"Eldest Brother!"
The moment the Black Dragon Sect disciples saw their Eldest Brother, delight flashed in every pair of eyes.
"You're Lu Yuxiu?" Chang Fen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning as he looked at the man.
"That's right." Lu Yuxiu replied in a low voice.
"Rumor has it that the Black Dragon Sect Master's Eldest disciple, Lu Yuxiu, began cultivating at three, entered Foundation Establishment at six, opened his cave abode at seven, and reached Dragon Gate at thirteen. Before he was even thirty, he had cultivated the Black Dragon Sect's supreme technique, the Black Dragon Art, to mastery. At thirty, he reached Nascent Soul Realm Perfection."
Chang Fen recited Lu Yuxiu's history as if to himself.
"Your reputation is quite something."
"Just an empty name." Lu Yuxiu replied coolly. "But it should be enough to kill you."
"Really?" Chang Fen tilted his head. "Then let's find out."
The instant Chang Fen finished speaking, Lu Yuxiu vanished from where he stood.
By the time Lu Yuxiu appeared before Chang Fen, the longsword in his hand was already slashing toward Chang Fen's throat.
Chang Fen stepped back, barely dodging the strike.
Boom!
Fire Jade Phoenix seized the opening and spat a torrent of flames at Lu Yuxiu.
Lu Yuxiu's expression tightened. As he sidestepped the blaze, he turned his blade and sent a black Dragon-shaped Sword Qi roaring straight toward Fire Jade Phoenix!
Seeing this, Chang Fen thrust out his spear. Crimson Spiritual Energy gathered at its tip, and he cleaved the dragon Qi in two by sheer force.
The two separated after that brief exchange, then collided again like twin shooting stars.
The clash of sword and spear rang out without pause, Spiritual Energy surging and whipping up gale after gale.
Thirty exchanges
