FVN Chapter 39: All trump cards revealed, blood spurted in public.
Chapter 39: All trump cards revealed, blood spurted in public.
At the entrance to Black Stone Mountain, the air seemed to freeze.
Xu Cheng'an held a folding fan in his hand, with red and blue spiritual light intertwining and flowing, and his pressure rose layer by layer, even the surrounding ground stones were shaken slightly.
The expressions of the onlookers all changed.
Even from dozens of feet away, one could feel that sharp aura.
"What kind of tactic is this?"
"Can magical artifacts increase in power even further?"
"The powerful families of the county seat truly have a profound history..."
The Wang family was greatly encouraged.
Xu Chengan has finally gotten serious.
A chill flashed in Wang Tonghai's eyes.
Li Xuan's ability to push things to this point is already considered extraordinary.
But this is the end for this monster.
⸻
Zhou Yue frowned slightly and said in a low voice:
"Cheng'an, that's enough!"
Xu Chengan acted as if he hadn't heard, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.
As a direct descendant of the Xu family, he should have dominated the entire scene when he arrived in Qingyun County.
As a result, he was first publicly rebuked by Li Xuan at the tea party, and now he has suffered repeated losses in the battle of wits.
If he doesn't thoroughly defeat Li Xuan, he won't be able to hold his head up high when he returns to the county town.
"Li Xuan!"
"You forced me to do this!"
boom!
The folding fan suddenly unfolded, and a burst of crimson and blue light erupted.
A fierce wind, carrying intense heat, swept around, forming a whirlwind about ten feet long, which howled and crushed towards Li Xuan.
Wherever it went, vegetation was broken and sand and stones flew everywhere.
⸻
Li Yuanshan's face turned pale when he saw this.
"How...how do we fight this?"
Li Yuanlie's eyes shone even brighter.
"interesting."
"It's finally starting to look decent."
Sweat beaded on Zhao Yuancheng's forehead.
This attack far surpassed the ordinary techniques of a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator.
If Li Xuanruo cannot catch it, he will be seriously injured at best, and crippled on the spot at worst.
⸻
Li Xuan stood still, his robes fluttering in the strong wind.
There was not a trace of panic in his eyes.
Xu Chengan's move seemed impressive, but the more he forced out his trump card, the bigger the flaws became.
The Qi is restless and agitated.
The spiritual energy is unstable.
My mind is even more confused.
This tactic wins by momentum, but loses by stability.
⸻
He took a deep breath, and the "Green Wood Nourishing Essence Technique" circulated wildly within his body.
The spiritual energy in his dantian surged forth, and a burning sensation came through his meridians.
His Qi Refining Level 4 cultivation was pushed to its limit.
The next instant, Li Xuan stomped his foot.
Instead of retreating, they're advancing!
He charged out fiercely, facing the swirling wind and fire!
⸻
"Are you crazy?!"
The onlookers fell silent.
Faced with this type of area-of-effect spell, the best course of action is to dodge, delay, and wear down the opponent.
Li Xuan, however, chose to charge headlong into the fray once again.
Xu Chengan was overjoyed upon seeing this.
"court death!"
He made a hand seal, and the whirlwind increased by another three points before pressing down hard.
However, just as Li Xuan was about to crash into the center of the fire—
He suddenly turned around.
He cut in close to the edge of the whirlwind, using the wind as cover, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xu Chengan's expression changed drastically.
"not good!"
⸻
next moment.
A white figure suddenly appeared from the side!
Li Xuan actually used the wind to get around to his side!
too fast!
Xu Chengan hastily raised his fan to block.
clang!
Li Xuan slammed his fist into the fan ribs, causing Xu Cheng'an's hand to go numb and forcing him to stagger back several steps.
Before he could even regain his footing, Li Xuan's second punch arrived.
boom!
The punch landed squarely on his chest.
Xu Cheng'an groaned, his blood surging, and a sweet taste rose in his throat.
He forced himself not to vomit, but his eyes were filled with horror.
Once Li Xuan got close, the oppressive feeling was even more intense than any magic!
⸻
"retreat!"
Xu Chengan forcibly withdrew, trying to create distance.
