In reality, Lu An had already realized that something was amiss.
After all, the enemies that he had cooperated with the Gao Clan had been extremely proficient in long-range combat, and the enemy that he was facing now was the same. If this was a normal battle, Lu An couldn't think of any reason why the enemy would suddenly change their strategy. Moreover, the change was so sudden and without any warning at all. If he had been seriously injured, it would have made sense for the enemy to suddenly choose to engage in close-range combat, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
Even so, Lu An still chose to fight. The reason was simple: close-range combat was the best opportunity for him to deal with the enemy. He immediately enveloped himself with Darkness energy to ensure that he could teleport away at any time. This way, no matter what the enemy wanted to do, he would have some room to maneuver.
Boom … …
Lu An kept changing his direction during his rapid descent to restrain the enemy and force him to slow down. Indeed, the enemy's figure became clearer and clearer in Lu An's perception, but the distance between them and Lu An was also getting closer and closer. Even though Lu An kept changing directions, the distance between the two thousand feet was quickly reduced to less than a hundred and fifty feet.
Here it comes!
Boom!!
Just as Lu An rushed out of the tunnel, a blood-red figure appeared and chased after Lu An with all his might. Lu An knew that even if he changed directions, he wouldn't be able to slow down the enemy any further. As such, he immediately reduced his speed, which also reduced his inertia. In Lu An's opinion, in most close-range combat, the side with less inertia would have a greater advantage.
Lu An's speed suddenly decreased, and the Spirit Race individual's heart tightened. It was obvious that Lu An was preparing to engage him in close-range combat. The Spirit Race individual's speed also decreased, and his figure quickly became clearer in Lu An's eyes. It couldn't be helped. This person was still too nervous when facing Lu An.
But even so, the Spirit Race individual continued to charge at Lu An without stopping midway. He had to engage in close-range combat with Lu An in order to prevent Lu An from teleporting.
Ten feet!
Five feet!
Here it is!
The Spirit Tribe member immediately attacked, but it was neither a palm nor a fist. Instead, it was a simple hand that went straight for Lu An's throat!
Due to the blood cloak covering his entire body, it was impossible to grab Lu An anywhere else. Lu An could peel off the blood cloak and escape, but his neck could still be clasped. This was the first time Lu An had seen an enemy grab the throat in the first move, which made his expression even more serious.
Although the opponent's attack speed was extremely fast, this kind of move and behavior was full of flaws in Lu An's eyes. However, Lu An did not feel any joy from catching the enemy's weakness. On the contrary, he felt nervous.
Everyone's every move represented their intentions and state of mind. His opponent had used such a move right from the start. It was obvious that he wanted to catch him, or rather, restrict him.
Why?
From the Spirit Race individual's serious and determined gaze, Lu An didn't think that the Spirit Race individual had the confidence to defeat him in such a manner. But at the same time, the Spirit Race individual's eyes didn't seem to be filled with despair. This meant that it was very unlikely that the Spirit Race individual would choose to self-destruct after catching him. Otherwise, there was no way they would choose to die without any fluctuations in their emotions.
It was precisely because of this that Lu An didn't choose to attack the opponent's weak point to control and hit the opponent when the opponent had a weak point. Instead, he quickly and simply parried the opponent's moves and dodged. He even pulled the opponent's arm and flung the opponent away from him, allowing the opponent to rush past him and create a certain distance between them.
Boom!
The Spirit Race individual was stronger, and because he had slowed down, he had a lot of room to maneuver. He quickly turned around and charged at Lu An again!
This time, when the Spirit Race individual arrived in front of Lu An, he reached out with both hands. His right hand went straight for Lu An's throat, while his left hand went straight for Lu An's left shoulder. He was also trying to grab him.
Why?
Lu An couldn't sense any other Spirit Race individuals nearby. And even if there were other Spirit Race individuals, this person had no reason to fight him in close combat. And even though this Spirit Race individual's cultivation base was much higher than his, they still weren't strong enough to stop him from using spatial teleportation.
Why did the Spirit Race individual want to grab him?
Could it be ….. that the Spirit Race individual was stronger than him?
Could it be that they had reinforcements?!
When he thought of this, Lu An's eyes widened. He suddenly thought of something!
This time, when he came to the city, the ten Spirit Race individuals had suddenly attacked him from underground! And the ten Spirit Race individuals had attacked him as soon as they discovered his presence. None of them had left to inform the headquarters of the Spirit Galaxy of his appearance!
