In the prison.
After a period of confrontation, Wu Hongfei and the group still could not confirm who had attained the legacy. The few of them were all very tight-lipped.
The Swordsmen were interrogating them.
Bam!
Bam!
The whip lashed on Zhao Yunshan’s body mercilessly.
“Speak! Where is the legacy?!”
The person questioned harshly.
“I don’t know.”
Zhao Yunshan sighed. “If I really have the legacy, I would have killed you.”
Bam!
Bam!
A few whips were lashed at him.
Gao Tianlang was also whipped.
Although a Swordsman’s physique was tough, he was also beaten black and blue. However, he really did not know where the legacy was.
Similarly, w.a.n.g Xuan was also whipped.
The trio had the greatest chances of attaining the legacy. Naturally, they were in the most miserable states.
And amongst them…
w.a.n.g Xuan was the most worrisome one! Because he was only three-star! His physique was the weakest and they did not know if he could endure this! If he were to die like that…
Bam!
A whip landed.
w.a.n.g Xuan was bleeding profusely.
“C-continue,” w.a.n.g Xuan said.
That person furrowed his brows tightly. He actually dared to provoke him?
Bam!
Bam!
He lashed out another few whips.
“C-come again!” w.a.n.g Xuan said.
That person was infuriated. These few guys were asking for death? Hence, he lashed out the whip in his hands mercilessly, aiming at the body parts that hurt the most!
Bam!
Bam!
The whips were dancing.
Vaguely, some energy even dissipated.
The items that they used to interrogate people… How they be ordinary whips? The energy in them would not kill but would increase one’s pain and suffering!
However…
What was surprising was that… w.a.n.g Xuan could actually persist…
“Continue! Bring it on! Too weak!”
w.a.n.g Xuan continued to scoff.
The harder that person lashed out with the whip in his hands, the more w.a.n.g Xuan yelled for him to continue. In the end, he shouted for him to hurry up continuously…
Bang!
A peculiar energy surged in his body.
w.a.n.g Xuan, breakthrough!
At that instant, everyone’s expression changed slightly.
Yes.
He actually underwent a breakthrough and became four-star at this moment!
This…
“You actually made use of me to help you in the breakthrough?”
That interrogator exploded with anger.
“Hehe.” w.a.n.g Xuan laughed.
“You’re looking for death!”
That man was enraged.
Very well.
He made use of him for the breakthrough, right?
He would continue then! You are about to breakthrough. Hence, you gritted your teeth and persisted! I will let you make use of me as much as you like. I’ll see if you can breakthrough again and how long you can persist?!
Furthermore…
To have a breakthrough at this moment…
Perhaps…
The legacy is with you?!
Hence, the interrogator no longer cared about the rest and ‘took important care’ of w.a.n.g Xuan!
Bam!
Bam!
Whip by whip, he lashed out.
He lashed out with all his might.
Uh…
w.a.n.g Xuan groaned sullenly.
Sigh.
Zhao Yunshan and the group cast a pitiful look at him. This child was too pitiful. Why did he have a breakthrough at this moment? Wouldn’t that make the enemy suspect him?!
However…
They were unaware. w.a.n.g Xuan’s expression was very strange at this point in time.
Really…
This was because he did not feel any pain.
There was an outburst of blood in his body as they coagulated with the wounds on his body. After the wounds were torn by the whips again, it should have hurt. However, after he entered four-star…
In his body.
In his blood, the genes… seemed to have been awakened by something strange…
Not only did he not feel the slightest bit of pain but also got a kick out of the las.h.i.+ng… It was inexplicable… He thought of his father’s swordplay…
It turned out that…
This was actually the bloodline legacy!
…
Bam!
Bam!
There was only pin-drop silence in the room.
Occasionally, there was a mingling of the interrogator’s hollers and w.a.n.g Xuan’s groans. It was bizarre.
…
Wu Hongfei sighed deeply.
It seemed that…
He would not be able to attain the legacy using such means.
If Zhang Erliang was still around, Zhang Erliang might be able to force these people to expose the whereabouts of the legacy. He would then have the chance to s.n.a.t.c.h it. However, now, it seemed that…
That was nothing else to look forward to!
Sigh.
It was a sheer pity.
If Miss Xiaoqing had been captured, she would be thrown here to threaten Gao Tianlang… Gao Tianlang would then reveal that he had the legacy. He could then become the hero saving the beauty…
Tsk tsk.
He would save both his brother-in-law and Xiaoqing, and the entire family could leave together.
