Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques
Chapter 984: One Sword, One SoulEditor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Shuzhang was nowhere to be found, but the distant presence of that human race’s conspicuous aura had become distinctly visible.
Since Lu Shuzhang could not be killed for the moment, the next best option was to target another human.
Lou Kun discreetly placed a marker in the air. If Lu Shuzhang chose to reveal himself and attempt an escape when he deemed the timing right, Lou Kun would immediately detect it.
At that point, Lou Kun could lead the Water Clan in continuing the hunt for Lu Shuzhang.
Several dozen miles away, Lu Shuzhang remained silent, sensing the departure of a dozen or so Water Clan members. He had no intention of fleeing.
Lu Shuzhang knew that Lou Kun and his group would not easily let him go.
As a descendant of the Emperor, Lou Kun had a centuries-old grudge with the Sky Resonance Court. Now that he had finally caught Lu Shuzhang in the Glass Space, Lou Kun would not give up.
Lu Shuzhang was acutely aware of this and had prepared himself to hide here for several days, waiting to wear down Lou Kun’s patience before seizing his chance to escape.
Suddenly, Lu Shuzhang’s expression changed as he looked up ahead.Lou Kun had detected the presence of a human figure from afar long ago, while Lu Shuzhang had only just vaguely sensed it.
This delay was not only because Lou Kun’s senses were enhanced by his kin, but also due to Lu Shuzhang’s extreme concealment of his own aura at this moment.
As Lu Shuzhang sensed the distant presence, a familiar feeling surfaced in his mind. After a moment, his expression shifted as he recognized the aura of this technique.
Chen Fei, the first prodigy of the Qiankun Mansion to win against a higher-level opponent, and the one who made Lu Shuzhang taste defeat on the very first day at Qiankun Mansion.
Defeated by Chen Fei, Lu Shuzhang had not lost heart. He always harbored the idea of catching up to and even surpassing Chen Fei.
It was only when Chen Fei later displayed even more exaggerated talents, defeating the similarly higher-level opponent Kuang Xingfeng, that Lu Shuzhang truly understood the extent of Chen Fei’s extraordinary aptitude.
“How could Chen Fei be so brazenly revealing his aura? Doesn’t he know the current situation in the Glass Space?” Lu Shuzhang’s gaze fluctuated.
As a prodigy like Chen Fei, in the Glass Space with its restricted levels, he should be thriving.
Under normal circumstances, as long as one wasn’t foolish enough to challenge the plane’s perilous areas, they generally wouldn’t encounter major dangers.
However, the situation now was different. Various races were hunting humans, and the human force had been scattered and could not regroup.
This led to multiple alien races surrounding a single human, often dozens attacking one.
No matter how talented one was, facing such numbers would force even the most exceptional individuals to avoid confrontation.
If the alien races discovered Chen Fei’s identity as a human prodigy, they would gather even more alien races to encircle and kill him, leaving him no place to hide.
Previously active Kuang Xingfeng had disappeared from the Glass Space because he had already been targeted by other alien races.
Revealing oneself meant being surrounded and killed.
Lu Shuzhang hadn’t heard any news of Kuang Xingfeng for a while and didn’t know whether he had managed to escape the Glass Space.
If Kuang Xingfeng was dead, it would be a significant loss for the humans, equivalent to losing a future Rule Integration Realm expert.
And Chen Fei, a prodigy with even more extraordinary talent than Kuang Xingfeng, if he were to die, the loss for humanity would be even greater.
“I must warn Chen Fei to run!”
Lu Shuzhang hesitated for a moment, his gaze gradually becoming resolute as he ignited the Shadowing Talisman in his hand.
No matter how he used it before, the Shadowing Talisman had remained intact, making it one of his greatest trump cards.
Now, in order to warn Chen Fei, Lu Shuzhang had no choice but to use the Shadowing Talisman directly.
A wave of energy emerged from the Shadowing Talisman and then entered the space, directly transmitting to several hundred miles away.
Several hundred miles away, Chen Fei was flying forward when suddenly his movement paused slightly.
“Chen Fei, run quickly! The alien races in the Glass Space are hunting humans. Find a weak spot in the space and escape from the Glass Space!”
Chen Fei heard Lu Shuzhang’s voice in his ear. He turned to the direction from which the energy wave came, completely surprised to encounter Lu Shuzhang here.
A faint smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he turned and flew toward the source of the wave.
Several hundred miles away, Lu Shuzhang’s Shadowing Talisman had burned halfway, reducing its perfect concealment effect significantly.
Sensing that Chen Fei was not retreating but heading towards him, Lu Shuzhang was momentarily confused. Was Chen Fei planning to help him escape?
Given Chen Fei’s strength compared to his own, it was clear that Chen Fei was far superior. If Chen Fei were to help him find a weak spot in the space and escape the Glass Space, their chances of success would indeed be much higher.
The only difficulty now was that Lou Kun and his dozen Water Clan members were attacking Chen Fei.
Chen Fei was very strong, but as a descendant of the Emperor, Lou Kun’s strength would not be lacking.
Compared to Lu Shuzhang, who had just recently broken through to the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, Lou Kun had been entrenched in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm for over a hundred years and had reached its peak.
Lu Shuzhang had brought many trump cards with him to the Glass Space. Similarly, Lou Kun, as a descendant of the Emperor, would undoubtedly have a comparable number of trump cards.
With the combined forces of the dozen Water Clan members and numerous trump cards, even Chen Fei would not fare well.
More critically, if Lou Kun and his Water Clan members detained Chen Fei, more alien races would likely come, making it extremely difficult for Chen Fei to escape even if he wanted to.
