Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"This child has actually awakened the Yuanhai aura!"

"No! This aura is... the nascent form of the Yuanhai aura?"

Seeing that Lu Feng was also emanating a terrifying aura no weaker than his own, Tianmu's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes filled with astonishment.

After all, the other party was only at the half-step Yuanhai Realm, yet he was able to awaken a nascent Yuanhai aura. Such talent and comprehension can be described as a once-in-a-century genius!

"Damn it! Just who is this kid...!"

Thinking of this, Tianmu couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension. "Could this boy be a super genius from one of the top sects on the continent?"

Although he himself was a second-level Yuanhai Realm expert, far superior to Lu Feng in both cultivation level and combat experience, the latter's talent and comprehension were beyond his imagination.

Whether it's the legendary "Hurricane Spirit Soul" or the nascent Yuanhai aura, Lu Feng has far too many trump cards up his sleeve, clearly far beyond what ordinary martial artists can match, and he is likely to be someone of considerable importance.

This is one of the reasons why Tianmu was wary.

After all, even if he really killed Lu Feng, he would still have a hard time escaping the revenge and pursuit of the sect behind Lu Feng, and he would most likely not have a good ending!

"You old scoundrel Tianmu, why don't you dare to make a move?"

"So, you got so scared your legs went weak the moment you saw me?"

Seeing Tianmu suddenly freeze in place, Lu Feng also smiled coldly, a hint of mockery on his lips.

Admittedly, the opponent's Yuan Power cultivation was a whole realm higher than his, and his dantian had awakened a complete Yuan Sea Qi field, making his strength not to be underestimated.

However, with Lu Feng's current strength and cultivation, plus the help of his trump cards such as the Hurricane Spirit Soul and the Extreme Ice Shield Axe, he is not afraid of even facing a second-level Yuanhai Realm expert, let alone a fourth-level Yuanhai Realm expert!

"You sharp-tongued little punk, you've only awakened a nascent wisp of Yuanhai aura, why would I be afraid of you!"

Faced with Lu Feng's close taunt, Tianmu, who had initially been somewhat hesitant, suddenly flew into a rage, his killing intent surging. He then raised his hand and struck Lu Feng's forehead with all his might.

Clearly, faced with Lu Feng's series of provocations, Tianmu lost the last shred of reason in his mind, and now he only wanted to kill the former to vent his anger!

"You old scoundrel Tianmu, this ancient Shiva temple will be your final resting place!"

Seeing Tianmu suddenly erupt in fury, Lu Feng also smiled slightly, as if his plan had succeeded. At the same time, he flicked his hand and sent the somewhat shaken Lu Xiaoxiang out of the temple to prevent her from being affected.

"Lu Feng, watch out...!"

She fell outside the temple in an instant. Lu Xiaoxiang instinctively let out a cry of surprise, and looked anxiously at the Shiva Temple across the way, seemingly worried about Lu Feng's safety.

After all, although Lu Feng is strong, he is only at the half-step Yuanhai Realm, while Tianmu the Old Thief is a second-level Yuanhai Realm expert. The former obviously has little chance of winning this battle!

"Miss Xiaoxiang!"

"Lady Lu?"

Just as Lu Xiaoxiang was struggling to get up, intending to go into the temple to help, she suddenly heard two surprised exclamations from behind.

The next moment, two robust figures in beast-patterned robes arrived through the air. Their expressions were different, with some appearing nervous. They were none other than Wu Yunmi, who had narrowly escaped death, and Wu Yunran, who had followed Lu Feng all the way here.

However, due to his own lack of strength, Wu Yunran has always stayed in the shadows to watch the battle and has never dared to show himself.

As for Wuyunmi, the only remaining Great Lord, he was wary of Lu Feng's strength. Even though Lu Feng fought his way into the Shiva Ancient Temple, Wuyunmi never dared to stop him and could only watch from afar.

"What, it's you guys?!"

"No! Lu Feng is still inside, I have to go in and help him...!"

