This was what Lu Xuan had comprehended from the sword strike that killed Bai Chi. Although it was far from reaching that level and was unable to possess that kind of essence, it was still able to imitate the form of that sword. Even if it only had the form of that sword, it would still greatly increase the power of the sword intent. It must be known that that was the embryonic form of sword intent at the middle stage.
As the sword intent suddenly rushed forward, the martial artist at the eighth rank of Body Refinement only felt that the aura emitted by Lu Xuan had suddenly increased. An incomparably sharp aura, as if it wanted to directly exterminate him. His heart was incomparably shocked, and the movements of his hands couldn't help but slow down by thirty percent.
But Lu Xuan's movements were even faster. The Rushing Thunder Flash flashed again, and without warning, he appeared in front of the martial artist. His sword stabbed forward, and the Star Shattering Sword easily pierced through the martial artist's chest. Sword Qi burst forth, and immediately, the martial artist's five viscera and six bowels were all crushed.
As Lu Xuan withdrew his sword and retreated, the martial artist's eyes were wide open. His body powerlessly fell to the ground, unceasingly twitching. For a moment, it was obvious that he hadn't died. He had never thought that he would actually die at the hands of a martial artist at the sixth rank of Body Refinement. Moreover, he had died in such a straightforward manner. It was completely due to the suppression of strength!
People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Since he had designs on Lu Xuan, he naturally had to be prepared to bear the consequences.
The scene of Lu Xuan killing the martial artist at the eighth rank of Body Refinement naturally fell into the eyes of the surrounding martial artists. Each and every one of them was incomparably shocked. This was an existence at the eighth rank of Body Refinement. In the secular world, he could be considered an absolute expert. It must be known that when Long Zhan was only at the seventh rank of Body Refinement, he was able to dominate Qingshan Town.
Just who was this young man? Wasn't his combat strength too frightening? If it weren't for the fact that Lu Xuan used a sword and not a saber, perhaps they would have directly thought that Lu Xuan was a core disciple of the Heavenly Saber Sect.
Seeing this scene, the restless spectating martial artists had already dispelled their greedy thoughts. Almost all of the martial artists here had strength between the fifth and eighth rank of Body Refinement. Giving up their lives for a mere treasure level weapon was really not worth it.
More importantly, they didn't know Lu Xuan's identity. Even if he wasn't a core disciple of the Heavenly Saber Sect, his status was absolutely not low. Even if they killed Lu Xuan, in the future, his elders would come to find them and they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Coldly sweeping his eyes over the crowd, Lu Xuan took Zhang Dongshuang's hand, Lu Xuan of Lu's hand, and Lu's hands, Lu Xuan's Lu, Xuan's hands his. Of Saint, Ye Chi, Xuan of the Lu of of of Qi, but even, he, he, even stronger, if they, Lu, in, they, of Lu, he, and, and they would., and they, they, they.
Killing four martial artists at the seventh level of Body Refinement with a single strike, and even martial artists at the eighth level of Body Refinement were unable to withstand a single strike, Lu Xuan's strength had already thoroughly scared the wits out of them. No one was willing to throw away their lives for the Liu family's little bit of money, it was really not necessary.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Lu Xuan and Zhang Dongshuang's figures disappeared from the entrance.
Seeing Lu Xuan leave, the crowd let out a long breath, especially some of the higher level martial artists. Normally, they wouldn't even put a person at the sixth rank of Body Refinement in their eyes, but today, Lu Xuan had used his strength at the sixth rank of Body Refinement to intimidate the entire crowd, causing them to not dare to act blindly without thinking.
"That youngster's battle prowess was too terrifying. Being able to easily kill someone at the eighth rank of Body Refinement at the sixth rank of Body Refinement, if his strength were to advance another step, wouldn't he be even more terrifying?"
"That's right, his entire body's aura was too strong. Normally, I'm quite courageous, but just now, he only glanced at me and I broke out in a cold sweat."
"What do you guys think, where did this youngster come from? Such a strong strength, he definitely isn't someone that a small clan can cultivate. "
"He shouldn't be from the Sky Blade Sect, the martial artists of the Sky Blade Sect all use blades, but this youngster uses a sword."
"Could he be a core disciple of the Wind Sword School? The territory of the Wind Sword School is right next to the Peerless Empire. "Through some clues, some of these martial artists had also guessed Lu Xuan's background.
"Who cares who he is, this matter doesn't concern us, let's not bother with other people's business."
… …
As the crowd of martial artists discussed spiritedly, Lu Xuan had already thrown all of this to the back of his mind. He definitely couldn't stay in this small town any longer. The Liu Family's Second Patriarch had died here, the Liu Family definitely wouldn't let this matter rest. Unless he used the Ten Thousand Sword Talisman again, with Lu Xuan's own strength, he would be completely unable to deal with them.
Bringing Zhang Dongshuang with him, Lu Xuan arrived at the inn where the mounts were kept. He found his four Snow Dragon Horses, and the two of them flew out of the inn at an extremely fast speed. Their destination was the Hengduan Mountain Range!
The distance from here to the Hengduan Mountain Range was not far. After madly rushing all the way, in less than an hour, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of the Hengduan Mountain Range. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at the mountain range, it seemed even more lofty and majestic. As far as the eye could see, it was all the territory of the Hengduan Mountain Range.
