Chapter 117: Battle Against You Huang

Sure enough, it's you.

Lu Chen's expression was solemn.

"Little Friend Lu, you take them and go first; we'll cover your rear!"

The leading elder stepped in front of Lu Chen, and as he spoke, he produced a bronze ancient mirror.

The three were only at the Mid Void Heaven realm; facing a Dao Comprehension cultivator, they could hardly oppose him.

Nevertheless, for Lu Chen's sake, they still chose to actively cover his rear.

The next moment, the mirror's surface flashed with green light, actually suppressing the Dao Comprehension aura emanating from You Huang in a short time.

The other two elders also did not hesitate; they simultaneously formed seals, and the auras of the three Void Heaven cultivators erupted at once.

"Mayfly shaking a tree." You Huang's expression remained calm as he flung a soul banner from his sleeve, and a fierce deathly aura instantly swept out.

"It's a pity that you brat stole the Chaos Heaven Banner; otherwise, with my accumulation these days, my cultivation might have advanced further!"

You Huang's eyes flashed with anger; ever since he discovered the Chaos Heaven Banner missing when he broke through at the Heaven Demon Sect, he has kept Lu Chen in mind.

At this moment, he wished he could flay Lu Chen alive, crush his bones, refine his soul into the soul banner, and turn his flesh into a puppet.

Instantly, the bronze ancient mirror was shattered by the soul banner's aura; the three elders suffered backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

As the few came into contact with the aura released by the soul banner, a minuscule force instantly drilled into their bodies.

The next moment, their vitality was rapidly depleted.

At the same time, You Huang felt a pure vitality entering his own body.

"Is this the vitality of a Void Heaven cultivator?"

Several elders had already been stagnant at their current realm for many years, and their lifespans were not long to begin with.

Under such absorption, soon one person's qi and blood gradually waned, his face turning deathly pale.

Lu Chen's expression was solemn as he pondered whether he had the strength to fight the opponent.

Actually, if his soul power were restored to its peak, a brief clash with the opponent would be completely fine.

But currently, his soul power is weak.

At this moment, he thought of Empress Qi Luo.

With the Empress's current abilities, if they joined forces, dealing with You Huang briefly should not be a big problem.

He originally thought the Empress would agree.

After all, if he were gone, the other side would also have to disappear.

"Empress Sister, can you help me?"

Before Lu Chen's words even fell, a voice of refusal came from the Empress's side.

"It's a pity, you must rely on yourself."

"Because my soul power needs to be used elsewhere, more important."

"It won't take long; after the Righteous-Demon War officially breaks out, you will understand my meaning."

The Empress's words were full of calm.

"If you really can't wait, when you next perform the Derivation Technique, you will understand all of this."

Lu Chen dislikes people who speak in riddles.

Especially the Empress, who is such a riddle-speaker.

"Alright."

But given the circumstances, he could only believe the other party.

His divine sense returned to reality; his gaze fell on the You Huang before him.

Huang Jingxuan is already rushing over at full speed; he only needs to hold out a few minutes.

"I really dislike this feeling of helplessness!"

Lu Chen spoke resentfully, then had Lin Yunxue and Lin Qingxi leave first.

"No! Even if I die, I want to die with you."

Upon hearing that, Lin Qingxi refused to leave no matter what.

"Yunxue, Qingxi, if you stay here now, you'll only drag me down."

"I understand." Lin Yunxue was clearer-headed than her daughter.

She knew she and her daughter couldn't help, so she pulled her daughter and left quickly.

All of this happened quickly.

Lu Chen's gaze returned once more to You Huang.

"At a life-and-death juncture, there's actually time to handle love affairs."

"Or are you actually buying time?"

The next moment, another spatial rift appeared before You Huang.

By the time Lu Chen reacted, the opponent had already arrived before him.

"So fast!"

After all, he had overexerted himself not long ago at Luan Yue, so his slowed reaction is normal.

"Blood-refining Puppet Technique!"

Fortunately, he still had part of his trump cards unused.

Just before You Huang's attack arrived, he released all the puppets stored on his person at once.

"Boom!"

He had thought they could at least withstand two blows, but in an instant, all the puppets were reduced to dust by You Huang's attack.

"Truly worthy of a transmuted Dao Comprehension realm."

Lu Chen's expression changed; the realm tempered by lightning tribulation is different.

But this was also within his expectations.

In the next moment, black qi surged around him, and Lu Huoyan's figure appeared.

"Black Hell Sword Canon!"

Instantly, the black qi swept up, enveloping Youhuang within it.

"What is this?"

Youhuang's expression shifted slightly.

He had intended to casually shatter the black qi, but he discovered this black qi was strangely abnormal.

"This black qi can actually absorb life force, and even affect consciousness, influencing the release of killing aura?"

"With such a cultivation technique, letting you practice it is truly a waste of heavenly treasure."

"Rest assured, once I deal with you, I will help you make this technique famous throughout the Ink Realm, and even the entire Supreme Mystery New Realm."

Youhuang's voice echoed within the black qi, carrying a teasing laugh that reached Lu Chen's ears.

"Master, hold on; I still need about sixty breaths of time!"

Listening to Huang Jingxuan's voice transmission, Lu Chen's expression eased slightly.

He was confident in the Black Hell Sword Canon's ability to bind enemies.

At the very least, trapping the opponent for thirty breaths poses no problem.

"Give him some extra!"

As Youhuang tried to break free of the Black Hell, Lu Chen took out the Nine Infant Poison Fang he had previously obtained from Luan Yue from his storage bag.

He blended its poison into his own killing aura and sent it into the Black Hell.

Having done that, he did not pause his actions; he immediately went to the three elders' side to help.

He summoned the demonic sword, and Lu Huoyan's figure gradually appeared.

"Huoyan, help me break this soul banner!"

"Yes!"

Lu Huoyan's body trembled slightly; she formed hand seals, transforming into dozens of blood spirit swords that formed a sword curtain aimed at the soul banner.

"Break!"

With a simultaneous shout from Lu Chen and Lu Huoyan, the sword curtain instantly tore open a rift in the deathly aura released by the soul banner.

The three elders, who had been deeply trapped and unable to move, were finally able to catch their breath for a moment.

They hastily withdrew from the soul banner's range and stared at Lu Chen before them with shocked expressions.

They had thought Lu Chen might be strong.

But they never expected that Lu Chen, with his early Concentration Spirit cultivation, could rival a Cave Heaven Perfection cultivator.

That is a full two major realms apart.

"He's truly a variable, after all."

The three exclaimed in unison.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly spoke:

"You go take Lin Qingxi and the two others and leave first."

"I'll hold him off."

Originally, it should have been the three elders helping to hold him off, allowing Lu Chen to escape.

But now, the positions have been swapped.

After witnessing Lu Chen's strength, the three said nothing more and immediately agreed.

And at this moment, Youhuang finally broke free of the Black Hell.

"I'm growing fonder of this technique; once I kill you, I must study it thoroughly......"
