C1383 Dilemma
Following the slow dissipation of the sword light, only the faint Blood Fog remained in the air. The grand guard of the third floor, the Heavenly Prison, died a terrible death on the spot.
As the scorpion was killed, all of the puppets fell to the ground in an instant. Many had stupefied expressions on their faces.
"The puppets are unable to move. Could it be that the poisonous scorpion was killed?"
"It must be like this, otherwise how could it be like this!"
"Haha, that's great."
… ….
Everyone was startled for a moment before they reacted and couldn't help but shout out in excitement.
When Qiu Daozi returned with a few elders, he found the floor littered with puppets that were like corpses. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
"What the hell is going on?" Qiu Daozi's face was full of shock. He finally managed to save a few of his senior brothers, but they didn't expect that he would have missed something.
"The scorpion is dead."
"All the puppets have lost their ability to move." Someone cheered excitedly.
"What!"
Hearing this, not only Qiu Daozi, even the few Heaven And Earth Sect experts behind him paled in shock. Poison Scorpion's battle strength could definitely be described as' terrifying ', even if they worked together, they did not have the confidence to defeat their opponent.
"Could Brother Lu have killed him?"
Qiu Daozi was surprised and happy at the same time, but before this, he also saw Lu Chen being chased by poisonous scorpions.
Before he could make any wild guesses, Lu Chen's figure appeared from afar. His handsome face had a hint of weariness on it. After all, using Little Yuanyang Sword Formation twice in succession to kill poisonous scorpions had consumed a lot of his energy.
"Brother Lu, you killed the Scorpion?" Qiu Daozi couldn't help but come forward to confirm.
"Yes."
Lu Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "This place is safe."
After Lu Chen confirmed the answer, everyone cheered up once again, looking at the former with eyes full of admiration. Just the puppet they used to deal with the scorpion was already almost dead, one could imagine how terrifying the scorpion was. But even such an enemy was killed by Lu Chen, it could be seen how powerful the latter was!
"Junior Qiu, is he the Extreme Tao Academic Palace disciple you spoke of?" Behind Qiu Daozi, a few of the weaker elderly men revealed looks of disbelief as they asked the former for confirmation.
"That's right."
"Seniors, he's the disciple from Extreme Tao Academic Palace that I mentioned, Lu Chen."
"Lu Chen, these people are all my senior brothers and also the Heaven And Earth Sect's elders." Qiu Daozi introduced Lu Chen. His tone of voice was not as casual as before, clearly because after killing the Scorpion, Lu Chen treated the latter with even more respect.
"Twenty years ago, I once paid a visit to the academy, but I've never seen such an outstanding person like little brother Lu."
"Could it be that you just joined the academy not long ago?"
An old man with white beard asked. Although Lu Chen had previously participated in Shouyang Conference before, and there were also Heaven And Earth Sect elders who had brought their disciples over, they all died in Everlasting Saint Palace wars. People like Qiu Daozi and the others, who were usually cut off from information regarding Heaven And Earth Sect affairs, could not recognize Lu Chen.
"That's true."
"I've only been in the academy for a dozen years."
"If it's your sect, then I know Cheng Yan. I met him once at the Shouyang Gathering before." Previously, he had met the other party at the tasting meeting that was stopped by the practitioner from the Shouyang, Yin Wuji.
However, following the destruction of the Heaven And Earth Sect, Cheng Yan seemed to have lost all information.
"Young Clan Master Cheng Yan!"
"I remember now, you are the Extreme Tao Academic Palace genius Lu Chen who defeated Ann Yuanqing back then." The other person slapped his head as he recalled, obviously he had some impression of the Shouyang from ten or so years ago.
Hearing this, Qiu Daozi and a few others looked towards the old man who had just spoke. The latter did not conceal himself and briefly narrated what had happened at the Shouyang meeting back then.
"Oh my god. Brother Lu, you've been cultivating for such a long time, yet you already have the strength to do so."
"In time, I will definitely step into the Eternal Realm."
Qiu Daozi and the others all spoke up, their words were filled with envy and admiration. If Extreme Tao Academic Palace really had a monstrous genius like Lu Chen, if they had such a person before, they wouldn't have ended up like this today.
"Thank you for your praise."
"The situation right now is extremely dangerous. Everyone, please quickly tell us about the other people's situation."
Hearing Lu Chen's reminder, a few Heaven And Earth Sect Elders nodded their heads, and one of them said with a serious expression: "Sect Master, Grand Elder, and Young Sect Master are all imprisoned on the fourth floor, and we have also seen several important people from the Pill and Artifact Sect being escorted to the fourth floor."
"If we want to save them, we must defeat the guard in charge of the fourth floor."
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and then asked, "How is the fourth floor guard's strength?"
"Unfathomable."
He continued in a deep voice, "Previously, I was imprisoned on the fourth floor and had seen that person teach the prisoner in the prison a lesson. That prisoner was a top-notch expert, and even if he was suppressed in the depths of the Heavenly Prison, his strength was still far stronger than when I was at my peak, but in front of that person, he was unable to block three moves."
"And the most important thing is that the fourth floor is completely different from the first three layers of Heavenly Prison, there is thick underground magma, and it seems like the cultivation method that that that person cultivates is related to fire. In my opinion, this person can borrow the power of the Heavenly Prison formation to unleash power that's on par with an indestructible body."
Hearing the old man's words, Lu Chen's heart sank. If it was really like this, then it seemed that the hope of saving Heaven And Earth Sect and the other experts was very slim.
Although Lu Chen had quite a few cards up his sleeves, he wasn't arrogant enough to fight against an indestructible opponent.
An existence at that level could crush all the warriors in Life And Death Stage with a wave of his hand.
Furthermore, even if one had unparalleled strength and could defeat that kind of expert, killing them would be even more difficult. What did indestructible mean? That was a terrifying expert that could be reborn through blood and flesh, and as long as he didn't completely destroy his flesh and blood, he could be resurrected.
"Now that such a big commotion has occurred, even if we do not enter the fourth floor to rescue the sect master and the others, it would be difficult for us to exit the entire Heavenly Prison. There must be some experts outside that are trying to seal the exit."
"However, in order to save the Sect Leader and the rest, we will have to fight with an indestructible expert. There's not much chance of victory at all."
Qiu Daozi shook his head with a bitter smile. This was a dead end. He had originally thought that no matter how powerful the fourth floor guard was, he was at most at the almighty level. However, he had never imagined that he would actually be an indestructible existence.
