Chapter 1220: One Sword Slashes the Heavenly Demon
When everyone was surprised by the appearance of Lu Chen outside the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty, an emperor suddenly muttered quietly: "Huh, don't you think this Lu Chen looks a lot like Chen Lu?"
Even though the voice of this emperor was low, it was still heard by Emperor Taikang. Emperor Taikang's gaze suddenly turned to Lu Chen, who hadn't fled and was still in place, and he found that Lu Chen's appearance indeed resembled that of the Lu Chen outside the Daxia Dynasty barrier.
It's just that due to the differences in realm, the aura and pressure they emitted were different, making their demeanors somewhat different.
The Lu Chen in the distance exuded a blood-red power of slaughter, making him appear like a war god, whereas "Chen Lu" looked more like a refined gentleman.
Although the divine souls of both appeared complete, they were too similar, and for someone like Chen Lu to be a Saint at such a young age was unprecedented in the universe.
Emperor Taikang frowned and directly asked, "Chen Lu, is there something you are hiding from your mentor?"
Lu Chen smiled faintly, and the next moment, his body disintegrated, turning into countless light dots and dissipating into the void.
Upon witnessing this scene, how could Emperor Taikang still not understand? This so-called Chen Lu was actually Lu Chen.
Reversing Chen Lu, isn't it just Lu Chen...
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen actually used a clone to follow them all the way.
After understanding Chen Lu's identity, everyone's gaze fell on Lu Chen standing outside the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty. They just wanted to see how Lu Chen, a Great Emperor of the Fifth Layer Realm, was going to defeat a Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon.
Facing the Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon, not only did Lu Chen not shrink back into the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty, but chose to come out; he must be confident in dealing with this Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon.
Lu Chen glanced at the Heavenly Demon transformed from Emperor Guangze not far away, and next, a silver-white longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The moment the longsword fell into Lu Chen's hand, its blade instantly turned blood-red, and it released a terrifying pressure.
This pressure made the emperors from the Qingyue Holy Land in the distance unable to stand straight, not even Emperor Taikang, a Great Emperor of the Ninth Layer Realm, could withstand it.
Emperor Taikang's expression changed drastically. What level of weapon was this, to have such terrifying pressure?
Struggling to lift his head, Emperor Taikang stared at Lu Chen in the distance, and at this moment he unexpectedly discovered that the Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon was so frightened it was retreating continuously.
That's a Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon, and Lu Chen merely took out a spiritual artifact to scare it.
This was the first time Emperor Taikang had seen a Heavenly Demon afraid.
Seeing Emperor Guangze seemingly having thoughts of escaping, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Don't think about running away, let me assist you in finding release."
As he spoke, Lu Chen gathered the power of slaughter on his body, and in the next moment, his body transformed into a flash of blood light, instantly appearing before Emperor Guangze.
Following that, he swung his sword, countless rays of bloodlight slashing out from the Shattering God Sword.
Blood Soul Slash!!!
The next moment, Emperor Guangze's body was torn apart, blood-red light emanating from the cracks, growing increasingly bright. Before Emperor Guangze could react, his body exploded abruptly.
This was Lu Chen's first time using a Holy Tier swordsmanship, and even he did not expect its power to be so immense. He knew he could handle the Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon, but did not anticipate it would be so effortlessly.
Nor did the people beyond the Cosmic Abyss.
Seeing the Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon transformed by Emperor Guangze being cut down with one sword by Lu Chen, everyone from the Qingyue Holy Land widened their eyes and stared fixedly at Lu Chen, with an expression of disbelief.
That was a Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon, yet it was cut down with just one sword?
Even if they sent out a Ninth Layer Realm Great Emperor, they couldn't deal with the Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon, yet Lu Chen, only a Great Emperor of the Fifth Layer Realm, effortlessly slayed the Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon. How terrifying must his strength be?
If he could slay a Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon with ease, does that mean he could also easily slay a Ninth Layer Realm Great Emperor? Thinking of this possibility, the emperors present from the Qingyue Holy Land were drenched in sweat, including Emperor Taikang. At this moment, Emperor Taikang internally felt his end was near.
The Slaughter Emperor loved nothing more than slaughter, and Lu Chen probably had his eyes on them now.
After recovering, Emperor Taikang immediately said, "Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperors from the Qingyue Holy Land snapped out of their trance, quickly turning around and fleeing towards the distance. They had no desire whatsoever to engage Lu Chen in battle.
Other people had slain a Ninth Layer Realm Heavenly Demon with one swing, to fight Lu Chen would be to court death.
The only way they could survive now was to use the Cosmic Abyss to stall Lu Chen, preventing him from coming over and creating a chance for them to escape.
Seeing Emperor Taikang and the others fleeing in a panic, Lu Chen simply chuckled and didn't pursue them.
With this Cosmic Abyss in between, he indeed couldn't chase directly at present, but he had a Holy Tier Transmission Array in the Central Star Domain, so there was no need to chase them directly to block their path.
After a day and a night of fleeing, Emperor Taikang and the others suddenly found that no one seemed to be chasing after them.
At this moment, an emperor said, "Saint Heir, with that Cosmic Abyss, even if Lu Chen is strong, he likely wouldn't dare to come after us."
That place couldn't even let a Ninth Layer Realm Great Emperor escape, and the most eerie thing was that abyss could directly transform people into Heavenly Demons.
They believed that Lu Chen would not take such a big risk to kill them.
Emperor Taikang stopped, turned back to gaze in the direction of the Daxia Dynasty, and released his divine sense to perceive, indeed not detecting Lu Chen's presence.
Emperor Taikang let out a slight sigh of relief; if it weren't for that Cosmic Abyss, they might all have perished here.
After relaxing, Emperor Taikang took a deep breath, "I really didn't expect Lu Chen to be so patient."
Logically speaking, with someone as powerful as Lu Chen, he should have the dignity of a strong person. Yet he created a clone to follow the immortal boat of the Qingyue Holy Land, even acknowledging him as a mentor, showing no trace of a powerhouse's airs.
An emperor next to Emperor Taikang said, "It's truly baffling why Lu Chen needed to send a clone to follow us."
Emperor Taikang said, "This can be blamed on my eagerness to take on a disciple. If it weren't for my seeing his high talent and wanting to cultivate an outstanding disciple, I wouldn't have fallen for it. He merely went along with the plan."
"Oh well, in any case, it didn't cause any real loss."
Another emperor said, "Saint Heir, not only did we fail to conquer the Daxia Dynasty, but we also retreated so quickly. Our ancestor will likely be displeased."
"Moreover, the issue with Emperor Guangze will probably be difficult to explain."
Emperor Guangze had come as the overseer, and yet, out of all the workers, the overseer Emperor Guangze, who was of the Ninth Layer Realm, was the one who died. Returning with such an outcome, the inherently suspicious Lord of Qingyue would surely think they conspired to kill Emperor Guangze.
