Chapter 183: Magic Shadow Escape

The shop assistant chattered on and on.

Yet this person did not say a word; regardless of how the assistant exhausted his tongue, he did not even blink, pretending to walk around in a circle before intentionally moving closer to Lu Tianyu.

The green-clad boy was none other than Luo Chen in disguise; he had spent these days acting as a medicine-refining boy just waiting for Lu Tianyu to appear.

His ideal plan for a sneak attack was for Gui Sheng Xie Yi to bring Lu Tianyu to refine medicine, so he could suddenly strike to kill Lu Tianyu and then escape.

Because he had observed that Gui Shen Xie Yi was only at the peak of the Void Hollow Stage and had not yet recovered to the Great Vehicle Stage.

With the help of Mo Sha Di Zun, and given that Gui Sheng Xie Yi was off guard, he could succeed in a sneak attack.

Then he would use the Magic Shadow Escape he had prepared in advance to flee.

Unfortunately, Lu Tianyu had not arrived for a long time; he was somewhat anxious but still kept his composure.

Now that he had returned, he was with that big fat man at the Great Vehicle Stage; he felt that Lu Tianyu must have joined the big fat man's sect.

With the protection of the big fat man, his chance to kill Lu Tianyu would be very difficult.

But he never expected the big fat man to go inside and not come out, while Lu Tianyu came out all by himself, acting nonchalant—this was Heaven giving him a chance!

How could Luo Chen let go of this opportunity for a sneak attack?

Lu Tianyu suddenly stopped his pace and looked at Luo Chen, saying indifferently: "He is not here to buy things; he is here for me."

He looked at Luo Chen with a half-smile: "You are actually disguised as a medicine-refining boy; you have truly surprised me greatly."

"Stop pretending, reveal your true face; you cannot escape!"

"I don't know what you are talking about?"

Luo Chen was slightly stunned for a moment: "You recognize me? I am a medicine-refining boy, here to run errands and buy things for Senior Gui Sheng Xie Yi?"

A trace of imperceptible coldness appeared in the corner of his eyes as he slowly approached Lu Tianyu: "Even if you want to pay respects to Senior Gui Sheng Xie Yi, you don't have to use this method, right?"

"Kid, what exactly is your intention!"

One step, two steps, three steps, he was close!

Luo Chen suddenly raised his sleeve and shouted: "Sleeve Universe, suppress him for me!"

Hum!

An extremely massive, evil pressure erupted from his sleeve, rushing toward Lu Tianyu like a mountain toppling and the sea overturning.

At the same time, with the Xuanqing Sword in hand, he stabbed toward Lu Tianyu's heart.

His original plan was to use the aura of Mo Sha Di Zun to freeze Lu Tianyu, and then he could easily take Lu Tianyu's life with his own strike.

It was just that his calculations were destined to fail; Lu Tianyu was not afraid of soul pressure at all.

He raised his hand and slapped the Xuanqing Sword, then punched toward Luo Chen's face: "Let me see who you really are!"

Luo Chen's reaction was also extremely fast; seeing Lu Tianyu make a move, he knew it was bad—Lu Tianyu must have life-saving means and was not afraid of the soul pressure of the Great Vehicle Stage.

He dodged Lu Tianyu's attack with a sidestep.

He scolded angrily: "I admit you have some skills, but today you must die!"

He was about to strike again with his sword when the voice of Mo Sha Di Zun suddenly came into his mind: "Run quickly, this kid still has a backup plan, hurry!"

"It will be too late if you are any later!"

As a top-tier expert of the Demon race, Mo Sha Di Zun had an extremely keen perception of demonic objects and demonic Qi.

He had just sensed extremely strong demonic Qi hidden on Lu Tianyu's body and judged that Lu Tianyu must have a Space Treasure hiding things, so he notified Luo Chen to escape immediately.

He had not yet found a suitable host body, so he had to avoid danger immediately upon encountering it.

