Even if no outsiders were watching, Huo Bing might not necessarily be able to endure this provocation. No matter how he maintained his composure on the surface, or how he told the infant ghost that his “Seventh Brother is a bit strange,” in his heart, he couldn’t genuinely value a cripple at the sixth level. Furthermore, someone like “Huo Shang,” who had been bullied to death since childhood, was even less likely to be taken seriously.

Otherwise, he should have said “now is different from the past,” rather than “a bit strange.” From the beginning, Huo Bing was unwilling to admit that Huo Shang might be powerful enough to threaten him.

This piece of trash, actually provoking him in the street, not caring about life or death?

Huo Bing was almost laughing with anger. “Very good, very good… I didn’t expect the trash who used to kneel at my brother’s feet begging for mercy would have such spirit one day.”

Lu Xingzhou laughed blandly. “Looks like Fourth Brother is only skilled when bullying children.”

Huo Bing’s face completely darkened. He was too lazy to waste any more words. His figure suddenly flashed, and he was already in front of Lu Xingzhou, his sword elegantly slashing towards his throat.

This time, with everyone watching, Lu Xingzhou didn’t resort to his usual routine of playing the role of the Emperor. He completely restrained all demonic cultivation methods, simply extended a finger, and flicked it.

The finger accurately flicked the side of the sword, deflecting the sword tip. Lu Xingzhou’s other hand struck out like lightning, directly aiming for Huo Bing’s lower abdomen.

Huo Bing twisted his body and stabbed at Lu Xingzhou from the side again, specifically targeting his inconvenient movements.

The onlookers were all a little surprised.

Lu Xingzhou showed his strength to be at the middle tier of the sixth level, while Huo Bing was roughly at the middle tier of the fifth level. They were exactly one level apart. On the surface, it wasn’t rare for someone one level lower to fight back and forth, but this kind of thing often only happened between famous sects and ordinary cultivators.

The techniques and methods learned by famous sects were all much better than those of ordinary people. Crossing levels to fight enemies was very normal.

But now, the Huo family was a first-level famous sect, while Lu Xingzhou was someone who had popped out from who knows where, and he had only joined the Tianxing Sword Sect a few months ago.

The result was that Huo Bing was being fought to a draw by someone at a lower level… He still wanted to bully others because they were lame and play a mobile fighting style…

Just spreading this kind of thing would almost cause the Huo family to lose all their face.

Huo Bing’s old face was red. How could he not know he was losing face? But he simply couldn’t understand why Lu Xingzhou’s strange Qi force was so strong. With just a flick of a finger, the power was like a spiral drill bit drilling inwards. His meridians were burning on one side and surging on the other, extremely strange, almost making it impossible to hold his sword steady.

If he had still been silly enough to honestly clash head-on, he might have really lost to this cripple.

As a result, under the mobile fighting style, Lu Xingzhou showed no signs of being flustered. His wheelchair automatically turned slightly, his fingers flicking left and right. No matter where the sword momentum came from, he remained unmoved, resolving it easily. His calm Qi and leisurely demeanor made the flashing Huo Bing seem very clownish, and the longer they fought, the uglier the scene became.

He was just maliciously hitting the Huo family’s face! Huo Bing suddenly realized this point, and his expression was extremely ugly.

“Why is Fourth Brother jumping left and right like a monkey?” Lu Xingzhou leisurely opened his mouth. “Sixth Brother just made me feel very useless. Is it possible that in the capital, the Huo family just fights chickens, walks horses, drinks wine, and visits brothels every day, doing nothing proper?”

Huo Bing was so angry he almost exploded. The tip of his sword suddenly erupted with dazzling light, overflowing with power, looking like a big move.

“Oh. The Huo family’s Break Heaven Sword… I suggest changing the name. We are all surnamed Huo, how about calling it Read Winter Sword? There will be an unexpected surprise.”

“Boom!” The terrifying sword energy ground against the wheelchair. Stones flew everywhere, and sand and dust filled the sky.

Amidst the sand and dust, the wheelchair remained still. Lu Xingzhou didn’t even break a sweat. At this time, with the chaotic vision, the strength of the onlookers was almost unable to see what Lu Xingzhou had just done… Pei Chuyun, who was secretly watching, saw clearly that Lu Xingzhou had simply sacrificed a mirror, slightly tilted the magical treasure, and directly led the sword energy away, brushing past him.

