This was indeed Chu Ming's plan. From the beginning, he feigned weakness to create distance between himself and Yang Zong, to prevent Yang Zong from having the chance to save Luo Chuan.
In fact, after breaking through to the Third Layer of the Transcendence Realm, he should have a higher ranking than Luo Chuan on the Cyan Yang List, but not by much. It would still be difficult to kill Luo Chuan, especially when Luo Chuan was vigilant.
Thus, feigning weakness at the start also lulled Luo Chuan's vigilance to the lowest point, providing an opportunity to deliver his fatal strike. As for the injuries from the clash, they were entirely fake, causing no real harm, merely to make Luo Chuan more convinced.
Pu pu pu...
A gentle breeze blew across Luo Chuan's body, instantly riddling it with countless wounds. Blood continuously oozed out, and he was dead beyond any doubt.
