"It’s time!"
Lu Chen licked his lips and instantly entered Spirit-Body Unity, summoning a steel needle as thin as a hair from Junling. This steel needle was the Xuan Yin Flying Sword that he had not used for a long time.
The Xuan Yin Flying Sword was incredibly light, even lighter than a hair, and invisible to the naked eye. The movements it made were beyond the perception of ordinary people.
Lu Chen prepared to take a risk, merging his true self into the steel needle, then drifting with the wind, slowly moving towards the Bone-less Sorcerer.
Just as the Bone-less Sorcerer was controlling the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron to capture the Treasure Guardian Beast inside, Lu Chen suddenly let out a roar like thunder, his true self appearing behind the Bone-less Sorcerer. At the same time, he switched between spirit and flesh, unleashing the Five Element Divine Fist. Sixty-four Fist Shadows formed a net that descended from above, enveloping the Bone-less Sorcerer.
Indeed, sixty-four Fist Shadows, sixty-four auxiliary fists; Lu Chen's mastery of Fist Shadow had unknowingly reached this level.
Each of Lu Chen's punches had about five thousand pounds of force, and with sixty-four auxiliary fists combined, it amounted to over three hundred thousand pounds of pure power—enough to smash the large bell atop the Five Element Sect's Celestial Palace of the Sect Leader with a single punch.
The Bone-less Sorcerer gasped in shock, his eyes widening. He had been reveling in the joy of subduing the Treasure Guardian Beast when unexpectedly someone launched a surprise attack from behind with overwhelming Qigong Martial Arts for a fatal strike.
In an instant, under the terrified gaze of the Bone-less Sorcerer, sixty-four Fist Shadows closed in like two door panels, trapping him tightly.
The ferocity and violent energy contained within Lu Chen's iron fists suppressed him while simultaneously burning him.
Ah ah ah ah!
The Bone-less Sorcerer screamed in agony. At that moment, he was being suppressed by the blood fire that was most effective against Yin Spirits and could not move.
"Lu Chen, you bastard! You dare to ambush me? You shameless thing! I will take your life!" The Bone-less Sorcerer shouted angrily while trapped between two door panels.
Lu Chen's Flesh still hovered in mid-air, barely supported by the cushioning force. Lu Chen laughed heartily and said, "Bone-less Sorcerer, you are the shameless one here, old bastard. Have you forgotten how you plotted against me and White-Browed Ancestor? My ambush on you is just learning your despicable tactics. You are truly shameless."
Lu Chen first infused his true self into the Xuan Yin Flying Sword, looking for an opportunity to approach the Bone-less Sorcerer, and then launched a deadly strike.
This approach seemed somewhat roundabout, but it was actually a forced move. The Qi Master counters the Yin Spirit, which is indisputable. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that the Qi Master finds it hard to get close to the Yin Spirit.
Additionally, battles between Yin Spirits often result in massive consumption with little effect, making a decisive strike from the Qi Master much more practical.
The Bone-less Sorcerer initially intended to provoke Lu Chen with words, hoping that he could find a flaw and immediately break through the barrier created by the Fist Shadow to launch a counterattack.
The Treasure Guardian Beast had already been suppressed within the Nine Five Cauldron. If Lu Chen dared to confront him head-on, there would be no chance of survival.
However, the Bone-less Sorcerer underestimated Lu Chen's mental strength. His Dao Heart was so solid that he was not afraid of insults or verbal attacks; his capacity for endurance was almost monstrous.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been furious upon hearing such words, forgetting their own name in anger.
Lu Chen, upon hearing the insults, not only remained calm but retaliated with even more vulgar language, striking at the Sorcerer's pride. Moreover, every word Lu Chen spoke was reasonable and not fabricated.
After all, it was the Bone-less Sorcerer who first devised schemes against Lu Chen and the White-Browed Ancestor. Now that Lu Chen had counterattacked him once, it could be considered tit for tat.
The Bone-less Sorcerer and Yin Spirit were greatly shaken and unleashed a surge of Yin Yuan Power, causing the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron to fly up and smash toward Lu Chen.
Before Lu Chen could react, he was unexpectedly struck by it; his Flesh fell to the ground, landing in the mud and creating a large pit.
With Lu Chen's source power losing support, the Bone-less Sorcerer quickly broke free from between the barriers. Without caring for anything else, the Yin Spirit fled rapidly into the distance.
Lu Chen had previously used his iron fist intent and blood fire to scorch him, significantly damaging his vitality. If it weren't for the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron protecting him, it would have only been a matter of time before he was burned to death.
Moreover, as Lu Chen used Flesh to execute the Five Element Divine Fist, Flesh could not fly, and the sixty-four Fist Shadows created could not hold out for long; they would eventually fall as well—this was a certainty.
Approaching with the Yin Spirit, Lu Chen launched a surprise attack using the powerful explosive force of Qigong, delivering a fatal blow. This was a risky move with low chances of success, yet Lu Chen managed to accomplish it.
Lu Chen's flesh was struck by the Nine Five Cauldron, causing him to fall directly to the ground and create a large pit in the sand.
He shook his head and climbed out of the pit, appearing completely unfazed. With a casual gesture, he unleashed dozens of Imperial Auras, retrieving the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron from nearby.
However, the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron seemed somewhat stubborn, as if it possessed a spirit of its own. It recognized Lu Chen as an enemy and began to resist vigorously.
