Chapter 281

"Waner."

After night fell, Lu Xun once again entered Murong Wan's cultivation chamber.

After breaking through the fourth realm, Murong Wan spent most of each day painstakingly cultivating in her cultivation chamber.

Even martial cultivators of the fourth realm can replace sleep with meditation.

Seeing Lu Xun arrive, Murong Wan felt helplessness well up in her heart.

Lu Xun coming at this time is simply too much of a maiden's heart, known to all.

Everything he wants to do is written all over his face.

If she were an ordinary person, she could not possibly withstand Lu Xun's demands.

"You feel it, don't you? This is the entry-level sword intent."

However, Lu Xun did not domineeringly possess her; instead, he taught her swordsmanship hand in hand.

Lu Xun grasped her small hand, letting her feel the entry-level sword intent.

With Lu Xun's understanding of sword intent, he can naturally evolve the entry-level sword intent.

This can let Murong Wan's sword intent reach the entry-level more quickly.

Murong Wan slowly entered the state, being repeatedly led by Lu Xun.

Since both cultivate the Myriad Calamity Formless Sword, this method helps Murong Wan immensely.

Thus, they practiced sword for several hours.

Then, naturally, they began practicing another kind of martial technique.

Time thus became leisurely.

"Come, attack me with your sword."

The next morning, Fu Yue came again.

Lu Xun had no choice but to go into business.

Anyway, the opening of the Heavenly Dao battlefield is only two days away, so the hardship is just these two days.

Actually, practicing like this with Fu Yue is not bad; it can solidify things well.

On the South Heaven Gate,

The rainbow bridge shrank further and began to fade.

That day, Liu Xinghe also finally returned to Lan Xing.

"Haha, good, Xinghe, in just a few months you've broken through to the mid-fourth realm; truly you are my Liu family's qilin child!"

Liu Xinghe's father, feeling his realm, burst into laughter.

In Liu Xinghe's eyes, too, was a full sense of accomplishment.

These past months, he has been cultivating in the Spirit Realm where three stars converge, gaining greatly.

Before entering the Spirit Realm, he had just broken through the first layer of the fourth realm.

Now he has reached the fourth layer of the fourth realm, breaking into the mid-fourth realm.

If this were placed in the past, one would hardly dare imagine it.

In the second and third realms, some peerless talents, with resources maxed out, can raise a level in one or two months without difficulty.

In the fourth realm, however, it is extremely difficult.

What's more precious is that Liu Xinghe's strength is genuinely earned through his own cultivation, not boosted by things like cultivation relics.

Of course, as Lan Xing departs this ancient road node, Liu Xinghe's cultivation speed will slow down again.

Unless he stays here all the time.

But once Lan Xing leaves, the risk of him staying here becomes too great.

Fortunately, Liu Xinghe has also absorbed a considerable amount of stellar power, which he can slowly absorb over the next few years.

By then, his strength will still increase.

"Xinghe, well done."

Liu Changfeng felt a bit envious.

Liu Xinghe has now surpassed him.

He is, however, three years older than Liu Xinghe.

"Brother Feng, any news of Lu Xun?"

Liu Xinghe began to pay attention to Lu Xun.

Liu Changfeng sighed and advised: "Xinghe, actually sometimes there's no need to compare with others; doing our best ourselves is what matters most."

His words made Liu Xinghe faintly feel something amiss.

Could it be that Lu Xun has made astonishing progress these past few months?

"Brother Feng, has Lu Xun made another major breakthrough?"

Liu Xinghe asked.

Liu Changfeng remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Hmm, I just learned this myself; there's a lot of news about Lu Xun online, you can check it yourself."

"Okay."

Liu Xinghe took out his phone and searched for news related to Lu Xun.

Upon seeing this, his eyes widened quickly, he forgot to breathe, his fingers swiftly swiped across the screen, his face full of disbelief.

"Ah."

Seeing his expression, Liu Changfeng silently sighed.

He had indeed not been back long from the Starry Sky Ancient Road.

Upon returning, he just happened to hear some cultivators discussing Lu Xun.

This made Liu Changfeng think he had misheard.

Lu Xun killed a Six Realms demonic cultivator?

Liu Changfeng quickly searched for related news.

This search turned up a huge amount.

