Chapter 32

"One move seriously wounded a Pill Formation early-stage?! This is the strength that should only be possessed by a late Foundation Establishment?!"

"Did you all see that phantom? When I look at it, I feel my legs go weak, as if there's a fear etched into my bones?!"

Lu Chen's strike deeply etched itself into the hearts of many disciples.

Even many people secretly vowed in their hearts that they must achieve such accomplishments in their lifetime.

At this moment, not only Wang Lan, but also the faces of Blood No Shadow and several others changed simultaneously.

Seeing this scene, many people frantically formed hand seals, unleashing countless demonic arts, but a large part of them, due to the heavenly demon's pressure, could not be unleashed at all!

"What exactly is this pressure?! Why can it suppress the circulation of techniques?!!!"

Blood No Shadow clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were filled with utter disbelief.

The technique he cultivated has always been overbearing to the extreme, and from beginning to end, he had never encountered a more overbearing technique.

But at this moment, he seemed to have encountered his natural-born nemesis, and under this pressure, his internal spirit and slaughter qi actually kept dissipating!!

Behind him, Wang Lan's face turned even darker; if it weren't for him desperately unleashing demonic arts to maintain his body, he would have already fainted by now.

"This is absolutely impossible! The position of Holy Son must be mine!"

Wang Lan let out an angry roar, then took out several special pills from his storage bag.

At the same time, he drew out the little essence blood left in his body and forcibly activated some secret technique under the pressure.

"Blood Demon Dissolution Method!!"

In an instant, his figure suddenly swelled several times, and dense ancient runes appeared on his skin.

And his aura also briefly broke through the pressure's suppression.

"The trump card given by the envoy... I had planned to use it only when finally killing Blood No Shadow......"

"Lu Chen!! I want you to die!!!" Wang Lan's eyes turned red, and he roared with a heart-rending scream.

The next moment, Wang Lan's originally severed hands regrew again.

Then, his body moved, and he fiercely punched toward Lu Chen.

"Still have trump cards?!" Lu Chen, facing the opponent's resistance, actually showed more excitement on his face.

"Boom——!!!"

Wang Lan's punch was thrown, but it missed as Lu Chen dodged.

The ground was smashed into a deep pit several zhang in depth, shattered stones flew everywhere, hitting the formation and causing ripples of spiritual power.

"Too slow!" Lu Chen's figure had already arrived behind him, and his voice echoed faintly.

Hearing the sound, Wang Lan's pupils contracted, and a fear from the depths of his soul arose.

Before he could turn around, he felt a terrifying gust of wind attack!

"Bang!!!"

Lu Chen similarly threw a punch.

Wang Lan's entire body instantly flew backward, directly crashing into the formation barrier.

This strike caused the barrier to violently tremble, actually giving a faint feeling of collapse.

"Hiss——————?!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone present, including many elders, the envoy, and the Qing Luo Sect Master, all sucked in a breath of cold air.

"What kind of terrifying power is this?!"

"Wang Lan's aura, after using the Blood Demon Dissolution Method, had already reached the mid-Pill Formation stage, yet he was still crushed by Lu Chen, a late Foundation Establishment?!"

"Wrong! The spiritual energy on Lu Chen's body is still so abundant?!"

"The technique just now and these two attacks—did he not consume anything at all?!!!"

Among them, many female disciples had their hearts stirred.

"Senior Brother Lu... so handsome!!"

"This is what a true genius looks like!! Soaked!! My eye sockets are wet!!"

"I really want to become his dual cultivation partner; even if not, being his slave would be fine too!!!!"

At the edge of the venue, Mei Qianxue listened to these disciples' voices, and a complex expression flashed across her face.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and her heartbeat quickened by a few beats.

At this time, Du Gu Ming came to the edge of the formation, confirmed that Wang Lan had lost his combat ability.

After asking the sect master for instructions, his face turned gloomy and cold as he led Wang Lan out of the formation.

In the center of the venue, Lu Chen watched Wang Lan being taken away, then turned his gaze toward Blood No Shadow and the others.

"Come again!"

He had already decided earlier to fight quickly and decisively, so naturally he wouldn't give others time to rest.

Soon, his figure surged violently, once again like an arrow leaving the bow, straight stabbing toward Blood No Shadow.

Suddenly, Blood No Shadow clutched his chest, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"It's you who forced me..."

He quietly crushed a special jade slip hidden in his bosom, and instantly, a strange fluctuation spread out.

"Huh?!" Obviously, Lu Chen sensed something, but before he could think further, the square ground suddenly cracked open.

"Boom!"

Several blood pillars shot up into the sky, intertwining in midair into a cage, instantly enveloping him.

"This is... the Blood Prison Formation?!" Gu Xiangxiang, beside him, saw the blood pillars and furrowed her brows.

"Blood No Shadow! You dare to use this formation! Do you really want to refine Lu Chen?!"

Gu Xiangxiang said this, immediately came to the edge of the great formation, and tried to break it with her techniques.

"Hahaha!! So what? The envoy said earlier that this grand competition has no restrictions, everything can be freely expressed!"

"Even if I really refined him, so what?!"

Outside the formation, seeing this scene, Su Qian became anxious.

She immediately went before the sect master to request ending the grand competition.

But before she could speak, she discovered that Lu Chen's side had another reversal.

【Detected host is within the Blood Prison Grand Formation, automatically triggering reversal!】

【Original effect: Within the Blood Prison Grand Formation, if unable to break the formation within a quarter hour, the soul will contract! If time reaches two quarter hours or more, the physical body will be refined! The soul will also dissipate!】

【Reversal effect: Within the Blood Prison Grand Formation, every quarter hour will automatically absorb the formation's essence once! If time reaches two quarter hours or more, the physical body will be strengthened!】

Hearing the system's prompt, Lu Chen, who had intended to break the formation, stopped his hand.

He looked toward Su Qian outside the formation and said:

"Master! No need to pause! I'm fine."

After speaking, he turned to Blood Wuying: "Senior Brother, thank you for your generous gift—I will enjoy it to the fullest!"

"Arrogant!" Blood Wuying, hearing this, laughed furiously, immediately resumed pinching seals to accelerate Lu Chen's refinement: "Refine him for me!"

The Blood Prison Grand Formation instantly flashed red light, countless chains emerged from the blood pillars and surged toward Lu Chen.

However, these chains, upon contacting Lu Chen's body, mysteriously vanished at that instant.

Moreover, at that moment, Lu Chen's aura became even stronger.

"This?! How is this possible?!"

Blood Wuying's face drastically changed—this situation had already surpassed his comprehension.

Seeing Lu Chen unharmed, Gu Xiangxiang and Su Qian, Gu Xiaoxiao, and others outside the field relaxed their worried hearts.

Even if Blood Wuying tried to accelerate the refinement again, the grand formation could not move Lu Chen in the slightest.

This scene caused the Grand Elder outside the field to have a grim expression.

"Just what monster is this brat! Even the Blood Prison Grand Formation can't do anything to him?!"
