After exchanging a few more moves, Chen San suddenly feinted with his spear and turned to run.
Seeing Chen San retreating, his n imdiately stood up, wanting to help.
"Where do you think you're going!" Lu Zian shouted loudly, quickly chasing after, and with a casual thrust, aid his spear at Chen San's back.
Just as he made his move, Chen San suddenly stopped, leaning back while simultaneously thrusting his Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear backward.
"Turning Horse Spear!"
A sharp gleam flashed in Lu Zian's eyes. His Overlord Spear had missed, and the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear's tip was now at his chest. Dodging at this point was impossible. At this critical mont, he astonishingly reached out and grabbed the sharp tip of the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear, forcefully halting its advance.
This Turning Horse Spear was a very formidable move within spear techniques. Chen San had feigned weakness earlier to lure Lu Zian into chasing him so he could use this move. However, he did not expect Lu Zian to capture the spearhead of the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to attempt this! The Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear's tip was so sharp that grabbing it would probably slice a hand right off.
Yet, Lu Zian's hands were perfectly fine, and he managed to block Chen San's move. It was only then that Chen San realized Lu Zian was wearing a pair of gloves as thin as a cicada's wings, translucent and white, making them very hard to see in the dark. Apparently, it was these gloves that allowed him to block Chen San's Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear!
"A well-executed Turning Horse Spear!" Lu Zian laughed heartily and said, "I nearly suffered a loss at your hands. It seems I've underestimated you!"
Chen San gritted his teeth, grasped his spear tightly, and shouted, "Sweeping Thousands Army!"
With that, Chen San suddenly stood up and swung his Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear fiercely towards Lu Zian.
"Good!" Lu Zian shouted back, raising his Overlord Spear to et Chen San's Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear head-on.
With a resounding boom, Chen San staggered back several steps, coughed up blood, and appeared utterly drained. The Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear in his hands broke into two pieces; the ancient fad instrunt was destroyed under the Overlord Spear!
Everyone on Chen San's side was stunned. Wasn't the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear a fad instrunt of the ages? Did it really just break like that?
Chen San stared in shock at the broken pieces of his spear. After a long pause, he finally looked up at Lu Zian and said dejectedly, "I lost!"
"Hahaha!" Lu Zian laughed towards the sky and said, "Since entering the mainland, I have yet to et an opponent. My master said Helian Tiehua could dominate the world. I thought his disciple might be able to fight , but I've been disappointed. If this is your level, what gives you the nerve to challenge my master?"
"Chen Mou's skills are diocre, not a match for you, but that doesn't an my master is inferior to yours!" Chen San paused and said solemnly, "Moreover, among my master's disciples, I'm considered useless. My master has a closed-door disciple whose strength is definitely not below yours!"
"Is that so?" Lu Zian beca interested and smiled, "Seems like the mainland isn't so boring after all. If there's a chance, I'd like to see how capable this closed-door disciple really is. Hopefully, he won't let down!"
Upon finishing his words, Lu Zian glanced at Chen San with a faint smile and said, "But I'm afraid you won't live to see it!"
Lu Zian, holding the Overlord Spear, walked directly towards Chen San, clearly intending to kill him.
Seeing this, Chen San's n quickly rushed forward to try and save him. Lu Zian, without hesitation, lifted his Overlord Spear, sweeping the first three people away. As they landed, two of them suffered multiple broken bones, and one died instantly.
"Stay back!" Chen San shouted, "After I'm dead, help my sister support the Chen Family!"
Chen San knew very well that with Lu Zian wielding the Overlord Spear, rushing in would only lead to certain death. So, he preferred to sacrifice himself and let his n preserve their strength to continue supporting Chen Si.
These n had been with him for a long ti and couldn't bear to see him die here. Despite Chen San's shouts, everyone continued to charge forward to try and stop Lu Zian.
But the outco was predictable; the Overlord Spear was like a war machine, and even getting brushed by it was enough to break bones. In just a few minutes, more than twenty people were sent flying.
Chen San watched the situation from the side, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, but he couldn't change anything. He had suffered severe internal injuries and couldn't even stand steadily, let alone fight against Lu Zian.
As the chaos continued, suddenly, a deep Buddhist chant resonated unexpectedly through the silent night sky: "Bodhi is not a tree, the bright mirror is not a platform. Originally there is not a single thing, where could dust alight?"
