One person: Started at Wudang, got hit on the head by Lu Zu's sword.

Without accumulating water power, overcoming tribulations and hardships, and undergoing the transformation from a dragon to a serpent, no matter how deep one's cultivation, one cannot undergo a qualitative change and shed the serpentine body.

When Lu Xuan saw Deng Youfu's will being replaced and a powerful force taking control of his body, he understood the general idea.

The practice of "chuma" (出马) originated from the shamanic tradition to some extent, except that the shamanic tradition seeks to make spirits its subordinates.

Feng Tianyang was born into the shamanic lineage. Because he sought to use all the spirits in the world for his own purposes, he came up with the technique of binding spirits and commanding generals, which is the natural enemy of all yin spirits.

However, in the lineage of shamans, spirits often favor a particular family and are willing to bestow their power upon them. This is especially true for guardian spirits, who are invited to protect the family. The intimacy of the relationship between them is even greater than that between ordinary disciples.

Using his connection with Deng Youfu, Liu Kunsheng forcibly descended and controlled Deng Youfu's body. Although he did not completely take over Deng Youfu's body, he still crossed the line of "possession".

If this were outside the pass, the "family rules" of the five families might be tolerable, but this is inside the pass, on Longhu Mountain, in front of Lu Xuan.

If it's just about revenge, I'll accept it. But to possess someone and steal their soul right in front of me, do you think my sword isn't sharp enough?

"Liu Kunsheng, if you don't court death, you won't die. Don't you understand?"

He casually dispersed the sword light and looked at the terrified Liu Kunsheng in front of him.

Lu Xuan chuckled and said, "In the past, when Lu Zu descended the mountain to save all living beings, he killed countless monsters and demons. Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng also spent sixty years fighting demons, and no one in the world dared to call themselves a demon."

"The legacy of Lü Zu is a matter of immense cause and effect. There are many in the world who covet it, fear it, and harbor grudges against it. Aren't you surprised that you are the only one who dares to rush over to seek revenge?"

Deng Youfu, unusually calm at this moment, subconsciously asked a question.

"why?"

"Because they dare not."

Lu Xuan spoke softly with a blank expression, and a sword's cry, like the wind, rang out and grew stronger.

“It wasn’t that Lu Zu’s sword chose me, but that only that sword was worthy of me.”

"With my talent, I will surely attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality no matter which path I cultivate."

"You think that Lu Zu's legacy is my reliance, and you want to kill me to sever Lu Zu's legacy in order to take revenge, but what I rely on is..."

"It's me."

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, the sound of swords clashing intensified.

Liu Kunsheng tried to resist, but the sound of the sword's cry dispersed all his demonic energy.

The terrifying killing intent was even greater than before, so much so that it made his soul ache faintly, as if his soul was about to be shattered by the sound of the sword.

Liu Kunsheng tried to escape, but found that the sword's cry was not only locked onto Deng Youfu's body, but also onto his own soul.

Deng Youfu's body was locked, making it impossible for him to escape.

Every inch of space in front of them was sealed off, and the slightest movement would trigger an overwhelming barrage of sword light.

Even the lingering echo of the sword's cry reverberated in his soul, blowing countless large and small wounds into his seemingly indestructible spirit.

It seemed that at any moment, the sword's cry would blow away all his cultivation, and his soul would be scattered.

Liu Kunsheng dared not move again, because he could feel Lu Xuan's consciousness locking onto him.

If you act rashly, you will face an even more terrifying attack.

This extraordinary level of cultivation and supernatural abilities, completely outside of Lu Zu's lineage, greatly alarmed Liu Kunsheng.

How can this be?

He himself was Liu Kunsheng of Changbai Mountain, a great demon who had been entrenched in Changbai Mountain for a thousand years. Cultivators among the supernatural beings were utterly insignificant to him.

The ability to control spirits is merely a matter of controlling spirits. Not to mention that immortals dare not cross the Shanhaiguan Pass, would a cultivator who can control spirits dare to come outside the pass?

But Lu Xuan in front of him was just a young boy who had cultivated for a total of twenty years.

Twenty years? That's just the time it takes for me to doze off. How could this kid be so powerful?

Liu Kunsheng was terrified, feeling as if his very body was about to break out in a sweat.

"Liu Kunsheng..."

Lu Xuan looked at Liu Kunsheng, who was unable to move.

How do you plan to die?

"I'm planning to……"

Liu Kunsheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and he instantly transformed into a billowing cloud of smoke that burst out of Deng Youfu's body, which then crashed to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Kunsheng suddenly pounced on Lu Xuan.

"I'll let you die."

Liu Kunsheng let out a shrill roar and arrived in front of Lu Xuan in an instant.

