26: He gave too much!

The seemingly insane man felt the immense recoil from his hand.

He stared at Lu Xuan with an expression of disbelief, as if questioning his own existence.

Especially since the other party had a young, tender face, looking no older than twenty.

Yet, this seemingly very young man had easily blocked his full-force strike with just two fingers.

Could the other party be a Martial Artist of the Bone Refinement Realm?

One must know that he was a Martial Artist at the Major Achievement of the Flesh Refinement Realm.

With this full-force slash, let alone a person, even an ox would be cut in half!

"You?"

"Who exactly are you?!"

Liang Cheng reacted, flying into a rage, and drew the large saber hanging at his waist: "You bastard, you dare to make a move, you're courting death!"

The man named Zhang gracefully dodged as Liang Cheng's saber was about to strike him.

Then, using the momentum from his dodge backward, he sprinted into the distance.

"Are you sent by that corrupt official?"

"That beast, I won't let him go even in Hell!"

The man stood in the distance, looking viciously at Lu Xuan and Liang Cheng, like a malevolent spirit from Hell.

He had been feigning madness and hiding here for several years; no one knew his identity.

These two people suddenly appeared here, and one of them was a Yamen Runner from the county yamen, whom he hated the most.

Besides that corrupt official's people, who else would have time to bother a madman?

In a flash, a gust of oppressive wind instantly assailed the man who had just finished cursing.

A tall figure appeared before his eyes, a full shoulder taller than him, and a deep, dark shadow covered his body.

And the figure that appeared before him was precisely 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, carrying the yellow mud and dirt from his face to drip onto the ground.

Was he sweating profusely?

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

Lu Xuan remained expressionless, with his hands behind his back, looking down at the man with a condescending gaze, and calmly said: "It seems I was right, Senior Zhang indeed practiced a Martial Art Body Technique."

The man's strength was only at the Flesh Refinement Realm, yet he was able to dodge Liang Cheng's sudden attack, bursting forth with a speed comparable to a Bone Refinement Realm Martial Artist in that instant.

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

However, just as he was about to implement the idea in his mind, a large hand reached out and gently pressed on him.

The man instantly felt an immense force on his shoulder, as if a heavy boulder had been placed on his back, and his legs became immobile.

"Senior Zhang, I do not know the corrupt official you speak of. I came here only for the Martial Art Body Technique that Senior Zhang practices."

Lu Xuan stated his intention again, and at the same time answered the man's question, so that he would not continue to misunderstand.

Isn't that right?

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still maintained a trace of vigilance.

He now understood that this young man in front of him was far stronger than him; when he had just approached him, he hadn't even reacted.

If the other party truly intended to harm him, he would have been dead by now.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Lu Xuan released the large hand that was pressing on him.

"What do you think, Senior Zhang?"

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

"Is that so? Hahahaha!"

"Then if I asked you to kill that corrupt official and that beast, would you still be willing?"

"If you can truly do it, let alone letting you observe it, I can even give it to you, or even my life."

The man seemed somewhat deranged as he spoke, his eyes burning as he looked at Lu Xuan, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.

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

For these past few years, he had constantly wanted to capture that beast who had caused his daughter's death.

Then he would torture him to death, making him experience the pain his daughter had endured.

Lu Xuan silently watched him, without any words, as if looking at an idiot.

Just a Martial Art Body Technique, and he wanted him to kill a court official, the county magistrate.

Lu Xuan would never even consider this condition.

Because a mere Martial Art Body Technique was not worth Lu Xuan taking such a great risk to assassinate a court official.

Moreover, it was a Martial Art Body Technique whose details he was not even clear about.

Lu Xuan's silence made the man feel somewhat disappointed, the fervor in his eyes gradually faded, and he looked somewhat dejected and lost.

Indeed, the other party was not a fool; it was impossible for him to kill that corrupt official for a Martial Art Body Technique.

Moreover, the man himself knew that the Martial Art Body Technique in his possession was incomplete.

Just now, he had tried to trick the other party into helping him kill the beasts who had caused his daughter's death.

Even if the other party discovered the flaw in the technique afterwards and killed him in anger, he would still die with a smile.

After a long time, Lu Xuan still decided to give up on this Martial Art Body Technique, and was about to turn and leave.

The man opposite, seeing Lu Xuan about to leave, immediately spoke urgently: "If you help me capture that beast who killed my daughter and bring him to me, I will give you the Body Technique!"

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

"Wait!"

"Since you know my identity, I assume you have also looked into my affairs."

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

The man's words made Lu Xuan's footsteps pause.

The man saw Lu Xuan stop, and slowly uttered four words: "purple blood spirit herb!"

purple blood spirit herb is an extremely rare and highly nourishing medicinal herb, its medicinal effect is more than ten times stronger than the red essence zhi Lu Xuan had taken before.

After speaking the four words "purple blood spirit herb," the man's eyes turned red.

It was for the purple blood spirit herb that he had disappeared for half a month back then, which led to his daughter's unfortunate demise.

"I don't need you to help me capture that beast; you only need to help me block his guards, and I will deal with that beast myself!"

The man lowered his demands again; he could not wait any longer.

Every day, thinking that the beast who had killed his daughter was still alive in the world, he felt unbearable pain.

Now, as long as he killed that beast who had killed his daughter, he would be content.

"How do I know what Senior Zhang says is true or false?"

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

Lu Xuan followed his inner choice and turned around again to look at the man.

No way, he still offered too much!

So much that Lu Xuan simply couldn't refuse!
