Three disciples of the Five Element Sect, all of whom were Qi Masters, spent a great deal of effort to eliminate just one Undead Soldier, highlighting how difficult these soldiers were to deal with!
Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan joined the battlefield, their Black Greatswords serving as the most obvious sign of friendly forces. Others likely regarded them as allies coming to provide support and did not pay them much attention.
"Brothers, let me give it a try."
Lu Chen swung his Black Greatsword, slicing through the air with a whistling sound as he aimed at a White Corpse Soldier.
"Junior Brother, do not be careless; Undead Soldiers are formidable. Be cautious," one of the Five Element Sect disciples hurriedly reminded Lu Chen. If it were someone from the Star Gate or the court, he would have let it go; if they wanted to show off, they could go ahead and meet their end without anyone caring.
However, since Lu Chen wielded a Black Greatsword, it indicated that he was not only part of the Alliance Army but also a fellow disciple of the Five Element Sect, so concern was warranted.
"I understand, Brother," Lu Chen replied and continued to charge forward until he stood before the Undead Soldier, raising his Black Greatsword to strike down.
With a clang, it sounded as if he had struck stone. The Undead Soldier merely trembled slightly and showed no reaction at all; this strike was practically harmless to it. Lu Chen realized why Undead Soldiers were so difficult to handle.
Not only did the Undead Soldier suffer no damage, but it also reached out with its pale hand to grasp Lu Chen's sword.
Lu Chen quickly shook his sword and pulled it back while swinging it in another direction to slash again.
At this moment, he noticed that many of the Undead Soldiers' clothes had been slashed open, revealing their pale flesh with no trace of blood—an extremely bizarre sight that evoked a sense of horror.
Additionally, Lu Chen observed that the Undead Soldiers' eyes were entirely white with no visible pupils, resembling dead fish—very ugly indeed.
Lu Chen struck again with his sword, delivering a heavy blow to the Undead Soldier. The result was similar to before; it merely shook slightly and then continued its aggressive advance without any signs of being affected.
Suddenly, the Undead Soldier approached Lu Chen, making strange clucking sounds while extending its five claws with sharp nails, lunging at him fiercely.
Lu Chen jumped high into the air using Fairy Leap to evade and unleashed several stiff Sword Flowers with his Black Greatsword in retaliation.
Due to the weight and hardness of this greatsword, the Sword Flowers he created were not as graceful as those made with lighter swords; it could almost be used like a mace.
Lu Chen's sword trembled slightly, and he recalled the disciple of the Five Element Sect, Chen Yushan, whom he had encountered shortly after entering the Wind Blinder Archipelago. This person practiced the Tidal Sword Technique of the Five Element Sect and was exceptionally powerful.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen spun his Flesh and recalled Zhang Yushan's moves, secretly deducing a bit of its essence. He executed it, causing his sword to shake as he struck at the White Corpse Soldier in front of him.
The Tidal Sword Technique resembled the tidal waves of the ocean; each wave of sword energy surged higher than the last. It appeared gentle and weak, yet it contained immense power, transitioning from softness to hardness, executing rebounds with incredible subtlety—something that a mindless Undead Soldier could never hope to withstand.
As soon as Lu Chen unleashed it, he immediately gained the upper hand, preventing the Undead Soldier from approaching. Several attempts to pounce on him were rebuffed by the force of his sword.
Thus, the battle turned overwhelmingly in his favor. Lu Chen wielded his great sword, occasionally leaping high into the air to unleash wave after wave of sword energy, suppressing the Undead Soldier to the point where it could not retaliate, while he remained relaxed and at ease.
"Who is this junior? I've never seen him before," remarked a disciple of the Five Element Sect who had just retreated. He leaned his Black Greatsword against the ground and watched Lu Chen's swordplay with a hint of surprise.
"Who knows? His swordsmanship is remarkable; it seems to be the Tidal Sword Technique. He has actually countered that Undead Soldier!" responded another disciple nearby.
"When did such a master emerge among our generation of disciples? It's truly strange," another disciple sighed.
As Lu Chen battled the White Corpse Soldier, his Black Greatsword suddenly pressed against the Undead Soldier's chest. However, the Flesh of the Undead Soldier was incredibly hard; no matter how sharp the tip of the Black Greatsword was, it could not pierce through and could only hold it at bay.
The Undead Soldier let out a cackling sound, its long fingernails clawing desperately as if trying to tear Lu Chen apart.
With a loud bang, Lu Chen gripped his sword with one hand while using his other hand to form a palm blade. He struck forcefully at the end of the sword hilt. A muffled sound echoed as the Black Greatsword hissed loudly and sank deep into the chest of the White Corpse Soldier.
Lu Chen switched to holding the sword with both hands, twisting and pulling on the hilt. Suddenly, a series of explosive sounds erupted like popping beans; the White Corpse Soldier was sliced into several large pieces and scattered apart.
Lu Chen let out a long breath, his expression slightly serious. This was the first Undead Soldier he had dealt with alone, using about eighty percent of his strength.
