Chapter 657: A Shock at First Sight
The reason why Zhao Tianyu did not kill Lu Chen immediately after intercepting him.
It was because of the fighting power displayed by Lu Chen that Zhao Tianyu realized that the martial arts practiced by Lu Chen was extraordinary.
You know, the later you advance in the path of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through.
If you have a good practice, you can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
That's why Zhao Tianyu wanted to learn Lu Chen's martial arts.
Of course, you might say, if we just capture Lu Chen and search his soul, wouldn’t we know everything?
However, Lu Chen was able to use heavenly fire, and it was the advanced third-level Mist Lotus Heart Fire.
Its terrifying power is so great that even a big shot in the Spirit Severing stage would not be able to resist it, not to mention that Zhao Tianyu is only in the Great Perfection of the Out-of-Body Stage.
The only drawback is that Skyfire is only suitable for unexpected, close-range attacks, and can be easily avoided by the opponent.
Another thing is that the soul-searching technique is only effective on living people; it cannot be used on dead people.
Otherwise, with Zhao Tianyu's strength, there would be no chance for Lu Chen to jump around like that.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly and rejected many possibilities of escape in his mind.
However, Zhao Tianyu's question gave Lu Chen a brief time to think.
Just when Lu Chen felt he was at his wit's end, a black shadow was flying towards him from the northern horizon at an extremely fast speed.
Because the direction Lu Chen was facing was exactly north, he was the first to discover this.
What’s more valuable is that in just a breath, the black shadow has come into view.
It was obviously an advanced flying ship. Judging from its appearance and flying speed, it was not difficult to guess that the people inside were extremely powerful.
At this time, Zhao Chengzhi and others also discovered the flying ship, in order to avoid any trouble.
Zhao Chengzhi sent a message through his spiritual consciousness, telling everyone not to act rashly and to wait until the flying ship left before taking any action.
However, when Lu Chen saw this, his eyes turned and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
Then, Lu Chen smiled evilly, and with a thought, he connected his consciousness to the lightning bead in his dantian, and silently chanted "Thunderbolt" in his heart.
In an instant, the sky suddenly changed color, and then a series of "crackling" sounds of thunder and lightning suddenly rang out.
Then, hundreds of blue lightning arcs as thick as buckets, with Lu Chen as the center, struck directly at Zhao Chengzhi and others with the momentum of destroying the world.
"Ah...it's actually a thunder tribulation! Sect Master, please save me..."
The sudden change caught Zhao Chengzhi's men off guard.
There were also a few subordinates with poor skills who were blasted into pieces by the horrific lightning arcs before they could even finish their words while dodging.
Thunder and lightning are something that all living things are born with a fear of, and monks are no exception.
Especially the thunder tribulation, which is really the nightmare of all cultivators.
I don’t know how many cultivators have practiced hard all their lives, only to be struck to ashes by lightning when they were trying to overcome the tribulation.
Zhao Tianyu wanted to protect Zhao Chengzhi, and Lu Chen used the method of thunder tribulation.
This made him want to obtain Lu Chen's martial arts even more, so he did not attack Lu Chen.
After retreating with Zhao Chengzhi, the two were not injured, but the distance between them and Lu Chen was widened a lot.
"Damn it, I'm going to kill him. Tianyu, go kill that guy for me."
Seeing that several of his men had died, Zhao Chengzhi immediately gave orders in a rage.
"Crack, crack... boom..."
Zhao Tianyu looked at Lu Chen who was in the thunder and lightning. He wanted to take action but when he realized it was too late.
Because Lu Chen did it on purpose, the lightning not only forced Zhao Chengzhi and others to retreat, but also hit the flying ship that was coming at a very fast speed.
You know, in this world where strength is respected, Lu Chen's behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to the strong, and the result can be imagined.
Things turned out just as Lu Chen had thought. The flying ship that was hit really stopped a few dozen meters away from them.
Then, more than twenty figures teleported and appeared in front of Lu Chen and others, lined up in a row, except that the people on both sides were slightly behind.
One of the young monks narrowed his eyes immediately when he saw Lu Chen.
He was tall and handsome, with sharp eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a sutra on his head. He looked to be about 24 or 25 years old.
Even though he was wearing a plain white robe, it couldn't conceal his unique temperament.
This person is none other than Li Changlong, the direct disciple of Jiang Zhengchun, the head of the Spirit Beast Palace of the Nine Star Sect in the Central Plains. He is a peerless genius with a full spiritual root of ninth-level fire attribute.
Because Li Changlong had suffered losses at the hands of Lu Chen many times, combined with the thunder tribulation just now, he immediately guessed that it was Lu Chen who did it.
At the moment, he sneered in his heart, but pretended to be righteous on the surface, looking at Lu Chen and said coldly:
"It's you! I didn't expect you to be so bold as to attack the ships of our Cultivator Alliance. Why don't you just come here and die!"
As soon as Li Changlong finished speaking, he realized that he was a little rash, and hurriedly explained respectfully to an old man next to him who was wearing a black robe.
After hearing this, Lu Chen ignored Li Changlong and quickly glanced at the others.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, Lu Chen was almost frightened and fell from the air.
It was seen that among the twenty-five people on the other side, there were not only ten young cultivators in the early to middle stage of the out-of-body state.
Each of them has a good appearance, and can be described as a rare talent. It is not difficult to guess that they should be the leaders of the younger generation of each major force.
What’s even more terrible is that each of the fifteen elders in the middle has a natural temperament, as if they have merged into one with the sky.
It goes without saying that such a person's cultivation must be unfathomable.
"Oh no! Could this group of people be the ancestors of the top forces, taking their descendants to participate in some activities?
What should I do? This is such a sin. It seems that I can only expose the Golden Pearl World today. Otherwise, how can I escape?"
After Lu Chen looked at the person who came, he thought sadly in his heart.
After seeing this group of people, Zhao Tianyu's face turned pale. He secretly sent a message to Zhao Chengzhi, telling him not to act rashly.
After listening to Li Changlong's story, the old man in the black robe smiled knowingly, and did not seem to blame Li Changlong for his rash behavior just now.
Instead, he bowed to the old man in the middle of them, who looked like an immortal, highly respected, and dressed in a gray Taoist robe, and smiled and said:
"Senior Zhao! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My grandson has found out the truth. It was just a fight between some backs that accidentally attacked our ship.
But what’s interesting is that the young Taoist friend in front of him is none other than Lu Chen, the city lord of Huaxia City.
He can be regarded as a leader among the younger generation in Beichenzhou.
I have also heard of his deeds. It is said that he not only eliminated the seven-colored poisonous fog that had permeated the Tianmen Region for many years, but also rebuilt the Tianmen Region with his own strength.
It is hard to say, in the future, when we rebuild the intercontinental teleportation array, there will be many places where we will need the help of this young friend.
So I ask you all to give me some face and not to argue with a junior."
"Brother Jiang, you are too polite! Why would we bother with a junior?"
As soon as the old man in the black robe finished speaking, he received support from another old man……………………
