It turned out that the streaking arrow was precisely the Golden Crow Divine Arrow fired from the Golden Crow Divine Bow.
Although Lu Chen had been Cultivating, his Divine Soul power had always been monitoring his surroundings.
When the first lingxian token appeared, Lu Chen intended to seize it.
As for the Northern Li Imperial Clan's Jiang Chen, Lu Chen naturally didn't care at all; anyone who blocked him would only face death.
"It's time to claim my lingxian token..." Lu Chen murmured softly.
Then, Lu Chen transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the palace complex dozens of miles away.
"Who is that? How can he be so terrifying...?" Jiang Chen, still on the stone pillar, looked at the terrifying arrow in his shoulder, his face turning incredibly grim.
He never expected that there would be such a powerful person in this Tian Yuan Imperial City; he hadn't even seen the person and yet his shoulder was directly pierced.
His body's defenses were like a mere facade...
This was truly too terrifying; he was already half-crippled without even seeing the enemy...
Moreover, this streaking arrow carried an extremely scorching aura, continuously burning Jiang Chen's body, preventing his spiritual energy from restoring his Physical Body.
Many other Prodigies and powerful cultivators, who were originally preparing to leave, were also stunned at this moment.
They also hadn't expected that Jiang Chen, the Prodigy of the Northern Li Imperial Clan, who had just been invincible, would be reduced to such a state in an instant; his tragic condition made everyone around him's scalp tingle, and their bodies trembled slightly.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Soon, the space beside the palace distorted.
Lu Chen, dressed in white robes and exuding a refined handsomeness, stepped out of the distorted space and slowly walked towards Jiang Chen, who was pinned by the Golden Crow Divine Arrow.
"You... You... Who are you...? How can you possess such a powerful Divine Arrow...?" Jiang Chen was somewhat bewildered when he saw the suddenly appearing Lu Chen; he had never seen Lu Chen before, nor did he expect such a terrifying existence in this Tian Yuan Imperial City, and this terrifying existence had never been seen before.
Especially this Golden Crow Divine Arrow that pierced his shoulder and rendered him completely immobile was simply too terrifying.
"Hand over your lingxian token and all your resources and treasures, and I might consider sparing your life!" Lu Chen did not answer Jiang Chen's words, but instead said indifferently, his tone extremely cold.
"Do you know what you're saying? I am a Prodigy of the Northern Li Imperial Clan! Daring to threaten me like this, are you waiting for your clan to be annihilated?" Hearing Lu Chen's plain and indifferent threat, Jiang Chen's face twisted, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
As a super Prodigy of the Northern Li Imperial Clan, Jiang Chen was an invincible existence wherever he went; how could he endure such a threat?
"You're just relying on a sneak attack and the advantage of your Divine Arrow! If you have the guts, release me, and we'll have a fair fight! If you can defeat me, I'll give you the lingxian token!" Jiang Chen continued, his face full of unwillingness and resentment.
"Heh heh, idiot, it seems you truly don't want to live!" Lu Chen scoffed, his face full of disdain, as the power of Chaotic Laws continuously surged from his body.
"Then I'll send you on your way!" With that, Lu Chen lightly raised his right hand, and the Pan Huang Life-slaying Sword appeared in his hand, sharp Sword Dao intent freely flowing within Lu Chen's Pan Huang Life-slaying Sword.
Coupled with the murderous aura on the Pan Huang Life-slaying Sword, the surrounding space seemed to distort, as if it could be torn apart at any moment.
"You...!" Feeling the powerful killing intent from Lu Chen, Jiang Chen's heart sank, and a terrifying thought immediately emerged in his mind: this stranger truly dared to kill him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a chill, but the dignity of a Prodigy of an Imperial Clan still prevented him from bowing his head.
"Slash!!!" Just as Jiang Chen was unsettled, Lu Chen's Pan Huang Life-slaying Sword, carrying an aura of slaughtering everything, fiercely struck towards Jiang Chen.
"No, don't, I'm willing to..." Under the threat of death, Jiang Chen finally decided to yield.
However, Lu Chen's sword peak had already completely pierced through Jiang Chen, and the immense impact directly cut Jiang Chen's body into two halves, with countless fresh blood splattering everywhere.
Jiang Chen's death rendered the entire palace complex eerily silent; everyone stared blankly at the bloody scene before them.
They were clearly somewhat in disbelief that a Prodigy like Jiang Chen was slain so easily.
He died so cleanly and decisively, without any room for resistance...
"The struggle for the lingxian token is indeed terrifying; even a powerful figure like Jiang Chen was slain in an instant..."
'Danger! Danger! Danger! It's too dangerous; this is indeed not a place for us to stay...'
"Who exactly is this guy? How can he be so powerful, easily slaying Jiang Chen of the Northern Li Imperial Clan...?"
"I remember now! This guy seems to be the one who entered the aftershock zone in the West City Ruins not long ago; he also forcefully slew the Golden Crow Crown Prince..."
"My heavens, it's him! No wonder he's so terrifying...!" After a moment of silence, the surrounding powerful cultivators discussed amongst themselves, their faces turning pale.
Jiang Chen's death truly horrified them.
Some people had already recognized Lu Chen's identity, which further made the scalps of the surrounding Prodigies tingle.
After all, this was not Lu Chen's first strike; the two powerful individuals he had slain were both top Prodigies.
"lingxian token!" After slaying Jiang Chen, the lingxian token became ownerless, floating in the air in front.
The many Prodigies and powerful cultivators around had no desire to claim it; they merely looked at the lingxian token with apprehension.
Lu Chen beckoned with his right hand, and instantly, the lingxian token was pulled into his grasp.
Upon acquiring the lingxian token, Lu Chen immediately felt the profound power contained within it; this profound power made Lu Chen's body feel as if it were being nourished, joyfully leaping.
Furthermore, after the lingxian token was held by Lu Chen, it emitted a dazzling light, fully revealing Lu Chen's aura in Tian Yuan Imperial City without any concealment.
