24: Chapter 24 Other Teams, Lu Brothers

Upon hearing these words, the atmosphere fell silent.

Li Tan's expression stiffened as he immediately realized something was wrong.

"I was just focused on running for my life, so I didn't pay much attention, I just..."

If that team had followed him, wouldn't he have led the enemy straight to his teammates? What kind of captain would that make him?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Li Tan's forehead, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

"It was my oversight, I'm sorry!"

Li Tan had always been the most cautious person in the team, and he thought of himself that way too, but now he had made a mistake he shouldn't have!

Because he had seen Chen Xing's astonishing performance yesterday, that strength could be said to be the best in the team.

With such a powerhouse around, Li Tan had subconsciously felt that he was safe and could act a bit more boldly, as long as they didn't run into the Divine Sea Realm.

But as a result, the first time he acted boldly, he ran into trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Tan wanted to slap himself.

"It's fine. Five against ten doesn't necessarily mean we'll lose. We even killed a Divine Sea Realm, let alone these people who are only in the Light Opening Realm?" Lu Wu spoke up.

"I smell a different scent, not like a beast... someone should be coming!" Zhou Chen said, poking his head out from the cave entrance.

"Take cover!" Li Tan pulled out his long blade and gestured for Xia Qinger to hide behind him.

Everyone was ready and waiting, hiding together inside the cave.

Not far away, people were gradually approaching this place.

It was worth mentioning that there was a blue-haired youth in the team who, in this dangerous rainforest, actually had his arms around two female team members.

This scene was dumbfounding; even Chen Xing was stunned for a moment.

"Lu Xuan? Why is it him?" Lu Wu's gaze turned cold.

"It really seems to be him!" Xia Qinger covered her mouth.

"You know him?" Chen Xing turned his head and found that this so-called Lu Xuan actually looked very similar to Lu Wu.

"Yes, they are biological brothers," Xia Qinger whispered.

"Biological brothers? What the heck, so it's a Family matter. Phew, I was nervous for nothing," Zhou Chen said.

"Don't move!" Lu Wu's eyes were sharp as he issued a warning.

"This guy's playboy nature is just on the surface. Secretly, he is ruthless and cruel. I don't know how many people have died at his hands. If you go out like this, I really won't be able to save you."

Zhou Chen's expression stiffened. "No, I say, Brother Lu, is the relationship between you two brothers bad to this extent?"

Lu Wu's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at him and said, "In families like ours, it has always been this way. It's not the atmosphere of brotherly love and respect that you commoners have."

Li Tan's mouth twitched. "Do you think all of us commoners have brotherly love and respect?"

"Oh? So you have a story too?" Lu Wu was surprised.

"Uh... that's a bit complicated, I don't know how to tell you, but I do have a twin brother named Li Xi," Li Tan said with a chuckle.

"The two of us are illegitimate children, so my father said our birth was a complete accident. But he had no choice and could only sigh, so he just gave us these names randomly."

"This..."

"Those inside, what are you still hiding for?"

Just then, a cold voice reached the cave, interrupting their conversation.

Lu Xuan's cultivation was also at the eighth stage, but his status was very high. He stood at the core of the team and walked forward arrogantly.

"How about this, you come out, and I'll have a fair duel with you. If you lose, I'll let you go. How about it?" He spread his hands, speaking with a wild tone.

"Young Master Lu, there's more than one person's aura inside." At this time, a team member responsible for scouting stepped forward and whispered.

"How many?" Lu Xuan asked.

"It seems to be... four."

"What's there to fear with only four? Are ten of you afraid of four people?"

"..."

Lu Xuan waved his hand and stepped forward with a stern face. "If you don't come out, I'll blow up the cave. I'll only give you three seconds."

After saying that, he pulled out a Red Crystal. This was a specially made weapon that, when injected with spiritual power, could detonate the flames stored inside.

The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth curled up, his eyes filled with playfulness.

He didn't even count down; he just threw it over.

Bang!

The next moment, a beam of fire flew out, intercepting the Red Crystal in mid-air and causing it to explode.

"This power... why is it so familiar?" Lu Xuan's eyes turned cold, feeling a faint sense of unease.

"Show yourselves!" From the team, two D-rank Ability Users at the ninth stage of the Light Opening Realm stepped forward.

The people inside the cave knew that things had come to this point and hiding was useless, so they simply walked out.

Lu Wu gripped his long blade tightly, with Xia Qinger following behind him, as he stood before the group.

"Whoa, Young Master Lu?" Someone was dazed.

"What Young Master Lu? Young Master Lu is over here!" The ninth-stage Ability User next to him kicked him.

"So it's you, you waste!" At this moment, killing intent erupted in Lu Xuan's eyes.

Lu Wu's gaze was icy as he said, "You're not inheriting the Family business; what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan sneered. "My dear brother, aren't you the Family heir?"

"You still have the face to mention that?" Lu Wu said in a cold voice.

"Hmph... so you do know. But I didn't expect you to run all the way here. It really surprises me!" The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth curled up in pure joy.

"Prepare for battle," Lu Wu whispered.

"Xiao Xia, don't get too far from me." Li Tan pulled out his Thunder Blade.

"Okay!" Xia Qinger nodded and immediately walked out of the cave, hiding by his side.

"Qin... Qinger?"

Seeing that beautiful figure, Lu Xuan was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Qinger, why are you here too?" Facing Xia Qinger, he immediately changed his expression, his tone full of tenderness, which made the two girls behind him glare.

"What does it have to do with you?" Xia Qinger's tone was indifferent, and her tightly gripped staff shimmered with a faint light, ready for the battle that could break out at any moment.

This indifferent attitude made Lu Xuan's heart sink, as if he had been stabbed hard, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

He looked at Lu Wu, his anger mixed with hatred.

He liked Xia Qinger, but Xia Qinger liked this brother whom he looked down upon. This was something he couldn't understand and was one of the sources of his hatred.

"We are outnumbered. If things don't look right later, Captain Li, take Qinger and escape first," Lu Wu whispered.

"Then what about you?" Li Tan asked.

"Don't worry about me. I know this guy; I have my own way to get away!" Lu Wu said solemnly.

On the other side, Lu Xuan's face was gloomy to the extreme.

"Young Master Lu, aren't we going to do anything?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Do your sister! Get lost!" Lu Xuan was in the middle of a fit of rage, and now that someone had come right up to his face, his pent-up resentment exploded directly.

He stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Lu Wu, if you're a man, step out!"

Lu Wu narrowed his eyes slightly. "I don't have time to play house with you. Go back and tell Father that I don't want the position of heir anymore; I'll just give it to you."

Lu Xuan sneered. "Like I care? Even if you insisted on fighting for this position, so what? What right does a waste like you have to compete with me?"

"Step out, and we'll have a fair fight. Whoever wins gets Qinger!"
