"Has the Sikong family finally revealed their ambition?" Ye Guangjian stroked his beard and chuckled. "When I took control of the Jiuhua Alliance, the Sikong family had already shown signs of wanting to ally with the Ye family through marriage. I'm afraid that the marriage was just an excuse, and that they wanted to find out more about the Ye family."
"Right now, the fifth-rank sects are in a tense situation. Though I'm worried about my friend's poison, I don't want to disrupt father's plans, nor do I want to borrow the Jiuhua Alliance's strength. That's why I can only go to the Sikong family," Lu Xuan said firmly.
Ye Guangjian glanced at Lu Xuan. "You're really a newborn calf that doesn't fear the tiger. Have you thought about the danger you'll face if your identity is exposed in the Octagon Temple?"
"Though I've returned to my family, father didn't announce it to the world. Only a few close to me know of my identity. It won't attract too much attention from the Sikong family." Lu Xuan answered. "What's more, the Sikong family and the Nangong family have fallen out. They're probably in a state of anxiety right now. They might not notice me."
Ye Guangjian didn't deny Lu Xuan's words and didn't ask further. "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to enter the Asura Mountain? Though I'm your great-grandfather, the rules were set by the ancestors. If you can't pass the mountain yourself, I won't help you. "
"Of course. I've already thought it through. If I can't pass the mountain, it only proves that I'm not strong enough. If I'm not strong enough, going to the Octagon Temple will only mean death." Lu Xuan was determined to pass the mountain.
Ye Guangjian laughed heartily, "Good, a descendant of the Ye Family should be like this. Although with your current strength, your chances of passing the Asura Mountain are very slim, but your talent is not bad. As long as you are given some time, you will definitely be able to walk out of it. But remember, after you pass the mountain, don't recklessly charge into the last mountain, the Life and Death Mountain. In there, you can live or die with a single thought. Your current strength is far from enough. "
"I'll remember great-grandfather's teachings."
"Go." Ye Guangjian waved his hand. Lu Xuan bowed respectfully and walked up the Asura Mountain.
Looking at Lu Xuan's back, Ye Guangjian stroked his beard and said, "Since Mount Jiuhua was built, only two people before the age of 30 managed to clear it. I'd like to see if my great-grandson can become the third person."
Without the isolation of the formation, Lu Xuan could clearly sense the ferocious aura coming from the Asura Mountain. If one was not strong enough, he would be affected by the ferocious aura the moment he set foot on the mountain and lose his mind. Even though Lu Xuan had the strength of a third-level Great Void Stage expert, he had to constantly circulate his cultivation method to resist the ferocious aura and keep his mind clear.
Apart from that, Lu Xuan also felt that the mountain's aura was extremely hot, almost as hot as the lava in the sealed grounds. After carefully sensing for a while, Lu Xuan muttered to himself, "I didn't expect there to be a dormant volcano at the bottom of the Asura Mountain. No wonder the environment looks so harsh."
At that moment, a few dull footsteps suddenly sounded not far to the right of Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly gathered his thoughts and looked to the right with his sword in hand.
He saw three giant lava monsters almost three meters tall walking toward Lu Xuan with heavy footsteps.
Lu Xuan took two steps back and said in surprise, "Flame Demons?"
These monsters looked extremely similar to the Flame Demons Lu Xuan encountered in the sealed grounds. Their bodies were made of hard lava stones, and from the sound of their footsteps, one could tell that they were extremely strong.
As he thought about the environment of the Asura Mountain, Lu Xuan suddenly understood. The Flame Demons in the sealed grounds were created by Huo Li, and these Flame Demons were likely born from the lava at the bottom of the Asura Mountain.
However, the Flame Demons in the sealed grounds were controlled by Huo Li, and these Flame Demons were affected by the baleful aura all year round, so they didn't have any intelligence at all. They only knew how to endlessly attack enemies that intruded into the Asura Mountain.
As expected, the moment the Flame Demons appeared, Huo Li, who was hiding in the Masked Dust Sword, popped his head out and curiously said, "These fellows look very similar to my toys."
"Can you control them?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Let me try." Huo Li quickly escaped from the Smog Sword, transforming into a ball of raging flames as he charged towards the three Flame Demons. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in front of the three Flame Demons, he was greeted by six thick arms.
Huo Li circled around the Flame Demons twice before running back in a distressed manner. He said, "This won't do, these fellows' minds are in a mess. They won't listen to me at all."
Lu Xuan smiled, understanding that these Flame Demons weren't created by Huo Li. In addition, they had been eroded by the baleful aura, so why would they care about Huo Li?
"Since that's the case, I can only kill my way up." A resolute light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes. Just now, Ye Guangjian had said that the Asura Mountain represented battle and slaughter. Who knew how many Flame Demons would be blocking the way up the Asura Mountain?
With a light shout, Lu Xuan flew up, his longsword shining like a rainbow as he attacked the three Flame Demons.
With a Soaring Dragon in the Sky, Lin Ming attacked the three Flame Demons. The sharp Masked Dust Sword slashed at the Flame Demons' solid bodies, causing sparks to fly in all directions. Unexpectedly, Lin Ming's attack was useless. Under Lu Xuan's astonishment, the three Flame Demons had already begun their attack. Their massive arms smashed down, displaying a speed that didn't match their bodies.
"Dragon Rages in the Wild!" With a loud shout, Lu Xuan's body seemed to split into three. The Masked Dust Sword slashed down with an inexhaustible force.
As the Balrog roared in pain, Lu Xuan chopped off three of its thick arms, which were made of lava stones. It seemed that the defense of these Flame Demons wasn't as tough as he had imagined. Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he thought to himself. At the same time, he didn't stop moving. Taking advantage of the moment when the Flame Demons were injured, he gripped the Masked Dust Sword with both hands and slashed down with a loud shout. This was the move that could pick up mountains and rivers.
Bang! With a loud sound, a Flame Demon's head was forcibly cut off by Lu Xuan. The Flame Demon's body immediately fell apart.
Before he could take a closer look, the other two Flame Demons had already surrounded Lu Xuan. The two Flame Demons that only had one arm left quickly extended their lava arms and grabbed at Lu Xuan. With their strength, Lu Xuan didn't doubt that as long as he was caught, even with his astonishing defense, his shoulder bones would shatter in an instant.
Wind and Lightning Transformation!
Lu Xuan's body flashed in an instant, and he darted out of the encirclement of two Fire Demons in an instant. He then struck out with his sword in a backhand manner. The Dust Sword swept out, and with a crack, another Fire Demon was killed.
The last remaining Flame Demon could no longer hold on alone. In less than three rounds, it was successfully killed by Lu Xuan. Other than the scattered corpses of the Flame Demons, there were also three dark red, rhombus-shaped crystals on the ground. Lu Xuan picked them up and found that they contained the power of fire, as well as a dense baleful aura. It seemed that these crystals were what the Flame Demons relied on to survive, Lu Xuan thought to himself as he rubbed the dark red crystals.
He had already encountered three powerful Flame Demons at the foot of the mountain. He didn't even need to think to know that as he went up, the opponents he would encounter would become stronger and stronger. Ye Guangjian had said that he only had a thirty percent chance of making it through. Lu Xuan understood his own strength very well, but from the looks of it now, he probably only had a fifty percent chance at most.
