Chapter 420 Confrontation
Jiang Yuanfeng withdrew his gaze from the sky and glanced inadvertently. In the distance, four long, dim red flames appeared at the mountain gate around Xuanyuan Temple. They were like four winding snakes, circling halfway up the mountain and surrounding Xuanyuan Temple in the middle.
Before he could change color, a beautiful goose yellow figure appeared outside the Lingxing Gate not far away, walking slowly and gracefully towards him.
The long hem of Lu Xuan's skirt brushed against the cold dew, wetting her exquisitely embroidered dress. The butterfly hairpins of gold beads and yellow gems, and the phoenix feather hairpins inlaid with kingfisher feathers, swayed slightly in the breeze. As she ascended the steps, her ethereal face, with its unique beauty, slowly emerged.
The shadow beside Ziwei Terrace saw Lu Xuan and Sang Luo coming up, and drew his sword to stop them, but just as his hand touched the hilt of the sword, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and he began to itch uncontrollably all over, and then he actually jumped step by step and ran towards the mountain gate outside the temple.
"No, no, I, I won't leave, sir..."
Shadow knew that he was under a mysterious spell, but his mind was still clear.
As expected of a martial arts master, even after being hit by Lu Xuan's spell, when he was about to leave Jiang Yuanfeng and head for the mountain gate, he still used his mind to control his legs and kept looking back at the platform where Jiang Yuanfeng was standing.
However, he looked back many times, but his master had no time to pay attention to him. He just stared at Lu Xuan with his eyes, and suddenly touched his chin and laughed out loud.
"I've fallen into a trap. What a great plan, young master..."
He cast a heavy gaze upon her and said, "It's our first meeting. May I ask what you may have to say?"
"I don't deserve your guidance." Lu Xuan chuckled softly, his hands behind his back, eyes lowered. "Master Jiang has gone to great lengths to kill so many of the sect's disciples. I'm sure it was all for his irreplaceable position in Daliang today, right?"
"You went to great lengths?" He shook his head, his smile cold. "Jiang was only trying to protect himself. My plan wasn't perfect, and I wasn't ruthless. Otherwise, how could the young master stand before me today?"
She nodded, but a cold laugh escaped her lips. Lu Xuan said, "You are a traitor to my Shenji Sect. You met the Sect Master, but you kept calling me "Little Sect Master." Your behavior is too frivolous. Before we settle the score, I'd better teach you some etiquette."
As the spell was chanted, Jiang Yuanfeng felt a sharp pain in his chest. He raised his eyelids and suddenly saw a flash of golden light on the back of the girl in front of him. A spiral aura burst out, swaying in the dark night wind, becoming larger and larger, and pressing towards him in an instant.
His body, which had been slightly hunched due to heartache, stood up straight when he saw Lu Xuan appear.
Seeing that slightly weak breath at this moment, he ignored it.
He chuckled sarcastically, "Forget it..."
But before he could finish his words, the golden aura suddenly felt like a heavy burden, pressing down on his shoulders. He bent his legs heavily and knelt before her.
The sarcasm on his face froze, and he looked up at him in disbelief, shocked and horrified for a moment.
He had only seen this serpentine aura once before, on the old sect master. Back then, he had used the sect master's golden seal to punish a fellow apprentice who had disobeyed the rules and refused to accept punishment, allowing the aura to track and suppress the apprentice as he fled.
But the aura of this young sect master is much weaker than that of the old sect master at that time. Why is his strength still so strong? It seems that he is not inferior to the old sect master in the slightest!
Lu Xuan noticed his dissatisfaction, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm the Sect Master after all. It's my duty to teach disobedient disciples a lesson. Twenty kowtows, let's begin!"
Jiang Yuanfeng gritted his teeth. It was humiliating enough that he had to kneel down upon arrival, but he never expected that he would have to kowtow to this stinky girl!
A strong murderous look flashed in his eyes. He was considering whether to attack her directly and let her die here, when he saw a golden aura flying out of her body and pressing down hard on his shoulder. His forehead kept hitting the ground uncontrollably.
After knocking his head twenty times, a stream of scarlet blood dripped from Jiang Yuanfeng's forehead. The blood seeped down along his chuan-shaped eyebrows, and it looked like three vertical lines were drawn at the root of his nose, like three long needles full of murderous intent.
