Chapter 156: I have a basic understanding of staff techniques.
Lu Feng didn't know what Xue Tong was talking about; he was a bit confused about the situation.
In the boy's sight, Xue Lan, dressed in gray, stood in front of him and the little girl, and pulled a long sword from his sleeve.
It was a rusty longsword that looked like it could only be used to knock out enemies.
At this moment, Xue Tong also felt the increasingly dense demonic energy around her.
But the girl didn't panic; she even glared at Lu Feng, who was secretly making small movements behind her.
Lu Feng was silenced by her glare and resumed his obedient standing posture.
The boy appeared well-behaved and adorable, but his mind was racing with a multitude of thoughts. In a very short time, he analyzed his current situation.
Some of the things he said to Xue Lan before were true, and some were false. For example, the process by which he obtained the fragment of the map was real, but he was not brought here by the fragment of the map by chance.
He was unwilling to be an ordinary person, so he first practiced a cultivation technique next to the incomplete map, and then followed the instructions on the map to come to this secret realm.
However, although this secret realm had cultivation restrictions, he, a mere late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, was still too weak. After witnessing the lone cultivators plundering treasures for several days, he decided to stay at the back and wait for an opportunity to act.
That's when they met Xue Lan.
Lu Feng had previously attended the Ascension Ceremony held at the Xuanhuang Sect and had obtained some information from it. The immortal master in front of him, who had always been at odds with him, was a high-ranking disciple of True Person Lingyuan of the Xuanhuang Sect, and his cultivation level should be at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
In other words, Xue Lan is currently the strongest fighter in this secret realm.
Based on Lu Feng's observation, the two people in front of him must have discovered an enemy—an enemy that could make Xue Lan take out a weapon. If he were to leave Xue Lan now and try to escape, he would definitely not survive.
If Xue Tong knew what she was thinking, she would definitely clap her hands and say, "Perfect plan!"
Xue Lan flicked the Su Jun sword in her hand, her girlish voice lively and pretty: "Sister Lü Su, can you help me?"
The longsword in his hand did not respond. Only some of the rust near the hilt had faded, revealing a mirror-like blade.
Xue Lan saw her own somewhat stiff smile reflected on the sword.
A clear, pleasant voice came from inside the longsword: "It's not convenient for me to go out right now, why don't you come in and take a look?"
The domain of Su Junjian's sword spirit remains unchanged.
In the boundless darkness, a bright moon shines in the sky, casting its gentle light upon the reeds below, turning the ground into a silvery expanse.
Lu Su was dressed in a dark brown outfit, and her beautiful hair was tied into a long braid behind her back.
The woman looked at the moon in the sky, a hint of anxiety appearing in her eyes.
They seemed to be waiting for Xue Lan's reply.
A gust of wind rose within the domain, sweeping across the reeds in front of Lü Su once more. The reeds rippled, mirroring the restless heart of Lü Su.
"So, Sister Lü Su has realized I'm not a good person now?"
Xue Lan's cheerful voice reached her ears. Lü Su knew she couldn't possibly lure the girl in.
Moreover, even if they were tricked into coming in, it wouldn't be of any use. With Xue Lan's divine sense, she would definitely be able to break through Lü Su's blockade.
The woman appeared calm and composed: "I will not help you anymore unless you one day completely expel that inner demon."
Xue Lan was displeased upon hearing this.
The sword spirit is right, but she probably can never get rid of this inner demon.
For Xue Lan, expelling this inner demon formed from the Heavenly Soul was like tearing her soul apart; no one in their right mind would do such a thing.
The girl's voice was gentle and sweet: "Then, sister, please get some rest!"
Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan: [What's wrong?]
Xue Lan said casually, "She's unwilling to help me."
Xue Tong knew that the "she" Xue Lan was referring to was Lü Su. After all, she was the spirit of a divine artifact, and it was a good thing that she had her own judgment of good and evil. Otherwise, if she recognized a suitable one and let her be her master, the Yuanming Realm would probably be in chaos.
"Why don't we give up on Su Jun and summon the Soul Guide instead?" Xue Tong suggested.
Xue Lan shook her head: "Forget it, she's too young!"
Xue Tong wondered if it was just her imagination, but she actually saw a maternal glow in Xue Lan.
Xue Lan looked at the Su Jun Sword in her hand. Although it couldn't be sharpened because of the sword spirit's resistance, it wasn't unusable, was it?
A thin mist gradually rose around them, and Lu Feng heard the low panting of wild beasts coming from all directions, surrounding the three people in front of him.
The creatures slowly emerged from the mist; they were magical beasts about the size of wild boars. Each had two heads, and each head had a blood-red eye.
Xue Tong thought she had seen plenty of ugly things since she was working with Xue Lan, but she never imagined that there was nothing uglier than this. The little girl couldn't bear to look at what was in front of her, so she took two steps back and hid behind Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was forced into this situation and stood in front, at a loss. However, due to Xue Lan's authority, he dared not back down. So, the young man took out a delicate short blade from his sleeve and held it in front of him.
"What kind of magical beast is this?" Xue Tong asked Xue Lan, who was at the front.
Xue Lan looked at the magical beast in front of her, then looked up at the thick fog not far away.
"This is a Fog Dweller, not some powerful magical beast. But..."
Before Xue Lan could finish her sentence, a mist-shroom leaped up and snapped off the head of another one.
"But he was greedy and cruel, making him one of the demon god's favorite minions."
Lu Feng stood in front of Xue Tong and saw a bright smile appear on the gray-clad girl's face. Her gray-white eyes narrowed into slits, which made him a little scared.
Accompanied by a series of roars, the surrounding mist swarmed forward and pounced on the three.
Xue Lan's figure transformed into a gray afterimage and flew forward, rustling the surrounding grass and trees wherever she passed.
The girl held the Su Jun Sword, which had rusted into an iron rod, and exuded an aura of being able to take on a hundred men single-handedly. With each swing of her hand, the "rod" was like a blur, showing no mercy, smashing down all the misty figures that pounced on her like whack-a-mole.
Xue Tong was greatly shocked by the speed and ruthlessness of the attack.
"You also know stick fighting?" Xue Tong asked blankly.
Xue Lan turned her head, her voice tinged with pride: "Weapon refiners, after all, always know a bit more."
[Besides formations, is there anything else you don't know how to do?]
Swordsmanship, talismans, soul manipulation, divination... Xue Lan is practically omnipotent.
Xue Lan heard the little girl's question, and although she didn't stop what she was doing, she was seriously thinking about the question.
After the second wave of fog was thrown back, the girl smiled and replied to Xue Tong, "I'm not very good at chess."
This wasn't Xue Lan lying to Xue Tong; playing chess was indeed Xue Lan's worst skill.
It's even worse than a battle formation.
The disciples that Xue Lan of the Xuanhuang Sect was familiar with were all skilled at chess, and they had even given Xue Lan one-on-one instruction in chess.
"Qinghe taught me to play chess back then..." Xue Lan began slowly.
"And then?" Xue Tong couldn't help but ask.
Then he slammed the chessboard down and left.
From then on, their friendship could only be based on not playing chess.
【what have you done? 】
"Because no matter what she says, my first move will always be at the center of the board."
Xue Tong immediately accessed his database, then looked at Xue Lan and said, "Serves you right!"
He started by provoking others in his first move when learning chess; no wonder he got scolded.
However… Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan, who was resisting the fog all by herself. The girl stood straight and was calm and composed.
That's what she would do, isn't it?
