Great Demon Sun Wukong

Although Luo Chen noticed something strange about these people, he no longer had the time to think it through. As to who they were, why they appeared before him, and why they were wearing such ragged armor, although Luo Chen really wanted to know, the person who launched the surprise attack didn't give him any time to ponder. Moreover, this person had an extremely precise grasp of timing, choosing the exact moment Luo Chen was distracted by observing the iron chains on the others to suddenly flicker in movement. In an instant, he appeared in front of Luo Chen with his body lowered and hands shaped like claws, aiming to grab at Luo Chen's side waist. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

Even though Luo Chen was slightly distracted, his attention had always been on that person, so the moment his opponent made a move, Luo Chen immediately reacted. Clutching the hilt of his sword with his right hand, he flicked it upward. Although the man's right claw was almost upon Luo Chen's waist, he still swiftly stepped back without hesitation, once again increasing the distance between them.

However, when that person steadied himself, he discovered several drops of blood quietly sliding down his left cheek. Seemingly surprised, he slowly wiped away the blood on his face. Then he stood up straight and addressed Luo Chen for the first time, followed by an astonishing statement that left Luo Chen in disbelief, "No one has set foot in the Patrolling Celestial World for who knows how long. It's unexpected that we'd encounter someone today and that they would be so strong. Now, you have garnered the attention of Ming Tu, the commander of the Third Battalion's First Division of the Underworld God Army. Therefore, we will use our strongest combat technique to wipe you out in one fell swoop."

After speaking, that person who called himself Ming Tu suddenly let out a piercing whistle and bellowed, "First Division Combat Technique, Full Force Strike!" As soon as his words ended, the other four individuals, upon hearing his command, launched their attacks on their opponents in unison, including the self-proclaimed Ming Tu.

Regardless of whether their opponents were attacking or defending, no matter if the timing was right for such a strike, and even though the sudden attack from these five individuals seemed somewhat forced, with one person even taking a hit from a Genesis Divine Nation individual due to his overexerted attack, resulting in him spewing fresh blood.

Yet after that, the one in the tattered armor also managed to plant a palm on the chest of the person from the Genesis Divine Nation. Of course, the attacks from the other four also simultaneously hit their opponents. Even Luo Chen was caught off guard by Ming Tu's sudden explosion of speed, being struck around the side of the head!

Surprisingly, despite the strained effort behind these five individuals' collective strike, the outcomes were vastly different, even poles apart. Luo Chen, Meng Lan, and the other two were unharmed, making it seem as if the vigorous attack was merely for show. However, the individual from the Genesis Divine Nation, who previously had the upper hand and launched a preemptive attack during their strike, was instantly obliterated into a cloud of flesh by that one palm.

The extraordinary power and fierce explosion of that palm immediately drew everyone's attention. Luo Chen and the others showed shock and disbelief in their eyes, while the four individuals, including Ming Tu, simultaneously revealed a trace of a smile. With this desperate strike, they had once again killed an enemy today.

"How is this possible?" A single palm had completely annihilated a supreme expert at their peak, and the opponent didn't even have a chance to resist—it was utterly inconceivable. Could it be that this person possessed Domain Lord Level power? But even so, it shouldn't be this absurd.

Startled by the attack, Luo Chen didn't even notice his current opponent's evasive withdrawal. However, Luo Chen was no longer the same as before; he quickly regained his composure after a moment of surprise. If that person truly possessed the strength of a Domain Lord, or more precisely, if he had the power to annihilate Luo Chen and the others in one strike, then even if they tried to escape now, Luo Chen didn't believe they could get away.

Moreover, it wasn't just that one person; there were also four other assistants with formidable strength. The likelihood of escape was minuscule. Therefore, in an instant, Luo Chen had made his decision. The other three had also reached the same conclusion in that same moment.

Hence, although the person in ragged armor had launched an irresistibly powerful strike, Luo Chen and the others were not driven back by fear; instead, it ignited their fighting spirit. Luo Chen and the three others were not like the previous men in red robes who didn't care at all about the death of their companions. Besides, the one who died was an intimate brother of the four of them.

So, whether for their sakes or others, there was no reason to retreat now—only to fight!

