Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 102
The unified, respectful cry made Hua Yunfei’s body stiffen, his face filled with stunned disbelief, as if he doubted his own ears.
What was he hearing?
Lord Envoy?
Hua Yunfei immediately stood up and turned his body to look outside the inn’s main door.
It wasn’t just Hua Yunfei whose expression changed dramatically; even Hua Tianhai, who had been composed until now, sat up from his wooden chair.
At this moment, Hua Tianhai’s aged face turned grave, his murky, elderly eyes fixed on the inn’s entrance.
Was that old fellow Li Chengfeng here?
Despite his constant disparaging remarks about Li Chengfeng in front of others, the person Hua Tianhai was most wary of was actually that old fox Li Chengfeng.
He even held a trace of fear in his heart.
A Martial Artist at the Great Achievement stage of Inner Qi, and one who had broken through long ago at that, was not someone he could challenge.
In the Inner Qi stage, each step was a world of difference.
For a Martial Artist at the Great Achievement stage of Inner Qi, the Inner Qi in their body could solidify around them, possessing immense power. Every move and every strike carried terrifying force.
Especially since Li Chengfeng also cultivated a mysterious and unpredictable martial sword art.
Back in the day, he had witnessed that old fellow Li Chengfeng’s sword techniques.
He estimated he wouldn’t last three moves before becoming a ghost under Li Chengfeng’s sword.
“Hmm?”
“Something’s wrong?”
“This isn’t Li Chengfeng’s aura?”
“Who is it!”
In the next moment, the grave expression on Hua Tianhai’s old face shifted.
Because he sensed that the two people who had suddenly appeared outside did not have Li Chengfeng’s aura at all.
Before Hua Yunfei beside him could even ask,
Several figures appeared outside the inn door, their long shadows stretching under the scorching sun.
Then, a young man dressed in dark, brocade robes walked into the inn, surrounded by Lin Mu and the others.
Lin Mu’s expression was no longer dark as a burnt pot; it had become respectful.
The newcomer was Lu Xuan.
After entering the inn, Lu Xuan saw two people not wearing Mysterious Bird Guard uniforms inside.
Lu Xuan’s face showed no emotion. He just clasped his hands behind his back and spoke in a calm tone.
“Who are they, Enforcer Lin Mu? I remember telling you,
No one besides Mysterious Bird Guards are allowed to appear on this street!”
Lu Xuan had simply scanned the two men in front and had already sensed their martial realms.
One was a Blood Refining stage Martial Artist. The presence of the old man, however, surprised Lu Xuan a little.
This old man was actually an Inner Qi stage Martial Artist. This was the first time Lu Xuan had encountered an Inner Qi stage warrior in White Path Prefecture city, aside from Li Chengfeng.
As expected of the prefectural city, where even Inner Qi stage Martial Artists can be encountered randomly.
But it was precisely because he sensed the presence of this Inner Qi stage warrior that Lu Xuan questioned Lin Mu.
If that Fengyue Pavilion Phantom Shadow appeared early, wouldn’t this Inner Qi stage warrior get the jump on it and kill it first?
Wouldn’t that mean all Lu Xuan’s efforts were in vain?
No matter who they were, Lu Xuan would not allow anyone to snatch the target he had his eye on.
“Lord Envoy, these two are not Mysterious Bird Guards.”
“As for why they are here, your subordinate was powerless to stop them. I ask for Lord Envoy’s punishment!”
Facing Lu Xuan’s question, Lin Mu did not make any excuses. He simply admitted his own inadequacy to Lu Xuan.
“Don’t let it happen again.”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan didn’t press Lin Mu further. He just uttered a few faint words before turning his gaze towards Hua Tianhai.
“The Mysterious Bird Guards are conducting business. Idlers are not permitted to linger here.”
“The two of you, leave at once!”
Lu Xuan didn’t give Hua Tianhai and the other man a pleasant look, directly telling them to be sensible and get lost immediately.
Coincidentally, Lu Xuan was in a rather good mood after breaking through to the Outer Aura Master realm, so he couldn’t be bothered dealing with Hua Tianhai and the other man right now.
Hua Tianhai had already risen from the wooden chair. His right hand gripped a cane, which he thrust forcefully against the ground.
Seeing Lin Mu, a man in his forties, being so reverent towards a young brat who still smelled of his mother’s milk.
And calling him Lord Envoy?
This scene seemed somewhat bizarre, making even someone as experienced as Hua Tianhai feel extremely strange.
Could it be this kid has a significant connection to Li Chengfeng?
Therefore, faced with Lu Xuan’s rudeness, Hua Tianhai didn’t get angry. Instead, he frantically tried to sense his surroundings.
Attempting to detect Li Chengfeng’s aura.
“Hmph, what a loud tone for a little brat!”
“Who are you, trying to mystify people? Where is Li Chengfeng? Tell him to come out and see this old man.”
“This old man has dominated…”
Just as Hua Tianhai was about to boast about his past exploits,
Lu Xuan’s face remained expressionless as he gently raised his right hand.
On his right palm, space seemed to ripple, and a transparent, solidified Aura energy gathered.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xuan moved his right hand slightly, flicking it towards Hua Tianhai.
The thing Lu Xuan disliked most in life was explaining himself to others.
Preaching is useless; only broken bones can make the other party choose to shut up.
Suddenly, a transparent streak of Aura energy shot towards Hua Tianhai.
“What is this!?”
This terrifying streak of Aura energy jolted Hua Tianhai into instant clarity. He immediately let go of the cane in his hand and quickly raised both hands.
Hua Tianhai channeled the Inner Qi from his body into his palms, which then bloomed with a faint blue glow. A deep, hoarse sound came from his throat.
“Immeasurable Palm!”
Shimmering points of pale blue light shot rapidly from Hua Tianhai’s palms, meeting the transparent Aura energy streak that made his hair stand on end.
Hua Tianhai’s hasty defense collided with the transparent Aura energy attacking from the void.
Thump!
A dull sound echoed as the collision between the two forces erupted into a terrifying storm of ripples.
A bitingly cold hurricane howled, cutting through the surrounding objects like knives.
The transparent Aura energy streak, carrying its terrifying offensive power, effortlessly annihilated Hua Tianhai’s full-force attack in an instant.
Immediately after, the transparent Aura energy seemed completely unaffected by Hua Tianhai’s strike.
With speed faster than lightning, it struck Hua Tianhai squarely in the chest.
Pfft!
Hua Tianhai’s body was sent flying through the air like a cannonball, crashing towards the inn’s wall.
The inn wall collapsed under the impact of Hua Tianhai’s body, and he was sent heavily smashing onto a street several hundred meters away.
Inside the inn, everyone looked towards the collapsed wall and saw Hua Tianhai lying fallen on the distant street.
Instantly, the inn fell into dead silence.
Lin Mu and the other Mysterious Bird Guards were dumbstruck, their eyes glued to Lu Xuan’s back, as if trying to see this new Lord Envoy clearly.
What kind of divine technique was this?
A casual flick of the hand, like swatting a fly, had sent an expert Inner Qi stage warrior flying several hundred meters away, life or death unknown!
Even Lord Envoy Li Chengfeng didn’t possess such an exaggerated level of power!
