Chapter 525

At this moment, Hong Lietian stepped out of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over Lu Yuan with contempt.

What does a true man have to worry about not having a wife?

Since you're nothing but mediocre sects, what gives you the right to think highly of yourselves?

Everyone's faces showed anger, but Lu Yuan gestured with his hand to silence them.

Facing Hong Lietian's provocation, his gaze remained steadfast.

What virtue or ability does the Youhun Sect have to interfere in the affairs of my Ziyun Clan?

If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one.

Hong Lietian let out a cold laugh: "Lu Yuan, do you think your little tricks can threaten me?"

You haven't even stepped onto the threshold of the Dao Ancestor.

Facing Hong Lietian's contempt, Lu Yuan felt a pressure well up in his heart.

But he immediately adjusted his emotions, staying calm and confident.

It seems you already knew my strength.

Lu Yuan said lightly, "If so, let us have a formal contest."

Zi Cui Ling stepped forward and stood beside Lu Yuan.

She looked at Hong Lietian, her voice hinting at resolve: "The Youhun Sect is immensely powerful, but our Ziyun Clan will not retreat."

"We will defend our family and heritage in our own way." Lu Yuan's eyes firm, he swept his gaze over the thirty Youhun Sect warriors before him, gave a slight smile, and his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword radiated a dazzling light.

He took a deep breath, employed the Five Elements Escape Technique, and found a flaw in the surrounding environment.

The Ziyun Clan members watched Lu Yuan's moves anxiously, unable to join the battle, they could only hope he would easily dispatch the foes before him.

They wished to help Lu Yuan, but circumstances forced them to wait.

The Youhun Sect warriors watched Lu Yuan's smiling face, their emotions mixed with a hint of disdain.

Do you think you alone can oppose our Youhun Sect?

"Dream on!" They then all lunged at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan displayed extraordinary agility and exquisite immortal technique.

He skillfully deployed the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to encircle the enemies and easily defeated several Youhun Sect warriors.

Seeing this, the Ziyun Clan members' anxiety gradually turned into anticipation.

They witnessed Lu Yuan's bravery and strength, and their confidence in him kept growing.

Lu Yuan remained composed amidst the perilous battlefield.

He sometimes dodged enemy attacks, sometimes unleashed powerful strikes, hardly pausing at all.

His agile form weaved between the foes, leaving each Youhun Sect warrior unable to grasp him.

At the same time, the Ziyun Clan members could no longer stand by idly.

Although they could not join the fight, they wished to communicate with the Youhun Sect warriors to find a way to resolve the matter.

Zi Cui Ling stepped forward, looked at a Youhun Sect warrior, and said: "Please tell Sect Leader Hong Lietian that we are willing to engage in a fair and equal dialogue with him."

"Cannot we resolve this peacefully?"

That Youhun Sect warrior, upon hearing Zi Cui Ling's words, let out a scoff: "Do you think we'll listen to your clan's nonsense?"

"It seems you will never leave here alive."

Zi Cui Ling was enraged by this contemptuous attitude.

At the same time, Lu Yuan seized the moment when the enemies were distracted, launching a fierce attack while they were unprepared.

He brandished his thunderfire sword, each strike delivering devastating power.

As expected, Lu Yuan successfully defeated a Youhun Sect warrior and immediately pressed the assault.

He flickered across the battlefield like a gleam of spirit, making his trace hard to catch.

The Youhun Sect warriors, feeling Lu Yuan's powerful attack, were astonished, yet grew ever more resentful and wary.

They realized Lu Yuan was not an easy opponent.

Lu Yuan employed his skilled techniques to protect himself and displayed formidable, superior personal strength.

At the same time, the Ziyun Clan members' anxiety and unease intensified; they wished to help Lu Yuan but were powerless. Upon hearing the news that Lu Yuan was besieged, Mo Di felt a strong curiosity well up inside him.

As a Dragon Clan prince, he is an exalted being throughout Xian Jie, yet he had never seen or heard of such an opponent.

Lu Yuan's displayed strength and wisdom aroused Mo Di's strong interest.

Mo Di decided to go himself to God Net City to investigate.

His form was like lightning, swiftly moving through the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.

From time to time dragon roars sounded, shaking the earth and moving mountains.

Along the way, Mo Di felt himself drawing ever closer to the battlefield.

He faintly heard the clash of blades and the burst of flames.

When Mo Di reached the battlefield, the sight before him made him involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

Lu Yuan weaved like a spirit serpent among the enemies, his thunderfire sword intertwining into a lightning-like arc that traced a thunder‑swift path across the darkness.

The Youhun Sect warriors were unexpectedly defeated one after another, staggering within the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.

Their faces were filled with shock and anger, hardly believing what lay before them.

Mo Di was attracted by Lu Yuan's displayed strength and mysterious aura.

He chose not to intervene in the battle, merely observing silently.

Each of Lu Yuan's attacks was precisely exact, every move revealing his extraordinary talent and judgment.

This made Mo Di anticipate Lu Yuan ever more. Lu Yuan gripped his thunderfire sword tightly, his gaze fixed firmly on Hong Lietian.

He feared not the enemy's threats, his heart filled with righteousness and resolve.

Hong Lietian gave a cold snort, his eyes fierce as he swept over the members of the Ziyun Clan.

He knew this was their only weak point; as long as he threatened the clan's safety, Lu Yuan would surely yield.

"Lu Yuan, it all depends on whether you're willing to hand over the victory!" Hong Lietian said with a wicked smile.

Lu Yuan calmly glanced at the two Ziyun Clan members controlled by Hong Lietian.

He knew that letting the opponent succeed would not only cost him his reputation but also plunge the entire clan into trouble.

"Hong Lietian, since you're so arrogant, let me tell you a fact."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "I already used the Detection Technique to learn that you were controlling two clan members as hostages."

Those words left Hong Lietian slightly stunned; he hadn't expected Lu Yuan to be able to see through his plot.

"Too bad, do you really think I have no backup?"

Hong Lietian gave a cold snort, showing a confident expression: "Lu Yuan, even if you know my plan, what can you do?"

"I can rescue the clan members."

Lu Yuan's expression firm, he replied calmly.

Hong Lietian, furious from embarrassment, roared at him: "Don't think you can strut your stuff in front of me!"

"Hand over the victory, or I'll make you regret it beyond measure!"

Lu Yuan gave a cold snort, the aura on his body gradually coalescing. (End of chapter)
