At night.
Lu Chen returned to his mansion alone.
He dismissed all his servants, including Zhao Da Niu and Sun Monkey, saying only that he had a recurrence of internal injuries and needed to rest, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
The empty house fell into a dead silence.
Lu Chen was sitting in the study without lighting a lamp, letting the darkness swallow him up.
He seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but in fact his mind had already been raised to the extreme. When [Eye of Delusion Breaking] was turned on, every plant and tree within a hundred feet in radius, as well as the flow of wind, were clearly reflected in his mind.
He is waiting.
Wait for the venomous snake that is cornered to launch its final counterattack.
Zhang Tao was placed under house arrest by the Supervision Bureau, seemingly unable to fly, but Lu Chen learned from Zhou Tong's memory that Zhang Tao's private house had a secret tunnel that led directly to the outside of the city!
That was the last retreat he prepared for himself.
And now, this retreat may very well become the passage through which he comes to seek his life!
He will definitely come!
Because, Lu Chen is the only witness who can testify against him!
As long as Lu Chen dies without any evidence, he will be sure that with the help of Ghost Face Mask Organization, the golden cicada can escape from his shell!
Time passed slowly in deathly silence.
Haishi.
An imperceptible energy fluctuation came from the ground of the study.
Coming!
Lu Chen's mouth curved into a cruel arc.
An inconspicuous floor tile in the corner of the study room turned up silently, and a figure shrouded in black robes and wearing a ferocious Ghost Face Mask on his face quietly emerged like a ghost.
Without any hesitation, a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in his hand, shining with a faint blue light. His figure was like electricity, and it pierced the figure in the study room who "closed his eyes and meditated"!
This sword is fast and accurate!
The sword contains the majestic internal power of the Bone Forging state of perfection, as well as the poison that is enough to seal one's throat with blood!
He has absolute confidence. With this sword, Lu Chen will definitely die!
However, just before the tip of his sword was about to touch Lu Chen's throat.
That figure turned into a ball of bubbles with a "bang" and disappeared without a trace!
Afterimage?!
Zhang Tao's pupils suddenly shrank!
A fatal sense of crisis crazily struck from behind!
Without even thinking about it, he turned around and struck out with a sword!
But what greeted him was not a weapon, but a fist wrapped in Mystic Black Protective Qi as thick as a mountain!
"Bang!"
The sound was as muffled as beating leather. Zhang Tao felt a majestic force coming in. His whole left arm instantly felt sore and numb, and he "kicked" three steps back uncontrollably. Each step left clear cracks on the blue brick floor.
And Lu Chen's figure seemed to condense out of the shadows at this moment, standing firmly behind his original position, with Mystic Black Protective Qi flowing around him, like a tortoise shell, as stable as a mountain.
"What a weird Movement Method! What a strong Protective Qi!" Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with solemnity, Lu Chen's strength far exceeded his expectations!
"You are definitely not an ordinary Bone Forging!"
"A dying person, why bother asking." Lu Chen's voice was calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, but those eyes shining brightly in the darkness made Zhang Tao feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Junior is arrogant!"
Zhang Tao! He didn't even hesitate at all. The powerful inner power of the Bone Forging realm was unreservedly injected into the dagger in his hand that shone with blue death light. The tip of the sword cut through the darkness and pierced Lu Chen's throat!
This sword is the condensation of his lifelong cultivation. It is fast, accurate, and ruthless. It is also quenched with enough poison to make even the Meridian Opening realm strong men frown!
Just when the tip of the sword was about to touch the skin, Lu Chen moved!
He seemed to have already merged with the darkness. His body fell backwards in an incredible arc. At the same time, his feet kicked hard on the ground, and the seat carrying him slid back rapidly with a harsh friction sound!
"Tsk--!"
The sharp Sword Qi almost brushed against the tip of his nose, cutting off a few floating hairs. The cold touch made his skin tighten instantly.
