The ninety-eighth opening

  "Is it yours?"

  Lu Fan looked at Zhao Xu.

  Zhao Xu said coldly: "Foolish martial artists. This is a Refining Qi Cauldron for Qi Refiners. What use do you, who don't even have Yuan Qi, have for the cauldron? Hand it over to me."

  Zhao Xu stretched out his hand towards Lu Fan, although there was still fresh blood on his body, but his tone was already filled with arrogance.

  Lu Fan slightly furrowed his brow, he really couldn't understand why Zhao Xu was still so arrogant when he was already in a precarious situation.

  Han Feng couldn't stand this kind of person who liked to look down on others, and loudly said: "What does it have to do with you whether our stuff is useful or not? Are you looking for a fight?"

  Zhao Xu's face was twisted and his palms were shaking.

  With a wave of his hand, Zhao Xu released a stream of yuan energy. The five elements condensed into objects, and the five lights of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth shone brightly as the illusory beasts charged forward.

  Wide-eyed, Han Feng hadn't even reacted yet when he was struck by the Five Elements Condensed Object.

  The powerful force of the Five Elements directly caused Han Feng to spit out a mouthful of blood.

  The attack of a Qi Refiner is sharper than that of an ordinary martial artist. The power of the Five Elements can explode your body, no matter how strong it is, as long as it enters your body.

  Chu Xing hastily supported Han Feng.

  Zhao Xu sneered: "You stinky little brat. In front of a noble Qi Refiner, you dare to be so presumptuous. You really are tired of living."

  "Haofeng's teeth clenched, and he shouted: 'Your grandma's leg, Gao Gui!'"

  The blue water long sky sword was thrown out directly, carrying a sword light, and instantly hit Zhao Xu's thigh.

  Blood spurted out, Zhao Xu fell to the ground.

  Looking at the wound on his leg, Zhao Xu shouted: "You actually dare to hurt a noble cultivator. Are you looking for death?"

  Zhao Xu exerted force and pulled out the Bishui Longtian Sword from his leg. He then took out a handful of medicinal pellets from his bosom and put them into his mouth.

  Lu Fan's pupils constricted, his face cold, and he flashed forward.

  When he saw Lu Fan walking over, Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Lu Fan, I know you. Your family also has a Qi Refiner. You should know the nobility of a Qi Refiner. Give me the tripod in your hand."

  Holding the Ding of Ten Directions in his hand, Lu Fan looked at Zhao Xu and said, "You want this Ding? Then I'll give it to you."

  As he spoke, Lu Fan's entire body was filled with a powerful aura, and the twenty-fold increase in his aura caused his palms to be filled with light.

  Zhao Xu stared at Lu Fan in shock as he smashed the Ding towards his head.

  With a loud crash, Zhao Xu was smashed until his head was bleeding profusely, half of his face was blurred with blood and flesh, and the powerful aura inside him kept exploding, fresh blood seeping out from his pores.

  Zhao Xu directly fainted and fell over.

  Lu Fan picked up the Ten Sides Cauldron and said calmly, "I've given it to you. But you can't take it. Don't blame me for that."

  He put the Ding of Ten Directions into his waistband, and later Han Feng and others walked over.

  He lifted his foot and kicked Zhao Xu's waist fiercely. The powerful kick caused Han Feng's dantian to burst open, revealing the bones inside.

  This kick is likely to have damaged Zhao Xu's dantian.

  "This guy won't have gone crazy from being stimulated by his martial brother's death, will he? How dare he provoke us."

  Han Feng disdainfully said. As he spoke, Han Feng began to sweep away Zhao Xu and the others' belongings.

  Take away all the magic tools, elixirs, and void objects. Even Han Xun and several deceased senior brothers were not spared, and everything was stripped clean.

  "Come on, Lu Fan, these things are useless anyway. Let's just split them up."

  Lu Fan looked at these blood-stained things and was somewhat uncertain whether he should take them or not.

  Han Feng directly stuffed a small portion of the things into Lu Fan's arms and said, "This world isn't one where you kill me or I kill you. Even within the Wudao Academy, it's not uncommon for people to mysteriously die every year. Their belongings are then collected and passed on to other students. These few Qi-refining disciples deservedly got stuck with a heartless master."

  "Lu Fan, junior brother, take it. It's still worth some money. We didn't kill this foul-mouthed Han Feng, that's already being quite merciful."

  Lu Fan slowly accepted the thing and put it into his own arms.

  Turned his head and walked towards the gate, turned around and looked at Han Feng and others on the ground.

  Chu Tian patted Lu Fan's shoulder and smiled, "Lu Fan, you'll get used to it slowly. Whether it's the world of martial artists or the world of Qi Refiners, death is too common. I remember my father once told me that this is just how the world is, all we can do is try our best to survive. Lu Fan, since you can recognize this as a Power Backlash Formation, can you lead us out?"

  Lu Fan nodded slightly and walked slowly towards the gate.

  A sigh in my heart, perhaps what Shixiong and the others said is right, this world is indeed like that.

  As he walked up to the gate, Lu Fan stretched out his hand and began searching for a weak point on the Guardian Gate.

  According to Wu Chen's teachings on the formation methods of Qi Refiners, Lu Fan had more than ten ways to open this Guardian Door.

  But those methods would all reveal the fact that he possessed yuanqi.

  Even if he trusted his few senior brothers very much, Lu Fan still did not plan to expose his biggest secret.

  So I still have to rely on the most stupid method.

  Generally, for a Guardian Gate filled with arrays like this one, the builder would leave behind a hidden node. Otherwise, every time the master comes in, they would have to fight against the array again, wouldn't that be too troublesome? Especially since this kind of power backlash array is an indiscriminate attack.

  The so-called node is the most correct and convenient method to open the gate of protection. It may only require a light press, or entering a password, or releasing a special yuanqi wave, and the door can be opened.

  This kind of node arrangement will be reflected in the Guardian Gate or the Guardian Puppet, and the formation pattern.

  If it were his master Wu Chen here, through his old Dao's experience, he would probably only need a few glances to find the key points.

  But Lu Fan's experience was indeed insufficient, he needed some time to explore.

  Fortunately, the Power Backlash Array had been broken, and Lu Fan was no longer afraid of staying in front of the Guardian Gate for a long time, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

  East touch touch, west look look. Lu Fan was like a foreman inspecting a construction site.

  Han Feng, Chu Xing, and Chu Tian couldn't understand what Lu Fan was doing. They also had no way to deal with this Guardian Gate, so they could only walk around it once.

  Han Feng said in a low voice, "Senior brother, what family background does Lu Fan come from? Not to mention his martial arts talent is top-notch, but he also understands all these messy things about Qi refining. He's almost catching up with me, the brilliant and mighty one."

  Chu Xing completely ignored Han Feng's last sentence and said, "Maybe it's those real aristocratic families. However, I haven't heard that there is a surname Lu in this state and county. Alas, who cares about that? Why don't you go to Lu Fan's house during the New Year's holiday and take a look?"

  "Never mind, my old man is still waiting for me to go home."

  Just as they were chatting, Lu Fan suddenly pressed a cloud pattern on the Guardian Gate.

  The next moment, the Guardian Gate burst open with a loud bang.
