Chapter 703 - Lure, Trap
Chapter 703: Lure, Trap
The red-browed immortal was furious. Just as he thought that he was going to win by a landslide, he had been unexpectedly injured by someone that he looked down on.
He was even close to dying a painful death, as his body was close to being torn in half by the sword qi.
This humiliated him so much!
It was outrageous that this guy, whom the red-browed immortal completely looked down on, was able to injure him.
It was true that if Lu Xuan couldn’t increase his strength in the secret land of Tianhai before now, he would not have been able to injure the red-browed immortal. The difference in strength between them was massive.
Their gap had been so wide that conventional methods were simply ineffective to the red-browed immortal.
It would’ve been hard to hurt him even with a sneak attack.
Now, Lu Xuan could deal a heavy blow to the red-browed immortal. One could imagine how ferocious Lu Xuan’s combat strength had become inside the secret land of Tianhai for him to have posed such a great threat to the red-browed immortal, whose strength was at the pinnacle in the entire Holy Sun Continent.
Even if Lu Xuan had taken advantage of a sneak attack, it was already an amazing result.
Right when the red-browed immortal was trying to expel the sword qi of the Geng Metal Sword from his body, Lu Xuan took the chance to slash out several beams of sword qi in quick succession. He broke the chain around him from that bronze ancient clock, as well as the control of space.
All of a sudden, he felt his body become very light. It was as if the feeling of being in a quagmire had finally disappeared.
“Whoosh!”
Lu Xuan’s figure suddenly disappeared on the spot without a trace.
Lu Xuan had disappeared in the sky, instantly fading away into nothingness!
“You want to escape? Where do you think you can escape to?!”
The red-browed immortal was furious because of Lu Xuan, so he would definitely not let Lu Xuan go so easily. The red-browed immortal immediately chased after Lu Xuan.
Both men moved extremely fast, like two streamers shuttling through space!
Soon, the red-browed immortal was stunned by how fast Lu Xuan’s body technique was. The red-browed immortal was at a higher cultivation realm when compared to Lu uan, yet he still failed to catch up to Lu Xuan.
“How is this possible? What kind of body technique is this? The Wanderer of Blood is already a first-class body technique in the world. Even if Lu Xuan is from a sect that specializes in body techniques, the Wanderer of Blood should still be stronger. What body technique is he using?”
The red-browed immortal was very shocked.
Not only was he at a higher cultivation realm, but he also had the Divine Blood Church’s top body technique: the Wanderer of Blood. One could’ve said that even though he wasn’t the fastest in the world, he was definitely one of the fastest.
However, the red-browed immortal was unable to catch up with Lu Xuan, whose level of cultivation was much lower. Instead, he had fallen far behind!
He suddenly felt so humiliated!
He seemed to have pictured Lu Xuan speaking about him.
“I’m being hunted by a top expert in the Divine Transformation Realm, but I’m not worried at all. His body technique is not as fast as mine!”
When the red-browed immortal thought of Lu Xuan saying this to himself, the red-browed immortal felt as if his intelligence had been insulted.
“He must have a lot of secrets on his body if he can get…” The red-browed immortal thought of all kinds of miraculous things on Lu Xuan. His expression suddenly changed as he thought about it further.
With Lu Xuan’s body technique alone, he was able to make the red-browed immortal put all of his efforts into the fight.
If this method could be obtained, with his skills, the red-browed immortal would even dare to say that his speed was the fastest in the world.
His martial arts would’ve been invincible in the world; he could move at such a fast and unbreakable speed!
As long as the speed could be that fast to a certain extent, he could kill experts at the same level as him.
Lu Xuan was able to catch the red-browed immortal off by surprise. Aside from the red-browed immortal not being on guard against Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan moved as fast as lightning; he was too fast for the red-browed immortal to catch up.
Lu Xuan thought the red-browed immortal was too slow for him. He could only use his sixth sense to feel the terrifying feeling that Lu Xuan exuded so that he could defend himself against Lu Xuan.
He was at a huge advantage due to his cultivation realm. The red-browed immortal could immediately sense the incoming danger. Otherwise, Lu Xuan would’ve instantly bisected him.
“How could he be the fastest! That should be me!”
Greed immediately flashed in the red-browed immortal’s eyes. As long as he could catch Lu Xuan, he would gain something good. He did not believe that Lu Xuan could continue flying away and maintain this speed.
Even if the red-browed immortal had to follow Lu Xuan to the ends of the earth, Lu Xuan would still be caught!
The chase continued for three days and three nights. The red-browed immortal directly chased Lu Xuan into the endless sea, where the waves were rough and the dark clouds were low. It seemed as if the sky was about to fall.
Two lights appeared in rapid succession, one golden and the other blood-red, and swept through the dark clouds.
Lu Xuan ran ahead at a rapid speed, while the red-browed immortal was behind him in hot pursuit.
For three whole days, the red-browed immortal did not let Lu Xuan go at all. He wanted Lu Xuan to exhaust his Spiritual Aether.
Of course, this strategy was useful when dealing with ordinary people. If ordinary people flew as fast as Lu Xuan, their Spiritual Aether would have been exhausted in one day.
However, Lu Xuan’s born Taoism aptitude was so powerful that his Spiritual Aether recovered at an astonishing rate. Even if he flew rapidly for three days and three nights, it would only consume around a tenth of his Spiritual Aether. No matter how much he consumed, the Spiritual Aether would’ve quickly recovered.
The red-browed immortal exclaimed, “You won’t be able to escape!”
He was pleasantly surprised to find that on the fourth day, Lu Xuan seemed to have slowed down. It was as if he had begun to lose a substantial amount of Spiritual Aether.
The red-browed immortal did not suspect anything. After all, showing signs of Spiritual Aether being depleted now after having persisted for this long had already shocked him.
When he had been in the same realm as Lu Xuan, he was not able to do this.
This made the red-browed immortal even more determined to eradicate Lu Xuan. Otherwise, it would’ve been a huge disaster for the entire Divine Blood Church if Lu Xuan continued to mature and want vengeance.
Lu Xuan seemed to be gradually slowing down. He could see the red-browed immortal approaching him from behind.
Suddenly, a huge bloody opening appeared within the dark clouds, trying to swallow Lu Xuan into the air.
There was a massive, flying monster within the clouds with wings measuring hundreds of meters long. It was about to swallow Lu Xuan up, who was like a bug in its eyes.
As Lu Xuan turned his hand, the Geng Metal Sword suddenly appeared on his palm. The sword then immediately slashed towards this flying monster.
“Pft!”
This flying monster was instantly chopped in half, allowing fresh blood to splatter everywhere. It could not stop Lu Xuan at all.
Lu Xuan had encountered such a situation too many times in this sea area within the past few days, so he was used to it.
Suddenly, Lu Xuan plunged into the endless sea.
