these three right here and then chasing after Kong Wu!

It was true, this posed a certain risk to Qin Yaotiao and Li Yanran.

But at the moment, there was no better strategy!

With Kong Wu’s arrogance, the three disciples also relaxed significantly once he left.

"A Sword Cultivator, and he even resorted to Sword Flight. Now he’s unarmed, let him feel the might of our Vast Heaven Jue!"

"Indeed, even if he’s from Ji Pavilion, what good are numerous magical tools if they’re not handy?"

"Hahaha, I’ll strike first, you guys just watch from the side!"

The three had expressions full of scorn, not taking Lu Chen seriously at all.

They had the capital to do so, being from the first-rate Haotian Sect and this being the Haotian Secret Realm.

"Then let’s leave it to you, and we can save some energy!"

"Perfect to see how well Brother Zhu has learned the Vast Heaven Palm!"

The Vast Heaven Jue was the basic Cultivation Technique; accompanying it were many spells, and the Vast Heaven Palm was one of them!

While Lu Chen was engaged in Sword Flight, they too were flying with their artifacts. Without a magic artifact in hand, they naturally faced him with bare palms.

"Then you guys just watch closely!"

Brother Zhu exerted a little force and the artifact under his feet shot out swiftly!

As he chanted his spell, Spiritual Power began to gather in his hands. In just a moment, his right palm was enveloped in Spiritual Power!

He slowly extended his hand toward Lu Chen, with the spiritual power circulating, forming a giant hand made of Spiritual Power the size of a person!

"Kid, you’re like an ant trying to shake a tree, a grain of rice daring to outshine the glorious moon?"

With a grim smile, the giant palm pressed down towards Lu Chen, the vast Spiritual Power causing the winds and clouds in the sky to change color!

This aftershock was something even an average early-stage Core Formation cultivator wouldn’t achieve; one could only imagine how strong the disciples of Haotian Sect could be!

But unexpectedly, Lu Chen also twisted his hand, and the Wen Tian spear suddenly appeared!

He was most afraid that the three would attack him all at once.

Since you dare to come alone, then it’s perfect to defeat you one by one!

To save time, Lu Chen didn’t choose to retreat at all.

"Hateful Heaven Spear Technique, Immortal Guides the Way!"
