Do you know what mythical life is?

"You're not at the Transformation Realm?"

Xie Xingyu's pupils dilated as she looked at the sword that Lu Ping'an was holding between his fingers.

He didn't use his full strength in that sword strike.

After all, he was a martial artist at the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Lu Ping'an was only at the Transformation Realm.

But Lu Ping'an's ability to so easily deflect his sword strike still made his heart tighten.

"That was true before, but I just happened to break through during this period."

Lu Pingan loosened his fingers and flicked the sword, sending it flying to the side with a clang.

He then looked at Xie Xingci, who was not far away: "What, you can't accept defeat? Did you bring someone to back you up?"

Xie Xingci and Xie Xingyu look very alike.

They look like brothers.

Xie Xingci's face was grim.

He thought that his elder brother could easily take down Lu Ping'an, but he didn't expect that Lu Ping'an had already broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

"It was just a friendly sparring match. The way you attacked my brother the other day was a bit too much!"

Xie Xingyu looked at Lu Ping'an with a cold and stern expression.

Lu Ping'an's strength exceeded his expectations, but he didn't think he would lose until they had a real fight.

"Too much?"

Lu Pingan sneered, "It seems your Xie family are all cut from the same cloth!"

"Further words are useless, Xingyu. Cut off his arm as punishment!"

At this moment, a dignified old man who had come with Xie Xingyu and Xie Xingci spoke in a calm voice.

This old man is not the same person as the old man who was with Xie Xingci earlier.

"Hehe, Xie Yunhai, you really have a lot of nerve, actually trying to cut off the martial arts path of a true disciple of a master of the True Qi Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengyuan chuckled and stepped forward.

Xie Yunhai was a martial artist from the Xie family of the same generation as him.

In terms of strength, the two have always been evenly matched.

He was genuinely afraid that Xie Yunhai, wary of Lu Ping'an's martial arts talent, might try to kill him.

If that's the case, he might not be able to stop it.

"A True Qi Realm master? You mean that guy from the Four Symbols Martial Arts School is a True Qi Realm master?"

Xie Yunhai's pupils contracted, and his heart even stopped for a moment.

Although the Xie family is powerful, they cannot afford to offend a master of the True Qi Realm.

In fact, if it weren't for Lu Ping'an's maternal grandfather offending someone and being too busy to take care of himself, and if they hadn't been specifically warned, they wouldn't have bothered the Lu family.

"Otherwise, why do you think Ping An didn't return to the Lu family, but instead joined a small martial arts school in the county town?" Lu Chengyuan said smugly.

Xie Yunhai's expression shifted between light and dark.

I don't know if Lu Chengyuan is bluffing me or if it's really true.

"Xingyu, test his strength!"

Suddenly, Xie Yunhai spoke again.

Whether he's bluffing or not, we'll know once we see his true strength.

"Sing!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xingyu did not hesitate at all. She took a step and thrust her sword at Lu Ping'an.

And it's different from before.

He held nothing back with this sword strike.

With a single thrust of his sword, as swift as lightning, he reached Lu Ping'an in the blink of an eye.

The dragon reveals its scales!

Lu Ping'an sidestepped to avoid it, his steps ethereal, a blend of reality and illusion.

Then, with a palm strike, like a dragon revealing its scales, he knocked Xie Xingyu's sword away with a "snap".

Fire feathers flew everywhere!

After one move, he swiftly unleashed the Fiery Feathers from the Six Forms of the Vermilion Bird.

One palm strike after another was unleashed, relentlessly aimed at Xie Xingyu's vital points.

Xie Xingyu hurriedly returned to defend, his sword flashing like rain, blocking in front of him.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Lu Ping'an activated the Xuanwu Armor-Covering Technique, a skill at the minor completion stage, his hands flying, occasionally clashing with Xie Xingyu's sword light, producing clanging sounds.

Xie Xingyu's swordsmanship was fierce.

