The man in black was the leader of this operation, and he knew better than anyone that he was doomed.
Even if Lu Chen lets him go, he will still be executed after returning to the Black Clothes Tower.
There was simply no other way out.
Therefore, he would rather die than reveal a single word.
"Not going to talk?"
When Lu Chen saw the man in black adopt a look of resignation to death, his dantian suddenly contracted.
"Want to self-destruct? You think you can just self-destruct in front of me?"
Lu Chen revealed a disdainful expression and directly forced a burst of chaotic power into the man's dantian, instantly suppressing the man's energy.
The man in black looked horrified.
To my utter surprise, this person's strength was even more terrifying than I had imagined. He was only a sixth-level Star Realm cultivator, yet he was able to seal my dantian. It was terrifying.
Lu Chen originally intended to temporarily seal the person with the power of chaos to prevent him from self-destructing, but he never expected that after this wisp of chaotic power came into contact with the other party's dantian, it would start to frantically devour the power within his dantian.
"how so?"
Lu Chen had previously tried to input the power of chaos into another person's body, which could temporarily trap their dantian and even seal their cultivation. So far, nothing had gone wrong.
But this time, it's different.
Lu Chen was surprised to find that his chaotic power completely covered the opponent's dantian, and in the blink of an eye, he devoured one-third of the opponent's energy.
"You can do that?"
Lu Chen felt a slight increase in strength after absorbing this energy, and he was overjoyed.
"Haha! I thought the Chaos Divine Body could only devour the energy of nature, but I didn't expect it could even devour the energy of others! This is amazing!"
Since that's the case, Lu Chen won't hold back.
Manipulating the power of chaos and devouring it frantically, the man in black was horrified to discover that his cultivation was constantly regressing. In just a few breaths, the energy in his dantian was completely devoured, and he himself, from a ninth-level Star-level expert, suddenly fell to an ordinary mortal.
Apart from the physical energy still existing, the dantian is now completely empty.
Having cultivated for so many years, he realized that it had all benefited others. Seeing Lu Chen before him, the man in black revealed a hint of fear.
"Where did this monster come from? It's so terrifying."
The man in black was already in despair.
Lu Chen smiled.
"Weren't you going to self-destruct? Go ahead and do it again!"
Lu Chen was carrying the man in black as if he were carrying a dead dog.
The man in black was pale and lifeless, looking as if he had aged considerably in an instant.
Just as the man in black was in a daze, Lu Chen used the Soul Searching Technique to instantly invade his soul. He didn't encounter much resistance and succeeded immediately.
"The Black-Clad Tower?"
However, the men in black didn't know much. They only knew their own identity: they were assassins from the Black Clothes Tower, sent by orders to kill him and bring back his head.
Apart from that, the man in black knew nothing else.
Lu Chen was greatly disappointed. He killed the man and took the Qiankun Ring from his finger. A burst of fire erupted from the man in black, instantly burning him to ashes.
"I've actually messed with the Black-Clad Tower, this assassin organization. This is troublesome. I wonder which powerful figure is planning to slaughter me?"
Lu Chen felt a surge of resentment. The most troublesome thing now was that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. He couldn't even find his opponent and had no way to defend himself.
"Since we're here, let's just make the best of it. Who cares? If these Black Cloaked Tower assassins dare to come, I'll wipe them all out. I refuse to believe that a mere assassin organization can do anything to me."
Lu Chen felt a little relieved and suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.
A figure gracefully arrived; it was none other than Xu Ma from Xiaoyao Pavilion, who had been observing from the shadows.
"Young master, are you alright?"
A look of worry appeared on Xu Ma's face, showing her great concern.
But Lu Chen knew that if he were seriously injured, Xu Ma might have a different attitude right now.
Of course, since they were showing such concern for him, he couldn't very well show any hostility, so he smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine."
Xu Ma seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Young master, do you know who these people who came to kill you are?"
Although Lu Chen knew about the Black-Clad Tower, he didn't want to reveal his secret of knowing the Soul-Searching Technique, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know. Do you know, Aunt Xu?"
Xu Ma hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Judging from their attack methods and attire, they should be assassins from the Black-Clad Tower. Does the young master know about this assassin organization, the Black-Clad Tower?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I've heard of it."
Seeing Lu Chen's nonchalant expression, Xu Ma was even more amazed. It seemed that this young master was indeed extraordinary. Otherwise, how could he remain so calm and composed when he heard about such a terrifying Black-Clad Tower assassin? He must have something to rely on.
"Young master, you must be careful! Once the assassins of the Black Clothes Tower accept a mission, they will fight to the death. They will do whatever it takes to eliminate their target. That's why this terrifying assassin organization has been able to grow so powerful."
"Is that so? A fight to the death? Heh."
Lu Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.
If it were before, he would have been a little worried. After all, these assassins were elusive and impossible to guard against, and he didn't know where the Black Clothes Tower's headquarters was located.
