Lead clouds were drifting, the night was hazy, there was no moonlight at all, only the cool night wind was blowing gently.
Late at night, in a private room of the restaurant, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes in concentration, and entered a state of cultivation. There was a Xuanqing heavy sword beside him.
The two battles during the day had no impact on him at all. Competing with acquired warriors was just a small test.
After all, he has entered the realm of looking at the innate, and his powerful strength is far beyond the comparison of acquired warriors. If it were not for hiding his strength, he could also be like Ximen Qiuze, defeating the opponent with one sword and winning cleanly.
But he didn't want to do that. Revealing his strength was just to show off his strength. Apart from making his opponents feel intimidated, it would also easily cause others to speculate on his identity, which was of no great significance.
In the dark room, he controlled the rhythm of his breathing, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his skin undulated and rolled like waves. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.
The breathing moves with a strange rhythm, the blood in the body continues to flow at a faster pace, and the innate essence in the Dantian moves rapidly along the meridians. Between exhalation and inhalation, the whole body is like a ventilator, constantly squeezing and contracting, surging and trembling.
, producing a strange tension, expelling the deep-seated impurities in the flesh and blood from the body.
After Lu Chen broke through the innate world, he is now able to apply the 'Golden Toad Breathing Technique' to a higher level.
Ordinary people's breathing expands and contracts through the lungs, so as soon as a person is born, he begins to absorb air to survive. Although the air in this world contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, most of it contains impurities and dust.
Originally, when ordinary people were in the mother's womb, all the major muscles and meridians of the body were unobstructed. However, with the inhalation of air, those impurities will naturally be deposited in the muscles and meridians. Over time, these impurities will easily block the muscles and meridians.
This is why warriors have to stretch their muscles and bones and temper their skin since childhood. The purpose is to exercise the flexibility of muscles and bones, expel impurities from the body, and lay a solid foundation. Only after a warrior develops internal energy can he burst out his internal energy through unblocked muscles and veins.
There are countless tendons in the human body, distributed throughout the body. However, when most acquired warriors open up the tendons, they only open up the eight extra meridians, the two Rendu meridians, and the twelve main meridians. The remaining small tendons are still
In a blocked state.
However, after experiencing the baptism of innateness, Lu Chen now has more precise control over the blood, muscles, bones, and skin membranes in his body. He can even control the innate essence to spread throughout the body and clean and dredge those small tributaries.
The previously closed blood pores on the skin were awakened one by one, as if a baby had opened its small mouth, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, running with the blood in the muscles and veins, along the limbs and bones, and surging throughout the body, crazily.
It nourishes the flesh and blood, making his body more resilient and strong. After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulates for a week, it is discharged along the pores, forming a rhythm consistent with the breathing.
After a while, Lu Chen gradually started to sweat profusely and became stinky. The sweat was black, a little sticky, and exuded an unpleasant stench. However, his overall body quality quietly changed slightly!
"Whoops!" At this moment, there was a slight sound of wind outside the window, followed by a hidden weapon.
Lu Chen's six senses were so sensitive that he instantly noticed someone sneaking up on him outside the window. His eyes opened like lightning, and with an astonishing momentum, he reached out his hand like lightning and caught the hidden weapon coming from the window.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a peanut.
"Whoosh!" Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed outside the window.
"Who!" Lu Chen shouted in a low voice, grabbed the Xuanqing heavy sword and rushed out of the window like lightning. On the roof not far away, a mysterious black robe was rushing towards the outer suburbs of the city at high speed.
Lu Chen
His eyes narrowed, he hesitated for a while, then touched the ground with his toes, transformed into a big bird, and followed the mysterious figure as it flew past quickly.
Nandu City is crisscrossed with streets, and the streets are like ravines, cutting apart the luxurious mansions. On the roof of a bustling street, two figures, one after the other, rushed toward the outskirts of the city like lightning.
None of the pedestrians below noticed that there were two figures chasing each other above them.
After tracking to a dense mountain forest, the mysterious man suddenly disappeared, as if he had disappeared. Lu Chen held the Xuanqing heavy sword in his hand and looked around vigilantly, with a trace of doubt in his heart.
In the silent mountain forest, the trees swayed gently, making a slight sound, and the leaves swirled and fell in the wind, but there was no chirping of any insects or birds, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Just at this moment, a cold sword light suddenly struck from behind like lightning, with an astonishing momentum.
Lu Chen's scalp exploded. He turned around reflexively and blocked with his sword.
There was a clang and sparks flew everywhere.
Then the mysterious figure flashed away and suddenly disappeared in front of Lu Chen's eyes. It circled a curve and approached Lu Chen's right side like a ghost, and a misty sword light lit up.
"What a fast sword!" Lu Chen was startled, holding the Xuanqing heavy sword in his backhand and thrusting it backwards and upwards!
The two swords collided, dazzling sparks flickered in the night, and a terrifying force surged in. Lu Chen's left hand was suddenly shattered with traces of blood, and he took three steps back violently. Every step back, a piece of the ground was stepped on.
Clear footprints.
Whoosh, the mysterious figure gained the upper hand and rushed forward, swinging the sword again and again to strike at him. Each sword was extremely light and elegant.
The dense sword light was like a continuous drizzle, covering Lu Chen. One sword struck after another, and the opponent's figure kept flashing. The sword light struck from different angles, as if it was everywhere like the wind, and the force was terrifying.
