Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Xuan Jian’s Life and Death at Stake, Lu Chen Arrives Just in Time!

Xuanyun Sect, at the foot of a peak behind the mountains, this is where Xuan Hong’s cave dwelling is located.

Ordinary cultivators would choose to have a cave dwelling at the peak or the base of a mountain. That Xuan Hong’s was placed unexpectedly meant that no one knew where it was.

At this moment, he was in his cave dwelling, using the cultivation resources stored there to control the harm caused by the Ice-Strange Fire.

However, this was only a temporary solution. The Ice-Strange Fire still clung to his body, constantly trying to freeze him.

But after all, Xuan Hong was a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator, a giant of the Mortal Realm; how could he possibly be so easily frozen upon returning to his cave dwelling?

What he did not know was that the entire Xuanyun Sect had already fallen under the control of Ji Changchun, who had even plotted against him.

He was only waiting for Xuan Jian’s Nascent Soul to be slain, then the executioner’s blade would descend upon him!

Indeed, at this moment, Xuan Hong was somewhat running low on Spiritual Power.

Though a Nascent Soul could employ various spells, being restrained from having a body, the use of some spells greatly decreased in effectiveness.

Furthermore, Xuan Jian’s Shadowless Sword had also been lost.

This made it incredibly difficult for him to cope.

Ji Changchun saw this and planned to use the grand array to kill him on the spot!

Watching Xuan Jian struggle, Ji Changchun’s face revealed a triumphant smile.

Sometimes, one must take a risk for fortunes of cultivation to fall into one’s lap!

Hadn’t he distinguished himself among the young disciples of Xuanyun Sect over the years in just such a manner?

A flash of sword light finally struck Xuan Jian, instantly draining a great deal of Spiritual Power from him.

His Nascent Soul shrank to half its size in the blink of an eye!

"Haha, Xuan Jian, so what if you are at the Nascent Soul Stage?"

At this moment, with no other Core Formation Stage cultivators around, he laughed hideously without any inhibition.

Just as Xuan Jian seemed completely overwhelmed and was about to be killed by the Shadowless Array, suddenly, the sky trembled!

The array walls turned transparent, and Ji Changchun caught sight of a figure in the distance!

Even before he could see clearly who was approaching, the Array Plate in his hand exploded with a bang!

The Shadowless Array immediately dispersed, and the sword light that had been aiming straight at Xuan Jian lost its direction.

For Xuan Jian, this was nothing short of an escape route being opened for him. He fled towards the direction outside the sect; with more space, the Shadowless Sword light became sparse, allowing him to dodge and weave!

"Lu Chen... you finally came!"

Xuan Jian shouted hysterically, his voice carrying far and wide, but it also reached Ji Changchun’s ears!

"Lu Chen?"

Ji Changchun’s eyebrows twitched, feeling the name somewhat familiar, but he had no time to ponder who Lu Chen was, as the figure had already arrived and shielded Xuan Jian’s battered Nascent Soul!

He didn’t need to think anymore, as he recognized Lu Chen!

With the array broken, Lu Chen’s immense Nascent Soul aura unmistakably passed through the sect’s array walls, sensed by Ji Changchun.

Lu Chen did not recognize Ji Changchun.

But daring to kill Xuan Jian was problem enough.

"Hmph!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, and a rich Chaos Spirit Power surged out from him, followed by a punch through the air!

Crack!

The earth shook and the mountains trembled!

The gate’s archway instantaneously turned to dust!

Ji Changchun’s last line of defense was likewise destroyed in an instant!

"Run!"

With no array walls remaining, Lu Chen’s Nascent Soul aura was even more pronounced. Ji Changchun was greatly alarmed; he picked up Spirit Stones from the ground and threw them at Lu Chen, trying to buy time for his escape!

"Spirit Stones?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow. Spirit Stones couldn’t harm him in the slightest, let alone talismans!

This is the vast chasm between Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages!

With a mere thought, all the Spirit Stones turned to dust!

But immediately afterward, that Spiritual Power, as if directed, continued to flood towards Lu Chen, covering the heavens and the earth!

"Shadowless Spirit Art? Lu Chen, be careful, this Spiritual Power... will explode!"

All Spiritual Power has its attributes.

Either it belongs to the five elements, or from the mutations these elements produce, forming different kinds of Spiritual Powers.

Like ice, wind, thunder, and so on.

Some attributes of Spiritual Power do not meld well together; forcibly combining them can lead to explosions, causing immense damage!

Clearly, this was the kind of Cultivation Technique Ji Changchun used!

Xuan Jian’s warning was precisely because of this!

Talismans can be restricted by the cultivator’s realm, but the Spiritual Power in Spirit Stones...

is not!

Xuan Jian tried to fly in front of Lu Chen, using his own Nascent Soul to shield Lu Chen from the strongest initial blast, in order to buy Lu Chen some time.

But unexpectedly, a grey-white light suddenly shone from Lu Chen’s left eye!

The next moment, the endless Spiritual Power gathered into a single line and flowed into it!

"This is... this is..."

Even Xuan Jian, with his broad knowledge and experience in cultivating the Shadowless Spirit Art, was unable to discern what had just happened!
