One person: Started at Wudang, got hit on the head by Lu Zu's sword.

Page 45

The NaDuTong Research Institute is full of oddballs, including FengBoMing and lizard people. NaDuTong has never charged any entry fee to the people being studied.

Xia He had many paths to choose from, but she chose a dead end and went down a dark road.

Of course, Lu Xuan didn't come here today to persuade people to do good; he just came to retaliate.

"Xia He? Weren't you one of the people who orchestrated Hu Lin's attack on me?"

Lu Xuan said softly, "I'm here to kill you."

When Xia He heard Lu Xuan say that there was corpse energy in his body, his face turned so gloomy that it could drip water.

Damn Liu Yanyan, damn Xu San and Xu Si, how dare they try to fool me with an old, dried-up corpse?

Xia He gritted her teeth in anger, almost drawing blood from her lip. She had originally thought that the corpse Liu Yanyan had given her was Zhang Xilin.

Those who practice Taoism spend their lives cultivating profound knowledge, and even their corpses can retain some Yang Qi, which would be helpful to their cultivation. That's why she sat down and absorbed Zhang Xilin's corpse.

They were told that the corpse was an old corpse created by Liu Yanyan using the secret techniques of the corpse-driving lineage, under the instigation of those two scoundrels, Xu San and Xu Si. It was of no benefit to them whatsoever.

Now, when Lu Xuan asked, "Why is there corpse energy in your body?" Xia He could no longer maintain her smile and broke down on the spot, so angry that she wanted to kill someone.

"Xiao...He?"

Liu Er looked at Xia He, whose face suddenly turned murderous and whose hair was trembling, and tentatively asked.

"Are you OK?"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Kill him!"

Once her defenses were breached, Xia He lost all trace of her former gentleness and charged directly at Lu Xuan with her inner energy.

His pioneering and fearless spirit shocked the entire Quanxing.

Was Xia He really this brave?

Could it be that... the bone scraper is actually a large steel blade?

"What are you all standing there for? Get them!"

Seeing Xia He charge forward first, Liu Er roared, and the rest of the Quanxing rushed forward.

More than twenty figures rushed forward, instantly blocking Lu Xuan's escape routes.

Then everyone leaped high into the air, unleashing a chaotic array of techniques simultaneously.

External martial arts, internal martial arts, and even external martial arts training... wait! How come there's also someone practicing Taekwondo?

Lu Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement at the variety of methods displayed before him. The Quanxing Sect's techniques were quite elaborate!

The next moment, Lu Xuan's body surged with energy.

A visible gale suddenly erupted from Lu Xuan, instantly sweeping up the Quanxing members who were rushing towards them.

Many Quanxing members felt their bodies being lifted high up uncontrollably. Before they could react, their moves were swept away by an invisible force coming from the opposite direction.

The oncoming gale was fierce, and the force of it, mixed with all sorts of chaotic techniques, slammed into his body. Fist force, qi force, and even his own moves?

More than twenty Quanxing members were completely dumbfounded. The Tai Chi force easily absorbed their techniques by receiving, neutralizing, and redirecting their energy, and then returned it all to them.

After each of the more than twenty members of the Quanxing sect was struck by one of their combined attacks, they were all swept away by the resulting gale.

Instantly, more than twenty clueless Quanxing members fell to the ground like dumplings.

Liu Er, who hadn't made a move until now, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Now's the time!"

Hearing Anger: The Six Ears' abilities are mainly in his ears, truly like the Six-Eared Macaque, able to hear the spirit of all things.

Just as Lu Xuan made his move, he heard a gap in the flow of energy around Lu Xuan's body.

He firmly believed that this was the moment when Lu Xuan would reveal his weakness.

Xia He's figure flickered back and forth, pink Qi condensing in her hand. Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Xuan's attention was diverted, she flashed behind Lu Xuan.

All the Qi was concentrated in his palm, and then a full-force Qi strike quietly imprinted itself on Lu Xuan's back.

Lust is a sharp knife that cuts to the bone. Xia He never kills people herself. She only needs to stimulate Lu Xuan's lust and turn him into her plaything.

She was confident that no man in the world could resist her abilities, not even the Celestial Master, let alone Lu Xuan, a young Taoist priest who was just starting out.

Even if Lu Xuan doesn't succumb to lust and become her plaything on the spot, he will still be affected by the eruption of lust. Today, Lu Xuan will perish here!

A cold smile had already appeared on Xia He's lips.

