Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Really? That's not necessarily true."

Faced with Xu Tianlong's threat, Lu Feng merely smiled coldly, "You're just a defeated opponent. Who gave you the courage to come looking for trouble with your grandfather? Are you tired of living?"

"You sharp-tongued little beast! You're asking for it!"

Seeing that Lu Feng not only didn't take him seriously at all, but also spoke arrogantly, Xu Tianlong was furious and attacked. At the same time, he slashed out with a sharp bone knife in mid-air, mixed with rolling thunder power, aiming directly at the former's crown chakra!

Whoosh! Rumble...!

In an instant, the blade pierced the air, and lightning bolts swept across the sky, as if a heavenly tribulation had descended upon the world, sending chills down one's spine.

"The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder Blade?"

"It's that trick again..."

Seeing the lightning serpent blade hurtling towards him, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, then his dantian energy surged forth, transforming into an indestructible energy barrier. "Unfortunately, the same trick won't work on me..."

Snap! Sizzle...!

Before he could finish speaking, the lightning blade instantly shattered Lu Feng's Yuan Power barrier, and then, as if entering an empty field, it pierced through his right shoulder, splattering blood everywhere. The wound was horrific!

"Such powerful destructive force, and it's also mixed with an even more violent lightning energy...!"

"The power of this single strike is so great that even the tenth level of perfection of the Gara Nirvana Sutra cannot withstand it?!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Feng made a rapid retreat, landing behind the dense forest while looking down at his right shoulder, his brows suddenly furrowing.

Sizzle sizzle...!

His entire right shoulder was covered in blood, with bone exposed. The knife wound was so deep that it was difficult to stop the bleeding for a while. At the same time, a tingling, electric shock-like numbness could be felt from the wound, indicating that the injury was serious!

"Could it be that this bastard's strength has increased again?"

"How is this possible in less than a week...!"

Feeling the tearing pain in his right shoulder, Lu Feng's expression grew increasingly serious as he looked again at Xu Tianlong, who was standing not far away with great momentum.

He had fought against Xu Tianlong in the past and knew his strength and abilities very well!

Although Xu Tianlong was strong, he was at most comparable to a half-step Yuanhai Realm cultivator, and could not threaten Lu Feng's life.

However, in less than a week, Xu Tianlong's strength has increased dramatically again, and even the power of the Heavenly Thunder Nine Tribulations Blade has risen steadily, making it incomparable to what it was before!

Just now, if Lu Feng hadn't been agile enough to avoid a fatal blow, Xu Tianlong's single strike would have been enough to kill him on the spot!

"Hahahaha! You surnamed Lu, today is your death day!"

After severely injuring Lu Feng with a single strike, Xu Tianlong laughed loudly again. The next moment, he released the Yuan Power in his dantian without reservation, as if the anger he had suppressed for a long time could finally be released!

boom!

As a large amount of Yuan Power surged outwards, Xu Tianlong's Yuan Power aura also rapidly increased. In just a few breaths, he broke through the Spirit Soul Realm barrier and then broke through the first level of the Yuan Sea Realm. His entire figure grew more than several feet taller!

He originally had some regrets, as he was unable to personally kill Lu Feng to avenge his sworn brother Cheng Xuyuan who had died. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he naturally would not let it go!

This is also why Zhang Dabiao and the others initially framed Lu Feng and forced him out of Falling Star Valley, but ultimately did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him.

Because, in Xu Tianlong's view, Lu Feng's head must be taken by him personally!

"First level of the Yuanhai Realm!"

"And this aura is... a life-defying elixir?"

Similarly, Lu Feng used his external Yuan Power to sense Xu Tianlong and detected a familiar, violent, and chilling aura emanating from him. His brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep frown. "Could it be that this bastard Xu Tianlong is also a member of the Wusheng Sect?"

"The mysterious elixir of immortality, and the tragic deaths of Chang Yuchun and others... So that's how it is!"

