Chapter 426: The Strange Xun Xiu

deal was complete, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. 。"Surnamed Lu, if that set of bow and arrows is repaired well, there will naturally be other cooperations later." 。Lu Xia Tian didn't agree r...“What's going on Why isn't there anyone here” An hour later, Qian Dali looked at the ruined scene before him with a puzzled expression. It was like a battlefield after a fierce battle.

Several spirit birds lay scattered on the ground, along with the corpses of members from the Flying Cavalry Tribe. There was also a blood-stained green skirt. Lu Xiaoteng's pupils constricted. The aura on that green skirt was very familiar to him; it must be Luo Qing who was injured. Judging by the fluctuations of magical power at present, there were skilled experts among the Flying Cavalry Tribe as well.

“Judging by the looks of things, it seems to be a battle between Luò Qīng, a disciple of Gǔ Jiàn Zōng, and members of the Flying Rider Tribe.” Xún Xiū sniffed the air with his nose, quickly revealing a hint of a smile. “That’s right, it seems that Luò Qīng from Gǔ Jiàn Zōng is injured. It seems we need to hurry up and arrive before the Flying Rider Tribe kills Luò Qīng. If we're late, there will be nothing left.”

“You probably won’t get that chance.” A calm voice arose, and a man in green robes with a hood stepped out lightly from the dense bushes.

“You, you are Lu Xiaottian!” Although Lu Xiaottian was wearing a dust cloak, both of them held a deep hatred for him. Qian Dali was because of his decades-long feud with Lu Xiaottian. As for Xun Xiu, he originally didn't have any irreconcilable hatred with Lu Xiaottian. However, after practicing the strange technique on the black scales, his temperament changed drastically, becoming extremely petty. He wanted to kill anyone who had offended him. Not to mention that Lu Xiaottian had embarrassed him several times.

The two were exceptionally familiar with Lu Xiaoteng. Although eight years had passed since Lu Xiaoteng was chased by the Flying Cavalry tribe, their memories of his voice remained crystal clear.

"Since you know, then just die." Lu Xiaitian was worried about Luo Qing's safety and had no time to waste on these two. He directly launched an Ice Soul Profound Sound attack. The two fell into a state of dazed stupor. Lu Xiaitian's figure flickered, passing by Qian Dali in a flash.

Qian Dali didn't even have time to be afraid. His body was cut in half with a single sword, from the top of his head to his hips, splitting him into two.

Lu Xia Tian made no pause, directly slashing at Xun Xiu with his sword. However, just as the blade was about to fall, a strange gleam flashed in Xun Xiu's eyes, which had been vacant moments before.

Lu Xiaotien's heart skipped a beat. This abnormality was definitely not simple, but before he could react, Xun Xiu shifted his body, simultaneously curling his fingers into claws and lunging at Lu Xiaotien's throat like lightning.

He was not affected by the Ice Soul Xuan Yin at all! Lu Xia Tian was surprised, but he wasn't panicked in the face of this unexpected turn of events. His hand sank, his blade turned, and he slashed towards Xun Xiu's claw reaching for his throat. As long as Xun Xiu didn't change his attack, his palm would be severed by the blade.

A glint of surprise flashed in Xun Xiu's eyes. He hadn't expected Lu Xia Tian to react so quickly. It was no longer realistic to strike at Lu Xia Tian's vital points directly. Xun Xiu retreated, his right hand falling downwards.

Lu Xiaitian also changed his moves, but Xun Xiu's other hand, in an unbelievable angle, looked like it had no bones at all and attacked Lu Xiaitian's dantian. His arm stretched out, seemingly practicing some kind of soft bone technique.

Lu Xiaitian remained calm and collected. His left hand shot out like lightning, striking towards the opponent with a speed that was almost impossible to match for other cultivators of the same rank at close range. As a peak sixth-rank physical cultivator, his explosive power combined with his cultivation as a tenth-layer Qi Condensation cultivator made his speed truly formidable.

Xun Xiu was also startled, his wrist tightened, and he was caught by Lu Xia Tian. Lu Xia Tian's five fingers were like iron claws, gripping him tightly.

Soon, Lu Xiaotian frowned, his grip on Xun Xiu's wrist feeling completely different from grasping a human hand. The opponent's wrist had grown a layer of black scales, slippery and impossible to hold onto. Furthermore, judging solely from the strength exerted, Xun Xiu had already surpassed an ordinary sixth-rank body cultivator. It was truly bizarre. If not for his recent breakthrough in cultivation, he might have struggled against Xun Xiu's strength and been unable to hold on.

At such close range, the Earth-Cracking Knife in Lu Xiaotian's hand seemed rather inconvenient. After all, Lu Xiaotian wasn't particularly skilled with swordsmanship; he relied on extreme speed and powerful knife intent attacks, but lacked proficiency in close-quarters combat. With a thought, he flung the Earth-Cracking Knife away.

The two engaged in a fierce battle, with Lu Xia Tian once again grasping Xun Xiu's right hand. However, a strange smile flickered across Xun Xiu's lips. His hands stretched out abnormally, like venomous snakes extending their necks, fingers merging into a single point, resembling a snake head, and lunged towards Lu Xia Tian with force, one biting towards his heart and the other towards his dantian.

Lu Xiaoxiao was startled. He hadn't expected Xun Xiu to have such a trick up his sleeve. It seemed to have taken him by surprise. Lu Xiaoxiao had been holding onto Xun Xiu's left hand, and Xun Xiu had been enduring it silently until now. With this double attack, Lu Xiaoxiao found himself unable to cope with both attacks simultaneously. Whether it was the dantian or the heart, these were vital points for a cultivator.

Xun Xiu's attack was well-calculated. He knew that Lu Xiaotian possessed extraordinary combat power. Even though Yuan Hao from the Ancient Sword Sect and Meng Yu, who were hostile cultivators, had spoken ill of Lu Xiaotian, fame never comes without substance. Someone capable of killing dozens of flying cavalry warriors effortlessly could not be compared to ordinary people. Even though Xun Xiu was confident in his formidable physical strength and considered himself unbeatable in close combat, he hadn't expected that after cultivating that peculiar technique, Lu Xiaotian's power had surpassed his own. If it weren't for the peculiarity of the technique on those black scales, he would have been completely powerless to resist.

But now, let's see how Lu Xiaoteng can cope with this. Xun Xiu let out a sneer, no matter the heart or dantian, as long as he was hit in either place, even the strongest person, even if they wore soft armor to defend against sword and blade-like magic weapons, could not completely offset the penetrating power of his attack. Even if Lu Xiaoteng didn't die, wasn't seriously injured, or even just lightly wounded, his movements would have to momentarily stagnate because of this attack. Even for an instant, it would be enough for him to take Lu Xiaoteng's life.

“You have pushed me to this point, so you are indeed worthy of pride. However, it seems you are not as formidable as the rumors claimed!” Xun Xiu's face flashed with a hint of triumph. Lu Xia Tian, who had made a name for himself throughout the entire Mengyue Immortal Cultivation world, was actually going to die at his hands. Just thinking about it filled him with excitement.

"Is that so" Lu Xia Tian sneered.

Seeing Lu Xiaitian's calm face, Xun Xiu suddenly felt something was wrong, but he didn't know where this feeling came from. Suddenly, a sharp blade of air struck. The blow aimed at Lu Xiaitian's dantian suddenly felt like hitting a blade. The golden sword that Lu Xiaitian had thrown away earlier appeared inexplicably between the two of them. The blow that was supposed to hit Lu Xiaitian's dantian now landed on the blade of the Split Earth Sword.
