Lu Chen had practiced the Moon King Sword Technique and understood its intricacies. Now that he was in an open space with absolute freedom to maneuver, he could easily evade the attack.
The Giant Throwing Stick sent out the Dual Blades without a specific target, merely slicing through the area where the target was located. If someone was caught off guard, they would inevitably be cut down.
With quick reflexes, Lu Chen jumped high into the air, executing the Fairy Leap to distance himself from the cutting range of the Moon King's Blade, causing the Giant Throwing Stick to return empty-handed.
There was another way to counter the Giant Throwing Stick. Lu Chen had once used this technique during his battle with Zhao Centipede's Yin Spirit. However, his strength had been insufficient, and the Moon King's Blade had been caught by Zhao Centipede, who even took the blade from him. It was Ye Nanzhai who later helped Lu Chen retrieve it.
But the girl in black before him was a true descendant of the Twin Blade Family. The blades she projected were not something anyone could catch barehanded; not every Qi Master could achieve such a feat.
The Divine Power Body was said to be impervious to blades and spears, but few would dare to test that theory.
The Giant Throwing Stick was truly formidable.
"Fairy Leap? How can you use Fairy Leap?"
The girl in black retracted her flying Moon King's Blade and stepped forward, astonished as she looked at Lu Chen. The Fairy Leap was a movement technique used in conjunction with the Moon King's Blade, known only to those from Giant Barbarian Island and the Yue Family; it was never passed on to outsiders.
Yet Lu Chen had just executed a movement that clearly belonged to the Moon King's Blade.
"I have your Dual Blades too!"
Lu Chen declared, then summoned two Moon King's Blades from his Jun Bell and skillfully twirled them in his hands, creating a disc-like effect that appeared as delicate as a cicada's wings—truly impressive.
"How is this possible?"
The girl in black immediately recognized the two blades in Lu Chen's hands; they were indeed the pair once used by Yue Shaojun. What surprised her even more was that Lu Chen's mastery of the Dual Blades could rival that of Yue Shaojun.
The girl in black instantly realized that it must have been Lu Chen who killed Yue Shaojun and left behind the Moon King's Blade. He even took away the swordsmanship manual from Yue Shaojun.
But how could Lu Chen possibly master the Dual Blades to such an extent in such a short time? It was simply unbelievable. She and Yue Shaojun had spent over a decade honing their skills to reach their current level.
"Die!"
Seeing the Dual Blades in Lu Chen's hands was like tearing open an old wound, filling her with rage. The fact that Lu Chen had killed Yue Shaojun was already undeniable, and now with these two blades, it was like adding fuel to the fire, pushing her anger to its peak, causing her delicate body to tremble.
With a swift motion of her arm, the girl in black launched a rapid attack. Her movements were as graceful as a dance, the Dual Blades slicing through the air in arcs, buzzing as they rushed toward Lu Chen.
Lu Chen also swung his arms, meeting her attack with his own Dual Blades. In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in combat.
The same blades, the same techniques, the same agility—everything was identical and perfectly matched. The only difference was that Lu Chen's technique was slightly more forceful, while the girl in black's style was more intricate and flamboyant.
The girl leaped gracefully into the air, spinning continuously as she wielded her Dual Blades like two spinning discs aimed at Lu Chen. He mirrored her moves, using his Dual Blades to create two countering discs.
The sound of clashing blades echoed as the four Moon King's Blades collided rapidly, sending countless sparks flying through the air at such speed that it was nearly impossible to see their arms move.
Lu Chen twisted his Dual Blades together; with a gentle push, they sliced fiercely through the air, creating a powerful gust that plowed into the ground, leaving deep furrows in the earth and scattering grass and debris everywhere.
The girl in black responded with a similar maneuver, her two Venomous Dragon Drills rotating in mid-air, one leading and one following, resembling two massive machines as they produced a thunderous roar.
Both felt immense pressure and could no longer advance. They quickly retreated half a step each, using their Dual Blades to jab, poke, slash, cut, and stab at each other but to no avail; neither could inflict any harm on the other.
After a moment of exchanging blows, the girl in black began to show signs of fatigue; her movements slowed down. She was astonished by Lu Chen's strength—after fighting for so long, he showed no signs of exhaustion and seemed to grow stronger with each exchange, as vigorous as a dragon and tiger combined, even more agile than a monkey.
Lu Chen's Qigong cultivation was higher than that of the girl in black. In terms of true skill, she was no match for Lu Chen, especially when it came to swordsmanship, which left Lu Chen feeling troubled.
Lu Chen activated the Essence Sphere within him, continuously replenishing his stamina, something the girl in black could not compare to. It wasn't long before she showed signs of exhaustion.
