Chapter 2376 - 2377: Escaped

Chapter 2376: Chapter 2377: Escaped

This was not the strongest attack they’ve ever encountered, but it was the most peculiar.

Under this unusual assault, it made them take notice.

Even the elders of the Green Ripple Sect felt this way, not to mention Lu Kang, who was being targeted by the energy.

He felt as if thorns were on his back, with an overwhelming sense of discomfort.

Lu Kang turned his head, only to see the longsword, several feet long, rising in the air.

The giant figure that was once there had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the longsword, which in the pitch-black night, looked even more intimidating.

Lin Chen clicked his tongue a few times, finding it hard to believe that this strange creation before him was his doing. Seeing it now, he couldn’t help but express his astonishment.

At the same time, he was thankful that the attack wasn’t directed at him; otherwise, he truly wouldn’t know how to handle it.

As he thought of this, the sharp longsword moved, piercing the void with its extreme sharpness. It seemed to ignore the Green Ripple Sect elders, hurtling towards the distance.

The direction it headed was precisely where Lu Kang was.

Lu Kang was startled in his heart and cursed under his breath. He then reached out to grab Tao Yuyu beside him.

However, after the last incident, it seemed Tao Yuyu had been on guard against Lu Kang. When Lu Kang tried to grasp him, Tao Yuyu drifted to the side, leaving Lu Kang clutching empty air.

Lu Kang was somewhat surprised, glancing sideways to see the half-smiling, half-mocking expression on Tao Yuyu’s face, which seemed both like ridicule and jest.

Since the attack was not meant for Tao Yuyu, he was somewhat at ease.

"Good luck."

After Tao Yuyu said this, he drifted away into the distance.

His speed was inherently very fast. Just as Lu Kang had said, all of Tao Yuyu’s skills lay in his feet. He seemed like a sprite in the dark night, leaving no trace as he moved forward.

This scene made Lu Kang grit his teeth. He hadn’t expected Tao Yuyu to be so wary. He had intended to use Tao Yuyu as a shield against the extremely sharp longsword, but now had lost such an opportunity.

He wished to move, but the longsword was shadowing him closely, following him with the energy, making it difficult for Lu Kang to take any action.

Seeing the longsword closing in on him, Lu Kang’s heart sank.

With slightly flickering eyes, he took a deep breath and felt a peculiar force surging within his consciousness.

That was Lu Kang’s inherent soul power, springing forth rapidly from his body. After a momentary exhaustion, the power emanating from Lu Kang became even stronger.

"I will avenge this!"

Lu Kang said hoarsely. The gathering of such power depleted not just his life’s force, but also his original cultivation. To restore himself after exhausting his inherent power would take a considerable time.

With clenched teeth, a light shield formed in front of Lu Kang, like a wall of shields, bracing in front of him.

At this moment, the longsword struck.

With a thunderous crash, the longsword failed to swallow the power that Lu Kang had raised. Instead, a thunderous sound erupted.

The sound was incredibly deafening. Even Lin Chen, from afar, had to cover his ears, fearing the sound would numb his eardrums.

Imagining Lu Kang at the center of the battlefield...

Blood dripped from Lu Kang’s ears, overwhelmed by the escalating momentum.

But Lu Kang had no time to worry about this. He pressed his feet firmly on the ground, rising on his toes as if to resist the longsword fiercely.

His slightly hunched body revealed his weariness and pallor.

Partly due to the attack before him and partly due to the sheer fierceness of the attack.

His inherent energy surged into his body from the longsword’s impact, continuously gathering in Lu Kang’s palms, reinforcing the shield wall.

Soon, the fierce attack forced Lu Kang to retreat repeatedly.

Blood spewed from his throat as his figure retreated further, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

This sight shocked everyone present, leading them to look at Lin Chen complexly. They’d witnessed from the start that it was Lin Chen who created this attack, whose power was indeed eye-catching.

"What kind of monster is this kid?"

Zheng He’s eyes flickered at Lin Chen. He seemed to contain significant secrets, though he appeared plain, shrouded in a thin mist that made it difficult to discern Lin Chen’s true nature.

This bewildered them further, eager to uncover the truth. But Lin Chen himself was unsure of the mysteries within him, so how could he divulge them to others?

"I will be back!"

In the midst of their shock, a few breaths passed, and in the distance, Lu Kang’s roar echoed once more.

The booming sound carried immense anger, resonating through a cloud of dust.

"What a scare."

Lin Chen picked his ear. His mind quivered slightly from the sudden outburst, not out of fear, but merely startled without any warning.

This cry was also heard by the elders. They looked up towards where Lu Kang had been, where a grand chasm now lay, formed by Lu Kang’s dragging escape.

It stretched dozens of feet, a distance immeasurable by the eye. Trees originally growing there collapsed in its wake.

This strike held such incredible power.

They drew a sharp breath and, after a moment of shock, raced towards the front, intending to pursue the shouting Lu Kang.

"No need to chase; he’s gone far already."

At that moment, Liu Qinghan spoke calmly, descending from the air and standing beside Lin Chen. After a brief glance at Lin Chen, he returned to normal.

After Liu Qinghan spoke, those who were about to chase sighed and returned with regret.