The sword is of very good quality.

However, as long as he doesn't clash head-on with the opponent when their sword speed is at full power, he can withstand the attack without taking damage.

"Azure Sea Entangled in Silk!"

Suddenly, Lu Ping'an seized the opportunity. The instant Xie Xingyu slashed down with her sword, he reached out with his palm, his strength as dense as a net, binding Xie Xingyu's blade.

Then he suddenly burst out, snatched the sword from Xie Xingyu's hand, and flung it aside.

"Turbulent Chaos!"

After flinging the sword away, he leaned forward, exerted force through his spine, and punched Xie Xingyu straight in the chest.

"not good!"

Xie Xingyu's expression changed; she hadn't expected Lu Pingan to attack so swiftly.

In his haste, he could only back away while raising his arm to shield himself.

"boom!"

Lu Ping'an delivered a punch, carrying the immense power of his Heavenly Pillar Body, splitting the power into several streams that exploded within Xie Xingyu's arm.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, Xie Xingyu's expression changed, and she hurriedly tried to dissipate the force while backing away.

"Azure Dragon Probes with its Claw!"

Having landed a successful blow, Lu Ping'an stepped forward again.

"stop!"

Seeing Xie Xingyu's defeat, Xie Yunhai couldn't help but step forward.

"snort!"

Lu Chengyuan snorted coldly and stepped forward as well.

We must not give Xie Yunhai a chance to ambush Lu Ping'an.

Seeing this, Lu Ping'an had no choice but to stop the pursuit.

"very good!"

"I never imagined that your Lu family could produce such a genius!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you haven't been cultivating for very long, have you?"

Xie Yunhai gave Lu Pingan a deep look.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he left with Xie Xingyu and Xie Xingci.

"Big...Senior Brother..."

After watching the group leave, Wang Cheng looked at Lu Ping'an and stammered.

He knew Lu Ping'an was very strong.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ping'an had already broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

With this level of skill, one could open a martial arts school in Yunxi County.

Even Master Liu of the Poyue Martial Arts School is only at the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

"alright."

Lu Pingan shook his head: "If anyone from the martial arts school challenges me again in the future, just refuse them for me."

"Alright, alright, then I'll head back first, Senior Brother." Wang Cheng immediately said, not daring to disturb Lu Ping'an any further.

"Fifth Grandfather, what is Xie Yunhai's strength?" Lu Ping'an asked Lu Chengyuan as he watched Wang Cheng leave.

"Like me, we are both at the Inner Strength Realm." Lu Chengyuan said solemnly.

Although he managed to scare Xie Yunhai with Qin Muzhi this time, Xie Yunhai will definitely find other ways to deal with Lu Ping'an afterwards.

After all, Lu Pingan's talent was too strong.

The Xie family and the Lu family are enemies, so they certainly won't let Lu Ping'an grow up unchecked.

As for offending a master of the True Qi Realm...

The Xie family has powerful backers.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to target the Lu family.

"The Inner Strength Realm? I wonder if I could take it down if I sent the giant tortoise..."

Lu Pingan looked in the direction Xie Yunhai had left, pondering to himself.

After the Qi and Blood Realm comes the Inner Strength Realm.

Some time ago, the giant tortoise easily killed the Huang family patriarch, who was at the Qi and Blood Realm.

In recent days, the giant tortoise has grown to about 2.5 meters in diameter and its strength has also increased.

He just hadn't tested it, so he didn't know how it compared to a martial artist at the Inner Strength Realm.

"Four Symbols Martial Arts School!"

On the other side, Xie Yunhai's expression shifted between light and dark after he left.

If what Lu Chengyuan said is true, and Lu Ping'an has taken a master at the True Qi Realm, then the Xie family is in trouble.

"First, we need to find out the situation at the Four Symbols Martial Arts School. If it really is a True Qi Realm expert, then we'll have to find someone else!"
