Chapter 2274: Chapter 1964: Commander Zhao, Did You Forget the Princely Heir Has a Special Constitution?

Lu Chen continuously swung out Sword Evil but could not stop Skull Deceit from approaching. In the blink of an eye, Skull Deceit appeared right in front of Lu Chen.

In the next moment, Skull Deceit directly tightened its grip on the Bone Sword and thrust it toward Lu Chen. Lu Chen did not confront it head-on and hurriedly dodged, causing the Bone Sword to miss.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Chen once again infused spiritual evil into the Evil-slaying Sword, then suddenly swung it forcefully. This strike almost consumed half of the spiritual evil within his body.

After the deep blue Sword Evil swung out, the airflow driven by this Sword Evil affected the surrounding plants in the Training Ground, causing them to tilt and fall in the direction of the Sword Evil.

However, just as the Sword Evil was about to strike Skull Deceit’s body, countless bones suddenly appeared around Skull Deceit’s body. These bones quickly assembled together, forming a Bone Shield. The Sword Evil Lu Chen swung landed right on the Bone Shield, only pushing Skull Deceit back more than ten meters. As Skull Deceit retreated, its bone feet left a trench over ten meters long on the ground.

Seeing that Skull Deceit blocked his attack, Lu Chen thought, it seems that relying solely on Sword Evil is not effective against Spirit Realm spirits.

At this moment, Zhao Yu reminded, "Princely Heir, use swordsmanship!"

Lu Chen himself was already engaging in cross-realm combat, not to mention that most spirits are inherently stronger than Spiritual Weapons at the same realm. For Human Realm Spiritual Martial Artists, using spiritual evil from within to exhaust a Spirit Realm spirit is almost impossible, as Spirit Realm spirits have far more abundant spiritual evil within them than Human Realm Spiritual Martial Artists.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to use martial arts or swordsmanship.

During this time, Zhao Yu and the others have taught Lu Chen many martial arts and swordsmanship techniques. However, even though Lu Chen’s realm improved rapidly, his mastery of martial arts and swordsmanship was notably slow. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He was not completely incapable of using the martial arts taught by Zhao Yu and the others, but his use of martial arts did not cause significant damage. Lu Chen could clearly feel that there is a power in this world limiting him, seemingly unwilling for him to learn the martial arts or cultivation techniques of this world.

Lu Chen suspected that the Heavenly Dao of this world had recognized him as an outsider, hence limiting his power. Yet, the Spirit Evil Body Refining Skill provided by the System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings is not a part of this world, thus allowing his realm to advance quickly.

If he wants martial arts or cultivation techniques with damaging power, he must rely on the System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings.

At this moment, the Bone Shield in front of Skull Deceit vanished, and then it once again transformed into a residual shadow and rushed straight at Lu Chen.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen directly infused spiritual evil into the Evil-slaying Sword and then swung it.

Shattered Moon Slash!!!

An arc-like Sword Evil instantly slashed toward Skull Deceit. However, this Sword Evil seemed to lack destructive power; the aura of the Sword Evil was not even as strong as the Sword Evil Lu Chen had previously swung directly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu and the others frowned deeply. They’ve taught Lu Chen many martial arts and swordsmanship tactics during this period, and although Lu Chen learned these skills quickly, each time he used them, the power was very small.

At first, they thought Lu Chen was controlling his strength, but later when Lu Chen directly asked them for higher-tier martial arts and swordsmanship, they realized that, to Lu Chen, those martial arts and swordsmanship were only of limited potency.

In other words, Lu Chen could only exert less than thirty percent of the power of those martial arts and swordsmanship, which left them puzzled. Clearly, Lu Chen’s talent is so high, yet why can’t he unleash the full power of the martial arts and swordsmanship he learns?

Meanwhile, seeing the Sword Evil Lu Chen swung, Skull Deceit not only didn’t dodge, but its teeth began to clatter as if mocking Lu Chen.

Lu Chen’s expression darkened instantly—damn, he’s being laughed at by the spirit!

Skull Deceit then raised the Bone Sword, swinging out a Sword Evil more rugged than the one Lu Chen swung. The two Sword Evils collided, Lu Chen’s Sword Evil dissipated instantly, and Skull Deceit’s Sword Evil headed straight for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen immediately raised the Evil-slaying Sword and swung it again, but this time he did not use swordsmanship.

The Sword Evil Lu Chen swung was fiercer and more potent than the Sword Evil he had when using swordsmanship. As soon as it collided with Skull Deceit’s Sword Evil, it obliterated that Sword Evil.

Lu Chen then continually swung his sword toward Skull Deceit, trying to find its weakness.

At that moment, Skull Deceit once again transformed into a white shadow, charging directly at Lu Chen. Just as Skull Deceit was about to approach Lu Chen, the spiritual evil on its body gathered together, forming over ten bone spikes that directly pierced toward Lu Chen.

Witnessing this, Zhao Yu and the others outside the battlefield were somewhat unsettled. At such close range, with Skull Deceit’s full-force attack, it’s likely their Princely Heir will not be able to fend it off.

However, at this time, Lu Chen mobilized all the spiritual evil on him, actively activating the Netherworld Evil Control Body. In the next moment, all the spiritual evil in the Prince’s Mansion began rushing toward Lu Chen’s body frantically.

Indeed, a general Human Realm Spiritual Martial Artist cannot exhaust a Spirit Realm spirit simply via spiritual evil consumption, as turning spiritual evil from air into personal spiritual evil requires a process. Besides, absorbing spiritual evil is incredibly painful, and converting it while fighting leads to divided concentration.

But Lu Chen is different. He possesses the Netherworld Evil Control Body, allowing him to ignore the adverse effects of spiritual evil. In other words, Lu Chen can seamlessly absorb spiritual evil while fighting, ensuring timely replenishment of the spiritual evil consumed by his body.

Feeling the spiritual evil throughout the Prince’s Mansion pouring into Lu Chen, Zhao Yu and the others were aghast. Absorbing such a massive amount of spiritual evil at once might cause Lu Chen to suffer backlash from spiritual evil.

Zhao Yu quickly reminded Lu Chen, "Princely Heir, you can’t absorb spiritual evil like this, you’ll suffer backlash!"

As Zhao Yu’s words fell, Lu Xun suddenly intervened, "Commander Zhao, have you forgotten that the Princely Heir has a special physique?"

Lu Xun had just realized this himself. Remembering Lu Chen’s special physique, he sighed in relief.

Listening to Lu Xun, Zhao Yu and Fu Li also snapped back to reality.

However, Zhao Yu’s brows remained furrowed. Although knowing Lu Chen has a special physique, absorbing spiritual evil so recklessly—is it truly without any issues?

Meanwhile, Skull Deceit, upon sensing its spiritual evil flowing toward Lu Chen, realized something was amiss instantly. After launching those bone spikes, it intended to retreat.

Lu Chen, laughing at this moment, declared, "Now you want to run? Too late!"

At the end of his sentence, Lu Chen quickly gathered the spiritual evil he just absorbed and swung the sword. A towering Sword Evil engulfed half the Training Ground, obliterated all the bone spikes shot by Skull Deceit, and then violently slashed at Skull Deceit’s body, splitting it into two halves instantly.
