Chapter 1500: Lo Xuanqing's Anger

Appearing before him, ambushing him, was none other than his good friend and future brother-in-law, Luo Xuanqing!

When he went to the Zhang Clan, he had helped Luo Xuanqing resist a lightning tribulation, and Luo Xuanqing had even asked him to kill him if he failed. They had been as close as brothers; how could they have become like this after just over a month apart?

If it weren't for his greatly increased strength and his quick evasion, he would have been severely injured already!

“Die!” Luo Xuanqing roared, ignoring his words. His figure, like lightning, appeared before him in the blink of an eye, unleashing a crushing punch.

At this moment, Luo Xuanqing’s cultivation at the Aperture Opening realm was fully consolidated. His fist wind roared, compressing the space around it. It felt like an iron disk, crashing down forcefully.

“Are you crazy?” Zhang Xuan was stunned that this guy attacked without a word and with such a ruthless move. His scalp prickled with alarm.

His spirit and physical body were still not fully integrated. If it weren't for the urgent matter concerning Zhao Ya, he would have already fallen into a coma.

The disharmony between his spirit and body prevented him from unleashing even a fifth of his true power. Seeing such a ferocious attack, he knew he couldn't block it and could only flash away and dodge.

Crack! No sooner had he left than the spot where he had stood erupted with a loud bang, and cracks appeared in the space.

Having already reached the Saint 8-dan Aperture Opening realm and with the Luo Clan's bloodline granting him an innate understanding of space, Luo Xuanqing's combat power was terrifying. Even an ordinary peak Saint 8-dan Aperture Opening realm expert might not be able to contend with him.

Swoosh! Missing his strike, Luo Xuanqing charged forward again.

His figure seemed to rip through space. His speed was even a little faster than the Heaven's Path Movement Art. He arrived before Zhang Xuan once more, giving him no chance to breathe.

“I really had important business when I went to the Zhang Clan this time. I didn't have time to help you kill anyone…” Thinking Luo Xuanqing was blaming him for not acting against himself, Zhang Xuan explained while dodging.

If he hadn't heard the explanation, it might have been better. But hearing it, Luo Xuanqing’s scalp prickled even more furiously.

He clearly got involved with my sister, yet he's pretending nothing happened…

Does he have no shame?

“Die!” With a roar, he slammed both palms downwards.

Whoosh! Zhang Xuan immediately felt his body sink into a compressed space, unable to move.

If his spirit and physical body were perfectly integrated, even though he was only at the peak of the Emptying Incarnation realm at the moment, he could have easily broken free. But now, his mind was constantly dizzy, and he felt as though he could fall from the air at any moment. He couldn't even defend himself, let alone break the hold.

He was hit by a punch to the chest, his face turned pale, and Zhang Xuan was sent flying backward, landing on the ground and creating a large crater.

“Please don't fight here, alright…? I'm begging you, I just finished repairing it…” Elder Su, watching the chaotic energy of their battle surge everywhere, was almost in tears.

Every time this king of destruction visits, the Formation Master Guild gets damaged… Are you trying to kill us?

If you were here for a normal assessment, that would be one thing, but to come here to fight, and so ruthlessly…

Who did our guild ever offend…?

Ignoring his cries, after sending Zhang Xuan flying, Luo Xuanqing twisted his body and charged forward again.

Bang, bang, bang, bang! His arms instantly seemed to multiply into eight, and countless fists rained down.

Zhang Xuan was already injured, and with his spirit and body not integrated and his mind spinning, he couldn't dodge at all. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“You… what on earth is wrong with you?!” Circulating his zhenqi to rapidly recover from his injuries, Zhang Xuan could no longer hold back.

What got into him? He was perfectly fine before he left. Why, upon meeting again, was he attacking like a madman, without any explanation?

“Crazy? I *should* be crazy!” With bloodshot eyes, Luo Xuanqing appeared before him again and delivered a kick.

“You…” Knowing that being hit would lead to severe injury, if not death, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth again, enduring the dizziness in his mind, and clawed at the air.

Boom! The space before him collapsed.

Although he was only at the peak of the Emptying Incarnation realm, with the Heaven's Path Divine Art he cultivated and his understanding of space, he could still contend with an ordinary peak Aperture Opening realm expert. While Luo Xuanqing was strong, he wasn't significantly superior. In fact, if Zhang Xuan used his Eye of Insight and the Library of Heaven's Path, Luo Xuanqing would be far from his match.

Thud! The space warped, and Luo Xuanqing's foot missed Zhang Xuan, slamming into the ground with a violent roar and creating a large crater.

With his strike missing, Luo Xuanqing recoiled and lunged forward, crashing into Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan tried to dodge, but the dizziness in his mind returned, and he was too slow, getting hit in the chest again.

Booming! He was sent rolling across the ground like an iron plow, carving out a wide trench tens of meters long.

His throat tasted sweet again, and more blood gushed out.

“Hmm?” After spitting out blood, Zhang Xuan wasn't as angry as before. Instead, he was stunned.

Although Luo Xuanqing's attacks were powerful and his words were full of murderous intent, the force hadn't penetrated deep into his organs or damaged his body's functions. In other words, even if he was hit, it was only superficial damage, not fatal!

“Furthermore, these attacks can accelerate the integration of my spirit and body…” Not only that, but Luo Xuanqing's attacks surprisingly had a certain benefit for his spirit-body integration. After being hit twice in a row, his previously difficult-to-control physical body now felt much lighter.

“It seems he isn't truly trying to kill me…” Understanding that Luo Xuanqing wasn't genuinely trying to kill him, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped deliberately dodging, but a sense of bewilderment involuntarily rose in his heart.

Before he left, this guy was calling him brother. How did he become like this after just one month?

Thud, thud, thud, thud! With Zhang Xuan no longer deliberately dodging, all of Luo Xuanqing's attacks landed on him. Although his flesh hurt intensely, his body became more integrated with his spirit.

Previously, his spirit had suddenly expanded to twenty meters, putting it in a state of separation from his physical body. Now, under Luo Xuanqing's furious attacks, they merged into one, no longer distinct.

“Luo Xuanqing's attacks, every single one, contained spatial power. The conflict of his spirit and physical body not being integrated was alleviated under the impact of this power…”

Soon, he understood what was truly happening.

Perhaps it wasn't intentional on Luo Xuanqing's part, but as a powerful member of the Luo Clan, his comprehension of space far surpassed ordinary people. With every punch, spatial energy permeated his skin and entered his body, which coincidentally resolved the root cause of his spirit and body not integrating.

He had been constantly troubled about how to resolve this issue. He never expected that a beating would eliminate the hidden danger.

He used to be the one who beat others to heal them. Now that he was being beaten, it truly felt like the Heavenly Dao's cycle of retribution, swift and just.

Thud, thud, thud! After an unknown period, seeing that Zhang Xuan had been sufficiently battered, Luo Xuanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

He had to admit, this guy was incredibly resilient. Luo Xuanqing, the one doing the beating, was actually a bit exhausted, yet the other party still looked as if nothing had happened. This level of defense was probably equal to, if not stronger than Yuan Xiao's.

He stretched his somewhat tired body. Instead of leaving, he leaned against a nearby ruin not far from Zhang Xuan.

“From now on… treat my sister well! If I ever find out you've wronged her, I will kill you!”

“You, you…” His scalp prickled, and Zhang Xuan's eyes widened.
