Chapter 4042: Clearing the Enemies in the Rear
After these masked men went up the mountain, they moved in four directions. After some pursuit and interception, they actually surrounded Lu Chen and others.
However, the number of these masked men is limited. They only strengthen the front blockade and the left and right sides. However, they are very weak against the pursuit from behind, so weak that there are only two people.
However, it doesn't matter if there are only two people. They are the weakest of the Three Flowers. The three rays of light on their heads are dimmer than Miao Shi, and their strength is obviously not strong enough.
This group of masked men put the two weakest ones at the back, thinking that when Lu Chen was desperate, he would definitely choose to break out to the north gate for rescue, and then be forced to fight with their main force in the front.
But they never expected that Lu Chen would not follow the routine and go back to the original route to fight the two weakest people behind.
Because walking back was farther away from the north gate of Dan Palace, there were fewer opportunities for rescue, and they could not escape the situation of being surrounded and annihilated. They really didn't know why Lu Chen would do such a stupid thing?
In fact, they had a good understanding of Wan Yan and Miao Shi's combat prowess, but they didn't know Lu Chen's strength. Otherwise, they would not have put the two weakest ones behind them to pursue them, but at least they would have sent one more powerful one to hold the line back.
It was such a mistake that gave Lu Chen an opportunity to attack his weak point, causing the overall plan of these masked men to fail.
Miao Shi rushed to the front and started fighting with a masked man. As soon as they fought, he overwhelmed the opponent and was obviously much stronger than the opponent.
Another masked man knew that Miao Shi was very strong, but instead of helping his accomplices besiege Miao Shi, he directly aimed at Lu Chen. It was obvious that Lu Chen was his target.
As for Lu Chen's body having an extra ray of light, which already reached the realm of Erhua Taiyi Immortal King, that guy didn't care at all.
In that guy's perception, everyone below Sanhua Juding is an ant, so naturally he won't take Lu Chen seriously.
"Lu Chen, the descendant of Kowloon, we have been waiting for you for so many days, and finally we are waiting for you. Today is the day you die!"
The masked man laughed wildly, and the vision suddenly opened. He was holding a spear and came straight at Lu Chen.
"You don't know whose death date it is?"
Lu Chen sneered, opened his fighting body fully, raised the magic sword, and used the 80th sword to kill the immortal, slashing down with the long sword.
The opponent is the lowest-level Sanhua Gathering, and is obviously weaker than Miao Shi. The eighty-fifth sword is enough to defeat him, and there is no need to sacrifice the eighty-first sword.
Sure enough, that slash of the sword directly destroyed the opponent's gun power, shattered the opponent's protective immortal essence, and deflected the opponent's gun tip.
The remaining power of the blade was still strong, and it slashed along the gun shaft until it hit the opponent's arm and cut it into two pieces.
Although the Eightieth Immortal Sword is not the strongest sword, it can defeat Miao Shi who does not use weapons. The masked man is one level lower than Miao Shi, so naturally he cannot withstand this sword.
Unfortunately, half of the power of this knife was removed by the force of the gun. It did not have enough power to kill the masked man, and only cut off an arm.
But it was enough. The masked man lost an arm, his condition declined sharply, and his combat power also dropped significantly.
"How can a mere Erhua Taiyi Immortal King have such strong sword power? It's really abnormal."
The masked man was hit hard all of a sudden. Knowing that he was no match for Lu Chen, he hurriedly turned around and ran away.
But Lu Chen couldn't let him go. He had already activated the Light Steps, and he caught up with him in the blink of an eye, locking the target and finishing with one more blow.
Bang!
The blade was everywhere, and the immortal body was shattered, instantly turning into a stream of blood and splattering.
"No"
A frightened soul escaped from the broken flesh and blood. The moment he screamed in despair, he was blown away by a finger force, and his body and soul were destroyed on the spot.
When the masked man fighting Miao Shi saw this, he was immediately frightened and used all his strength to make a feint, hoping to take the opportunity to escape from the battlefield.
But Miao Shi's combat power was higher than him, and he withstood his feint, stepped forward to hold him back from the fight, and even cut him with a sword.
That sword hit the guy's chest. The wound was deep enough to see the bone, but it failed to explode.
At the level of Three Flowers Gathering, the physical body is very powerful. Unless the combat power is much higher, it is not easy to kill at the same level.
Even if Miao Shi's strength is one level higher than the opponent, even if he keeps pressing the opponent, he will only hurt the opponent, and it will be more difficult to kill him.
Without a super domineering combat skill like Immortal Killing, you cannot kill the opponent with one blow, and sooner or later the opponent will escape.
But Lu Chen turned around with the knife. The masked man's feint was seen through by Miao Shi, and there was no chance to escape.
That masked man couldn't even defeat Miao Shi. How could he possibly save his life now that he had Lu Chen's deadly blade?
Bang!
A flash of sword light flashed, and the last masked man was slashed to death. Even the soul that escaped was wiped out by Lu Chen with one finger.
Killing the two enemies chasing from behind was equivalent to tearing a gap in the enemy's encirclement.
"Deputy Sect Leader, there are no enemies behind us. Should we continue to break out from behind?"
Miao Shi asked.
"Go back and get further away from the north gate. Sooner or later the enemy will catch up and you won't be able to break through."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "What's more, Wan Yan and the others are still in the rear. We have to go back to meet them, or we have to return to the battlefield over there."
Without Wan Yanduanhou setting fire to buy him some time, he wouldn't have been able to kill the two enemies behind him.
Moreover, after observing the strength of these enemies, he had no intention of breaking through.
The strongest enemy leader is just an upper-class master of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, roughly at the level of Elder Qin. Wan Yan can restrain him, so why should he be afraid to fight.
"Returning to the battlefield ahead, there are more than ten enemies, all of whom are at the level of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. I'm afraid we can't defeat them with just a few of us."
Miao Shi worried.
"We have Wan Yan, Fei Long, and Wan'er, the main force and auxiliary forces are all here, so why should we be afraid of not being able to defeat them?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "The hardest one to fight is the leader. Some of his helpers are indeed difficult to deal with, but if we take him out alone, we can beat him to death."
"Deputy Sect Leader, do you have any plans?"
Miao Shi asked.
"There is a plan, but we need to take risks, otherwise we can't turn the unfavorable situation around."
Lu Chen nodded, then looked at the rising flames in front of him and said, "The Wanyan sea of fire is very fierce. Those with lower cultivation levels dare not step into the sea of fire, otherwise they will be seriously injured or even burned to death."
"There are only a few strong enemies who dare to step into the sea of fire. The weaker ones can only stay on the side and wait for the sea of fire to go out, and these people are our targets."
Miao Shi is usually not very smart, but he reacts quickly in the direction of the battle. He understood it as soon as Lu Chen reminded him, "Let's go behind the enemy. With the combat power of the deputy sect master, those weak enemies are dead."
