Chapter 492: Above the Moon

You can't escape.

The witch took her sixth step.

After this step, the distance between her and Lu Xun had closed to within a hundred li.

Visually, it seemed as if a rope connected her and Lu Xun.

Even if Lu Xun used the Instant Word Technique to instantly flee a thousand li away, it would be useless.

The distance between her and Lu Xun remained constant.

However far Lu Xun fled, she would move that same distance along with him.

Lu Xun had not given up; he kept trying.

What the witch is currently using is undoubtedly some kind of black magic, or similar to Barbara's spell.

For someone who has never encountered black magic, it does seem rather sinister.

But Lu Xun dares to affirm,

Even if the black magic is sinister, there must be a way to deal with it.

Otherwise, this witch would be outright invincible.

It's just that Lu Xun's current means cannot cope with it.

Not only can he not deal with it, Lu Xun also cannot see how the opponent is casting it.

"She must have locked onto me through some means, allowing her to come directly to my side via my shadow..."

Lu Xun's mind was racing.

At this moment, the witch had already taken her seventh step, drawing ever closer to him.

"Southern Ming Separation Fire, burn!"

Lu Xun made up his mind.

"Boom!"

Southern Ming Separation Fire instantly exploded into flames, igniting around Lu Xun.

He did not know how the witch had locked onto him.

But the fact that she could lock on suggests she might have left some kind of mark inside Lu Xun's body.

If Lu Xun cannot sense it, he will burn it away.

"Really clever."

This scene caused the witch to reveal a smile.

She took another step, bringing the distance between her and Lu Xun to within ten li.

At this distance, not to mention the Nine Realms, even an attack from the Seventh or Eighth Realm could easily reach Lu Xun.

But the witch did not rush to launch an attack.

She merely kept waving her wand, as if drawing something.

A sword qi arrived soundlessly.

Lu Xun launched his attack first.

The witch seemed not to have sensed the sword qi.

The sword qi, just as if it had not noticed the witch, swept straight from her position.

It slit the space there, yet did not even nick the witch's hem.

"I'm here."

In the eerie, evil voice of the Black Rose Flower, the witch took another step.

This was her ninth step.

Upon taking this step, the distance between her and Lu Xun closed to within one li.

No matter how Lu Xun fled, he could not shake her off.

"Boom boom boom!"

Lu Xun unleashed his Dual Dharma Aspects, exhausting all his means.

But these attacks could not harm the witch at all.

The witch seemed to exist in another spacetime.

Yet Lu Xun's attainments in space clearly felt that the witch was not using spatial means.

At the same time, in Lu Xun's intuition, if he were truly approached by the witch, something bad would surely happen.

If the Primordial Ancient Blood is not unleashed, Lu Xun fears he cannot deal with her.

But this witch is a Nine Realm cultivator of Lan Xing; if Lu Xun uses the Primordial Ancient Blood and still cannot kill her, that would be troublesome.

After she returns to Lan Xing, she can use this to prevent Lu Xun from gaining a foothold there.

Besides the Primordial Ancient Blood, Lu Xun still has a trump card.

After the witch took her ninth step, Lu Xun suddenly triggered the Sword Essence given by Fu Xue.

A plain-looking sword light silently slashed forth, aiming at the witch's location.

This sword light blended into Lu Xun's attacks, unremarkable yet extraordinarily swift.

By the time the witch noticed, the sword light was already upon her.

As her eyebrows had just begun to rise, her whole body was cleaved in two by the sword light.

"Dead?"

Perhaps it was too easy; Lu Xun felt uneasy.

"Not dead."

The witch's voice suddenly sounded from not far away.

Indeed, he didn't die.

Not only did he not die, the distance between her and Lu Xun had already closed to within a hundred meters.

At this distance, Lu Xun's dharma-phantom weapon could easily strike her.

But even if Lu Xun shattered space, he could not harm her.

Lu Xun had never encountered such a situation before.

It was simply unsolvable.

But Lu Xun knew this was due to his insufficient cultivation realm.

His realm was still a bit low; he couldn't see through the witch's methods.

If a Nine Realms expert came instead, he certainly wouldn't be so passive as now.

"Stop struggling, hand over Barbara, I can give you a quick death; otherwise, you'll regret coming into this world."

The witch emitted a hoarse voice.

Now she was finally speaking, rather than the black rose on her chest.

Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to sense something, and lightly tapped her wand in a direction.

There, space shattered instantly.

A hidden figure appeared.

"Lu Xueqi?"

Lu Xun froze.

The one hiding there turned out to be Lu Xueqi.

How did she happen to be nearby, and even be sensed by the witch?

Because Lu Xun wanted to fully escape the witch, he instead failed to notice her.

"Lu Xun, crush what Qian Qian gave you."

Lu Xueqi shouted loudly.

What Qian Qian gave him?

Lu Xun reacted.

Lu Xun suddenly took out something and crushed it.

The next second,

Endless moonlight surged out, instantly turning the surroundings into an ocean of light.

Upon the impact of this moonlight, it seemed as if something around Lu Xun was being broken through.

Above the horizon, a crescent moon appeared out of nowhere.

"Quick, take my hand!"

Lu Xueqi shouted again.

Lu Xun reacted quickly, stepping forward to Lu Xueqi's side and firmly grasping her hand.

"This is..."

The witch sensed something amiss and wanted to get even closer to Lu Xun.

But it was already too late.

Countless moonlight enveloped Lu Xun and Lu Xueqi, pulling the two into that crescent moon.

"No!"

In the witch's astonished and unwilling voice, that crescent moon vanished in a blink, as if it had never appeared.

"Is this... on the moon?"

At the same time.

Lu Xun discovered that he and Lu Xueqi had appeared on the moon.