The reason for such effort was twofold: one was to protect his fellow disciples, and another was that these Undead Soldiers—these dead beings—had emerged to harm living people. This was unacceptable and should be eradicated entirely. Although these Undead Soldiers might be related to the Sui Mo Su Family, Lu Chen did not care about that. He had only a slight acquaintance with Su Wutong; he did not know the Su Family well, nor did they know him. These Undead Soldiers certainly did not recognize him either, so he aimed to eliminate these enemies decisively.
"Junior has excellent skills; may I ask which lineage you belong to?" After Lu Chen single-handedly took down an Undead Soldier, a nearby disciple from the Five Element Sect immediately spoke up.
The Inner Sect Disciples of the Five Element Sect each have their own Cave. When they communicate, they usually share their Cave names along with their own names, which facilitates interaction and strengthens relationships among the disciples.
"Senior Brother, I am from Empty Mountain Cave, Lu Chen," Lu Chen said with a respectful bow, displaying no airs about him, neither arrogant nor impatient.
"Junior Brother, I am from Morning Sun Mountain Cave, Lu Renjia," said the disciple who introduced himself as Lu Renjia. He was quite young, in his twenties, with a white face and no beard, and spoke very politely.
"This is Junior Brother Jiang Youdang from Fenghui Mountain, and that one is Junior Brother Jiang Jie from Panlong Mountain," Lu Renjia introduced the other two disciples of the Five Element Sect to Lu Chen.
When they first joined the Five Element Sect, they were unfamiliar with one another and did not interact much. However, as time passed, it became natural for them to get to know each other better, ideally forming alliances.
Factional struggles are not exclusive to the court; even in seemingly peaceful places, factions exist among the people. Conflicts and rivalries are common and can manifest both openly and covertly.
Lu Chen observed that both Lu Renjia and Jiang Youdang appeared quite ordinary on the surface, showing no signs of ulterior motives. However, Jiang Jie felt different; he did not seem like an ordinary person. There was a certain charisma about him that suggested he might achieve great things—many could discern such potential just by looking at someone’s appearance.
Jiang Jie was precisely that kind of person; he would undoubtedly become someone of significance in the future.
Their attire was also distinct from the norm, indicating that they likely came from affluent families—either wealthy merchants or children of officials.
Lu Chen licked his lips; these individuals could indeed be worth befriending. If he could persuade them to invest in Chen Qilin's Mechanism Base, it would be even better.
Lu Chen was not obsessed with money nor was he a greedy person who valued profit over friendship; in fact, he despised such individuals and looked down on them. The reason he considered their financial backgrounds at this moment was due to the substantial funding required for Chen Qilin's Mechanism Base—it was not something that could be accomplished with just a small amount of money. This was a long-term plan that would benefit greatly from the involvement of wealthy patrons.
Lu Chen nodded in understanding with Lu Renjia and the others before calling over Princess Zhulan to introduce her to them.
Upon seeing Princess Zhulan, Lu Renjia and the others immediately blinked and displayed slight expressions of longing. It was no surprise they lost their composure; Princess Zhulan's beauty was truly ethereal—anyone who saw her would be captivated.
The royal bloodline of Yushan Kingdom typically features high noses and dark brown eyes with distinct characteristics. Moreover, living in snowy regions has given Yushan Kingdom women skin as white as snow.
"This must be your sister-in-law? A beauty paired with a hero is truly exceptional," Lu Renjia grinned widely, mistakenly assuming that Lu Chen and Princess Zhulan were in a romantic relationship while also flattering them with his words.
Princess Zhulan's expression turned slightly angry upon hearing this, and she was about to retort.
Lu Chen's eyebrows twitched like caterpillars as he stepped forward, raising his hand to stop Princess Zhulan, then said to Lu Renjia, "That's right, she and I are in a Daoist couple relationship. Brother Lu Renjia is truly overpraising us."
Lu Chen didn't mind this; if he could solidify his relationship with Princess Zhulan, it would prevent others from coveting her and causing jealousy.
Lu Renjia and the other three laughed heartily. After this exchange, they became somewhat familiar with each other.
However, the intense fighting nearby jolted them back to reality. This was not a place for jokes; there were also court officials and disciples from Star Gate engaged in life-and-death battles against Undead Soldiers.
Just moments ago, Lu Chen had dealt with one Undead Soldier, and then three disciples from the Five Element Sect had worked together to take down another, leaving a total of four remaining. At that moment, several disciples from Star Gate also managed to eliminate one.
Now, only three Undead Soldiers remained: two White Corpse Soldiers and one Black Corpse Soldier.
Lu Chen and the others attacked again and quickly dispatched the two white Undead Soldiers, leaving just the last black Undead Soldier.
After several rounds of fighting, Lu Chen discovered that the Five Element Sect's Tidal Sword Technique surprisingly had an effect against Undead Soldiers. The Undead Soldiers were fierce, domineering, and fearless, while the Tidal Sword Technique was soft and flowing like water. The latter could counter the former, overcoming hardness with softness; this was likely the reason for its effectiveness.
