105. Concealing Strength
Lu Chen was, after all, a Dou Zun, and when he came to his senses, he realized that Xiao Xun'er's cultivation level should only be Dou Huang.
"You're just making things complicated!" Lu Chen said angrily.
The blue and white patterns lit up, and snowflakes fluttered and swirled down, each one crystal clear.
However, as soon as you get close, you can feel the cold killing intent within the snowflakes, which clearly means that these snowflakes are not as simple as they appear.
"Since you're courting death, don't blame me!" Lu Chen said coldly.
Snowflakes enveloped Xiao Xun'er, but she looked at Lu Chen with a calm expression, his beautiful face showing no sign of panic.
Xiao Xun'er clasped her hands together in a hand seal, and the golden flames on her body accurately burned every snowflake that tried to get close to her.
A golden phantom gradually took shape behind Xiao Xun'er. It was a man whose face was completely obscured, composed entirely of golden battle qi.
But the moment he appeared, he seemed to become the protagonist of this space—no! It should be said that everyone who saw this phantom felt that he should be the master of the entire world.
Faced with this phantom, Lu Chen found himself almost unable to control himself and wanted to prostrate himself on the ground, as if he felt that only in that way would he not be offending the golden phantom.
Lu Chen asked in astonishment, "What exactly is this thing?"
The mere appearance of the phantom had already attracted almost everyone's attention.
The phantom pointed lightly, its fingertip pointing directly at Lu Chen. The next moment, a point of light appeared from the phantom's fingertip.
The light shot straight at Lu Chen, who immediately stepped back the moment he saw it.
However, the light spots were like leeches, relentlessly pursuing Lu Chen no matter how he tried to escape. Seeing the light spots so close at hand, Lu Chen gritted his teeth, unleashing his Dou Zun-level Dou Qi to create maximum protection.
However, the moment the light touched the aura shield, the shield immediately cracked and then exploded.
It couldn't even stop it for a single breath, and entered Lu Chen's body uncontrollably before Lu Chen's horrified eyes.
The next moment, Lu Chen found himself unharmed, his body and soul were both fine, but his internal fighting spirit was draining away at an alarming rate, unstoppable, and his fighting spirit, which had reached the level of Dou Zun, vanished instantly.
Within ten breaths, Lu Chen's battle qi was completely depleted, leaving his body utterly dry. Lu Chen, who was walking in the void, even fell directly from mid-air, and someone from the Xuanwen Sect immediately rushed out to protect him.
"You should be glad he didn't let me kill you!" Xiao Xun'er's cold voice rang out.
Lu Chen felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at Xiao Xun'er, but the next moment his heart was filled with impulse.
"Kill her! Now!"
After the illusory finger struck, Xiao Xun'er's face turned pale, and her aura was not as strong as before. Everyone could see that she had paid a considerable price for the attack she had just received.
More than ten experts from the Xuanwen Sect nearby immediately surrounded them, but before they could make a move, they heard a dragon's roar.
"Let's see who dares to touch Xun'er!"
A petite figure, seemingly floating in mid-air, appeared before Xiao Xun'er. Her speed was astonishing, and even more terrifying was the terrifying power emanating from her small frame.
A Douhuang-level expert who takes a punch from her will immediately cough up blood and be forced to retreat, his life hanging in the balance.
Even a Dou Zong would be severely injured if she faced off; she was none other than Zi Yan, the former Inner Court's Brute Strength Queen.
After Zi Yan repelled the attackers, before they could even recover, a bone-chilling cold permeated the air around them. A gigantic black python tore apart those who pounced on it. Atop the python's head, a girl in green robes timely supported Xiao Xun'er, asking, "Sister Xun'er, are you alright?"
Xiao Xun'er shook her head. The attack she had just received had also taken a toll on her, but she had fulfilled Xiao Yan's request in the most perfect way.
In the short term, Lu Chen cannot have any impact on the battle situation, let alone affect Xiao Yan.
……
"Teacher, Xun'er, she..."
"Don't worry, the two little girls are fine. Just focus on them!"
Xiao Yan's original intention was just to have Xiao Xun'er keep Lu Chen occupied for a while, but this girl gave him a huge surprise, causing Lu Chen to lose his fighting ability.
Xiao Yan was also startled by Xiao Xun'er's move, but after he arranged for Qing Lin and Zi Yan to meet Xun'er in advance, Xun'er was only a little weak.
With Xiao Xun'er safe and Lu Chen dealt with, Xiao Yan can now focus on his own affairs.
With his strength already at the high-level Dou Zong realm, Xiao Yan continued to harvest the puppets. In just a short time, nearly fifty or sixty puppets had fallen to his hands.
His actions drew the attention of both sides. On one side, the Xuanwen Sect and Xiangxi Mountain had already begun sending powerful human warriors to intercept and kill Xiao Yan, while on the other side, the Tianshe Mansion was doing everything possible to ensure his safety. Yang Yue and Wan Baishan provided assistance to Xiao Yan once or twice during lulls in the fighting.
Xiao Yan takes down at least one puppet with each attack, making him practically the greatest weapon on the battlefield.
The Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame is clearly the most powerful weapon against puppets. Xiao Yan knew that he couldn't possibly defeat a true Dou Wang or Dou Huang so easily, but with the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, both Dou Wang and Dou Huang only needed one Eight Extremes Collapse before they would start burning.
However, the feedback power of the Fire Lotus Karmic Fire ensured that Xiao Yan's body experienced almost no deficiency of fighting spirit, and for the first time, Xiao Yan felt that fighting was so exhilarating.
Xiao Yan had a premonition that this battle would be extremely beneficial to him, provided that he could get out alive.
Watching Xiao Yan weave through the crowd, Lu Chen, who had just recovered some of his Dou Qi with the help of the pills, could hardly contain his impatience.
He shouted at Xiangxi Mountain and Echo Sect, who were somewhat slacking off, "Shi Ye, Xu Chengze, aren't you two idiots going to make a move?"
The reason why the Xuanwen Sect has been unable to win the battle for so long is that, in addition to the continuous support from the Tianshe Mansion, the two major forces, Xiangxi Mountain and Huiyin Sect, are clearly only going through the motions.
It should be noted that neither Xu Chengze nor Shi Ye participated in the battle; they were merely directing. Therefore, unlike the continuous deaths of powerful figures in the major forces of Tian She Fu, the reduction in manpower of Xiang Xi Shan and Hui Yin Zong was quite limited.
So even with the support of over a thousand puppets, they still couldn't take it down for a long time. But when Lu Chen shouted, the experts from Xiangxi Mountain and Echo Sect had no choice but to move.
Even though Shi Ye and Xu Chengze didn't look pleased, Lu Chen was, after all, Lu Huangtian's own son and a Dou Zun. They couldn't pretend they hadn't heard. With Lu Huangtian entangled with He Kui, Lu Chen was the one who could command the entire battle.
Shi Ye and Xu Chengze were both near-Dou Zun realm cultivators, and they immediately detected Xiao Yan's escape route. Although they were positioned in two different directions, they had already blocked Xiao Yan's escape path.
Lu Chen, his eyes turning cold, sneered, "Let's see how you plan to run now!"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Yan grinned: "Run?"
