Seeing how determined Lu Chen was, Shangguan Zixi's heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions.

But then again, if it wasn't so, how could she give up her heart to that man?

Even now, not only had there not been any change, it had sunk deeper and deeper into the ground.

Shangguan Zixi looked at Lu Chen's back and suddenly felt that it was completely overlapping with the person she had been thinking about day and night.

Perhaps in the eyes of the bystanders, Lu Chen's figure looked frail, but in Shangguan Zixi's eyes, he was as solid as Mt. Tai, giving off a sense of security.

However, when Lu Chen's aura was finally released, she suddenly had another feeling.

This young man was indeed confident.

He was absolutely not just a hot-headed individual, but he had the means to fight against Sima Xiu Zhu and put himself in an invincible position …

It was because for the past 18 years, she had hoped that Lu Qingtian and his wife would be free.

That was an Earth-ranked magic formation. If he wanted to break it, he would have to use an Earth-ranked magic array.

In this Age of Chaos, it was almost impossible to break through to the Earth Stage.

This was also the reason why she was able to rush over after hearing the news.

At this time, Sima Xiu Zhu had already begun moving.

His actions were not the slightest bit slow, but on the contrary, it was abnormally concise and straightforward.

Sima Xiu Zhu's foot stepped off the ground.

"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~"

Lu Chen was at least twenty meters away from Sima Xiu Zhu, but he could clearly feel that the ground was about to cave in at any moment!

It wasn't because of Sima Xiu Zhu's kick, but because Lu Chen could clearly see that he wasn't wearing shoes.

The soles of his feet were as wide as a human head!

In addition, what truly surprised Lu Chen was that Sima Xiu Zhu's feet seemed to be connected to the ground.

His feet were like a part of the earth!

This was not a visual error, but rather, Lu Chen felt that the Qi on his body had indeed perfectly fused with the earth.

Then, Sima Xiu Zhu suddenly started to run.

Starting from where Lu Chen was standing, mud and sand seemed to be alive, gus.h.i.+ng out of the ground like a wave and sweeping up towards him.

The moment before the mud and sand moved, Lu Chen bellowed and leaped into the air. He was at least ten meters tall.

At this moment, Sima Liuyun, who had just received quite a bit of shock, was silently standing there.

A trace of ruthlessness was reflected in his cold eyes. He was actually secretly gathering his strength and preparing to attack at any moment.

Of course, his target wasn't Lu Chen, but Shangguan Zixi, who was at the side.

From Sima Liuyun's point of view, the outcome of the battle was already decided when Sima Xiu Zhu attacked. There was no suspense at all.

If he interfered rashly, not only would he lose the Sima family's face, but he would also cause Sima Xiu Zhu some displeasure.

Although he, Sima Liuyun, was full of arrogance, he was very clear in his heart. Compared to Sima Xiu Zhu, his arrogance was only on the surface, whereas his arrogance went deep into the marrow of his bones.

Therefore, since Sima Xiu Zhu was the one who acted, the others absolutely should not help him. Otherwise, they would think that they were looking down on him and had done bad things for him out of the kindness of their hearts.

It was enough for him to deal with Lu Chen.

At this moment, Duanmu w.a.n.g closed his eyes. His brows were furrowed and his body was trembling slightly.

Shangguan Zixi's appearance just now had been a minor interlude, but the actual problem had still not been resolved.

The earthen yellow python looked extremely c.u.mbersome and was thirty feet wide, but its movements were exceptionally agile. It was about to touch Lu Chen's body.

With the help of the Skythunder Steps, Lu Chen's speed was no slower than the earthen yellow python.

In the blink of an eye, the giant python formed from the yellow sand surrounded Lu Chen so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

This Quasi-Earth Tier Taoist of the Undying Land was similar in origin ability compared to Sima Yun's Quicksand Technique, but there was a qualitative difference.

The Quicksand Technique focused on resolving the situation quickly, leaving almost no room for the enemy to react and struggle.

And the undying regions tended to consume more energy and engage in protracted battles.

This kind of Dao technique used one's own Zhen Qi source as a primer to draw upon the power of the world.

Any Dao arts that could draw upon the power of heaven and earth for their own use, other than obtaining a significant increase in strength, would also greatly reduce their body's consumption.

With this qualitative difference, even if Sima Xiu was able to unleash a dozen or so pythons, not only would each pythons be astonis.h.i.+ngly powerful, their aura would also be extraordinary. However, to him, the caster, this was not really a huge consumption.

This kind of Dao technique that could use the power of the heavens and the earth also had its limits.

Within a certain range of regions, Sima Xiu Zhu was more affected by the area.

Once he used his Immortal Land, as the spellcaster, he would have to stay in the origin area, which was equivalent to the core of the formation.

As a result, Sima Xiu could only maintain the connection with Heaven and Earth in a limited location.

At this time, even if Lu Chen knew Sima Xiu Zhu's weakness and was trapped within the giant python, he would still not be able to escape in a short period of time.

Although Sima Xiu Zhu's power didn't originate from his own body, it wasn't at all inferior to Sima Xian's.

By relying solely on the power of karmic virtue, Lu Chen was not completely confident in defeating his opponent with the Everlasting Thunder Curse's Palm.
