Chapter 121: Turning Against His Uncle, He Loses His Martial Arts!
Below the steps of Xuantian Palace, a cold wind howled past, carrying snowflakes.
Lu Xuanqing, wearing a golden mask, stood there silently, radiating a suffocating aura. His gaze swept over Lu Jingchen, finally settling on the half of the Dragon's Lair jade pendant in his hand, a greedy glint in his eyes.
"Twenty years have passed, and that traitor Lu Xuanfeng still couldn't protect this half of the jade pendant." Lu Xuanqing's voice carried a hint of smugness. "Did he think he could escape my grasp by hiding in the deep mountains? He was wrong. Not only will he die, but the disciple he taught will also die here today."
Lu Jingchen gripped the jade pendant tightly, his eyes icy cold enough to freeze a person: "Lu Xuanqing, you killed my master's wife, betrayed my sect, and caused the death of the old sect leader. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Divine retribution?" Lu Xuanqing burst into laughter, his voice filled with madness. "I am the heavens! Once I open the dragon's lair and obtain the power of chaos, I will be the supreme ruler of the three realms! At that time, heaven and earth will obey my commands, and who will dare to condemn me?"
He suddenly waved his hand, and a dense black demonic aura erupted from his body: "Lu Jingchen, for the sake of you being my nephew, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the jade pendant, kneel down and acknowledge me as the sect leader, and I can spare your dog's life and even make you the Left Protector of the Xuanmen, second only to the sect leader."
"Dream on!" Lu Jingchen roared. "I'm here today to avenge my master, my mistress, the old sect leader, and everyone you've killed!"
"You're courting death!" Lu Xuanqing's face darkened, and he flashed, instantly appearing in front of Lu Jingchen. His palm, condensed with black demonic energy, slammed down on Lu Jingchen's chest. This palm strike contained chaotic power; wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sizzling sound.
Su Muyue's expression changed drastically: "Lu Jingchen, be careful!"
Lu Jingchen neither dodged nor evaded, and instead struck out with his own palm. The golden true energy and the black demonic energy collided, producing a deafening roar.
"Bang!"
The massive shockwave spread outwards, instantly shattering the stone slabs at the entrance of Xuantian Palace. Dozens of Xuanmen disciples standing at the forefront were blasted away, coughing up blood.
Lu Jingchen took three steps back to steady himself. Lu Xuanqing, surprisingly, also took two steps back, a hint of surprise on his face: "I didn't expect you to be able to withstand a palm strike with thirty percent of my power. It seems that traitor Lu Xuanfeng taught you all his skills. But unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, everything is in vain."
He charged forward again, this time with all his might. Black demonic energy condensed around him, forming a gigantic demonic dragon that lunged at Lu Jingchen with bared fangs and claws. Wherever the demonic dragon passed, even ice and snow were corroded into black liquid.
"Is this the power of chaos? It's truly sinister." Lu Jingchen's eyes narrowed, and his hands quickly formed hand seals. "Master, today I will use the Pure Yang Technique you taught me to cleanse the sect!"
"Pure Yang, Limitless!"
With his roar, a dazzling golden beam of light shot into the sky from his body. The golden light dispelled the surrounding demonic energy, coalescing into a giant golden dragon that collided with the black demonic dragon.
"roar--!"
Two giant dragons were tearing at each other wildly in the air, their golden and black lights intertwining and illuminating the entire summit of Kunlun Mountain.
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Lu Xuanqing shouted in disbelief, "The Pure Yang Technique has been lost for a long time! How could that traitor Lu Xuanfeng possibly know the Pure Yang Technique?"
"There are many things you don't know." Lu Jingchen sneered. "The old sect leader saw through your evil intentions long ago, so before he passed away, he passed on the true essence of the Pure Yang Technique to my master. It was so that one day, someone could stop you, this madman."
He suddenly increased his output of true energy, and the golden dragon let out a deafening roar, biting off the black dragon's neck. The black dragon turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
The golden dragon, its momentum undiminished, pounced towards Lu Xuanqing.
Lu Xuanqing's expression changed drastically, and he quickly crossed his arms to protect his chest.
"Bang!"
The golden dragon slammed into him. Lu Xuanqing let out a piercing scream and was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the gate of Xuantian Palace.
The golden mask shattered, revealing an old and ferocious face. Black blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with resentment and bitterness.
"Lu Xuanqing, you've lost." Lu Jingchen walked up to him step by step, looking down at him. "Now, it's time for you to pay your debt."
"I haven't lost! I can't possibly lose!" Lu Xuanqing shouted frantically. "I still have a trump card! I've already activated the Dragon's Lair formation! Lord Chaos is about to emerge! You'll all die! You'll all be buried with me!"
Just then, the entire Kunlun Mountains suddenly began to shake violently. In the distant valley, a black pillar of light shot into the sky, and a nauseatingly evil aura surged over everything.
"Hahaha! Did you see that? Lord Chaos is coming out!" Lu Xuanqing laughed maniacally. "You'll all die! Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"
Lu Jingchen's expression changed, and he was about to make a move when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Dozens of Xuanmen disciples, armed with weapons, rushed over.
Lu Xuanqing's eyes lit up: "Perfect timing! Quick! Kill them! Lord Chaos will surely reward us handsomely if we kill them!"
However, instead of rushing towards Lu Jingchen, the Xuanmen disciples turned around in unison and aimed their weapons at Lu Xuanqing.
The leading elder bowed deeply to Lu Jingchen: "Master Lu, we have long had enough of Lu Xuanqing's brutal rule! To open the Dragon's Lair, he has killed countless innocent people, not even sparing our own disciples! We are willing to submit to you and join you in stopping Lu Xuanqing and sealing away Chaos!"
"That's right! We are willing to submit to Master Lu!"
"That beast Lu Xuanqing should have died long ago!"
The other Xuanmen disciples also laid down their weapons and bowed to Lu Jingchen.
Lu Xuanqing was completely stunned, staring at them in disbelief: "You...you actually dared to betray me? I've treated you all very well!"
"You've treated us well?" The elder sneered. "You killed my son to cultivate your evil arts! You slaughtered my entire family to capture young boys and girls as sacrifices! We've wanted to kill you for a long time! Today, we will avenge all those you've harmed!"
Lu Jingchen looked at Lu Xuanqing's despairing face without a flicker of emotion. He raised his hand, and a golden burst of true energy shot out, crippling Lu Xuanqing's martial arts.
"Ah—! My martial arts! My martial arts!" Lu Xuanqing let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground. "Lu Jingchen! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
"You don't even deserve to be a human being, yet you want to be a ghost?" Lu Jingchen said coldly. "Once the chaos is sealed, I will hand you over to the police and let you face the punishment of the law. You have killed so many people, and only the death penalty awaits you."
Having said that, he didn't look at Lu Xuanqing again, but turned to all the Xuanmen disciples and said, "Everyone, follow me! Let's go to the Dragon's Lair and stop the Chaos from breaking free!"
"Yes, Master Lu!"
All the disciples of the Xuanmen responded in unison, their voices loud and clear, echoing through the sky.
Su Muyue walked to Lu Jingchen's side and gently took his hand: "Lu Jingchen, let's go together."
Lu Jingchen nodded, his gaze fixed firmly on the spot where the black pillar of light was rising in the distance.
Chaos, here I come.
Today, I will seal you away completely, so that you can never harm humanity again.
