NOVEL NEXT Chapter 568 It seems that Lu Chen has taken a liking to you.
Liu Qingqiu was not dressed in the Phoenix Robe that symbolized the identity of the Empress, nor was she wearing the Phoenix Crown, instead, she was clad in a green cloud dress embroidered with lotus flowers.
The sheer green garment tightly wrapped her voluptuous form, appearing somewhat translucent, imbuing her with the allure of a mature woman.
Her hair was coiled up on her head, and her exquisitely beautiful face was indifferent and expressionless.
Lu Chen knew, even without using the system to identify her, that Liu Qingqiu's score must have surpassed ninety.
Still, Lu Chen went through the motions and used the system to identify Liu Qingqiu's profile.
[Name: Liu Qingqiu]
[Identity: Daqian Empress, being from another world, over one hundred thousand years old, in the Genesis Realm, suspected to be a split entity of a great power from the Immortal Realm. After she fell into this world and lost contact with her main body, she attempted to steal this world's fate to leave this place. Thus, she pretended to marry the Qian Emperor to become his Empress. However, she has never shared a bed with the Qian Emperor and remains a maiden. In her eyes, the Sum Emperor is an obstacle to her departure from this world, so she is determined to eliminate him.]
[Score: 100]
[Favorability: 0]
Upon seeing Liu Qingqiu's profile, Lu Chen chuckled. A perfect score, higher than he had imagined. Interacting emotionally with her, he feared he might lose even more control over himself.
However, thinking about it, Liu Qingqiu's backing might be rather formidable. Her age had already exceeded one hundred thousand years, and she was also the embodiment of a great power from the Immortal Realm. If he actually got involved with Liu Qingqiu, or even got her pregnant, her main body would surely send someone to assassinate him once it found out.
Not only send someone, but there was also a chance that her main body might come in person.
At this thought, Lu Chen felt somewhat apprehensive.
This was the first time he had encountered a woman with such a terrifying background in this world. Even Yun Xianxian didn't have such a frightening origin.
By this time, Mu Yunxi had already come out of the carriage and, seeing Lu Chen staring intently at Liu Qingqiu inside, teased her, "It looks like Lu Chen has taken a fancy to you. Be careful. If we lose the battle, no matter who you are, he might make you his female slave."
Liu Qingqiu scoffed, completely disregarding Mu Yunxi's words.
Firstly, she did not believe that she would be defeated, and even if she were, with her power, escaping the battlefield would be an easy task.
If she wished to leave, no one could stop her, let alone when she realized that Lu Chen was merely a Pseudo Celestial. With Lu Chen being a Pseudo Celestial, the idea of keeping her was ludicrous.
Soon after, Mu Yunxi lightly leapt with both feet and landed on the roof of the carriage, smiling at Lu Chen, "Last time, I did not get to witness more of Sum Emperor's powerful moves. I wonder if there will be a chance this time."
As she spoke, the bells around Mu Yunxi's ankles shook, sending waves of sound in all directions. Although Mu Yunxi had taught the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array to the Great Qian army, she did not believe the array could pose any real harm to Lu Chen and the Daxia Army.
The most troublesome thing now was the Earth Grade Spiritual Artifact in Lu Chen's hands. The best way to eliminate Lu Chen would be for one person to distract him, diverting his attention, while another took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
While planning the attack, Mu Yunxi glanced at the powerful individuals surrounding Lu Chen, it seemed there was only one Celestial with him.
If it was just one Celestial, then Liu Qingqiu should easily circumvent them when attacking and head straight for Lu Chen.
As long as Lu Chen was dead, everything would be over. For combatants of their level, the Daxia Army was inconsequential, posing no threat to them at all.
The armies on both sides were the same, serving merely to clean up the battlefield after the clash of the strong. Apart from that, they were just a backdrop, essentially there to watch the spectacle unfold.
However, compared to the Daxia Army, Great Qian's Supreme Soaring Dragon Array still had some use, capable of drawing Lu Chen's attention to a certain extent.
At this moment, Great Qian's army took the initiative to attack, and several golden dragon phantoms appeared, rushing straight towards Danxin City. Seeing this, Lu Chen showed no sign of nervousness. He calmly took out the Slayer Spear and aimed at those dragons in the sky, firing a shot.
After a golden beam of light shot out, the golden dragon phantoms instantly dissipated. The next moment, Great Qian's soldiers suffered from the backlash of the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array, collapsing to the ground, spitting blood, some breathing their last.
Seeing the Slayer Spear in Lu Chen's hand, Liu Qingqiu's brows slightly furrowed, feeling a strong threat from the peculiar Spiritual Artifact.
She had seen Earth Grade Spiritual Artifacts before, not only Earth Grade but even Heaven Grade Spiritual Weapons, and she used to possess an Earth Grade Spiritual Artifact herself.
Yet none of those Earth Grade Spiritual Artifacts were as peculiar as the one Lu Chen held, which could effortlessly convert the user's Spiritual Power into killing power tenfold more deadly, with incredibly high efficiency.
It was more terrifying than the Sky-grade Spirit Swords of the High-Level Cultivation Realm.
Is this truly an Earth Grade Spiritual Artifact?
No wonder Mu Yunxi said Lu Chen was tough to deal with. It seemed she wasn't exaggerating—it really was a bit difficult to handle. A single hit from that Artifact's beam could likely leave one critically injured or even dead.
As soon as Lu Chen fired his weapon, Mu Yunxi immediately retaliated, transforming solid sound waves into fierce Sword Qi that flew straight at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't bother to block the Sword Qi, as Mu Hongguang quickly intervened, brandishing his sword to scatter all the attacks.
Liu Qingqiu remained sitting in the carriage, waiting for the right moment to take action, seeing no benefit in intervening just yet.
She was hoping for Mu Yunxi and Lu Chen to inflict mutual damage before she made her move to reap the rewards.
Seeing Mu Hongguang block her attacks, Mu Yunxi raised her delicate hand high, channeling all of her Spiritual Power at her fingertips.
Lu Chen thought she was going to launch a direct attack when suddenly, a phantom of an ancient zither materialized above Mu Yunxi's hand.
Mu Yunxi then placed her fingers on the zither and gently strummed, sending dozens more sound wave attacks toward Lu Chen.
Mu Hongguang easily defended with a light slash of his sword, blocking all of Mu Yunxi's attacks, but Lu Chen and he quickly noticed a problem—Mu Yunxi's fingers were moving faster and the sound waves were becoming more numerous, overwhelming Mu Hongguang's defense to keep up with her assault.
Just as Lu Chen was considering whether to take a direct shot at Mu Yunxi, a strange melody from the ancient zither infiltrated his ears, causing his mind to stall as though he were pulled into memories.
Upon seeing Lu Chen distracted, Liu Qingqiu could no longer hold back from inside the carriage.
She had intended to wait until Mu Yunxi and Lu Chen were both severely injured before making her move, but Lu Chen's Earth Grade Spiritual Artifact made her very wary. She feared that missing this opportunity would make it difficult to eliminate Lu Chen.
Instantly, Liu Qingqiu's body soared out of the carriage, and in the next moment, she gathered Spiritual Power in her palm, shouting coldly.
"Fading Rainbow, Gazing at the Moon!"
