Lu Xuan had witnessed Yi Yong's performance. Yi Yong's actions had completely dispelled the last of Lu Xuan's doubts about Yi Yong.
Although Ye Wuhen had told him that Yi Yong was absolutely trustworthy, Lu Xuan had his own principles. He couldn't just trust someone based on a single sentence. Moreover, there were too many accidents on this trip to the Red Flame Palace. First, he was investigated by Fang Yuanbai. Then, he was ambushed by Commander Fang, who was at the pinnacle of the Great Void Realm. After arriving at the Eastern Palace, he was intercepted by Fang Tianfeng.
Lu Xuan did have some suspicions about Yi Yong. He didn't rule out the possibility that Yi Yong had sent word to the Fang family. After all, as far as Lu Xuan was concerned, Yi Yong was an elder of the Fang family who didn't share the same surname. He wasn't any less powerful than a Hall Master of the Anying Hall, who couldn't show his face in public.
But then again, Yi Yong's concern for him was genuine. Lu Xuan never doubted the people he used, and he never trusted those he doubted. Now that he had confirmed that Yi Yong was trustworthy, he might be able to tell Yi Yong what to do next in the Sacred Hall of Eight Corners. After all, dealing with the Sikong clan in their lair and the Fang clan in Crimson Flame City were two completely different levels of difficulty.
"Let's go. Let's get the Nangong family's inheritance first." Lu Xuan leaned weakly on Ao Ze. Although the power of the Divine Glyphs in his body was quickly healing his body, he still needed some time to recover from the severe injuries he had suffered.
But they had only taken a few steps when a rumbling sound came from behind them. The three of them looked back at the same time and saw Fang Yuanbai slowly stand up from the ground.
At this moment, Fang Yuanbai wasn't in good shape. His clothes were torn and his hair was messy. He no longer looked like a strong cultivator.
Although his palm had almost killed Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan's Void Destruction Force wasn't easy to deal with. Back in the sealed grounds, even an old monster like Sikong Bei had been defeated by the Void Shattering Force.
Although Lu Xuan had borrowed the power of the sealed land back then, his strength was only at Level Two of the Great Void Realm at that time. Now that Lu Xuan had reached Level Five of the Great Void Realm, his strength had far surpassed that time. Moreover, Fang Yuanbai had already been injured by Nangong Lie.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at Fang Yuanbai, who stood up slowly and glared at him coldly. He had thought that Fang Yuanbai would have been knocked out by the Void Shattering Force right away. Even if he hadn't been knocked out, he wouldn't have come back. He never expected Fang Yuanbai to actually come back.
Fang Yuanbai stared unblinkingly at Lu Xuan as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a sinister tone, "Brat, as long as I'm here, don't even think about taking away the Nangong Family's inheritance!"
The moment Fang Yuanbai wiped the blood, Lu Xuan noticed that Fang Yuanbai's palms were already broken. The streaks of blood indicated that Fang Yuanbai's injuries were extremely serious.
Previously, Fang Yuanbai's palms had turned fiery red, which was a sign of crystallization. It made his palms extremely sturdy, and he would have no problem catching a blade with his bare hands. However, Lu Xuan's Void Shattering Force had directly broken his palms, resulting in such a situation. Without sufficient Heaven and Earth treasures and a long period of recuperation, Fang Yuanbai's hands would be completely crippled. Lu Xuan did not expect Fang Yuanbai to still dare to come despite knowing that he was so seriously injured.
Lu Xuan coughed and chuckled. "Is it worth it to sacrifice half of your life's strength for a mere Nangong Family's inheritance?"
At this moment, although Lu Xuan was injured, he did not lose the ability to fight. Moreover, Ao Ze and Yi Yong were present. Even if Fang Yuanbai could really protect the Nangong Family's inheritance, his hands would definitely be completely crippled. However, despite knowing this, he still came.
Meeting Lu Xuan's gaze, Fang Yuanbai nodded. "It's worth it! This is the responsibility that the Fang Family has entrusted to me. The blood of the Fang Family flows in my body. As long as I am still alive, as long as I can stand up, you guys can forget about taking away the inheritance. "
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly. At this moment, he had a new understanding of Fang Yuanbai. Although the two of them had different paths and could not work together, Fang Yuanbai's willingness to sacrifice himself for the family was enough to earn Lu Xuan's admiration.
The world only saw that the ancient families were powerful and enjoyed generous resources. Little did they know that it was people like Fang Yuanbai who continuously sacrificed for the family that could create the foundation of an ancient family's inheritance. As for those families that were currently enjoying generous resources, perhaps one day, they would also make the same choice as Fang Yuanbai.
Almost every family had people like Fang Yuanbai, and there were many of them. Perhaps from a bystander's point of view, they were fools. Because even if Fang Yuanbai turned around and left, even if he lost the Nangong Family's inheritance, it would not affect the Fang Family too much. Instead, they would be able to protect themselves.
