On the surface, Lu Chen appeared calm, but inside he was experiencing significant turmoil, even feeling a sense of sadness and an impulse to cry without tears.
Just now, he had acted out of goodwill, wanting to save Chu Yuzhu, but unexpectedly found himself being set up. In the face of absolute interests, even someone like Chu Yuzhu could join forces with the Three Poisons Wanderer against him; human hearts truly are treacherous.
"Forget it, I, Lu Chen, misjudged the situation. I will remember this loss," Lu Chen glanced at the people across from him: Chu Yuzhu, Huang Jiao, and the Three Poisons Wanderer.
"You, Lu, stop pretending to be noble. You're just as bad as the rest; do you think you're anything special?" Zhao Centipede shouted at Lu Chen.
"Hehehe."
Lu Chen felt a cold laugh inside him, sensing a bit of desolation. If this were in the past, he would have had to endure it, biting his teeth and swallowing his anger or leaving quietly.
But now, things were different; he had the strength to fight back.
"Centipede Brother, why waste time talking to him? Let's quickly deal with him and take back my green item," Lu Chanchu urged from the side. Her green item was still with Lu Chen, making her very anxious and impatient. Given their understanding of Lu Chen, they knew he wouldn't easily return it to them; thus, they had no choice but to resort to force—killing Lu Chen would solve everything.
With that thought, they understood each other. The closest one to Lu Chen, Zhao Centipede, took the lead in attacking. The tall Flesh leaped forward suddenly and swung a powerful punch downwards.
This time Zhao Centipede had learned his lesson; he decided to use Qigong Martial Arts against Lu Chen in close combat instead of relying on Yin Spirit Disembodiment spells. Lu Chen possessed a formidable treasure that could absorb a person's Flesh—something Zhao Centipede had experienced firsthand last time when he fell victim to it.
Using Qigong was different; in close combat, if Lu Chen dared to use that treasure recklessly or attempted to hide using Disembodiment, Zhao Centipede was confident he could shatter Lu Chen's Flesh before he could activate Disembodiment.
Zhao Centipede's fist came crashing down with a sharp sound that sliced through the air directly towards Lu Chen's face.
Lu Chen did not dodge; his Flesh trembled as he raised his iron fist to meet it. The two fists collided mid-air in a fierce clash.
"Bang"
Lu Chen felt a surge of anger in his heart, so he used ninety-five percent of his strength to send Zhao Centipede flying. Zhao Centipede's Qigong cultivation had not yet reached the level of Divine Power Body, and even compared to Huang Jiao, he was lacking.
Huang Jiao was specialized in martial arts and had considerable skill in Qigong, unlike Zhao Centipede, who was a dual practitioner of life and martial arts.
After forcing Zhao Centipede back with a punch, Lu Chen stepped onto the Seven Stars and advanced forward with a serpentine movement, lunging at Zhao Centipede.
Soon, all three Poisons Wanderers joined the fray. Even Chu Yuzhu and Huang Jiao entered the battle, surrounding Lu Chen in the center.
Lu Chen's body swiftly maneuvered among the five. At this moment, his agility was far beyond what it used to be. His Qigong cultivation was close to Divine Power Body, and with the Supreme Garment and the Essence Sphere left by Ye Nanzhai, he could easily contend with a master of Divine Power Body.
Especially after training in Jun Bell, his Flesh refinement was not something ordinary people could endure. The level of cruelty was akin to an average person being bound with a hundred-pound lead weight; the results of such training were evident.
Among the five opponents, only Huang Jiao and Zhao Centipede had higher Qigong cultivation.
Huang Jiao practiced the Crazy Serpent Seven Star Classic, which was well-known but had already been defeated by Lu Chen. As for Zhao Centipede, he employed a set of techniques called Phantom Fist Technique and Twelve Paths of Kicking.
In his youth, Zhao Centipede was once the leader of a sect called Phantom Gate. However, after Phantom Gate was destroyed, he teamed up with Yellow Scorpion Master and Lu Chanchu to venture out to sea and began cultivating poison techniques on Shark Island. They were known as the Three Poisons Wanderers in public.
Zhao Centipede's Phantom Fist Technique and Twelve Paths of Kicking were not entirely without merit; they had certain characteristics. The Phantom Fist Technique produced Fist Shadows upon striking.
However, this Fist Technique did not break through to the mysterious realm of Qigong Martial Arts; rather, it was inherently like that within the Fist Technique itself. There were some differences from true Fist Shadows, but they were also quite similar. If one could produce Fist Shadows, then they would have mastered the Phantom Fist Technique.
The Twelve Paths of Kicking was also a technique from Phantom Gate that focused on powerful kicks, strikes, glares, and stomps as primary offensive moves. It required exceptionally high leg skill that most people could not execute.
However, since joining the Three Poisons Wanderers, Zhao Centipede had neglected martial arts and failed to further elevate his Phantom Fist Technique and Twelve Paths of Kicking. He became stagnant and self-destructive, which limited him to this level.
Compared to Yellow Scorpion Master, Lu Chanchu, and Chu Yuzhu, Zhao Centipede and Huang Jiao could only be considered slightly better; they were no match for Lu Chen in a one-on-one fight.
