Two low-rank Earth Realm martial artists fell in a row. The situation instantly reversed, becoming unstoppable.

He hastily lifted Shangguan Zixi who was standing to one side with one arm and stomped on the ground. Lightning flashed and he swiftly executed the Maoshan Heavenly Lightning Steps.

Borrowing the aid of the shocking speed of the Heavenly Thunder Steps, Lu Chen immediately turned into a dark purple stream of light and moved to the other side. In the blink of an eye, he picked up Han Xi Yi who was on the ground.

At this moment, Lu Chen only had one thought in mind. No matter what, he had to get these two out and protect them thoroughly.

Of the two, one was infatuated with her father, while the other was completely devoted to her. They did not hold anything back, and no matter what, they could not let them die like this.

However, the two of them suffered such heavy injuries. Not only were they struck by the green dragon's origin energy, they were also hit by the backlash from the energy. Their situation was truly worrisome.

Now, even a normal citizen with a kitchen knife would be able to kill them both.

However, this single trip by Lu Chen had only delayed him by a sliver, but it had exposed him completely to the force of the Azure Dragon's frenzied charge before it died.

Lu Chen felt a chill on his back. An indescribable force struck his body, causing a sweet feeling to rise in his heart. He couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

This force had already surpa.s.sed the peak of low-grade earth-step, and was approaching the medium-grade earth-step. It was as if it could destroy the heavens and earth.

If any of the members of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were to suffer such a heavy blow, they would have instantly turned into ashes, with no chance of survival.

He once again felt that death was so close, that life and death were at stake.

However, Lu Chen had antic.i.p.ated this long ago. The legendary Divine Beast, the Azure Dragon, was something that had existed for hundreds and thousands of years. Naturally, it could not be underestimated.

He was decisive and unhesitatingly so.

A man has his ways and his ways.

He was like a real man, not caring about his own life!

On the left was his father's best friend, and on the right was the girl who was willing to give her all and even her life for him.

Regardless of which it was, Lu Chen would never abandon him.

If that was the case, and it was no different from an animal, then it wouldn't be him, Lu Chen.

Fortunately, he had activated the emasculated version of the Diamond Protection Talisman a long time ago, so he didn't die instantly from the Azure Dragon's all-out attack.

At the same time, in this moment of life and death, other than running forward with all his might, the green merit power inside Lu Chen's body also surged out crazily as if it was nothing.

The gus.h.i.+ng green power of virtue instantly formed an energy s.h.i.+eld around his body, enveloping the three of them within it.

Luckily, he had listened to Little Fox's instructions previously and obtained the G.o.d Profound Mirror from Han Tianxing. With the help of this divine artifact, he was able to restore the formation to its original state.

It was precisely because he had repaired the formation that he had received a huge amount of merit power, which was why he had temporarily upgraded to the green level.

The green karmic power was several times stronger than the yellow energy from before. Only then would it be able to protect his entire body.

However, no matter how fast Lu Chen was, he was still unable to pull away from the energy of the Azure Dragon's attack with his full strength.

This feeling of being infinitely close to death made Lu Chen's heart fill with shock. The feeling of not being controlled by himself was extremely uncomfortable.

Very quickly, the energy landed on the protective barrier formed by Lu Chen's Power of Merit as expected.

At the moment of contact, the protective barrier formed by the Power of Merit violently trembled, as if it was going to collapse in the next moment.

However, the source energy that the azure dragon displayed was indeed incomparably tyrannical and extremely tyrannical.

It was no wonder that even though Han Xiyi and Shangguan Zixi were both at the low-rank Earth Realm, they were completely unable to withstand the impact of this attack.

The energy s.h.i.+eld formed by Lu Chen's green power lasted less than a second before it was broken by the tyrannical power.

Even if Liu Ming had reached the fourth stage of Green Power, he still wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of this power. It was just too terrifying.

At this moment, Lu Chen felt like he was as weak as an ant in front of this power. He was like a fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

Even if he urged the power of karmic virtue on, he still would not be able to pull apart the gap between them.

However, no matter how strong the karmic power was, it was still just an external force.

At this moment, the little fox landed on Lu Chen's shoulder. It was ready to take action at any time, ready to save its master.

However, Lu Chen noticed that it didn't move at all, as if it was waiting for something.

Could it be that something had changed?

Surprisingly, this power suddenly stopped, as if it was being suppressed by some other power.

Lu Chen's heart was filled with astonishment. He felt that this aura was extremely familiar. It was the aura that was similar to the one that was being emitted by the Dual Element Array.

At the same time as he fled, Lu Chen looked towards the direction of the aura. At that moment, he saw his father, Lu Qingtian, standing up.

Lu Qingtian muttered incantations as a golden sword that looked like it was a mirage appeared in his hand.

As for the dust and dirt that floated in the air, they suddenly stopped in place in the middle of the golden light. It was a very bizarre sight.

Under the ten thousand golden lights, Lu Chen could feel an incomparably sharp and overbearing aura. Using the power of Merit, Lu Chen could tell that his father's strength had actually reached the middle rank of the Earth Stage.

What was even more shocking was that his aura was extremely powerful, as if he had been in the middle rank of the earth realm for quite some time.

This … What was going on?

Could it be that father's strength had increased significantly in these 18 years?