Needle?
Lu Xuan's mind moved slightly, and he watched him stagger and then stand up from the ground.
In just a blink of an eye, he took advantage of the situation and put his hand on his chest. The next second, a long needle flew out from his arms and flew towards Lu Xuan's eyebrows.
The smile on Jiang Yuanfeng's face gradually spread, "Master, this time you have nothing to stop you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft dinging sound on the ground. Lu Xuan bent down and picked up the long needle on the ground. He smiled and said, "It seems that you have really run out of tricks. You always use this Soul-Chasing Box to deal with me. Aren't you tired of it?"
Jiang Yuanfeng didn't expect that she would break her long needle so quickly.
After a moment's surprise, he quickly accepted it. He didn't show the expected panic, but clapped his hands. "Smart, really smart. I've been trying to figure out how you dodged the needle for several times, but I didn't realize it was a talisman."
"There are many things you haven't thought of!" Lu Xuan said disdainfully.
Jiang Yuanfeng sneered, his face trembling. "You are so young, but you are so arrogant. Master, it seems you have been waiting for me for a long time. What I just said was just an appetizer. Please forgive my disrespect for what follows."
He reached into his arms and was about to take something out, but just as he touched it, he heard the person in front of him calling out urgently:
"and many more!"
"Hmm?" He paused, then glanced at her, "Is the Sect Master scared?"
Lu Xuan walked towards him, "Jiang Yuanfeng, are you sure you want to deal with this sect leader?"
The corners of her lips curled slightly. "A few days ago in the palace, you teamed up with the emperor to kill me. What was the result then? Have you forgotten so quickly?"
They lured her into the palace that day under the pretext of the Crown Prince, but they had set up a killing array. Jiang Yuanfeng attacked her with his own magic, but he didn't expect that the moment he touched her, he would be immediately attacked.
According to the sect’s rules, members are not allowed to use magic to harm the sect leader, otherwise it will be unforgivable!
His pupils trembled and his body stiffened.
How could he not know the rules?
But now, with generations of hatred and multiple lives at stake, does he have any other choice?
Lu Xuan wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. This was a game of life and death!
He laughed and shook his head. "You want to trick me into not killing you? Unfortunately, I'm not afraid. Backlash is better than death, don't you think?"
His face was full of smiles, but the smile looked so contemptuous, as if he was sure of killing her.
Lu Xuan said, "You're still seriously injured, and the backlash you suffered earlier has worsened. Why would you take such a big risk against me? I felt it the day you tried to kill me in the palace. You're trading your lifespan for your current health. Why bother?"
"I do want to kill you. This is the wish of our ancestor and also the mission of my life as the sect leader. However, I originally wanted to talk to you and see if you are willing to accept my conditions."
"I don't want to!"
He raised his eyebrows, a smile on his face showing a bit of sinisterness. "I know your conditions. You want me to tell you everything behind this, and then give up the business I've managed for fifteen years, right?"
Lu Xuan's eyes flickered and he looked at him in surprise.
"Sure enough, Lord Jiang planned it carefully. He is very smart."
She shrugged, as if letting out a sigh, "If you don't want to... then if you say so, it really will be a fight to the death."
Jiang Yuanfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze melting into the dark night. "Master, don't worry about how long I live. But in my opinion, as long as I live longer than you, that's enough!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the Free Soul-Chasing Box from his bosom. Inside the box were hundreds of long needles, which instantly formed a row in the air as he chanted an incantation.
His eerie smile spread in the night, accompanied by a curse from his mouth. In just two breaths, hundreds of soul-chasing boxes suddenly appeared in front of those long needles. As long as he gave the order, hundreds of steel needles would pierce Lu Xuan into holes in an instant.
"Master, I know you can use the immobilization spell to dispel the needle spirits of this soul-chasing box, but can you defend against over a hundred long needles?"
"Although you have found the secret of the constant mysterious method, I am afraid that your level is still not enough for these more than one hundred?"
Hearing his words, Lu Xuan's eyes dimmed.
She had indeed never tried to deal with so many attacks at the same time.
but……
She calmed down a little and was about to chant a spell to fight back, but when she looked up, a dense group of needles were already shooting towards her like arrows in the sky.
"do not want!"
