Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

The seemingly crazy man felt the enormous force rebounding from his hands.

He stared at Lu Xuan in disbelief, as if questioning his life.

Especially considering the other party's young and tender face, making him look no older than twenty.

Yet, this seemingly young man had effortlessly blocked his full-powered strike with just two fingers.

Could the other party be a Bone Refinement Realm martial artist?

He had to know that he was a Flesh Refinement Realm expert.

This full-force slash could cut a cow in half, let alone a person!

"You?"

"Who exactly are you!"

Liang Cheng reacted with a furious roar, drawing the large saber hanging at his waist: "Damn you, you dare to attack, you're asking for death!"

The man with the surname Zhang nimbly dodged the saber in Liang Cheng's hand.

Then, using the momentum from dodging backward, he sprinted away.

"Did that dog official send you?"

"That beast, I'll never let him go even if I die!"

The man stood in the distance, venomously glaring at Lu Xuan and Liang Cheng, like a devil from hell.

He had been pretending to be crazy and hiding here for several years, and no one knew his identity.

These two people suddenly appeared here, and one of them was the county government yamen runner he hated the most.

Who else would have the time to bother with a madman besides that dog official's people?

In the blink of an eye, a gust of oppressive wind rushed towards the man who had just finished cursing.

A tall figure appeared before him, a full head taller, the deep, dark shadow engulfing his body.

The figure in front of him was none other than Lu Xuan, whom he had just cursed.

The man's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, his mind went blank, and cold sweat streamed down his face, dripping onto the ground along with the yellow mud.

Was he sweating profusely?

Then, a calm voice sounded in his ear, jolting him awake from his fear.

Lu Xuan remained expressionless, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at the man, and calmly said, "It seems I'm right. Senior Zhang has indeed practiced martial arts movement techniques."

The man's strength was only at the Flesh Refinement Realm, yet he could dodge Liang Cheng's sudden attack, displaying speed comparable to a Bone Refinement Realm martial artist at that moment.

The man did not answer Lu Xuan's question, his feet subtly shifting, seemingly wanting to escape from Lu Xuan's side.

However, just as he was about to execute his plan, a large hand reached out and gently pressed down on him.

The man instantly felt a tremendous force on his shoulders, as if a heavy boulder had been placed on his back, rendering his legs immobile.

"Senior Zhang, I do not know the 'dog official' you speak of. I am here solely for the martial arts movement technique that Senior Zhang practices."

Lu Xuan stated his purpose again, while also answering the man's question to avoid further misunderstandings.

Is that so?

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still remained vigilant.

He now understood that the young man before him was far stronger than he was. He hadn't even reacted when the man approached him.

If the other party truly wanted to harm him, he would already be dead.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Lu Xuan released his large hand.

"I wonder what Senior Zhang's intention is."

Lu Xuan patiently waited for the other party's reply.

"Is that so? Hahahaha!"

"Then, if I asked you to kill that dog official and that beast, would you be willing to do it?"

"If you can really do that, I would not only let you take a look at it but also give it to you, and even give you my life."

The man looked somewhat deranged as he spoke, his eyes burning as he looked at Lu Xuan, his tone tinged with pleading.

Because he understood that the mysterious man who had appeared before him might be his only hope for revenge in this life.

For the past few years, he had wanted to capture the beast who had killed his daughter.

Then torture him to death, letting him experience the pain his daughter had suffered.

Lu Xuan silently watched him, without saying a word, looking at him as if he were a fool.

He wanted him to kill a court official, a county magistrate, for a martial arts movement technique.

Lu Xuan would never consider this condition.

Because a mere martial arts movement technique was not worth the risk of assassinating a court official.

Moreover, it was a martial arts movement technique whose details he wasn't even clear about.

Lu Xuan's silence made the man feel somewhat disappointed, the fire in his eyes gradually fading, looking somewhat dejected.

As expected, the other party was not a fool and would not help him kill that dog official for the sake of a martial arts movement technique.

Moreover, the man himself knew that the martial arts movement technique he possessed was incomplete.

He had just wanted to trick the other party into helping him kill those beasts who had killed his daughter.

Even if the other party discovered the flaws in the movement technique afterward and killed him in anger, he would die with a smile on his face.

After a long while, Lu Xuan decided to give up on this martial arts movement technique and was about to turn around and leave.

Seeing Lu Xuan about to leave, the man anxiously said, "If you help me capture the beast who killed my daughter, I will give you the movement technique!"

Lu Xuan still shook his head, ignoring the man's pleas, and directly turned around, walking towards Liang Cheng, who was waiting in the distance.

"Wait!"

"Since you know my identity, you must also know about my past."

"Do you know why I suddenly disappeared for half a month back then?"

The man's words made Lu Xuan pause.

Seeing Lu Xuan stop, the man slowly uttered four words: "Purple Blood Spirit Fungus!"

The Purple Blood Spirit Fungus was an extremely rare tonic, its medicinal effects being ten times stronger than the Red Essence Fungus Lu Xuan had consumed before.

After saying the words "Purple Blood Spirit Fungus," the man's eyes turned red.

Back then, it was because of the Purple Blood Spirit Fungus that he had disappeared for half a month, leading to his daughter's misfortune.

"I don't need you to help me capture that beast. You just need to help me block the guards around him, and I will take care of that beast myself!"

The man lowered his demands again. He couldn't wait any longer.

Every day, the thought of the beast who killed his daughter still living in this world caused him unbearable pain.

Now, he would be satisfied as long as he killed the beast who killed his daughter.

"How does this one know if what Senior Zhang says is true or false?"

The man's words finally caused a slight ripple in Lu Xuan's calm eyes.

Lu Xuan followed the choice in his heart, turned around again, and looked at the man.

There was no way, he was offering too much!

So much that Lu Xuan couldn't refuse at all!
