The Shark-Slaying Eight Guards were pushed back again. Lu Chen seized the opportunity and used the same tactic once more, executing a Whirlwind Slash to break through.
The result was the same as before; the Shark-Slaying Eight Guards thought he was trying to break through again and became increasingly annoyed. Thus, four more Shark Guards formed a blade net and pressed toward him.
The four Shark Guards, wielding Dual Blades, interwove their weapons like two layers of barriers before him. Unless he had enough strength to break through, he would only end up being cut to pieces on the spot.
Lu Chen was quickly forced back, and because he was distracted, he lost the initiative. He could only swing his arms rapidly, raising the Moon King's Blade to fend off the attacks from the four Shark Guards, being pushed back repeatedly, his steps becoming somewhat chaotic.
From an outsider's perspective, it was clear that Lu Chen was in an absolutely disadvantageous position, showing signs of defeat. Everyone thought he was about to collapse.
"Sister Yue, do you really want to eliminate me completely?" In a moment of panic, Lu Chen suddenly spoke up, addressing Yue Shaoting.
Yue Shaoting frowned, gripping her Dual Blades with the reverse hand and shouted, "Lu, stop playing tricks in front of me. Are you really out of options? If you surrender now, perhaps I can leave you with a complete corpse."
"A complete corpse? Heh heh."
Lu Chen chuckled lightly and replied, "A complete corpse is still dead. To me, there's no difference between being cut to pieces or having a complete corpse. Only you would value Flesh so much. In the end, you still won't let me go, will you?"
"Brother-killing vendetta cannot be forgiven. Do you think I can easily let you go? Who will bear the sins suffered by the Yue Family if not you?" Yue Shaoting scolded Lu Chen.
"Sister Yue, I understand your predicament. Perhaps after some time, I can hand over the head to you, but right now that's absolutely impossible." Lu Chen sighed and said sadly.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was utterly shocked. Lu Chen actually expressed willingness to hand over his head to Yue Shaoting after some time; this person was simply insane for disregarding what a Qi Master valued most—Flesh.
Without a head, a Qi Master would face certain death.
What shocked Yue Shaoting and the others even more was Lu Chen's attitude toward Flesh—it was too dismissive and trivializing; he seemed like a lunatic.
Then Lu Chen activated his Supreme Garment and Essence Sphere, replenishing his energy once again. He became vigorous like a fierce tiger charging into a pack of wolves and began to fight back fiercely.
With a spin of his Flesh, Lu Chen gripped the Moon King's Blade tightly and pulled it sharply. The blade gleamed coldly as it sliced through the air with a "shhh," cutting back and knocking the four Shark Guards aside.
Lu Chen's unexpected move once again left Yue Shaoting and the others astonished and shocked.
Lu Chen seized the opportunity, executing Whirlwind Slash to break through forward. His Dual Blades sliced through the air, creating deep grooves in the ground, and this time, Lu Chen surged forward over twenty steps.
"Now is the time, the opportunity has come!"
With a distance of over twenty steps, the Shark Guards were knocked back. Lu Chen took advantage of this chance to perform Fairy Leap, springing from his original position and landing directly on a nearby tree.
After two consecutive fierce Whirlwind Slashes to break free, Lu Chen was forced back each time, leaving the Shark Guards momentarily stunned.
On the third attempt, Lu Chen was serious. Utilizing the powerful bounce of Fairy Leap, he jumped onto a nearby large tree, breaking through the encirclement of the Shark Guards, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
He had not used this method earlier simply because the timing wasn't right; the Shark Guards were all skilled fighters with tightly woven attacks, leaving no openings.
Yue Shaoting, unsure of Lu Chen's trickery, pointed at him as he jumped onto the tree and coldly commanded, "Everyone go up and capture him!"
All the Shark Guards could perform Fairy Leap as well and were even more skilled than Lu Chen, able to jump higher. At Yue Shaoting's command, eight Shark Guards immediately leaped into action, charging at Lu Chen.
"Sister Yue, you won't be able to capture me today!"
Lu Chen stood motionless in the tree fork while his Flesh remained still. The Yin Spirit had already Disembodied, manifesting Dharmakaya above his head. With a wave of his hands, he unleashed a Rift Spell.
The golden figure that had fallen from his pocket earlier was actually Jun Bell. At this moment, Jun Bell was hidden in the bushes behind the eight Shark Guards.
As Lu Chen cast Rift Spell, an opening in Jun Bell appeared. Instantly, a powerful force of absorption spread out.
Yue Shaoting's group of three and the eight Shark Guards who had already jumped felt their feet slip without any warning and were directly consumed into Jun Bell.
Lu Chen had thrown Jun Bell out earlier specifically for this moment; as long as he had even a little time for his Yin Spirit to Disembody and cast Rift Spell to open Jun Bell, no one would be able to escape.
Yue Shaoting and the others were sucked into Jun Bell, immediately screaming in despair, their voices filled with anguish. The gravity was ten times that of reality, making it nearly impossible for them to even walk.
