Chapter 723

?Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Not Even Half Less_1 Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Not Even Half Less_1 The battle between the four had become increasingly intense.

As strong warriors cultivated by the Lu family with all their heart, Lu Qing and Lu Hong were powerful and well-versed in combined assault tactics.

Their mutual coordination allowed them to display even greater strength.

Qin Qinglong and Xu Dan, whose cultivation realms were originally inferior to their opponents, had powerful combat techniques, but they gradually fell into a disadvantage under the combined assault of the other pair.

After gaining the upper hand, Lu Qing and Lu Hong grew even more aggressive in their momentum.

Sensing Qin Qinglong’s connection to the Flame Dragon Organization, they were reluctant to kill him outright due to concerns about his background.

However, they had no such reservations against Xu Dan, targeting his vital points with every strike.

Before long, Xu Dan was completely drenched in blood, having turned into a blood man.

Moreover, the impact of his injuries severely affected his performance.

Qin Qinglong was not spared either; one of his arms was punctured by Lu Hong’s Long Spear and temporarily disabled.

“Come on, bring it!” Xu Dan roared.

Although his injuries were mounting, his aura was not diminished in the slightest—instead, it grew fiercer!

Unnoticed, his Heavenly Dragon Vajra Zen had actually broken through to the second realm.

The Vajra Phantom he conjured had evolved into a Bodhisattva Phantom, instantly doubling its power at least.

If Xu Dan had not been affected by his injuries and could exhibit his full strength, he might not necessarily lose to Lu Qing and Lu Hong in a one-on-one fight.

Regrettably, despite his newfound strength, his severe injuries meant that he could not unleash the full power of the second level Heavenly Dragon Vajra Zen.

“Lu Hong, hold off Qin Qinglong.

I’ll finish the other one first,” Lu Qing quickly said.

“No problem.”

Lu Hong responded and rushed toward Qin Qinglong, his attacks becoming more fierce and vicious, completely enveloping Qin Qinglong within his range of assault.

While Qin Qinglong was entangled with Lu Hong, Lu Qing sneered, “Now there’s no one left to save you.

Die!”

Just as Xu Dan was about to face a life-threatening crisis

Suddenly, two strong gusts shot from afar, aiming directly at the vital point on Lu Qing’s back.

In that moment, Lu Qing wanted to curse his luck.

Why did such things always happen at the crucial moments!

Agitated as he was, he had no choice but to pull back, narrowly avoiding the attack that came from behind.

Whoosh whoosh…

Two Divine Swords flashed by, leaving two deep trenches on the ground.

Lu Qing’s expression changed, and he turned to look.

He saw a man carrying several swords on his back, gazing coldly at him.

“It’s you…

Shen Jianting!”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but cry out in shock.

As the top among the younger generation of the Sword Heaven Sect and a renowned figure on the list of heroes, Shen Jianting was naturally recognized by Lu Qing.

Lu Hong and Qin Qinglong, as well, momentarily ceased their confrontation and stood about seven or eight meters apart from one another.

Shen Jianting formed a sword sign with his hand, and the two Divine Swords automatically returned to the Sword Box on his back.

?0???.??

Shen Jianting nodded at Qin Qinglong and then fixed his cold gaze on Lu Qing and Lu Hong, snorting, “The Lu family is becoming more and more arrogant, daring to cause trouble at the home of Mr.

Xu’s father-in-law.

Do you really want to live a shorter life?”

Mr.

Xu?!

Lu Qing and Lu Hong exchanged glances, both seeing shock and confusion in each other’s eyes.

They had heard this name more than once, whether from the mouth of Xu Yunji, Lu Chennong, or from Qin Qinglong and others.

Who exactly is this Mr.

Xu?

If it were just Lu Chennong and others from the Secular World, they wouldn’t care, for those were merely mundane folks.

But Qin Qinglong, Shen Jianting—their statuses, even within the Ancient Martial World, were very distinguished.

Why were even they showing such respect to this Mr.

Xu?

For some reason, Lu Qing and Lu Hong suddenly had a thought—perhaps their decision to cause trouble this time was a grave mistake.

While they were filled with doubts, suddenly, they saw several figures rapidly approaching from the distance.

Each exuded an extraordinary presence.

“I thought I arrived quite early, but I didn’t expect to be beaten to it by Shen Jianting,” one of them said.

“Chu Wuya, you didn’t come too late either,” another remarked.

“Heh, I didn’t expect Li Tianfan to come here as well.”

“Luo Xiong?

Forget it, I won’t fight you today.

I don’t want to ruin Mr.

Xu’s joyous occasion.

We’ll have plenty of time in the future to have a hearty battle!”

…

The ordinary people didn’t make much of this exchange, but to Lu Qing and Lu Hong, every name was a source of fear, nearly making them wet themselves.

These individuals were among the elite of the current Ancient Martial World, each backed by a formidable force.

Not to mention, even their personal strength was no weaker than Lu Qing and Lu Hong’s.

But now that these top young masters had come together, could it all be because of that Mr.

Xu?

Chu Wuya watched Lu Qing and Lu Hong coldly and spoke, “Given the way things have unfolded, you two from the Lu family still don’t realize your mistake?”

Lu Qing and Lu Hong’s expressions were extremely ugly.

They wanted to retort but lacked the confidence to do so.

Just as Lu Qing and Lu Hong were at a loss,

a voice that seemed slightly aged came from afar.

“A bunch of juniors, cease your arrogance here.

Unless your elders come forth, you have no right to speak!”

