Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Lu Chen Plays Tricks, Refusing to Return the Magic Artifact

Fire against fire.

Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, and then a blaze was rushing toward Li Chengyang.

In comparison, Li Chengyang’s Fire Control Spirit Technique was more skilled, yet Lu Chen’s Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique perfectly avoided this point.

No matter how skilled you are, if I directly target your weakness, what use is it?

Moreover, my firepower is not weaker than yours!

The Fire Control Spirit Technique is only meant for better control of Spiritual Fire, that’s all!

Lu Chen revealed a cold smirk, like entering a fray unarmed, dodging the fire tongs and seizing Li Chengyang’s hand in the process.

Before his opponent could react, Lu Chen’s other hand had reached out, landing onto the back of his neck!

With a slight exertion of force, he thrust his knee forward!

"Bang!"

Having killed his way out of life-and-death situations countless times, how could this Artifact Refining Cultivator, practically raised in comfort, compare to him?

The knee is one of the hardest parts of the human body, and the lower abdomen is a place of softness.

Meeting soft with hard in such a brutish and unreasonable manner, Li Chengyang immediately felt pain, his hands instinctively covering his abdomen, and the fire tongs magic artifact fell into Lu Chen’s hands!

Seeing him curled up like a cooked shrimp, Lu Chen had no intention of letting him off, releasing him only to swiftly turn to the side and deliver a harsh side kick to his cheek!

A slap to the face!

A real slap to the face, using a foot at that!

All of this had taken but a few breaths’ time, and not only had Li Chengyang’s magic artifact been taken, but now with the imprint of a shoe sole on his face, he lay sprawled on the ground!

"Lu Chen, you’re courting death!"

Li Chengyang scrambled up from the ground, "Give me back my magic artifact!"

With that, he rushed over with his fists swinging, his eyes nearly shooting flames in rage.

"Hand over the senior brother’s magic artifact!"

Seeing Lu Chen fiddling with the fire tongs and showing no intention of returning them, Li Chenggu also shouted loudly.

At the same time, he gestured with his hand, and the other ordinary disciples immediately surrounded Lu Chen!

"A mere fire tong, I don’t want it even if you gave it to me."

Lu Chen spoke indifferently, and the crowd’s footsteps faltered, thinking the boy was intimidated by their numbers.

Li Chengyang sneered, "At least you know your place, bring it back quickly!"

He withdrew the fire from his hands and rushed in front of Lu Chen, holding out his palm.

Lu Chen grinned, a flash of light in his hand, and he tossed the fire tongs into his storage bag, then swiftly drew out his Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

"Lu Chen, what are you..."

Li Chengyang knew at once what Lu Chen intended to do and quickly summoned a wisp of Earth Fire, but Lu Chen was faster, the spear’s butt smashing fiercely onto his other intact cheek!

"Crack!"

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear passed through the flames unscathed and slammed heavily onto the other side of his face!

A shoe print on one side, and now a spearmark on the other!

The others were stunned, Lu Chen had actually...

Dared to make a move, surrounded by so many of them!

Wasn’t this suicidal?

One should not hit the face when beating someone, yet he struck both the left and the right!

And Li Chengyang was the Grand Elder’s second disciple!

Where did he get the courage!

While they were still in shock, Lu Chen laughed heartily, tossing the Heavenly Inquiry Spear aside!

He then leapt up, jumping over the encirclement, and wielding the long spear, he flew off into the distance!

"Chase, chase after him!"

Li Chengyang finally reacted, bellowing orders at his fellow brothers to pursue Lu Chen. If he didn’t avenge this humiliation, how could he have the face to stay in the Casting Gear Pavilion?

"Chase!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Don’t let him get away!"

The disciples each took out their own magic artifacts and chased after Lu Chen.

They were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with not much difference in speed, but Lu Chen had seized the initiative and was not easy to catch.

"Second senior brother, what should we do?"

Li Chenggu had not left, as Li Chengyang, without a magic artifact, could not fly.

"You carry me," Li Chengyang’s face alternated between red and pale with rage, unable to contain his immense humiliation — he wished he could slay Lu Chen right then and there!

Alas.

He couldn’t!

Firstly, Lu Chen and he shared the same status, both Inner Sect Disciples and new disciples of the Grand Elder.

Put simply, they were from the same lineage of the Sect Leader.

Secondly, since Hao Rong had gone and Lu Chen remained unharmed, it said something.

He could only use the pretext of Lu Chen assaulting him to strike back, hence he must seek vengeance within the Star Picking Formation!

Otherwise, how could he face staying in the Ji Pavilion?

"Cheng Gu, carry me. With over a thousand fellow senior brothers entering the formation, we’ll call upon friends, and I refuse to believe that we can’t catch this newcomer!"

Li Chengyang spoke sternly, stepping onto Li Chenggu’s magic artifact, and the two also rapidly gave chase!
