Chapter 10: Liuyun breaks through the realm and walks alone in the blue sky

The corpse of a Dharma master in the Foundation Establishment Stage is the strongest enemy Lu Chen has encountered since he came to the Ancient Cultivator's Tomb.

It is different from the rigid attack method of the Qingxuan Puppet, and also different from the suppression of ordinary Dharma corpses by the Zixia Divine Light.

Ye Chenglin not only has rich combat experience, but the Purple Cloud Divine Light also has no significant suppressing effect on him.

This may be because Lu Chen’s current cultivation level is too low, resulting in the Purple Cloud Divine Light he displayed not having much power.

Or maybe Ye Chenglin has reached a state where he is not afraid of the sun.

But no matter which one it was, Lu Chen could not use the Purple Cloud Divine Light to suppress the corpse as he did before, and then find an opportunity to kill it with one blow.

Therefore, this time he must abandon all tricks and fight Ye Chenglin head-on.

Although using the cultivation level of the second level of Qi training to fight against the Dharma corpse of the foundation building period is like hitting a rock with an egg no matter how you look at it.

But Lu Chen felt that he was not completely without a chance of winning.

Not to mention that Ye Chenglin was seriously injured and only had one arm left, so he could only draw talismans with one hand.

The fact that he failed to prepare talismans in advance was enough to greatly reduce his strength.

If Ye Chenglin was in his prime, Lu Chen would naturally not dare to act rashly.

Unless he upgraded all his skills to the 'Breakthrough Level' and his own cultivation reached the fifth level of the Qi Training Stage or above, Lu Chen felt that he had no chance of winning.

But given Ye Chenglin's current condition, his strength is certainly not as good as before.

As long as he can figure out his cards and get used to his way of attack.

I think there is still a good chance of winning.

"A corpse in the foundation-building stage, I don't know how much of his abilities he has left now..."

With this thought in mind, Lu Chen pushed open the bronze door again and saw Ye Chenglin behind the door.

"Who are you?"

Lu Chen took out the magic sword from his storage bag and gave the same answer as he did the first time.

"Qingyun Sect's servant, Lu Chen."

After saying that, Lu Chen suddenly rushed towards Ye Chenglin.

Knowing that the other party had mastered the superb "Thunder Method", Lu Chen naturally tried his best to get closer to him.

After all, now apart from 'transforming Qi into sword', he has no other effective means of long-range attack.

However, the Qi sword is far inferior to Ye Chenglin's thunder magic in terms of power and speed.

Fighting against someone from a distance is undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg.

However, Lu Chen's sneak attack did not have much effect.

He had just taken a step about ten meters when lightning talismans turned into pitch-black thunder and came towards him.

Facing this ferocious thunder, Lu Chen's figure began to move continuously.

Every time you dodge, a shadow will be left behind.

It creates a certain confusing effect.

[Liuyun Step: Great Mastery 15/4000]

[Effect: When used, you can instantly increase your speed and leave an afterimage at the same place]

Relying on the sneak attack at the beginning, and having been prepared for Ye Chenglin's thunder magic.

This time he rushed ten meters further than the first time, reaching a distance of twenty meters.

Just another eighty meters and he would be able to reach Ye Chenglin.

Unfortunately, the remaining eighty meters became a chasm that Lu Chen could not cross.

His physical skills are certainly good, but to Ye Chenglin... they are just good.

After all, no matter how fast he was, could he be faster than the flashing thunder? Crackling...

Ye Chenglin drew a talisman with one hand, and a large number of thunder talismans began to gather in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, dense thunder talismans flew out of his hands, covering all the areas where Lu Chen could dodge.

There is no doubt that Ye Chenglin's method of winning by quantity is very effective.

Since one thunder talisman can't hit the target, why not use a few more?

Even though he had lost most of his memories, the fighting instinct was still engraved in Ye Chenglin's bones.

This allowed him to choose the fighting style that best suits him in a very short period of time.

Faced with this almost airtight thunder talisman, Lu Chen had no other choice but to use the Purple Cloud Divine Light to protect himself.

After all, he is not yet at the level where he can accurately avoid every bolt of lightning in such a dense array of thunder talismans.