However, the inheritance of an ancient family needed such fools. They paid a huge price, even their own lives, to set an example to their descendants. For the sake of the family, when it was time to sacrifice, they must not hesitate! If everyone was a "smart person" and chose to leave at this moment, then when the day came that their family was destroyed, no one would stand up for them. At most, they could just escape to a safe place. If the family was destroyed, then so be it. In any case, it was fine as long as they were still alive, wasn't it?
However, if that was really the case, would their descendants still have the generous resources to enjoy and the powerful inheritance to cultivate?
Lu Xuan slowly pushed away Ao Ze's hand that was supporting him and stood firmly on the spot. Ao Ze looked at Lu Xuan worriedly, but he did not continue to support him.
At this moment, Lu Xuan and Fang Yuanbai, two heavily injured men, stood stubbornly, facing each other.
"Your choice is worthy of my admiration." Lu Xuan's voice was sincere. "However, our paths are different, and we cannot work together. I must obtain the Nangong Family's inheritance."
"In order to respect you, this battle is only between you and me!"
"Master!"
"Emissary!"
Ao Ze and Yi Yong exclaimed at the same time. While Fang Yuanbai was severely injured, Lu Xuan was not in a good state either. If the three of them were to join forces, they would have been able to take care of Fang Yuanbai with ease. However, they did not expect Lu Xuan to make such a stupid decision.
Lu Xuan waved his hand to stop the two who were about to speak. "Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure of."
Fang Yuanbai stared at Lu Xuan for two breaths of time, then burst into laughter. "Well done! You're confident, aren't you? You're from the Alliance of Jiuhua, aren't you? I didn't think the Alliance of Jiuhua would produce such an outstanding young man like you. You have your reasons to win, and I have my responsibility to win. Let's see if it's you or me who dies! "
Boom!
A powerful aura erupted from Fang Yuanbai's body. Two extremely intense flames suddenly appeared on his hands. The flames instantly burned away the blood on his hands. Without his crystallized hands as a weapon, he could only use this method to fight. It was easy to imagine the pain Fang Yuanbai was enduring, but his face remained impassive. It was as if it was someone else's hands that were on fire.
Lu Xuan lifted the Masked Dust Sword at the same time. He slowly slid his left hand across the blade, pointing it at Fang Yuanbai.
The aura of the battle was getting stronger and stronger. Both of their auras were rising continuously. Fang Yuanbai's aura was even stronger than before. Before this, he was still suppressing his injuries. But now, he no longer had such thoughts. If he lost this battle, he would die. Injuries were no longer important.
Lu Xuan's aura was no less than Fang Yuanbai's. If Fang Yuanbai's aura was based on his peak Virtualized Realm strength, then Lu Xuan's was based on his swordsmanship!
At that moment, Lu Xuan was like a sharp sword that had just been sharpened. He stood upright between the heavens and the earth, making it almost impossible for anyone to look at him directly. The sharp sword will that emanated from his body involuntarily forced Aoze and Yi Yong to back away. They feared that they would have hurt themselves otherwise.
Gulp. Ao Ze could not help but gulp. Someone as carefree as him actually felt a hint of nervousness at this moment. Ten breaths of time passed, and Lu Xuan and Fang Yuanbai actually did not move at all. Ao Ze had a feeling that if the two of them did not move, then it would definitely be earth-shattering, and it would sweep through everything like raging waves.
As the two silently gathered their strength, Lu Xuan's eyes revealed a sense of indifference, while Fang Yuanbai's eyes were solemn. He no longer treated Lu Xuan as a little guy at Level Five of the Great Void Realm. Even if Lu Xuan was only at Level Five of the Great Void Realm, Fang Yuanbai would treat Lu Xuan as an equal since he was able to injure him with his own strength.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths!
When three breaths had passed, Lu Xuan yelled and Fang Yuanbai roared. Both of them attacked at the same time!
"Godly Fire!"
"Whirlwind and Clouds!"
A burst of boundless flames suddenly erupted from Fang Yuanbai's body, instantly turning into a red cloud. It suddenly engulfed Lu Xuan with a crushing force.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, swept out with his longsword. Boundless sword qi materialized like a sea of swords, stirring up a tornado that shot out with an earth-shattering momentum.
The fiery cloud and the sword qi collided, instantly forming a clear boundary in the air. On one side was the fiery cloud, and on the other side was the sea of sword qi. For a moment, neither was overpowering the other!
At this moment, Lu Xuan roared, "Gravity Formation, open!"
The Dust Sword suddenly became extremely heavy. The enormous force of 100,000 kilograms caused the tip of the sword to sink slightly. Holding the heavy Dust Sword with one hand, the veins on Lu Xuan's right hand bulged. Immediately after, Lu Xuan channeled all the strength in his body and swung the sword!
At this moment, the balance of power finally tilted. The boundary in the middle was completely broken. The sword qi that filled the sky broke through the fiery cloud and crushed down in an overwhelming manner. Just like its name, Whirlwind and Clouds!
"Puff!" Fang Yuanbai suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. He could no longer resist, and his body was instantly swept dozens of feet away like a fallen leaf.
He fell to the ground and never got up again. If Lu Xuan walked over at this moment, he would see a trace of satisfaction and relief on his face. This represented Fang Yuanbai's final feelings.