Lu Xun didn't just kill a Six Realms demonic cultivator; he killed not just one, but a full four.

Online, there were also videos from various angles.

Some far away, some slightly closer, captured with an astronomical telescope.

Liu Changfeng watched those videos over and over, but couldn't find any trace of forgery.

Moreover, a large number of Rong Cheng residents came forward to testify, confirming that Rong Cheng had indeed suffered an attack by demonic cultivators, who even set up a demonic formation capable of refining ten million Rong Cheng residents into human pills.

This left Liu Changfeng no choice but to believe it.

Being able to kill four Six Realms demonic cultivators, even if using a trump card, is still genuine skill.

With the Liu family's financial resources, they could still afford seventh- or eighth-grade talismans and the like.

But even if given Liu Changfeng an eighth-grade talisman, he wouldn't have full confidence in being able to kill a Six Realms cultivator with certainty.

The confidence with a seventh-grade talisman is even lower.

Using an eighth-grade attack talisman or the like, killing one might be possible, but killing four... that's doubly difficult.

Moreover, eighth-grade talismans are astronomically priced, their materials are extremely scarce, and the Liu family doesn't have many on hand.

Generally, they are given to the descendants of the Six-Seven Realms for self-defense, and what Liu Changfeng and his group match up with is at most a sixth-grade talisman.

That's actually unnecessary and could even get some descendants who like to take risks killed.

When one's strength is weak, encountering an enemy or danger two or three realms higher, the best choice is to detour and avoid provoking it.

If one cannot detour, then use an escape talisman or the like to flee.

Using high-grade talismans to gamble is the most foolish approach.

You have a trump card, but don't they have one as well?

Moreover, from the videos, Lu Xun seems not to have used a powerful talisman or the like.

This, this, this...

After watching for a while, Liu Xinghe was so shocked he could hardly speak.

"Xinghe, someone has analyzed that Lu Xun possibly obtained an opportunity like a cultivation relic, so there's no need to compete with him now; your physique is so heaven-defying, surpassing him is just a matter of time."

Liu Changfeng comforted him.

However, no matter how he comforted him, on the way back Liu Xinghe remained silent, his face as changeable as June weather.

Liu Changfeng couldn't help but worry.

Liu Xinghe wouldn't have his Dao heart shattered, would he?

"Impossible!"

It's not just Liu Xinghe whose Dao heart could be shattered.

In the northeastern region of the East, in a city in the sky, Wei Guangyao, upon returning home, saw this news that almost made him jump in shock.

Ever since he forged a grudge in the underground cellar secret realm, and then was chased by Lu Xun to Wanliu Academy to collect a debt, Wei Guangyao has constantly thought about getting his revenge.

This time, in the ancient road node, Wei Guangyao's gains were average.

But the Wei family's gains were quite good.

Only then did Wei Guangyao return home, preparing to make good use of the spiritual treasures obtained at home to boost his strength.

Who would have thought, while browsing the news, he happened to see Lu Xun's news.

This made Wei Guangyao instantly break through his psychological defense.

Over the past few months, although he gained considerable experience, his cultivation only increased by one level.

Even with the opportunity Wei Guang obtained, he is confident he can break through to the Fifth Realm within a few years.

But that's only the Fifth Realm.

Lu Xun can now kill Six Realms cultivators!

Damn, how to compare?

At this moment, a deep sense of helplessness arose in Wei Guangyao's heart.

As a heaven's pride, he experienced the true taste of despair for the first time.

"Ah..."

"Shouting, shouting, shouting, all you know is how to shout, you bitchy woman, if it weren't for you, how would I have provoked Lu Xun?"

On the other side.

The Lin family, Lin Qiang was lashing out at Liu Mei.

Liu Mei curled up there, covered in wounds.

Since Lin Qiang learned about the Rong Cheng incident, he hasn't gone a day without beating her.

Liu Mei felt regret in her heart.

If she had known earlier that Lu Xun had become this formidable, and if she had seized him, her present days would be how glorious.

"Just you, a jinx, no wonder Lu Xun doesn't want you; you don't even think, if you really followed Lu Xun, how could he have achieved today? I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck..."

Lin Qiang seemed to see through Liu Mei's thoughts, and unleashed a tirade at her.

This guy, stimulated to the point of almost going mad.
