You Took Advantage of Me

Yun Niang's legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed onto Lu Chen.

"Let go of me!" Hearing Lu Chen's strange tone, Yun Niang nearly broke down.

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Chen's voice was low, his hot breath blowing against Yun Niang's ear and making her whole body tense.

"Speak... Ah!"

Lu Chen suddenly let out a miserable scream, clutching his crotch as he jumped up.

His eyes bulged, and even his throat went rigid.

"You bastard! I'll cripple you!"

Yun Niang swung her spear. Smack!

The spear smashed viciously into Lu Chen's back.

Although he hastily protected himself with Qi and Blood Protective Aura, he was still slammed hard onto the ground.

His entire face was pressed against the earth, his mouth filled with dirt.

"You damned..." Lu Chen hiccuped and fainted.

"I'll beat you to death!" Yun Niang pounced on him, straddled Lu Chen, raised her fists, and gave him a brutal pounding amid a clattering barrage.

When Zhou Yan woke and saw this, his eyes rolled back, and he "fainted" again.

If he did not faint, he would be afraid of getting beaten!

The night wind blew, carrying a trace of chill.

Lu Chen shuddered violently and slowly woke up. Turning his head, he burst out laughing.

Zhou Yan, sporting a huge lump on his head, was staring at him.

Zhou Yan bared his teeth. "Don't laugh at me. Look at the state you're in!"

Lu Chen froze. When he touched his face, he could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.

It hurt!

Like countless needles pricking him.

His face was covered in bumps.

"Y-you..."

The moment he opened his mouth, air leaked out. Lu Chen quickly shut it and reached up to touch it instinctively.

His lips had turned into sausages.

That hateful woman was truly ruthless.

"W-where is she?"

"She went to the mass graveyard!"

"She's gone mad!" Lu Chen rose to his feet and rushed out.

Only to cry out as he collided head-on with a shadow entering from outside.

The two fell to the ground at the same time.

Lu Chen gave a bitter laugh, twisted his body, and with a bang, his back crashed heavily against the ground. Yun Niang was on top of him.

He willingly served as a human cushion.

With a soft moan, her tender lips pressed against Lu Chen's.

Lu Chen's heart trembled. Soft and warm, with a fragrance that assailed his nostrils.

He instinctively stuck out his tongue and licked her.

Yun Niang's entire body shuddered, and she went limp at once.

A mist veiled her cool eyes.

"You took advantage of me!" Lu Chen said indignantly, holding back a laugh. "I'll hit you!"

Smack!

A slap landed on Yun Niang's shapely buttocks.

Her limp body suddenly stiffened.

Lu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air.

The sensation sent his soul straight to heaven.

"Y-you, you... I-I, I..."

Yun Niang felt as though every ounce of strength had been drained from her.

This was a maiden bowing to Heaven and Earth—her very first time.

She only knew how to scream, her hands flailing wildly, yet she did not even know to get off Lu Chen.

This was absolutely fatal. Lu Chen had already reacted.

Zhou Yan was dumbfounded as he watched the scene.

Seeing that Yun Niang was about to cry, Lu Chen hurriedly got up and asked with a grave expression:

"What did you go out for?"

Yun Niang panted heavily and stared at him without saying a word.

She was still dazed.

What had she gone out for? Naturally, to scout out the situation.

A moment later, the three of them set off, heading straight for the mass graveyard.

In the middle of the mass graveyard, a blood pool churned while three Blood Spirit Sect disciples tossed living human hearts into it.

A miniature Soul Devouring Banner floated in the pool.

Yun Niang sent a low voice transmission. "It needs to absorb nine hundred living souls before it can take form."

"Destroy it!" With a flick of Lu Chen's finger, the Myriad Manifestations Furnace suddenly appeared above the blood pool.

Boom!

Boundless clouds of dust erupted from the furnace's mouth.

They were all the accumulated refuse and residue from this period. In an instant, dust covered the blood pool.

"Who dares?!" The black-robed elder waved his banner and summoned a hundred skeletons, but with a single tremor of the furnace, they all vanished into dust and smoke.

Lu Chen swooped down. As his saber aura swept out, two disciples were severed at the waist.

Just as the black-robed elder was about to form a hand seal and flee, a golden array net suddenly rose from the ground.

Zhou Yan leaped out from behind a mound of graves, the array disk in his hand humming. "Heavenly Net Array—please enter the urn!"

It was precisely an array he had comprehended after Yun Niang completed the Heavenly Evolution Array Compendium for him.

The instant the furnace swept the Soul Devouring Banner inside, Lu Chen suddenly felt a chill down his back.