"Let's take a rest here first. At night, all kinds of ferocious beasts are active. It's too dangerous to enter the mountain now." Lu Xuan stopped at the foot of the mountain and didn't advance any further.
In the mountain range at night, not only were ferocious beasts rampaging, but because of the poor lighting, it was extremely easy to be ambushed. It wasn't a good time to enter the mountain. If they lit a torch, they would become a target for all and die without a burial.
"Young hero Lu Xuan, you've saved me once again. I really can't thank you enough. After I've avenged my family, if you don't mind, I'm willing to be your servant to repay your kindness." Zhang Dongshuang looked at Lu Xuan and said sincerely.
Lu Xuan faintly smiled and shook his head, "Miss Zhang, there's no need to be like this. Since I have the ability to save you, I naturally have to help. How could I watch you fall into danger?"
Before using the Myriad Sword Talisman, Lu Xuan had indeed hesitated for a moment. After all, this was his life-saving trump card, and he couldn't easily use it. However, when he thought of using the Myriad Sword Talisman, it was extremely likely that he could save the lives of Zhang Dongshuang's family, so he decisively used it.
While a five-star talisman was precious, it was only a worldly possession after all. It was nothing compared to the lives of a family. There were too many people in the world who were suffering, and it was impossible for Lu Xuan to save all of them. However, it was not his style to stand by and do nothing.
Hearing this, Zhang Dongshuang bitterly laughed and said, "Although I do not know young hero's identity, I believe that your background is not ordinary. It is definitely not something that I can match up to. Since that is the case, if I can obtain the inheritance later, young hero can choose anything you want. If young hero can help me take revenge, there is no harm in taking all the inheritance."
Zhang Dongshuang's actions could be said to be quite generous. As long as she could get revenge, she was willing to give all the inheritance to Lu Xuan.
This was because she knew that if it wasn't for Lu Xuan saving her time and time again, she would have become a puppet in the hands of Bai Chi or the Liu family. She might even have died.
If she could save her parents and destroy the Liu family to get revenge for the Zhang family, she would not mind giving up the inheritance. It was because of this inheritance that the Zhang family had become like this.
However, Lu Xuan refused Zhang Dongshuang's generous gift.
"If there's something useful to me, I naturally won't refuse. However, Miss Zhang, you should keep the rest for yourself. After all, it was left by the Zhang family's ancestor in hopes that you can use it to rise."
Lu Xuan insisted on not taking it. Zhang Dongshuang sighed softly and did not mention it again. It wouldn't be too late to talk about it after obtaining the inheritance.
It was already past midnight at the moment, and there were still a few more hours before the sun would rise. Lu Xuan trained where he was while Zhang Dongshuang took a nap at the side. The time that followed was very peaceful, and nothing unexpected happened.
The sky also began to gradually brighten. When the sky was completely bright, Lu Xuan finally opened his eyes. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and the aura around his body actually rose again!
Just during this one night of cultivation, his strength unexpectedly broke through again, successfully reaching the peak of the sixth level of Body Refinement in one go from the sixth level of Body Refinement to the peak of the sixth level of Body Refinement. He only needed an opportunity, and he would be able to step into the seventh level of Body Refinement.
The increase in strength was naturally not without reason. Outside of Peerless Shuang City, Lu Xuan had already benefited greatly from the battle with Bai Chi and the stupid bear. Moreover, the following seven days of travel had also allowed him to comprehend many things. The battle at the inn in the small town caused Lu Xuan's accumulation to change from quantitative to qualitative.
Everything happened naturally. Right now, Lu Xuan's foundation of the 6th layer was already very solid. Breaking through to the 7th layer was only a matter of time.
His strength advancing once again undoubtedly caused Lu Xuan's confidence to greatly increase. He also had more confidence in dealing with the upcoming situation.
"Let's go, we'll enter the mountains." Lu Xuan said.
"What about these horses?" Zhang Dongshuang asked.
"Just leave them here. If they're lost, then so be it." Lu Xuan said indifferently. A few batches of Snow Dragon Horses, to ordinary people or even low level martial artists, may have a high value. However, to him, it was not considered a precious item.
After tying the four horses to a few nearby trees, the two immediately headed into the mountains. A trace of dazzling sunlight shone through the leaves of the forest, leaving behind mottled shadows that were extremely beautiful.
After the two had walked for a distance, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of something. He immediately asked, "Within this Hengduan Mountain Range, there are many martial artists coming and going. Even the majority of them came from the ruins left behind by experts. The inheritance left behind by your ancestors wouldn't have been discovered by others, right?"
Zhang Dongshuang pursed her lips and smiled, "Young hero, you don't need to worry about this. Not to mention that the inheritance of our ancestors requires the bloodline of a descendant to be the key to enter. Moreover, to find the place of inheritance is not that simple. Only the direct descendants of our Zhang family know how to find it."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan immediately relaxed. If the two of them had come from a thousand miles away and found nothing, that would be very interesting.
As they entered deeper and deeper into the mountains, the roars of beasts constantly sounded. Lu Xuan did not dare to be careless. He gripped the Star Shattering Sword in his hand, ready to guard against any possible danger.
Zhang Dongshuang was still holding onto the saber that Lu Xuan had given her, following closely behind Lu Xuan. Her strength was only at the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm. There were many ferocious beasts in the vast Hengduan Mountain Range, and many of them were not something that she could handle.
