Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 90
Regarding the so-called Dragon Lord in Scale River, Lu Xuan had previously only been speculating.
He never expected that this Envoy of the Mysterious Bird Guard truly knew its origins.
No wonder that demon beast had persisted in Scale River; it was because they were wary of the terrifying phantom within it.
“Impossible!”
“Although that Dragon Lord was wounded by the Tianqi Emperor back then and suppressed at the bottom of Scale River by the power of the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Chains…”
“The Divine Sense it left on that carp demon beast is comparable to a full-force strike from an External Aura Grandmaster.”
“Even if you are an Internal Energy realm martial artist, you couldn’t possibly survive facing that Divine Sense.”
Li Chengfeng stared intently at Lu Xuan, as if trying to see right through him.
If Zhao Sheng hadn’t lied to him, and this person had attacked the demon beast in Scale River, then he would have inevitably triggered the Divine Sense the Dragon Lord left on it.
An Internal Energy realm martial artist facing a strike from an External Aura Grandmaster would certainly be doomed.
Li Chengfeng’s suspicion wasn’t unfounded.
Because Lu Xuan had only managed to narrowly escape that dragon claw phantom by relying on his Indestructible Vajra Body Tempering art and his Swift Wind Step technique.
“Envoy Li, the fact that I survived facing that Dragon Lord’s Divine Sense means I naturally have my own methods.”
“Of course, that’s not important. What is important is that you’d best answer my question.”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xuan’s hand shot out abruptly, grabbing towards Li Chengfeng.
If he didn’t believe him, then Lu Xuan would use his strength to make him believe.
This was Lu Xuan’s consistent way of doing things; he didn’t like explaining himself at great length to others.
“Hmm!”
“Trying to test this old man’s strength?”
Seeing Lu Xuan suddenly strike, the Internal Energy within Li Chengfeng erupted. A terrifying aura swept out from him, stirring up a gust of wind.
Everyone in the hall, faced with Li Chengfeng’s fearsome aura, burst forth with their own vital energy to resist this powerful force.
Yet Lu Xuan, standing right in front of Li Chengfeng, showed no reaction. The hand reaching for Li Chengfeng didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
In the next moment, under Li Chengfeng’s incredulous gaze…
Lu Xuan’s hand broke through Li Chengfeng’s Internal Energy defense as easily as splitting bamboo, and landed firmly on Li Chengfeng’s shoulder.
An even more powerful Internal Energy surged from the palm of Lu Xuan’s hand, vast and boundless like the sea, turbulent and mighty, pressing down to suppress Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng’s Internal Energy, upon encountering Lu Xuan’s profound and vigorous energy, offered no resistance whatsoever. It was quickly suppressed, and Li Chengfeng found himself completely immobilized.
Feeling that absurdly powerful Internal Energy from Lu Xuan within his body, Li Chengfeng’s old eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, unable to believe what was happening.
Especially when he saw that mysterious, unfathomable energy wall forming in front of Lu Xuan, Li Chengfeng finally cried out in astonishment.
“External Aura Grandmaster!”
“No!”
“It’s the peak of Internal Energy, almost breaking through to the External Aura Grandmaster realm!”
Lu Xuan’s Internal Energy had already become so profound and vigorous that it was nearly condensing into Aura Essence.
The scene of Lu Xuan effortlessly suppressing Li Chengfeng was fully witnessed by Li Yanran and Zhao Sheng’s group of three.
Li Yanran’s small mouth opened slightly, her beautiful eyes round with shock, sparkling with stunned light. The impressive curves of her chest rose and fell unevenly.
“Envoy Li… was actually defeated!”
Zhao Sheng slowly uttered these words. It was hard for him to imagine that the profoundly deep Envoy he held in such high esteem had been suppressed by Senior Xuan.
This undoubtedly left a huge shock in his heart.
Seeing that Li Chengfeng had already given up resistance, Lu Xuan withdrew the hand pressing on his shoulder.
“Envoy Li, is this reason sufficient enough for you?”
Li Chengfeng heard Lu Xuan’s words as if waking from a dream, but his eyes never left Lu Xuan.
A peerless genius!
A monstrous prodigy!
Around twenty years old, and already at the peak of Internal Energy.
He was even advancing towards the External Aura Grandmaster realm. Breaking through was just a matter of course.
Even those geniuses and prodigies in the capital would pale in comparison before this one.
Martial artists at the External Aura realm are hailed as Grandmasters.
Even in the capital, a place teeming with experts and hidden talents, they are prominent figures.
Even in their own family, there were only a few External Aura Grandmasters.
“Esteemed… oh no, Senior, how should I address you? Your presence here truly brings honor to my humble abode!”
Li Chengfeng’s old face immediately wrinkled up, the folds deep enough to trap a fly.
It looked like a dried-up orange peel, breaking into a smile that made Lu Xuan’s hair stand on end.
“Uncle Feng, this is the Internal Energy expert I was telling you about earlier, Lu Xuan!”
By now, Li Yanran had come to Lu Xuan’s side and spoke to Li Chengfeng as if presenting a prize.
Of course, Li Yanran was still in a state of shock. Originally, she already held Lu Xuan in high regard.
But she realized she had been wrong again.
This young master of a pharmacy in a small county town was not only an Internal Energy expert but also a peerless fierce individual on the verge of breaking through to the External Aura Grandmaster realm!
Li Yanran was starting to question her life!
Was Lu Xuan the heavens’ illegitimate son or something!
“Ah, so you are a friend of our Yanran! Please, take a seat!”
After hearing Li Yanran’s words, Li Chengfeng became even more hospitable and enthusiastic, quickly gesturing for Lu Xuan to take the main seat at the front.
“Envoy Li, there’s no need for such courtesy. You can just call me Lu Xuan.”
Faced with Li Chengfeng’s enthusiasm, Lu Xuan seemed somewhat speechless, but he still took the seat on the left side.
Li Chengfeng also sat down on Lu Xuan’s right, then spoke to Zhao Sheng and the other two.
“You three may leave now. I wish to have a good talk with young friend Lu Xuan. I will find you later.”
“Yanran, you silly girl, where are your manners?”
“Your close friend is here, and you haven’t even gone to prepare tea yet?”
“Ah, right, go get the top-grade tea leaves I’ve been collect for years. Today, I must properly entertain our young friend.”
“Ah!”
Looking at Li Chengfeng’s demeanor, the image of her wise and serene Uncle Feng vanished from Li Yanran’s mind forever.
I feel like Lu Xuan is more like your close friend than mine!
“Little Xuan!”
“So you have the strength of the peak Internal Energy realm. But to remain unscathed under that Dragon Lord’s Divine Sense, which is comparable to an External Aura Grandmaster…”
“You must have cultivated an extraordinary body tempering technique!”
“Truly, a hero emerges from the youth!”
Li Chengfeng spoke with familiar ease, as if Lu Xuan was his bosom friend.
“That Dragon Lord at the bottom of Scale River is actually a Nether Python that became a spirit. Later, it encountered some tremendous, heaven-defying opportunity.”
“From a python demon beast, it rapidly broke through to the Divine Mansion realm. Then, tempered by the power of heaven and earth, it gained a wisp of a true Flood Dragon’s might!”