But Lu Chen paid no mind to this; regardless of its status as a treasured artifact from a previous dynasty or its significance, he sent out his Imperial Aura, which immediately wrapped around it like a rope, pulling it back effortlessly.
At this moment, the Bone-less Sorcerer had retreated to a distance. He initially thought the Nine Five Cauldron would harm Lu Chen, but to his surprise, Lu Chen fell onto the beach and then sprang back up like nothing had happened.
This scene astonished the Devoid of Bones King, who exclaimed, "Divine Power Body? This bastard has become a Divine Body expert so quickly; it's hard to believe."
The Bone-less Sorcerer was taken aback but dared not be negligent. Earlier, he had been injured by Lu Chen's Divine Body power at close range. His Yin Spirit was extremely unstable and could dissipate; he needed to heal quickly.
The Bone-less Sorcerer flicked his black robe and felt as if he were on fire all over, experiencing intense pain. He hurriedly sat down to begin his healing process.
After a while, the Bone-less Sorcerer opened his eyes again, exhaling deeply. He had recovered about seventy percent of his strength and felt much better than before.
Looking into the distance, he saw Lu Chen holding the Nine Five Cauldron in his hands, desperately trying to manipulate it.
However, Lu Chen seemed to struggle with controlling the Nine Five Cauldron; it bounced and shook violently or spun around as if it were about to break free at any moment.
Inside the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron was a Treasure Guardian Beast imprisoned within. Both were invaluable and must not easily fall into anyone else's hands.
Especially the Nine Five Cauldron; the Bone-less Sorcerer had invested immense effort into refining it and activating the Imperial Gold Energy inside for his own control. Decades of hard work were all contained within.
There is also the Treasure Guardian Beast, which he is determined to obtain. In order to acquire the Treasure Guardian Beast, the Bone-less Sorcerer spent a considerable amount of time researching literature and records, and he learned about its weaknesses. Only after being fully prepared did he decide to take action today.
Now, all his ambitions in this life are within reach; how could he let go of something he has devoted his entire life to?
The Bone-less Sorcerer snorted coldly and said, "The Nine-Five Cauldron contains my essence blood and communicates with my Intentions. How could it possibly be easily subdued by you!"
With that, the Bone-less Sorcerer waved his hand and unleashed a wave of Yin Yuan Power. Instantly, the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron flew out of Lu Chen's hands and returned to him.
The Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron traced a huge arc in the air before flying back into his grasp. The Bone-less Sorcerer lifted the cauldron with one hand and laughed heartily.
"Lu, you little mongrel, even if I only have seventy percent of my strength left, you won't be able to gain even a fraction of an advantage from me," the Bone-less Sorcerer declared triumphantly, laughing maniacally.
He used remote control to retrieve his Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron. As long as the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron was in his hands, he no longer had to fear Lu Chen's close combat.
"Is that so? Bone-less Sorcerer, are you truly getting carried away? Do you think that just because you've used your blood essence to suppress me, I have no way to deal with you?" Lu Chen's voice boomed, echoing as if it were exploding in his ears.
The Bone-less Sorcerer's eyes widened in anger as he realized something was wrong. He prepared to throw the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron away, certain that Lu Chen had tampered with it.
Just as the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron slipped from his grasp, a cold light flashed before him, and a wave of Divine Weapon Aura rushed toward him. The only things capable of countering Yin Spirits were Qi Master's blood essence and Divine Weapon Aura.
Before the Bone-less Sorcerer could dodge, a brilliant light exploded before him.
Lu Chen's Yin Spirit burst forth from the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, raising a bronze-colored stream of light high above and striking down from above the Bone-less Sorcerer's head all the way to his feet.
Ahhhhh!
With the Bone-less Sorcerer's screams echoing through the air, his Yin Spirit was split in two.
Then, Lu Chen held the Iron Treasure Sword, manifesting his true form from the void in the sky.
Earlier, he had intentionally allowed the Bone-less Sorcerer to retrieve the Nine Five Cauldron because he had already separated his spirit from his body, with his Flesh standing dazedly in place, fiddling with the large cauldron.
His Yin Spirit, however, had already entered the Iron Treasure Sword and flew back to the Bone-less Sorcerer along with the Nine Five Cauldron. Just as the opponent was reveling in his success, it suddenly erupted, striking from head to toe.
The Iron Treasure Sword itself was a Divine Weapon, made from materials sourced from outside and forged using various special techniques by the Five Element Sect's Supreme Master Taihuang, granting it the bizarre power to slay Yin Spirits.
The Bone-less Sorcerer's Yin Spirit split in two, causing immense damage. The Bone-less Sorcerer would not know how much time and effort it would take to restore it.
Moreover, Lu Chen would not give him that opportunity!
Lu Chen swung his arms wildly, unleashing dozens of Imperial Auras. The sharp blade energy formed an impenetrable net that descended from thin air, cutting the Bone-less Sorcerer's Yin Spirit into countless fragments.
Lu Chen coldly smiled, licked his lips, took a deep breath, and then let out a loud roar.
Instantly, a powerful sound wave erupted, spreading out like waves of water, directly shattering all the fragments of the Bone-less Sorcerer's Yin Spirit into powder, turning to ash with no possibility of Corpse Transformation remaining.
