Chapter 505: The Xian Jie is a world of balance and order

Lu Yuan, if you don't dare to accept my challenge, then forever leave the Xiuzhen Jie! Fen Yue roared.

Lu Yuan calmed down, knowing he could not avoid this battle.

But he could not be swayed by such a person.

"I have already said, I do not wish to become enemies with you."

"Now, please leave." His voice was firm and powerful. Just as Fen Yue roared for Lu Yuan to leave the Xiuzhen Jie, a youth in white robes suddenly stepped out from the crowd.

He had a handsome and gentle visage, his brows revealing confidence and resolve; this was Bai Ting, a close friend of Fen Yue.

Bai Ting coldly stared at Fen Yue, speaking firmly: "Fen Yue, you need not provoke a dispute in this way."

"Lu Yuan is merely an outsider, he has not offended you; why treat him thus?"

Fen Yue snorted in reply: "Bai Ting, you are always too soft-hearted."

"For any challenger I show no mercy, no matter where they come from."

Bai Ting furrowed his brows, "If that is the case..."

"Then please leave this place."

"Ha ha!"

Fen Yue let out a mocking laugh: "Even you have become a flatterer of juniors."

Hearing those angry words, a flash of anger crossed Bai Ting's face.

As he clenched his fists ready to strike, Lu Yuan reached out and stopped him.

"Bai Ting senior brother, please step back first."

Lu Yuan spoke softly, as calm as a gentle breeze.

Bai Ting hesitated a moment, then retreated to the side, fixing Lu Yuan with a steady gaze.

His attitude of letting Fen Yue's departure go unchecked made Lu Yuan feel grateful and comforted.

"Fen Yue, I have already said, I do not wish to become enemies with you."

Lu Yuan gazed at Fen Yue and said coldly, "But if you insist on the challenge, then I can only accept."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Fen Yue's face filled with scorn: "What a 'can only accept'!" The battle atmosphere in the tavern reached its peak, the showdown between Fen Yue and Bai Ting drew everyone's attention.

Fen Yue's body blazed with raging flames, suddenly lunging at Bai Ting; Bai Ting's eyes were firm, he did not retreat half a step.

He unleashed his unique and powerful move with the speed of thunder before one could cover their ears.

Vast lightning coiled around his body, spinning into countless arcs that tumbled through the air.

Strands of thunderfire entwined Bai Ting, forming a lightning barrier.

Seeing this, the tavern's patrons were utterly shocked.

Although Fen Yue was formidable, facing Bai Ting's such mighty assault also gave him a headache.

Fen Yue struck out fiercely, waving both hands repeatedly, each motion carrying the power to destroy everything.

He released endless flame energy, shaping it into a searing fire sword that slashed toward Bai Ting.

This fire sword, like a fire dragon, ferociously lunged at Bai Ting.

But just as it was about to touch Bai Ting, he suddenly vanished in midair.

"Huh?" Fen Yue exclaimed in astonishment.

At the same time, in the tavern's corner, Lu Yuan extended a finger and lightly tapped.

His fingertip flashed with multicolored light, as if bathed in a starry sky.

This is his adept "Five Elements Escape Technique," able to instantaneously shift his position.

Lu Yuan hid in the shadows, employing Detection Technique to seek Fen Yue's weakness.

Fen Yue fell into a state of bewildered uncertainty.

"Where exactly is he hiding?" he muttered to himself.

Just then, Bai Ting launched another attack.

His form darted like lightning around Fen Yue, leaving a string of bright afterimages in the air.

Countless lightning bolts coiled around Bai Ting, like a huge and terrifying thundercloud enveloping Fen Yue.

Bai Ting swung his sword downward, lightning striking toward Fen Yue. Bai Ting's lightning hit Fen Yue, instantly bursting into sparks. Fen Yue was torn apart by lightning, flames erupting across his body. He cried out, his whole body trembling as he stepped back.

The tavern's patrons all held their breath, witnessing this scene. Fen Yue's previous aggressiveness appeared pale and powerless before Bai Ting.

"What else do you have?" Bai Ting sneered, "Now it's my turn."

Bai Ting flicked his finger; sword light instantly shot toward Fen Yue. He could not dodge, the sword light pierced his chest, bringing a spray of blood.

Just then, Fen Yue suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.

"He fled!" someone cried out.

Lu Yuan withdrew his Five Elements Escape Technique, reappearing before everyone's eyes.

"Don't get too excited too soon." Fen Yue's voice came, "I will return!"

"Hehe, I'd like to see how you come back." Bai Ting sneered.

Fen Yue's body burst with savage firelight, condensing into a huge fireball that smashed through the ceiling and shot straight out.

Everyone was stunned, never expecting Fen Yue to choose to flee. The warning he left behind caused anxiety.

Lu Yuan watched Fen Yue's retreating figure, a faint smile appearing on his face. He knew he had won and had successfully protected himself.

"Lost so miserably." Yun Po Kong walked up to Lu Yuan's side and said, "You are indeed a formidable Immortal Law Swordsperson."

"Thank you for the praise." Lu Yuan smiled, "But there is still a long road ahead."

Yun Po Kong's eyes flashed with admiration: "You possess such great power and wisdom; you will surely become a top existence in the Xian Jie."

"I will strive." Lu Yuan replied, "At the same time I must increase my strength to prepare for the unexpected." Bai Ting and Fen Yue engaged in a fierce battle, their powers like the clash of fire and water, utterly destroying the surrounding buildings.

Flames and lightning intertwined in the air, emitting a tremendous roar.

The magnificent and splendid architecture of Xuan Shuang Ge had become a ruin.

Just as the battle reached white-hot intensity, a powerful aura descended from the heavens.

Yuan Shi Jun slowly appeared, his noble and imposing aura made the whole scene fall silent.

"Stop!"

Yuan Shi Jun let out a low shout, the power emanating from him made Bai Ting and Fen Yue feel unable to resist.

The two divine beasts sensed Yuan Shi Jun's unfathomable power, exchanged a glance, and tacitly chose to retreat.

They understood that continuing the fight would only further touch the bottom line.

Fen Yue turned into firelight and vanished, while Bai Ting drew the lightning back into his body, returning to his originally calm, water-like state.

"You two, listen."

Yuan Shi Jun sternly gazed at Bai Ting and Fen Yue, "This matter ends here; it must not happen again."

Bai Ting and Fen Yue silently nodded, indicating they understood.

"I warn you, Bai Ting."

Yuan Shi Jun's gaze was stern, "The Xian Jie is a world of balance and order."

"As an Immortal Law Swordsperson, you cannot arbitrarily provoke disputes."

Bai Ting took a deep breath, he could feel the importance of the balance and order Yuan Shi Jun spoke of, and also understood his role in this world.

"I understand." Bai Ting replied solemnly.

Yuan Shi Jun nodded and then disappeared. (End of chapter)