This was such a perfect plan?
It was a pity…
These people were too useless!
Miss Xiaoqing was also too adept at escaping. She had not been captured yet.
Forget it.
He had given up.
Remaining here would be a huge waste of time.
Hence…
He rubbed his sole on the floor.
Bang!
Lights and shadows circulated.
All of sudden, he traversed the special chain.
“You…”
The person who was interrogating w.a.n.g Xuan sensed that something was amiss. He had just turned back before he was pierced by Wu Hongfei’s sword. “You… How can you…”
“Hehe.”
Wu Hongfei pursed his lips. He looked at Gao Tianlang and the few of them. “One million yuan. I’ll release you. How about that?”
“Hehe,” Zhao Yunshan sneered.
Click!
He bit and broke one tooth. Lights surged on his body and he actually freed himself.
“Do you think that you’re the only one who can do this?” Zhao Yunshan said nonchalantly.
Shus.h.!.+
At this moment, Gao Tianlang also freed himself.
Everyone was speechless.
w.a.n.g Xuan’s shock and curious gaze swept across them. So, these guys could escape so easily. Why did they remain here to be lashed at?!
Did they have psychological illnesses?
Or physiological problems?
Or perhaps…
Actually, they also had those kind of powers in their blood?
…
“You…”
Wu Hongfei squinted his eyes.
“If it’s not for the sake of the legacy, who would stay here?”
Zhao Yunshan sneered coldly.
Therefore…
Everyone glanced at w.a.n.g Xuan and that four-star Swordsman simultaneously.
The legacy…
It was very possible that it was with one of them?
Of course.
The possibility of this was just slightly higher.
Wu Hongfei pursed his lips. According to his understanding of Zhao Yunshan, it was truly possible that this guy would allow himself to be captured and come here to accompany them in this act and hide the legacy.
Why was he so sure?
This was because he had such a plan initially…
It was a pity…
The legacy did not give him such a chance at all.
“Xiaow.a.n.g.”
Wu Hongfei released w.a.n.g Xuan smilingly. “Is the legacy with you?”
“No.”
w.a.n.g Xuan was puzzled.
“It’s alright.”
Wu Hongfei rubbed his hands. “Let’s interact more in the future.”
“Oh.”
w.a.n.g Xuan scratched his head.
“It’s alright. Let’s get out first before we talk…”
Wu Hongfei was smiling. “Anyway, there’s still a long time ahead…”
Clang!
The few of them kicked and broke the iron gate.
The wounds on their body were already healing speedily. This kind of external injuries would not have much impact on them.
Initially, they were hoping to gain something in the chaos. They did not expect these natives to be so useless. Hence, they had no choice but to temporarily give up the matter of the legacy.
However…
Just as they stepped out of the prison.
Bang!
At a faraway place.
Seemingly, a strong and powerful Sword Aura landed.
One strike!
Two strikes!
Three strikes!
They witnessed an astonis.h.i.+ng scene.
It was only until this moment that they realized how terrifying Lu Yan’s combat ability was!
It turned out that…
This was Lu Yan’s actual combat ability?
“c.r.a.p!”
Wu Hongfei’s face froze.
In fact, they had been secretly competing with Lu Yan and also viewed Lu Yan as their goal. However, they did not expect Lu Yan to be that powerful!
d.a.m.n it! What kind of level was this?!
How could they compete with that?!
They should simply kneel and say ‘Father’! That would do!
He had decided that he would run from Lu Yan’s path in the future. Oh and Lu Ming… This nickname of ‘Big and Little Demon King’ seemed to be gradually coming to light.
He could not afford to offend them.
“Lu Yan…”
Zhao Yunshan clenched both his fists.
This was too terrifying!
So, this was her actual ability?
Gao Tianlang was also silent.
When they were occupied with competing for the legacy in the prison, Lu Yan dashed straight to the other party’s headquarters and directly sank the isle …
Was she truly a five-star?!
Even if you were to breakthrough to six-star, that was more acceptable!
“It’s Lu Ming’s elder sister, indeed,”
w.a.n.g Xuan uttered in his heart.
On the contrary, he was the calmest amongst all of them.
He had not interacted with Lu Yan before but he knew how terrifying Lu Ming, the two-star Card Creator was. Moreover, Lu Yan was the elder sister who outshone Lu Ming since the latter was a child…
This was amazing!
However…
Very soon, their gazes moved to Elder Xu.
Elder Xu!
Six-star peak!
“Something bad is going on.”
