Long Aotian looked at Lu Ren's overwhelmed performance and spoke at the right time:
"It must be very hard for you to be alone at the Sun Moon Empire, right?"
"Don't worry, we'll take you home now."
The people of the Body Sect are united as never before, because in the early days Body Martial Soul was severely discriminated against and even looked down upon.
Now we have Body Sect, and there is a good atmosphere within the sect. Although everyone comes from all over the world, we are still as close as one family.
"I understand." Lu Ren took a deep breath, brought his thoughts back from the sky, and fell back on Long Aotian in front of him.
He raised his eyes and said calmly:
"It's just that my current situation is a bit special. It may take some time before I can leave with you. Can you make the decision in this matter?"
Long Aotian was silent for a moment.
He is obviously not very good at dealing with such matters that require negotiation.
The sect leader explained that he was here to invite people and bring people back to the sect, not to make decisions.
In addition, his gut was only able to handle two answers, "Yes" or "no", and Lu Ren gave an intermediate state of "not now but yes later", which made his thinking stagnant for several seconds.
"I will report your situation to the sect master." In the end, Long Aotian gave a satisfactory answer with a straightforward tone, "As for what Body Sect will do, it is none of my business."
He paused, and his eyes suddenly lit up with a completely different light than before.
The light was blazing and pure, even unabashed, like a sword fanatic seeing a peerless sword, like a foodie smelling the aroma of meat...
Long Aotian looked at Lu Ren and said bluntly:
"It's just... before that, I want to have a fight with you."
The moment the voice fell, Ji Juechen had already moved, Silver-White Long Sword unsheathed it loudly, and the sword edge drew a cold arc.
Six Soul Rings rose simultaneously from the feet, and within three feet of the body, the light gray Sword Intent Domains unfolded silently.
He took a step across to block Lu Ren, pointing the tip of his sword at Long Aotian, his eyes filled with ignited fighting spirit.
This fighting spirit was not because Long Aotian provoked Lu Ren, but because he smelled the same kind of scent in Long Aotian.
This is an opponent who also pursues ultimate combat skills, and is the prey he has been waiting for!
Long Aotian glanced at him, his eyes stayed on Ji Juechen for a moment, and then he looked away.
"You have good strength. Under normal circumstances, I will definitely challenge you. Unfortunately, what I am looking for today is Lu Ren."
He raised his hand and pointed towards Lu Ren:
"Take care of your little brother, I don't want others to interfere in our fight."
Lu Ren's face suddenly darkened.
He has always been casual, and ever since he traveled to the Douluo Continent, the lazy smile on his face has almost become his signature.
But at this moment, those eyes were extremely cold, and the smile at the corner of his mouth completely disappeared, replaced by a sharp aura that made Long Aotian's brows slightly raised.
He took a step forward, brushed Ji Juechen's sword with his shoulder, and blocked Ji Juechen behind him.
"He is not my little brother." Lu Ren said each word in a low voice, but the words were as clear as if they were carved on a stone slab with a knife. "He is my friend. If you disrespect him, you disrespect me."
He paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone suddenly turned cold:
"Believe me, I will beat you to death for what you said."
Based on Long Aotian's words "take care of your little brother", Lu Ren no longer intends to let him walk out of this alley standing.
Long Aotian didn't refute, or even showed any offended expression. He just looked at Lu Ren quietly, the cold scrutiny in his eyes quietly melting away, replaced by an unabashed appreciation.
"I like your personality."
"A person who is good to his friends will not be any worse himself."
He took a step back and widened the distance between him and Lu Ren. Five Soul Ring instantly rose up from his feet.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black.
Five Soul Ring slowly rotated around him. At the same time, a surging momentum suddenly spread from his body. The boundary between the physical body and the spirit became blurred on him. The two merged together in a rough but extremely aggressive way, forming a sense of oppression that made the surrounding air tremble.
Long Aotian looked at Lu Ren with hot eyes:
"Lu Ren, what type of woman do you like?"
The expressions of Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi changed at the same time.
So strong.
Although he was only Soul King, and Ji Juechen was a level higher than him in terms of cultivation, in Long Aotian, both of them noticed an aura that was very similar to Lu Ren.
That is the realm where Soul Power and Spiritual Power merge.
Although it is just the first time to enter the threshold, the integration is not as natural as Lu Ren, but the underlying logic is the same, both of which combine the two completely different forces of Soul Power and Spiritual Power to break through the upper limit of a single power system.
Ji Juechen knows the answer. He has personally seen the perfect fusion of Soul Power and Spiritual Power on Lu Ren. That kind of state where yin and yang complement each other without distinction has made him toss and turn countless nights.
And now, the man named Long Aotian in front of him has actually touched this threshold.
Although it is only a prototype, compared with Lu Ren, there is a gap between the earth and the sky, but this talent is enough to make the fighting spirit in Ji Juechen burst out like a volcano.
Ji Juechen My hands are itchy...
In his eyes, Long Aotian is like a dessert... waiting for him to taste it slowly.
Therefore, Ji Juechen's fingertips gently rubbed Sword hilt, and Silver-White Long Sword in the scabbard seemed to sense the master's thoughts and emit a subtle hum.
He wants to fight Long Aotian.
No, I think about it now!
This desire for the strong and his paranoia for combat skills are his innate instincts, and they are a pleasure that cannot be replaced by anything except practicing swordsmanship.
Just when he was about to speak, the voice of Lu Ren sounded directly in his mind in the form of Soul Power:
"Lao Ji, take Ye Guyi away and hide her back to the stronghold first. Then you quickly return to the academy and tell the Mirror Hall Master that I am in danger."
Ji Juechen was stunned.
Danger?
It's just Long Aotian. Do you need to bring in reinforcements?
How strong can a high-level Soul King be?
Lu Ren can crush even Soul Saint, and can even ignore the mental pressure of Titled Douluo. A mere Five-Ring Soul King, no matter how talented he is, will not let him say the word "danger".
"It's just him, isn't it?"
Ji Juechen also sent the message back.
"He is not scary, what is scary is what is about to happen."
Lu Ren's tone was more solemn than ever.
At this time, his Spiritual Power had already detected a place.
Far in the sky, two auras strong enough to be Heaven-Destroying Earth-Shattering were confronting each other.
Those two people were obviously still in the testing stage, and neither of them had released a real killing move. Just the aftermath of the aura that was accidentally leaked made Lu Ren feel terrified.
According to his judgment, one of them must be Du Busi, and the other one who can compete with him must be someone sent by Shrek.
Shrek Who is coming and how high his specific cultivation level is? Lu Ren cannot be sure, but at least he is someone who can confront Du Busi head-on. There is an 80% chance that it will be Xuan Zi...
As for the remaining probability, it is Mu En coming in person!
Du Busi was dragged away by Shrek's people, and Long Aotian came to take him away.
This means that if he continues to stay here, what comes to his door later may not be one Long Aotian, but a melee between two Level 98 Super Douluo.
What is it like to be sandwiched between two Level 98 Super Douluo?
Lu Ren doesn't want to experience it personally at all.