With a twist of his Dual Blades, Lu Chen revealed a wicked smile and continued to attack fiercely with his sword techniques.
This time, Lu Chen held nothing back; every strike was lethal and overwhelmingly powerful. Within a dozen blows, he drained the girl's stamina. When she let her guard down, Lu Chen unleashed a powerful surge of True Qi from his body, causing the girl in black to stagger backward.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Chen concentrated ninety-five percent of his strength and delivered a decisive slash that knocked the Dual Blades from the girl's hands.
With a sound like breaking air, the two Dual Blades fell from her grasp, slicing through the air before embedding themselves into the ground not far away.
Immediately, Lu Chen stepped onto Seven Stars and moved close to the ground, appearing strangely in front of the girl in black, placing the Dual Blades against her neck.
"Don't move, Sister Yue. If you dare to make another move, I guarantee you will lose your head instantly."
Lu Chen held the girl in black from behind, the sharp blade just a hair's breadth away from her fair neck; a slight advance would draw blood immediately.
The girl struggled twice but ultimately realized how powerless she was in Lu Chen's grip. There was no chance of escape, so she gave up and obediently stopped moving.
"Sister Yue, I have no intention of harming you. I am also very sorry about your brother's death," Lu Chen said slowly from behind her, inhaling her faint fragrance.
"Spare me your pretense of kindness. The enmity for killing my brother cannot be forgiven. If you want to kill me, just go ahead," the girl in black replied bitterly, showing no mercy towards Lu Chen.
At a critical moment, she unexpectedly displayed the demeanor of a fierce woman, unafraid that her life was in Lu Chen's hands.
Lu Chen smiled slightly. After a brief exchange of words, he had figured out the character of the girl in black; someone like her could never be subdued, she was of the same kind as him.
"Sister Yue, no matter how you view me, whether you think I am cruel or bloodthirsty, I am still myself. I will not kill you today, nor will I offer excessive explanations to justify myself. I simply do not wish to kill you, so you may leave!"
With that, Lu Chen relaxed his grip and gently pushed the girl in black.
The girl in black immediately sidestepped. She had intended to grab her Dual Blades, but after assessing the distance, she realized that if she went for her Dual Blades, with Lu Chen's earlier display of skill, he could kill her ten times over.
Defeat was defeat; even if she managed to grasp her Dual Blades, she still wouldn't be able to defeat Lu Chen. This made it all the more pointless, and deep down, the girl in black felt an added sense of humiliation.
Lu Chen's overwhelming strength and generous spirit made it clear that she was a complete failure from start to finish.
"Do you think this can diminish the fact that you killed my brother? This hatred will never dissipate; it will only continue forever."
The girl in black roared twice, her emotions running high, almost on the verge of tears.
Lu Chen gave a bitter smile and put away his Dual Blades. "Sister Yue, you are mistaken. I have never concealed the fact that I killed Yue Shaojun, nor have I ever thought about diminishing this hatred. In any case, I will not kill you today. What you choose to think is your business; I cannot control that. Sorry, but I must leave."
With that, Lu Chen prepared to depart; dawn was approaching and he intended to return to Five Element Sect first.
The girl in black snorted coldly and walked over to pick up her Dual Blades. "Stop pretending here; do you really think you can leave? Shark-Slaying Eight Guards!"
As soon as the words "Shark-Slaying Eight Guards" left her lips, several sounds of breaking air could be heard. Lu Chen's ears perked up as he distinctly sensed seven or eight Daoist figures jumping down from nearby trees, surrounding him in an instant.
"Goodness, there are a total of eight people, all wielding Dual Blades."
Lu Chen looked around and saw the eight Dual Blades users surrounding him. Is this what the black-clad girl referred to as the Shark-Slaying Eight Guards?
These eight individuals exuded a terrifying aura, their Qigong cultivation all at the Peak of Unity, just one step away from entering the Divine Power Body.
This meant that their Qigong cultivation was on par with Lu Chen's level, and they were all stronger than the black-clad girl.
They were all dressed in identical Sharkskin Armor, covering them from head to toe, with no skin visible except for their eyes.
Their vital areas were completely wrapped in solid armor, leaving only their palms, necks, wrists, ankles, and abdomen covered with black soft armor, allowing their flesh to move flexibly.
They stood motionless in place, arms crossed over their chests, with Dual Blades strapped to their backs, surrounding Lu Chen like grim reapers.
What a terrifying force this is!
It would not be impossible for them to infiltrate the Great Zhou Imperial Palace and assassinate the current emperor. Eight Peak of Unity Qi Masters, combined with the ferocious Moon King's Blade, could easily take down even experts of the Divine Power Body.