Zhao Yunshan’s heart skipped a beat. “There seems to be a six-star peak individual at the headquarters. I heard that he’s an elder and is responsible for keeping the energy barrier going. Coupled with this Elder Xu…”
There were two six-star peaks!
Lu Yan was in danger!
Shus.h.!.+
Everyone glanced towards the middle of the island.
Over there…
That piece of isle had been blasted to pieces.
Only pieces of floating rocks remained.
Lu Yan…
Would this really be fine?
…
At this moment…
Above the broken pieces of floating rocks, Lu Yan was floating and standing in the sky.
“Lu Yan!”
Elder Xu exploded with rage.
Never did he expect that the entire isle would be destroyed because he arrived a tad later! Even their main hall was gone! It was a hall that had been around for a hundred years!
That was their home!
“You’re good!
You’re a dignified Swordsman and yet, you’re so scheming and malicious!”
Elder Xu was infuriated. “First, you fled around the island continuously and led me on a wild goose chase. Then, you deliberately distanced yourself from the middle isle. When I went after you, you quietly came back and destroyed the isle!
You’re too detestable!”
Elder Xu went hysterical.
They had said that Lu Yan was pure and honest. To him, this was a joke!
Lu Yan cast a strange look at him. What nonsense.
She went around the island merely because she was searching for Lu Ming.
She appeared here because she could not find her brother after a round of search. Hence, she simply blasted this place. After the barrier disappeared, there would naturally be network coverage and she would be able to contact him.
That was all.
At this very moment…
A figure rushed here from afar. Obviously, it was Elder Zhang!
“Lu Yan…”
His eyes were filled with hate. “Liang-er died when he went after your brother.”
“Oh?”
A rare smile emerged on Lu Yan’s face. “I feel rea.s.sured then.”
Her younger brother was fine. Of course, she was happy.
“However, you will die.”
Elder Zhang focused his gaze. “After you’re dead, I will go and kill him! No matter where he is, I will kill him to seek revenge for my Liang-er!
This revenge — is absolutely definite!”
Elder Zhang could not contain his hatred.
“Is that so?”
Lu Yan pondered seriously. “It seems that I can’t let you live.”
“You? On what basis?”
Elder Zhang had a ferocious expression.
They were six-star peaks. Naturally, they could tell that Lu Yan did not have the ability to fight with them. Furthermore, Lu Yan had already cast three shocking strikes!
Would she still have any powers left?
Most probably, she could not even beat a four-star Swordsman now!
“You can’t beat us.”
Elder Xu sneered coldly.
Whoos.h.!.+
The two of them dashed towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan could not even beat one of them. Furthermore, there were two people now?
“I know.”
Lu Yan was very calm.
She had never thought that she could win a six-star peak… However…
At this moment.
Bang!
A horrifying aura suddenly rose from her body and penetrated the sky. It was charging towards the two six-star peak cultivators. They were slightly terrified of that aura.
This was…
“Sword Intent!”
Elder Xu’s countenance changed drastically.
Bang!
The Sword Intent erupted.
It tore the sky and traversed the air.
Pfft!
Elder Zhang suddenly paused and stared at his chest in disbelief. A huge hollow appeared there. His body had been perforated by a beam of Sword Intent!
It was as if it was a sheet of paper.
How could this be possible…
He was a six-star peak!
Even if he was already injured, he was still a six-star peak!
He…
Bang!
Elder Zhang’s figure suddenly fell and dropped onto the floating rocks.
“Right now… You’re reunited with your family,” Lu Yan said calmly.
Elder Xu s.h.i.+vered all over.
Sword Intent…
Lu Yan was only at a five-star, where did the Sword Intent come from?
Even if she had one, it would not be so powerful. That aura was from Lu Yan’s master! Only that person’s Sword Intent could be so horrifying!
This was Lu Yan’s trump card!
It came from her master’s ultrapowerful Sword Intent!
“I should have long thought of it.”
Elder Xu’s heart trembled.
Right.
How could Lu Yan possibly not have a trump card?
He should have long thought of it…
If he had known that this was the case, after he caught Gao Tianlang, Zhao Yunshan, those five inheritors, he should have brought them along and fled!
He would give up on everything!
He would forgo everything here!
He would allow the Lu Yan sibling pair to ruin this place…
It was a pity…
There was no longer ‘if I had long known’ or ‘what if’, chasing after the lives of the Lu Yan sibling pair had developed into a nightmarish plot.
Before his eyes, everything was gone.
