Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 121

Upon hearing this, Mo Ronghua no longer dared to remain silent.

He was afraid that if he continued to keep quiet, he would end up having to sell off the entire Jingtai Prefecture just to satisfy this young man’s outrageous demands.

“Lord Lu, are you jesting with this old man?”

“Do you truly believe I would agree to such compensation?”

Five mid-grade and twenty low-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures.

This young man actually had the audacity to demand such an immense fortune of martial resources.

The inventory of the Jingtai Prefecture Xuanniao Guard only contained five mid-grade and just over thirty low-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures. With one demand, Lu Xuan nearly cleaned out his entire stock.

Who could withstand that!
Moreover, Mo Ronghua didn’t believe a single word of Lu Xuan’s reasoning.

Those two great demons were only equivalent to martial artists who had just entered the Internal Qi realm; their combined strength was, at most, on par with a minor accomplishment Internal Qi realm martial artist.

You, a Xuanniao Guard Commissioner, a martial artist at the major accomplishment stage of the Internal Qi realm.

Are you trying to tell me that slaying those two great demons required such tremendous effort and consumed a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures?

Aren’t you treating me like a fool?
“No, absolutely not! Lord Lu, you are deliberately making a fool of this old man!”

“It was indeed my fault that those two great demons escaped into Fenglin County of Baidao Prefecture.”

“Let’s do this: I will offer three low-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures as compensation for you, Lord Lu.”

Mo Ronghua’s attitude was extremely firm; he was only willing to privately give Lu Xuan three low-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures.

And even this was only because he acknowledged his dereliction of duty. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been willing to compensate Lu Xuan with even a single low-grade spiritual treasure.

Hearing that Mo Ronghua was only willing to offer three low-grade spiritual treasures, Lu Xuan’s face turned cold.

“Lord Mo, are you insulting this Commissioner?”

“As the Baidao Prefecture Commissioner, every word I speak is undoubtedly true.”

“Your Jingtai Prefecture must compensate me for these losses!”

Three low-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures weren’t even enough for a snack as far as Lu Xuan was concerned.

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the inn instantly became tense.

Faced with Lu Xuan’s words, Mo Ronghua also felt a surge of anger.

“Lord Lu, this is the only compensation this old man offers. It will not change.”

“If you are dissatisfied, Lord Lu, I would happen like to experience your methods firsthand.”

Having said that, a faint imposing aura surged around Mo Ronghua, as if he intended to test Lu Xuan’s strength.

He had long wanted to probe this young man who had taken over Li Chengfeng’s position, to see what exceptional qualities this sharp and aggressive youth possessed!
What made Li Chengfeng, that old fox, feel assured enough to hand Baidao Prefecture over to him?

“Lord Lu, you are young and impulsive. Do you understand the principle that there is always someone better, a sky beyond the sky?”

While Mo Ronghua was speaking, a crimson light flickered deep within Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“Is that so, Lord Mo? Then let this Commissioner see what you’re capable of.”

In an instant, a visible crimson aura shield materialized, enveloping Lu Xuan’s body.

The aura coiling on the surface of the crimson shield writhed like flowing lava, emitting a terrifying high temperature and glowing with a crystalline brightness.

“What!”
“This is!”

Upon seeing the aura shield surrounding Lu Xuan, Mo Ronghua cried out in shock.

Then, a crimson stream of pure aura, moving with lightning speed, shot straight towards Mo Ronghua.

This crimson aura radiated an aura that made Mo Ronghua’s hair stand on end.

Mo Ronghua reacted instantly, channeling all the Internal Qi within his body and throwing a powerful punch.
“World-Shaking Fist!”

An indistinct, illusory fist materialized in the void, carrying Mo Ronghua’s powerful Internal Qi as it shot towards the crimson aura stream.

In the next moment, under Mo Ronghua’s gaze, his full-power strike, upon meeting Lu Xuan’s crimson aura stream, was instantly shattered as if an egg hitting a rock.

Immediately after, the crimson stream, without slowing down in the slightest, continued its relentless assault towards Mo Ronghua with undiminished force.

Seeing this and realizing it was too late to dodge, Mo Ronghua, within the span of a single breath, circulated his Internal Qi throughout his body, adopting a defensive posture to meet the crimson stream with his physical body.

Thud!
A dull thud echoed.

The moment they collided, a powerful shockwave erupted.

It was followed by a burst of fierce wind; sharp gusts of aura swept through, carving shocking gashes into the inn’s tables and chairs.

Mo Ronghua, propelled by this tremendous impact force, was sent staggering over a dozen steps backward, each step leaving a heavy imprint in the ground.

He only managed to steady himself just before crashing into the inn’s main door.

Mo Ronghua looked up, shocked, ignoring the small cuts inflicted by the aura winds on his arms.

“This power!”
“You… you… are!”
“A Master!”

This power was overwhelmingly strong, irresistible. His own Internal Qi hadn’t stood a chance against it.

What else could it be but the power of that realm!
The Aura power of an External Aura Master—a single strand of it weighed as much as ten thousand jun.

Never mind a martial artist at the major accomplishment stage of the Internal Qi realm; even a peak Internal Qi realm martial artist would be easily crushed before an External Aura Master.

Li Chengfeng!
Where on earth did that old fox find this monster?

This level of martial talent could no longer be described as genius.

This simply wasn’t human!
An External Aura Master—they were true old monsters within the Great Xia Dynasty.

Each one was a major figure ruling over their own territory!
With the Divine Mansion True Masters not appearing in the world, External Aura Masters were the ones who roamed the land unhindered!

Precisely because of their power, within his own clan, every External Aura Master held the position of Elder.

At that moment, a faint sound of something cutting through the air was heard.

Another crimson aura stream, identical to the previous one, shot through the void towards Mo Ronghua’s position.

“Stop!”
“Lord Lu, I admit defeat.”
“This old man believes we can still discuss this properly.”

Seeing that crimson aura, Mo Ronghua hurriedly shouted.

He had no desire to experience the power of that aura again!

He didn’t dare, he truly didn’t dare anymore.

Lu Xuan must have held back during that previous aura attack.

Otherwise, his arms wouldn’t just be aching and numb; they would have been severed clean off.

As soon as Mo Ronghua’s words fell, the crimson aura instantly changed direction, shooting straight up through the inn’s roof.

It then pierced through the roof, soaring directly into the sky.

Witnessing its power, Mo Ronghua’s eye twitched involuntarily, and he felt a wave of relief.

Thank goodness he had spoken quickly, otherwise…