The voice was deep, like soone whispering softly. Yet, this voice echoed far into the night sky, and despite the noisy battlefield, everyone could clearly hear the Buddhist chant.
Everyone turned their heads simultaneously to look, including Lu Zian. However, his face showed shock and anger, as if sothing deeply displeased him.
The chant didn't cease, it was just these four sentences, repeated over and over. But each ti it was heard, it brought a different insight, as if standing in front of the Buddha himself, transford by the chant, leading people to unconsciously be moved by it.
The crowd initially fighting desperately was now extraordinarily quiet, having even forgotten the life-and-death struggle.
But Lu Zian grew more impatient, suddenly turning around and shouting, "Cursed bald donkey, dare to co out and fight !"
No one replied, yet the chant continued, its deep voice echoing across the sky.
Lu Zian seed tornted by the chant, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly grabbing the Overlord Spear, turned around and fled, not caring about Chen San.
It was only after Lu Zian left that the chant stopped, and Chen San's group finally ca to their senses. Everyone's face bore astonishnt, as if the previous events were a dream, so unreal and illusionary, and no one knew what had happened. But the Buddhist chant lingered in everyone's mind, leaving them without a trace of violent energy.
Chen San frowned, narrowly escaping death this ti. But he felt even more puzzled because he had clearly heard the chant. However, he couldn't understand where this chant had co from.
Nevertheless, Chen San knew it was the chant that saved them. If not for its tily arrival, they might all have perished.
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life!" Chen San clasped his hands in gratitude to the surroundings and repeatedly bowed his thanks. Yet, there was no sound, as if no one was there anymore.
"Great kindness, great virtue, Chen San will rember it. Should the opportunity arise, Chen San will repay boundlessly!" Chen San shouted once more before hastily leading the group away. This injury made him realize the Southern Six Provinces were fraught with danger and dared not be careless.
Not long after Chen San's vehicle had left, a tall and slender monk erged slowly from the distant mountain peak. The monk was extrely handso, dressed in white robes without a speck of dust. Behind him, a round moon perfectly encompassed his silhouette, giving him a misty yet sacred appearance.
If Cui Yulong were present, he would surely recognize him. This monk was none other than the one who had changed his mindset at the Shen Family Manor, the Wuhua Monk.
In the past, when Cui Yulong returned, he was filled with murderous intent. It was this Wuhua Monk who dispelled the killing instinct from his heart. Had it not been for Cui Yulong's unfinished worldly affairs, he would likely have retreated by now. This demonstrates that the Wuhua Monk is definitely an extraordinary figure!
Last ti, when Shen Tianjun asked soone to bring him out of seclusion, there was no further movent from him. Unexpectedly, he had been following Lu Zian all along, saving Chen San at this critical mont, thereby preserving strength for the Hong Alliance.
In Shenchuan City, hearing that Chen San was intercepted by Lu Zian, Ye Qing couldn't afford to trouble Aomuhan any longer, constantly worrying about Chen San's condition.
Ye Qing and Chen San admire each other, both being of the bold and heroic kind. Although there is so conflict with Aomuhan, it doesn't affect Ye Qing and Chen San's relationship. Knowing that Chen San was stopped by Lu Zian, Ye Qing was indeed worried.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before news arrived that Chen San and his people had escaped danger. Although Chen San was defeated, even his Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear was shattered, he managed to preserve his life, which finally allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. According to Chen San's schedule, they could return to Shenchuan City in about ten hours.
Ye Qing didn't pursue Aomuhan's trouble anymore, leaving a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill for Chen Si to heal Chen San, then left with his own people. Now that Aomuhan was seriously injured, Ye Qing's anger had subsided quite a bit, and for the ti being, he put the matter aside. After all, Liu Yuan hadn't died, so Ye Qing wouldn't pursue Aomuhan to the end.
Seeing Ye Qing not pursuing Aomuhan's trouble, Chen Si could finally breathe a sigh of relief. If Ye Qing had kept grasping at this, she wouldn't know what to do. Now, although Aomuhan suffered internal injuries, he managed to keep his life, which was good news.
Of course, Chen Si was more worried about Chen San. To ensure safety, she specially dispatched over one hundred people along the way to et Chen San, to prevent him from encountering danger again.
Ye Qing also sent a group of people to join Chen Si's escort to ensure maximum safety. However, Ye Qing knew very well that the one needing the most concern was himself.
Lu Zian defeated even Chen San, and the next challenge would, more likely than not, be Ye Qing!
