?Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Accidental Success_1 Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Accidental Success_1 “Get out of my way!”
Xu Yunji, who was standing by Xu Xuanyi’s side, saw Lu Kunfeng running toward him and shouted urgently, rushing forward with clenched fists to stop him.
However, despite having consumed many good things recently under Xu Fan’s care and having advanced his cultivation from the Body Tempering Realm to Completion of the Qi Drawing Realm, in front of a King, his efforts were akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
“Die!”
A sinister smile playing on the corner of Lu Kunfeng’s mouth, he approached and struck out with his palm, unleashing a fierce blast of True Qi that hit Xu Yunji square on.
“Bang!”
Xu Yunji was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
Before his body even hit the ground, Lu Kunfeng had already reached Xu Xuanyi.
“Brother Xu, be careful!”
Si Zhengyuan shouted urgently, following up with a flying kick aimed at Si Zhengyuan from the air.
The latter easily dodged the leg slash with a sidestep and, with a flicker, appeared behind Xu Xuanyi, his Long Spear resting on Xu’s shoulder, and his left hand clutching at Xu’s throat, thinking he had the situation under control and ready to breathe a sigh of relief, he began to command the others to back off, “Step back…”
However, before Lu Kunfeng could finish his sentence, he had no choice but to be interrupted.
The fiercely indomitable Xu Dan arrived at his side, radiating with furious anger and his whole body glowing golden, even his fists were golden.
The thunderous golden fist seemed to carry a massive, several times larger, phantom shadow of a fist.
Its fierce and piercing wind was intimidating and struck terror into hearts.
Xu Dan knew he had to strike quickly while the enemy’s mind was unsettled, forcing him to let go of the hostage amid the danger, or if Lu Kunfeng managed to hold Xu Xuanyi hostage, the subsequent development would be unimaginable.
At this critical moment, Xu Dan’s mind whirled like lightning, quickly seizing a subtle weakness in his opponent’s guard, and instantly turned it into action.
Of course, his move wasn’t full strength, it just looked terrifying, but he actually held back some force, ready to withdraw at any moment if the situation took a bad turn.
The speed of his fist was instantaneous; as Lu Kunfeng saw it, his brow furrowed involuntarily, still pondering how to respond, the punch was already thundering toward him.
Lu Kunfeng’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively pushed Xu Xuanyi forward.
He didn’t believe Xu Dan would dare to strike Xu Xuanyi with a palm, certain that Xu Dan would abruptly withdraw and suffer the backlash of his own force, his energy thrown into chaos, while he himself would also be able to pull back and create distance.
As expected, Xu Dan immediately pulled back his punch and steadied the forcefully pushed Xu Xuanyi, then looked at Lu Kunfeng, who had retreated over ten meters away and leaped onto the wall.
“Bang!”
It was only then that Xu Yunji’s flying form hit the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, but he was not in mortal danger, still able to sit up and press against his chest, albeit with a very pale face.
Immediately, Xu family members rushed forward to help him up and quickly checked his injuries.
“Damn old bastard, you really have some vicious tricks,” Xu Dan, glaring at Lu Kunfeng, cursed loudly with his finger pointed, not caring about the reputation of a grandmaster.
But he didn’t dare chase after him, as protecting Xu Xuanyi was more important; after all, this was Xu Fan’s father-in-law, and any mishap could not be allowed, or he would bear an inescapable responsibility for thousands of deaths.
“…”
Lu Kunfeng did not expect such a master to stoop to cursing in the street and could not help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, his face turning a few shades redder, but in the end, he said nothing.
He knew that this time, in order to save his skin, he had threatened his opponent with the life of an ordinary person in a losing situation, an act that was despised in the Ancient Martial World.
What was even more infuriating was that he had failed, and if word of this got out, he would be both despised and laughed at.
In their youth, ancient martial artists did not care much about reputation, but the older generation that had made a name for themselves in the Ancient Martial World came to value their reputation as much, if not more, than their very lives.
