One was in the Heavenly Reflection State, one was in the Star Conglomerate State. There was no doubt about the outcome of this battle.
Yan Xiu stood in front of Fang Zhengzhi, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in his hand glowing. He knew that the two of them would only stand a chance if they worked together.
However, to Yan Xiu's surprise, Fang Zhengzhi placed his hand gently on Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan and pulled Yan Xiu behind him.
Yan Xiu did not understand.
The seven youths did not understand either.
"What is Fang Zhengzhi trying to do?"
This was the doubt that rose in everyone's heart. Could it be that he really wanted to fight Lu Yusheng alone? Is he stupid, or is he too arrogant?
Fang Zhengzhi did not speak. He looked at the snowflakes floating in the air.
More and more snowflakes danced in the air. Each one was crystal clear. They surrounded Lu Yusheng and the seven youths, as well as Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu's expression was anxious. However, Fang Zhengzhi's expression was calm.
The seven youths watched with interest. If Yan Xiu did not attack, they would not have to waste their energy.
More and more snowflakes appeared in the treasure hall, almost filling the entire hall.
The smiles on the seven youths' faces deepened. They all felt a strong sense of pressure. This was Lu Yusheng's power, the power of the Heavenly Reflection State.
But in reality, Lu Yusheng's expression was strange.
He looked at the snowflakes floating in the air. His eyes were filled with surprise, doubt, panic, and even an indescribable sense of disbelief.
Only he knew.
The snowflakes floating in the air were not under his control.
"What is going on?" Lu Yusheng was a little confused, so he instinctively looked at his surroundings. The ice and snow were still the same. Then, his eyes lit up.
Was it because of the environment?
Lu Yusheng had just broken through from the Star Conglomerate State to the Heavenly Reflection State last night. Furthermore, the method of his breakthrough was unique. He had not fully adapted to the changes in his body. As such, he could only attribute this to the environment.
"Why aren't you attacking?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng quietly. His expression was one of disdain and impatience.
"Hmph, looks like you are really stupid!" Lu Yusheng waved his hands and the snowflakes in the air moved.
It was as if he was being controlled by some kind of power. The snowflakes began to spin faster and faster. In the end, there were even gusts of cold wind that were as sharp as knives.
"Ah!" A blood-curdling scream rang out.
A young man suddenly covered his arm because there was a wound on his arm. It was caused by the cold wind that was as sharp as a blade.
"Young Master Lu, what happened to you?" The other young man seemed to be in disbelief as he looked at the injured young man with widened eyes.
But at this moment. A snowflake that was like a whirling knife was already flying towards him.
"Pierce!"
The defenseless young man's face was immediately cut open. Bright red blood flowed out, revealing a bright red color in this world of dancing snowflakes.
"Young Master Lu, don't tell me you're thinking of …" When the other young men saw their companions getting injured one after another, they instinctively retreated, trying to avoid the snow-covered area.
However, the entire treasure pavilion was filled with rapidly spinning snowflakes, so where could they hide?
"What's going on? Why can't I control the snowflakes! "Lu Yusheng's expression finally changed as he heard the screams of the youths around him.
At this moment. He could clearly feel that only a small portion of the snowflakes in the treasure pavilion were under his control. As for the rest of the snowflakes …
They were like strangers to him.
Yan Xiu's expression also changed. When he saw the spinning snowflakes, he had already planned to attack. However, Fang Zhengzhi still stopped him.
Then, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
His expression was somewhat complicated. It was a mixture of disbelief and surprise.
Fang Zhengzhi also noticed Yan Xiu's expression. However, he did not explain. Instead, he blinked at Yan Xiu.
Then, he turned to look at Lu Yusheng.
"Young Master Lu, you are indeed a man of your word. After you kill them, I will definitely keep my promise!" Fang Zhengzhi's expression was calm, almost as if he was discussing something normal with a friend.
"What promise? I … I didn't even attack them! " Lu Yusheng was stunned when he heard Fang Zhengzhi's words. He did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant.
However …
Just because he did not understand did not mean that the others did not.
When the seven youths heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, they looked at Lu Yusheng in fear. Even though they did not know what promise Fang Zhengzhi and Lu Yusheng had made, they understood one thing.
Lu Yusheng wanted to kill them!
"Young Master Lu, you don't have to keep up the act. The treasure pavilion is already under our control. I will fulfill your wish later. However, we cannot let too many people know about this!" Fang Zhengzhi continued.
Lu Yusheng's expression changed. He roughly understood what Fang Zhengzhi meant. Fang Zhengzhi was trying to sow discord. He wanted the seven of them to fight amongst themselves?!
"Don't believe him, I have no reason to attack you!" Lu Yusheng felt that he had to stop this from happening. After all, it was not a good situation to be attacked from behind.
However …
Just as Lu Yusheng finished speaking, another young man let out a blood-curdling scream. Five to six bloody wounds appeared on the young man's chest.
Every wound was so deep that one could see the bone.
In the air, snowflakes that were sprayed with blood danced in the air like vengeful spirits demanding for their lives.
The seven youths finally panicked.
They did not want to believe Fang Zhengzhi, but they had no choice but to accept reality. Lu Yusheng was the only one in the Heavenly Reflection State.
This was something that everyone knew.
Only Lu Yusheng could control these snowflakes.
Lu Yusheng's expression changed. He knew what he was doing. He could not control the snowflakes, but how could someone else control the snowflakes?
This thought flashed through Lu Yusheng's mind.
He subconsciously looked at Fang Zhengzhi's face, but all he could see was a faint smile on Fang Zhengzhi's face.
