255: Crazy Wen Fengyuan! Detonates Princess Xingyue's heart!

Wen Fengyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unusually stern, while the distant screams and pleas for mercy from the Wen Family members echoed like sharp arrows, piercing the sky and coming in wave after wave.

However, these sounds, filled with despair and pain, failed to stir any ripple on Wen Fengyuan's face, not even a trace of emotion.

Wen Fengyuan's eyes were calm, as if the Wen Family members being unilaterally slaughtered by the Blackbird Guard were nothing more than insignificant dust in his eyes, completely unrelated to him.

Because Wen Fengyuan had long been prepared; when he pledged allegiance to those two great families and harmed Princess Xingyue as a 'proof of loyalty,' the Wen Family from then on had only two possible outcomes.

Either they would soar to great heights, transcend the mundane, and join the ranks of the Eight Great Families, enjoying immense wealth, power, and wielding the power of a ten-pattern sun relic!

Or they would fall into an abyss of no return, easily crushed like ants, completely disappearing from the history of the Great Xia Dynasty without leaving a trace.

Looking at the current situation, the Wen Family was already on the verge of collapse, existing in name only.

The imperial decree for the execution of the entire family had already been issued, and the Wen Family's demise was but a fleeting moment away.

Wen Fengyuan stood amidst the ruins, his gaze deep and complex as he looked ahead.

At this moment, a hint of regret quietly arose in his heart, like a tiny thorn pricking deep within him.

However, this hint of regret did not last long; it was quickly submerged by Wen Fengyuan's cold ruthlessness.

Wen Fengyuan thought to himself.

As long as I am alive, the Wen Family will not perish! I am the Wen Family.

My strength is the core of the Wen Family.

A sharp glint once again flickered in Wen Fengyuan's eyes, as if everything was still under his control.

Now, he had no more attachments or restraints; only a ruthless determination remained.

Divine Palace Realm Major Achievement!

Upon breaking through to this realm, he would gain several hundred more years of lifespan.

His aging body would be rejuvenated, regaining its former astonishing vitality.

At that time, for Wen Fengyuan, continuing the bloodline and having descendants would simply be a matter of time.

Wen Fengyuan believed that as long as he was alive, the Wen Family's bloodline would not be cut off, and it might even rise again in the future.

And Wen Fengyuan's most important task right now was to get rid of this Lu Xuan.

This Lu Xuan appeared young, yet he could swiftly deal with that monstrous entity from Haoran Prefecture.

That proved that Lu Xuan's strength was unfathomable, definitely superior to his own.

Currently, Wen Fengyuan's strength had fallen to the Minor Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm.

If he were to rashly engage in a prolonged fight with Lu Xuan, he would likely be defeated within an hour, or even lose his life and meet a tragic end.

Fortunately, he had kept a backup plan, sparing Princess Xingyue's life.

Now, he could use Princess Xingyue's life to threaten Lu Xuan.

Seeing that Lu Xuan remained silent, Wen Fengyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience and coldness flashed in his eyes.

Then, Wen Fengyuan spoke with a hoarse voice, "Lord Lu, are you perhaps not agreeing to my terms?"

This contained a blatant threat!

Before he finished speaking, Wen Fengyuan lightly raised his right hand and gently grasped the air with his five fingers.

This grasp seemed casual, but it contained terrifying Nascent Soul power, directly affecting Princess Xingyue within the purple flame barrier.

Princess Xingyue, within the purple flame barrier, her previously calm face instantly turned pale, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and she let out a faint cry of pain.

Subsequently, Princess Xingyue's body trembled slightly, as if bound tightly by an invisible force, making even her breathing difficult.

Wen Fengyuan's Nascent Soul power directly ignored Lu Xuan's Nascent Soul power, acting on Princess Xingyue's heart from a distance, compressing it slightly.

This pain not only came from her body but also directly impacted Princess Xingyue's entire network of meridians, making it unbearable for her.

However, to Wen Fengyuan's disappointment, Lu Xuan showed no reaction on his face after seeing this scene.

A hint of anger gradually appeared on Wen Fengyuan's face, his features slightly distorted by fury, his eyes narrowed, staring fiercely at Lu Xuan, and he spoke coldly.

"Lord Lu, stop playing innocent in front of me!" This voice seemed to carry a mysterious power, causing even the void to ripple.

"If Princess Xingyue dies, I don't believe you'll remain unharmed!"

"That Dog Emperor will definitely not let you off easily either!"

Wen Fengyuan gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking viciously.