Lu Chen swiftly maneuvered among the five, while Flesh leaped up and down, advancing left and right, occasionally executing sweeping kicks that struck at all five opponents.
With both fists raised, Lu Chen engaged in a fierce exchange of blows with the five iron fists opposite him. Flesh trembled and was pushed back, immediately rolling on the ground and crawling.
Letting out a wild roar, Lu Chen seemed possessed by an ancient Ape Demon. He swung his long arms, causing Flesh to leap high into the crowd.
Lu Chen's arms were long and powerful, resembling those of a monkey, moving with great force. His palms spread wide, revealing long fingers that looked like two grinding wheels pressing down.
Facing five opponents simultaneously, Lu Chen unleashed his internal energy fully. His techniques were infused with the powerful roars of the Ape Demon, Tiger Demon, Deer Demon, Bear Demon, and Crane Demon, creating a ferocious display.
Suddenly, as if they had coordinated their attack, the five launched their assault on Lu Chen from all directions.
With a powerful sweep of his hand, Lu Chen released a surge of internal energy that directly pushed the five away.
On the opposite side, Zhao Centipede sprang into action, executing the Twelve Paths of Kicking. He stabilized himself first and then let out a loud roar as he counterattacked.
"Bang bang bang!"
Zhao Centipede unleashed dozens of Fist Shadows, rapidly attacking Lu Chen. His fists struck like heavy hammers, creating a deep sound as they cut through the air.
In response, Lu Chen bit down like a Steel Tooth, advancing rather than retreating. With a spin from Flesh, he swung his long arm down towards Zhao Centipede.
Roar roar roar!
As Lu Chen moved, beastly roars echoed around him, shaking the ground. With both arms extended, his long limbs attacked from above and below—pushing, pulling, swinging, smashing, and bouncing—creating an unpredictable rhythm that prevented Zhao Centipede from closing in.
In the blink of an eye, the other four regained their breath and immediately charged forward, attacking in unison.
Lu Chen let out a roar and executed the Bear Demon Push Mountain, forcefully pushing the five away. Seizing the opportunity, he performed the Fairy Leap, leaping high into the air and landing on a large tree fork nearby.
With a bounce from the tree fork, Lu Chen leaped again. This repeated jumping allowed him to ascend quickly, and in no time, he was thirty to forty feet above the ground, leaving everyone far behind.
Standing upright on the tree fork, Lu Chen looked down at the five below with a cold expression, not even breathing heavily. His stamina had already been fully restored by the Supreme Garment and Essence Sphere.
"Get down here, you little brat!"
Seeing Lu Chen up in the tree, Zhao Centipede was furious. Just moments ago, Lu Chen's agility had been too strange; he could jump three or four lengths high from a standstill. Such agility was beyond Zhao Centipede's capabilities—he wasn't a monkey and wouldn't easily climb trees.
The five below felt similarly; seeing Lu Chen in the tree left them helplessly staring up. It wasn't that they didn't want to capture him; it was just that none of them had the ability to do so. If they tried to jump up, their legs wouldn't hold them steady enough to land properly.
A tree fork was only so big; without excellent balance and strength, it was impossible to stand firm.
"Come down! Hurry up and get down! Climbing a tree doesn't make you a hero!" Yellow Scorpion Master shouted angrily from the side.
Lu Chen stood on the tree fork, looking down with a smirk and said, "A hero? You five are ganging up on me alone; what kind of heroes are you?"
"Come down! You come down first, and we'll have a fair fight," Zhao Centipede shouted, pointing at him.
"Hmph, Zhao Centipede, how dare you talk about fairness? What are you scheming? Do you think I don't know? I'm not afraid of you. If this drags on, you won't be my match. In the end, who will win is still uncertain," Lu Chen replied.
"Then come down! Whatever it is, come down first," Zhao Centipede continued. At this moment, he wished he could sprout wings and fly up to drag Lu Chen down.
"If you don't come down, let's see how long you can stay up there. You can't even return to Flowing Wave Island Camp anymore; it's already being monitored by our people."
"No matter where you run, we will hunt you down to the end."
Lu Chen let out a breath and said disdainfully, "I can't be bothered to talk to you. You can play here by yourselves!"
With that, Lu Chen offered Flesh to Jun Bell, and immediately, Yin Spirit transformed into a bolt of lightning, illuminating the night as it shot away.
Only Zhao Centipede and the others remained, staring at the empty branches. Lu Chen had just been there, but now, only a single swaying branch was left.
The Three Poisons Wanderer and the others exchanged glances. They couldn't climb the tree and had no ability to fly, so they were helpless, merely staring in frustration and sighing repeatedly.
Lu Chen flew out for several dozen miles when suddenly a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, piercing into a nearby dense forest.
This forest was very tall, with thick leaves that completely covered the sky. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, making a loud rustling sound when stepped on. There was a pungent smell of decay in the air.
Lu Chen landed in the forest, placed Flesh on the decaying leaves, then returned Yin Spirit to his body. He shook his head as his feet sank into the thick layer of dead leaves and took a few steps forward.
