The Diamond Protection Array had blocked Nangong Tai Xing"s first wave of attacks.

However, the other party had displayed strength that was at least of middle Xuan grade. In the end, the castrated version of the Diamond Protection Formation was still insufficient.

If nothing unexpected happened, Nangong Taixing would probably be able to break through the defense on the second try.

Based on Lu Chen"s current strength, which was only equivalent to middle Huang grade. Even with the power of merit, he was barely at the upper Huang grade. Facing such a powerful expert, he was still unable to escape!

The little fox did not seem to want to waste any more words with him.

After a flash of white fire, it returned to Lu Chen"s shoulder, and his spirit body became a lot dimmer.

As for Nan Gong Taixing, including his clothes and accessories, he instantly turned into ashes and floated in the air.

It was as if it had never existed.

"This …"

Lu Chen was astonished.

Although Nangong Taixing"s sneak attack was deserved to be killed, Lu Chen had never thought that the little fox would be so decisive and would not leave any leeway for him.

Lu Chen could even feel that the white flame did not only burn Nangong Taixing"s body, but also his soul.

It could be said that Nangong Taixing had been completely wiped out from this world.

But what made Lu Chen even more baffled was that the little fox clearly didn"t belong to this world, so why did Nangong Taixing call out its ident.i.ty just now?

The little fox called itself the Nine Tailed Heavenly Fox, but Lu Chen knew that the real name of the Nine Tailed Heavenly Fox was from the legacy in the Eye of Merits.

Without saying anything, Lu Chen touched his burning face.

Even though they were separated by three meters, he could still feel the terrifying power radiating from the white flames.

However, there were no burn marks in the room. Of course, other than the cactus not far away.

It had become completely scorched.

Most likely, the moment his fingers touched it, it would immediately disintegrate.

"Little fox, speak the truth. How did he recognize you, and that flame just now …" Lu Chen turned around and looked at the little fox with a burning gaze.

The little fox hesitated for a moment before letting out a sigh. "I didn"t expect it to be revealed so quickly."

Lu Chen smiled, but didn"t say anything, waiting for it to finish.

The little fox gave a wry smile, "That"s little fox"s fox fire. This guy was the one that slipped through the net during the battle. He knows a few things."

"It"s just that I didn"t expect that I would run into him here, and even dare to secretly harm my lord. Of course, I can"t let him go."

Lu Chen frowned. He looked at the little fox suspiciously, and asked with a burning gaze:

"You have an old acquaintance in this world? Aren"t you from the Demon Realm of the Seven Realms? "

The little fox shook its head, "Lord, there are some things that little fox cannot tell you for now. When the time is right, I will tell you."

"Sir, there"s no need to continue asking. Little Fox just used fox fire, so his energy consumption was huge. His cultivation base is already injured, so he should go recuperate."

Looking at the little fox"s fading figure once again in the pool, Lu Chen let out a faint sigh.

Actually, he had already guessed at something.

However, since the little fox had said so, he did not continue asking.

With a flick of his mind, the orange-colored Merit Pearl that was originally floating above his head fell to the ground.

The little fox"s reaction was fast and nimble. It suddenly scuttled forward, and grabbed the Merit Pearl in its mouth.

It gratefully looked at Lu Chen, thanked him, then swallowed it in one gulp. Then, it closed its eyes once again, falling into a deep sleep.

Waving away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Lu Chen took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.

Although Nangong Taixing had only appeared for a short period of time, Lu Chen had felt a terrifying power from him.

This only served as a reminder to Lu Chen that he needed to grow as fast as possible.

Only the heavens knew how many more experts there were in this world.

Furthermore, an expert like Nan Gong Tai Xing could not help but be wary of his sneak attack.

Right now, Lu Chen didn"t have any other choice. He could only use the jade talismans and the like to increase his life saving ability as soon as possible.

Moreover, he had to master the Limitless Five Thunder Curse as soon as possible.

If he tried to be useful at a crucial moment, he might even be able to save his life.

Otherwise, with the little fox"s current condition, not to mention someone like Nangong Taixing, even if it was a weaker low-rank Xuan expert, Lu Chen would probably be forced to surrender.

Just as he said.

Lu Chen took out one of the safety buckles and placed it on his palm. He tried his best to restrain his mind as he quietly felt the Spiritual Energy entering his body from the Spirit Convergence Talisman.

The gentle spiritual energy became denser through the effect of the combination, constantly cleansing every meridian, even every inch of his body.

His meridians were constantly being pulled and tempered by this energy. That feeling of numbness was like there were countless ants crawling through them.

Sensing the subtle changes in his body, Lu Chen gradually forgot about everything else.

Under an unconscious state, he allowed this energy to temper his body …

When Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, it was already morning.

His body was unparalleled.

At that moment, Ye Zichen"s phone vibrated slightly. It seemed like a text message was sent over.

Lu Chen was in no hurry to look at his phone. All of his attention was completely focused on the changes in his body.

This was especially so for the feeling of his whole body being at ease. It gave Lu Chen the urge to let out a carefree moan.

Lu Chen looked at the safety b.u.t.ton that was still in his palm in surprise.

From the looks of it, with the support of this type of innate talisman, coupled with the power of karmic virtue, the results of cultivation would be much faster.

Lu Chen once again felt the changes of the spiritual force in his body.

At the moment, his cultivation was a big step closer to high-grade yellow-rank.

Most likely, he would only need a suitable opportunity to break through the barrier in front of him and officially enter the upper Huang grade.

One should not underestimate a small realm like this. Once he breaks through, Lu Chen had the confidence to refine a compound jade talisman that combined the Upper Sky Spiritual Concentration Formation and the Diamond Protection Formation.

Of course, before that, he still had to practice his proficiency repeatedly. When the day of his true breakthrough came, everything would naturally come to fruition.

Previously, when he was facing the low-grade yellow-rank Situ Tu Hu, if it weren"t for the power of his contribution, Lu Chen would not have been able to handle him so easily.

Lu Chen circulated the zhenqi in his body for a full cycle before carefully putting away the two Innate Spirit Convergence Array"s safety buckles.

Slowly standing up, Lu Chen stretched his back. Only now did he recall that a text message had entered.

He casually picked up the phone and saw that it was a text message from an unfamiliar number.