This Lu Xuan, once I leave this place, I will definitely investigate your background thoroughly.

Hmph!

Today, my Wen Family suffered an execution of the entire family, and our bloodline is cut off. I will remember this blood feud!

Let you, this young brat, be proud for now. There will be a long time ahead, and one day.

I will definitely make you, this wet-behind-the-ears brat, also taste the flavor of family annihilation and extinction!

Just as Wen Fengyuan was immersed in his malicious thoughts of how to retaliate against Lu Xuan in the future.

At this moment, Lu Xuan moved. He gently swept his right hand around him, his movements seemingly soft and casual, yet appearing to contain the power of endless heaven and earth.

In an instant, the void space within a thousand meters seemed to be violently pressed down by an invisible giant hand, causing a fierce tremor.

Everyone within this thousand-meter radius was instantly enveloped by Lu Xuan's divine sense and Nascent Soul power.

The Blackbird Guard among the crowd only saw a flash of light and shadow before they were accurately and flawlessly sent far away, completely unharmed.

However, the Wen Family members were not so lucky. Lu Xuan's sweep was like a cataclysmic disaster for them.

The Wen Family members didn't even have a chance to struggle.

In front of Lu Xuan's Nascent Soul power, their bodies were as fragile as paper in the wind.

In an instant, terrifying power of heaven and earth poured down, and wherever it reached, none of the Wen Family members were spared; all were instantly crushed into a pervasive blood mist.

Thick blood qi freely dispersed in the air, and a pungent, metallic smell assailed the nostrils.

Looking around, the surroundings were a blurry scene of a sea of blood, like a human purgatory, eerie and terrifying, making one's heart tremble.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wen Fengyuan's heart suddenly constricted, and a strong premonition of disaster, like a surging tide, swallowed him.

"What do you want to do!"

"Lu Xuan!"

Wen Fengyuan shrieked, his voice finally carrying urgency and panic.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the lives of the Wen Family members; in Wen Fengyuan's view, they were merely fleeting clouds.

What he was now filled with worry about was this Lu Xuan, who appeared young and naive but was actually ruthless in his methods and unfathomably strong.

He was afraid that Lu Xuan would disregard Princess Xingyue's life and fight him to the death.

If it came to that, his old life would probably end here today.

All his revenge plans and dreams of revitalizing the family would turn into smoke.

Lu Xuan ignored Wen Fengyuan's reaction. In an instant, a faint purple glow shot out from his physical body.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the ground within a thousand-meter radius rapidly cracked open.

Striking cracks in the ground spread out like grasping claws.

And that dazzling purple glow, like surging magma, flowed wantonly along the cracks on the ground, illuminating the entire ground in an eerie and dazzling way.

At the same time, at the thousand-meter edge, four terrifying purple flame walls rose from the ground.

Those giant purple flame walls were burning fiercely, carrying scorching high temperatures.

Just looking at them from a distance, one could feel the terrifying heat waves assailing them.

Immediately, these four purple flame walls rapidly converged with lightning speed.

They tightly enveloped the thousand-meter area, even covering the sky above, making it impenetrable.

Looking from a distance outside, the area where Lu Xuan was originally located now resembled a fiercely burning cubic flame object.

The enchanting purple flames danced, their light blinding, making it impossible to see any scene inside.

It was as if the inside had become a sealed, alternate dimension.

After sealing this area of heaven and earth with his Nascent Soul power, Lu Xuan slowly turned his gaze to Wen Fengyuan, his eyes filled with coldness and tranquility.

Threats?

Hmph, how ridiculous.

In Lu Xuan's code of conduct, he never feared anyone's threats.

To be precise, Lu Xuan simply didn't care.

Even if that high and mighty emperor died in front of Lu Xuan at this moment, his emotions would not be stirred in the slightest.

No reason other than, it's someone else who died, not himself, so what does it have to do with Lu Xuan.

Upon seeing this, Wen Fengyuan's eyes widened, his sunken eye sockets almost bursting, and his face instantly turned purplish-red like a pig's liver, extremely ugly.

Immediately after, his eyes were filled with an expression of disbelief, as if he had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.

Wen Fengyuan gritted his teeth, almost spitting out each word, "Nascent Soul power!"

"You are a Divine Palace Realm Major Achievement martial artist!

"Lu Xuan!"

Wen Fengyuan's heart was struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"

"This is completely different from the intelligence those families gave me!"

Wen Fengyuan never expected that this Lu Xuan, his true martial arts realm, was actually a Divine Palace Realm Major Achievement existence.