Pei Chuyun shook her head. How could she not know Huo Yu? Actually, Huo Bing wasn’t considered very bad. Perhaps he wasted some time in his youth leading to low cultivation, but his foundation was very solid. This kind of actual combat ability would be considered a mainstay even within the Yaonu Hehuan Sect, not a weakling.

General fifth-level cultivators couldn’t withstand this move of Read Winter… Oh no, Break Heaven Sword.

It was Lu Xingzhou himself who was terrifyingly strong. She didn’t know what was going on with his technique; the quality was high, and the reaction it fused was even stranger and very difficult to defend against. People fighting him for the first time would be particularly uncomfortable. Then, he was still a Dao cultivator, secretly releasing various magical treasures, talismans, and curses. The main reason Huo Bing was jumping left and right like a monkey was because of these hidden techniques he was hit by. It was very difficult for people who weren’t truly facing Lu Xingzhou to understand how disgusting it was.

As for actual combat experience, no matter how much Lu Xingzhou did behind the scenes, he was still from a killer organization. The soul banner had a thousand souls… How many life-and-death battles had Huo Bing fought in his lifetime?

One-on-one, Huo Bing was really not Lu Xingzhou’s opponent.

“Swish swish swish!” Huo Bing’s face turned iron-blue as he changed to another big move.

Countless sword lights shuttled across from all directions, the light flashing and changing, making it difficult to determine the virtual from the real.

“Is this all Fourth Brother can hold out for?” Lu Xingzhou almost laughed out loud. He simply did nothing, put up a light shield on the wheelchair, and there was a burst of crisp “ding ding dang dang” sounds. Amidst the smoke and dust, the wheelchair remained still.

Pei Chuyun: “…”

Can you not pretend? That broken wheelchair of yours has strong protection; even I can’t break it. This shield, once put up, can’t be used a second time for at least half an hour. Don’t make it look like you’re blocking casually, okay?

“Looks like Fourth Brother’s offense is only this much, it’s really disappointing.” Lu Xingzhou laughed blandly. “Then it’s Little Brother’s turn?”

Huo Bing had just finished two rounds of big moves, taking a slight step back to catch his breath, when he saw Lu Xingzhou reach out and rub something. Three or four talismans spread out like a deck of cards and simultaneously burned up.

Huo Bing: “…”

Talismans could still be used like this?

The next moment, a sea of thunder, fire, and ice, plus a slow technique, simultaneously erupted on Huo Bing’s body. The visual effect was extremely gorgeous, and the scene was chaotic.

Huo Bing also sacrificed a jade pendant magical treasure to block the invasion of these compound techniques, but his heart was slightly moved.

In this chaotic scene, most of the surrounding residents watching couldn’t see what was happening in the middle of the field… This was an opportunity.

An instruction was secretly passed, and a shadow soundlessly appeared from behind Lu Xingzhou, a sword wiping towards his exposed back neck above the wheelchair backrest.

Huo Bing emerged from the thunder and flames, and fiercely attacked Lu Xingzhou’s front chest with another sword.

Pei Chuyun narrowed her eyes.

Outsiders didn’t know that a hidden shadow was following Huo Bing. Pei Chuyun was a little surprised. Perhaps this chaos was even intentionally created by Lu Xingzhou, just to force out the shadow?

Just as the shadow appeared, A Nuo, who had been squatting in the corner of the wall eating melons and watching, also moved simultaneously, swift as a ghost.

Before the shadow’s sword reached Lu Xingzhou’s back neck, A Nuo’s fist was faster, already slamming into his back heart.

And at the same time, Lu Xingzhou also changed his strategy. He no longer flicked his finger to deflect the sword attack, but suddenly gathered his fist strength and fiercely struck out.

A red and blue light flashed across the fist. Pei Chuyun knew this was a big move that could even shatter the infant ghost’s fourth-level magical treasure!

Taiji Heaven Gang!

“Boom!” The sword energy and fist strength violently rushed together, stirring up a shocking explosion.

In the center of the explosion, Lu Xingzhou soundlessly kicked out a foot.

Huo Bing: “???”

