Stand Still, I'll Show You

Swish, swish.

Without hesitation, the two turned and ran off into the distance.

Just as they expected, Chen Mingxuan completely ignored them at this moment.

In fact, the earlier frowning and scanning wasn't because of the two of them.

At this moment, Chen Mingxuan's attention was entirely focused on the person who had spoken.

Brush.

At that moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in the area swept by that thought.

Chen Mingxuan's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at the figure, then he seemed somewhat surprised.

It's you.

This figure was none other than Liu Zhong, who had suddenly appeared outside the Liu Clan earlier and shot out a white line.

He witnessed Liu Zhong betraying the Liu Clan twice.

Upon hearing those voices, his first thought was that a powerful figure from the Liu Clan had arrived.

But now, the person who betrayed the Liu Clan has come looking for him.

What is the purpose?

"What brings you here, sir?" Chen Mingxuan asked.

Liu Zhong smiled and said:

There's something I need your help with right now.

What is it?

Chen Mingxuan stared at Liu Zhong, his vigilance undiminished.

For some reason, he sensed a trace of sincerity in the other person.

Sincerity should be proven by facts, and the feeling he had now surprised Chen Mingxuan.

Considering what Liu Zhong had done, and his own purpose in inquiring about the Five Symbols Sect, Chen Mingxuan immediately said:

"Related to the Liu Clan?"

Liu Zhong shook his head, and before Chen Mingxuan could speak, something suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chen Mingxuan immediately looked away.

It was a hollow, long stick, about the thickness of a calf and the length of an arm, with a shorter stick standing about a third of the way behind it.

The material from which this item was forged is unknown, but its deep blue color gives it an extraordinary feel.

Chen Mingxuan only glanced at it briefly before his attention returned to Liu Zhong:

"What's this?"

"The Liu Clan produces excellent products," Liu Zhong said.

As he spoke, he gripped the short handle with his right hand and said:

"Stand still, let me show you."

Before he could finish speaking, he lifted the object and pointed it directly at Chen Mingxuan.

!

Chen Mingxuan's expression immediately changed, and he instantly understood the other party's purpose.

After going through such a long and winding road, this is probably the real purpose.

Is it about showcasing yourself as the target?

So who is this being shown to?

Do you really think he's lived all these years for nothing?!

Without any hesitation, Chen Mingxuan made his move decisively.

It combines offense and defense, deploying a defensive measure while launching an attack.

He didn't know much about Liu Zhong, so he should be careful!

The next moment, Chen Mingxuan's heart sank:

"Wow, that's fast!"

The opponent's speed was actually greater than his own!

Bang!

As the distance between them increased, sparks flew from the hollow staff in their hands.

Such methods were somewhat difficult for Chen Mingxuan to understand.

For a cultivator to reach their current level, unless they rely on a sufficiently powerful external aid, in most cases, it's better to rely on their own abilities than to borrow external aids.

But if this is a powerful external object in our hands right now, what is its purpose?

Was it just a single burst of flame, and that was it?

As he was thinking, a deep sense of unease suddenly rose in Chen Mingxuan's heart.

It felt as if some danger was hurtling towards it at an alarming speed.

What happened?

A mental scan revealed no signs of danger around him.

"Could it be,"

At this moment, Chen Mingxuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw something flying towards him.

This object is small, but it moves extremely fast.

Before he could even ponder what it was, Chen Mingxuan's shock intensified.

I can see this thing, but I can't sense it!

"End!"

He stepped back, simultaneously forming a hand seal and pointing out with one finger.

Almost instantly, the force collided with the flying object.

Boom!

An explosion rang out instantly.

But in the blink of an eye, it was forcefully suppressed, not just the sound, but also the explosive force.

To the outside, it sounds as if it has abruptly stopped.

What happened?

The two people who were running wildly were attracted by this strange commotion and immediately turned their heads to take a look.

The next moment, cold sweat poured down their backs simultaneously.

"No way, that strong?"

Oh no!

At this moment, the two were both angry and anxious.

If you're going to cause trouble, at least be somewhat strong.

And that's how it turned out. Forget about dominating; they couldn't even manage a draw.

Even so, it's fine to make them run around a little longer.

We haven't gone very far yet, should I still run?

Of course, the two of them tacitly avoided getting bogged down in this issue.

Since they'd already run away, why not continue? Were they just going to wait for the old man to hold a grudge?

At present, we can only try to keep an eye on it while simultaneously accelerating the process.

As the two reacted, Chen Mingxuan looked at Liu Zhong and snorted coldly:

"Is this all you've got?"

The object that exploded was indeed quite destructive.

But to think that you can harm yourself with a method that cannot be sensed by divine sense is nothing short of a fool's dream!

At this moment, Liu Zhong, who was in the distance, also gently shook his head.

"The force of the explosion has indeed increased significantly, but it's still not enough to deal with this level of power."

"Forget it, let's test the effect, not the power."

As he spoke, a flash of sword light appeared.

The next moment, the Dao-Severing Sword appeared in the cave.

"Xiao Dao."

"Just push forward with all your might, and follow your instincts regarding direction."

"Get out of here!"

The sound faded, and fingers clicked.

Bang!

Flames spewed from the cave entrance, Dao-Severing Sword shot out.

"Again!"

Chen Mingxuan felt a slight chill run down his spine.

Although that attack was weak, the fact that the other party had the confidence to do that to me clearly meant it wasn't just to embarrass me.

If the previous move was merely a show of weakness, then this move is likely to be quite different.

The thought has only just passed.

Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared.

The situation remains the same: visible to the eye, yet imperceptible to the divine.

But how far can the eye see?

This sword strike was incredibly fast!

Brush!

The power had barely solidified when the longsword struck.

This sword strike was incredibly sharp.

It paused only slightly before piercing right through.

"Broken!"

An idea popped into my mind.

But the next moment, another thought came to Chen Mingxuan's mind.

The other party didn't want to kill me.

Because that sword wasn't aimed at my heart!

If it's not centripetal, then what is it centripetal to?

The next moment, Chen Mingxuan got his answer.

Laugh!

With a soft sound, the longsword pierced through, like a gentle breeze.

The sword seemed to have touched him, yet it also seemed not to have touched him at all.

Suddenly, Chen Mingxuan's expression changed.

This sword wasn't aimed at the lower abdomen or dantian; it was actually going downwards!

Along with the thought, an unexpected force emerged from the angle between his legs, like a suppressed flame finally breaking free of its restraints.

Bang!

An explosion suddenly rang out.

Not far away, the two people who were running wildly couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

The next moment, both faces showed great surprise.

"Holy crap, how did he do the splits?!"
