NIP Chapter 2044 Leader Yun, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?
Chapter 2044 Leader Yun, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?
Zhou Xiaoxiao wondered if Lu Chen really had some trick up his sleeve, which was why he was so calm at the moment.
Regardless of whether Lu Chen had any backup plans, Zhou Xiaoxiao still reminded him, "The sect leader's goal is not to kill you; her goal is simply to take you away."
"If those strange and evil spirits hold up your guards, you'll probably have no choice but to surrender."
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou naturally had no intention of attacking Lu Chen. They were only at the late stage of the Profound Realm, while Lu Chen was already at the Earth Realm. Even if they wanted to take Lu Chen away, they couldn't.
Moreover, they didn't actually want Lu Chen to become their leader's exclusive prey; deep down, they still hoped that Lu Chen could escape.
But their inaction doesn't mean their leader won't take action.
Hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao's reminder, Lu Chen said without changing his expression, "Don't worry, the person driving for us will protect me."
Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. This was just an old man in the late Earth Realm. Although his strength was greater than their leader's, the Heavenly Fortune Sect had thousands of strange beings. So many strange beings could still manage to entangle a late Earth Realm Spirit Warrior.
Once Qu He gets entangled with those strange entities, no one will be able to protect Lu Chen, and their leader will definitely take direct action against Lu Chen.
However, no matter how worried Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister were, there was nothing they could do. After all, they were supernatural beings and could not openly betray the Heavenly Fortune Sect.
Just then, the aftershocks of the battle swept over the carriage Lu Chen was riding in, and Zhao Yu and the other two had already engaged in combat with the evil spirits charging ahead.
The evil spirits charging at the front are not very strong; they can kill a large number of them with just one strike. However, their numbers are numerous, so even if they kill a few dozen, a few dozen more evil spirits will immediately pounce on them.
Seeing Zhao Yu and the other two desperately protecting the carriage below, Yun Yudie's expression grew increasingly cold.
"Three mere Earth Realm experts think they can hold back my evil army? What a fool."
Then Yun Yudie gave another order, commanding the evil spirits and strange creatures to charge forward recklessly.
The monsters knew that even if they died, they could be resurrected by their leader, so they charged even more fiercely, and in an instant, the entire valley was filled with a thick layer of eerie energy.
Although Zhao Yu and his two companions could easily kill those strange creatures, there were simply too many of them, and their spiritual energy was being depleted very quickly.
If this continues, their spiritual energy will be completely depleted within two hours.
Unlike Lu Chen, Zhao Yu and the others do not have special physical constitutions. Lu Chen, with his Netherworld Fiend Body, can quickly refine spiritual energy during battle.
The process of refining spiritual energy by Zhao Yu and his group is lengthy, and it takes a long time to recover spiritual energy. The continuous consumption of spiritual energy is extremely disadvantageous to them.
Even so, Lu Chen did not let Qu He make a move.
Before meeting Yun Yudie, Qu He must not release his Heavenly Realm aura. Once Yun Yudie senses Qu He's true level, she will definitely leave the valley immediately. It will not be so easy to catch Yun Yudie then. Yun Yudie is not stupid; she will definitely find a place to hide in the future.
This world is not just the Great Zhou Dynasty. If Yun Yudie runs away to hide in another dynasty, it will probably take a lot of effort and time to find her.
As the evil spirits and strange creatures grew increasingly ferocious, the aura emanating from Zhao Yu and his companions weakened continuously, and they were beginning to falter under the onslaught of these bizarre and malevolent forces.
Seeing that Yun Yudie still didn't come out, Lu Chen immediately said to Zhao Yu and the others, "Don't go near the carriage."
Hearing the sounds from inside the carriage, Zhao Yu and the other two were taken aback.
They are protecting Lu Chen. How can they protect Lu Chen if they don't get close to the carriage?
However, the three quickly understood what Lu Chen was planning. If they stayed too close to the carriage and protected Lu Chen tightly, the female ghost king wouldn't appear immediately, since her target was Lu Chen. Immediately, the three moved away, quickly putting distance between themselves and Lu Chen's carriage.
Seeing Zhao Yu and the others moving away from Lu Chen's carriage, Yun Yudie thought to herself, "The opportunity has come."
Without hesitation, she leaped off the cliff and headed straight for Lu Chen's carriage.
A violent gust of cold wind blew toward the carriage where Lu Chen was, and the next moment, Yun Yudie appeared less than three zhang away from the carriage.
Yun Yudie then raised her jade hand and swung it out. The violent evil energy transformed into a palm print, directly smashing Lu Chen's carriage to pieces, revealing the figures of Lu Chen and the Zhou Xiaoxiao sisters.
Yun Yudie glanced at Qu He, and then she swung her palm again, striking Qu He.
She could feel the pressure Qu He exerted on her, but she only thought of Qu He as a late-stage Earth Realm Spirit Warrior and didn't take him too seriously.
As for Lu Chen, who was at the Earth Realm, she didn't take him seriously at all. Her plan was to lure Qu He away first, have her strange subordinates hold Qu He back, and then she would return to attack Lu Chen.
However, her enormous palm energy, formed from the evil spirits, was about to touch Qu Heshi when it suddenly seemed to hit something and instantly dissipated.
Alarm bells rang in Yun Yudie's heart, and her ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger.
Even though she was suppressed by the Great Zhou's fortune and could not fully exert her strength, she was still a strange being in the late Earth Realm. Even if her strength had not recovered, it would not be easy for humans to withstand her palm strike.
But the other party did nothing, just stood there, and her evil aura dissipated. How did this happen?
Could it be that this old man used some kind of magical treasure?
Just as Yun Yudie was about to make another move, Lu Chen looked up at Yun Yudie in the sky and said with a smile, "Sect Leader Yun, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate? I genuinely wanted to make a deal with you, yet you attacked me."
Yun Yudie kept a cold face and didn't say anything.
Then she drew her longsword, swung it, and a sinister aura mixed with the sword energy rushed straight towards Qu He.
However, just like her previous palm strike, the sword energy she unleashed dissipated instantly before it even touched Qu He.
Yun Yudie felt even more uneasy. What on earth was going on?
Yun Yudie was still not giving up, and a soaring aura of murderous intent was released from her body.
Immediately afterwards, her originally perfect body underwent a huge change. Half of her body remained the same, while the other half turned into bones, which looked terrifying.
The next moment, she raised her bone claws and swung them at Qu He again. In an instant, countless white bone claws condensed in the air from the evil spirits and headed straight for Qu He.
Qu He remained calm and asked Lu Chen without changing his expression, "Your Highness, may I make my move?"
Yun Yudie has already made three moves in a row; she must have realized something is wrong by now.
If he doesn't take action now, she'll likely flee the scene.
Lu Chen glanced at Zhao Yu and the other two in the distance. The spiritual energy within their bodies was almost depleted, and they couldn't continue to waste their energy like this. So he said, "Make your move."
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure emanated from Qu He's body, and a dark blue-black spiritual aura instantly enveloped the entire valley. (End of Chapter)
