"Chu Fengmian, what do you mean by that?"
Lu Qianren raised his voice in anger upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words.
"Today, out of respect for Xuanbei, I spared your dog life, but if I encounter you again, I’ll definitely kill you. Now release them quickly!"
Lu Qianren’s tone was extremely forceful, and he bellowed angrily, intending to take his revenge on Chu Fengmian and regain the ground he lost today.
Being the ancient ancestor of Beimang Academy, within the Shattered Life Realm, Lu Qianren found himself pushed to this point by Chu Fengmian, a bitter pill that he was not prepared to swallow easily.
Although in front of the Saint of Xuanbei, he had no choice but to retreat, Lu Qianren was already devising countless venomous and ruthless schemes in his heart to deal with Chu Fengmian.
"Is that so? In that case, there’s no need for Lu Que and Lu Hua to keep living—after all, the Lu family doesn’t show any sincerity for reconciliation!"
"These two were captured by me on the Life and Death Platform. I have the right to kill them if I wish!"
With a wave of Chu Fengmian’s hand, Lu Que and Lu Hua appeared directly in the palm of his hand. As he squeezed, their bodies began to swell, almost to the point of being crushed to death.
Witnessing Chu Fengmian’s actions, Lu Qianren shouted coldly.
"If you dare to harm a single hair on them today, my Lu family will fight you to the death!"
Chu Fengmian sneered upon hearing Lu Qianren’s words.
With a sudden movement of his palm and a slight increase in force, Lu Que and Lu Hua’s bodies were inflated to the brink, as if they could explode at any moment.
"Save me! Ancestor, save me quickly!"
Lu Hua shouted loudly, nearly being crushed to death, desperately struggling.
Although their internal organs were being squeezed, for martial artists of their caliber, it wouldn’t lead to death, but the pain was immense nonetheless.
The agonized screams of Lu Que and Lu Hua resounded, sending a chill down the spines of countless onlookers.
Too cruel. In front of an old relic like Lu Qianren, Chu Fengmian completely disregarded his threats.
He was practically about to crush Lu Que and Lu Hua to death.
Both held high positions within the Lu family, cultivated with countless resources devoted to them.
No one at Beimang Academy had ever dared treat the people of the Lu family this way.
Even Yitian Jun, the leading figure among the disciples, as arrogant as he was, didn’t have the courage to confront the Lu family head-on.
The arrogance and dominance that emanated from Chu Fengmian were alarming yet inspired admiration from countless martial artists.
Such a fearless disposition was necessary to become a true powerhouse. If one cowers in the face of a strong opponent’s threats, then what’s the point of pursuing martial arts!
Even Lu Qianren fell silent in an instant, stunned by Chu Fengmian’s wild behavior.
It seemed that he did not anticipate Chu Fengmian to be this unyielding, daring to oppose him at this moment.
"What exactly do you want?"
Lu Qianren looked at Chu Fengmian and spoke calmly.
"I must take these two away today, release them now. As long as you let them go, we can consider today’s grievances settled."
Lu Qianren no longer dared to be forceful.
Because he could tell from Chu Fengmian’s character: that arrogant and domineering nature of Chu Fengmian’s would never take his threats seriously.
Any threat he made would only backfire; threatening Chu Fengmian would only force him to kill the two on the spot.
And Lu Que, for that matter too.
But Lu Hua was the number one genius of their Lu family, an Innate Divine Body with the Lightning Thunder Body. His future prospects were boundless.
Lu Hua simply could not die.
Chu Fengmian had precisely targeted this critical point, and only now did he dare to coerce Lu Qianren.
A genius with an Innate Divine Body was something the Lu family could not bear to lose.
Chu Fengmian had bet correctly.
The Lu family indeed could not bear it, at least not now with Lu Qianren, who could only step back himself.
Chu Fengmian’s lips moved slightly as he spoke calmly.
"I’m not doing much, just wanting your Lu family to give an account, that’s all."
Lu Qianren looked at Chu Fengmian, scoffing as he spoke.
"An account? What kind of account?"
"It’s simple, release the two of them. That’s fine, but if these two dared to come and kill me, to let them off without any consequences would be to undermine my authority."
Chu Fengmian looked at Lu Qianren, spelling out each word.
"I want half of their Saintly essence blood from each of them, and their spatial rings, with all the wealth within them, to be handed over to me as compensation!"
Hearing Chu Fengmian’s earlier words, Lu Qianren’s heart was already burning with rage, and upon hearing the end, Lu Qianren burst out roaring.
"Chu Fengmian, I advise you to smoothly release them, or else wait for the endless pursuit of our Lu family. Even your teacher, Xuan Bei, won’t be able to protect you forever; one day, you will die at the hands of our Lu family!"
Lu Qianren’s heart was simply furious to the extreme.
What was his identity? An ancient ancestor of Beimang Academy, an antique. Truly an existence that everyone revered.
Even Supreme Elders at the pinnacle of Life and Death realm had to show utmost respect in his presence, obeying his commands.
As for Chu Fengmian, he was just an ant at the Divine Power realm, and now he actually dared to make conditions with him, which was infuriating beyond measure.
No matter how angry or threatening Lu Qianren was, Chu Fengmian’s expression remained as calm as ever.
"It’s just one request. Whether your Lu family agrees to it or not is up to you."
As Chu Fengmian spoke, he also increased the power in his palm by a few notches.
Lu Hua’s face had already turned beet red from the surge of blood, and he could collapse at any moment.
"Elder, save me! Save me!"
Lu Hua’s one sentence was uttered with all his strength.
This made Lu Qianren’s rage subside once again.
Losing half of their essence blood, although greatly harmful, could still be recovered with the resources of the Lu family.
But if Lu Hua were to die at the hands of Chu Fengmian, even with their heaven-reaching means, the Lu family could not revive a dead person.
Lu Qianren could see that if he did not agree now, Lu Hua could really be killed by Chu Fengmian.
Chu Fengmian nodded, not wasting words. With a wave of his hand, two spatial rings fell into his grasp.
At the same time, Chu Fengmian’s palm struck towards Lu Hua and Lu Que.
A gash suddenly opened above their chests, from where, untold amounts of essence blood was drawn out directly by Chu Fengmian, all of which condensed into a blood elixir.
Both Lu Que and Lu Hua had half their essence blood drawn, their faces deathly pale, looking extremely weak.
With a wave of Chu Fengmian’s hand, the two were directly thrown out, caught by Lu Qianren.
"Good, Chu Feng, remember today’s incident. Our Lu family has taken note. The day will come when you fall into our hands, and it will be your time of death!"