Boom! Dense thunder symbols fell on Lu Chen, causing a violent explosion.

When the dust from the explosion settled, Lu Chen was lying half-dead in the hole created by the thunder talisman.

Ye Chenglin, who was standing on the pile of corpses, looked at him calmly, and then threw out a few thunder talismans.

Second challenge, failed!

[Liuyun Step: Great Mastery 20/4000]

After being resurrected again, Lu Chen was not discouraged, but began to summarize the mistakes he made in the second failure.

Summarizing failure after a battle is an instinct that Lu Chen developed after hundreds of resurrections.

After all, one cannot fall in the same place twice, especially when one has already paid the price of his life.

As the saying goes: People can never teach people; things can only teach people once.

Although Lu Chen seemed to be playing a game at the moment, in immersive mode, he seemed to be truly experiencing everything in the dungeon.

Whether it is fighting with the mage corpses, or the thrill of licking blood on the tip of a knife.

Or the feeling of powerlessness at the moment of death.

All of this was so real, so real that Lu Chen couldn't treat it as a game.

And it is precisely because of this truth that Lu Chen can gain something after every resurrection.

After summarizing and reviewing the situation for another five minutes, Lu Chen stood up again and started his third challenge.

Three minutes later...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After failing the challenge for the third time, Lu Chen spent another five minutes summarizing the failure process, thinking about what mistakes he had made and whether there were any areas that could be further improved.

After repeating this process over and over again, Lu Chen's proficiency in Liuyunbu began to improve at an astonishing rate.

After the 130th challenge failed.

[Your Liuyun Step meets the upgrade conditions and reaches 'Breakthrough']

[Liuyun Bu (Full): Breakthrough]

[Effect: The body is like a flowing cloud, and can walk in the air]

"The Flowing Cloud Step has reached the breakthrough stage. This time I should be able to get close to the Foundation Establishment Stage Dharma Corpse..."

Lu Chen stood up and skillfully pushed open the heavy bronze door, just like he was going home.

As they had fought each other hundreds of times, Lu Chen had skipped the greeting process with Ye Chenglin.

The moment he opened the bronze door, he rushed towards Ye Chenglin with all his strength.

Sneak attack?

Go all out, this is respect for a strong enemy! Seeing this, Ye Chenglin, just like the previous 130 times, started to draw talismans in the air after a brief silence.

"left……"

Lu Chen whispered as he turned quickly.

The next second, a lightning talisman appeared in the air on his left and passed by him.

“Up there…”

Lu Chen bent down suddenly and passed by close to the ground.

At the same time he bent down, another thunder talisman turned into lightning and passed through him.

After dodging the second thunder talisman, Lu Chen did not rush forward, but jumped high.

"below……"

Just as Lu Chen was in the air, the ground beneath his feet suddenly softened into a muddy swamp.

If he had reacted a little slower, he might have stepped on empty air, lost his balance, and been at the mercy of others.

Ye Chenglin raised his head and met Lu Chen's eyes in the air not far away.

And in Ye Chenglin's eyes, Lu Chen saw a look he had never seen before.

This look... is one of astonishment.

It was obvious that Ye Chenglin did not expect that Lu Chen, a mere Qi training cultivator, could dodge his thunder talismans one after another.

And every time it seems as if he can predict the future.

Although Ye Chenglin couldn't figure it out, he was too lazy to think about it anymore.

His only remaining right arm turned into a residual image, and in a short period of time he drew dozens of thunder talismans.

After these thunder talismans appeared, they turned into black thunder and flew towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, who has not yet reached the foundation-building stage, does not have the ability to fly with a sword for the time being.

In other words, he currently does not have the ability to move in the air.

But that's under normal circumstances.

Flowing Cloud Step! Lu Chen stepped into the air, and the invisible air immediately rippled like water waves.

With the help of this reaction force, he kept moving in the air, shuttling between thunder talismans.

Not long after, he, who had never been able to get close to Ye Chenglin, actually came closer to Ye Chenglin.

Lu Chen held the magic sword in one hand and looked calmly at Ye Chenglin below.

"This time, it's my turn to play."

Sword technique...Water Dragon Song!