The final outcome was hard to predict.
“After meeting up with Chen Fei, use the Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman. We should be able to escape together!”
Lu Shuzhang’s mind raced, and he concluded that this was the safest method. The Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman was one of his final trump cards.
With this thought in mind, Lu Shuzhang continued to burn the Shadowing Talisman, transmitting his plan.
He then focused on the situation ahead, ready to rush forward and lead Chen Fei to escape the encirclement as soon as Chen Fei was within range.
Several hundred miles away, Chen Fei received another message from Lu Shuzhang and turned his gaze toward the approaching black cloud.
The cloud was roiling violently, and within it, the auras of a dozen Water Clan members were unmistakable.
While Lou Kun and his group had hidden their auras, they could not escape Chen Fei’s perception under the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword at the Great Completion stage.
As if sensing Chen Fei’s gaze, the dark cloud suddenly formed a massive face, which looked at Chen Fei and showed a sinister smile.
“Human, run quickly! I’m coming to kill you. If you don’t run now, you won’t have another chance!”
Lou Kun’s arrogant voice reverberated across several hundred miles. Even some alien races that had not noticed the situation turned their attention this way.
Some curious alien races flew over to check it out.
“Come, I’m right here. Come and kill me!”
Hearing Lou Kun’s words, Chen Fei chuckled softly, extending his right hand and flicking his index finger.
Lou Kun’s previously arrogant laughter abruptly halted. He had expected the human from afar to be frightened into fleeing, but instead, he heard such audacious words.
It was simply a death wish!
“Boy, state your name. I don’t kill nameless people!” Lou Kun’s voice was cold, and a chilling aura began to spread, causing the temperature within a hundred miles to drop sharply, as if a snowy kingdom were emerging.
“See for yourself who I am!”
Chen Fei shifted his aura, revealing his true presence. Previously, while in the Glass Space, Chen Fei had concealed his aura to avoid unnecessary trouble and to aid in his treasure hunting.
After all, he had come here primarily for the Primordial Crystals, although any other rare treasures would be a bonus.
But given the current situation in the Glass Space, where peaceful treasure hunting was no longer possible, there was no point in maintaining his concealment.
“I am Chen Fei of the human race!”
Upon sensing Chen Fei’s aura, Lou Kun’s voice grew louder, realizing why Chen Fei had been so audacious in revealing his human aura earlier.
Chen Fei was the most exceptional prodigy among the human mid-stage Sun Moon Realm warriors. For the alien races and ice races that had been hunting, killing Chen Fei would be more painful for the humans than killing a hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm warriors.
“Good, very good, hahahaha!”
Lou Kun laughed loudly and, with his dozen aquatic allies, charged forward in an instant.
No matter how impressive a human prodigy was, Lou Kun, as a descendant of the Emperor, was equally talented. With the combined strength of sixteen Water Clan members, surely they could handle a single prodigy of the same realm.
Two hundred miles away, Lu Shuzhang sensed the simultaneous eruption of Chen Fei’s and Lou Kun’s auras, his expression changing.
Hadn’t he sent a message instructing Chen Fei to meet him first? Why was Chen Fei directly confronting Lou Kun and his group? This was not wise!
Lu Shuzhang’s expression kept changing, and with a determined look, he stepped out from his Shadowing Talisman and headed toward Chen Fei.
Now, he could only take the initiative to meet Chen Fei, use the Thousand-Mile Escape Talisman, and then leave.
Two hundred miles away, Chen Fei, wielding the Qian Yuan Sword, took a step forward and was immediately several dozen miles away.
Lou Kun, watching Chen Fei charge in the opposite direction, snorted coldly. Countless large raindrops surged toward Chen Fei.
Each raindrop approached the power of a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm attack. The sheer volume of this assault, aggregating to form a formidable attack, was terrifying.
Lou Kun didn’t expect these raindrops to kill Chen Fei but aimed to control the pace of the battle.
In a fight, controlling the pace often means controlling the victory.
Chen Fei’s eyelids lifted slightly. With a forward sweep of his left hand, a phantom palm imprint swept through the air, instantly dissipating hundreds of raindrops.
The Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, in addition to greatly enhancing Chen Fei’s foundational powers, was crucial for its perspective.
This perspective allowed Chen Fei to see through all the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm attacks.
To Chen Fei, these attacks were mere flaws, and breaking through them was effortless.
With the raindrops shattered, a sense of unease emerged in Lou Kun’s heart, rapidly expanding from his consciousness.
Lou Kun’s expression grew somber as he formed a seal with his hands. In the next moment, the combined power of sixteen Water Clan members conjured a silvery river of heavenly water that cascaded toward Chen Fei.
Chen Fei remained indifferent, turning his Qian Yuan Sword and thrusting it with a seemingly ordinary strike.
“Whoosh!”
A piercing sound, as if aiming to tear through space, resonated. A sword scar soared into the sky, directly cutting through the river of heavenly water.
Compared to the majestic heavenly river, the sword scar appeared weaker in terms of momentum.
“Boom!”
The collision between the two was intense. The river of heavenly water came to an abrupt halt, while the sword scar continued unabated, tearing through the river.
In the next moment, the sixteen closely connected Water Clan members were severed from each other.
Lou Kun instinctively tried to reconnect with his kin but found the surrounding space was already enveloped by the fierce sword intent.
Chen Fei took a step forward, instantly appearing in front of the sixteen Water Clan members and slashing with his Qianyuan Sword.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
As the attack methods were disrupted and connections severed, the paused Water Clan members were swiftly dealt with by Chen Fei’s sword.
In an instant, eleven of the Water Clan members fell to Chen Fei’s blade.
