Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 148

Boom!

The roof of the Lu family’s main hall exploded open as a crimson streak of light shot down from above.

In an instant, a large hand landed on Ye Qingshan’s shoulder. Everyone turned their gaze toward the newcomer.

“Xuan’er!”

“Brother Xuan!”

“Little Xuan!”

“Envoy Xuan!”

From the palm of the hand Lu Xuan had placed on Ye Qingshan’s shoulder, streams of crimson True Qi surged forth.

The blue flames that had been spreading across Ye Qingshan’s body were instantly annihilated by Lu Xuan’s True Qi.

Simultaneously, all the malevolent energy that had invaded Ye Qingshan’s body was utterly destroyed by Lu Xuan’s power!
“Hmm.”

Once he confirmed Ye Qingshan was out of danger, Lu Xuan turned his head and acknowledged the others with a sound.

Under the awestruck gazes of everyone, bands of crimson True Qi appeared around Lu Xuan, undulating freely in the air like sacred streamers, giving him the divine and imposing aura of a deity descended from heaven!

The people in the hall felt a wave of warm, comforting heat, as refreshing as a spring breeze, relaxing both their bodies and minds.

Then, those crimson bands of True Qi shot toward everyone present.

Nourished by Lu Xuan’s True Qi, any remnants of malevolent energy within the group were completely eradicated.

Even Lu Yunqing and his wife, lying on a nearby couch, began to breathe more evenly, slowly opening their eyes.

Clarity shone in their eyes, completely devoid of the previous madness and dullness.

The shadow within the cluster of blue flame outside the door seemed affected by Lu Xuan’s crimson True Qi as well, instinctively retreating swiftly into the distance.

The scorching aura inside the hall caused the entity’s surface to emit wisps of white smoke, as if it were being burned by raging flames.

But just as the cluster of blue flame reached the street outside…

Lu Xuan’s figure was already there, waiting behind it.

“An ‘E’-level entity!”

An ‘E’-level supernatural entity actually existed within Qingyun County town.

Moreover, this entity was not ordinary; judging by its dense malevolent energy, it possessed strength equivalent to at least the late stage of the Internal Strength realm, if not greater.

However, since it was an ‘E’-level entity, Lu Xuan would not let it escape his grasp, even if he had to chase it to the ends of the earth.

Yet, just as Lu Xuan paused in his thoughts…

Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet violently cracked apart, fissures radiating outwards. Piercing, eerie blue light shot up from the crevices.

Immediately after, dozens of streams of bone-chilling blue malevolent energy erupted from the cracks, attacking Lu Xuan directly.

This was the maximum force the ‘E’-level entity could command within its supernatural domain.

“So this is a supernatural domain?”

Facing the sudden upheaval from the ground, Lu Xuan was somewhat surprised.

He was familiar with information about such domains.

It was an anomalous ability possessed only by supernatural entities of the ‘E’ level or above.

Once a domain was deployed, the ‘E’-level entity within it would not be restricted by daylight and could act freely anywhere inside the domain.

Moreover, within the domain, the entity’s malevolent energy would be enhanced unprecedentedly, and it could separate a large number of shadowy projections to act on its behalf.

Most terrifyingly, aside from martial artists at the Internal Strength realm or higher, no one trapped within such a domain could break its constraints.

Those caught inside could only be slaughtered at the entity’s whim!

This was also why Ye Qingshan had felt utter despair upon suspecting an ‘E’-level entity.

“Hmph!”

Facing these lethal streams of malevolent energy, a massive crimson shield of True Qi materialized around Lu Xuan.

The attacks, potent enough to be fatal to Internal Strength realm martial artists…

Upon colliding with Lu Xuan’s True Qi shield, merely caused the surface to ripple faintly before the energy dissipated without a sound.

Seeing this, the cluster of blue flame and shadow seized the chance to flee into the distance.

Witnessing the entity’s attempt to escape, Lu Xuan’s expression remained impassive.

He slowly drew a profound black broadsword, its blade inlaid with exquisitely crafted golden threads.

In the next instant, flames ignited on the blade without any apparent source—crimson fire that covered the sword, dancing and leaping wildly.

The space around the crimson flames visibly distorted and rippled, like waves on water’s surface.

The fact that even space was affected by these crimson flames was testament to the terrifying high temperatures they contained.

Lu Xuan’s eyes glowed with a crimson light as he gazed indifferently at the distant cluster of blue flame.

This was the first time Lu Xuan had employed the Crimson Flame Blade Technique since breaking through to the External True Qi Grandmaster realm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xuan swung the blade in his hand toward the fleeing cluster of blue flame and shadow.

Instantly!

A crimson pillar of fire, several meters thick, shot forth with a momentum capable of shattering all obstacles.

The pillar radiated an extreme, mountain-melting, sea-boiling heat as it assaulted the cluster of blue flame.

The crimson fire pillar shot through the blue flame entity at incredible speed.

In the air, a series of crackling and popping sounds erupted, as if something were being consumed by raging flames.

The cluster of blue flame was completely engulfed by the crimson inferno, forming a massive, violently burning fireball in mid-air.

Countless visible plumes of white smoke billowed from the great fireball.

Within it, Lu Xuan could vaguely make out a pitch-black shadow, twisting and struggling.

However, no matter how the shadow struggled, the crimson flames clung to it tenaciously, like maggots to bone.

With his heightened senses, Lu Xuan could even hear the entity’s agonized, tearing screams.

Several minutes later, only after the cluster of blue flame and shadow had been completely burned to nothingness…

Did Lu Xuan sense the malevolent energy in the surroundings, waiting until it had utterly dissipated before sheathing his Black Profound Blade.

With the destruction of the blue flame entity, the supernatural domain that had enveloped Qingyun County town vanished along with it.

All the black shadowy projections that had been running rampant throughout the town instantly ceased to exist.

Clang!

In the now silent surroundings, a clear, crisp sound suddenly rang out.

From the spot in mid-air where the blue flame entity had been destroyed, an object fell—a bowl-like vessel made of what appeared to be bronze.

“What’s this?”

What is this thing? Something left behind by that ‘E’-level entity?
Lu Xuan saw a bronze bowl resting quietly on the ground in the distance.

Filled with curiosity, Lu Xuan covered the distance in a few swift strides.

He did not touch the bronze bowl immediately. Instead, he carefully extended his senses to perceive it.

“No trace of malevolent energy!”

How strange. Why would that entity have something like this?

In the past, when Lu Xuan had slain other supernatural entities, he had never encountered a situation like this.

A constant flicker of sharp light shone in Lu Xuan’s eyes, as if he were deep in thought.

Lu Xuan was considering whether or not to take this bronze bowl.
