Lu Chen casually took out the Spirit Talisman issued to disciples by the Five Element Sect from his pocket and rubbed it a couple of times in front of Zhao Centipede. This Spirit Talisman only needed to be infused with Yang Yuan to ignite and summon the Young Sovereign, meant to be used by disciples only in absolute crises.
Compared to other sects, the Five Element Sect did quite well, prioritizing the safety and lives of its disciples, which was very humane.
The authenticity of the Spirit Talisman that Lu Chen took out was beyond doubt, but Zhao Centipede's reaction was completely opposite to what Lu Chen had anticipated.
Zhao Centipede was momentarily stunned, then suddenly seemed to remember something, erupting in fury as he shouted, "You little brat, you think you can deceive me? You don't understand the significance of severing emotions in cultivation at all. How dare you use the relationship between Azure Field Matriarch and Yin Boqing to mock me. That lunatic Yin would never take you as a disciple; I see you're tired of living."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen wondered why Zhao Centipede did not believe he was Yin Boqing's disciple. He didn't fully understand what severing emotions in cultivation meant; from its literal meaning, it seemed to imply cutting off attachments and focusing solely on the path.
Having emotions leads to distractions that hinder cultivation, especially for a Yin Master. The nature of a Yin Master requires constant effort to sense the earth and contemplate creation.
Being able to sever all attachments and eliminate distractions would undoubtedly make cultivation purer and smoother.
But one must ask, how many people can truly sever all distractions? Such individuals are extremely rare; even the Supreme Master Taihuang of the Five Element Sect cannot achieve this.
However, Lu Chen's experiences were real; he did not doubt that Yin Boqing had accepted him as a disciple. During their brief encounter, Lu Chen had witnessed Yin Boqing's divine skills firsthand. He had blended the five elements and demonstrated his own creation, the Five Elements Calamity Scripture. The thrilling scenes were deeply etched in his memory and could not possibly be false.
Yet at this point, he had nothing else to prove himself.
Zhao Centipede bellowed, "Hand over the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad immediately! I will spare your life; otherwise, you will never leave here."
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and tightly clutched the black cloth bag hanging at his waist, wary as he replied, "Handing over the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad is out of the question. If I refuse to give it up, are you planning to forcefully take it from me?"
No matter what happened, Lu Chen had never considered giving up what he had obtained, especially since the other party was the notorious Three Poisons Wanderer. He could not allow this person to use the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad for harmful purposes.
Lu Chen couldn't help but take a step back. Zhao Centipede was convinced that Lu Chen had killed his precious treasure and insisted on compensation with the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad. It seemed that without shedding some blood today, it would be difficult for him to escape from Zhao Centipede's grasp.
The atmosphere grew tense as Lu Chen prepared to summon his Demon-Slaying Sword to ambush Zhao Centipede's Yin Spirit; he believed that striking first would give him an advantage.
Just then, two figures in the distance were approaching. The two individuals moved in unison, maintaining their formation, and it seemed they were carrying something together.
Lu Chen focused his gaze and was surprised to see it was the Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu. What they were carrying was none other than Zhao Centipede's Flesh. Each of them held an arm of Zhao Centipede's Flesh, lifting it as they ran without losing speed.
Well, the Three Poisons Wanderer has arrived!
Zhao Centipede had reinforcements, and he coldly smiled at Lu Chen, saying, "You little rascal, are you not going to surrender? Hand over the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad, and I might spare your life. If you dare to resist further, I will have no choice but to take you back to Shark Island to use as a test subject for my poisons."
Those who enjoy using poison often like to experiment on living creatures with their newly developed toxins. Zhao Centipede intended to capture Lu Chen and use him as a test subject.
The Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu stopped at a distance, glancing at Lu Chen, feeling he looked very familiar. Earlier, when Zhao Centipede and Yin Spirit were fighting Ye Nanzhai high above in the Mountain Valley, they hadn’t paid much attention to Lu Chen. However, the Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu had been on the ground and clearly saw Lu Chen assisting the Red Robe Sect in slaughtering the Alliance Army.
If it were an ordinary person, they would not catch the attention of the Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu. However, Lu Chen's performance was remarkable; wielding his Dual Blades with overwhelming power, he created a deadly zone within five steps where no one dared to approach.
Thus, they had noticed Lu Chen earlier. But soon after, they lost track of him and did not expect to encounter him here again.
The Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu kept a distance of about thirty steps to protect Zhao Centipede's Flesh and did not dare to get too close.
"Centipede Brother, stop wasting time with this little rascal. I see he is cunning and full of tricks; just kill him," the Yellow Scorpion Master said with narrowed eyes, speaking loudly to Zhao Centipede.
Lu Chanchu nodded with a wrinkled face and added, "Indeed, this one is suspicious. Clearly a disciple of the Five Element Sect yet turning against our Alliance Army. There must be some trickery involved; when we meet the Young Sovereign, we must report this."
The Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu seemed unaware that the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad was currently with Lu Chen; if they knew, it’s likely that the first one to attack would be the Yellow Scorpion Master.
Zhao Centipede's expression turned cold as he activated his Yin Yuan. With a wave of his hands, he unleashed a blood shadow resembling a cluster of vines, thick as a barrel, charging towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen stepped back a few paces, his eyes narrowing. He initially intended to use a Spirit Talisman to summon the Young Sovereign; doing so now would be reasonable and not out of line. However, he feared that if the Young Sovereign arrived and confronted the Three Poisons Wanderer, all his secrets would be exposed with unimaginable consequences.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided against it. Gritting his teeth, Lu Chen executed Fairy Leap, jumping high into the air to evade Zhao Centipede's attack.
Zhao Centipede was slightly surprised, wondering where Lu Chen had learned such strange skills. He was able to jump straight up from the ground, reaching such a height. His first impression was that it resembled the Fairy Leap of the Yue Family from Giant Barbarian Island.
As Zhao Centipede watched in astonishment, Lu Chen spun in mid-air like a carp, and by the time he flipped over, he had already drawn a gleaming sword in his hand.
Earlier, he had taken advantage of Zhao Centipede's turned back to summon the Demon-Slaying Sword from Jun Bell, a sword capable of slaying Yin Spirits.
Before Lu Chen landed, he gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword with one hand and swung it fiercely, using the power of the Giant Throwing Stick to launch the sword forward.
Zhao Centipede felt a blinding cold light; in that instant, the Demon-Slaying Sword shot towards him like a venomous snake, hissing as it pierced through the air directly at him.
Zhao Centipede snorted coldly, waving his hands to condense a round cluster of blood shadows in front of his chest. It seemed to possess a devouring power that instantly absorbed the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Then he waved his palms, executing various spells to manipulate the blood shadows and deflect the impact of the Demon-Slaying Sword in mid-air.
"Just a trick," Zhao Centipede said after a brief moment, effortlessly grasping the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, appearing completely unfazed as if it required no effort at all.
Lu Chen was taken aback; Zhao Centipede was too powerful. His Yin True Cultivation had nearly reached the peak of Manifestation of the Dharma Body, making him an opponent Lu Chen could not contend with. According to the rotational force of the Giant Throwing Stick, the Demon-Slaying Sword should have returned to him, but now it had not only failed to come back but had also been taken by Zhao Centipede.
Zhao Centipede held the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, grinning wickedly at Lu Chen as if to say he was eager to see what other tricks Lu Chen had up his sleeve.
With a sudden realization, Lu Chen shouted in alarm. The Demon-Slaying Sword was a gift from Sun Zizhao and could slay Yin Spirits. For Lu Chen, it was not just a sword; it held immense sentimental value due to their friendship.
Now that Zhao Centipede had taken the Demon-Slaying Sword, what could he do? When he next saw Sun Zizhao, how could he explain? Lu Chen felt panic rising within him.
"Give me back my sword!"
Lu Chen shouted furiously and immediately summoned Jun Bell, using Rift Spell to fully open its mouth and attempt to devour Zhao Centipede and his companions.
In an instant, a terrifying force of absorption erupted from Jun Bell, enveloping an area within three hundred steps.
Lu Chen, in order to ensure that his Flesh would not be sucked in, had no choice but to use the Rift Spell to tear apart the space around his Flesh while simultaneously using the Healing Void Spell to mend it. This process needed to be completed in an extremely short amount of time, continuously tearing and mending, which would create a temporal distortion that just happened to protect him.
On the other hand, Zhao Centipede's situation was different. The Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu were unable to control their Flesh because they were too close. They both realized they were enveloped by a terrifying aura and suddenly reacted, sensing danger, and immediately began to retreat.
However, Zhao Centipede's Flesh, which was sitting on the ground, was in dire straits. It flew into the air like a rock, maintaining a seated posture, and was directly sucked into Jun Bell.
"Ah? My Flesh!" Zhao Centipede shouted in shock and anger; he had never expected that Lu Chen possessed such a terrifying thing.
But there was something else that infuriated Zhao Centipede even more: the actions of the Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu. When faced with danger, they had run away without a care for his Flesh. If it hadn't been for their reckless decision to send out his Flying Centipede for an ambush earlier, his Flying Centipede would not have died.
At this moment, Zhao Centipede was both furious and enraged but remained silent.
"Zhao Centipede, you better not come any closer. If you take another step forward, I will split your Flesh in two," Lu Chen shouted loudly as he drew an enormous dark sword from Jun Bell.
He was not joking; if Zhao Centipede dared to approach, he would indeed use this black sword to cut Zhao Centipede's Flesh.
Although Lu Chen had used Jun Bell to devour Zhao Centipede's Flesh, Jun Bell did not affect Yin Spirit, so at this moment, Zhao Centipede's Yin Spirit was still free.