This bastard Lu Xuan hid himself too deeply!

Wen Fengyuan had previously thought that this brat Lu Xuan could only exert power comparable to a Nascent Soul True Person.

But now it seemed that this Lu Xuan was a Nascent Soul True Person himself.

There was simply a world of difference between the two.

If it were the former, Wen Fengyuan could still contend with Lu Xuan a few times by relying on the power of sacrificial artifacts.

But if it were the latter, then Lu Xuan was completely an overwhelming existence to him.

He, a Nascent Soul True Person whose strength was greatly damaged, was merely an insignificant ant in front of Lu Xuan, a Nascent Soul True Person with peak strength, completely unable to withstand a single blow.

Wen Fengyuan's thoughts shifted, knowing that his life was at stake at this moment, and he dared not hold back in the slightest.

A moment later, all of Wen Fengyuan's Nascent Soul power within his God Palace erupted with a roar.

In an instant, a terrifying gale, with the force of overturning mountains and seas, roared and swept out.

Wen Fengyuan's body floated steadily at the center of this vast hurricane, his robes fluttering wildly in the storm, as if they would be torn to shreds in the next moment.

His frost-white hair and beard flew freely; at this moment, Wen Fengyuan was like an immortal descending from the Nine Heavens to the mortal world, every movement carrying an extraordinary aura.

With just a raise of his hand or a step, the invisible space transformed, twisting and folding.

Distant house debris and wooden scraps were shaken by an invisible immense force.

Wood mixed with wet soil churned ceaselessly, and the earth seemed unable to bear the weight, emitting a dull rumble.

The next instant, Wen Fengyuan's eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling white light, followed by a deafening roar.

"Wen Qian Qi!"

As soon as his voice fell, Wen Fengyuan's Nascent Soul power, like a raging flood breaking a dam, madly spread to the bronze ruler in his hand, then surged and poured into it.

This bronze ruler was no ordinary object; it was the sacrificial artifact bestowed by the late emperor—the Seven-Pattern Moon Relic, Haoran Ruler.

After receiving the enhancement of Wen Fengyuan's Nascent Soul power, the Haoran Ruler suddenly erupted with dazzling, profound white light.

As the white light intensified, a torrent of white power, as thick as a stone pillar, shot out from within the bronze ruler.

That utterly pure white torrent of power, carrying the destructive power of the origin of heaven and earth, slammed towards that purple flame wall with a roar.

Boom!

Wen Fengyuan's Nascent Soul power and Lu Xuan's Nascent Soul power collided with a roar.

At this instant, around the two forces, heaven and earth seemed to collapse.

Then, deafening roars, like rolling thunder from the Nine Heavens, echoed between heaven and earth.

And at the center of the power storm, it seemed to be enduring the pressure of cosmic destruction.

The ethereal space rapidly collapsed and compressed, and several abyssal black spatial cracks.

Like ferocious beasts from an unknown void opening their giant mouths, they abruptly tore through the void.

Constantly emitting an extremely terrifying aura, as if to devour everything in this heaven and earth.

At the same time, the explosive hurricane caused by the power storm, like countless sharp blades, swept across the ground with brute force.

Wherever it passed, whether it was boulders, broken wood, or dust and debris, everything was mercilessly swept up by the storm.

For a time, countless objects, carrying dust that filled the sky.

Flew wildly in this heaven and earth sealed by Lu Xuan, a scene of chaos as if the world had fallen into doomsday.

However, before the sky-obscuring dust could even slightly dissipate, Wen Fengyuan seemed to sense something.

His expression instantly changed dramatically, and he roared in a frantic manner, "Impossible!"

Wen Fengyuan simply could not believe that his full-strength strike, which also incorporated the power of the origin of heaven and earth contained within the Moon sacrificial artifact.

His powerful attack could not even break through the Nascent Soul power barrier casually set up by Lu Xuan.

The disparity in strength between the two was simply beyond Wen Fengyuan's imagination.

"Damn it, how can there be such a huge gap!"

Wen Fengyuan was almost insane at this moment, his eyes bloodshot, like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation.

The next instant, Wen Fengyuan's gaze turned towards Princess Xingyue's direction, and a look of determination and ruthlessness surged onto his face.

"Damn brat, even if I die, I will never let you off easy!"

As soon as his voice fell, Wen Fengyuan unhesitatingly manipulated his Nascent Soul power, directly detonating Princess Xingyue's heart.
