Chapter 527: Lu Xun's Choice

We can't delay any longer; let's first capture Lu Xun!

The precarious situation let the Ruler of Fusang see an opportunity.

He intends to incite the other Western Nine Realms to first capture Lu Xun and then talk.

The Western Nine Realms are all restless and eager to act.

The current situation is indeed urgent.

Although there are still Nine Realms stationed on Lan Xing

but a Tenth Realm alien species has already appeared.

Given time, there will likely be even more Nine and Tenth Realm alien species appearing.

By then, Lan Xing will be in danger.

However, after a surge of the Skeleton Angel, its combat power greatly increased, and even the many Eastern Nine Realms together with two tribulation transcendents could not withstand it.

Of course, they can still join the battle.

But these guys lean toward another option: handing over Lu Xun.

Play your trump card!

Even now, the Martial Manor Master still isn't prepared to hand over Lu Xun.

They rose during Lan Xing's most chaotic times, having weathered great storms, and their resolve is as firm as metal.

How could they abandon the East's most outstanding genius just because of a Tenth Realm?

"Uncle Yan, it's not needed."

Suddenly,

Lu Xun's voice rang out.

Lu Xun had, at some point, secretly approached the battlefield again.

After speaking up to stop the Martial Manor Master, Lu Xun's icy gaze turned to the Skeleton Angel, and he unleashed a mental wave: "You don't want to kill me? If you dare, come chase me—I'll give you a chance!"

Having said that,

Lu Xun moved his body and shot toward the distance.

The Skeleton Angel's eyes flickered.

The next second, he turned into a stream of light and pursued Lu Xun.

"Block him! Don't let him catch Xiao Xun!"

Old Master Ning roared and stepped forward to block.

The other Eastern Nine Realms likewise each employed their methods.

But the Skeleton Angel's combat power was off the charts; they simply couldn't stop it.

They merely managed to delay the Skeleton Angel for a moment.

It was precisely this moment that Lu Xun caught up to the accelerating warp-speed vessel and swiftly flew away from Lan Xing.

Now, he only has this option left.

That is to lure the Skeleton Angel away.

Although the Martial Manor Master still seems to have a trump card that might cope with a Tenth Realm's trump card, it may not be able to completely resolve the problem.

Even if we drive the Skeleton Angel away, what then?

If the Skeleton Angel were to chase all the way into the Dark Universe, attacking Lan Xing along the way, it would still be a disaster for Lan Xing.

Don't forget,

in the Dark Universe there are vast numbers of Dark Beasts.

These Dark Beasts are just as troublesome.

Even though Lan Xing is so powerful, each foray into the Dark Universe still incurs considerable losses.

If, by then, another Tenth Realm Skeleton Angel appears, it will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, the best option is to lure the Skeleton Angel away.

Lu Xun making this choice is also due to the Eastern powerhouses' unwillingness to abandon him.

These powerhouses are willing to fight for him.

Then,

Lu Xun naturally does not want to bring disaster upon Lan Xing.

As for those Western guys, we can deal with them later when they rise.

In the starry void, the Instant Technique is far inferior to a vessel capable of warp-speed flight.

The prerequisite is giving the warp-speed vessel sufficient acceleration time.

So, Lu Xun early on let the warp-speed vessel accelerate to escape, then he himself used the Instant Technique to quickly catch up.

A Tenth Realm's speed is too fast.

Even the Instant Technique isn't reliable.

Fortunately, the Eastern Nine Realms delayed him a bit.

"As expected of my Ning family's descendant, the events of those years... sigh!"

Seeing Lu Xun choose to lone‑handedly lure the Skeleton Angel away, Old Master Ning felt both pride and worry for him, and also let out a sigh.

Lu Xun is clearly hostile toward the Ning family.

Had the Ning family not abandoned Lu Xun back then, and given its protection, he would likely be even stronger than he is now.

"Heh, he's got guts."

Lu Xun's choice caused the Red Empress to look upon him with newfound respect.

"He's doomed!"

The Ruler of Fusang then had a delighted expression.

He didn't think Lu Xun could escape from a Tenth Realm's grasp.

"Old Yan, what should we do?"

"You handle the alien species first; I'll follow up and take a look!"

The Martial Manor Master chased after.

After the Skeleton Angel left, the massive Lan Xing began to accelerate again, rushing toward the Dark Universe Passage.

Many Nine Realms then turned back, some dealing with the alien species, others pushing Lan Xing to flee faster from here.

"How could it be this fast!"

After distancing from Lan Xing, Lu Xun discovered that even a warp-speed vessel could not shake off the Skeleton Angel.

This guy is too fast.

So fast it's unimaginable.

Only by using the vessel could Lu Xun perform warp-speed flight.

The Skeleton Angel needs no assistance to achieve the effect of warp-speed flight.

The distance between the other party and him is continually narrowing.