Any Great Vehicle Stage cultivator or Void Hollow Stage cultivator could easily wipe him out.

Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

However, he had already made his move; the Xuanqing Sword slashed out thirteen swords like flowing clouds and moving water, forcing Lu Tianyu back: "Kid, I will kill you!"

Then, with a *poof*, his body exploded and turned into a cloud of black mist to escape.

With a loud *boom*!

The four-story building of the shop was shattered by the Xuanqing Thirteen Swords before even the Restriction could be activated.

The shop assistant was left stunned on the spot, completely at a loss for what to do.

Lu Tianyu grabbed him by the collar, flew out with him, dropped a Storage Bag, and then flew away.

He wanted to track this person's trail.

But after releasing his Divine Sense to search, he found nothing.

No trace at all!

*Swish! *

A flash of golden light appeared as Cui Jinjia flew over: "What happened?"

"Did you fight with a demon?"

Her Divine Sense had been locked onto Lu Tianyu the whole time, and she did not immediately intervene when she saw Luo Chen attack.

She would only intervene if Lu Tianyu could not win.

But just as she keenly smelled the demonic Qi and was about to prepare to strike, Luo Chen had already turned into black mist and disappeared.

Looking around, he was nowhere to be found.

The Demon Dog flew onto Lu Tianyu's shoulder: "He used the Magic Shadow Escape from the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art; he is already a hundred miles away now, you can't catch him."

Lu Tianyu frowned: "This person is quite formidable; I couldn't even see through his Disguise Technique."

"He could even disguise himself as a medicine-refining boy to try and kill me; what a brilliant method."

The Demon Dog chuckled: "Of course, some of the Demon race's methods are not things you can easily see through."

"Demons are actually humans originally; they can transform at will."

"Master, don't put me back in the future; if you let me out, I can clear away these petty scoundrels for you at any time."

Just at this moment, Gui Sheng Xie Yi also arrived.

She was not far from here to begin with, and upon hearing the commotion, she sought him out immediately: "Young Master, what happened?"

She saw that Lu Tianyu's expression was grave and felt somewhat worried.

Lu Tianyu's expression returned to normal: "Someone snuck into the medical clinic disguised as a medicine-refining boy, followed me out, and attempted to assassinate me, but after I saw through them, they fled."

"This person is a demon, used a formidable Disguise Technique, and after being discovered by me, used the Magic Shadow Escape from the Heavenly Demon Disintegration to flee."

Gui Shen Xie Yi was slightly startled: "What did you say? This person is actually so bold as to disguise themselves as a medicine-refining boy and work for me right under my nose."

She furrowed her dark brows: "A few days ago, I did indeed interview a medicine-refining boy, and at the time, I only took one look before hiring them."

"This person was clever and dexterous, and I even intended to focus on cultivating them; I never expected this person to be a demon!"

Gui Sheng Xie Yi apologized with a cupped-fist salute and a bow: "I am sorry, Young Master, it was my oversight; fortunately, you recognized them, otherwise the consequences would have been grave."

"I will put down the work in my hands for now and find this person!"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she turned to leave.

This person had actually ambushed Lu Tianyu right under her nose, and it was someone she had hired herself, so she felt somewhat ashamed.

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "Divine Doctor, there is no need for that; this person's Disguise Technique is too formidable, and they cannot be recognized unless they reveal themselves voluntarily."

"It is useless for us to guard against thieves when they are in the shadows and we are in the light."

"Our Donghuang Xingyu has opened up recently, so it is inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad people, and those with ulterior motives will enter."

"It will be enough to strengthen our vigilance from now on."

Gui Shen Xie Yi nodded: "Rest assured, Young Master, I will go into seclusion now to recover my cultivation, and then I will discuss strengthening our vigilance with the City Lord."

Just then, Luo Yunshang arrived: "Yu'er, the Sect Master of Zhuoliu Xingyu, Yan Dongping, has brought Liu Qingyan and Zhang Xiaocui here; what do you think?"
