Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Lu Chen’s Derisive Smile!

"Chu Zhongtian? No!"

Xuan Hong’s face changed drastically. He had no time to turn around, nor to continue pursuing Ancestor Xuanjian’s Nascent Soul, as he immediately teleported away!

"Lu Chen, it’s you!"

When he reappeared, he heard Ancestor Xuanjian’s extremely complicated tone!

Who was Lu Chen?

After a moment of thought, he widened his eyes in shock—wasn’t this the one with a damaged soul who was brought back by Chu Zhongtian in the early stages of Core Formation?

He quickly looked toward the direction where the Spiritual Power surged, only to see that Lu Chen had positioned himself between him and Ancestor Xuanjian’s Nascent Soul!

"Ancestor Xuanjian, I didn’t expect it to be you..."

Lu Chen did not recognize Xuan Hong, but seeing Ancestor Xuanjian entwined in battle with Xuan Hong in the form of the Xuanming Ice Snake, he immediately realized that Ancestor Xuanjian had been buying time for him all along.

Lu Chen’s tone was even more complex.

Yet, as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and, unafraid of facing an opponent in the late Nascent Soul Stage, directly locked his Qi onto him!

"From the early stages of Core Formation to the early Nascent Soul Stage, boy... it seems you are the one who caused all this commotion!"

Xuan Hong slowly descended toward the ground, appearing as though he was increasing his distance from Lu Chen, but in reality, he was trying to get closer to his own Shadowless Giant Sword!

Little did he know that the Shadowless Giant Sword was already being held up by the Heavenly Inquiry Giant Spear and the Ice-Strange Fire!

"Lu Chen, he’s in the late Nascent Soul Stage, without his sword in hand, if you’re confident... now’s the chance to kill him!"

Ancestor Xuanjian said through gritted teeth.

"Don’t worry, I’ll kill him," Lu Chen said calmly. He harbored absolutely no goodwill toward Xuanyun Sect.

In fact, initially, he even wanted to kill Chu Zhongtian.

But Chu Zhongtian had earned Lu Chen’s trust through his actions.

Of course, it also had to do with Chu Zhongtian’s plan to leave Xuanyun Sect.

As for Ancestor Xuanjian...

Since he was now just a Nascent Soul, also buying time for him, Lu Chen could let him go.

As long as Ancestor Xuanjian had nothing to do with the harm to his parents.

Lu Chen was clear about whom he owed favors, but no matter what, Xuan Hong must die.

He concentrated his gaze, whispering in his heart, "Inner Eye!"

Suddenly, an extraordinary brilliance flashed across Lu Chen’s eyes, revealing all of Xuan Hong’s subtle movements!

"You want the Shadowless Giant Sword?"

Reminded by Ancestor Xuanjian, Lu Chen chuckled coldly, "You want it, then I’ll give it to you! I want to see whether your sword is mighty or my spear is mightier!"

Within the same realm, Lu Chen was absolutely confident.

But letting the Shadowless Giant Sword return to Xuan Hong was not a display of arrogance.

It was because he had the same problem as Xuan Hong.

Without a spear in hand, and Xuan Hong without his sword, both their strengths would be greatly affected.

But...

The Shadowless Giant Sword, having been scorched by the Ice-Strange Fire for a while, was probably not as handy for him as his own Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

"Hahaha, boy, you actually returned the sword to the Sword Cultivator? I thought it was only because I was swordless that you, a beginner in the Nascent Soul Stage, dared to be so arrogant. But it seems you’ve overplayed your arrogance!"

The Shadowless Giant Sword was Xuan Hong’s source of confidence. Although using himself as a sword could unleash mighty power, the toll it took on him was immense.

Xuan Hong quickly dissipated the Xuan Yun Sword Qi and then pinched a Sword Technique in his hand.

The next moment, with a thunderous roar, the ground shook again.

The dark Shadowless Giant Sword, like a heavenly weapon descending, hovered in front of Xuan Hong!

"Heavenly Weapon Descent!"

Without waiting for the Shadowless Giant Sword to stabilize, he swiftly changed his hand seals, and the Shadowless Giant Sword tumbled through the air, swooping toward Lu Chen like a flying dagger!

"Is that all?"

Lu Chen sneered contemptuously.

The sword was fast.

But in his eyes, it was as slow as a snail!

Simply because he was now in the Nascent Soul Stage, and the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique would no longer be limited!

"Heavenly Inquiry Spear!"

Lu Chen casually raised his hand, and the massive Heavenly Inquiry Spear also burst forth, meeting the oncoming Shadowless Giant Sword!

"Boom!"

Spear and sword collided.

The next moment, the Shadowless Giant Sword was flung backward, counterattacking towards Xuan Hong!

"This spear... is no ordinary weapon!"

Xuan Hong’s face changed, as he could clearly see the Heavenly Inquiry Spear was Lu Chen’s Lifebound Magic Weapon, but could such a weapon really be this powerful?

His Shadowless Giant Sword had been nurtured continuously since he joined Xuanyun Sect—constantly tempered and improved.

And Lu Chen, was only in the early stages of Core Formation before!

Could his Heavenly Inquiry Spear keep up with the pace of his cultivation?

Therefore...

Was this exceptional spear indeed his miraculous encounter?

The Shadowless Giant Sword, just like when it attacked Lu Chen, flew back towards Xuan Hong, who dared not catch it directly, and could not continue to retreat.

And to forcefully confront Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Giant Spear would be contrary to his cultivation of the Shadowless Sword Technique—it would be avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial!

Hence, Xuan Hong pinched the Sword Technique again, shrinking the Shadowless Sword back to the thinness of a cow’s hair, smoothly catching the sword in his hand!

He intended.

To deal with Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Giant Spear with the flexibility of the Shadowless Sword!

But then.

An unexpected change occurred!

On the Shadowless Sword, a blue flame suddenly emerged!

The flame spread upwards, first freezing the two fingers holding the Shadowless Sword into icy fragments!

Ice-Strange Fire!