Brush brush brush...
Lu Chen gritted his teeth, resisted and dodged again and again, and retreated step by step. Wherever he went, trees collapsed one after another, the cuts were as smooth as a mirror, and the front of his vision was filled with the sharp red sword shadow.
At the critical moment, the whole person's reaction was raised to the limit. The thick Xuanqing heavy sword seemed to be alive in his hands. He waved it at an extremely fast speed, and the continuous afterimages formed a cyan sword curtain, which completely shrouded the sword light in front of him.
Swing away.
It was as if the Xuanqing heavy sword was part of his body. It was extremely flexible and could deflect the opponent's sharp sword just right every time.
After the two sides collided dozens of times, the mysterious figure disappeared in vain, blending into the dark night like a ghost, looking extremely strange.
From the violent attack to the sudden silence, this process only lasted for a moment. Lu Chen was already sweating profusely, and his left hand holding the sword couldn't help trembling. Who on earth could the other party attack him in the middle of the night for no reason?
He didn't know who his opponent was. He only knew that this swordsmanship was very powerful. With all his strength, being able to defend against it was almost his limit. The strength of the opponent was more terrifying than he imagined, but who could this mysterious master be?
Woolen cloth?
Suddenly, a ray of red light shot through the night quickly. Wherever it went, ripples appeared in the air, as if time and space had been pierced. The oppressive momentum made Lu Chen's face change greatly. This special
The aura instantly convinced him that the opponent was an innate strong man! Realizing how terrifying the opponent was, Lu Chen immediately revealed his true strength without hesitation.
"Boom!" A stream of hot fiery true energy circulated crazily from his Dantian, pouring into all parts of his body along the eight extraordinary meridians, forming a fiery air shield on his body surface, which was able to hold up the oppressive momentum.
open.
At the same time, wisps of hot fiery red essence wrapped around the Xuanqing heavy sword, causing Lu Chen's aura to soar to its peak. He immediately gritted his teeth and stabbed hard with the Xuanqing heavy sword without any hesitation.
As if the tip of a needle is facing the wheat awn!
The moment the two sword blades touched, a terrifying wave erupted instantly. In an instant, the flowers, plants and trees in a radius of a hundred feet were shaken by a strong shock, and they shattered inch by inch.
A terrible force hit Lu Chen, causing Lu Chen to retreat ten feet in an instant. His internal organs were greatly shocked, and his body was filled with energy and blood.
"Boy, you actually broke through the innate!" A shocked voice rang out, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.
Why does it seem like I have heard this familiar tone somewhere?
He looked up and took a closer look, and a face full of beards appeared in front of him, especially the smirk on the corner of his mouth, which was particularly memorable. This was not Duguxia!
"Brother Dugu, why is it you?" Lu Chen immediately put down the Xuanqing heavy sword with a look of shock. After a long time, he found out that the mysterious man who attacked him at night was actually Dugu Xia, whom he had not seen for almost a year, which made him dumbfounded.
Duguxia put away the 'Red Charm Divine Sword', looked at Lu Chen in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Little brother, I haven't seen you for a year, you have changed so much!" Through the innate true energy that Lu Chen just burst out,
, he immediately confirmed that Lu Chen had broken through to the innate realm.
If he hadn't witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to believe that this little guy Lu Chen had actually broken through. This would have been even more shocking than him discovering a magical weapon.
How old is this little guy Lu Chen? He is only in his early twenties at most, and he is already an innate strong man! Throughout the ages, there have been such monsters in the history of Kyushu, but they are only a handful, and they are rare.
It can be seen from this that Lu Chen’s potential in the future is really scary!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Duguxiao would have thought he was dreaming!
"Brother Dugu is ridiculous!" Lu Chen put away the Xuanqing heavy sword and smiled calmly.
Dugu Xia smashed his mouth and murmured to himself: "Boy, you are really good at hiding your strength! I just wanted to try your skills, but I didn't expect that I would find out such a big secret. What do you want to do?
What, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!"
"What's wrong? You're overthinking it!" Lu Chen was also caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Dugu Xia. He just thought that the people who attacked him were sent by the Seven Kills. He didn't expect such a commotion.
A big oolong.
Dugu Xia's eyes rested on Lu Chen's left hand, and he said in surprise: "Isn't this the Xuanqing epee of the Unparalleled Sword Master? You got it, you are so lucky!"
"Brother Dugu knows this sword?" Lu Chen held up the Xuanqing heavy sword with both hands and asked slightly doubtfully.
Duguxia snorted: "Tsk, I'm not blind, how could I not recognize it?"
"Then what's Brother Dugu doing in Yangzhou?" Lu Chen changed the subject and asked.
Duguxia laughed loudly and said: "Yangzhou is holding a Qianlong Competition. It is such a grand event. How could I, Xiaoyaoke, not come?"
"That's right, it suits your temperament!" Lu Chen nodded immediately after hearing this.
Duguxia joked and said with a smile: "I heard that you also participated in this competition, and your performance was quite impressive. However, with your current strength, it will be easy to win the first place, and you will be famous all over the world! If the big shots in the eight major sects know that you have made a breakthrough,
Now that I’m born, I’m afraid my eyeballs will fall all over the place, haha, I have the same demeanor as I did back then!”
Lu Chen shook his head and said: "You think of this Qianlong Competition too easily!"
