Seeing that his threat was ineffective against Lu Xuan, Zheng Ping was taken aback and yelled, "Which sect are you from? Do you know who I am? How dare you ask me to get lost. Do you believe I won't wipe out the sect behind you as well? "
"I don't know who you are and I'm too lazy to know. I only know that I will count to three. If you don't get lost, you can stay here forever!" Lu Xuan said coldly.
"Three!" Lu Xuan took out the Masked Dust Sword.
Zheng Ping glared at Lu Xuan with his furious eyes and shouted, "I am from the Eight Direction Sacred Temple's Zheng Clan. If you dare to touch me, Eight Direction Sacred Temple will not let you off!"
"Two!" Lu Xuan was unmoved. His dense essence force began to fluctuate with an imposing aura.
Zheng Ping couldn't hold it in any longer and took a step back. Lu Xuan had destroyed all his sword qi just now. It was obvious that Lu Xuan was stronger than him. But if he were to leave now, he would lose face. He spoke again, "As long as you kill this fox and give up this cave, I won't pursue this matter. You don't have to cripple your own dantian either."
"One!" Lu Xuan's eyes swept across Zheng Ping's body as he said faintly, "Looks like you want to stay. As you wish."
With a swing of the Masked Dust Sword, a sword qi shot out with ferocious force. Zheng Ping didn't expect Lu Xuan to dare to make a move despite knowing that he was from Eight Direction Sacred Temple. He hurriedly executed his movement technique and fled out of the cave. He didn't forget to turn back and yell, "Kid, don't leave if you dare. Let's see how arrogant you can be when my clan's elders are here!"
Yi Rou saw Zheng Ping escaping alone and couldn't help but yell, "Senior Zheng, wait for me."
Finishing her sentence, she followed closely behind and left the cave. She was only at the sixth level of the Origin Realm and wasn't Lu Xuan's match.
Seeing the two escaping, Little Tanuki walked to Lu Xuan and asked meekly, "Xuan, did I get into trouble?"
Lu Xuan sheathed his longsword and rubbed Little Tanuki's head with a smile, "No, you did well. Sometimes, being too kind will only lead to being bullied."
"But, there seems to be someone powerful behind them. What if they come looking for trouble later?" Little Tanuki tilted her head and said, "Why don't we leave now? At most, we'll give this to them."
Lu Xuan shook his head. "Right now, the sandstorm is wreaking havoc outside, and it hasn't stopped yet. It's too dangerous to go out now. Moreover, we took this cave from Lar, so there's no reason for us to give it to them. If they dare to come looking for trouble, I, Lu Xuan, will take them on! Moreover, according to city lord Shen, the Zheng family isn't one of the three most powerful organisations in the Octagonal Sacred Palace. "
"Alright! If we really can't beat them, I will use Void Travel to escape with you, Xuan. Hmph, I don't believe they can catch up! "Little Tanuki jumped onto Lu Xuan's shoulder and said.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. Little Tanuki kept saying that she didn't want to be a Little Tanuki that ran for her life, but when faced with danger, she would still think of an escape route first. However, her Void Travel was indeed a great life-saving skill.
At that moment, Lu Xuan didn't do anything else. Since that Zheng Ping said he was looking for trouble, he would just wait and see.
After absorbing Lar's soul power, both of Lu Xuan's soul lakes were now full, returning to the size of 1200 feet and expanding again. As for the soul bead, Lu Xuan didn't use it, leaving it for Chen Xiaohan to absorb.
Not long after, Lu Xuan sensed a group of more than ten people rushing towards the cave. If he guessed correctly, they must be the reinforcements that Zheng Ping called. One of them had a strong qi presence and was undoubtedly an Origin Realm martial artist. However, he wasn't ridiculously strong. Lu Xuan estimated that he was at most in the initial stage of Great Void Realm.
He stood up and quietly stood in front of the cave. The sandstorm outside was getting more and more violent. Fortunately, he had a cave to hide in, so he was not sucked into it. The people he sensed were rushing over from the edge of the sandstorm, looking menacing.
Among Zheng Ping's group, there was a middle-aged man with the strongest strength. He was the initial stage Great Void Realm expert that Lu Xuan sensed. He was the Zheng Clan's elder, Zheng Qiwei, and also Zheng Ping's master.
The Zheng Clan might be a clan, but in reality, it wasn't much different from a sect. After countless years of development, the Zheng Clan had given birth to many branches. Even if they had the same surname, there might not be much blood relationship between them. Only those who had a close relationship with the Zheng Clan Patriarch would have a high status in the Zheng Clan, and Zheng Ping was undoubtedly one of them.
Arriving in front of the cave, Zheng Ping pointed at Lu Xuan. "Master, it's the fox next to this kid that ruined my face."
Lu Xuan looked over. Zheng Ping's face was wrapped in bandages, revealing only his mouth and eyes. Clearly, he had been bandaged. He looked to be in a sorry state.
Zheng Qiwei stepped forward, glaring at Lu Xuan. "You're from the Jiuhua Alliance?"
Lu Xuan smiled faintly. "I'm from the Profound Ice Pavilion, but you can call me that."
