Seeing this, his companion choosing a path to self-destruction, the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator who had spoken up to warn, muttered a curse and withdrew by himself.
The Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivator who ignored the warning could not withstand the Blazing Heaven Sword at all.
His flying sword was only touched for a moment before being sent flying, bouncing more than a dozen zhang away.
He himself was killed instantly, his face still showing fear even at his death, clearly having realized Lu Changfeng’s extraordinary abilities at last.
"Tier Three Magical Artifact?!"
"Foundation Establishment Cultivator?"
Witnessing two subordinates being slain without resistance by Lu Changfeng in succession, Chen Xianhe, who had been coldly observing, finally recognized the situation.
In the same realm, one could gauge one’s opponent’s strength just by seeing them make two moves.
Seeing the power Lu Changfeng exhibited, Chen Xianhe frowned.
As a Loose Cultivator working his way through the Chu Kingdom Cultivation Realm for decades, finally reaching Foundation Establishment, how could he miss Lu Changfeng’s earlier subtle ploys?
Clearly, this was a trap waiting for them to dive in.
The key point was, they really did jump in willingly.
Realizing he couldn’t just stand by anymore, Chen Xianhe activated his own magical artifact to attack Lu Changfeng fiercely.
He estimated that Lu Changfeng’s strength was only at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment, not overly difficult to handle.
What most urged him to act was Lu Changfeng’s Blazing Heaven Sword.
This artifact tempted him greatly.
It was worth risking a battle.
The artifact he activated was a black Round Ring Spiritual Artifact with extremely sharp edges at the outer circumference, its tier was Tier Two High-Grade.
The Round Ring Spiritual Artifact spun as it flew out directly towards Lu Changfeng.
The crowd of Loose Cultivators, hearing the whirring sounds from the Round Ring Spiritual Artifact, familiar with this sound, realized that Chen Xianhe was striking, and immediately backed away.
Lu Changfeng, maneuvering the Blazing Heaven Sword to strike, kept an eye on Chen Xianhe not far away, not daring to be careless.
At this moment, noticing Chen Xianhe’s strike and the incoming artifact attack, he felt no complacency.
He directed the Blazing Heaven Sword, turning it mid-air, drawing a beautiful crimson flame trajectory to meet the Round Ring Spiritual Artifact.
With two clanging sounds, these two artifacts directly collided, the Round Ring Spiritual Artifact, due to its lower tier, was shaken by the attack.
The Round Ring Spiritual Artifact vibrated twice, humming as it fell to the ground, a tiny crack appeared on the artifact itself.
Witnessing this scene, beyond his control, Chen Xianhe’s pupils shrunk, realizing he had misjudged.
The flying sword controlled by the other party was at least Tier Three Middle Grade.
A First-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator actually equipped with a Tier Three Middle Grade flying sword—just what kind of background does this person have?
Chen Xianhe couldn’t help but inhale sharply, hurriedly retrieving the Round Ring Spiritual Artifact.
With a harsh look, he brushed his hand over the storage bag, took out a small black sword which exploded with a dozen black luminous rays.
All of these rays were small black swords, roughly the size of daggers, forming a round ring, and they shot towards Lu Changfeng.
This was Chen Xianhe’s signature move.
Faced with such a move, Chen Xianhe believed Lu Changfeng, having activated the Blazing Heaven Sword, wouldn’t have time to respond further, to continue wielding the Blazing Heaven Sword to defend.
Even if defending, it wouldn’t be enough.
But he still underestimated Lu Changfeng.
"Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber!"
Knowing that activating the Blazing Heaven Sword would not timely counter this wave of attacks, Lu Changfeng acted decisively, temporarily ignoring the Blazing Heaven Sword, allowing it to hover. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
He manifested another Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber, fiercely slicing towards the black swords.
In one stroke, he neutralized most of the black sword attacks and dodged out of the way.
"Tier Three Magical Artifact!!"
Having witnessed Lu Changfeng wielding another Tier Three Magical Artifact, Chen Xianhe’s eyes widened, his mind wanting to curse openly.
Possessing two Tier Three Magical Artifacts simultaneously, Lu Changfeng’s background increasingly made Chen Xianhe apprehensive.
The other Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivators, seeing Lu Changfeng manage to counter Chen Xianhe’s two attacks head-on, if they still couldn’t deduce Lu Changfeng’s strength at this point, then their minds truly had problems.
"Are we really going to retreat?"
"This person is certainly a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, nothing we can deal with, what else is there but retreat?"
"Foundation Establishment Cultivator is definitely not someone we can oppose!"
Within a few words, most of the Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivators fled desperately, rushing towards the direction of Chen Xianhe, seeing him as a lifeline.
At this moment, they had to rely on Chen Xianhe to fight against Lu Changfeng, otherwise, they’d all perish here.
"Who on earth are you?"
Retrieving the black swords, Chen Xianhe’s gaze sharp and piercing, he looked at Lu Changfeng.
At this moment, carefully scrutinizing Lu Changfeng, still unfamiliar, he assumed it was their first meeting, hence no history of enmity.
Cultivators had good memories, just seeing a face once, they’d remember instantly.
"Does it matter who I am?"
Lu Changfeng’s battle spirit rose sharply, feeling the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his heart thrilled, determined to eliminate these loose cultivator scum.
Chen Xianhe frowned, his expression darkened like water.
"Fellow cultivator, why not cease here, continuing this struggle is unwise for both of us."
"I’ve already lost two companions to you. If you stop here, we can let bygones be bygones."
Chen Xianhe wanted to avoid this fight, unsure if the opponent still had a third Tier Three Magical Artifact.
If a fight could be avoided, he’d rather not fight.
"This piece is not wise."
Lu Changfeng coldly responded, with no intention to stop at all.
"Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Chen Xianhe’s face flared in anger, secretly gritting his teeth, activating the black sword in front, its tip pointing steadfastly at Lu Changfeng.
"Then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
With that, further discussion seemed unnecessary.
Chen Xianhe launched an attack suddenly, the black sword turning into a stream of light with a wailing wind, aiming straight at Lu Changfeng’s chest.
This black sword tiered even higher than the Round Ring Spiritual Artifact—Tier Two High-Grade, Chen Xianhe’s favored artifact he had wielded for over a decade.
Facing the piercing black sword, Lu Changfeng felt no great concern, having earlier wielded the Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber against it, he had roughly gauged this artifact’s tier power.
This time, Lu Changfeng didn’t activate the Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber but used a body technique to evade, dodging Chen Xianhe’s attack with agility!
Then, the Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber soared through the air, emitting dazzling destructive saber light.
Under the activation of the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact, it struck straight at Chen Xianhe, causing him to really dread, not daring to face it head-on at all.
