"So, you've agreed to join us?" Xiang Tao couldn't help but ask in surprise. He didn't expect to convince Lu Xuan so easily. Although Lu Xuan had a handle on him, he also had a handle on Lu Xuan.
Once he and Zhi Hua were promoted, they would support Lu Xuan. Then, the Peony Palace, Jiuhua Alliance, and Profound Ice Pavilion would all become one. Xiang Tao's heart bloomed with joy as he imagined the power he would wield in the future.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Xuan asked curiously, "When did I promise you?"
Xiang Tao was taken aback. "Didn't you say what I said made sense?"
"Yes, what you said makes sense. Compared to Miss Ruo's promise, it seems your promise is more reliable." Lu Xuan nodded, still agreeing with Xiang Tao's words. Then, he added, "But sometimes, I don't like to be reasonable."
Xiang Tao's face darkened. Ruo Xiangyi, on the other hand, smiled. How could she not understand Lu Xuan's meaning?
"Lu Xuan, don't worry. If I can escape, I won't go back on my word." Ruo Xiangyi tried to win Lu Xuan over.
"What do we do? Lu Xuan has those four puppets, and we are no match for him at all. "Zhi Hua quickly transmitted her voice to Xiang Tao. She was extremely terrified at the moment.
Xiang Tao gave Lu Xuan a deep look. "I don't need you to join us. All you have to do is watch from the sidelines. That way, you won't feel any burden. What I said before still stands."
"You talk too much. Do you want to get lost, or do you want me to kick you out?" Lu Xuan waved his hand impatiently. He made his position clear.
Ruo Xiangyi's face relaxed. Xiang Tao gritted his teeth. "Lu Xuan, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You? What right do you have to make me drink a forfeit? "
"Lu Xuan is only at the sixth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm. No matter how strong the puppet is, it's still a puppet. Let's attack together and kill him instantly!" Xiang Tao quickly transmitted his voice to Zhi Hua to discuss a plan. Since things had come to this, they had no way out. Once Ruo Xiangyi escaped, whether it was Zhi Hua or Xiang Tao, once they returned to the outside world, only death would await them. At this time, he still hadn't noticed that Lu Xuan had broken through to the seventh level of Spirit Refinement.
"Good!" Zhi Hua agreed without thinking. Xiang Tao was in charge of everything.
Having finished their discussion, the two of them suddenly launched an attack. Xiang Tao's sword pierced through the air, while Zhi Hua let out a delicate shout and swung her long sleeves directly at Lu Xuan, as if she wanted to trap him.
"Be careful, Lu Xuan!" Ruo Xiangyi didn't expect that the two of them would decisively abandon her and attack Lu Xuan. This was actually the best time for Ruo Xiangyi to escape. As long as Lu Xuan could entangle Xiang Tao and Zhi Hua for a while, she would be able to escape. However, Lu Xuan was attacking for her, so she couldn't abandon Lu Xuan no matter what.
Facing the sudden attack of the two of them, Lu Xuan didn't show the slightest fear. Instead, he revealed a smile. "I'll use you two to practice!"
After reaching the Great Success Realm, he could only test his strength against the puppet. Now, it was a good opportunity to see the effect of his newly condensed Geng Gold Divine Rune.
For a moment, Lu Xuan didn't take out the puppet, nor did he even draw his sword. He raised his palms and decisively faced the two of them.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was so careless, Xiang Tao couldn't help but reveal a look of ecstasy on his face. Was Lu Xuan stupid? He didn't use the puppet, nor did he draw his sword.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. Faced with Zhi Hua's incoming sleeve, he quickly grabbed it with his left hand and caught it with extreme dexterity. The impact from the sleeve was almost completely ignored by Lu Xuan. Zhi Hua was shocked. Before she could warn him, Xiang Tao's longsword had already pierced towards Lu Xuan.
"Die!" Xiang Tao shouted with a ferocious expression. His sword was like a rainbow, slashing towards Lu Xuan.
"Let's see if your sword is sharper or my fist is harder!" Lu Xuan didn't dodge. He clenched his right hand into a fist and suddenly punched to meet Xiang Tao's sword.
Such a crazy move simply stunned Ruo Xiangyi. She even thought that Lu Xuan's brain was not normal. Although Lu Xuan's realm was not as good as Xiang Tao and Zhi Hua's, if he went all out, he would definitely be able to safely withstand the attack. When her rescue arrived, he would definitely be able to successfully repel the two of them.
While Ruo Xiangyi was still in shock, Lu Xuan's fist and Xiang Tao's sword collided. An extremely violent gust of wind erupted from Lu Xuan's fist. A faint golden luster shone, making it look very beautiful.
Boom!
The fist and sword collided, and a scene that surprised everyone appeared. The one who was forced back was not Lu Xuan, but Xiang Tao!
After receiving the full force of Lu Xuan's punch, Xiang Tao only felt an irresistible force coming from the sword, almost directly blasting into his body. For a moment, his blood and Qi surged, and he was instantly sent flying!
On the other hand, Lu Xuan still stood firmly on the ground, one hand grabbing Zhi Hua's long white sleeve. His whole body was shrouded in a dark golden armor, like a god of war.
"What kind of power and defense is this?" Ruo Xiangyi couldn't help but murmur. Xiang Tao was an existence at the peak of the Spirit Refinement realm. Among the crowd of fourth-grade sects, no one could withstand Xiang Tao's attack with their bare hands.