Liu Xian was warlike, skilled in fighting, and daring in battle; the words "compromise" and "admit defeat" were never in Liu Kunsheng's dictionary.

Nine out of ten chances of survival? Then let's fight for that one chance.

Despite being called an elf and having cultivated for a thousand years, it is still a cold-blooded creature covered in scales and armor at its core, with the instinct and ferocity of a hunter etched deep in its soul.

Perhaps begging for mercy and obediently hiding back into Deng Youfu's body could save his life, but Liu Kunsheng was unwilling.

He won't just give up easily.

No matter how fast your sword light is, it may not be faster than mine.

Liu Kunsheng arrived in front of Lu Xuan in an instant, and could see the pores on Lu Xuan's skin clearly. It seemed that in the next moment, Lu Xuan's body would be torn to shreds by him.

But this tiny gap has become an insurmountable barrier.

As Lu Xuan watched Liu Kunsheng rush towards him, he didn't move his feet, but the space between the two grew farther and farther apart, until they were completely out of reach.

But Lu Xuan's voice was very close, so close that it seemed to be ringing in his ear.

"What a pity! Wrong answer."

Liu Kunsheng was taken aback at first, then continued his futile efforts to fly towards Lu Xuan.

But what awaited him was only a sword light coming straight at him.

The sound of swords clashing grew louder and louder, echoing like a strong wind in every corner of the soul.

Lu Xuan remained motionless, but a vast expanse of sword light swept in from behind him.

Liu Kunsheng wanted to resist, but he was powerless to do so and could only let the sword light engulf his soul.

But the next moment, a look of joy appeared on Liu Kunsheng's face. Was he alright?

I'm actually alright?

Liu Kunsheng looked at his soul body with surprise and found that there was not a single wound on his body.

Just as he was about to speak sarcastically, his face suddenly froze, and boundless fear surged into his heart.

Because Lu Xuan's voice still echoed in his ears, but not in the ears of his soul here, but in his own physical body...

"Liu Kunsheng..."

Lu Xuan still wore a smile, but that smile now sent chills down Liu Kunsheng's spine, who was already a cold-blooded animal.

"If you withstand this sword light, I will spare your life."

Chapter 98: Who dares to kill me? Who can kill me?

Liu Kunsheng let out a startled roar, his soul, formed from black qi, froze in mid-air, and his consciousness quickly returned to his original body on Changbai Mountain.

Lu Xuan stood still, quietly watching Liu Kunsheng's soul in front of him.

The audience was deathly silent.

It's important to know that the fight and conversation between Lu Xuan and Liu Kunsheng were not concealed at all; the audience saw and heard everything clearly.

The audience watched the events unfold, witnessing one breathtaking scene after another, and felt... this was definitely worth the ticket price!

Originally, I was hoping to see Deng Youfu of the Chuma lineage and Lu Xuan of Wudang have a proper fight, and that would be enough to give them a satisfying spectacle.

It remains to be seen whether Deng Youfu can satisfy Lu Xuan and unleash some truly impressive skills that will shock them.

Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This is more than just good value for money; it's an absolute steal.

First, Deng Youfu suddenly displayed his great power, but he couldn't even touch a hair on Lu Xuan's head.

Then the truth behind Deng Youfu's "sudden burst of talent" was revealed: he was actually using a substitute player.

Then, a secret that had been hidden for thousands of years was revealed.

Lu Xuan confidently declared that he was completely dominating Liu Kunsheng, this thousand-year-old demon.

However, none of the people present thought there was anything wrong with what Lu Xuan said.

Lu Xuan's terrifying cultivation level and confident arrogance had long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Everyone present was now simply waiting to see what would happen next.

Why did Lu Xuan's sword light suddenly disappear? Why wasn't Liu Kunsheng injured? And why is he suddenly frozen in place now?

Even the old master, Lu Jin, and Tian Jinzhong in the stands fell silent.

After exchanging glances, the three remained silent for a while.

After all, what was happening before their eyes was so shocking that even they seemed somewhat outdated in the face of such a duel and supernatural power.

"Old Celestial Master, tell me the truth..."

Lu Jin looked at the old Celestial Master in front of him, his voice for some reason becoming somewhat hoarse.

"Your injuries weren't inflicted by Lu Xuan, were they?"

The old master nodded, there was nothing to hide about being less skilled than others.

Looking back now, Lu Xuan was holding back in yesterday's sparring match.

This is actually something to be happy about. If later generations are not as good as their predecessors, then the lineage of the supernatural world would have been cut off long ago.

"Hiss! Now I understand completely."

Has even the Old Master been surpassed?

Hmm! It's not a bad thing that the Old Celestial Master got beaten up.

Having already heard about what happened on the back mountain yesterday and the current changes in the Wang family, Lu Jin nodded.