"Lu, how dare you deceive me?"
At this moment, Yue Shaoting felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, his body swaying left and right, feeling as if he bore a weight of a thousand pounds, making it difficult to lift his feet.
"Sister Yue, all's fair in war. I don't want to kill you, but you are intent on putting me to death without any mercy. Then I can only apologize."
Lu Chen's voice echoed within Jun Bell, allowing everyone who had been swallowed to hear him clearly.
"What do you want? You despicable person," Yue Shaoting said, pain evident on his face as he cursed Lu Chen fiercely.
"What do I want? Your lives are in my hands now. What I want is merely a matter of my word. The power of Yin Master is beyond your imagination. If I just move a finger, you will all die inside."
Lu Chen was not boasting. If he were not concerned about his Flesh, he would have long since used Yin Spirit Disembodiment and spells to deal with these people.
The Four Symbols Thunder Scripture, Three Aspects Return to One Scripture, Ritual Spell—each could kill them a hundred times over. Not to mention that they were currently trapped inside Jun Bell, their Flesh greatly restrained, making it easy for him to kill them.
However, if Lu Chen used spells too early, it would mean sacrificing his Flesh at a heavy cost—a cost too great to bear.
Even if he risked everything to kill these people, he would have to face the reality of his Flesh being destroyed and then retreat into the mountains for Corpse Transformation to reincarnate once more.
The result would be missing the opportunity for great chaos and the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, rendering all his efforts in this life meaningless.
Lu Chen certainly would not do such a thing; he was no fool.
The reason he wanted to delay handing over the heads of the others to Yue Shaoting was due to the trouble caused by killing Yue Shaojun.
Yue Shaoting was innocent; if this matter did not reach a satisfactory conclusion, his Dao Heart would be hindered.
Dao Heart was obstructed, and he would no longer be able to break through Void Immortal. When he mentioned sending his own head to Yue Shaoting, Lu Chen felt a slight improvement in his state of mind, allowing him to break through a layer of obstruction.
Without Flesh, one is destined to die, and the same goes for Yin Master. The only way to avoid death is through Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation.
The reason Lu Chen needed some time was right here. If he directly offered his head, he would die. However, if he waited until he broke through Void Immortal and entered the realm of “Divine Separation and Convergence,” he could abandon Flesh.
Divine Separation and Convergence allows one to detach from Flesh. After forty-nine days, they will not disintegrate; the Yin Spirit can return to life and replace Flesh. At that point, there would be no need for Flesh anymore.
By then, Lu Chen would be able to fulfill his promise and send his head to Yue Shaoting. At worst, he would just have to give up on Divine Martial Transformation.
The Yin Spirit could cultivate into a Yin Immortal, which is equally formidable, exploring the mysteries of the Cosmic Starry Sky, freely traveling through the Spirit Travel. How delightful that would be!
“I refuse to accept this! If you have the ability, let’s fight fairly. What kind of hero relies on tricks?”
Yue Shaoting was still shouting loudly, expressing dissatisfaction with how Lu Chen had captured them using schemes and wanting a fair fight.
However, at that moment, Lu Chen sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching. He was very familiar with this aura; he had encountered it countless times before.
“Sister Yue, even if I come down now, you are not my match. Someone is coming from outside; this person is extraordinary. I never intended to kill you. If you don’t want to die, it’s best to behave.”
Lu Chen said a word inside the Jun Bell, then used the Healing Void Spell to conceal the entrance of the Jun Bell, allowing the Yin Spirit to return to his body.
At this point, that powerful aura was already close; there was no way to hide.
With no other choice, Lu Chen had to conceal the Jun Bell as best as he could and then jumped down from the tree, landing steadily on the ground.
Kneeling on both knees, Lu Chen deeply bowed his head until his face almost touched the dirt.
“Master.”
In an instant, a Daoist figure slowly materialized before Lu Chen. Dressed in black, he appeared to be a middle-aged man in his thirties, with long hair cascading down his back and his hands clasped behind him.
The newcomer was none other than Yin Boqing, standing just three steps away from Lu Chen.
"Are there signs of a struggle here? So many footprints, quite a number of people. Who could it be?"
Yin Boqing asked Lu Chen in a very calm tone, without much emotion.
Lu Chen did not dare to raise his head; his face was pressed against the dirt, and he remained silent. With so many footprints on the ground, he truly had no way to explain.
"Could it be the rebels from the Red Robe Sect?"
Before Lu Chen could respond, Yin Boqing suddenly spoke again, seemingly convincing himself.
After a moment of silence, unsure of how to answer, Lu Chen licked his lips and said, "Yes, it's a group of rebels from the Red Robe Sect. I taught them a harsh lesson, but as an incompetent disciple, I managed to teach them a lesson but couldn't capture them."
"Such formidable rebels? The only ones within thirty miles are from Flowing Wave Island Camp. How could they escape so quickly?"
At this point, Yin Boqing's tone became contemplative, as if he was pondering something.