Zheng Qiwei's voice was cold. "A mere disciple of a fourth-rank sect dares to be so arrogant. How dare you injure my disciple? Leave this fox, cripple your dantian, and sever your meridians, and I'll let you go."
Lu Xuan smirked. "As expected, being a master is different. Your disciple wanted me to cripple my dantian, but you want me to sever my meridians."
"I've already given you a chance, but you didn't want it. Sparing your life is already an act of kindness. I gave you face, but you don't want it!" Zheng Ping roared. Unfortunately, his words tugged at the wounds on his face. He couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. Even his voice changed.
"You don't even have a face, so don't talk to me about face," Lu Xuan said. "So this is the reinforcement you've called? He doesn't look like much."
Anger flashed across Zheng Qiwei's face. "It looks like you won't accept my offer," he growled. "When my sword strikes, I never leave anyone alive. Think carefully!"
"Is that so? Then I'm afraid you'll have to make an exception this time. " Lu Xuan smiled faintly. "I've heard that Octagon Holy Temple isn't on good terms with the Jiuhua Alliance. You've come to make trouble for me, and yet you're so noisy. Are you afraid of the Jiuhua Alliance? Don't worry, I don't have much of a relationship with the Jiuhua Alliance. "
Though Lu Xuan's tone was calm, anyone could hear the provocation in his words. Zheng Qiwei was a Virtualized Realm expert, and a member of the Octagon Holy Temple's Zheng family. How could he tolerate the provocation of an Origin Realm disciple from a fourth-grade sect?
A longsword silently appeared in Zheng Qiwei's hand. He slowly drew it from its scabbard, revealing a glimmer of light. "The name of this sword is Life Seizing. It's the finest of mid-grade earth-class treasures. Once it's unsheathed, it must drink its life, or else it won't return to its scabbard. Today, you shall be the sacrifice."
Lu Xuan was amused by his words. He couldn't help but laugh. "You dare show off a mid-grade earth-class treasure? What do you mean it won't return to its scabbard until it drinks its life? Then throw that scabbard away. It doesn't look good anyway. "
Seeing that Lu Xuan dared to insult his beloved sword, Zheng Qiwei's eyes flashed with anger. "You're courting death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Qiwei instantly used his movement technique. His snow-white longsword drew a white sword light. It was extremely ethereal, and it was impossible to see where he was going to stab.
What kind of sword dao was this? Lu Xuan was curious. He already knew from Ye Tian that there were countless types of sword dao. But he was too lazy to study it. The Misty Dust Sword swept out. It looked like it had no technique, but it was actually more powerful than one!
Ding! The two swords clashed. Zheng Qiwei's sword had actually slashed onto Lu Xuan's sword. The body of the sword trembled, and it returned to nothing.
"How did you see through my Dao of the Illusory Sword?" Zheng Qiwei angrily asked.
"There's no need to see through it. I just casually swung my sword. You clearly came at me yourself. Perhaps you're afraid of the Jiuhua Alliance and don't want to avenge your disciple? Are you putting on a show?" Lu Xuan's voice was filled with surprise.
With these words, Zheng Ping couldn't help but look at Zheng Qiwei with a hint of suspicion. This kid was right. His master clearly had the strength of the Virtualized Realm. Even if they clashed once, that kid shouldn't have been able to withstand it. How could it be so easy? Could it be that what he said was true?
Feeling the gazes of the disciples behind him, Zheng Qiwei couldn't keep his composure. "What nonsense are you spouting?" he roared. "My Octagon Holy Temple is so powerful, we're not afraid of the measly Jiuhua Alliance. With three strikes, I'll take your life!"
With that, Zheng Qiwei made another move. His longsword swept out, and boundless sword aura filled the sky. The aura was both real and fake, and fake and real. It was impossible to see through the illusions.
Lu Xuan nodded inwardly. This Dao of the Illusory Sword had some skill. However, in the face of absolute power, everything was illusory!
"Fallen Star!" Lu Xuan roared. He swung his Mengchen sword, and a beam of sword aura descended from the sky like a falling star. It slammed into Zheng Qiwei with boundless force. His boundless sword aura was instantly shattered by the Fallen Star. Whether it was real or fake, it was all annihilated.
Zheng Qiwei was slightly stunned. How could this strike be so fast? It was as if Lu Xuan had only just raised his sword, and the strike was already upon him. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Lu Xuan had fused the Laws of Time and a sliver of the Laws of Space into Fallen Star. It was already incomparably fast, and Zheng Qiwei's reaction was to be expected.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, as if he was telling the truth, "So you didn't make any moves, huh? It was all a trick. You scared me. Since it's all an act, bring it on. I've already used one sword, and there are two more to go. Feel free to make your move."
"Master, you're not really acting, are you?" Zheng Ping couldn't help but ask. From what he could see, what Lu Xuan said was completely true. Otherwise, how could his master's move be so easily broken by a kid at the Origin Realm?
"Shut up!" Zheng Qiwei was embarrassed into anger. "This kid's strength is extraordinary. I was too careless. I'll kill him within two strikes!"
