Chapter 410: Chapter 260: Absorbed Too Much Skill_3
“`
A Grandmaster’s self-destruction is no joke; it’s far more powerful than any bomb. If a Grandmaster self-destructs his Dantian, he could blow an entire mountain top away.
If someone is at the center of the explosion, death is almost certain, even another Grandmaster might be killed by the blast.
Seeing that the Tianqi King actually wanted to drag them down with him, Lu Chen dismounted at this moment.
Chen Wanrong immediately turned to Lu Chen and said, “I’ll hold him off, get away quickly!”
As she spoke, Chen Wanrong once again gripped her sword tightly, ready to launch another attack at the Tianqi King. However, just as the Tianqi King was almost upon them, Lu Chen’s figure suddenly appeared behind him, and almost no one saw how Lu Chen got there.
The Tianqi King also sensed someone behind him and hastily turned around to swing his axe. Yet, Lu Chen easily caught the axe with his hand and then placed his other hand directly on the king’s chest.
After feeling the powerless slap from Lu Chen, the Tianqi King sneered and said, “Is the rat of Great Sum trying to tickle me?”
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, “I’m just helping you cool off, don’t get so heated.”
As the words fell, Lu Chen immediately employed the Absorption Technique.
The Tianqi King instantly felt all his skill flowing toward the young man before him and was momentarily stunned.
He hastily attempted to self-destruct his Dantian, wanting to perish together with the young man in front of him, but found that he couldn’t gather his skill in his Dantian to self-destruct at all.
The Tianqi King’s face changed dramatically, “Who… who exactly are you…”
Smiling, Lu Chen said, “Pleased to meet you, I am the North Prince of Great Sum!”
The Tianqi King said in disbelief, “No… Impossible!!!”
Before coming to the North Land, the Tianqi King had already learned a bit about the North Prince through the Barbarian Tribe’s scouts. The North Prince was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth; how could he possess such terrifying strength and use such bizarre tactics!
The Tianqi King immediately began to struggle, trying to free himself from Lu Chen’s palm. But he suddenly found his body as if rooted to the spot, completely immobile, forced to watch helplessly as his internal power crazily surged toward the youth before him.
At this moment, Chen Wanrong, not too far away, also witnessed this scene. It was the first time she had seen Lu Chen absorb someone’s skill, and she stood frozen in place.
She had never imagined that a technique to directly absorb another’s skill could exist in this world; she had only ever heard of transferring skill to others.
What cultivation technique had Lu Chen cultivated? How could it look so sinister, as if only those in a Cult would use it?
After a while, the Tianqi King’s skill had been completely absorbed by Lu Chen.
The Tianqi King was a Grandmaster, and the lifetime of skill from a Grandmaster entering Lu Chen’s body all at once made him very uncomfortable, as if his body was about to burst into flames, his face turning red.
Lu Chen immediately threw the Tianqi King’s body aside and drew out a Barrett, aiming it at the king’s head. The Tianqi King was now at death’s door, staring at the dark muzzle when he mustered all his strength to say, “The Goddess… will one day… avenge me…”
No sooner had the Tianqi King finished speaking than Lu Chen shot him in the head.
Even as a Grandmaster, without the support of internal skill, he was no different from an ordinary person. With that single shot, the Grandmaster Tianqi King fell.
Seeing the Tianqi King perish, Mu Changtian and the others hastily rode their horses to Lu Chen’s side.
By this time, Mu Changtian noticed Lu Chen’s flushed face and chaotic breathing, sensing that his martial artist’s presence was somewhat out of control. He asked anxiously, “Prince, what’s wrong with you?”
Lu Chen also felt he had absorbed too much skill and that his body was struggling to digest it. Without speaking, he hurried to steady his body, trying to calm the rampant power inside him.
It was then that his martial artist’s presence further spiraled out of control. As a Grandmaster, the release of his presence could be so oppressive that it might suffocate an ordinary person.
Suddenly, everyone around felt breathing difficulties, and it became evident that something was wrong with Lu Chen’s body.
“Distance yourselves from me immediately. I’ve absorbed too much skill and it’s causing me to lose control,” he said.
He murmured to himself, “It seems I will have to break military discipline today.”
Realizing Lu Chen’s intent, Mu Changtian promptly said, “The Prince has been gravely injured on the battlefield and now needs medical attention, which naturally isn’t a breach of military discipline.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled, then said, “General Mu, you’re good at giving me an out.”
“Alright, you all continue the pursuit of the Barbarian Tribe soldiers. I must return now. If there is anything important, send someone to report to me immediately,” he instructed.
The soldiers chorused in unison, “Yes, Prince!”
Then, Lu Chen said to Chen Wanrong, “Master Chen, would you be so kind as to give me a ride back on your horse?”
Chen Wanrong, realizing something was wrong with Lu Chen as well, quickly mounted her own horse and said, “Get on.”
Without a word, Lu Chen jumped onto Chen Wanrong’s horse and then laid his head on her back.
Right after, Chen Wanrong spurred her horse towards Ningbei City.
Watching their retreating figures, Li Feng asked with confusion, “What’s wrong with the Prince?”
Mu Changtian said indifferently, “General Li, it’s better to know less about things that one shouldn’t know. You just need to remember that the Prince has been severely injured and has left the battlefield early. As of now, the frontline conflict has nothing to do with the Prince.”
Upon hearing Mu Changtian’s words, Li Feng and the others grew even more curious. How could the battle have nothing to do with the Prince, who was the Main Commander? But they refrained from asking more.
Following this, Mu Changtian ordered the Tianqi King’s body to be collected, then he led his troops directly to the Barbarian Tribe camp, and soon the quiet of the night was again disrupted by the sound of gunfire.
The Black Cavalry led by Xuanyuan Chen and Wenren Lie, and the light cavalry headed by Xiao Pengthian, also joined the battlefield.
At this very moment.
Chen Wanrong rode her horse, carrying Lu Chen back as fast as she could, with him leaning on her back, his arms encircling her waist.
Chen Wanrong was incredibly puzzled. What was going on with Lu Chen? She had clearly seen that he hadn’t been injured just now.
And she found that Lu Chen now seemed very restless, as he was bold enough to grope her while on horseback.