Before Yun Niang could cry out in alarm, he had already thrown the Soul Severing Saber behind him.

A poisoned crossbow bolt shot from the darkness was knocked aside, embedding itself in a tombstone and exploding into a poisonous mist several yards high.

"Watch out!" Yun Niang flung out a golden thread to wrap around Lu Chen's waist, but he used the force to pull her into his arms.

A cold glint shot between them and vanished.

The two rolled into the wild grass, and Lu Chen tugged lightly at Yun Niang's collar.

He nearly exposed the enticing scenery beneath.

"You..." Yun Niang was both ashamed and furious.

"The hidden weapon was coated in deadly poison!"

Lu Chen spread open his palm. Three jet-black steel nails were melting within it. "If it hadn't been wiped away, this slender jade neck and... would be festering by now."

Lu Chen pointed downward.

Lowering her head, Yun Niang saw that there were indeed traces of poisonous liquid on her collar. Blushing, she flung out three array flags.

Miserable screams came from afar as the ambushing crossbowmen were burned into charcoal by earthfire.

"Why haven't you let go yet?!" Seeing Lu Chen's hand still pressed against her chest, rubbing lower and lower, Yun Niang drove up her knee.

Lu Chen's scalp went numb, and he instantly retreated.

A cold wind swept past, and he felt a faint ache below.

One more hit, and he really might be crippled.

After leaving the mass graveyard, the three found a place deep within an ancient forest nearby.

The night was as black as ink, and the bonfire crackled.

Lu Chen caressed the Soul Severing Saber, its blade reflecting the cold gleam in his eyes.

Yun Niang sat across from him with her knees hugged to her chest, a light veil covering her face. Only when her gaze occasionally swept over Lu Chen did it tremble faintly.

Zhou Yan fiddled with several array flags, muttering, "Could the Luo family still be holding back some big move these past few days?"

Before his words had faded, a gust of sinister wind suddenly rose in the forest.

Lu Chen abruptly looked up. He smelled blood.

"Something is approaching." With a flick of Yun Niang's hand, array flags silently sank into the soil.

The shadows of distant trees swayed. A dark figure staggered toward them—it was a Luo family guard drenched in blood.

The man fell beside the fire, his throat making rasping sounds as he exhausted his final thread of strength to roar:

"...Blood Spirit Sect... encirclement..."

Before his raised hand could fall, saber light flashed. His hand flew from his body and was swept directly into the furnace.

Boundless poison gas exploded within it and was refined away.

"A trap!" Lu Chen cut down the guard with one stroke, then sprang to his feet. The Soul Severing Saber swept through the air, its saber aura cleaving into the depths of the forest like a crescent moon.

Boom!

Dozens of dark figures leaped down from the treetops. The three leaders' black robes snapped in the wind, their pressure as heavy as mountains—they were the Luo family's three great Foundation Establishment peak Attendants!

The old man in the center grinned savagely. "Little bastard, you reacted quickly. Unfortunately, you're still too late."

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators pressed forward in a triangular formation, while dozens more deathsworn formed an array behind them, sealing off every avenue of retreat.

Lu Chen sneered. Activating the Wind and Thunder Steps, he flashed through the air like lightning and instantly circled behind the cultivator on the left.

His saber aura surged as he chopped straight for the man's neck!

The cultivator reacted swiftly, throwing out a bronze shield with his backhand.

Boom!

The bronze shield shattered on impact.

"What?!" The cultivator staggered back in horror, but Lu Chen had already closed in, his left palm plunging straight into the man's chest.

Squelch! Blood sprayed as the cultivator's eyes widened and he collapsed. Before his corpse could hit the ground, it was swallowed by the furnace.

The other two flew into a rage. One swung his sword to summon thunder, while the other formed a hand seal and called forth nine fire pythons.

Instead of retreating, Lu Chen advanced. His Wind and Thunder Steps shifted through the air, his saber light weaving like a net as he forcibly slashed the fire pythons into sparks that filled the sky.

Thunder crashed down. Lu Chen endured it head-on with his protective aura, then drove a saber through his opponent's dantian with a backhand strike.

The final Foundation Establishment cultivator's eyes nearly split apart. He took out a blood-colored jade talisman and crushed it. "I invite the Patriarch to descend!"

The jade talisman exploded, and a phantom emerged from the void. It was astonishingly a sliver of the divine sense of Luo Tianxiong, the Luo family patriarch!

The phantom raised a hand and struck out with a palm. Golden Core pressure descended like the heavens collapsing.
