Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Breaking the Demonic Power, and the Demon Pupil!

The sword bore no killing intent; they were merely speeding up the rescue of Lu Chen in order to deal with the magical beasts pursuing them from behind.

Given their realms, it was relatively easy for them to control their Spiritual Power.

At this moment, Lu Chen was flying intently towards the distance, utterly unaware of the three sharp Sword Qi that suddenly struck.

Whoosh——

It must be said that Qing Nan and his two companions had attained extremely high levels of swordsmanship; they sliced through the sphere of demonic power in an instant!

Caught off-guard, Lu Chen almost suffered injury from the Sword Qi, but his reflexes were extremely quick. When he sensed the presence of Spiritual Power flowing from the three sword marks, he rapidly controlled his body to descend!

At the same time, he released his Spiritual Sense, and upon seeing it was Qing Nan and his two companions, he couldn’t help but shout sternly, "You almost ruined my plan!"

"Fellow Daoist!"

Qing Nan’s face changed; being scolded by someone in the Early Nascent Soul Stage would have warranted a lesson in the past, but Lu Chen had demonstrated his strength, making Qing Nan dare not underestimate him. He also placed all hopes of survival on Lu Chen and explained, "We were also trying to rescue you!"

"Of course I know that," Lu Chen didn’t stop flying. Instead, he diverted some of his Spiritual Power to forcefully expand the three sword marks while Ice-Strange Fire and Earth Fire burned inside and out. Lu Chen could feel the dispersal of demonic power and said, "I had intended to separate and deal with these beasts; instead, you led the remaining ones right to us!"

Qing Nan showed a remorseful expression and said, "Fellow Daoist, we really had no other choice, we were afraid we couldn’t maintain the Azure Cloud Sword Formation!"

Lu Chen scoffed and shot back, "What does your inability to maintain it have to do with me? I got to this point considering we are fellow cultivators, yet I did not expect you to be so unappreciative!"

Lu Chen’s words were sharp, though he did not truly blame them. His ultimate aim was to dominate the trio in terms of momentum, so when they faced the magical beasts once more, they would follow his commands without any discrepancies.

"Please don’t be offended, fellow Daoist, we truly were unaware of your situation! Now that you have reappeared and are about to destroy this sphere of demonic power, we will follow your commands!"

Qing Nan had been fleeing for his life and did not have Lu Chen’s meticulous mindset. His initiative in declaring his stance was exactly what Lu Chen intended.

"Hmph," Lu Chen harrumphed, and said, "We’ll settle this matter with you later. I still need to neutralize all the demonic power. Follow closely, and if the magical beasts catch up, you’ll need to hold them off for me a bit, as I have a way to deal with those beasts!"

Qing Nan hurriedly replied, "We’re happy to oblige!"

Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he drew back his Chaos Spirit Power.

He could save them, but only under the condition that his own safety was completely assured.

Now that Wen Tian spear spirit was controlling Ice-Strange Fire, he was as good as unarmed and naturally needed as much Chaos Spirit Power as possible as a lifesaving trump card.

Though the likelihood of them turning on each other was small, in such circumstances, any mishap could result in certain death for him!

Lu Chen did not dare to be negligent, so he used all his Spiritual Power to continue flying, his mind connecting with the Earth Fire!

Without the obstruction of demonic power, he could reestablish communication with Earth Fire!

"Earth Fire, how’s the situation?"

Lu Chen asked mentally.

"Master, it looks rather good at the moment. With the breakthrough in the demonic power, I believe it won’t take much longer to burn it away completely!"

Lu Chen’s heart lifted on hearing this, and he inquired of the Wen Tian spear spirit, "What about the Ice-Strange Fire? How is it doing?"

"Master, at most half an incense stick’s time, and we should burn through!"

Everything was progressing in a favorable direction, adding to Lu Chen’s joy.

Half an incense stick’s time quickly passed, and the demonic power was becoming increasingly scarce.

Just when it seemed like it would be eradicated, the voices of both Ice-Strange Fire and Earth Fire simultaneously rang in Lu Chen’s mind!

"Master, this is bad. Within the demonic power, there actually lies a Demon Pupil!"