With a loud shout, Luo Chen thrust forward the sword hilt he was holding in his hand. For some reason, Ming Tu's reaction was unexpectedly half a beat slow. Although he managed to dodge in time, a deep gash that revealed the bone appeared on his shoulder.

Yet Ming Tu couldn't understand how he received this wound, for he hadn't seen any attack. He dodged out of habit—an instinct honed from years of combat—alert to any lethal danger, similar to how ordinary people instinctively close their eyes when facing sudden danger as a subconscious act of self-preservation.

And for Ming Tu, it was very similar. But even though he felt the same premonition this time, he was still inexplicably struck on the shoulder. Not only had the slash cut through the muscles on his shoulder, but it had also severed half the tendons. As a result, his entire arm was limp and useless, effectively incapacitated for the time being.

Furrowing his brows tightly, Ming Tu's eyes were glued to Luo Chen. He had already sensed the danger emanating from that person, but that was just a feeling after all; he couldn't see with his eyes, hear with his ears, and besides the sense of danger, he couldn't perceive anything else.

At first, he thought Luo Chen was wielding an invisible sword, one that could conceal its blade using a special technique to achieve unexpected results upon striking. But now it seemed that invisibility was probably just the most basic ability of that sword or weapon.

Because just now, in his sensation, he should have thoroughly avoided that lethal danger, yet the outcome was still that his face and shoulder were injured. If things continued this way, the next strike might cost him an arm, a leg, or even his life on the spot. Such a thing, Ming Tu, of course, would not let happen.

"First Legion, Combat Technique, Hidden Mountain Strangle!" Just what were these Combat Techniques Ming Tu was full-force striking with, and now this Hidden Mountain Strangle? Luo Chen was immediately alarmed, just about to warn the others to be careful. But before he could speak, Ming Tu suddenly disappeared into thin air, and then the other four people vanished from sight as well.

However, it didn't take long for Luo Chen to feel a peculiar yet faint fluctuation from the ground beneath his feet. Since Luo Chen was the son of the Domain Lord of the Dominion of Soil, he had a natural advantage in sensing and understanding the Earth Element. Thus, he immediately realized that the five people who had disappeared must have burrowed into the ground.

This was truly a case of, "Heaven's path is wide open yet you turn away, and hell's gate is non-existent yet you barge in"! Luo Chen had been worried about how to deal with these five men, thinking of ways to lure them underground. Down there, Luo Chen could unleash his strongest power. After all, no matter how fierce the shark is, it must return to the water to be so.

"You three, come closer to me. Those five are underground!"

As soon as Luo Chen spoke, the three men were delighted, knowing Luo Chen might now be ready to attack with full force. They hadn't expected those five to be so foolish as to dare to burrow into the ground in front of Luo Chen!

Watching the three swiftly converge towards him, Luo Chen suddenly knelt halfway to the ground, his hands violently smashing down onto the earth. The immense force made his hands sink directly into the ground.

"Earth Prison Cage, Capture!" A deep voice erupted from Luo Chen's mouth, and at the same time, two dazzling beams of Spiritual Power shot out from his palms. The beams, like dragons plunging into the sea, quickly burrowed towards the underground with incredible speed.

"Seal Earth Wall, within a radius of fifty li!" Another deep voice sounded out. Centered around Luo Chen, within fifty li, six thick earth walls emerged, with countless complex and intricate patterns etched upon them, bearing some resemblance to the patterns on Lin Xi's Seal Heavenly Stamp.

As the earth walls materialized, they linked with one another, forming a vast cubic enclosed space that completely trapped the five inside.

"Seal Earth Wall, contract, forty li! Earth Prison Cage, commence full capture!"

Following Luo Chen's command, the gigantic earth walls began to contract, not just compressing the earth within but also squeezing Ming Tu and his four companions inside the enclosed soil. And the two beams of golden Spiritual Power from before, they formed a massive golden net of Spiritual Power, gradually filtering from one end of the earth walls to the other.

Indeed, those five would need to tear through space, and also destroy the Seal Earth Wall, which originated from the same source as the Seal Heavenly Stamp, otherwise, they might face death the moment they were caught in the net of Spiritual Power!