Then he saw his hand stop three inches away from Lu Xuan, and he was even stuck by an invisible force, unable to move.

Xia He's smile froze on her face; her strength hadn't penetrated at all.

How could that be? I clearly launched a sneak attack while Lu Xuan was dealing with the others!

How could they not even manage to get in?

Then I saw Lu Xuan quietly turn around, his gaze indifferent.

"You still want to break through my Tai Chi force?"

Lu Xuan wanted to give Xia He a thumbs up for her brilliant idea.

You really are a genius. How did you come up with the idea that you could break through my protective Tai Chi force?

Lu Xuan mainly cultivates internal alchemy and has practiced Tai Chi in Wudang for more than 20 years. He has developed the power of Tai Chi to protect himself. No one has been born yet who can forcibly break through the power of Tai Chi!

If Xia He truly possessed such abilities, she would be the current leader of the Quanxing Sect.

"Which one... Master Lu?"

Xia He blinked, her anger vanishing instantly, and she returned to her original alluring demeanor, with her eyes sparkling and her voice barely audible.

"We can actually still talk..."

Chapter 43: Tell me, what have you been protecting?

Xia He's voice returned to its delicate and charming state, as alluring as a whisper. Just the sound of her voice was so captivating, which shows just how charming Xia He was.

Faced with Xia He's allure, Lu Xuan responded very directly.

"You do not deserve!"

Lu Xuan extended his right hand, stopped on Xia He's face where she was unable to move, and then flicked his finger.

With a flick of his middle finger, carrying an invisible force, he was about to strike Xia He's brow.

Liu Er's ears twitched as he heard the sound of Lu Xuan's energy surging around him, and realized how much power was contained in Lu Xuan's seemingly ordinary finger.

He had a premonition that Xia He would definitely not be able to withstand this finger strike.

Liu Er ran wildly as if his life depended on it, and rushed in front of Lu Xuan just before Lu Xuan could make a move.

Liu Er slammed the immobilized Xia He away, and Lu Xuan's seemingly indifferent finger landed on Liu Er's shoulder—just brushing past him.

The force contained within the fingertip exploded silently, and the left side of Liu Er's body instantly collapsed into a cloud of blood mist under the force, with broken bone tissue and flesh scattering like flowers from a fairy maiden.

Driven by inertia and the aftershock of the force, Liu Er was thrown heavily into the air and crashed to the ground.

Liu Er collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood, his eyes filled with terror.

He had only been brushed past by Lu Xuan's finger flick, yet half of his body was shattered by the force. One can only imagine how terrible the consequences would have been if it had happened to Xia He.

Xia He's delicate body would probably explode into a cloud of blood mist on the spot.

Fortunately, I saved Xia He.

"You cruel devil, I will never let you hurt Xiaohe."

Liu Er, supporting his body which was now only half intact, coughed up blood as he made his declaration.

"Let me protect Xiahe."

Lu Xuan frowned.

Based on his experience, the person in front of him was a sycophant.

But... you mean protect Xia He?

Lu Xuan looked to the side with a strange expression, and Liu Er followed suit.

Xia He was lying on the ground, unable to get up. She was clearly seriously injured by the impact of Liu Er's all-out charge.

Just from the fact that Xia He couldn't get up for half a day, you could tell that she must be in a lot of pain.

Are you really doing this to save someone?

Dying at my hands won't hurt at all!

Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"What have you been protecting? You've protected nothing at all!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Er flew into a rage, supporting himself on his knees as he roared.

"In short, if you want to kill Xiao He, you'll have to step over my dead body first."

Seeing their leader still so brave even with only half a body left, the Quanxing members who had been sent flying by Lu Xuan's force but were still alive responded as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"That's right, if you want to kill our boss, you'll have to step over us first."

"Lu Xuan, if you have the guts, then kill us all."

"Do you think we're afraid of you? We, the entire Quanxing, are not afraid of death."

"If you've got the guts, kill me first."

Lu Xuan nodded: "Okay!"

He looked at the Quanxing member closest to him, who was shouting that he should kill him if he dared.

Lu Xuan nodded approvingly: "Then let's start with you?"

The Quanxing sect members closest to Lu Xuan: "?"

Why should I start first? Why can't I be last?

"Master Lu, Daoist Master Lu, could you... could you give me a chance?"

Quanxing, now wishing he could slap himself twice, stammered, "Loan shark killer, Master Lu, spare my life!"
