Chapter 9: It's me licking you, please spare me!

The appearance of this scene brought a change to the atmosphere of the entire Yuzhou City!

Lu Chen acted extremely quickly, while their attention was almost entirely on Lu Zhan.

Being able to produce Sword Qi, naturally, his talent was quite remarkable.

But the result of this first sword strike was completely unexpected to everyone.

Lu Zhan thought so too.

Since Lu Chen picked up a sword, he had never practiced any other Cultivation Techniques. This strike with the stick was just a fluke!

But now, as he lay on the ground, fearing Lu Chen might attack his back, he had no choice but to scramble on his hands and feet, rolling and crawling towards the precious sword.

Just as he had picked up the precious sword, he heard Lu Chen laugh heartily, "Didn't I tell you? This is a 'Stick for Beating Dogs,' look at you, now you can only crawl!"

With these words, the entire place burst into laughter. With that said by him, Lu Zhan's actions even resembled a dog that had lost its home!

"Lu Chen, you're seeking death!"

Lu Zhan gripped the sword hilt, rage surging within him!

Initially, he had wanted to torment Lu Chen before killing him, but with his fury now overwhelming him, where could he find the mood for such thoughts?

"Whoosh!"

Once again, he stepped with sword footwork, using the very same sword move.

But this time, he aimed straight for Lu Chen's heart!

Lu Chen sneered inwardly; no one gets tripped by the same stone twice!

With your sword technique, even if I don't kill you, you won't amount to much!

Lu Chen put on a look of panic on his face, but in his hand, he was channeling Spiritual Power, unleashing the second Spear Technique.

He clasped the fire poker with both hands, slightly crouched his legs, and then leaped into the air. As his body came down, Lu Zhan had already attacked!

Great Roc Spreads Its Wings!

Lu Chen didn't hold back, but he still had to create the illusion of an accident to deceive the Lu Family!

So, though he could have struck directly at Lu Zhan's crown, he chose to strike the opponent's wrist instead!

Crack!

The crisp sound of breaking bones rang out, Lu Zhan's wrist was forcefully broken, not only drooping down, but the precious sword was also flung away by the force!

"My hand, my hand!"

Lu Zhan rolled on the ground, holding onto his injured wrist with his other hand and let out a hysterical roar!

At this sight, the crowd fell silent, rubbing their eyes in disbelief, as if they had seen wrong!

From the moment Lu Chen stepped onto the stage, they could tell that he was injured.

And the Lu Family was known for their swordsmanship in Yuzhou City; all of its descendants and guards were Sword Cultivators!

Lu Chen had no sword, yet with an injured body and a fire poker, he had injured Lu Zhan?

No one believed that Lu Chen was proficient in Spear Techniques, and that the fire poker was just an ordinary fire poker.

"It must have been Lu Chen jumping up to gather strength, then using the power of his physique to strike Lu Zhan's joint!"

A Martial Artist stroking his chin analyzed, eliciting nods of agreement from the others.

"Indeed, even without using elemental power, Lu Chen is still a martial artist of the Bone Refinement Realm with strong physical strength."

"It seems Lu Zhan is also in the Bone Refinement Realm, right? But no matter how strong the bones, the joints are still as fragile as those of an ordinary person, and naturally, can be smashed!"

"That makes sense now! Didn't you see that the fire poker is longer than a sword?"

"That's right. Lu Chen is a battle-hardened Sword Cultivator with a wealth of experience!"

Those who loved spectacles did not shy away from adding fuel to the fire, speaking as if they knew all along.

But Lu Changkong's eyes were about to split apart; with Lu Zhan's wrist broken, even if he still had the strength to fight, he was afraid he was more willing than able!

As expected!

In the next moment, Lu Chen pointed the fire poker at Lu Zhan's throat!

The crowd suddenly quieted down.

Everyone was watching intently to see if Lu Chen would thrust the stick down!

"Lu Chen, stop!"

An anxious Lu Changkong, with eyes reddened, roared out loud.

He was very close to the platform of life and death, and his voice went directly into Lu Chen's ears!

"Stop?"

Lu Chen tilted his head and looked over, "Is the Patriarch of the Lu Family trying to break the rules of the platform?"

Lu Changkong was immediately at a loss for words, but then he said coldly, "Lu Zhan had earlier considered sparing your life! It's wise to leave some leeway in life, so you can meet again in the future. He had no intention to kill you; you shouldn't kill him either!"

Lu Chen feigned a sudden realization, looking at Lu Changkong, "Oh, that's right. What did he say earlier? He said if I... licked his shoe soles, he'd spare my life?"

Lu Zhan, seizing the moment Lu Changkong spoke, had already come to his senses, no longer caring about the sharp pain in his wrist, crying and shouting, "It's me who'll lick, it's me! Spare my life, please!"

No one understood Lu Chen better than he did.

In the past, during their adventures, none of the enemies of the Lu Family who had acted against him had left alive!
