Starting with Mingyu Gong, the Soul-Chasing and Life-Stealing Technique

Lu Chen knew that the level of strength wasn't just about one's cultivation realm, but also the depth of one's inner power, the sophistication of one's techniques, and most importantly, how one performed. Therefore, he had to keep his mind calm!

Similarly, if an opponent is impatient and agitated, he will reveal his weaknesses, so from the moment he steps out of the crowd.

The assassination attempt had already begun.

Tang Tianlong, seeing Lu Chen dressed in coarse cloth, unremarkable at all, with a bamboo stick tucked into his waistband, was filled with curiosity. Hearing this, he found it even more amusing, thinking, "Where did this country bumpkin come from, spouting 'Friends from afar, though far away, shall be punished'?" He nodded slightly and said, "It is fate that friends can come. Saying 'though far away, shall be punished' is inappropriate."

Lu Chen stared at him, the Mingyu Gong flowing through his body, his mind clear and calm, devoid of excitement or fervor, only indifference. He said, "I've heard you've practiced martial arts for over twenty years, and are invincible throughout the martial world?"

Tang Tianlong was taken aback, thinking, "I've been practicing martial arts since I was four, for over twenty years indeed, but how come I don't know about this 'unrivaled in the martial world'?" Then he realized, "His accent isn't local; so my reputation has spread that far." He involuntarily puffed out his chest and smiled, "The rumors in the martial world are just a friend's kind gesture and a senior's magnanimity. This little bit of fame is nothing!"

Lu Chen found it inexplicably amusing: "You're getting cocky now that I'm calling you fat." He nodded and said, "Alright, then this battle won't be child's play. My goal is to determine the victor and decide life or death!"

Lu Chen came here to kill people.

Based on his past life as a "model youth," killing someone for personal gain, regardless of whether there was any enmity between them and the victim, would naturally be subject to moral condemnation.

However, having the original owner's memories, he was well aware of the darkness of this world. For the sake of his family's wealth, his relatives were able to frame him for sleeping with his stepmother during his father's funeral.

Do you believe it?

Unsurprisingly, everyone believed him and kicked him out without hesitation. To prevent him from practicing martial arts in the future, they even stabbed him in the dantian.

Therefore, Lu Chen felt that in this world, all morality, right and wrong, and human conscience were empty until he became invincible.

Then Tang Tianlong is doomed!

As for how he will die, that still needs to be carefully planned.

Even so, upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Tang Tianlong's originally gentle face turned pale, and the entire audience was stunned.

Silence was followed by uproar.

"Are you crazy?"

Even an elder from the Tang family standing on the side of the stage was extremely shocked.

It's not that no one dared to kill Tang Tianlong.

But I didn't expect this method.

To say something like that in front of everyone shows a complete disregard for the Tang family!

"Arrogant!" A sharp shout rang out, and a figure lunged onto the stage, yelling, "You little bastard, how dare you be so rude! Take a punch from the Buddha first!"

This man was burly, with long, flowing hair held back by a gleaming copper band. He wore a bright red robe and was none other than the monk with flowing hair who had fought the fat man earlier.

Everyone saw how easily Tang Tianlong manipulated him, but Lu Chen's words implied that he was just playing house, so naturally he rushed onto the stage to teach Lu Chen a lesson.

This monk was burly and powerful, possessing internal strength that emanated from within, indicating he had reached the Meridian Opening Realm.

This "Tiger Claw Kung Fu" move was like a tiger descending a mountain, the wind whipping up the sleeves, and the veins on the arm bulging out, like a dense mass of earthworms.

Seeing that his attack was very powerful and aggressive, Lu Chen did not try to fight back, but gently stepped aside.

The monk's claw missed its mark, and before he could change his move, Lu Chen suddenly reached out with his left hand, using the "Steal the Sheep" move from the Great Capturing Hand.

Originally, this move was meant to target the monk's vital points on the side, but Lu Chen grabbed his long hair, spun around, and swung his arm.

The fat monk was involuntarily sent flying, and with a loud "bang!", a cloud of dust rose from below the platform.

After the initial shock, everyone was also excited.

