CHAPTER 713: CHAPTER 712 THIS TIME YOU WIN

This is what’s called an investigation?

Lu Zixun suddenly became alert, sensing something amiss.

Is Yun Yanming really that stupid?

A probing of this level could have been handled by leaving just one person behind.

Among those in the shop, none were above I-Level Spiritual Ability Users.

And them?

One F-Level, three G-Level, three I-Level; with such strength, Lu Zixun couldn’t believe the Song Family would risk using spiritual energy detection.

Sensing the scent of conspiracy, Lu Zixun quietly moved to the back of the group.

Though these people posed no threat to him, who knew what strange things could be within the Song Family Ruins.

"Lord Xun, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Lu Zixun hadn’t entered the Underground Cave, Yun Yanming’s eyes flashed with confusion.

"I’ve just received a message, it looks like I can’t make it."

Lu Zixun expressed regret, "It seems this time, I will have to stand you up."

Hearing the news, Yun Yanming became anxious, hastily saying, "No, Lord Xun, without you, we have no chance at all."

"Heh."

Watching Yun Yanming’s expression, Lu Zixun suddenly burst into laughter, "Afraid your goal isn’t the Song Family, but me?"

"Hm?"

Yun Yanming’s heart skipped a beat, then he asked with a puzzled face, "Lord Xun, I don’t understand what you’re saying."

"Just talking."

With a nonchalant brush-off, Lu Zixun summoned the Night Evil Sword and smiled, "But this time, I really can’t join. The Demon Country affairs are urgent. Maybe next time."

"Maybe there won’t be a next time."

Gushanyuan, who had initially entered the Underground Cave, appeared from another corner of the courtyard.

Holding the head of the Beast Giant, he gazed coldly at Lu Zixun.

At the same time, overhead the previously peaceful Cultivation Room, the crimson barrier that had only appeared in the Insect Breeding Grounds during battle materialized, with countless Blood Energy converging in the sky.

Wang Duli called forth the Talismanic Pen, etching the No-fly Array.

Qing Yuanyang also began to establish rules.

On Gu Beihan’s body, an unknown Extraordinary Power surged.

"It’s a pity, if you had entered our ancestral land, it would have been easier to dispose of you."

When Patriarch Ouyang, with F-Level strength, appeared in the courtyard, Lu Zixun figured it all out.

The sudden emergence of the Song Family was fake news spread by Gu Beihan; it was actually the Ouyang Family.

These forces had long wanted to make a move on Lu Zixun, just waiting for an opportunity.

The death of Yang Guohong provided them with a golden one.

Busy increasing his own strength, Lu Zixun, who hadn’t paid attention to them, was now paying the price.

He had thought his F-Level strength was enough to deter these people, but now, he realized it wasn’t.

Facing these eager eyes, Lu Zixun knew today was a matter of life or death. The only thing was...

Without making it obvious, Lu Zixun took a step back, closer to the wall, and watched Yun Yanming with a chilling gaze, "Even if you kill me, the Demon Country knows of my whereabouts."

"And what of it?"

Yun Yanming burst into laughter, swinging a palm at Lu Zixun, signaling the start of the attack, "They only know that you, Lu Zixun, were with me, Yun Yanming, with Order, with the Crimson Alliance, what does it matter to them?"

Dodging Yun Yanming’s palm, the Night Evil Sword blocked the onrushing blade energy.

Under the Spiritual Power Shield, Lu Zixun deployed it in the next second, blocking the other attacks.

For the current situation, Lu Zixun was crystal clear, he had to activate Sky Splitting.

It had to be said, Lu Zixun was still overconfident.

He believed that with his own strength, even if he directly exposed the intentions of people like Yun Yanming, nothing would happen.

The Demon Country had profited time and time again, which made Lu Zixun a bit too overconfident. In a fight against these old foxes, Lu Zixun’s experience still fell short.

With twenty-five minutes remaining, Lu Zixun silently calculated the time. With a burst of Sword Qi, he pushed back the crowd, took a breath, and then activated the Ice and Fire Domain.

With the Ice and Fire Domain’s enhancement, Lu Zixun’s situation turned slightly better.

Patriarch Ouyang bit the tip of his tongue, a drop of Essence Blood fell on the long knife, and the filthy Sword Qi shattered the Ice and Fire Domain, also breaking Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Barrier.

Had it not been for Lu Zixun’s timely reaction, turning his back and using the characteristic of Favor to block the knife Qi, he probably would have suffered serious injuries on the spot.

But on the battlefield, showing your back to the enemy is never a good thing.

Even though Lu Zixun turned around in time, the storm-like barrage of attacks still left his body with many new wounds.

Twenty minutes.

The reason Lu Zixun, who could have directly activated his Time-Space Reversal ability, had not done so was that he wanted to test the abilities of these people.

As expected, facing so many alone was too forced, especially dealing with Patriarch Ouyang, who had F-level strength and constantly restricted him.

"Seal!"

Gu Beihan, who had hidden nearby for a long time, shouted sharply.

An invisible force bore down on Lu Zixun, unavoidable and irresistible, directly locking down Lu Zixun’s Bloodline Power.

Suddenly losing his Bloodline Power and unable to wield Spiritual Fire, Lu Zixun was backlashed by Spiritual Energy, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

Similarly, with Spiritual Fire no longer restricting their movements, Gushanyuan and Leng Siyu were freed.

They began to attack from angles Lu Zixun couldn’t defend against.

"What is this ability?"

Struggling to block the slash of Patriarch Ouyang’s long knife, Lu Zixun turned his gaze towards Gu Beihan.

Unfortunately, this was not a TV drama, Lu Zixun was not the protagonist, and the villains had no intention of honestly answering Lu Zixun’s question.

When they realized that Lu Zixun could still speak, the surrounding attacks intensified by threefold.

Yun Yanming’s Nightmare Ability also descended on the battlefield.

Started using his Extraordinary Power to try and pull Lu Zixun into a dreamscape.

Lu Zixun, momentarily unguarded and somewhat dazed, was directly slashed in the chest by Patriarch Ouyang’s long knife infused with filthy power.

Had Lu Zixun not been a Demon Beast, that single cut would have been enough to take his life.

Severe pain surged to his heart, stimulating Lu Zixun’s nerves.

He suddenly broke free from Yun Yanming’s Nightmare pull and plunged his sword into Patriarch Ouyang’s stomach, with Sword Qi bursting out in all directions.

Clearly, this hit should have been enough to incapacitate Patriarch Ouyang.

Unfortunately, the Blood Energy converging above suddenly poured out, healing Patriarch Ouyang’s wound.

Watching the blood spheres churn continuously above, Lu Zixun realized that this wasn’t an attack tactic; it was healing—they wanted to wear him down.

Five minutes.

Lu Zixun, panting and on the verge of collapsing, was close to depleting all his Spiritual Energy.

"If you don’t use your Extraordinary Power now, you’re going to die," Gu Beihan kindly said, looking at Lu Zixun who was still stubbornly resisting.

With the last of his Spiritual Energy, he swung his sword and looked up to the few remaining blood spheres in the sky, Lu Zixun chuckled: "You win this time."

Sky Splitting, activated, Time Reversal.