"The reaction is not slow!" Zhang Tao missed the blow, his eyes became more ferocious, his wrist flicked strangely, the dagger swung its tail like a poisonous snake, turned into a thorn, and the blue arc light slashed across Lu Chen's neck, "Let's see how long you can hide!"
Lu Chen slapped the ground with both palms, and used the force to fly half-rotate into the air. Gang Qi's dark black arms instantly covered him, crossing them in front of him to block.
"Dang--!"
The dagger slashed hard on Mystic Black Protective Qi, and a harsh sound of gold and iron erupted!
A huge force surged down his arms, and Lu Chen groaned, feeling that the dull pain that was already there in his heart suddenly intensified, and Qi and Blood was churning.
He used this force to float backwards, his steps a little sloppy when he landed, and his face looked even paler in the moonlight.
"Hahaha! Sure enough! You are injured!" Zhang Tao keenly captured Lu Chen's stagnation and facial expression changes at that moment, laughed wildly, and was determined in his heart, "You dare to imitate others and set up traps at the end of the war? You really don't know how to live or die!"
He was unyielding, and his figure swept forward like a strong wind. The dagger in his hand turned into blue light spots all over the sky, like a gust of wind and rain, covering all the vital parts of Lu Chen's body.
The sword wind roared, and the sweet and fishy poisonous gas it brought up continued to corrode and wear away Mystic Black Protective Qi, making a subtle sound of "chichi".
Lu Chen's face was as heavy as water, [Eye of Delusion Breaking] was operating to the extreme, capturing every trace of the trace in the airtight sword net.
He no longer forced it, and used Movement Method to the limit, moving around in the limited space of the study.
His figure sometimes flies like catkins, soft and weak.
Sometimes it is like Ghostly Shadow shuttling back and forth, elusive.
The blue sword light seemed to be about to tear him apart, but it always missed him narrowly, leaving only a cold afterimage in the air.
"Hide! Keep hiding! Trash!" Zhang Tao couldn't attack for a long time. He became increasingly anxious and his words became more vicious. "Your turtle shell Cultivation Method is quite hard, but how long can you hold on? When your internal strength is exhausted and Gang Qi is shattered, I'll see how you die!"
Before he finished speaking, his sword posture suddenly changed again, the internal energy in his body surged like boiling water, and the dagger trembled, making a tooth-aching buzzing sound!
The blue light on the sword suddenly shrank, condensed at the tip of the sword, and turned into an extremely condensed blood color with a rich bloody aura Sword Qi!
"Blood Shadow Heart-Devouring Sword!"
Phew--!
The blood-colored Sword Qi detached itself from the tip of the sword, as if it had life. It let out a sharp scream, and actually drew a strange arc in the air, bypassing Lu Chen's blocking arms Gang Qi, and shot straight towards his heart and vitals!
This is one of Zhang Tao's ultimate killer moves. It contains the blood-evil energy he accumulated from practicing evil arts. It is extremely vicious!
There is no way to avoid it!
Lu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, [Eye of Delusion Breaking]'s light surged, and he instantly calculated the trajectory and power of this Sword Qi.
At the critical moment, he inhaled sharply, and his chest collapsed by three points visibly to the naked eye. The Mystic Black Protective Qi circulating around his body seemed to be summoned, and crazily gathered and compressed toward his heart!
"Pfft--!"
Like a heavy hammer hitting thick, soaked leather, a dull and heart-stopping sound exploded in the study!
The bloody Sword Qi slammed into the Mystic Black Protective Qi that was condensed to the extreme in the heart of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's body was shaken violently, as if struck by lightning, and he stumbled backwards uncontrollably, leaving deep footprints on the blue brick floor with every step he took.
His throat felt sweet, and a surge of blood could no longer be suppressed. It overflowed from the corner of his mouth and dyed his pale lower jaw red.
The Gang Qi in his heart fluctuated violently, and the light dimmed obviously. The dull pain in his heart swept through his whole body like a volcanic eruption, making his eyes black.
"Hmph! Let me see how many more hits you can take!"
