420: I am your cousin

The two collided, and the massive Qi wave overturned all the corpses on the ground before both attacks vanished.

Luo Yang stared intently at Mu Ruxue, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Mu Ruxue, you are merely an Eight-Star Martial Emperor, yet you possess such powerful strength!"

Mu Ruxue snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Is it strange? Luo Yang, in front of me, you are nothing but a clown."

Luo Yang's face darkened.

As an Inner Sect Disciple of Luoshen Palace, he had always been pampered and respected, yet now he was being looked down upon by a young girl.

This was truly infuriating!

He had originally intended to reconcile with Mu Ruxue, but now it seemed he could only use that move!

Luo Yang said in a deep voice, "Mu Ruxue, you don't actually think you can contend with me, do you? The foundation of our Luoshen Palace is not something a small Lingyun Sect can compare to!"

Mu Ruxue said indifferently, "Too much nonsense."

"Word Spirit, Curse Annihilation!"

A black wave of light flew out from Mu Ruxue's body and struck Luo Yang.

Luo Yang immediately felt a sense of weakness, and his attributes dropped drastically.

His heart immediately sank in shock.

"You actually still have a hidden card! I had only heard that the Word Spirit Power had infinite uses, but only by truly fighting you now do I feel the terror of this power."

Mu Ruxue said indifferently, "Thank you for the compliment. Now you can die!"

Having said that, Mu Ruxue activated "Crimson Sun" again.

This time, the thousands of fireballs did not undergo Fusion but rushed toward Luo Yang all at once.

Luo Yang's expression was solemn, and he immediately used another Martial Skill.

A large white bell appeared in the sky, then violently smashed down, shielding him inside the bell.

This Martial Skill was also of the earth rank high grade and was given to him by a relative.

It is widely known that attacking consumes more Qi than defending.

After being affected by "Curse Annihilation," he felt terrible, not daring to clash directly with Mu Ruxue again, and instead chose to defend.

The red fireballs bombarded the large white bell, creating a tremendous roar, and the firelight obscured Mu Ruxue's vision.

A moment later, all the fireballs exploded, and Mu Ruxue waved her sleeve; her Qi blew the firelight away, revealing Luo Yang's true appearance.

At this moment, Luo Yang was utterly wretched.

He was already exhausted and lying on the ground, most of his clothes torn, and the exposed skin was scorched black.

Luo Yang coughed up a mouthful of blood and said weakly, "I'm sorry, Mu Ruxue, I was wrong. I shouldn't have coveted Li Xiu's benefits and attacked the Mu Family. As long as you are willing to spare my life, I will do anything!"

Mu Ruxue snorted coldly.

"It's too late to beg now. I told you, even if you beg, I won't let you off!"

Having said that, Mu Ruxue activated "Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit," raising her Realm to Two-Star Martial Ancestor, then drew her bow and nocked an arrow, using the String Twisting Archery Technique to shoot an arrow toward Luo Yang.

A fierce look appeared on Luo Yang's face. He touched the Storage Ring on his finger and immediately threw a spirit talisman toward Mu Ruxue.

The spirit talisman was triggered, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, easily shattering Mu Ruxue's feathered arrow before striking toward her.

"An eighth-grade spirit talisman!"

Mu Ruxue was greatly shocked and hurriedly flew backward.

Just then, Lu Xingchen, who had been watching from the side, made his move.

He extended his right hand and slammed it down; a massive Dou Qi Hand Seal descended from the sky, striking the purple lightning and easily shattering it.

The residual shockwave from the Dou Qi Hand Seal hitting the ground directly sent Luo Yang flying, causing him to spit out another mouthful of fresh blood.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Lu Xingchen withdrew his palm and chuckled, "It's a small matter!"

Holy moly, this feeling of showing off is great.

Before, he had either fought old monsters or Prodigies of the same Realm, rarely bullying juniors.

This feeling of casually dissolving an enemy with a single palm, like a breeze sweeping past without a single leaf clinging to the body, was truly too comfortable!

Hearing this, Luo Yang, who was lying on the ground, was greatly shocked.

He had originally thought Lu Xingchen was merely Mu Ruxue's attendant and had ignored him, yet he never expected this mysterious person, who seemed to be slacking off, was actually Mu Ruxue's teacher.

To be able to destroy an eighth-grade spirit talisman with a casual palm strike, this person's strength must be terrifying, at least a high-star Martial Venerable.

No wonder Mu Ruxue could improve so quickly—it turned out she had taken a good master!

Having failed his sneak attack, Luo Yang was initially disheartened, but knowing that the man beneath the cloak was Mu Ruxue's teacher, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart instead.

Mu Ruxue held a deep grudge against him and might disregard Luoshen Palace's foundation to forcefully seek revenge.

But this mysterious expert must be a high-ranking member of the Lingyun Sect, and he would consider more factors.

If he brought up his cousin, it might make the expert hesitate to act.

Luo Yang forcefully endured the pain on his body and shouted loudly, "Senior, please spare my life! My cousin is Luo Chen, the Saint of Luoshen Palace, and the head of the nine prodigies of the central continent. Surely you have heard of him. Could you spare my life for my cousin's sake?"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue was startled.

She looked at Lu Xingchen with some hesitation.

"Teacher, should we continue? I have heard of Luoshen Palace; their foundation is much stronger than our Lingyun Sect's, and that Luo Chen is the head of the nine prodigies of the central continent. Is it really worth offending Luo Chen for a mere girl like me?"

Hearing Mu Ruxue's words, Luo Yang was ecstatic.

Even Mu Ruxue, the main aggrieved party, had compromised. Her teacher, being a high-ranking member of the Lingyun Sect, certainly wouldn't continue to make trouble for him.

As long as he survived today, he would definitely complain to his cousin later and ask him to take action to kill both Mu Ruxue and her teacher!

Lu Xingchen's voice was flat, carrying no emotion.

"A mere Luo Chen, I don't put him in my eyes. Xue'er, kill him if you wish; I will bear the ensuing Karma for you! As long as I am here, no one from Luoshen Palace can touch a single hair on your head."

Hearing this, Luo Yang was greatly shocked.

"Old thing, are you crazy? I am Luo Chen's cousin, and that eighth-grade spirit talisman was also bestowed upon me by him. I also carry his Soul Imprint on me! If I die here, Cousin Luo Chen will definitely wipe out the Lingyun Sect!"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Wipe out? What boastful words are you speaking? Luo Chen cannot represent the entire Luoshen Palace. No matter how strong he is, he has ultimately not achieved a Breakthrough into the Saint Realm!"

Having said that, Lu Xingchen took out the shadow sword from his Storage Ring and handed it to Mu Ruxue.

"Xue'er, it's up to you. If you don't dare to act, I will personally slaughter this brat; he truly talks too much nonsense."

Mu Ruxue shook her head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Since Teacher has said this much, if I still don't act, it would make me seem too timid. Let me do it!"

Having said that, she took the shadow sword, drew the sharp blade, and walked step by step toward Luo Yang.

Luo Yang's face was full of horror. He crawled backward step by step, muttering, "No, don't kill me! I am Luo Chen's cousin! I am Luo Chen's cousin!"
