Chapter 512 512: Ou Wenxiang Who Was Beaten and Fled in Defeat
Facing the menacing Ouyang Xiang, Li Qianfan's expression remained calm, as if he had already nonchalantly accepted everything.
This scared Liu Ruyan beside him out of her wits; she thought he was scared stupid. She thought it over and decided to step forward herself.
However, just as she was about to step forward, Li Qianfan pulled her back.
The next second, he made his move.
His strength at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm was released fully, a formidable pressure followed, enveloping the approaching Ouyang Xiang.
"Hmm? Seventh level? No wonder you're so fearless."
Ouyang Xiang was slightly startled; this was beyond his expectation. In his understanding, his opponent's strength should have been on par with his own at the sixth level.
Despite this, he still didn't think Li Qianfan was a match for him.
Liu Ruyan was both shocked and delighted; she hadn't expected Li Qianfan's cultivation level to be higher than Ouyang Xiang's.
Li Qianfan used his specialty, the Dragon Phoenix Fist. With his overwhelming cultivation level, there was no need for any flashy techniques.
Just the power gathered in that one punch made Ouyang Xiang silently fear deep inside, though he didn't show it due to pride.
His blind confidence would eventually turn into a deadly bullet; when they officially clashed, this became fully apparent.
The formidable force, like a runaway wild horse, was too much for Ouyang Xiang to handle, forcing him to retreat several steps, his arms already trembling slightly.
By then, he realized that although it was only a small difference in level, it was like an insurmountable chasm.
But was he to just let them leave? He couldn't accept this!
"Attack! What are you all waiting for? Go!"
Ouyang Xiang turned and yelled at his stunned subordinates. Upon receiving the command, they didn't dare delay and charged forward recklessly.
However, their strength was around the third and fourth levels of the Qi Refining Realm, making their attempt to defeat Li Qianfan akin to a mayfly shaking a tree.
Even Liu Ruyan herself could handle them, so their defeat was expected.
In just a moment, they were strewn across the ground, leaving only Ouyang Xiang standing alone.
He swallowed his saliva; the situation hadn't developed as he had imagined, and the thought of fleeing unconsciously popped into his mind.
Li Qianfan chose this moment to go on the offensive, particularly picking the time when Ouyang Xiang's heart was wavering.
By the time the latter realized it, it was too late. He only felt a sharp pain in his chest, then his body uncontrollably flew backward, crashing to the ground in a disheveled heap.
"Young Sect Master, get up, this is no place to sleep."
Li Qiansan said in a seemingly concerned tone, pulling the mockery to its peak, infuriating Ouyang Xiang so much that his whole body trembled.
The two sides had long torn away any pretense of cordiality; it was a life-and-death struggle, and Li Qiansan saw no need to save face for him.
"Don't be too pleased, we'll see!"
Enduring the pain, Ouyang Xiang crawled up from the ground, his teeth itching with hatred. After dropping these harsh words, he fled with his men.
"Thank you!"
Relieved, Liu Ruyan sincerely thanked Li Qiansan.
"No problem, just agree to marry me."
Li Qianfan joked, but the other party seemed to take it seriously, giving a sincere reply, "Let's wait until this storm passes."
It seemed it was not a joke; from her eyes, it appeared she harbored many deep feelings.
The information contained in that statement was so overwhelming that Li Qianfan's brain temporarily froze.
There was no rejection? Nothing could be better than that.
Just looking at the two massive thunderbolts on the other person's body, Li Qianfan felt an urge to grasp them. It wasn't that he was dishonorable, but which man could resist such temptation?
Moreover, Liu Ruyan possessed the Minor Heat from among the twenty-four solar terms, which was what Li Qianfan needed.
"How can it be considered completely over?"
Li Qianfan was somewhat impatient, wishing he could play a round of poker right away, of course, only for the power of the Minor Heat.
"Ten Thousand Talisman Sect must be annihilated."
Liu Ruyan gave the answer, but these short five words had a huge impact on Li Qianfan. Wanting the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect to be wiped out was no child's play.
In a short time, it seemed somewhat difficult. After all, the power was evident there; a brute force attack was not possible, only a strategic one.
Li Qianfan fell silent; he wasn't very confident.
Liu Ruyan changed the topic, looking in the direction where Ouyang Xiang and his group were leaving, her expression somber: "We need to hurry up."
That guy Ouyang Xiang wouldn't take this silently; he would definitely think of a way to target Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan and might even activate the Black Pattern Formation.
"Black Pattern Stones, did you bring them back?"
Liu Ruyan's pupils contracted, momentarily feeling despair. Was that to say this trip was in vain?
"Not at all."
Li Qianfan innocently shook his head, and Liu Ruyan, upon hearing this, seemed to lose all her strength and dejectedly sat down on the ground.
"But…"
The former chuckled, obviously keeping something in suspense.
"But what?"
This instantly gave Liu Ruyan hope; her previously listless eyes now sparkled brightly.
"I sabotaged the Black Pattern Stones. If they activate the formation, I can transport the students to a safe place."
Li Qianfan provided the explanation, which was like finding an oasis in the desert, a timely help! This made Liu Ruyan feel reinvigorated.
She immediately sprang up and embraced Li Qianfan in a flash, her movements as swift as lightning: "You scared me to death! I thought the mission had failed. Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
She mildly reproached him, but her joy was greater.
Feeling the warmth in front of him, especially with the two huge thunderbolts pressing in between, an indescribable feeling surged up, making Li Qianfan find it quite comfortable.
Perhaps sensing something too, Liu Ruyan let go and didn't forget to cough lightly twice, trying to alleviate the awkwardness.
Next, the two returned to Azure Dragon Mountain.
After Ouyang Xiang and his people tumbled back to the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Unbelievable! They really took me for a pushover. I will make them pay!"
Ouyang Xiang spoke, then went back to his room, fetched the Black Pattern Stone, and made up his mind.
He found Master Chen, who also wanted to see him. Coinciding in their thoughts, they activated the Black Pattern Formation to assist Master Chen and the Sect Master in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Inside the pitch-black room, only the candlelight placed on the floor emitted light.
There were many patterns on the floor, clustered together in a bizarre fashion, but it didn't seem out of place compared to the surroundings.
In the center of the formation, Ouyang Xiang stood, wearing a purple-black cloak, indeed looking the part.
What do you think?
