Chapter 2374 - 2375: Absorption

Chapter 2374: Chapter 2375: Absorption

This left Lu Kang extremely shocked; he had never seen such a method before.

"What’s going on with this kid?"

Lu Kang was filled with disbelief; although his internal energy had recovered significantly, after unleashing such a fierce attack, he was already greatly exhausted. In Lin Chen’s current attack, his strength was being absorbed, making it even more strenuous for Lu Kang.

The massive figure was like a bottomless pit, continuously devouring Lu Kang’s strength.

Soon enough, Lu Kang’s forehead was visibly covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

The power he was using came from the remnants of his previous true form. Now, under such absorption, his stamina was rapidly depleting.

Meanwhile, the giant shadow was becoming more solid, especially the longsword in its hand, almost transforming from illusion to reality. It emanated an intensely sharp aura.

Even Lu Kang couldn’t help but swallow, shocked to the core.

It wasn’t just Lu Kang; even Lin Chen felt the same way.

The Spiritual Energy within Lin Chen, formed by the convergence of the Black Evil Qi, was also strangely gathering towards that place.

The gigantic figure was not only devouring Lu Kang’s strength but also encroaching on Lin Chen’s Spiritual Energy, causing it to grow even stronger.

"Your hand..."

Zheng He, who was unaware behind Lin Chen, paused slightly while observing the battle and spoke up.

After being reminded, Lin Chen glanced at his arm. On the exposed skin, the black color had peeled away slightly, revealing his original complexion.

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, unsure of the cause, just as he did not know how the earlier Black Evil Qi emerged.

However, upon seeing the situation, he couldn’t help but feel delighted.

After all, if Lin Chen remained in such a dark state, he couldn’t bear it.

With that in mind, he no longer resisted but fully opened himself, allowing the giant figure to siphon strength from him. In this opened state, the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian surged violently, converging towards the front.

As the energy from his Dantian flowed out, Lin Chen’s skin also became slightly lighter.

This filled Lin Chen with immense confidence in himself. It seemed that once he expelled this energy from his body, returning to his original state was within reach.

Unlike Lin Chen, Lu Kang was now extremely frightened. His so-called "Great Heavenly Demon Palm" did not cause any substantial harm to the shadow; instead, it became its nourishment!

In his astonishment and anger, a wave of inexplicable fear arose from Lu Kang’s heart—an experience he never had, even when facing Liu Qinghan.

But now, confronted with Lin Chen’s attack, fear was the only emotion left in his heart.

He gulped dryly, eyeing the monstrous figure. Suddenly, he had the illusion that this attack was powerful enough to obliterate him!

At this moment, the thought of retreat arose in Lu Kang’s mind. As the longsword drew closer to him, he stepped back.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a thunderous shout erupted from the giant figure as Lu Kang retreated. Its voice was so overwhelming that even those far away could feel the decisive murderous intent from it!

The sword slashed down like an attack descending from the heavens, dimming the bright moonlight on the horizon!

Lu Kang was utterly shocked; this strike contained not only the power of an attack reaching the Spirit Embryo realm but also a bizarre force, leaving him with no will to resist.

After all, Lu Kang’s strength had not yet fully recovered. Even on his own, his power was lacking, and under such dangerous assault, other emotions were absent.

"Escape!"

This was the only thought in Lu Kang’s mind now.

However, although he reacted quickly, the sword swung by the figure was even quicker, tightly locking onto Lu Kang’s essence.

As the longsword swung down, it relentlessly followed Lu Kang, adjusting its direction constantly.

"Damn it!"

Lu Kang cursed angrily; he never imagined Lin Chen would be so difficult to deal with. Had he known, he wouldn’t have acted recklessly.

"Quick, help me!"

Lu Kang ran toward the crowd, heading for the area where several burly men were previously located.

There were over a dozen of them. Once Lu Kang’s true form improved, they no longer engaged with the others in battle but gathered, ready to retreat at any moment.

Now, hearing Lu Kang’s call, they exchanged glances; unwilling but having no choice but to step forward.

In the demonic sect, the hierarchy was quite strict. Failing to save Lu Kang now would mean disaster for them if he survived the attack.

Thinking about the various methods of the sect, these men couldn’t help feeling helpless.

They ran forward, forming a human shield with their robust bodies to cover Lu Kang.

Only then did Lu Kang’s emotions slightly stabilize. He panted heavily, looking quite disheveled.

Meanwhile, the enormous figure followed closely, armed with a longsword, which it swiftly swung down.

The figure seemed to possess its own consciousness, needing no direction or signal from Lin Chen as it sliced towards the center of the crowd.

Under the sharp Sword Intent, all beings seemed equal, with no exceptions. Even these originally Body Cultivation disciples of the demon sect, with their formidable physiques, faced the same situation. Under the Sword Intent’s shroud, their once-proud bodies had no distinction!

As the longsword swung down, one could see ghastly wounds quickly appearing on their bodies.

The most terrifying aspect was that their vitality was rapidly being devoured from those wounds, swiftly draining away!

In just a few breaths, those injured had their hair fall off and skin shrivel, becoming a dried corpse!

They knelt on the ground, weakly clutching at something, emitting waves of wretched cries.