But Li Xuan didn't give him a chance at all.
Footsteps followed one after another, like a shadow.
The third punch!
The fourth punch!
The fifth punch!
His punches were simple yet ruthless, accurate, and steady, each strike hitting Xu Chengan in his most vulnerable spots.
Shoulders, ribs, abdomen, wrists.
Xu Cheng'an was forced to retreat step by step, his once elegant and neat brocade robes now disheveled.
The onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
This is hardly a battle of wits.
This is clearly a one-sided attack!
⸻
Li Yuanlie was so excited that he slapped his thigh.
"Cool!"
"Just go for it!"
Li Yuanshan's voice trembled with excitement.
"Young clan leader... are they really going to win?"
Zhao Yuancheng murmured:
"It's not about winning..."
"The goal is to break Xu Cheng'an's spirit."
⸻
Xu Chengan was finally enraged.
"Get out of here!"
He suddenly activated the folding fan, unleashing a burst of spiritual light at close range, attempting to repel Li Xuan.
But in that instant, Li Xuan's eyes turned cold.
We've been waiting for this moment.
Aoki's finger!
call out!
A concentrated burst of finger energy was instantly unleashed, precisely striking the point where the spiritual light of the folding fan converged.
Snapped!
The runes on the fan suddenly went dark.
The flow of spiritual energy was forcibly interrupted.
The mid-grade magic weapon went out of control for a split second at the critical moment!
Xu Chengan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"How is that possible?!"
⸻
Li Xuan seized this fleeting opportunity, stepped into the central palace, and launched a simultaneous attack with his shoulder and elbow.
Bajishan collided with the mountain!
boom! ! !
A dull, loud bang exploded.
Xu Cheng'an was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and leaving a trail several feet long.
next moment--
puff!
A mouthful of blood finally spurted out.
The entire room fell silent.
A direct descendant of the Xu family in the county town coughed up blood in public!
⸻
Wang Tonghai's face instantly turned ashen.
Several elders of the Wang family were as if they had lost their parents.
Zhou Yue suddenly stood up, his eyes revealing genuine shock for the first time.
Xu Chengan lost?
No.
To be more precise—
It was breached.
⸻
Xu Chengan supported himself on the ground, his mouth full of blood, his hair disheveled, and his eyes glazed over.
He couldn't accept it.
He was actually beaten to such a state by a mere fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator from a county town.
"I...I can't lose..."
Li Xuan slowly walked up to him and looked down at him.
His tone was calm.
"From the county seat, this is it?"
Those six words, though brief, were like a final slap in the face.
Xu Cheng'an's face turned red, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, nearly fainting.
⸻
The crowd of onlookers finally erupted.
"We won!"
"Young Master Li has won!"
"The number one young person in Qingyun County!"
"The Xu family is nothing special!"
Cheers surged like a tidal wave over the mountain gate.
All the pent-up frustration from being suppressed by the people of the county town these past few days was finally released at this moment.
⸻
The system panel in my mind suddenly flashed.
[Crush the pride of the arrogant princes of the county town]
[Family reputation skyrockets]
[Family Luck +31]
[Current Luck: 442]
[Mission Progress: Defeat Xu Cheng'an (Completed)]
[Reward Distribution: Breakthrough Opportunity (Small)]
[Rewards Distribution: Family Talent Attraction Program Launched]
Li Xuan's eyes brightened slightly.
Winning against Xu Chengan is only a superficial gain.
The real harvest has arrived.
⸻
Zhou Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and stepped forward to help Xu Cheng'an up.
He looked at Li Xuan and, for the first time, respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.
"Young Clan Chief Li."
"The Xu family will remember today's battle."
Li Xuan returned the greeting calmly.
Take care.
In short, it's all calm and collected.
But it made everyone understand—
From this day forward, the Li family is no longer a minor clan in Qingyun County.
Rather, they are rising stars that even the powerful forces of the prefecture cannot underestimate.
The mountain wind blows, and the flags flutter in the wind.
Li Xuan stood in front of the mountain gate, and the crowd cheered enthusiastically.
The Wang family's last reliance has collapsed.
