Although the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm was only one tier higher than the fifth tier, every breakthrough in the Spirit Refinement Realm would result in a huge increase in strength.
Although Lu Xuan could kill Brother Gao, who was at the fifth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm, he might not be a match for someone at the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. If he was given time to refine all the Yuanli in his body, he might be able to put up a fight. However, Lu Xuan did not have much chance of winning against someone at the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm.
While rushing back to the cave, Lu Xuan checked the items in Senior Brother Gao's storage ring. Senior Brother Gao had gained quite a lot. There were a few high-grade Primal Stones and more than a dozen Ice Souls of different sizes. As for the Spirit Medicine, it was as he said: there were indeed two of them.
However, to Lu Xuan's disappointment, these two elixirs were not the Mysterious Ice Jade Leaf Lotus. Their value was far from it. Altogether, they were worth about two thousand contribution points.
"Looks like I'll have to rely on myself to find the elixir to save Chenxi." Lu Xuan sighed softly. He had already returned to the cave.
"Lu Xuan, how was it?" Chen Xiaohan hurriedly asked.
Lu Xuan shook his head. "I killed that guy, but I didn't get the elixir I wanted. Let's leave quickly. Someone is catching up."
After speaking, Lu Xuan quickly carried the unconscious Xia Chenxi. Chen Xiaohan was also slightly surprised. She hurriedly followed and the three of them prepared to escape.
However, it was too late. A figure landed lightly in front of the cave.
"You killed someone from the Mysterious Ice Pavilion, and you still want to run?" The person looked at Lu Xuan and said plainly.
Seeing this person, Lu Xuan's pupils shrank slightly. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and held the Shattered Ice Sword in front of him in a defensive stance. He could clearly feel that this person's strength was above that of Senior Brother Gao from before!
"Who are you?" Lu Xuan asked in a low voice. Although he had vaguely guessed the identity of the person, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Xiao Zhaohong!" The person at the cave entrance proudly announced his name.
As expected, it was him. Lu Xuan's heart sank. One of the three Sixth Level Spirit Refinement cultivators who entered the Mystic Ice Secret Realm was Xiao Zhaohong!
When Chen Xiaohan, who was behind Lu Xuan, heard Xiao Zhaohong introducing himself, her body couldn't help but tremble. She didn't expect that after escaping from Senior Brother Gao with great difficulty, an even stronger fellow would appear!
Thinking of this, a bitter smile flashed across Chen Xiaohan's face. As expected, I still can't escape this fate. However, as long as she was with Lu Xuan, she was not afraid. At worst, they could just die together.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps resounded once more. It was the group of disciples that followed Xiao Zhaohong rushing over.
As soon as they saw Lu Xuan, one of them said loudly, "Senior Brother Xiao, this is the guy who injured me and killed two of our Junior Brothers. Senior Brother Gao should have been killed by him just now!"
Lu Xuan's gaze shifted to this guy. As expected, it was the Junior Brother Ding who had left in advance because he was worried that Senior Brother Gao would attack him. He didn't expect that he would return and even lead Xiao Zhaohong here. If he had known this would happen, he would have killed him in advance.
Xiao Zhaohong smirked and glared at Lu Xuan as he said, "You're just a disciple of a third-rank sect. As a subordinate sect of the Xuan Ice Pavilion, you actually dared to attack people from the Xuan Ice Pavilion. You're too bold."
"If people don't kill me, I won't kill them. Do you want me to let you people from the Mystic Ice Pavilion kill me?" Lu Xuan stared at Xiao Zhaohong and said. He didn't have the confidence to defeat Xiao Zhaohong. Moreover, Chen Xiaohan and Xia Chenxi were behind him. He didn't dare to take the risk.
Xiao Zhaohong sneered when he heard this and said, "I don't care about your trivial matters. I heard that you have a few top-grade Origin Stones on you, and I don't care about them. All I know is that you killed the disciples of my Profound Ice Pavilion. As their senior brother, I naturally have to avenge them!"
Seeing Xiao Zhaohong like this, Lu Xuan's heart became heavier. Obviously, Xiao Zhaohong's trip was not for benefits, but purely for revenge.
If it was any other time, Lu Xuan would have admired Xiao Zhaohong's character. But now, it made his situation even more difficult.
"I was able to kill Senior Brother Gao who was in the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Naturally, I can kill any one of the people behind you. If you don't want the Mystic Ice Pavilion to suffer more losses, I think letting me go is the best choice."
As soon as Lu Xuan said that, the disciples behind Xiao Zhaohong could not help but be slightly shocked. They could not help but take a few steps back, secretly raising their guard. They were truly afraid that Lu Xuan would do anything to them.
"Are you threatening me?!" Xiao Zhaohong's eyes flashed fiercely.
"If you want to understand it that way, it's not a bad idea." In this situation, this was the only countermeasure that Lu Xuan could think of.
Xiao Zhaohong instantly fell silent. Just when Lu Xuan thought that he was going to compromise, Xiao Zhaohong raised his head again, "In order to make it in time for the opening of the Mystical Ice Secret Realm, I've stayed in the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm for two years. If I wanted to, I could break through to the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm at any time. You might have a trump card, but do you think you still have the strength to kill others when you're facing my attack?