The voice wasn’t loud, yet as it reached everyone’s ears, it caused pain to their eardrums and involuntarily sped up their heartbeats.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by the sound of the wind, a dark-skinned middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the scene.

Caught off guard, Shen Jianting and others were startled, instinctively striking at the middle-aged man with their techniques.

The man didn’t dodge or evade, facing the simultaneous attacks of several Martial Kings; he struck like lightning and blocked every technique, pushing Shen Jianting and the others back more than ten meters.

Clearly, he had been merciful, merely rendering Shen Jianting and the others temporarily unable to fight without inflicting serious injuries.

After all, no matter what, behind Shen Jian Ting and the others were powerful forces supporting them.

If Lu Ge really harmed them, the Lu family would likely bring down inevitable catastrophe upon themselves.

“Paying respects to the elder ancestor,” Lu Qing and Lu Hong said, their expressions filled with excitement as they hurriedly paid their respects.

Lu Ge nodded indifferently, then his gaze swept over the faces of Shen Jian Ting and the others one by one.

The gazes felt so real that it actually caused stinging pain on their faces.

Shen Jian Ting and the others were all terrified in their hearts.

They had come to realize that this unremarkable-looking middle-aged man in front of them had strength that was indeed at the pinnacle of their era.

They had only ever felt such a sensation in the presence of the few most powerful individuals within their Sects, or in their families.

“…” Shen Jian Ting wanted to say something.

However, he couldn’t make any sound.

Only then did he realize that even the ability to speak had been taken away from him, so he could only look at Lu Ge with anger in his eyes.

Lu Ge’s gaze turned to the people of the Xu Family and he ordered indifferently, “Xu Dan, Xu Xuanyi, Xu Yunji…

all twenty-two of you, end it yourselves.”

“As long as you’re willing to end it yourselves, then perhaps I can spare the rest of the Xu Family.”

“Otherwise, if I personally take action, every single one of you in the Xu Family must die!”

The long list of names he recited were all supporters of the Xu Xuanyi faction.

With the fall of his words, everyone couldn’t help but feel a chilling sense of dread.

They instinctively realized that this person in front of them was not fooling around, but was deadly serious.

He would certainly do as he said and wipe out the entire Xu Family!

Especially those who had their names called just now, they were even more panicked.

Xu Xuanqiang and Xu Xuanhao’s complexions did not look good either.

Damn, how is this different from what was agreed upon before?

If the entire Xu Family were to be wiped out, wouldn’t that include them as well?

Xu Xuanhao couldn’t help it and called out to Xu Xuanhao, “That…

elder ancestor, you must be mistaken, we are allies.

We had an agreement with the Ma Family, how can you turn against us as well?”

As soon as these words were spoken, people’s gazes towards him instantly changed.

Isn’t his confession admitting that they had colluded with the Ma Family from within and without?

Xu Xuanqiang wished he could strangle this fool to death, gasping for breath in frustration.

“Silence!”

Lu Ge let out a cold snort and glared coldly at him.

Xu Xuanhao only felt as if he had been hammered, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and falling to the ground with serious injuries.

He was so terrified that he trembled and dared not make any more sound.

Lu Ge continued icily, “My patience is limited.

I give you another ten seconds!”

His words came across as especially cold and ruthless!

Xu Xuanyi hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and speaking solemnly, “Honored senior, I am the family head of the Xu Family.

All of the Xu Family’s mistakes, I am willing to bear alone.

Even if it means pulverizing my body to dust, I have no grievances.

I only hope that you can spare the rest of my family.”

“Family Head!” People of the Xu Family cried out, their eyes brimming with hot tears.

Only at this critical moment of life and death could they finally see clearly who was truly there for the Xu Family.

If heaven would grant them another chance now, they swore they would definitely stand with Xu Xuanyi…

Even those from the Xu Xuanqiang faction within the Xu Family were thinking the same thing in their hearts.

Especially Xu Yunji, who was nearly splitting with fury.

Lu Ge sneered, “Who do you think you are?

I said twenty-two people from the Xu Family, and not even half a person less will suffice.”

“Cough…

cough cough…”

Xu Queyuan was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe, coughing violently.

He rebuked Xu Xuanqiang, “You scourge…

scourge…

Today the Xu Family is going to be destroyed because of you…

If I had known this would happen, I would never have helped you…

I regret it so much…

cough cough…”

His coughing became more and more violent, and he couldn’t even speak anymore.

Xu Xuanqiang hastily ran over, patting Xu Queyuan’s back to help him catch his breath.

“It seems you are all afraid to die.

Enough, it seems I must take action myself.”

Lu Ge had lost his patience to wait any longer.

He rose from the ground, levitating in mid-air.

“I haven’t killed anyone in a long while.

This will be a good opportunity to practice and announce to the Ancient Martial World.”

“I, Lu Ge, have returned!”

“You can all prepare to die!”

As his words were spoken, a tremendous aura radiated from him, like a descent of heavenly might.

The crowd felt as though breathing had become extra difficult.

Many people couldn’t withstand the pressure and began screaming and scattering in all directions.

At the brink of a crisis, Xu Xuanyi directed people to quickly head to the family’s established shelters.

But he himself did not leave.

Xu Yunji remained by his side.

Lu Chennong and others were also staying put, protected by the security team members.

Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Lu Ge’s face carried an even denser sneer, pleased with his own intimidation.

A clump of black light gathered in the sky.

The heavens suddenly darkened,

As if the apocalypse had descended.

“Haha…

Die, all of you!”

Lu Ge laughed wildly, lifting the black orb of light and smashing it towards the crowd below.
