Chapter 28: Descendants of the Duan Family?
The assassin was, after all, a martial artist at the Meridian Opening Realm, and instinctively shifted his body to the side the instant Lu Yuan flicked his finger.
But it was a moment too late.
The head dodged it.
The ear didn't escape.
The immense force pierced through his ear.
"what!"
The assassin screamed, covered his ears, and staggered backward.
Blood gushed from between his fingers.
It trickled down her neck and into her collar.
He looked up at Lu Yuan.
The initial disdain in his eyes was replaced by astonishment...
There was even a hint of apprehension.
"What are you doing? Turning internal energy into qi..."
He gritted his teeth and said.
"Impossible! You haven't even reached the Meridian Opening Realm, how could you possibly transform internal energy into qi!"
"You don't even have internal energy right now!"
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This trick works.
Moreover, judging from the assassin's reaction, he had clearly intimidated the other party!
Since that's the case, let's add fuel to the fire.
Let's see if we can scare him away!
Lu Yuan still wore that arrogant smile on his face.
He said casually, "You think you, a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator like yourself, can kill me?"
The man's pupils contracted instantly.
Lu Yuan learned of Qin Zhao's words, "merely a cultivator at the Meridian Opening Realm."
But the other party was unaware of this.
These words took on a different meaning in the assassin's ears...
The opponent, a mere Body Tempering Realm martial artist, not only saw through his cultivation level...
They completely disregarded the Meridian Opening Realm.
This is not normal...
Where does he get such confidence?
Just as the assassin hesitated,
The sound of rustling footsteps echoed through the woods.
Another voice rang out from deep within the shadows of the trees.
His voice carried a hint of impatience.
"This is damn troublesome. That guard of yours is really hard to distract."
It took me ages to shake him off, running through most of the forest.
A second figure emerged.
This man was significantly stronger than the wounded assassin.
His face was gloomy, and his gaze swept over Lu Yuan before landing on his companion who was covering his ears.
"What happened?"
"There's something strange about this kid."
The assassin, covering his ears, hissed.
"He can transform internal energy into qi. I just... accidentally fell for his trick."
The burly assassin frowned and turned to look at Lu Yuan.
His gaze was colder than his companion's, and he uttered no unnecessary words.
"So what if you can transform internal energy into qi? You're still just a Body Tempering Realm cultivator."
"No matter what he can do... he must die here today!"
The two exchanged a glance.
The two figures moved simultaneously in the next instant.
They blocked all of Lu Yuan's escape routes from the left and right.
Its speed far exceeds that of the Body Tempering Realm.
Lu Yuan's Green Wind Step was intercepted just as he began.
"Heh, kid. You think you can run away?"
Lu Yuan's speed at the Body Tempering Realm was simply no match for that of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Just then, a gray shadow appeared in front of Lu Yuan without warning.
The person who came was none other than Old Huang.
He arrived without a sound.
The speed was unbelievable, as if he had never left.
The two assassins braked simultaneously, but it was too late to stop their attacks.
The internal energy condensed into a burst of energy is released.
It even stirred up the fallen leaves beneath their feet.
Old Huang slowly raised both palms.
His inner strength instantly condensed in his palm.
Two powerful bursts of energy surged forth simultaneously like raging waves.
It was precisely printed on the chests of the two people.
"Bang...bang!"
Two muffled thuds were heard!
The two assassins at the Meridian Opening Realm were simultaneously knocked away, like two fallen leaves swept up by a gale.
One of them crashed into a tree trunk and spat out blood.
The other one rolled several times on the ground before crashing into a large rock and coming to a stop.
The burly assassin's injuries were relatively minor.
They were shocked to see that the old man in front of them had defeated the two martial artists at the Meridian Opening Realm with a single move.
The thought of backing out instantly crossed my mind.
"Manager Xu's information is incorrect! That guard's strength is definitely above the Meridian Opening Realm!"
"We must escape!"
He struggled to his feet and ran away.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan was not about to give him a chance to escape.
He raised his hand.
The energy at his fingertips was compressed and released again.
It struck the burly assassin precisely on the calf.
"what!"
The burly man screamed and collapsed to the ground.
The force of the energy pierced through his right calf from the side, causing the bone and flesh to explode, and blood gushed out.
He could never stand up again.
Another assassin, clutching his smashed ear, curled up on the ground.
It's already a case of less air intake and more air output.
The blood between his fingers stained the earth with dark red marks.
The burly man hugged his calves and half-propped himself up, staring intently at Lu Yuan and Old Huang, who stood with his hands hanging down.
His voice was filled with immense fear.
"Who...who exactly are you?"
How could someone like you exist in such a small place as Qingzhou?
besides......"
The assassin looked at Old Huang.
"How could someone with such profound cultivation willingly become your bodyguard?"
Lu Yuan took a few steps closer.
His arrogance remained unchanged.
"He's not a guard, he's my servant."
"What's the difference!" the assassin roared.
Not only the assassins, but Lu Yuan was also shocked by Lao Huang's strength.
Two experts at the Meridian Opening Realm!
Old Huang only used one palm strike.
They were beaten so badly they couldn't even fight back.
Just how powerful is Lao Huang?
It should be noted that Qin Lie, the strongest person in Qingzhou City on the surface, is only at the Meridian Opening Realm.
Why would someone like that willingly become a servant in the Lu family?
In Lu Yuan's memory.
Old Huang came to the Lu family after his original parents passed away.
After arriving at the Lu family, she has been following Lu Yuan and taking care of him.
Moreover, judging from Lao Huang's previous behavior, he is definitely familiar with his parents.
Could it be that... the original owner's adoptive parents were not just ordinary retainers of the Lu family?
Lu Yuan suppressed his turbulent thoughts and turned his attention back to the assassin.
"Tell me first, who sent you?"
"Hmph! Tell you? Dream on!"
"Just kill me!"
The burly assassin shut his mouth and stopped talking.
His face showed an expression that seemed determined to die.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked up abruptly.
Staring at Lu Yuan's fingers.
The sound changed from fear to a kind of extremely absurd excitement and terror.
"Haha! I get it! I get it all!"
"I know who you are!"
Lu Yuan looked at him with a face full of surprise.
I don't understand what this guy is imagining this time.
"How could someone as mere Body Tempering Realm as you possibly transform internal energy into qi!"
Because you're using... the Six Meridians!
You are a member of the Duan family of the Nanzhao Kingdom!
"That makes sense. Only the Duan family would assign such an old servant to their descendants!"
I understand, I understand everything...
He burst into laughter, his laughter filled with despair.
Upon hearing this, the assassin who had covered his ears...
The wailing stopped instantly.
Instead, their faces were filled with despair!
He lay quietly on the ground, waiting to die.
He admitted it.
"Six Meridians?...The Six Meridians Divine Sword?"
"The Nanzhao Kingdom?...Dali?"
"What on earth is going on?"
Just as Lu Yuan was wondering what was going on, a familiar notification sound rang in his mind.
