Chapter 2585 - 2275: Tao Family’s Escape
Chapter 2585: Chapter 2275: Tao Family’s Escape
After the third sword of Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills was swung, the Sword Evil in the sky lingered on, and the people of the Border Wilderness felt the long-awaited brightness again; although this light was somewhat too dazzling.
Lu Chen watched Tao Jin gradually dissipate in the distance, and couldn’t help but think, as a Saint Realm cultivator, using an Emperor Realm Sword Skill could produce such a terrifying Sword Evil; if an Emperor Realm expert from Central State used an Emperor Realm Sword Skill or Cultivation Technique, wouldn’t their power be even more terrifying?
However, speaking of which, the Emperor Realm Sword Skill is good, but it really consumes too much spiritual evil.
He hadn’t even finished swinging the seventh sword, and the spiritual evil in his body was already running low.
This was only the third sword; if he swung the seventh sword, perhaps his remaining spiritual evil might be insufficient even to maintain the flying state.
Lu Chen exhaled and sheathed his longsword.
Tao Jin is dead, and the Tao Family should be dealt with too.
Meanwhile, above Spirit Hill City, seeing their ancestor turn to ashes, the members of the Tao Family were scared pale.
At this moment, Tao Wen, the Family Head of the Tao Family, without hesitation, activated the flying boat and led the tens of thousands of the Tao Family away towards the distance.
Their ancestor was dead; if they stayed in the Border Wilderness, the Tao Family would undoubtedly be exterminated.
Seeing the Tao Family attempting to escape, Liu Qingyun immediately pursued them.
However, the flying boat of the Tao Family was extremely fast, and no matter how hard Liu Qingyun chased, the distance widened increasingly, making it impossible to keep up.
At this time, Lu Chen also sensed the Tao Family’s flying boat, speeding towards the direction of Central State, although deviating from Lu Chen’s location, he could intercept them ahead.
Lu Chen chuckled, this Tao Family was truly foolish; he had just finished fighting Tao Jin earlier, yet their family still headed this way.
If they had fled to the south, he might not have been able to catch up with them quickly.
Lu Chen activated spiritual evil and transformed his body into a white streak of light, flying towards the front of the Tao Family’s flying boat in an attempt to intercept them.
Lu Chen thought he could easily intercept the Tao Family’s flying boat, but unexpectedly, as the boat was about to approach him, it suddenly vanished as if it went to another space.
Seeing the sky in the distance empty, Lu Chen frowned; what was going on?
He didn’t perceive any spatial fluctuations; why had the opposition disappeared?
Was it invisibility, or had a spatial transmission occurred?
Could flying boats in this world perform space transmission?
If the Tao Family indeed has such a flying boat, they might be a Super Force in Central State; why would they come to the Border Wilderness?
Lu Chen released Divine Thought, trying to track the position of the Tao Family’s flying boat.
No matter how he searched, the surrounding space had no trace of the Tao Family’s flying boat, and it looked like it had been transported away.
Yet, there were no spatial fluctuations earlier, so theoretically, it couldn’t be space transmission.
There is another possibility: that the flying boat’s speed was already at its peak, so fast that even Lu Chen’s Divine Thought couldn’t capture it, which is why he felt the Tao Family’s flying boat disappear instantly.
Lu Chen meticulously searched back and forth within the empty space, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed with no results; eventually, he had to leave and return to Spirit Hill City.
It seems the Tao Family does have some means, no wonder Tao Jin dared to confront him.
However, thinking about it, after all, they are a family from Central State, with significant heritage, having many life-saving cards is also normal.
Lu Chen stopped worrying about these and returned to Spirit Hill City, heading directly to the Liu Family.
In the Liu Family’s council hall, the members were discussing how to hold tightly onto Lu Chen’s protection.
The strength Lu Chen displayed thoroughly amazed the Liu Family.
Previously, they had only heard rumors that Lu Chen could instantly kill Saint Realm experts but hadn’t seen him engage with a Saint Realm combatant.
They assumed Lu Chen used some sort of Magic Treasure.
After witnessing Lu Chen in action firsthand, they realized the strength of Lu Chen as a Saint Realm was far stronger than Central State’s Saint Realm.
The most crucial part was that Lu Chen’s Realm enhancement speed dramatically surpassed the Heavenly Pride of Central State.
Perhaps not long from now, Lu Chen could achieve Emperor Realm.
If they could firmly grasp onto Lu Chen, win his favor, perhaps the Liu Family might become a Super Aristocratic Family in the future.
Yet, some in the Liu Family were a bit distressed; they wished to fawn over Lu Chen, to please him, but they currently lacked the strength and resources to assist Lu Chen effectively.
Even though the Family Head and Miss Liu had become Lu Chen’s women, to a strong figure like Lu Chen, women were like clothes; he could have as many women as he wanted, and various forces would deliver women to him even if he didn’t request.
For a man who wasn’t deficient in women, making him genuinely love a lady was very challenging, and beauties hardly worked.
Listening to the elders’ discussions, Liu Qingyun remained silent.
Through the rapport feedback, she knew Lu Chen favored her sister frequently over the years. Although she couldn’t make Lu Chen truly love her and her sister, as long as Lu Chen still favored them, the Liu Family could maintain their footing in the Border Wilderness, and excessive ingratiation was unnecessary now.
These elders were somewhat too hasty.
At this time, a powerful aura landed outside the council hall.
Upon sensing Lu Chen’s aura, Liu Qingyun immediately rose, and the hall instantly quieted down.
At this moment, Lu Chen’s figure appeared at the hall entrance, and upon seeing him, all the elders stood up simultaneously, bowing to Lu Chen.
"Greetings, Regent King."
Lu Chen spoke indifferently, "No need for formalities, I need to speak with your Family Head; you may leave now."
Hearing this, the elders all showed joy on their faces.
"Yes, Regent King."
They then swiftly vacated the council hall, leaving Lu Chen and Liu Qingyun some private space.
Once everyone left, Lu Chen asked, "Does Central State have flying boats capable of space transmission?"
Upon hearing this question, Liu Qingyun pondered for a moment, then replied, "As far as I know, there aren’t flying boats like that; however, it’s rumored that Super Forces possess Transmission Arrays."
Lu Chen thought to himself, looks like he needs to ask Chu Yuqin; the Liu Family in this world is just a small aristocratic family, their knowledge isn’t extensive, asking Liu Qingyun would be pointless.
But he was merely asking in passing; he had other matters for visiting Liu Qingyun.
Since he had come to the border, naturally, he needed to forge a closer bond with Liu Qingyun.
Lu Chen said at this point, "This isn’t the place to talk; let’s change location."
Liu Qingyun instantly understood Lu Chen’s intention; with an expressionless face, she walked outside the hall, saying as she moved, "Regent King, please come with me."
Under Liu Qingyun’s guidance, the two arrived at Liu Qingyun’s boudoir.
Just entering the room, Lu Chen stretched out his arms from behind, wrapping around her waist.
With one hand applying slight pressure, he untied her sash.
Lu Chen was long adept at undressing others, it only took a brief moment, and before him was a stretch of white.
In this world, it was Lu Chen’s second time with Liu Qingyun, but due to Liu Qingqiu’s rapport, Liu Qingyun had long gotten used to it.
Liu Qingyun had no resistance to Lu Chen’s touch or his techniques.
After entering an intimate state with Lu Chen, Liu Qingyun exhaled soothingly and softly asked, "Regent King, did you eradicate the Tao Family?"
Lu Chen, pressed against Liu Qingyun’s back, answered softly by her ear, "No, their flying boat was peculiar; I intended to wipe them out, but their flying boat vanished before my eyes."