Seemingly remembering something, Lu Feng suddenly realized something and looked at Xu Tianlong, who was radiating murderous intent, again. "Xu Tianlong, I thought you were just after my revenge, but I never imagined you would be so utterly depraved. Not only did you secretly collude with the Wusheng Demonic Sect, but you even went so far as to harm your own fellow disciples...!"

"I'm telling you, you've done so many heinous things that everyone hates, aren't you afraid that in the end, when everything is exposed, you'll die and your soul will be destroyed...?"

Lu Feng's lips curled up slightly, his tone playful.

He was all too familiar with the strange, violent, and chilling aura emanating from Xu Tianlong. This strange aura originated from the Wusheng Sect's unique secret medicine, the "Life-Defying Elixir," which was almost impossible for ordinary martial artists to master!

It was precisely because of this that Xu Tianlong's strength and cultivation level increased rapidly within just one week, even breaking through to the Yuanhai Realm level!

As for Chang Yuchun, Zuo Bayang, Ke Bineng, and others who were ambushed and killed back then, they are most likely also related to Xu Tianlong in front of them!

However, compared to the traitor Xu Tianlong, Lu Feng is more worried about the situation on the other side of Falling Star Valley.

After all, Xu Tianlong was just a small fry. Even the life-defying elixir in the other party's possession came from the Wusheng Sect. Zhang Dabiao and the others who framed him were the real big fish!

"Hmph, so what?"

Facing Lu Feng's mockery, Xu Tianlong didn't get angry but laughed instead. He merely twisted his neck muscles, then his eyes flashed with even more ferocity. "As long as I can kill you, as long as I can become stronger, whether it's joining the Wusheng Sect or betraying Luoxing Academy, I don't care!"

"As for the so-called dichotomy between good and evil, and aiding and abetting the wicked, what does that have to do with me? Hahahaha!"

Xu Tianlong's face was contorted with rage, and his tone was maniacal, as if he had already secured victory in this battle!

"Looks like this bastard's gone crazy on drugs too..."

Seeing this, Lu Feng also raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head repeatedly, "No wonder that guy surnamed Zhang framed me as a traitor in front of everyone, but didn't send anyone to hunt me down. It turns out he had arranged this all along..."

"Unfortunately, many people wanted to kill me, but without exception, they all met a gruesome end..."

Lu Feng was not surprised by Xu Tianlong's overconfidence and madness; on the contrary, he found it somewhat laughable.

Because, although the Reversal Elixir can temporarily make a martial artist stronger, once an excessive amount is consumed, it can easily cause them to lose their rationality, and they may even eventually become mindless zombies who only know how to kill, just like the group of heartless drug slaves that Lu Feng had encountered in the past.

However, Xu Tianlong seemed unaware of the drawbacks of the life-defying elixir, and he was even more unaware that he had always been just a pawn of Zhang Dabiao and his group, and would be ruthlessly discarded once he was no longer of any use!

...

Meanwhile, deep within Falling Star Valley, outside the Sealing Star Platform

"Fellow disciples, everything is now ready, and the traitor has been eliminated. We can now focus on repairing the Penglai Star Sealing Array!"

After forcing Lu Feng away, Zhang Dabiao turned around, cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, and his smile returned to his face.

"All right!"

"In that case, let's attack together!"

"As for that traitor Lu Feng, we don't have time to deal with him right now. Once everything is over and we return to the courtyard, the elders will take care of him. He can't possibly cause any trouble then..."

Faced with Zhang Dabiao's suggestion, the disciples of Falling Star Academy exchanged glances and then began to discuss among themselves, but most of them had no objections.

"Wait!"

Just as everyone was about to join forces to reinforce the seal of the Penglai Star-Sealing Array, Cao Keying suddenly stepped forward, coldly glancing at Zhang Dabiao, the leader, and said in a chilling tone, "Before we act, I have one objection!"
