Four Seas Cloud Moon

At the same time, Zhou Xuanyi, who had been standing not far away, suddenly surged with a powerful aura, emanating a heart-pounding aura. His eyes, once distinctly black and white, now glowed crimson, like two blazing gems, revealing an endless killing intent. Clearly, Zhou Xuanyi was preparing to unleash some incredibly powerful mystical technique to address the situation. As his true essence surged frantically, his cultivation realm suddenly ascended to the eighth level of enlightenment!

"I don't care who you are, this is where you'll be buried! Neither of you will leave alive!" Zhou Xuanyi's eyes widened with anger, his face full of ferocity, and he roared at the person in front of him with gnashing teeth. The voice seemed to come from the Nine Netherworld, filled with endless murderous intent and anger, which made people shudder.

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xuanyi swung his arm, and the sword at his waist instantly unsheathed. In an instant, a flash of cold light suddenly flashed like a meteor across the night sky, and it rushed towards Lu Xiaotian with lightning speed. The sword light was astonishingly fast, like lightning piercing the darkness, leaving no time for reaction.

The speed of this sword was far beyond the reach of ordinary human imagination. Even the surrounding air emitted a sharp hissing sound from the incomparably sharp sword energy, as if being torn apart. At the same time, a surge of powerful sword intent, like a tidal wave, swept over, overwhelming the sky and earth, and the momentum was terrifying to the extreme.

Everyone present was horrified at the sight, their faces pale as paper, and they couldn't help but gasp. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they watched what was happening before them, secretly thinking: Under such a ferocious and unstoppable attack, Lu Xiaotian was probably doomed and would surely die!

What a shame! This outcome was a huge disappointment for everyone present! Who could have imagined this? Before even ten rounds had passed, Zhou Xuanyi, like a kite with its string cut, flew away again! This time, he flew even further, and even more tragically. With a dull thud, he fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Zhou Xuanyi's face was filled with resentment and disbelief, his eyes fixed on Lu Xiaotian, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. In stark contrast, Lu Xiaotian remained completely calm and composed. For him, defeating Zhou Xuanyi was a piece of cake, even easier than just performing a simple long fist routine.

Zhou Fanlin, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that his proud son would be defeated so cleanly and without any chance of resistance. Such an outcome was truly hard for him to accept.

Meanwhile, Qian Feihu and Qian Duoduo, the father and son, were bewildered. They stared at Lu Xiaotian in the center of the field, stunned, their hearts awash with mixed emotions.

"Who the hell is this guy? How could he be so powerful?" Qian Feihu muttered to himself, frowning. Qian Duoduo, standing beside him, was also puzzled and chimed in, "Yeah, Dad, I've never heard of such a person in the martial arts world! He was able to defeat Zhou Xuanyi so easily. It's unbelievable!"

You have to know that Zhou Xuanyi was no ordinary man. Even if Qian Feihu or Qian Duoduo had personally engaged him, they would probably have ended up both sides injured, with no clear winner. But this seemingly unremarkable young man, faced with Zhou Xuanyi's unique secret technique, not only showed no fear or retreat, but in just ten or so rounds, he had completely defeated the opponent with overwhelming force, leaving him powerless to fight back.

Such a shocking performance is really hard to understand. It is as if this person is a peerless master who fell from the sky, mysterious and awe-inspiring.

In the bustling crowd, Zhang Guangzheng and his daughter Zhang Hui stood with their mouths wide open, as if they could fit an egg in them, their astonishment evident. Although they had long heard of Lu Xiaotian's strength and knew he was no ordinary person, they had never imagined he could be so formidable.

Zhang Hui, in particular, had already secretly made up her mind: if Lu Xiaotian were to be defeated, she would not hesitate to commit suicide to preserve her innocence. However, at this moment, looking at the scene before her, she realized that her previous concerns were purely unfounded!

Looking at everyone's facial expressions, Han Tai's was undoubtedly the most striking. His face looked as if he'd just swallowed a pile of chicken shit, his mouth tense, as if he wanted to vomit but couldn't, feeling incredibly uncomfortable. Then, he hurriedly beckoned over an attendant, whispered a few words into his ear, and then, relieved, slowly sat down.

On the other side, Zhou Xuanyi tried to struggle to stand up, but unfortunately, it backfired. At this moment, all the meridians in his body were broken, and he was only able to stay afloat thanks to the last breath of his true energy!

"You are... you are... Lu... Xiao... Tian?" As these trembling words came out of Zhou Xuanyi's mouth with difficulty, everyone present was stunned in an instant, their mouths opened wide, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

That’s right, this person is none other than the former poet-immortal of the Star God Kingdom, the renowned King of Zhenbei, and now the heroic ruler who has annexed the Star God Kingdom and the Moon God Kingdom in one fell swoop and changed the name of his country to the Luoshen Kingdom—Lu Xiaotian!

Zhou Fanlin and Qian Duoduo exchanged glances, and Zhou Fanlin spoke first, "I never expected Prince Zhang to choose to join the imperial court. This is truly surprising! I wonder when you made this decision?"

Zhang Guangzheng was stunned upon hearing this, secretly contemplating that Lu Xiaotian's true identity must be something extraordinary. He had initially assumed Lu Xiaotian possessed some background, but he had never imagined it to be so formidable. He also considered that Lu Xiaotian had spent so much time alone with his daughter, Jiajia, that even without a blood relationship, some kind of bond must have developed. Furthermore, common sense dictated that Lu Xiaotian, having come to the Zhang family alone, must have had someone behind him, perhaps even a large force lying in ambush outside the gates. Thinking of this, Zhang Guangzheng instantly understood that proving his loyalty to the other party was the only way to protect the Zhang family. While this would mean losing his position as a vassal king, it was still preferable to the execution of his entire family.
