Chapter 1540: Chapter 525: Relentless Pursuit
At the same time, as the four prepared to escape, a jet-black centipede several meters long appeared, spewing poisonous mist at them. It was the Thousand Legged Centipede.
Under the nourishment of recent days, the Thousand Legged Centipede’s injuries had already healed.
"Kill!"
Lu Chensha and Lu Mingfeng also formed a Talisman, immediately pursuing.
Lu Mingfeng’s Substitute Talisman was still in effect, making his approach very aggressive.
Lu Chensha maintained a bit of distance, directly sending the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider for a life-and-death struggle.
The physical body of the Second Rank Demon Beast was extremely strong, and even being slashed with a few strikes posed little problem.
"Pfft!"
A cultivator from the Shangguan Family spurted blood but forcibly suppressed the injury, continuing to flee.
Thus, a thrilling escape and chase ensued.
The commotion was quite shocking, attracting some people’s attention.
"This is the Divine Blade Shangguan Family. I know the leader; he’s called Shangguan Sheng, rumored to be one of the family’s seeds. Why is he being chased!?"
"Which family actually dares to hunt the Shangguan Family!?"
"Second Rank Demon Beast! That’s a Second Rank Demon Beast! Why is that Second Rank Demon Beast also hunting the Shangguan Family!?"
Seeing the situation, these people quickly avoided it from afar, not daring to get involved.
"Bang——"
Even though the three cultivators from the Shangguan Family were fleeing, they were also waiting for an opportunity.
One of them spotted a flaw in Lu Qingyan’s defense and suddenly slashed out, lightning flashing wildly like a roaring Thunder Dragon, ferocious and domineering.𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"Black Dragon Thorn!"
Lu Qingyan braced herself, but her protective aura dimmed, causing her to fly backward.
"This Shangguan Family is indeed not simple!"
Lu Chensha immediately caught Lu Qingyan, squinting slightly as he continued the pursuit.
Although the Shangguan Family had their means, shaking them off wasn’t easy. During the process, they encountered a group who lent a hand to the Shangguan Family.
However, not everyone could easily withstand the effects of the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider.
Before they even made a move, Lu Chensha went ahead, instantly killing two people.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft——"
Such tactics frightened the group into fleeing, realizing that this battle was beyond their ability to intervene.
At this time, a previously seriously injured cultivator from the Shangguan Family was also caught off guard by Lu Qingyan, who directly exchanged injury for injury to kill him.
"Split up and flee!"
The last two Shangguan Family cultivators saw this scene with an expression of shock and anger, filled with murderous intent.
But they knew the tide had turned against them.
The two of them were not a match for the three from the Lu Family, so they chose to flee separately.
"Kill this one first!"
Lu Qingyan was injured at the time, and Lu Chensha was uneasy letting her pursue one alone.
Immediately, the three headed toward one person.
Even though the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider was not good at tracking by scent, after the recent battle, the poisonous mist from the Thousand Legged Centipede had already memorized their scent and could catch their trail as long as they weren’t far.
The Hui God Worm’s soul perception also remembered the aura of the two, capable of roughly determining their direction as long as they weren’t too far.
"If you dare to kill me, my Shangguan Family will definitely not let you go!"
After a long time, the Shangguan Family cultivator spoke with a look of despair.
He was planning to return home to achieve Foundation Establishment, with a promising future.
But now, being chased so miserably by a mere False Core Family cultivator, near death’s door, his heart was filled with indignation.
"If that’s your last words, then you may die now!"
Lu Chensha said coldly, commanding the Iron Fire Ant and the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider, along with Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng, to attack him.
Although this Shangguan Family cultivator was quite formidable, far exceeding the level of Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng,
he could only die with resentment, unable to close his eyes, facing the siege of three people, one beast, and a hundred insects.
"There’s just one left, and this person will definitely hide until the Secret Realm ends to come out. It won’t be easy to find him."
Lu Qingyan said with a somewhat pale and tired expression.
"When the Purple Shadow Secret Realm ends and the domain gate opens, there will be an opportunity then!"
Lu Mingfeng said.
"Indeed, as long as we block him the moment it opens, we can kill him!"
Lu Chensha said softly.
Only one person remained, and the other party hid the whole time, making it difficult to locate him.
"But doing so in front of everyone...,"
Lu Qingyan frowned slightly.
"From the moment we acted, we were already at odds with the Shangguan Family; there’s no need to care. Their influence under the Heavenly Sword Sect won’t affect our family."
Lu Chensha said, pausing briefly, then continued softly, "Moreover, we’re not afraid of the Shangguan Family."
Others were unaware of their family’s heritage, but he knew a thing or two about his father’s strength.
Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng exchanged a glance, then nodded.
Soon, the three sorted through their gains.
"The haul from the Shangguan Family is truly abundant."
"Sister Yuan, Mingfeng, there are still five days left before the Purple Shadow Secret Realm ends. Take some Spiritual Medicines, or it would be a waste to return and turn them in."
Lu Chensha said to Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng, also taking a few Spiritual Medicines himself to recover.
Once they had mostly recovered, they went back to find Lu Ziyun and the others.
After distributing some Spiritual Medicines to them, the three of them went to a high peak of the Purple Shadow Mountain, waiting for the Secret Realm to end.
When the domain gate opens, should the Shangguan Family cultivator dare to appear, the three of them would attack.
"Boom——"
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
By consuming a large number of Spiritual Medicines that strengthened the body, Lu Qingyan finally crossed the last half-step, breaking through to the Second Rank in Body Refinement.
"Congratulations to Sister Yuan on the breakthrough, after killing that person, we’ll be even more assured."
Lu Chensha spoke up.
The Shangguan Family’s cultivator was no simple matter.
Dealing with them quickly when the opponent was on guard would still be challenging.
"Such wastefulness, only to break through to the Second Rank."
Although Lu Qingyan was delighted, she was somewhat distressed.
The Spiritual Medicines she consumed during this time wasted more than half of their potency.
If brought back and refined into Elixir Medicines, it would be enough for several people to break through.