Although Lu Kunfeng didn’t expect others to praise him for his martial virtue or good reputation, ultimately, he wasn’t part of an evil sect, and deep down, he still hoped that when people spoke of him, they would at least not focus on his dark past but rather his formidable skills.
But from today onward, he had a stain on his name, labeled as despicable and shameless.
Put simply, his late years were now disgraced.
Clenching his teeth, Lu Kunfeng felt an unpleasant taste in his mouth, but arguing now was pointless, so he turned to Xiao Luo, not far away, and said in a deep voice, “Xiao Luo, let’s go!”
“Alright!”
Xiao Luo was also very unwilling to leave, but the situation was beyond his control; he could not defeat his opponents, so all he could do was leave in disgrace.
Without a word, he leaped towards Lu Kunfeng.
“Hmph, you think you can leave without leaving something behind?
No way!”
Xu Dan could not overlook Lu Kunfeng’s dishonorable behavior and was feeling pent up with anger herself, certainly not willing to let him get away that easily.
She instantly exhaled and took flight towards the sky, charging like a ferocious tiger, her fist bursting forth with a golden glow.
Lu Kunfeng’s breathing quickened, and he immediately summoned all his strength, not daring to hold back any longer.
He planted his long spear atop the wall, and with his now-free hands swept in front of his chest.
As his True Qi was expelled, a Tai Chi pattern formed, with the black and white True Qi slowly circulating, looking very mystical.
Xu Dan’s punch was close at hand.
If it hit Lu Kunfeng, it would certainly leave him either dead or crippled.
However, Xu Dan’s expression suddenly changed when her fist struck the Tai Chi pattern; she was affected by a strange force, inexplicably causing her punch to veer off course.
Seeing this, a barely discernible smile appeared on Lu Kunfeng’s lips.
Although he was widely known as the Spear Sage of Liangguang, his hidden identity was that of a grandmaster-level Tai Chi Fist ancient martial artist.
In his youth, Lu Kunfeng had the fortune of following an itinerant Taoist from Wudang Mountain for a time, learning authentic Tai Chi Fist.
Despite appearing gentle and effortless, lacking in force, those who truly understood the mysteries of Tai Chi Fist knew its powerful essence, which is why Lu Kunfeng had continued his study and cultivation of Tai Chi Fist all along.
This fist technique was a grand martial skill that harmonized hardness with softness and was especially adept at overcoming the strong with gentleness.
????0.??
When he caught Xiao Luo earlier after Xu Dan had sent him flying with a kick, he was using the subtle strength of Tai Chi Fist, the principle of moving a thousand pounds with four ounces of effort.
However, Lu Kunfeng had missed one point, the most critical one: after his manipulation moved Xu Fan’s punch off course, it happened to strike Xiao Luo who was hurtling towards him.
Xiao Luo’s expression suddenly changed, caught completely off guard and filled with terror, but he had already missed the optimal time to dodge.
“Bang!”
Lu Kunfeng’s expression also changed, but it was too late for him to do anything.
He could only shout “No!” as a dull sound echoed; Xu Dan’s fist hit Xiao Luo in the chest, with the clear sound of bones breaking heard immediately.
Xiao Luo, tumbling backward like a torn sack, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and continued to bleed profusely from his mouth.
“Xiao Luo!”
Seeing Xiao Luo seriously injured, Lu Kunfeng’s furious anger flared up in an instant, his eyes blazing red, as he desperately launched a fierce, rapid attack on Xu Dan.
Xu Dan was also very surprised.
It was ironic how his misdirected hit led to the other party’s mishap, and he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
As Lu Kunfeng, provoked by this, let loose a torrential assault on him, Xu Dan panicked and could only hastily defend himself.
Soon he was forced back, and Lu Kunfeng took the opportunity to dash towards Xiao Luo, who was about to hit the ground.