The two sides didn't have time to confront each other, and he hadn't said anything like, "If anyone leaves, I will leave too!"! But even so, none of them had left to report the situation. How could the Spirit Race be so careless? Military orders must be obeyed. This was something that absolutely could not happen!
The only explanation was ….. that the Spirit Race individuals had already gone back to inform him. He just didn't know how to do it!
Boom!
Lu An shook off the Spirit Race individual once again. But when he thought of this, his entire body trembled. Even his heart was filled with shock and unease! Although he didn't know what method the ten Spirit Race individuals had used, now was not the time to think about it. To Lu An, he already believed in his own deduction. It was very likely that the Spirit Race individuals had reinforcements!
The Spirit Race individuals who had chased after Lu An before were already top-notch Celestial Realm experts. And they had attacked Lu An on the Immortal Planet. And this was outside the Immortal Planet. The reinforcements of the Spirit Race were at least top-notch Celestial Realm experts, or even Heavenly King Realm experts!
Regardless of which possibility it was, it was a fatal blow to Lu An and the ten Chu Clan individuals! Lu An was definitely not arrogant enough to think that he could fight with such experts. And judging from the time, if the Spirit Race individuals had already sent someone to inform the headquarters when they attacked, then it was very likely that the Spirit Race reinforcements had already entered the Immortal Planet, or even arrived at the battlefield soon.
Because of this, this person was frantically trying to get close to him to restrain him. Everything suddenly made sense!
He had to change!
Boom!
Lu An dodged the Spirit Race individual's attack again and threw him heavily into the rock stratum. In order to instantly get rid of him, his side was even grazed by the other party's fist. Although it didn't land a solid hit, it still broke the blood-red clothes on his side, causing a bloody wound to appear on his side!
But … the moment he threw the Spirit Race individual, Lu An immediately mobilized the dark energy around him. The dark energy, which was originally fluctuating like clouds and mist, instantly solidified and became solid. And when the Spirit Race individual saw this, his entire body shook violently!
"No!"
The Spirit Race individual immediately turned back at full speed. At the same time, his right palm struck across the air. At a distance of only ten feet, the power of death shot out explosively!
Then …
Boom!
The rock stratum exploded and collapsed, and the dark energy was immediately scattered! But … only the dark energy was scattered, and there was no trace of a person.
The Spirit Race individual was stunned and stood in place, dumbfounded.
That's right, Lu An had successfully teleported away.

Heavenly Star River, Immortal Star Stream, Allied Forces Headquarters.
A spatial ripple appeared in front of the Fu Clan's camp and the Fu Clan's troops. Many people in the Fu Clan had spatial perception and immediately turned to look. The moment they turned their heads, they saw Lu An appear out of thin air.
Spatial teleportation.
Lu An, who appeared, did not even have a stable footing. He staggered a few steps before regaining his footing. The blood-red clothes on his body were still there, and they carried a dense aura of death. This was an aura that everyone loathed. It was extremely abrupt for it to appear in the headquarters of the allied forces. Therefore, many people in the square immediately turned their heads to look at it, especially the people from the Eight Ancient Clans and the people from the Tripartite Alliance.
The people on the high platform naturally noticed Lu An's appearance, and his appearance caused them to frown. They stopped talking and turned to look.
But to Lu An, who had just returned, he didn't have the time to care about the blood-red clothes. Furthermore, the blood-red clothes had already been activated and could not be retracted. The only way to get rid of the blood-red clothes was to remove them, and he didn't have the time to think about such things.
The reason he had teleported back was because he had no confidence in being able to save everyone from the Chu Clan. Even if the Spirit Race reinforcements did not arrive, he would not be able to save everyone from the Chu Clan just by relying on the Spirit Race's troops. Of course, the most important thing was that Lu An was certain that the Spirit Race had reinforcements, so he couldn't take the risk!
Asking for reinforcements was definitely much wiser than doing it himself!
One of the Fu Clan's leaders immediately came in front of Lu An. He naturally saw the bloody wound on Lu An's side and quickly asked, "What happened?"
"The Spirit Race's troops might have discovered my presence. Please send reinforcements!" Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu An quickly said, "Send reinforcements quickly. Otherwise, the nine people from the Chu Clan will die!"
