Chapter 169: 169, [Mom will chop off your head with one stroke]

The altar within the Secret Realm was vast, its surroundings appeared empty and spacious. Embedded in the stone walls were luminous objects crafted from unique materials, casting a dim glow throughout the Secret Realm.

The altar was approximately the size of two football fields, with countless strange creatures carved on the ground, resembling totems, the meaning of which was beyond Lu Xun’s comprehension.

They were ferocious and eerie!

In the absolute center of the altar was a semi-transparent pearl. The mysterious man’s dark purple blood dripped onto this pearl.

Each droplet that fell was absorbed by the pearl.

“Is this a blood sacrifice or blood refinement?” Lu Xun thought as he observed the scene.

But he clearly apprehended that now was not the time for pondering such matters!

Observing the strange man, the information he got was merely a series of question marks, indicating that the man was enormously dangerous and of much higher Level than him!

Lu Xun was completely surprised, exceedingly so, to find someone in this Secret Realm.

In his memory, his previous guild had successfully obtained the key to this place. Due to a series of fortunate events, they managed to enter the Secret Realm.

Of course, saying it was a fluke didn’t seem entirely accurate. Perhaps they were guided by something!

Afterward, the guild turned the Secret Realm into their own secret base…

They believed that they had gained control over the ownerless mysterious place!

This secret base, which they used for many years, was carefully developed by them and then… it was destroyed overnight on the day the Foreign Race invaded.

Their home was lost just like that.

Setting up their homestead on a blood-stained altar was truly a bold move.

However, this indirectly proved that, during that period and those years before the invasion of the Foreign Race, this Secret Realm was very safe!

If anyone had been there, they would have detected the suicidal guild early on.

But as a matter of fact, while those guild members were tampering with the altar for all those years, nothing happened.

“So… Did I come too early?” The thought pulsed in Lu Xun’s mind.

Judging from the current situation, the sacrificial altar might not have been fully formed yet!

Or perhaps it wasn’t about being unformed, but merely that there was something the mysterious man needed to do.

If he had arrived just a little later, this altar would be in a state of prolonged desolation.

This unexpected situation rendered Lu Xun somewhat at a loss.

He thought he could take advantage of the altar’s deserted state to “steal home”.

The mysterious man standing at the center of the altar seemed taken aback as well.

Not tall, possibly half a head shorter than Lu Xun, the man was ordinarily unattractive, the kind that does not draw attention.

He too was wearing a black robe, which although not as stunning as Lu Xun’s, was still of good quality.

His demeanor was also quite ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary.

When he saw Lu Xun, his eyes conveyed complex emotions.

First, he looked at the necklace in Lu Xun’s hand, his eyes full of joy and blame. Then, seeming to realize something, he bellowed, “Who are you!?”

“Shit! So you thought I was one of your own just a few seconds ago!” Lu Xun said in his mind.

He saw me holding the same type of necklace, and initially took me as an ally?

“I’m your daddy!” Lu Xun replied in his mind.

But the words that left his lips were, “Sorry, I must have gotten lost.”

Having said that, he immediately channeled his Spiritual Power into the necklace, teleporting himself out of the Secret Realm.

“Run! Can’t linger here!”

“It’s fatal!”

Lu Xun was decisive, directly teleporting himself out of the Secret Realm.

The mysterious man alone was left in the Secret Realm in utter chaos, with a look of utter confusion on his face.

Although he didn’t know the man’s exact status and he didn’t even know whether the man was from the Heavenly Dust Continent, he knew for certain that he was going to kill him!

After leaving the Secret Realm, Lu Xun hesitated not a bit and directly took out the paper crane, then retrieved the Godspeed Talisman given by his third elder brother from the storage ring.

After pouring Spiritual Power into it, he stimulated the Godspeed Talisman, and the paper crane flew out of the mountain at an unimaginable speed!

“Leave here, as long as I run far, I’ll be safe. He shouldn’t dare to chase too far,” Lu Xun thought.

His Divine Sense could sense that the other party was also in pursuit, which led him to instinctively draw out all the Sword Qi stored in the Sword Sheath. Hundreds of Sword Qi that had been nurtured in the sheath for a long time were reluctantly blasted towards the pursuer by Lu Xun.

The Godspeed Talisman from the third elder brother had an immediate effect – Lu Xun was flying at several times his usual speed. Even a cultivator above the fifth level might not be as fast as him!

He could feel that the volley of Sword Qi he unleashed did not cause any harm to the man.

The man raised his right hand towards the sky, and the pearl on the necklace in Lu Xun’s hand began to flash with an eerie glow!

“He can control it!” Lu Xun quickly threw the necklace away, but it was too late.

In an instant, the bead on the necklace shattered, and the fragments started to fly towards Lu Xun!

Perhaps because of the surprising speed of the paper crane under the influence of the Godspeed Talisman, they did not hit Lu Xun. They only grazed his robe and then tore the paper crane apart.

The damaged paper crane, along with Lu Xuan, were falling at a rapid speed!

Then, the mysterious man could only watch as Lu Xun took out a brand new paper crane and another fresh Godspeed Talisman.

Thanks to the generous third elder brother for providing the materials for Artifact Refining and three Godspeed Talismans!

Although Lu Xun was bleeding profusely at this moment, it was not like he had any other choice.

The other person’s strength was likely to be above the fifth level!

As someone who also had a senior account, he knew the huge gap between the fifth level and the Initial Realm.

Although he could replace the paper crane and the Godspeed Talisman at this moment, and though he was moving swiftly, he still wasn’t sure he could get away.

Just in this fraction of a second, it was enough for the man to kill him!

A ripple spread out in mid-air, like a wave sweeping over Lu Xun and the paper crane, and hitting them both.

The man didn’t attempt to kill him, seeming to intend on capturing Lu Xun alive.

He didn’t know what secret technique the mysterious man used, but somehow managed to immobilize Lu Xun in the air, unable to move.

“Damn it!” Lu Xun cursed silently in his heart.

He watched helplessly as the man, with a puzzled and contemplative look on his face, slowly floated up from the top of Mt. Taishan and flew towards him.

Another man who needs no object to fly, this is at least the fifth level!

Just as he was reaching Lu Xun, noises came from all around.

“Humph! Dare to touch my little junior brother!?”

The voice seemed to come from nowhere, and then Lu Xun heard the sound he recognized – a clear and pleasant ringing of a bicycle bell!

A dazzling, incomparable Knife Qi was produced in the dark night. It was heading towards the man in mid-air at a high speed!

The expression of the mysterious man changed drastically, a trace of horror was in his eyes!

The next moment, Lu Xun heard a familiar voice shouting-

“I’ll slice your head off with a single blow!”
