Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"This halberd is actually the natal weapon of the former Marquis Wen, Lü Bu...!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuanfei's mouth also opened slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Although she was only a first-level Spirit Soul Realm martial artist and had lived in the Eastern Cloud Imperial Palace for many years, she knew little about the outside world, but she was still familiar with the great name of the former Marquis Wen, Lü Bu!

Legend has it that Lü Bu was not only nine feet tall and as strong as a mountain, but also had double pupils in his eyes and was born with a noble appearance. He condensed the seed of Yuan power at the age of six, stepped into the Condensation Yuan Realm before the age of eight, broke through the Meridian Opening at the age of twelve, and was already a Lingpo Realm expert at the age of sixteen, before he had even reached adulthood!

Moreover, the other party was also a famous general of the former Yan Han Dynasty. He once led his "Yan Han Iron Cavalry" to wipe out the thirty-six tribes of the Southern Barbarians in one fell swoop, and at the same time expanded the territory by tens of thousands of miles. Therefore, he was granted the title of Marquis Wen!

However, due to the sudden collapse of the Yan Han Dynasty and some unknown reason, Marquis Wen, Lü Fengxian, was gradually forgotten by the outside world, leaving only a legendary story.

As for their descendants, they gradually declined and never recovered, and were no longer known to the public!

"Brother, if what you say is true, this woman not only wields the War God's Golden Halberd, but also bears the surname Lü..."

Upon realizing this, Consort Ren Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Could she be a descendant of Lü Bu, the Marquis of Wen, from the former Yan Han Dynasty...!"

"good."

Nodding in agreement, Ren Lingyun continued, "Miss Lü is not only the current senior disciple of the Yunfu Sect, but also a descendant of the former Marquis Wen, with the Lü family blood flowing through her veins..."

"However, the Lü family today is far from what it used to be. Not only are there few members and a lack of talent, but its overall foundation is also inferior to some eighth-rank families. Compared to its former glory, it is now worlds apart..."

Ren Lingyun's face showed a hint of melancholy, clearly indicating that he also knew a great deal about the former Lü family.

"Your Majesty, but there's still something I don't understand. Wasn't the Lü family a renowned military family in the former Yan Han Dynasty? And with a genius like Marquis Wen, Lü Bu, why did they end up like this...?"

Hearing this, Ren Xuanfei couldn't help but chime in.

"Human strength is great, but it is difficult to overcome nature."

Faced with Ren Xuanfei's puzzlement, Ren Lingyun simply shook his head slightly, and then said in a meaningful tone, "Since the death of the former Marquis Wen, Lü Fengxian, the entire Lü family has gradually declined and has never recovered. As for the young geniuses that the Lü family can be proud of now, there is only Lü Xian'er."

"Died suddenly from an illness?"

Upon hearing Ren Lingyun's answer, Ren Xuanfei's mouth gaped open in disbelief. "Brother, legend has it that the Marquis Wen, Lü Feng, was once a Xuan Gang Realm expert. Such a formidable figure, how could he have died suddenly from an illness? This... this can't be...!"

"Fei'er, nothing in this world is impossible."

Ren Lingyun's face remained calm as he slowly said, "Although the former Marquis Wen, Lü Bu, was powerful, he was ultimately just a mortal. If he were to contract some strange or serious illness, he would still find it difficult to survive..."

"Moreover, even the once powerful Yan Han Dynasty and the Feng clan, which ruled Cangyun Realm for over a thousand years, were ultimately destroyed overnight, let alone a mere Marquis Wen, Lü Bu..."

"Who would have thought that the once-renowned Marquis Wen, Lü Bu, would end up like this...!"

Upon hearing this, Consort Ren also sighed, seemingly feeling a pang of regret over the death of Marquis Wen, Lü Bu.

After all, it was somewhat ironic that the other party, a renowned Xuan Gang Realm expert who had killed countless enemies, did not die on the battlefield but instead died on his sickbed.

Just as the Ren siblings were discussing Lü Xian'er's background, the battlefield not far away gradually descended into a tense standoff.

"Damn it! This guy's like a catfish, all he does is dart around everywhere...!"

Another thrust of the halberd missed its mark, and a bead of sweat appeared on Lü Xian'er's forehead, her face showing signs of impatience.

Although she had been dominating Lu Feng the whole time and had the upper hand, the latter did not suffer any injuries and seemed to be in a relatively relaxed manner, as if he had not used his full strength.

Therefore, Lü Xian'er is inevitably a little impatient right now, eager to finish the battle quickly.

After all, the War God's Golden Halberd in her hand was a top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon. Although it was incredibly powerful, it also consumed a great deal of Yuan energy. If the battle continued like this, it would be clearly disadvantageous for Lü Xian'er!

"That was close! As expected of a top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, its power is truly extraordinary..."

Lu Feng, also landing gracefully to the side, looked again at Lü Xian'er, who wielded the War God's Golden Halberd. His eyes narrowed slightly. "I wonder if this little Lü girl has any other tricks up her sleeve..."

Although the opponent was only at the half-step Yuanhai realm, almost a whole realm behind him, and had not yet awakened the Yuanhai aura, Lü Xian'er, who wielded the top-grade Xuan-level magic weapon "War God's Golden Halberd," was still a force to be reckoned with!

If it hadn't been Lu Feng, but an ordinary martial artist of the same generation, they would probably have been pierced into a human-shaped sieve by Lü Xian'er's halberd!

As for why Lu Feng dodged the entire time without fighting back, the reason is very simple: he was conserving his energy!

After all, he came to participate in the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament with the goal of winning the championship. The single-elimination tournament has no rest time and is a series of rounds of battles with increasingly stronger opponents.

Therefore, Lu Feng didn't want to expend too much Yuan Power in his current battle against Lü Xian'er, lest he run into Gongsun Jian and be caught off guard by Gongsun Jian's excessive Yuan Power consumption.

If this drags on, and Lu Xian'er becomes exhausted and reveals a weakness, Lu Feng can easily win!

"Lu Feng, why aren't you making a move?!"

"Could it be that you, a dignified man, are now only capable of hiding like a coward, too afraid to fight me head-on?"

Seeing that Lu Feng was still dodging the whole time and had no desire to attack, Lü Xian'er felt a little frustrated. She immediately used her provocation tactic again and swung her War God Golden Halberd again, thrusting it towards the former's head.

"The Eight Spirit Seals of Gara!"

Faced with Lü Xian'er's powerful attack, Lu Feng did not retreat and dodge as usual this time. Instead, he raised his hand and unleashed several golden Yuan Power palms, which barely managed to repel the battle-ready Lü Xian'er.

"Miss Lü, it's not that I won't help, it's just that I might strike too hard, and you might not be able to withstand it..."

With a single palm strike that sent Lü Xian'er flying, Lu Feng landed steadily once more, then grinned with a playful smile, as if the battle was entirely under his control.

As for the reason why he suddenly retaliated, it was very simple. Not only was Lu Xian'er's mind in turmoil, but her Yuan energy was also gradually weakening. Even her attacks were no longer as fierce as before, as if she had consumed a lot of Yuan energy!

As the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane after a second attempt and eventually be exhausted after a third.

Now that Lü Xian'er has been unable to break through for a long time and is in a slump, this is the moment that Lu Feng has been waiting for!