"If you really have the ability, then they can only blame themselves for not being skilled enough. If I kill you, I'll naturally avenge them!"
Xiao Zhaohong's words once again set off a storm in Lu Xuan's heart. In order to make it in time for the opening of the Mystical Ice Secret Realm, he was actually willing to stay in the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm for two years? This Xiao Zhaohong's determination was definitely not ordinary!
In order to kill Lu Xuan, he even disregarded the lives of others. He was definitely a ruthless person.
Initially, Lu Xuan had no chance of winning against Xiao Zhaohong. Now that he knew that Xiao Zhaohong had stayed in the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Refinement Realm for two years, his chance of winning had undoubtedly dropped.
After letting out a long sigh, Lu Xuan no longer had any hope of winning. If that was the case, then let's fight!
All of a sudden, Lu Xuan's body became even straighter. That compromising attitude from before vanished in an instant. His entire being was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed!
Xiao Zhaohong's eyes flickered with a hint of astonishment when he sensed the change in Lu Xuan's aura. This Lu Xuan was quite a talent. However, since he had killed a disciple of the Mystic Ice Pavilion, he would not let Lu Xuan go no matter what.
After handing Xia Chenxi to Chen Xiaohan, Lu Xuan turned around and looked at Xiao Zhaohong again.
"Since you're only here for revenge, then come at me alone. I don't mind fighting with you. However, I was the one who killed everyone just now. I have two companions behind me, so please let them go. "
Xiao Zhaohong was about to nod, but Junior Brother Ding's voice sounded again, "Senior Brother Xiao, that woman also used a talisman to kill some of our disciples. You can't let her go!"
Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of anger, and his gaze, which was filled with killing intent, instantly fell on Junior Brother Ding. This guy, time and again, has provoked us, and now he wants to kill us all!
Junior Brother Ding could not help but shiver when he met Lu Xuan's murderous gaze. For a moment, he could not help but regret his outspokenness. However, when he remembered that Xiao Zhaohong was here, he quickly calmed down.
"Humph, I didn't say anything wrong. Do you want to kill me to silence me?" Junior Brother Ding was also full of hatred for Lu Xuan. Previously, Lu Xuan had seriously injured him. If nothing unexpected happened, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to accomplish anything in the Mysterious Ice Secret Realm. However, he did not think that if they had not attacked Chen Xiaohan first, Lu Xuan would not have found trouble with them.
"In that case, all of you can stay." Xiao Zhaohong's gaze only swept slightly from Chen Xiaohan before he looked at Lu Xuan again. Only Lu Xuan might be able to withstand a few of his moves.
"If I don't die this time, I will definitely kill you!" Lu Xuan looked straight at Junior Brother Ding and said word by word.
Hearing this voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell, Junior Brother Ding could not speak for a moment.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's make sure you don't die first!" Xiao Zhaohong said impatiently. He raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it directly at Lu Xuan.
"I also want to see the strength of an expert in the Sixth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm." Lu Xuan took a step forward. His aura suddenly erupted without reservation. In an instant, he had reached his peak state!
"Xiaohan, take Chenxi and escape quickly! I will help you stop the pursuers. Don't be stupid at this critical moment! " Lu Xuan's voice quietly rang in Chen Xiaohan's ears. After reaching the Spirit Refinement Realm, Lu Xuan could sense his surroundings and transmit his voice at will.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Chen Xiaohan bit her lower lip and forced herself to hold back her tears. This time, she did not say anything about dying together. This was Lu Xuan risking his life to protect them. Even if it was not for herself, she had to escape for Chenxi.
After transmitting his voice, Lu Xuan got rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind. His eyes were locked on Xiao Zhaohong. He took a deep breath and instantly rushed forward!
Wind Riding Technique, activate!
Peak Intermediate Sword Essence, erupt!
Power of Bloodline, activate!
"Dragon Lurks in the Abyss!" With a low growl, the Shattered Ice Sword in Lu Xuan's hand charged at Xiao Zhaohong like a giant dragon.
"Great swordsmanship!" Xiao Zhaohong's eyes lit up. Instead of retreating, he charged forward. He mobilized the Mysterious Ice Force and displayed the strength of a peak Sixth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm without reservation. He was going to fight Lu Xuan's attack head-on!
As soon as Xiao Zhaohong launched his attack, Lu Xuan felt a strong pressure on him. A cultivator in the Sixth Tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm was indeed extraordinary.
At the moment when Lu Xuan made his move, Chen Xiaohan did not hesitate at all. She carried Xia Chenxi in her arms and quickly turned around and ran away!
Seeing Chen Xiaohan running away, the disciples behind Xiao Zhaohong immediately wanted to chase after her. At the same time, Lu Xuan's angry roar could be heard.
"Whoever chases after me will die!"
His words were filled with murderous intent. The disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion who were about to chase after Chen Xiaohan stopped and hesitated. They did not know whether they should chase after her or not. They had already seen Lu Xuan's strength. If Lu Xuan really wanted to kill them, they might not be able to keep their lives.