"Could it be …"
A thought flashed through Lu Yusheng's mind. However, he quickly suppressed it. Because that was impossible.
He had trained hard for so many years, with the help of countless treasures in the residence, and the insights left behind by his ancestors. Even so, he was still stuck at the pinnacle of the Star Conglomerate State.
If not for his special assistance, it would have taken him at least one or two years to break into Star Condensation. He was already twenty-four this year. He did not believe that there was such a talent in this world.
Furthermore, there was not a second person in the Great Xia Dynasty who reached the Heavenly Reflection State before the age of 18...
Impossible!
The seven youths naturally had the same thought as Lu Yusheng.
But just like Lu Yusheng, no one would believe such a thing, nor would they dare to believe it.
"Lu Yusheng, even though you are a disciple of the 13 constabularies, we are also from prestigious families. Today, we will let you have whatever you want. If you try to kill us again, don't blame us for... ah! "
A youth decided to negotiate with Lu Yusheng one last time. Unfortunately, before he could finish, the swirling snowflakes moved again. This time, there were more snowflakes than before. A full 20 to 30 snowflakes flew towards the youth.
Even though the youth was prepared, his thigh and arm were still injured by the sudden attack of the snowflakes.
The red snowflakes shot out like arrows.
The youth's face paled. However, the way he looked at Lu Yusheng was filled with hatred.
"Lu Yusheng!" The other youths could not take it any longer. Even though they did not want to believe that Lu Yusheng would attack them, the truth forced them to believe it.
Why did Lu Yusheng want to kill them?
What kind of secret agreement did Lu Yusheng and Fang Zhengzhi have?
They did not know. They did not need to know either. Lu Yusheng wanted to kill them, and he had already attacked.
As such...
No matter how unwilling they were, they had to attack.
When it was time to fight... It was time for them to shine! Even though they did not think that they had the ability to fight Lu Yusheng, even a cornered dog would jump over a wall, much less a human.
"Die!"
"Lu Yusheng, you forced us to do this!"
"Die!"
The seven blood-stained youths attacked at the same time. Every single one of them took out their weapons and used their ultimate moves without mercy.
Rays of different colors shot towards Lu Yusheng from within the snowflakes.
This was not what Lu Yusheng wanted to see. He wanted to explain himself, but the rays of light were already upon him.
As such, he could only defend.
Even though he was facing seven Star Conglomerate cultivators, Lu Yusheng did not fear them. He was already in the Heavenly Reflection State. To hurt him in his own territory...
It was difficult!
However, at this moment, the snowflakes in the sky changed again.
When he controlled the swirling snowflakes to block the rays of light from the seven youths, more snowflakes blocked his path.
"Boom boom boom..."
The snowflakes collided.
They created stars in the sky. Countless shards of ice fell to the ground, almost like a hailstorm.
With a boom, Lu Yusheng, who did not have time to defend himself, took the full brunt of the seven attacks. His entire body flew into the air, smashing into a huge ice pillar.
A few cracks appeared on the pillar, almost as if it had been cut by a knife.
"Pfft!" Lu Yusheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
His eyes were filled with shock. He could not believe that he could not block the attacks of the seven youths. There were snowflakes in his territory that he could not control?
The seven youths were stunned.
They were also a little surprised, because their attacks landed on Lu Yusheng so easily.
"What's going on?" The seven youths were confused.
At this moment, the snowflakes in the sky did not stop. Instead, they exploded and pressed down on Lu Yusheng and the seven youths.
The snowflakes that filled the sky made a heart-shaking sound, and countless cold, knife-like winds wreaked havoc in the air.
"Stab stab stab..."
A series of slicing sounds rang out.
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths spat out countless arrows of blood. In an instant, the blood mixed with the white snowflakes, creating a strange and beautiful scene in the air.
The immense pain caused Lu Yusheng to lose the strength to stand up. He slumped to the ground. However, he did not look at the seven youths. Instead, he stared wide-eyed at Fang Zhengzhi, who was smiling at him.
The seven youths regained their senses. They looked at Lu Yusheng, then at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing not too far away.
In that instant, a terrifying thought appeared in their minds.
It burned their bodies like raging flames.
Initially, they would never have dared to think of such a thing. Because, if things were really as they thought, then this matter would definitely cause the entire Great Xia Dynasty to tremble.
However, other than this reason, what else could explain this scene?
"You... are in the Heavenly Reflection State?!" Lu Yusheng made a sound from his throat. This sound was very difficult, so difficult that it made him feel hopeless. However, he still managed to ask.
The seven youths stared at Fang Zhengzhi with wide eyes.
They really wanted to hear Fang Zhengzhi deny it, but the snowflakes that were still dancing in the sky seemed to be answering this question that was no longer necessary.
If...
The snowflakes in the sky were really controlled by Lu Yusheng.
Then why did he not block it just now?
There was no need to answer this question. What was laughable was that they were still questioning Fang Zhengzhi. Was he in the Heavenly Reflection State?!
"Young Master Lu, are you blind?" Fang Zhengzhi smirked. Then, he willed the snowflakes in the sky to change.
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths instinctively wanted to dodge, but they could not move.
They could only look at the rapidly spinning snowflakes in the sky, their faces filled with despair...
"Are we going to die?!" Lu Yusheng and the seven youths had the same thought. They did not want to die like this, but they were powerless to resist.
At that moment...
The snowflakes in the sky stopped.
Lu Yusheng and the seven youths stopped as well. They saw a few words. A few words formed by the snowflakes floated in the sky.
