Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"After more than a year, this girl has not only become much stronger, but even her face and figure have become more stunning..."

Looking at Lu Xiaoxiang standing opposite the pavilion with her sword drawn, Lu Feng, who was watching from the crowd, also sighed inwardly and showed a look of satisfaction.

Since the other party left without saying goodbye, he has lost all news of Lu Xiaoxiang.

Lu Feng originally thought he would never see Lu Xiaoxiang again, but he never expected to meet her again today at Baixiaoge in Jinling City of Xuan Song Kingdom. It can be said that fate has brought them together!

"As for this person's Yuan Qi aura, although it is quite remarkable, having already reached the Xuan Gang Realm level, it is far weaker than Zhang Shunfei in the past, suggesting that he has only recently broken through to the first level of the Xuan Gang Realm...?"

His gaze shifted again, and Lu Feng looked at the blue-robed youth who had clashed with Lu Xiaoxiang. He then stroked his chin, his expression thoughtful.

Although he is currently only at the eighth level of the Yuanhai Realm and has not yet reached the Xuan Gang Realm, nor has he awakened his innate Qi, his strength is not considered particularly top-tier in the entire Jinling City.

However, with the help of the Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique, the Soul Devouring Technique, and the Earth Tiger Star's various killing moves, Lu Feng could easily deal with a mere first-level Xuan Gang Realm martial artist!

"Perfect timing, I'll use you, you piece of trash, as a sacrifice to the heavens...!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng also twisted his neck and bones, then grinned and revealed a ruthless sneer.

After all, although Lu Xiaoxiang was not his wife in name, she was still his classmate and old friend, and their relationship was more like that of close confidantes than just ordinary friends.

Therefore, seeing the young man in blue robes harassing and molesting Lu Xiaoxiang in public, Lu Feng naturally felt murderous intent and could not tolerate it at all!

"Please calm down, both of you! Do not resort to violence!"

Just as Lu Feng was about to step in to help, a hurried exclamation came from a corner of the crowd nearby.

Swish!

The next moment, Lin Ming arrived in the center of the pavilion in a panic. He then bowed to Lu Xiaoxiang and the blue-robed youth, who were at each other's throats, and said, "I am Lin Ming, a steward of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion. I urge you two young heroes to stop fighting and not ruin our harmony..."

"Brother Deng, Miss Lu, would you be so kind as to do me a favor for the sake of Baixiaoge?"

After speaking, Lin Ming looked at Deng Shizai and Lu Xiaoxiang with a nervous expression.

Although the fight between the two was unrelated to him, he was, after all, a steward of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, and was currently on the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion's territory. If Lu Xiaoxiang and Deng Shizai were to fight in public like this, it would undoubtedly damage the reputation of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion.

"This...is it because I don't need to do anything?"

Seeing Lin Ming suddenly appear as a peacemaker, Lu Feng, who was originally planning to show himself, stopped again, a playful look on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this matter has nothing to do with you today, please step aside."

Faced with Lin Ming's attempt to mediate, Lu Xiaoxiang merely glanced at him indifferently, her tone remaining assertive, "This scoundrel not only repeatedly uttered lewd words to me, but also touched my sword with his filthy hands...!"

"I swear I won't rest until I've chopped off and torn those filthy hands to pieces!!"

Lu Xiaoxiang roared again, and immediately swung her sharp spirit sword forward once more, instantly unleashing several powerful emerald green sword energies, which then enveloped and attacked Deng Shizai opposite the pavilion!

bass!bass!bass!

In an instant, a verdant sword aura pierced the air, but Deng Shizai merely curled his lips into a slight smile, his mockery only intensifying. At the same time, he raised his hand and clenched it from a distance, saying, "A mere trifle!"

Boom!

As Deng Shizai clenched his right hand tightly, an extremely powerful innate qi surged out, just like an emperor reigning over the world. In just one breath, it shattered the emerald green sword qi that was attacking from the opposite side, turning it into nothingness!

After all, the power of innate qi is unmatched by ordinary martial artists!

Moreover, even after more than a year of hard training and great improvement in personal strength, Lu Xiaoxiang has only just stepped into the first level of the Yuanhai Realm and has initially awakened the Yuanhai Aura. She is no match for Deng Shizai at all!

"Steward Lin, it's not that I don't want to give face to your Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, it's just that this Miss Lu seems to be deaf to reason, and she even seems quite hostile towards me..."

With one hand, Deng Shizai easily deflected Lu Xiaoxiang's furious attack. He then turned his gaze to Lin Ming, the steward of Baixiaoge who was trying to mediate the fight. Lin Ming's face remained calm and composed, clearly not taking the former seriously.

After all, with his cultivation level of the first level of the Profound Gang Realm, dealing with Lu Xiaoxiang, who had just broken through to the Yuanhai Realm, was a piece of cake, and the latter had no power to resist at all!

However, as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, one of the oldest cultivation sects in the Zhongxuan Domain, Deng Shizai has always been arrogant and self-important, and he is not interested in getting serious with a woman like Lu Xiaoxiang.

As for the brief exchange between the two earlier, it was merely Deng Shizai deliberately teasing Lu Xiaoxiang. He didn't even use 30% of his strength; otherwise, Lu Xiaoxiang would probably have already perished!

"This power is... innate qi!"

Seeing Deng Shizai easily deflect her full-force sword strike, Lu Xiaoxiang frowned slightly, as if facing a formidable enemy. "Damn it! This lecherous fellow is actually a Xuan Gang Realm expert...!"

At this moment, she finally realized the huge gap in strength between herself and Deng Shizai!

In addition, Deng Shizai had not used his full strength before, otherwise Lu Xiaoxiang, with her mere cultivation at the first level of the Yuanhai Realm, would not have had a single chance to fight back!

"With my current level of Yuan Qi cultivation, I'm simply no match for this person...!"

"Damn it! What should I do...? What am I supposed to do...? The Lu family of Nan Yue Kingdom has not yet been revitalized, and Father's illness has not been fully cured. Is my fate to end here...?!"

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but bite her lips tightly, her pretty face turning pale, as if she felt both desperate and unwilling at this moment.

Because she had worked so hard to get to this point, she didn't want to die so easily.

Besides, Lu Xiaoxiang has another unfulfilled wish deep in her heart: to see someone again, someone she has liked for many years but has never dared to reveal her feelings to.

"Lu Feng, I'm sorry! It seems I have to go first...!"

Suddenly, a familiar figure in a gray robe and the other person's ever-smiling face flashed through Lu Xiaoxiang's mind, and a wave of pain surged in her heart. The next moment, she gripped her sword tightly again, as if she were ready to fight to the death.

"Look! It looks like a fight is going on on the third floor!"

"No way? This is the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion! Which brat is so bold as to cause trouble here?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, kid! Do you have a death wish?! Do you even know who this Deng Shizai is?"

"This person is no ordinary martial artist, but a disciple of the renowned Qingyun Sect, one of the oldest and most prestigious cultivation sects in the Central Profound Domain. He's someone most people can't afford to offend...!"

Seeing that Lin Ming's attempt to mediate had failed, the two sides were once again on the verge of exchanging blows. The onlookers were also discussing the matter, and some of the martial artists looked wary, clearly recognizing that Deng Shizai was no ordinary person.
