My cells devour all worlds.

"Father, Sheng-ge—"

Shen Qingshu was unwilling to abandon the two of them, but Madam Lu held his shoulders firmly.

With tears welling in her eyes, Madam Lu tried her best not to look at Shen Tianxiong. "Qingshu, only by surviving can anything be possible. Quickly take Wanqing and leave with your mother."

Zhao Ming then called to the other bodyguards and porters who had gathered earlier, "Let's go! Don't let the chief bodyguard's efforts go to waste."

Shen Qingshu was well aware of this principle.

Just as he was thinking of taking one last look before leaving.

But I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Despite the group's blatant and open scheme, Eunuch Chen remained completely unmoved.

I even found it a little funny.

Two mere top-tier experts dare to try and stop him?

He just didn't want it to end so quickly.

He could take care of everyone here in an instant if he wanted to.

Perfect timing! He's getting a little bored; it's time to end this!

Eunuch Chen raised his palm, and powerful internal energy suddenly gathered, merged, compressed, and then he lightly slapped out a palm.

An invisible palm of true energy followed, tearing through the air and creating a gust of wind that rushed towards Lu Sheng with a shrill cry.

It hadn't even reached them yet; they were only touched by the lingering force of its emanation.

Deep gashes instantly appeared in the ground, demonstrating its power.

Upon seeing this, Shen Tianxiong's pupils dilated, and he quickened his pace, his broadsword already gathering power.

He roared, "You old dog, come at me if you dare!"

"..."

Despite being the target of that palm strike, Lu Sheng's eyes, still slightly bloodshot from staying up all night, remained completely calm.

He merely twisted his slightly stiff neck, and suddenly exhaled a breath of scarlet air from his nostrils.

In an instant, a scarlet aura spread throughout Lu Sheng's entire body, as if he were wearing a set of crimson armor.

At the same time, Lu Sheng's physique also expanded considerably, directly tightening his loose clothes and revealing the outline of his muscles.

next moment.

The ground where Lu Sheng was standing suddenly caved in, but instead of dodging, Lu Sheng rushed forward.

In mid-air, the fist, carrying violent blood and energy, drew a perfect arc and crashed into the palm of true energy.

The moment the two made contact, a terrifying shockwave erupted, causing everyone in the courtyard to sway and almost unable to open their eyes.

"Qi, Blood, True Qi? A master of external martial arts!"

Eunuch Chen's nonchalant expression finally changed, and a hint of relief even flashed through his mind. "If a few more years had passed, our family might not have been a match for you. It's just a pity..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Sheng had already shattered the palm of true energy and arrived in front of Eunuch Chen.

A scarlet fist instantly came into his line of sight.

"...Unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs'."

After calmly finishing the last half of his sentence, Eunuch Chen circulated his internal energy, instantly creating a protective shield of qi on his body.

"boom!"

The fist slammed into the protective aura barrier, like a pebble hitting the surface of water, creating ripples.

In an instant, Eunuch Chen realized just how terribly wrong he had been.

Although the protective aura barrier did not break, the force emanating from it was terrifying.

As the protective shield trembled violently, an immense force that could not be completely dissipated pushed against the protective shield, forcefully sending Eunuch Chen flying.

Just as he was about to follow in Yue Shan's footsteps, Eunuch Chen suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end.

Before he could react.

Lu Sheng's figure had already arrived in the path he was bound to take as he flew backward, and a vicious knee strike was delivered in an instant.

The protective aura trembled violently once more, and Eunuch Chen was thrown uncontrollably into the air, heading straight for the sky.

"you……"

Sensing the rapid loss of his internal energy, Chen Ruohai finally panicked.

He hurriedly tried to control his body and steady himself, not wanting to be led by Lu Sheng.

Just as Eunuch Chen regained his footing in mid-air, he looked up and his pupils suddenly shrank to a tiny dot.

Suddenly, Lu Sheng appeared above his head and made a downward kicking motion.

The towering figure blotted out the sky, descending like a mountain, and stomped heavily on his chest.

Zhenyue Gong - Fallen Star!

"Boom—"

Like a meteor falling to the ground, Eunuch Chen crashed to the ground with even greater speed, raising a cloud of dust.

The protective shield of qi could no longer withstand the massive bombardment and shattered completely in less than half a breath.

It didn't even make it to the ground.

"Eunuch Chen, the princess has asked you to..."

On the courtyard wall, Qingli, who had just wanted to ask Eunuch Chen to spare Lu Sheng's life, couldn't utter the second half of her sentence.

Feeling Lu Sheng's gaze fall upon her, Qing Li was instantly terrified. Without saying a word, she used all her strength to flee into the distance.

They dared not linger for even a moment.

Lu Sheng glanced at it and then looked away, without giving chase.

Who knows if this is a diversionary tactic?

As he landed, the dust and smoke on the ground had mostly dissipated.

A large crater suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and Eunuch Chen lay right in the center, his limbs twisted, his chest sunken, and blood flowing from his seven orifices.

Only his eyes were still moving slightly, staring intently at Lu Sheng, indicating that he was still alive.

Eunuch Chen's lips trembled as he uttered a whisper that only he could hear.

"No sportsmanship... trying to deceive, trying to ambush..."

He understood perfectly well that Lu Sheng had deliberately held back his strength in order to make him lower his guard.

Just then, Shen Tianxiong arrived, knife in hand.

He glanced at Lu Sheng, who was unharmed, and then at Eunuch Chen, who was barely clinging to life in the pit.

He fell silent instantly, unsure where to aim his knife.

Behind.

Shen Qingshu was already so shocked that he was somewhat numb and didn't know what to say. He just stared blankly ahead.

Especially Lu Sheng, who had just returned to his original appearance, felt as if he were seeing the other person for the first time.

After a while, Shen Qingshu was still somewhat incredulous. He couldn't help but push the hand that Madam Lu had placed on his shoulder and said, "Mother, hit me and see if this is true."

Madam Lu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, paused for a moment, and then slapped Shen Qingshu hard across the shoulder where he had been injured before.

"Oh my god, Mom, are you serious?!"

Shen Qingshu immediately winced in pain.

They also successfully woke up a group of people.

"Young Master Lu won?!"

"Young Master Lu is a master of external martial arts?!"

"Young Master Lu defeated a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm?!"

Each piece of information is more shocking than the last.

Zhao Ming looked at Lu Sheng with complicated emotions. He felt a little embarrassed when he thought about how he had been angry with Lu Sheng for saying that his Cloud Piercing Spear was too simple.

I wish I could find a crack to crawl into right now.

Lu Sheng's previous spear thrust was clearly the final move of his Zhao family's Piercing Cloud Spear Technique, "Piercing Clouds," and Lu Sheng's execution was many times more skillful than Lu Sheng's.

Fortunately, no one noticed his expression; everyone was cheering for Lu Sheng's victory over Eunuch Chen.

"Young Master Lu has won!"

Su Qi hugged Liu Er and cried bitterly, "Waaah... Brother Liu, you're my brother from now on."

If Liu Er hadn't held him back, he might have run away in fear like the others, or been too scared to move at all.

How could it be like this, where one can shout out loud and proudly say that they didn't back down just now?

Some people are happy but others are sad.

P.S.: Eunuch Chen: If only I had said what needed to be said properly that day...
