Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Strike to Deal with the Core Formation Stage, Paralyzing Each Other!

"Xiao Bai, what happened?"

Lu Chen rushed back at an extreme speed, only to see that the protective seals around Chu Zhongtian’s place of seclusion showed no signs of anomalies, so he guessed that someone might have broken in outside.

However, he had never expected that a Core Formation Stage Overseer would have found this place.

Unfortunately, the Xuanming Ice Snake could not speak in human language, but it kept nodding in the direction outside the sealed area.

Lu Chen looked over.

"Core Formation Stage!"

Seeing a Core Formation Stage Overseer seated there, calmly meditating, Lu Chen also gasped in surprise!

It wasn’t that he was afraid of this one person.

Rather, from the other’s demeanor, it was clear that he had come prepared.

"How long has it been?"

Lu Chen quickly asked.

"Sss... sss..."

This time, Lu Chen sort of understood that it hadn’t been long.

Lu Chen didn’t know how deep the mine was, but since the other party had not been there long, it meant that he could certainly slay him right here and now!

Glancing back at Chu Zhongtian, who was still absorbing Medium Grade Spirit Stones, Lu Chen’s gaze became firm.

"Xiao Bai, you stay here and guard this place. I’ll go out and kill him!"

"Sss—"

After receiving a response from the Xuanming Ice Snake, Lu Chen reined in his aura and slowly approached the seal!

Only when he stood before the seal did Lu Chen realize that there was a gap in one corner of the seal!

This indicated that it was very possible the intruder had discovered Chu Zhongtian amid his breakthrough!

"No matter how he found out, we can’t stay here long!"

Originally, they had planned to take the opportunity to break out on the day they were to trade Spirit Stones.

But they had not expected to be discovered prematurely, and now their plan had to be advanced!

Just that Chu Zhongtian’s breakthrough, they didn’t know when it would end!

That was the least of the concerns.

Lu Chen feared that the subsequent Core Formation Stage cultivators who came would interrupt Chu Zhongtian’s cultivation!

"Alas, why has it come to this?"

Lu Chen sighed softly, then braced himself. What else could be done at this point?

He could only try to salvage the situation as best as he could.

Deciding on a course of action, Lu Chen moved closer to the seal.

He activated the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to its utmost, fixing his full attention on the Core Formation Overseer before rushing out abruptly. With Ice Spiritual Power condensed in his right hand, he threw a fierce punch!

"Boom!"

Even before the force of the punch reached him, the Core Formation Stage cultivator reacted extremely swiftly. He was already a minor realm higher than Lu Chen and was simply resting with his eyes closed here.

The slightest fluctuation in the Spiritual Power on the seal alerted him, but Lu Chen’s speed was a bit too fast!

Being unable to counterattack didn’t mean he couldn’t dodge.

Additionally, Lu Chen wasn’t skilled at fist fighting.

This punch was blocked by his Xuan Yun Sword Qi!

After retreating several steps, he summoned the Shadowless Sword to encircle him and stared intently at Lu Chen!

"You’re that soul-damaged person Chu Zhongtian brought in!"

When he saw Lu Chen clearly, the Core Formation Stage cultivator was also quite surprised.

At the time, when Chu Zhongtian wanted to bring Lu Chen in, these Core Formation Stage cultivators had also glanced at Lu Chen, but as Elder Long had personally handed him over, they didn’t think too much of it.

Besides, Chu Zhongtian was supposed to mine for four years here, so they let Lu Chen enter the mine with Chu Zhongtian.

But they did not expect that within just a few months, not only had Lu Chen recovered, but he had also nearly killed him here!

"That’s right, it’s me."

Lu Chen stepped forward boldly and threw another punch.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing how decisively Lu Chen acted, the Core Formation Overseer was also moved to kill, thinking to himself that Lu Chen’s earlier ruckus might have involved the Xuanming Ice Snake treating him, perhaps.

It seemed that the snake was very mysterious indeed.

He didn’t know why the magical serpent had not emerged.

But that didn’t matter.

All he needed to do was slay this early-stage Core Formation cultivator!

He retreated continuously, while fully activating his Spiritual Sense, locking onto every part of Lu Chen’s body.

In his view, every move Lu Chen made was within his control; just as long as Lu Chen’s attacks missed continuously, it would be his own chance to counterattack.

The Shadowless Sword excelled in surprise attacks.

He would not miss any opportunity, no matter how tiny!

He was thinking of launching a surprise attack, but so was Lu Chen...

Lu Chen was also thinking of a surprise attack!

Only, Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear was thicker, harder, and longer!

Lu Chen didn’t directly use the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, using his clumsy boxing instead, aiming to lull his opponent.

Yet the Core Formation Stage cultivator never used the Shadowless Sword, similarly aiming to lull Lu Chen.

But what he didn’t know was...

Lu Chen had already seen right through him!

Finally!

Lu Chen exposed a flaw!

A glint of excitement shone in the Core Formation Overseer’s eyes.

Whoosh—

The Shadowless Sword moved.

In the darkness, it swiftly struck at Lu Chen’s forehead!

And at that moment...

Lu Chen swiftly ducked down, and the Heavenly Inquiry Spear unexpectedly appeared in his hand without warning.

"Spear Strikes the Sky!"