“Bang!”

“Ah!!!” Huo Bing let out a shocking scream, accompanied by the sound of something shattering.

Pei Chuyun felt a phantom pain, her pretty face even twitching a little. Huo Bing could have even run away if he hadn’t hit himself, but with this kick, he probably didn’t need to run anymore…

But her actions couldn’t stop. Just as Lu Xingzhou used his Scorched Yin Leg, a fragrant wind was already at his side face, a jade hand extending from the chaotic visual effect, pointing at his shoulder well acupoint.

Both sides had exhausted their trump cards. This was Pei Chuyun’s best opportunity for a sneak attack. If she missed this one, she didn’t need to consider it anymore.

“You still came…” Lu Xingzhou’s voice was somewhat desolate, like a sigh.

The wheelchair automatically shifted a foot to the side in a split second, causing Pei Chuyun’s grab to miss. Ying Shuang, who had been lurking for a long time, already flew a sword towards her side neck.

Ying Shuang had been squatting there for a whole day… The Judge official had instructed her not to move no matter the war situation, only to wait for Pei Chuyun to make a move. She had waited until she was numb, but it finally came…

Pei Chuyun saw the black-clothed person who had found Lu Xingzhou in the inn and had also prepared a share for him early on. She used her slender hand to pat away Ying Shuang’s attack, and with a flick of her right hand, the evil infant howled and rushed towards Lu Xingzhou.

But just as Lu Xingzhou’s wheelchair shifted to the side, he burned another talisman.

Hurricane talisman.

A fierce wind swept over, clearing away all the sand, stones, residual fire, and Qi strength afterwaves from the scene. Countless watching residents didn’t see Lu Xingzhou’s Scorched Yin Leg, but they clearly saw Lu Xingzhou punch back Huo Bing, and then be attacked and invaded by a female demon cultivator full of charming techniques and demonic skills and an evil infant.

This meant…

Huo Bing was with the demon cultivators?

No wonder he came to take office as county commissioner, no wonder Jing Ge would deal with him! He was indeed the same as the former county commissioner, colluding with demon cultivators!

But how would Lu Xingzhou deal with the evil infant he was facing head-on!

Although the evil infant was controlled by Pei Chuyun, it hadn’t lost all its memory, and the deep hatred towards Lu Xingzhou was even less concealed. “Lu Xingzhou! You die for me!”

“Pa!” A third-level ghost-driving talisman was stuck to Lu Xingzhou’s own face.

The evil infant’s words weren’t even finished when it suddenly let out a fierce howl and turned its head, wanting to retreat. The evil infant after self-detonation was not a demon cultivator, but a soul entity!

And at the same time, Meng Guan, who was watching, couldn’t bear it any longer.

He simply couldn’t make a move to deal with Huo Bing, nor would he sit and watch the infant ghost continue to escape. If the main culprit escaped, all his merit in breaking the Hongfa Temple would be meaningless!

Buddha light descended from the sky, and County Guard Meng Guan personally made a move again, striking towards the evil infant.

Pei Chuyun repelled Ying Shuang and patted Lu Xingzhou’s shoulder well with her slender hand again. Lu Xingzhou had done too many things, and at this time, he really couldn’t avoid this strike. He could only reach out and counter with a palm in a hurry.

Abundant Qi strength surged in. Lu Xingzhou’s internal Yin Yang mill ran frantically, eliminating the Qi strength, but eventually couldn’t eliminate it all. A trace of blood still overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, Ying Shuang’s sword and A Nuo’s fist simultaneously struck towards Pei Chuyun.

Pei Chuyun took a deep breath. The moment Meng Guan reappeared, she knew the matter was not going to work. With one strike failing to take down Lu Xingzhou, she swiftly opened up Ying Shuang and A Nuo’s pincer attack with lightning speed and immediately started using her instantaneous movement magical treasure to escape.

A Nuo took out a piece of cake.

The magnetic field turbulent flow shook, and Pei Chuyun’s whole body moved slightly, but she fundamentally couldn’t transmit away.

Just this one misjudgment, Lu Xingzhou’s right hand was already brushing against her chest, controlling a key point. “The matter is not over… I worked hard all day, indeed for tonight. We should continue the fate, Miss A Ruo.”
