"Lu... Lu Ren!"
Xu Tianji jolted at the sight of the figure before him.
Lu Ren, whom Gui Xinghai had knocked unconscious first, had actually saved him.
"Xu Tianji, step aside. I'll deal with him," Lu Ren said calmly.
"Can you?"
Xu Tianji could hardly believe it.
Like him, Lu Ren was only at One Tribulation Transcendence. No matter how gifted he was, he could not possibly fight Gui Xinghai, who had cultivated Two Hundred Calamity Power.
"If I can't, who just blocked that attack for you?"
As Lu Ren spoke, his gaze turned to Gui Xinghai.
"Lu Ren, you had this much strength all along? So you were pretending!"
Gui Xinghai was furious.
At last, he understood what Emperor Lord Guiyi had meant. Lu Ren was not as simple as he appeared.
"You Ghost Path Cultivators can pretend. Why can't I?" Lu Ren said with a smile.
"No matter how well you pretend, it won't change the fact that you're at One Tribulation Transcendence. Don't tell me you think you can defeat me?"
With a roar, Gui Xinghai unleashed his third-tier Transcendence Power and Two Hundred Calamity Power at once.
"Of course not!"
Lu Ren shook his head. The Chaos Calamity within him surged forth like floodwater bursting through a dam, its roiling force seeming capable of destroying everything.
"I'm here to kill you!"
Terrifying killing intent flashed in Lu Ren's eyes.
Feeling the power pouring from Lu Ren, Gui Xinghai stared in shock. "How can you possess such powerful Calamity Power?"
The force within Lu Ren's Chaos Calamity was horrifying—at least Five Hundred Calamity Power. How could a cultivator at One Tribulation Transcendence possess such strength?
And Lu Ren had only just reached One Tribulation Transcendence.
"I hope you can last half an incense stick!"
Lu Ren roared.
