Chapter 370: Can't Take a Hit—You Aren't Scared, Are You?

"Idiot, you think you can exchange lives with me? You're not even worthy."

Liuyan let out a cold laugh, his mental force rippled outward, striking the tail of the speeding spear.

The spear instantly changed direction and flew off to one side.

Wen Yuanwei watched, feeling both urgent and angry.

Just as Liuyan's fan bone was about to pierce Wen Yuanwei's chest, Ranqingmo moved.

She turned her right hand over, and a pale‑blue longsword appeared in it.

A faint, chilling sword Qi swirled around the blade, like a shimmering blue light in the dark night.

Clang—

Ranqingmo swung casually, and a visibly solid sword flash shot out.

Clang!

With that light sound, the fan bone just an inch from Wen Yuanwei fell to the ground.

"Liuyan, that's enough."

Ranqingmo's cold voice drew everyone's attention.

All eyes gathered on her.

"The Liu family sent you to challenge, not to recklessly wound lives."

Ranqingmo's serene eyes turned toward Dong Ningxue beside her.

"Ningxue, give me a tour of this place."

"Alright."

Seeing that Wen Yuanwei was fine, Dong Ningxue let out a sigh of relief, turned, and left the area with Ranqingmo.

"Thank you, miss!"

Wen Yuanwei exhaled, his hair already damp with sweat.

He really thought he was about to die just now.

Liuyan controlled the fan bone to fly back.

A deep dent appeared on the fan bone that Ranqingmo had knocked away, causing Liuyan a sharp pain.

But recalling that Ranqingmo herself had left the mark, Liuyan's gloomy mood vanished.

He gently stroked the dent, deciding to forgo repair and keep the mark forever.

After reassembling the folding fan, Liuyan looked at the dazed Wen Yuanwei and laughed, "Ha, you're honored to be the first opponent I defeat here. Next I'll challenge every General Star in the military district, forging my own invincible momentum!"

Wen Yuanwei's mouth slightly opened, about to retort, but he couldn't speak.

The opponent's strength was indeed far greater than his.

"Let's go, to find Ranqingmo."

Liuyan glanced at Gongyuande beside him, twirled the fan, and walked forward with a carefree stride.

Gongyuande shook his head; Liuyan's arrogance surprised him.

He only wanted to defeat Lu Jing to showcase his own strength and talent, but Liuyan actually aimed to challenge every General Star in the military district.

"Looks like the waiting time ahead won't be too boring..."

Three days later.

"Undefeatable, too weak—this is the Third Sub‑Military District's General Star just below Lu Jing?"

Liuyan's Martial Lord Realm aura radiated outward, and his whole body hovered in the air.

At this moment he was inside a training arena.

At Liuyan's feet, a trench that looked as if a bulldozer had carved it stretched to the arena's far end.

At the far end, a figure lay on his back, one hand covering his chest, blood constantly spilling from his mouth.

He tried several times to struggle to his feet, but each attempt ended in failure.

Liuyan saw his opponent lose the ability to fight, turned, and leisurely walked away.

A group of surrounding officers watching cleared the path, their gazes shocked and angry.

"That Liu family brat is too arrogant!"

"Yeah, I want to smash his face; he doesn't even consider us!"

"I heard he came for General Star Lu Jing..."

"The second General Star Wang Guoan of the Third Sub‑Military District was defeated by him; the next target is Lu Jing."

The crowd's expressions softened; Liuyan was arrogant, but he indeed had the capital to back it up.

Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao watched from afar as Liuyan strolled toward them.

"Sister Ning, this Liuyan is really low, openly chasing Ranqingmo and still trying to harass you."

Zhu Xingyao pursed her lips.

"Xingyao, Lu Jing has been in Yuanxi for several days, why hasn't he emerged?"

Dong Ningxue frowned, feeling a bit uneasy inside.

"Yeah, I'm also puzzled; the kid went in and never came out."

Zhu Xingyao comforted, "But don't worry too much; the exploration team that went in with Lu Jing all came out successfully, bringing back a large haul of Energy Stones."

"That shows the Yuanxi isn't very dangerous; with Lu Jing's strength, self‑preservation should be no problem."

While the two women talked, Liuyan already approached with a smile.

Liuyan's eyes sparkled; to him, Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao were completely different styles of beauties.

If Zhu Xingyao were the warm spring sun that melts hearts and sparks protective instincts, then Dong Ningxue would be a luminous jade, appearing icy cold yet harboring a soft, warming heart.

So Dong Ningxue is a piece of luminous mutton-fat jade; she looks icy-clear, but in reality her heart is soft and warm.

Chasing Ranqingmo is difficult, but chasing two girls from the military districts is still a piece of cake?

Two beautiful ladies, I'm Ranqingmo's friend, Liuyan—let's get acquainted?

After saying that, Liuyan extended his right hand in a gentlemanly manner.

Hello.

Zhu Xingyao's smile vanished, she casually said hello, while Dong Ningxue didn't even glance at him.

Liuyan's hand hanging in the air felt a bit awkward.

He helplessly withdrew his right hand and muttered to himself: "The General Star of the Third Sub-Military Region really is weak— the Wang Guo'an I just defeated actually managed to rank second on the General Star Ranking List......

His combat power is fine, but his technique is truly clumsy, utterly incomparable to the talents of noble clans.

Don't look at Wang Guo'an ranking second in the Third Sub-Military Region; if you look at the whole army, he's just the bottom-ranked General Star.

Zhu Xingyao, standing aside, corrected Liuyan's statement: "The gap between General Stars is huge—for example, Lu Jing......

Before Zhu Xingyao could finish, Liuyan interrupted:

Oh? Isn't it the same? Lu Jing is just one rank above Wang Guo'an—how much stronger could his strength be?

Liuyan smiled, unfazed.

Fine, think what you want—just don't end up crying later.

Zhu Xingyao shrugged helplessly.

After saying that, the two women turned and left.

Liuyan, meanwhile, clung to them like a stubborn plaster.

Oh, right," Liuyan suddenly thought of something, "When is that Lu Jing coming back? It's already been three days.

Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao ignored him, heading straight back to the military camp.

Ranqingmo and Gongyuande were also here.

Qingmo, that kid has been in the Yuanxi for four days—maybe he died in there?

Liuyan spoke to Ranqingmo.

What nonsense are you spouting? Even if you died, Lu Jing wouldn't die!

Zhu Xingyao spat, "If you're impatient waiting, you can just go in and look for him."

After saying that, Zhu Xingyao's expression changed as she teased: "This is the Yuanxi, you wouldn't be too scared to go in, would you?"

Liuyan's smile froze; shortly after learning that Lu Jing had entered the Yuanxi, he deliberately asked the elders in his family who served in the military ministry.

They sternly warned him that he must never enter the Yuanxi, describing it as dangerous as a demon's den.