Upon seeing that the newcomers were Wu Yunmi and Wu Yunran, Lu Xiaoxiang was also stunned for a moment, but she didn't think much of it the next moment and rushed towards the ancient Shiva temple opposite.

"Miss Xiaoxiang! You can't go in, it's too dangerous inside!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Yunran's expression changed slightly. He immediately leaped forward and blocked the other party's path.

"Yes, Miss Lu! Immortal Master... uh, that old scoundrel Tianmu is quite powerful. Entering the temple this time, I'm afraid his chances of survival are slim!"

Wu Yunmi chimed in, and his address to Tianmu also changed drastically, no longer as respectful as before. He was clearly intimidated by Lu Feng's strength, which is why he changed his stance so quickly.

After all, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses a good lord to serve; this is only human nature!

...

Meanwhile, inside the ancient Shiva temple

Boom! Rumble...!

A sudden, resounding clang of clashing palms rang out, and the next moment, Tianmu and Lu Feng both leaped back, landing on the side of the temple. It seemed that the fight had been evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand!

"What powerful palm strike! It almost shattered the bones in my right hand...!"

"This kid is indeed extraordinary...!"

As a sharp, piercing pain emanated from his right palm, Tianmu frowned deeply, his wrinkled, aged face contorting into a grimace, appearing extremely ferocious, as if he were quite annoyed.

After all, he himself was a genuine expert at the second level of the Yuanhai Realm, but now, even with his full strength, he could not do anything to Lu Feng, a mere unknown junior at the half-step Yuanhai Realm, and even fought him to a draw!

For Tianmu, this scene was not only a slap in the face, but also a great humiliation!

"Tch! I didn't expect this old bastard to have some skills, actually managing to withstand my Eight Spirit Seals of Gara head-on..."

Shaking his slightly sore hands, Lu Feng remained solemn, showing no sign of underestimating his opponent.

After all, the Gara Eight Spirit Seals is a mid-level Xuan-grade martial art, and it is also supported by the power of the nascent Yuanhai aura. Ordinary martial artists can hardly resist it, and even a second-level Yuanhai realm expert would be severely injured!

However, Lu Feng's full-force Gara Eight Spirit Seals were blocked head-on by Tianmu, and the opponent only suffered a minor injury.

It is evident that Tianmu's cultivation level is not just a facade built on elixirs; he also possesses genuine skills.

"Damn it! I can't waste any more time here. If I fail to complete the daily 'feeding' of the Ghost Kiss Crocodile, Lord Calamity will likely punish me severely...!"

Clenching his teeth again, Tianmu seemed to recall something terrifying. He raised his hand and lightly touched the storage ring between his fingers, then took out a strangely shaped, blood-red soul flag with a large number of skulls hanging from it. At this moment, his eyes were full of killing intent.

"You ignorant brat, you've forced this old man into this situation...!"

"What is that old scoundrel up to now?"

Seeing Tianmu suddenly pull out a strangely shaped blood-red soul flag, Lu Feng also narrowed his eyes, a look of doubt on his face.

"Huh? Could this be... the Blood Soul Beast Taming Banner?"

At this moment, a surprised soft exclamation also came from inside the treasure basin, causing Lu Feng's expression to turn slightly serious. "Blood Soul Beast Taming Flag?"

"Ancient? Do you recognize this thing too? And what exactly is it? It sounds pretty cool!"

"nonsense!"

Without hesitation, Gu Canyang replied in his still cold and stern tone, "This is no ordinary magical artifact. It is the Blood Soul Beast Taming Flag, crafted by those inhuman monsters of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance in the Western Xuan Region. It can not only control all kinds of large and small demonic beasts in the world, but also devour the blood souls of all living beings and ultimately use them for its own purposes!"

"However, this old scoundrel is merely a second-level Yuanhai Realm martial artist, it's almost impossible for him to have any connection with the Western Xuan Region's Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance. Where did he get the Blood Soul Beast Taming Flag from...?"

At this point, Gu Canyang frowned slightly, clearly also curious about the origin of Tianmu.