Lu Xuan raised his right hand and found that there was a bloodstain on the back of his hand. However, at this moment, under the effect of the Yi Wood Divine Rune, it was quickly recovering.
"Not bad, you actually broke through my defense." Lu Xuan said softly. Not only did he set up an elemental armor, but he also used the Wu Earth Divine Rune, but he was still injured by Xiang Tao. It could be seen that Xiang Tao's attack was indeed powerful. He couldn't help but think that if his Wu Earth Divine Rune was upgraded to two stars, he would be able to completely withstand this attack.
However, in Xiang Tao's ears, his words were undoubtedly a naked mockery. His full force attack was actually only able to break through Lu Xuan's defense. It was simply unimaginable, and this was under the situation where Lu Xuan only threw a punch, without using any Yuan Power.
"Come over here!" Lu Xuan's left hand pulled hard, and Zhi Hua felt an endless force passing through her sleeve. She almost couldn't stand still and was almost pulled by Lu Xuan. Fortunately, she circulated her Yuan Power in time to resist Lu Xuan's attack, but even so, she felt that she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Break!" Zhi Hua clenched her teeth and took the initiative to cut off this sleeve from Lu Xuan's powerful pulling force.
"It's not that sturdy …" Lu Xuan casually threw the broken sleeve to the ground and said. He didn't know that his performance fell into the eyes of the other three, and they were extremely shocked.
How could Lu Xuan be so powerful? Right now, there was only this thought in Xiang Tao's mind. He didn't use any puppets, not even a sword, but just his physical strength was enough to fight against him and Zhi Hua. How could he fight like this?
"Run!" Xiang Tao decisively made a decision. Without thinking, he raised his speed to the maximum and quickly fled. If he didn't leave now, he would be the one left behind.
Hearing this, Zhi Hua instantly threw down a few white peonies and followed Xiang Tao's footsteps. The white peonies instantly exploded, temporarily cutting off Lu Xuan's pursuit.
Lu Xuan didn't care whether he chased or not, and Ruo Xiangyi also wasn't in a hurry to chase. She wasn't in a good state right now, so she wouldn't be a match for them. Once they returned to the Peony Palace, she would have plenty of time to deal with the two.
A crisis was resolved by Lu Xuan, but Ruo Xiangyi didn't show much joy. Obviously, she had good self-restraint. Instead, she walked towards Lu Xuan with slight curiosity and asked, "How did you become so strong? Did you hide your strength, or did you have other fortuitous encounters? "
Lu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Had he always been weak in Ruo Xiangyi's eyes? However, the sixth level of Spirit Refinement was indeed very deceptive.
But he didn't need to confess to Ruo Xiangyi, so he just smiled and said, "You guess?"
Ruo Xiangyi covered her face and smiled, "You guess whether I guess or not?"
"You guess, I guess, you guess or not … Forget it, I don't want to guess." Lu Xuan shrugged, as if there was no end to this line of questioning.
Ruo Xiangyi didn't pester Lu Xuan. This involved Lu Xuan's secret, so she shouldn't ask too much. She then bowed slightly to Lu Xuan and said, "No matter what, thank you for saving my life. It seems like this is the second time you've saved me."
The first time was when they were facing the Tree Demon. It was Lu Xuan's timely warning that allowed Ruo Xiangyi to avoid the Tree Demon's sneak attack.
"At the same time, I seem to have no reason not to help someone who has fallen from grace. I had the same experience as you, but unfortunately, I wasn't as lucky as you to meet a good person like me."
"You were also being chased?" Ruo Xiangyi asked curiously.
Lu Xuan sighed and said, "Of course. Otherwise, who would have crossed the entire ancient forest and come to this end, almost losing their lives?"
"Who was chasing you? No, where is Zhao Binger? She should be with you. "Ruo Xiangyi suddenly realized this, and a bad feeling emerged in her heart.
"Leng Qingqiu and Lin Zeyu. I lured Lin Zeyu away. Bing Er should have returned to the outside world by now." Lu Xuan thought of Zhao Binger and couldn't help but miss her. He almost couldn't see her anymore.
"You're a good man. It seems Zhao Binger didn't misjudge you." Ruo Xiangyi looked deeply at Lu Xuan and said, "But you were able to escape from Lin Zeyu's hands, so you have some ability. That guy is very strong."
"Who said it wasn't? I can only say that I was lucky. "Lu Xuan shook his head. He didn't want to talk about the details. After all, this was related to the Pill Cauldron.
Ruo Xiangyi nodded, but then she seemed to think of something. She looked at Lu Xuan with an ugly expression and said in a low voice, "Did you hear what you said just now?"
Lu Xuan immediately understood what Ruo Xiangyi was asking. He wanted to deny it, but he felt that it was unnecessary. He could only shrug his shoulders in silence.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ruo Xiangyi said through gritted teeth. This had always been a big secret in her heart. She didn't expect it to be exposed by Zhi Hua.
"Don't worry, I'm not a blabbermouth." Lu Xuan comforted Ruo Xiangyi, but then he asked curiously, "But why do you like women …"
Ruo Xiangyi glared at Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan suddenly swallowed the last word.
"Do you like beautiful women?" Ruo Xiangyi asked.
"Uh, this, of course …" Lu Xuan said hesitantly, but then he felt that liking beautiful women wasn't a sin.
"Then why can't I like them?" Ruo Xiangyi turned her head and said confidently.
Lu Xuan heard this and couldn't help but curse. But you're a woman, and I don't like handsome men …