I think this uninvited guest is quite capable; this is going to be quite a show.

Lu Chen smiled calmly and said, "You should be grateful that the Animal Association saved you!"

The monk was thrown around in a daze, and everyone else was completely stunned!

They were both shocked by Lu Chen's methods and puzzled by this animal association.

Lu Chen is an anomaly. Simply put, if he wanted to kill this monk, one move would suffice!

This is the way of martial arts. In terms of cultivation level, Lu Chen, a mere piece of trash who hasn't even opened up the twelve meridians, is naturally inferior to the monk.

However, the Mingyu Gong he cultivated was a top-tier divine skill in the ancient dragon world. The initial principle of this internal skill was refining essence into qi.

The martial arts masters of this world, though possessing indestructible and powerful abilities capable of moving mountains and filling seas, owe their strength to their environment. The essence contained in the air is beyond imagination, allowing them to cultivate quickly and reach higher limits when absorbing martial arts techniques.

Most martial arts geniuses strive for higher levels of skill within their limited lives, hoping to reach the pinnacle.

However, martial arts, similar to those in the worlds of Jin Yong and Gu Long, reach a certain level where there is no further advancement. Even unparalleled martial arts masters like Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng could only ultimately study how to achieve mental clarity and focus, combat skills, and the purity of their internal energy.

Therefore, the ancient top-tier divine skill "Mingyu Gong" is by no means weaker than any other divine skill in this world at the low level of Qi cultivation!

Furthermore, this Great Capturing Hand is a technique that Shaolin Temple has honed over a thousand years, while the "Seventy-Two Ways of Deadly Soul-Chasing Sword" is the lifelong skill of Master Wuchen, known as the "Number One Swordsman Under Heaven" in the world of Book and Sword. Lu Chen has mastered it after ten years of training, so he is good at finding weaknesses and striking with one blow.

Lu Chen possesses these three unique skills, which gives him exceptional internal strength and keen eyesight, allowing him to target the monk's weaknesses with every move.

Although the bull was large and strong, how could it possibly defeat a tiger? However, Lu Chen didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble before killing Tang Tianlong, and besides, killing such a creature wouldn't bring much reward, so he held back.

Tang Tianlong nodded slightly: "Impressive skill. Who are you? If you wish to fight me to the death, you should at least give an explanation!"

Lu Chen calmly said, "Your Tang family has done many good deeds. I was entrusted by someone to take your life, but there's a saying in the martial world: leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. You might as well just take down this arena, and I won't take your life in front of your Tang family elders!"

"hiss--"

Everyone gasped in shock.

"What the hell? Who is this kid?"

Anyone who isn't stupid would understand what it meant.

If you, Tang Tianlong, are scared, then hurry up and go find your father. Stop swaggering around here!

Tang Tianlong had come here to show off his power, and if he were to back down in the face of an unknown young man, he would lose face terribly, which would be worse than death.

"Hehe..." Tang Tianlong sized up Lu Chen again. He looked to be in his early twenties with an unremarkable appearance. He hadn't taken Lu Chen seriously before, but now he thought to himself, "This kid has humiliated me in front of everyone. He deserves to die!" He sneered, "Since you look down on me so much, no matter who you are from, I, Tang, though not very talented, will definitely have to learn from your skills!" His expression was extremely serious.

Lu Chen glanced at him, his arrogant demeanor evident as he said, "Forget it. Considering the chivalrous nature of your Tang family elders and the presence of others, you should just go home and not make things difficult for me!"

"Difficult to handle?" A cold glint flashed in Tang Tianlong's eyes as he thought, "You've bullied me like this; if I don't make you bleed on the martial arts stage, how can I, Tang Tianlong, claim to be a martial artist!" He said, "A martial artist who fears swords and knives cannot be considered a true man. Make your move!"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, I won't be coy. The method I cultivate is all about killing. If these hands of mine can kill someone like Young Master Tang, my martial arts will surely reach a higher level."

"Likewise!" Tang Tianlong sneered, "You think your grappling skills are so great? Watch me turn you into a roasted pig!" He swayed slightly and then slashed out with a palm.
