Chapter 469: Nowhere to Escape

Seeing himself about to fall into Chi Sha Yao Huang's encirclement, Lu Xun without a word summoned his Internal Dharma Form, simultaneously activating the Instant Word Technique and drawing on Chaos Power.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xun rushed to the edge, trying to break out through the gap between the vines.

The terror of the Nine Realms, Lu Xun had deeply experienced it in the Northern Dipper Secret Realm.

That was something he could not match even with all his means at this stage.

So Lu Xun simply did not try to fight Chi Sha Yao Huang, but instead chose to break out at the first opportunity.

Although his Instant Word Technique was fast, Chi Sha Yao Huang's reaction was equally swift.

A large number of demon vines surged forward almost simultaneously, sealing off Lu Xun's path.

Lu Xun gave a light snort, and the weapon in his hand fiercely attacked the demon vines.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering collision sound rang out.

This strike was astonishingly mighty, yet it left no mark on the demon vines.

Again!

Lu Xun abruptly retreated, using the Instant Word Technique to narrowly dodge the vines' attack, then charged toward another gap.

Hah.

The Chi Sha Yao Huang in the sky revealed a mocking smile.

In his amber-like demon eyes, a cruel interest flickered, as if watching a trapped beast's struggle, he gazed at Lu Xun's futile struggle.

Although Lu Xun's Instant Word Technique was fast, it was still not enough against this demon emperor.

The last time Lu Xun managed to escape was because he had detected him in advance, giving him no chance to get close.

Now Chi Sha Yao Huang has come to close quarters with Lu Xun, and even used his true form to surround him; relying solely on the Instant Word Technique, Lu Xun could hardly hope to break out.

He has mastered this heaven and earth; no matter how fast Lu Xun is, he cannot escape his palm.

As expected.

Just as Lu Xun reached the gap, a dense mass of demon vines lunged at him.

Seeing the vines approach, Lu Xun's speed suddenly became extraordinarily fast, so fast that the vines could not react.

This time Lu Xun did not choose to clash head-on with the vines, but instead went around them, aiming to charge out through the gap.

To that end, he did not hesitate to enter the Time Rift.

After entering the Time Rift, everything around him instantly became abnormally slow.

Thus Lu Xun avoided the vines' encirclement, in one move reached the gap, and then surged out.

But after charging out, Lu Xun did not appear outside.

Instead, he reappeared at the center of this region.

What's going on?

Lu Xun's eyes narrowed.

Clearly he had rushed out, yet he ended up back here.

Didn't expect that, huh?

Chi Sha Yao Huang wore a smile like a cat toying with a mouse.

He did not rush to attack, but continually reinforced the seal to prevent Lu Xun from escaping.

"Teacher, prepare to use the Sword Core."

Lu Xun did not give up, again activating the Instant Word Technique to charge outward.

By now, all we can do is try the Sword Core in Fu Yue's hand.

Just as he rushed to the outskirts, dense demon vines surged again, blocking Lu Xun's escape.

Lu Xun entered the Time Rift again, forcibly avoiding those vines.

"Now!"

With Lu Xun's voice, Fu Yue triggered the Sword Core.

A brilliant sword light flashed out instantly, slashing forward.

There, in fact, there was nothing; it appeared utterly empty.

But how could a demon emperor's seal truly be empty?

Otherwise, how did Lu Xun get back?

As expected.

As the sword light emerged, Lu Xun felt that something had been cut open.

"Go!"

He pulled Fu Yue and rushed out.

Just as they were about to burst out,

suddenly,

in the space ahead, countless demon vines burst forth again, like patches, sealing the slashed area airtight.

Lu Xun was blocked once more.

Lu Xun was about to enter the Time Rift when he noticed blood already trickling from the corner of Fu Yue's mouth.

That's right,

Entering the Time Rift places extremely high demands on one's physical strength; even a Seven Realm's strength struggles to bear it.

Just now, Lu Xun pulled Fu Yue and forcibly entered the Time Rift twice, which likely already caused her some injury.

Another time would probably inflict severe injury on Fu Yue, possibly even irreversible harm.

Thinking this through, Lu Xun had no choice but to store Fu Yue in the Inner Realm Space before entering the Time Rift again and charging outward.

It merely delayed him for less than a second, and the density of the demon vines outside became greater.

Lu Xun relied on the time gap and still rushed out.

But...

Just like last time, he appeared again in the central area.

"Don't struggle; this is my world—you can't get out."

Chi Sha Yao Huang's faint voice sounded.

Although the voice was faint, he was actually startled just now.

The Sword Origin that Fu Yue took out had truly astonishing power—it almost let Lu Xun escape.

Fortunately, he had anticipated that Lu Xun would have a means to deal with the Nine Realms, so he made preparations in advance.

"Troublesome."

Lu Xun furrowed his brow slightly.

Repeated breakout attempts failed; even letting Fu Yue use the Sword Origin couldn't break out.

The current situation, for Lu Xun, is quite tricky.

This Dragon-Transforming Demon Body came at a bad time.

If it weren't for the desire enhancement it brought, given Lu Xun's caution, it would be impossible for him to be completely unaware of Chi Sha Yao Huang's trap.
