Chapter 122 The Two Jade Pieces Unite to Seal Chaos!
Chapter 122 The Two Jade Pieces Unite to Seal Chaos!
At the entrance to the dragon's lair, a black beam of light shot straight into the sky.
Huge fissures appeared in the ground, from which black magma gushed forth, emitting a pungent sulfurous odor. Countless hideous ghostly figures crawled out of the fissures, letting out shrill screams, and pounced in all directions.
"Quick! Block those ghostly figures!"
The surrendered Xuanmen disciples drew their weapons and fought the ghostly figures. However, these ghostly figures were impervious to blades and spears; they would reassemble after being killed, making them impossible to eliminate completely.
"This can't go on, we must seal Chaos as soon as possible!" Lu Jingchen said to Su Muyue, "You stay here and block the ghosts, I'll go in and seal Chaos."
"No! I want to go with you!" Su Muyue shook her head. "I can't let you go on this adventure alone."
Looking at her determined eyes, Lu Jingchen nodded helplessly: "Okay, then you must stay close to me and not leave my side for even a moment."
"Um!"
The two passed through the horde of ghostly figures and jumped into the entrance to the dragon's lair.
Inside the dragon's lair was a huge underground cavern. In the center of the cavern was a black pool of water, its water churning and emanating a strong, malevolent aura.
A gigantic black head was slowly rising from the pool. It had three eyes, a mouth full of sharp fangs, and its body was covered in black scales; it was none other than the ancient ferocious beast, Chaos.
"roar--!"
Upon seeing Lu Jingchen and Su Muyue, Chaos let out a deafening roar. A terrifying pressure emanated from it, causing Su Muyue's face to turn pale, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Lu Jingchen quickly supported her and shielded her behind him, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Lu Jingchen! You've finally arrived!"
A frantic voice came from the side. Lu Xuanqing had appeared out of nowhere, holding a dagger and standing by the pool, holding a little girl hostage.
This little girl was the last sacrifice.
"Lu Xuanqing! Let her go!" Lu Jingchen shouted angrily.
"Release her? Sure." Lu Xuanqing said with a sneer, "Throw the half of the jade pendant over here, or I'll kill her with one strike and completely break the seal on Chaos! Then, the entire world will be destroyed by Chaos, and it'll all be your fault!"
The little girl cried out in terror, "Big brother, help me!"
Lu Jingchen's eyes turned cold; he knew Lu Xuanqing meant what he said. If the little girl died, Chaos would absorb the blood of the last sacrifice and be completely broken, with unimaginable consequences.
"Alright, I'll give you the jade pendant. Let her go first."
Lu Jingchen slowly took out half of the jade pendant and threw it to Lu Xuanqing.
Lu Xuanqing caught the jade pendant, a smug smile on his face. He took out his own half of the jade pendant and pieced the two pieces together.
The complete dragon's lair jade pendant emitted a dazzling black light.
"Hahaha! Finally! Finally, I got the complete jade pendant!" Lu Xuanqing laughed maniacally. "Lord Chaos! I will now use the blood of the last sacrifice to completely break your seal!"
He raised the dagger, about to stab the little girl in the chest.
At this critical moment, Lu Jingchen made a move.
His figure moved with lightning speed, appearing in front of Lu Xuanqing in an instant and grabbing his wrist.
With a "crack," Lu Xuanqing's wrist was snapped, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Lu Jingchen kicked him away, then picked up the little girl and handed her to Su Muyue: "Take her out of here."
"Okay!" Su Muyue picked up the little girl, turned around and ran.
Lu Xuanqing fell heavily to the ground, staring at the intact jade pendant in Lu Jingchen's hand, and shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! How did the jade pendant end up in your hands?"
"You think the Dragon's Lair Jade Pendant is really meant to open the Dragon's Lair?" Lu Jingchen sneered. "You're wrong. The old sect leader already knew about the existence of Chaos. The Dragon's Lair Jade Pendant isn't a key at all; it's a magical artifact used to seal Chaos!"
"What?!" Lu Xuanqing's expression changed drastically. "Impossible! You're lying to me!"
"I'm not lying to you," Lu Jingchen said. "Back then, the old sect leader split the jade pendant in two to prevent anyone from using it to open the dragon's lair. Only when the two pieces of the jade pendant are combined can the sealing formation be activated to completely seal the chaos. You've been deceived by the old sect leader for twenty years; it's truly pitiful."
"No—! I don't believe it!" Lu Xuanqing completely broke down, and he frantically lunged at Lu Jingchen, shouting, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Lu Jingchen kicked him into the black pool of water.
"ah--!"
Lu Xuanqing let out a piercing scream and was instantly swallowed by the pool water, leaving not even a bone behind.
Just then, Chaos became utterly enraged. It leaped out of the pool, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged at Lu Jingchen.
"Lu Jingchen! Watch out!" Su Muyue shouted at the cave entrance.
Lu Jingchen lifted the complete Dragon Cave Jade Pendant and poured all his true energy into it.
"With my blood, I sacrifice my soul! With pure Yang power, I seal away chaos!"
He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the jade pendant.
The jade pendant instantly burst forth with boundless golden light, forming a massive golden array that enveloped the chaos within.
"roar--!"
Chaos struggled frantically, trying to break through the formation. But the golden formation was indestructible, constantly contracting and pressing Chaos back into the pool little by little.
"No—! I'm not reconciled!"
Chaos let out a desperate roar and was finally forced back into the pool.
Lu Jingchen threw the jade pendant into the center of the pool.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the pool instantly froze into ice. A golden seal appeared on the ice surface, emitting a faint glow.
Chaos has been completely sealed away.
The entire dragon's lair fell silent instantly.
Lu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, his body swaying as he nearly fell. That last strike had almost exhausted all his true energy.
"Lu Jingchen!"
Su Muyue rushed in and caught him, her eyes filled with concern: "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Lu Jingchen smiled. "It's all over."
The two stepped out of the dragon's lair, and all the ghostly figures outside had vanished.
When Lu Jingchen came out, all the Xuanmen disciples cheered.
"Long live Master Lu!"
"Chaos has been sealed! We've won!"
Lu Jingchen looked at the cheering crowd and waved to Xuantian Palace.
A beam of golden true energy shot out and struck the foundation of the Xuantian Palace.
"Boom!"
This evil palace, which had stood atop Mount Kunlun for hundreds of years, collapsed instantly, turning into ruins.
"From today onwards, the Xuanmen Sect is disbanded." Lu Jingchen said to all the Xuanmen disciples, "From now on, no one is allowed to practice evil arts or harm others. If anyone violates this rule, I, Lu Jingchen, will be the first to punish him."
"Yes! We will follow Master Lu's teachings!" All the Xuanmen disciples responded in unison.
Three days later, Lu Jingchen and Su Muyue returned to Jiangzhou.
The gate of Jiangzhou University was packed with people waiting to greet them. The president, along with all the university leaders, Lin Zhengxiong, with all the employees of Yunding Group, and tens of thousands of students from the martial arts association, were all waiting for them there.
Upon seeing Lu Jingchen and Su Muyue get out of the car, a deafening cheer erupted.
"Welcome home, Master Lu!"
"Master Lu is awesome!"
