892. Chapter 890: Utterly Absurd

If he hadn't taken the pill he had refined earlier in time, he would have already died.

Thinking of this grudge, Lu Yuan's eyes instantly blazed with furious fire!

……

Night fell, and Lu Yuan set up camp right there in the wilderness.

The bonfire rose, the aroma of grilled meat wafted about, making mouths water.

Lu Yuan ate and drank his fill, leaned against the wooden bed, and silently began to calculate his cultivation matters.

"Since the last failed attempt to break through the bottleneck, three months have already passed; it's time to try again."

As he muttered quietly, Lu Yuan prepared to close his eyes and sit still, entering a cultivation state.

But just then, a sudden sharp cry came from outside the tent! "What sound?"

Lu Yuan's eyes snapped open, his face drastically changed! He quickly dressed, left the tent, and in a blink darted several hundred zhang away, rushing toward the nearby woods.

Using the dim yellow moonlight, he saw in the distance a giant eagle hovering midair, wildly screeching, its feathers standing up like blades.

Beneath that giant eagle stood a young martial artist! It was none other than Su Chen, whom he had crossed blades with before! "Hiss! How could it be him?" Lu Yuan's pupils contracted, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Although Su Chen's strength couldn't compare to his, at this moment Su Chen gave him a strong sense of danger, making his heart tremble! "How did this brat come here?" A thought flashed through Lu Yuan's mind.

But just then, Su Chen suddenly threw a punch, heading straight to bombard the giant eagle.

Roar! Accompanied by a beast's roar, the giant eagle spread its wings and flew, quickly disappearing into the depths of the high sky.

"No matter what, he definitely harbors ill intent; we must keep close to him!"

Lu Yuan's face sank, and he stepped through the void to pursue.

……

Whoosh whoosh whoosh……

Almost in the next moment, several arrows tore through the air, straight toward Su Chen's position.

The arrows cut through the wind, carrying strong force as they struck the cliff.

"Huh?" Su Chen's stance paused, and he immediately stopped.

He turned his head to look, only to see three silver-robed figures standing proudly in the dense forest.

Of these two, he was very familiar with—they were Liu Wenyuan and Wu Yanfeng, whom he had crossed blades with outside the City Lord's Mansion before! The other gray-robed old man was short and stocky, with a withered complexion, his entire body adorned with extremely luxurious decorations.

This person was none other than the Seventh Prince of the Canglan Royal Clan, Jiang Tian's cousin—Jiang Lin! "I never expected to run into someone from the Jiang family in this desolate place!"

A sharp glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and a hint of indifference appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that Jiang Lin and his companions also came for that thing.

Su Chen lifted his gaze to the midair, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph! Even if you know our movements, what of it? You simply cannot possibly seize that thing."

Jiang Lin gave a cold shout, his face showing an arrogant expression.

They also have another mission to accomplish on this trip.

Therefore, they absolutely will not allow anyone to lay a hand on it.

"Jiang Lin, cut the nonsense, let's just get moving." Liu Wenyuan frowned, urging him, his eyes full of urgency.

"Exactly! This brat is full of tricks; we must absolutely not let him escape!"

Wu Yanfeng said through gritted teeth, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

In the duel outside the City Lord's Mansion that day, both lost to Su Chen, and this score has always weighed on his mind.

Moreover, he now understands that the Jiang royal clan is currently issuing a warrant for Su Chen's arrest; if they let him escape, it will trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

Therefore, in this battle, no matter what, they must go all out to secure victory.

As long as they eliminate Su Chen, they can achieve their goal and retreat, even completing some royal tasks to earn rich rewards.

Only a fool would refuse such a sweet deal!

"Jiang Lin, are you sure you want to kill me?"

Looking at the cold gazes of Jiang Lin and Liu Wenyuan, Su Chen shook his head and sneered. "Hmph! Brat, at this point, do you think you still have the qualifications to bargain?" Jiang Lin shook his head and coldly rebuked.

"Not bad! Your life is ours today!" Liu Wenyuan laughed wickedly without cease.

The two spoke while launching their attacks, as if eager to take Su Chen's life.

"Hahaha! What an idiot!"

Hearing the duo's arrogant and overbearing words, Su Chen's long-suppressed laughter finally burst out, and he burst into loud laughter.

"Huh?"

"You… what are you laughing at?"

Jiang Lin and Liu Wenyuan's faces sank upon hearing that, and they couldn't help but stare blankly.

"Brother Lu Yuan, if you don't make a move now, I'm afraid I really won't be able to survive." Su Chen said with a sigh.

"What?"

Upon hearing that, Jiang Lin and Liu Wenyuan's faces both stiffened slightly.

"You little brat! At this point, you still dare to play tricks?" Liu Wenyuan shouted in violent anger.

"Liu Wenyuan, I advise you not to be deceived!" Jiang Lin said with a cold snort.

"What do you mean?" Liu Wenyuan frowned tightly.

"This brat is just playing mysterious, clearly trying to buy time!" Jiang Lin said in a low voice.

"Oh? I see now!"

Liu Wenyuan's brow lifted, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile: "Since that's the case, I'll kill him first, then slowly torture you!"

Boom—! Liu Wenyuan's aura surged violently, and he thrust his sharp sword forward.

"Be careful!" Jiang Lin's face changed, and he shouted a warning.

He knew that Liu Wenyuan's Jiànshù was extremely fierce and vicious; once thrust, it could often kill the opponent within a hair's breadth! But Su Chen seemed not to have heard, still standing motionless on the spot!

"Kid, prepare to die!"

Liu Wenyuan gave a sinister laugh, and his arm suddenly exerted force.

Boom! The sharp sword burst forth with a terrifying aura, instantly piercing Su Chen's chest.

Puh! Su Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, let out a miserable cry, and collapsed to the ground.

"Hmph!" Liu Wenyuan snorted coldly, not stopping his hand, continuing to wave his long sword thrusting at the opponent's throat.

At the critical moment, Lu Yuan made a move.

Boom! A dazzling blue light suddenly flared, enveloping his body, forcing Liu Wenyuan to hastily retreat.

"Liu Wenyuan, retreat quickly!"

Jiang Lin's brows furrowed deeply, his face unusually solemn.

He felt unable to withstand that surge of spiritual power just now.

If it weren't for his cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Body, whose physical strength is extraordinary, any other cultivator of the same rank would have already died on the spot.

Liu Wenyuan was startled upon hearing that, although he still hadn't discerned the other's details, but Jiang Lin, after all, was the Ninth Young Master, and would never speak recklessly.

"Hmph! Even if you're strong, trying to rescue someone from our encirclement is pure fantasy!"

Jiang Lin's gaze turned grim, his aura surged, and he was ready to strike.

"Jiang Lin, Liu Wenyuan, you overestimate your strength!"

A somewhat desolate low shout suddenly entered their ears, causing Jiang Lin and Liu Wenyuan to frown tightly.

"Who is it?" Liu Wenyuan's face turned dark, his eyes flashing with intense apprehension.

"Hmph! You don't need to know; just keep quiet!"

Boom! As the low voice sounded, a mighty surge of spiritual power instantly swept across the canyon.

Jiang Lin and Liu Wenyuan's bodies shook violently, unable to breathe under the sudden spiritual power's suppression! Bang! At the same time, a tremendous pressure suddenly descended upon Jiang Lin's head. (End of chapter)
