Chapter 702: Heavily Injuring the Red-browed Immortal
At the thought of this, the red-browed immortal wore a greedy grinned. “Thank you for taking care of the obstacle for me! However, I still have to take your head back so I can get revenge!”
The red-browed immortal grew even more ferocious.
“You are quite young, yet you have already cultivated to such an extent. This must mean that you are no weaker than my nephew. If I’m correct, you are likely a Sacred Son of a certain big sect in the north. I must admit, you are rather bold to even dare to come here to our Divine Blood Church!”
The more he talked, the more excited he became. Then, he said, “It seems you have received many good things throughout your adventures. How about we make a deal? If you hand over all of your goods to me, I will grant you a slightly swifter death. I think you have likely heard about the means of our Divine Blood Church. We can truly make you suffer and beg to be killed. We can make your primordial spirit never be condensed again. Once that happens, you will be begging me to kill you!”
Lu Xuan nodded without fear as he said, “It’s true that you know some means that will allow people to suffer and beg to be killed!”
Lu Xuan did not doubt that the Divine Blood Church had these means as he had seen too many similar methods in his previous life. He could even do some of them himself. It could be said that there were plenty of vicious magic techniques in the world that were 100 times more painful than martial arts when used on the body.
Few people who had been tortured by those means all eventually had to give in.
“Since now you know, you should be a good kid and take out everything you have. Afterward, I can send you off without making you suffer!”
As the red-browed immortal spoke, he couldn’t stop his face from forming an excited expression. He had a feeling that he would soon reap a huge benefit.
Lu Xuan then apathetically said, “I didn’t say that I will hand them over!”
The red-browed immortal let out a cold hum as he said, “It looks like you are not willing to do as I say and hand over all of your goods!”
Above his head, the ancient bronze clock, which was taller than an average person, suddenly sounded.
As the sound waves spread out, Lu Xuan instantly felt as if the space around him was locked in place, making him feel as if he could not move at all. It was as if he had fallen into a quagmire.
The red-browed immortal said with another cold hum, “I don’t care what means you have. You won’t be able to escape from me!”
The red-browed immortal was not worried about Lu Xuan trying to escape. As long as he had this bronze clock to lock onto the surrounding space, Lu Xuan would not be able to escape even if he could grow wings and fly.
The red-browed immortal walked towards Lu Xuan, seemingly savoring each step. Seeing Lu Xuan immobilized brought a chilling smile to his face.
“You are too careless!”
Looking at the red-browed immortal approaching him, Lu Xuan, who had not moved an inch, suddenly released a layer of his inner skill on his body. To the red-browed immortal’s surprise, he had repelled the layer of sound talismans that were fixed on his body.
Once Lu Xuan instantly regained mobility, his power suddenly began to grow. This allowed him to then condense the Auric Flower.
When facing a strong enemy, Lu Xuan did not hold anything back. This was because he knew that he only had one chance.
Suddenly, the Geng Metal sword in his hand emitted a huge light. Within the blink of an eye, an amazing beam of sword qi shot upward into the sky. It sliced out directly towards the red-browed immortal at a lightning-fast speed.
“What?” The red-browed immortal was instantly shocked. He did not expect that at a time like this, Lu Xuan still had the ability to fight back.
He could even move again!
Nothing like this had ever happened to the red-browed immortal before. It was almost impossible for an expert of the same level who had been locked in place by him to escape in such a short amount of time. It should’ve been even harder to escape if his target was locked in place without any form of defense.
There was also the fact that in such a hurry, Lu Xuan was able to slash out such an amazing sword qi.
It seemed that the red-browed immortal had underestimated Lu Xuan. Although he was at a higher cultivating realm than Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan had once been a Celestial Lord. Lu Xuan knew too many techniques, as his comprehension of the laws of magic was beyond the red-browed immortal’s reach.
Lu Xuan had broken free from the shackles in the blink of an eye.
The sword light swept across the sky as swiftly as lightning and directly arrived in front of the red-browed immortal.
Boom!
The sword light directly blasted onto the ancient bronze clock, which had blocked the deadliest blow at that critical moment.
The red-browed immortal still wore a smug smile on his face. This ancient bronze clock was believed to contain a mix of both offensive and defensive abilities. It was so powerful that even if it was taken by surprise, there was still no method that could break through the defense of this ancient bronze clock.
It emitted waves of ripples that locked the astonishing sword qi in place.
However, the red-browed immortal’s smugness had only lasted half a second. The ripples that had blocked the sword qi was only able to lock it in place for a moment before it was shattered by the sword attack. Immediately afterward, the sword qi shattered through dozens of layers of defense as if it had been smashed on the ground. Then, it directly arrived in front of the red-browed immortal.
The red-browed immortal was finally able to see the murderous intent contained within that mass of sword qi.
“Wait, that’s Geng Metal!”
Only then did the red-browed immortal understand why even the ripples emitted from his bronze ancient clock could not stop the sword qi. The sword qi was emitted from the Geng Metal Sword.
The Geng Metal Sword was rumored to be invincible with unparalleled strength.
“Pft!”
The red-browed immortal was stabbed by the sword attack, with half of his body exposed. A shocking sword wound was created down his ribs, as it almost tore him in half.
“Ah!”
The red-browed immortal could not help but scream. He had never thought that Lu Xuan would’ve tried to kill him at that moment.
The ability and weapon that the red-browed immortal was proud of had not been able to protect him; he was heavily injured by the sword.
Fresh blood instantly spattered out. The red-browed immortal flew back wildly, avoiding the attack range of this unparalleled sword.
“Argh! How dare you hurt me! You’ll pay for this with your blood!”
The red-browed immortal was furious, as his entire body trembled and fresh blood gushed out. There wasn’t even a way to stop the bleeding. This was because the Geng Metal Sword’s sword qi was so attached to the wound that it was difficult to be removed.
This was why he was bleeding so much. His face was pale, and his entire body was trembling.
He was heavily injured and nearly torn in half within mere moments.
Because he had the bronze clock to block the critical blow, he was given another half a second to react. Otherwise, Lu Xuan’s sword attack might’ve already torn him in half.
He couldn’t help but feel surprised and angry at the thought of such a scene. He suddenly felt that his back was covered in cold beads of sweat. While expelling the sword qi of the Geng Metal Sword in his body, he glared at Lu Xuan.
After a few breaths, he was finally able to get rid of all the sword qi!
