Chapter 1396: Chapter 1355: Yun Yan Makes a Move

Upon hearing this remark, Grand Elder Huang Quan abruptly burst into laughter.

“Lu Chuan, I admire your courage, but I can tell you right now—the one who will leave here alive is certainly me.”

“Why don’t we test that theory?”

Lu Chuan willed his thoughts, and the Divine Fire of the Sun erupted forth, transforming into a Flame Spear that shot violently toward Grand Elder Huang Quan’s face!

But Grand Elder Huang Quan did not even attempt to evade. Swinging his Blood Knife downward, he cleanly severed the Flame Spear with precision!

“This kind of trick won’t hurt me, Lu Chuan, you know that.”

Lu Chuan didn’t bother wasting words with Grand Elder Huang Quan. He formed a spell with his fingertips, the Mystic Spirit Haunting Spike stirring ink-black energy, transformed into towering mountains that aimed to suppress Grand Elder Huang Quan, but were scattered by an overwhelming surge of blood-red power!

After all, Huang Quan remained at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer. Even though he had lost his physical body and was far from his peak, the gap between their realms was not something that could be so easily bridged!

At this pivotal moment, Lu Chuan suddenly felt his consciousness becoming hazy. The aftereffects of the imminent transformation of his Primal Chaos Indestructible Body instantly placed him at a disadvantage!

Grand Elder Huang Quan wasn’t clear on what was happening, but with his years of accumulated experience, he naturally wouldn’t let such a rare opportunity slip by. He closed in swiftly, slashing down with his blade. Lu Chuan, while enduring the dizziness, dodged Huang Quan’s strikes clumsily, but he couldn’t avoid getting his arm cut. The ghastly wound brought agony that jolted Lu Chuan back to clarity!

“Damn it! It just had to be now!”

Gritting his teeth, Lu Chuan grabbed the Thief’s Gourd and stole Huang Quan’s aura. Though it was only for a brief moment, it bought him a precious window to catch his breath!

“Tower Spirit!”

“Impossible! Yun Yan has joined forces with the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint to attempt an assault on the Demon Suppression Pagoda. I must focus entirely on suppressing the two of them and cannot spare any attention!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan felt a headache coming on.

This was undoubtedly intentional!

Indeed, he had been too lax recently. In fact, he had nearly forgotten that the two Great Demons within the Demon Suppression Pagoda had never truly been his allies. As long as they saw an opportunity, they would seize every chance to escape!

Should he use the Divine Skill “Karma Touch”?

Lu Chuan hesitated.

Not to mention whether “Karma Touch” would be effective against Grand Elder Huang Quan—if it were to succeed, the karmic consequences tied to a thousand-year-old demon like Huang Quan, and particularly Shen Sahuaguniang’s involvement in such karma, were unfathomable. Lu Chuan could even face karmic backlash himself.

Clearly, the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Lu Chuan.

“It seems you’ve run out of tricks, Lu Chuan.”

Noticing Lu Chuan’s dilemma, Grand Elder Huang Quan broke into uproarious laughter.

“I’ve always looked forward to this day—to carve you open, tear out your heart, and rip out your guts! But rest assured, you are merely the beginning. After killing you, I will turn the entire Island Country into my Furnace Cauldron, aiding me in breaking through to the Spirit Splitting Realm, perhaps even reaching the Integration Realm!

At that point, I will head to Cathay and obliterate everything you hold dear!”

“You don’t need to share your delusions aloud.”

At the right time, a voice rang out, and Xiu Niang forcibly shattered her bonds and joined Lu Chuan’s side.

“Trash like you who daydream all day long—I’ve seen plenty of your kind, and without a doubt, you’re the absolute worst variety of man.”

“Xiu Niang, why are you here?”

Looking at Xiu Niang’s profile, Lu Chuan clenched his teeth and said, “He’s incredibly difficult to deal with!”

“I can tell, otherwise you wouldn’t be struggling like this.”

“What I mean is, this place is dangerous. You shouldn’t have come!”

“What, I was supposed to sit back and watch you die? Then I’d be left as a widow? If you’re willing to let all your other wives marry someone else, then I’ll leave now.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan sighed helplessly and said, “Are you here to help me or to irritate me?”

“Can’t it be both? It’s your fault for acting tough. Let me make it clear. If you die, I’m definitely not keeping widow’s vows—I’ll play however I want!”

“You… Forget it, just leave. I’d rather not die from a beating but from your temper instead.”

“Hmph, always so sharp-tongued. Maybe stop giving me reasons to nag at you? Do you really think I care about some relic or another? I only worried you’d mess around and get yourself killed!”

BOOM!

As soon as Xiu Niang finished speaking, an overwhelming Blood Sea surged forward in massive waves. Clearly, Grand Elder Huang Quan’s patience had reached its limit; he had no intention of listening to their nonsense any longer.

“I’ll send both of you on your way together!”

“Do you even deserve to?”

With a cold snort, Xiu Niang’s shoulders shimmered, and her gauzy shawl instantly transformed into countless silk wires, weaving into a massive net. Under the control of her Spiritual Power, the net forcibly severed the Blood Sea!

Upon witnessing this sight, Lu Chuan finally remembered that Xiu Niang had never needed his protection. Being at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer herself, even without his support, she had entirely enough strength to face off against Grand Elder Huang Quan!

“Who would dare think I’m easy to bully?! If it weren’t for that lunatic Li Yingnu, I’d have been at the Spirit Splitting Realm ages ago!”

Seemingly reminded of certain past events, Xiu Niang’s anger flared. She shattered the Blood Sea in a single move and launched an aggressive attack!

Silken threads shot out, tightly binding Grand Elder Huang Quan’s body. With Xiu Niang’s control, the threads punctured his skin and flowed into his body. Seeing this, Lu Chuan ceased hesitating. Advancing swiftly, he formed his fingers into a sword and stabbed toward Grand Elder Huang Quan’s forehead!

“You… fools courting death!”

Feeling the excruciating pain within his body, akin to countless ants gnawing at him, Grand Elder Huang Quan’s face turned scarlet. A guttural growl erupted from his throat, and his killing intent solidified into a tangible force that shattered the silken threads entirely!

The next moment, the razor-sharp Blood Knife slashed forward without mercy. Lu Chuan’s pupils contracted—at this distance, evasion was impossible!

“Tsk, an idiot is an idiot! Can’t even handle someone like this? In the end, I still have to step in.”

A extremely sensual voice chimed near Lu Chuan’s ear. The next second, a snow-white fox tail emerged from behind Lu Chuan, colliding heavily with the Blood Knife and deflecting it!

“Lu Chuan, you owe me another favor now. I’ll find a time to collect.”

“Yun… Yun Yan? How can you…”

“How can I help you? Heh… That question—you’ll have to ask the Tower Spirit. That crazy woman is completely out of her mind!

In short, if you die, all of us are doomed to perish entirely. Congratulations, Lu Chuan. Starting today, you are the true master of the Demon Suppression Pagoda.”

This statement left Lu Chuan bewildered, but now was not the time for such considerations.

Watching Grand Elder Huang Quan stumble from the unexpected development, Lu Chuan activated the Thief’s Gourd once more, stealing Huang Quan’s Divine Sense!

In that brief moment of distraction, the Flame Spear gathered, effortlessly piercing through Grand Elder Huang Quan’s body and impaling his heart, leaving behind a gaping blood-filled cavity!
