Chapter 1392 The One-Armed Man

Faced with such a perilous situation, Lu Chen frowned slightly, pondering a solution.

After a careful investigation, Lu Chen discovered that there was indeed a powerful restriction in the abyss. Once something flew over the abyss, it would immediately trigger the restriction and be torn apart by terrifying wind blades.

However, Lu Chen, a veteran of countless battles, quickly came up with a reasonable solution.

"Huh... I've got it! I really am a genius." He smiled slightly, a hint of confidence and pride flashing in his eyes.

Therefore, Lu Chen quickly took out a level 7 Saint-grade defensive talisman from his storage ring.

This talisman was crafted by Lu Chen during his seclusion with Long Wu. There are many similar talismans, which were made in advance for their journey to the God Realm. Unexpectedly, they have actually come in handy.

Lu Chen poured his immortal energy into the talisman, which was instantly activated, releasing a powerful surge of immortal energy. With a flash of spiritual light, a huge shield-like image condensed in the air.

The shield of light and shadow was dozens of feet tall, its surface shimmering with iridescent light, as solid as a physical object.

Lu Chen swiftly controlled the shield's light and shadow to span the entire abyss, forming a temporary passage.

Just as the shield was fully deployed, Lu Chen suddenly leaped into the air, his body becoming a blur as he flew past above the shield's light and shadow.

His movements were so fast that they were invisible to the naked eye.

However, just as he was about to successfully cross the abyss, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat as several sharp wind blades shot out from the bottom of the abyss, heading straight for him. These wind blades were incredibly fast, closing in almost the blink of an eye.

Those wind blades sliced ​​through the air with a chilling sound, cutting everything in their path into pieces.

At this critical moment, Lu Chen could only watch helplessly as the wind blades mercilessly slashed at the shield and light beneath his feet.

With a few sharp "sizzling" sounds, the once indestructible shield was instantly cut into several pieces and eventually vanished without a trace.

"Damn it, I underestimated these wind blades!" Lu Chen was shocked, and cold sweat poured down his face.

You should know that the defensive talisman he had crafted was capable of withstanding the full force of a late-stage Taiqing Xuanxian realm expert, yet it was so easily shattered by the wind blade.

Seeing the wind blades continuing to sweep towards him, Lu Chen subconsciously prepared to activate a few more defensive talismans to buy himself some time.

However, in that split second, an invisible force instantly enveloped Lu Chen and pulled him toward the other side of the abyss at an extremely fast speed. Lu Chen knew that someone had come to his rescue in time.

And all of this happened in just a breath or two.

After landing steadily, Lu Chen quickly scanned his surroundings, finally fixing his gaze on a one-armed man.

The man had dark skin and a strong physique. Although he only had one arm, he exuded an undeniable sense of power.

He wore a simple animal skin vest, his chest muscles were well-defined, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his left shoulder was smooth and neat, as if his arm had been cut off by a sharp weapon, which was very eye-catching.

What surprised Lu Chen the most was that he couldn't discern the other person's cultivation level. Judging from their aura, this person seemed to have touched the threshold of the Dao Shaping stage, but hadn't completed it. Their strength was similar to that of the Jade Purity Saint he had met before.

"You have no manners. If I hadn't saved you in time, you would be dead by now."

Seeing Lu Chen staring at his left shoulder, the one-armed man spoke coldly, while looking Lu Chen up and down, his tone tinged with anger.

"Uh... Fellow Daoist, I apologize. Thank you for your help earlier." Realizing he had been a bit abrupt, Lu Chen quickly bowed politely and smiled.

Although I could handle the wind blades just now, the other party did help me after all, so I still had to show them the proper courtesy.

"I find it strange that you, with your cultivation level of only the late stage of the Taiqing Xuanxian Realm, dare to venture deep into this misty ravine."

"And you don't have any divine aura on you. Could it be that you are not from the Divine Domain?" After sizing up Lu Chen, the one-armed man guessed his origin.

Hearing this, Lu Chen was speechless. What did he mean by "merely the late stage of the Taiqing Profound Immortal Realm"? He had struggled for many years and finally managed to break through to the late stage of the Taiqing Profound Immortal Realm, so how could it be so worthless in the other person's mouth?

The key point is that Lu Chen felt that the other party's strength wasn't that great, and if he were to kill him, it would only be a matter of minutes.

Upon hearing that the other party said he was not from the Divine Domain, Lu Chen quickly changed the subject, saying, "I have been cultivating in a mountain cave, and as a rogue cultivator, I don't understand many things. I would appreciate your guidance."

Surprisingly, the one-armed man didn't suspect the fabricated reason at all; he even automatically filled in the blanks with his own thoughts:

"So you're a cultivator who just ascended not long ago. No wonder you're so weak. Since you're a rogue cultivator, you probably haven't absorbed any divine crystals, which is why you don't have any divine energy. Yes, that must be it."

"Huh? That's possible? This big oaf is too easy to fool." Lu Chen was secretly delighted upon hearing this and chimed in:

"Fellow Daoist, you truly have discerning eyes. I have only recently ascended and have never even seen a divine crystal. I wonder if you would be so kind as to lend me some? I would be eternally grateful and will repay you tenfold when the opportunity arises in the future."

As Lu Chen was speaking, he reached out to put his arm around the other person's shoulder, but to his surprise, the other person took a few steps back to avoid Lu Chen's attempt to get close, and then frowned and said:

"You're shameless! I just saved you, and instead of being grateful, you have the nerve to ask me for divine crystals. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Lu Chen smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This kid isn't that easy to fool. Besides, the reason he made the move is probably to ask me for something in return."

So, Lu Chen deliberately gave a helpless, bitter smile and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I'm very poor, I'm afraid I can't offer you anything, so..."

The one-armed man's eyes were sharp, as if he could see through Lu Chen's thoughts. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "I can see that, so I don't need your divine crystals or divine pills. I saw that the talisman you used earlier was quite good. You have to give me one as a thank you for saving your life earlier."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly realized what was going on. A shrewd glint flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself, "So that's how it is. It seems they discovered me a long time ago and were just waiting to rescue me so they could demand something in return."

So Lu Chen pretended to be deep in thought, and then slowly said, "I can give you the talisman, but..."
