Blood Shadow Sword Technique Displays Its Might!

Chapter 28: Blood Shadow Sword Technique Displays Its Might!

ROAR!

The black carriage, which had been charging forward, screeched to a halt.

The coachman driving the carriage looked terrified, gripping the reins tightly, swallowing hard with disbelief as he stared ahead.

Too fast!

It was simply too fast!

He had never expected that there was such a brilliant, such dazzling sword technique in this world!

Over a dozen experts were killed in the blink of an eye!

Who was this person?

Did they come specifically to intercept the County Magistrate?

CRACKLE! Lightning flashed across the heavens and earth, illuminating all directions.

The rain intensified, becoming even more unrestrained.

Sheets of downpour hammered onto the roof of the black carriage, streaming down the curtains with a WHOOSH.

Inside the carriage, it was eerily silent.

There wasn't a single sound.

It was as if no one was inside anymore.

But Lu Chen could clearly sense two powerful auras erupting from within, like volcanoes brewing, emanating potent energy fluctuations.

The energy fluctuations even seemed to lock onto his body, as if ready to tear open the carriage and charge at him at any moment.

His brow twitched, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Two people!

There were two people inside this carriage! Not just the County Magistrate Lin Mingyuan!

There was someone else present!

"Good, good, good! I truly never expected someone would dare to intercept me!"

A furious voice suddenly boomed from inside the carriage, chillingly stating, "Boy, who are you? Do you not fear your entire clan being exterminated for daring to lay a hand on an imperial official?"

"Exterminate my clan?"

Lu Chen replied, "No need. My entire family is already dead. It's just me. Lin Mingyuan, weren't you going to the city to avenge your son? You can do it now. I killed your son, come out!"

CLANG!

As soon as he finished speaking, the long saber at his waist was drawn again, slicing through the air at an incredibly terrifying speed.

The rainwater in the world rippled. CRACK!

The entire carriage was instantly split in two.

SWISH SWISH!

Two figures shot out from the exploding carriage, landing on the muddy road to the side.

The original coachman rolled to the side, landing in another direction.

"This has nothing to do with me, I'm innocent..."

He looked terrified and turned to flee into the distance.

But just as he was about to escape, a figure flashed past like lightning. A finger extended and struck him directly on the chest.

PUFF!

The coachman spat out blood, his vision went black, despair filled his eyes, and his body went limp, dying a tragic death.

"Those who desert in battle shall be killed without mercy!" the figure stated indifferently, slowly retracting their finger.

Only then did Lu Chen finally see the person's face.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, his aura chilling, completely shrouded in a black cloak. His strength was even greater than Lin Mingyuan's, at least at the Fifth Rank realm!

"As expected, two people, and a Fifth Rank expert..."

Lu Chen's expression grew serious.

But he still showed no fear.

With his three innate talents and the boost from the Blood Fiend Technique, even against a Fifth Rank, he might still be able to fight!

"Boy, you're that Lu Chen!"

Lin Mingyuan stared at Lu Chen, a mixture of shock and rage, almost laughing in anger.

How audacious!

How arrogant!

He killed his son, caused chaos in his Panshi City, and now he dares to intercept him!

What kind of thing is there in this world?

"I want your life!"

Lin Mingyuan shouted sternly, and with a whoosh, he swiftly darted out, heading straight for Lu Chen. He roared, "Protector Li, help me capture this person!"

He didn't dare to be careless at all, because the sword technique Lu Chen had just displayed was too sharp, too fast.

This sword technique possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster!

It was definitely a manifestation of having reached perfection in a martial art.

Although he didn't show it on his face, his mind was already on high alert.

Clang!

A treasured saber at Lin Mingyuan's waist was unsheathed in an instant. This saber was exceptionally heavy, weighing at least dozens of pounds. His footwork was like thunder, and combined with the sword technique, it seemed as if a heavy black shadow in the world was slashing rapidly towards Lu Chen.

The three major talents within Lu Chen's body were activated almost instantly.

Convince with Virtue, Bronze Skin Iron Bones, and the Thunder Elemental King.

It was as if boundless power surged within his entire body. Powerful Internal Energy, laced with dazzling electric currents, gripped his long saber and swept out in an extremely rapid arc in an instant.

Clang!

The two collided fiercely, sending countless sparks flying.

Powerful surges of energy swept out from between them in all directions.

Lu Chen's strength was heavy and vast, like a terrifying meteor. More importantly, the electric currents contained within it unexpectedly surged into Lin Mingyuan's body.

Crack!

Puff!

Lin Mingyuan revealed a hint of horror and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt a powerful electric current surge into his body, almost instantly injuring his meridians and leaving his body numb.

His entire body felt as if it had been hit by a wild beast, losing control and rapidly retreating backward. With a series of thuds, he retreated more than ten meters, causing the rainwater behind him to splash violently.

He almost couldn't hold onto the long saber in his hand.

"Your Internal Energy..."

Lin Mingyuan's expression was one of utter shock.

Just as Lu Chen was preparing to pursue, he suddenly sensed danger from behind. Another figure in a black robe appeared behind Lu Chen like a phantom.

A palm, like a sinister ghost claw, carrying a powerful and terrifying aura, lunged towards the back of Lu Chen's neck.

The speed at which this black-robed figure attacked and the timing of its strike were truly inconceivable!

Furthermore, his cultivation was exceptionally profound. His movements were accompanied by a powerful mental pressure.

It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down, irresistible.

"You're seeking death!"

Lu Chen had been guarding against him. The moment the black-robed figure appeared, his other hand had already grasped the soft sword at his waist. With a swish, blood light flashed, creating illusions.

It was as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared, the smell of blood pungent, and afterimages blurry!

The sword tip, like a venomous snake, shot out rapidly with countless afterimages behind him.

Protector Li, who was attacking, his pupils contracted. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"Blood Shadow Sword Technique!"

How is this possible?

Why would this person know their Blood Sacrifice Cult's Blood Shadow Sword Technique?

Could this person be one of their Blood Sacrifice Cult members?

Moreover, this Blood Shadow Sword Technique, with its countless afterimages, blurring the real and the fake, creating illusions, had clearly reached the realm of perfection.

A perfect Blood Shadow Sword? Is this person the Cult Master's disciple?

Protector Li's heart trembled violently, and he almost instantly lost his guard.

One had to know that the members of their Blood Sacrifice Cult, who were constantly surrounded by blood, had unstable mental states and were extremely susceptible to external stimuli. This Blood Shadow Sword Technique could also induce hallucinations.

Thus, under the combined stimuli, Protector Li actually fell into a hallucination.

Puff puff puff puff!

In an instant, the sword technique flashed repeatedly.

A stinging pain was felt.

Protector Li let out a miserable groan and finally broke free from the hallucination, revealing panic. He quickly retreated, and more than ten bloody holes appeared on his chest, looking almost like a beehive.

"Stop, let's talk..."

Puchi! His words finally came to an abrupt end.

The dignified Fifth Rank grandmaster was actually pierced through his internal organs by Lu Chen's sword technique without even launching a single move. His eyes were vacant, blood flowed from his mouth, and his body swayed.

"You... are you really not..."
