"Third Uncle, this boy must have treasures left by Li Qingyao. Finish him off quickly!"
Seeing Lu Chen daring to make a move against the Supreme Elder excited Lu Changkong immensely.
You, Lu Chen, do not even have a Dantian, and you killed the man in black by catching him off guard with random shots.
And I myself was just taken by surprise when attacked, you think you could openly confront an elder at the Visceral Refinement Realm, isn’t that like holding up a lantern in the restroom?
"Does this old man need your pointers on how to act?"
In the face of Lu Chen’s spear, the elder didn’t even take it seriously, even finding the time to scold Lu Changkong.
With a light step of his right foot.
"Swoosh!"
The long sword was drawn straight from its sheath!
"No matter if you are from the Lu Family or not, attacking me is seeking your own death! However, considering your youthful ignorance, I will allow you three moves!"
The Supreme Elder held the sword in his hand, his Lu Family Sword Technique already refined to perfection, even capable of turning vital energy into Sword Qi to strike Lu Chen from a distance!
Of course, Lu Changkong knew this move as well, only he never had the opportunity to use it on Lu Chen!
Hearing this, Lu Chen sneered, "What arrogance! Isn’t it better for someone of your age to retire and take care of themselves in the back mountain?"
The Supreme Elder disregarded Lu Chen’s mockery, wanting to lecture him about the impatience and hot-bloodedness of the youth, only thinking of showing off their temporary courage.
But unexpectedly, before he could speak, Lu Chen’s spear tip turned mid-course and aimed directly for Lu Changkong!
Lu Changkong was not capable of seeing in the dark, to him Lu Chen was nothing more than a shadow. The Supreme Elder, full of pride, claimed he would allow Lu Chen three moves, preparing only to block and not to attack!
It was only when the cold gleam reflected in his eyes that Lu Changkong realized he was in grave danger!
"Third Uncle, save—"
Before the word for ’life’ was fully uttered, the spear tip had already pierced through his throat!
Lu Changkong stared in disbelief, his hands desperately clutching at his neck.
But Lu Chen didn’t give him a chance, pulling out the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and sweeping it horizontally with the force of a thousand jun, aiming straight for the Supreme Elder!
"Impudent brat, how dare you!"
The Supreme Elder hadn’t expected to be toyed with by Lu Chen!
He, a mighty warrior of the Visceral Refinement Realm who once made a name for himself in Yuzhou City.
The Lu Family’s rise among the second-tier families of Yuzhou City was also credited to him!
Yet, Lu Chen killed Lu Changkong right before his eyes!
"What would I dare not do?"
Lu Chen roared, "For the elder’s disrespect and violation of the ancestral teachings, what qualifications do you have to lecture me?"
"Blah blah blah!"
The Supreme Elder fumed with rage. As soon as Lu Chen killed Lu Changkong, he had already struck a sword pose, and using his Sword Technique, he met Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear!
"Clang!"
With a sharp ring, Lu Chen felt a jolt in his hands. As he expected, the Visceral Refinement Realm was nothing special!
After infusing his spear with twice the usual amount of Spiritual Power, not even the vital energy of the Visceral Refinement Realm could force him back!
Previously, he had just been caught off guard by the sudden attack which allowed the Supreme Elder to strike!
"Lu Family Sword Technique is no use against me!"
Lu Chen sneered, then said, "Now, you have another charge to answer to, breaking your own word!"
"Lu Chen, this is too much, the old man will not spare you today!"
The Supreme Elder was enraged. When was it Lu Chen’s place to accuse him?
"If I don’t speak, would you spare me?"
Lu Chen taunted, using his familiarity with the elder’s sword moves and their timing to ridicule in return, "You said you would allow me three moves, yet you attacked after just one! Not only do I accuse you of breaking your own word, but also of being a liar!"
Normally, Lu Chen would not waste words with others like this, but it was his first time fighting someone from the Visceral Refinement Realm, and an elder who had secluded himself for many years, at that.
Without full confidence in his victory, he could only try to disturb his opponent’s composure with words!
This would greatly increase his odds of winning!
Attacking Lu Changkong first also served this purpose!
Killing the person in charge of the Lu Family in the presence of a Visceral Refinement Realm practitioner would surely make him feel utterly disgraced!
"Lu Chen, enough with the nonsense, leave Li Qingyao’s treasure to me, and I will spare your life!"
The Supreme Elder struck with his sword, and had Lu Chen not had the help of the beads in his eyes to just barely dodge, he might have been gravely wounded.
He also took the opportunity to speak.
Lu Chen’s Spear Technique, one move following another, was exceedingly intricate.
The Supreme Elder had never encountered such a tough opponent, yet he could distinctly feel that the other was only at the Bone Refinement Realm.
"Very well," said Lu Chen with an unruffled smile, stepping forward, "My treasure lies within my eyes! Come dig it out if you will!"
Hearing this, the Supreme Elder paused for a moment, his gaze instinctively turning towards Lu Chen’s eyes.
Not that it mattered much, but on closer inspection, he felt an inexplicable chill!
Lu Chen’s left eye showed no white at all, which was unnoticeable at first.
But with the Supreme Elder focusing intently, he saw something strangely unsettling, causing him to freeze on the spot!
"That’s exactly what I wanted!"
Lu Chen stepped forward boldly, taking advantage of the situation to thrust with his spear!
"Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!"
The Supreme Elder, awakened by the sudden sound of a dragon’s roar appearing out of nowhere, saw that it was the Heavenly Inquiry Spear coming at him. In the blink of an eye, he thought he saw a dragon baring its fangs and claws, charging towards him!
It was only when his vision darkened did he come to realize the truth!
He died by Lu Chen’s hands!
