Chapter Fifty: A Condition Two Updates
Thank you.
"Hum..." With a sound, Lu Zhong's hand held a dark red long sword out of its scabbard, the sword tip cutting through a piece of icy air, ruthlessly and mercilessly slashing towards the black-clothed person in front of him.
Looking at the sword shadow mixed with oppressive wind sound, the black-clothed man quickly formed a hand seal with both hands. He lightly shouted: "Cold Ice Rain!"
The white icy mist in front of the black-clothed man suddenly surged rapidly, causing the entire space to tremble, and then a sheet of hailstones poured down from the sky, covering Lu Zhong.
Hail brought a sharp whistling sound, the space temperature plummeted, and the surrounding valleys were instantly frozen into a sheet of ice.
"Hmph, give me a break." Lu Zhong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then his foot suddenly stomped on the ground. With a loud energy explosion, his body violently shot up, carrying a scorching aura. The long sword in his hand drew a sword move in mid-air, and then flew out of his hand.
The sword's edge tore through the icy air, and then transformed into hundreds or thousands of edges in mid-air. The sword's edge ripped through the air, but a faint flame was hidden within, instantly bursting out and enveloping the black-clothed man.
"Hmm... "
A burst of hail and sword shadows collided, sending a blast of flames shooting into the air, and then countless hailstones and sword shadows all vanished into thin air.
"It's no wonder you're the third son of the Lu family, come again." The black-clothed man's hand seal changed once more, and he looked at Lu Zhong with some surprise. His palm prints intersected, and in an instant, countless shards of ice covered the sky and enveloped Lu Zhong.
Among the shattered ice, under the radiant light, it appears to be a colorful and dreamy fantasy, but at this moment, it is a deadly sharp weapon. The surroundings of the shattered ice are all sharp edges, which are incredibly powerful under the control of true energy.
"Good, but you're still a bit short." Lu Zhong let out a light drink, and the temperature around him suddenly soared. At the same time, a flame enveloped his body, and the surrounding space was filled with an icy aura that seemed to vanish into thin air.
Flames danced, finally turning into a sea of fire that enveloped the entire space. The flames leapt and burned, filling the space with a continuous hissing sound. The entire space was a superimposition of ice and fire, suddenly becoming wonderfully strange.
The land in the middle of his hand changed, and the flames all over his body became even more intense, burning away the cold ice air, turning into large clouds floating in the sky.
"Go." After clearing away the shattered ice, Lu Zhong's figure burst into a ring of flames and shot up into the sky. His sword shadow fiercely slashed towards the black-clothed man.
The man in black retreated several steps, his hand seal released, and a chilling aura emanated from his body. At the same time, a massive ice shield condensed in front of him.
"Boom..." Lu Zhong swung his sword straight down, and under the shadow of the sword, there were fierce flames stirring.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out on the icy shield, and at the same time, several small ice blocks fell instantly, followed by the entire icy shield cracking and shattering. After the shattered ice hit the ground, it instantly turned into white mist and disappeared.
"Hmph..."
At this time, the man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, and the black veil covering his face also turned red, his body staggering backward several steps.
"The Lu family's Old Three lives up to his name. Farewell." The man in black finished speaking and instantly vanished into the distance.
Lu Zhong gazed at the back of the black-clad man, and didn't intend to chase after him again. His strength was only slightly superior, and it wouldn't be easy to kill him if he were to pursue. His gaze then shifted to Lu Shaoyou, fearing that this might be the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from its mountain.
"Are you okay?" Lu Zhong gazed at Lu Shaoyou for a long time before finally squeezing out these words.
"It's all right, I won't die." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, and for the late Lu Shaoyou, Lu Shaoyou didn't have a good impression of this father either.
"Be more careful next time, it's better not to leave the Lu family." Lu Zhong let out a light sigh, as if his son's reaction was already within his expectations.
"It's all right, I'll leave then." Lu Shaoyou said as he left the backyard with Xiaolong. This kind of father wasn't worth having anyway, he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, so why bother acknowledging him.
Gazing at Lu Shao's back, Lu Zhong's expression turned gloomy. After a moment, watching Lu Shao walk far away, he vanished into the rear mountain.
"Xiao Long, are you okay?" Lu Shao Yu held Xiao Long in the palm of his hand, worried sick that Xiao Long might have gotten hurt.
"Hehe!" Xiao Long Xinzi affectionately stretched out on Lu Shaoyou's hand, his small head and shiny black eyes looking at Lu Shaoyou with excitement, nodding slightly as if he could understand what Lu Shaoyou was saying.
"Nothing's wrong?" Lu Shaoyou was suspicious, that black-clothed person's strength had at least reached the Wu Bo level, Xiao Long was knocked flying twice and yet nothing happened, this defensive power was truly strong.
"Little Master Shaoyou."
"Have met Young Master Shao Yu."
Returning from the backyard, he met many servants along the way. At this time, these servants were all respectful and courteous, one by one calling him "young master". Lu Shao was offering sacrifices to his ancestors in the clan, and all the servants also thought that this original useless young master had now returned to his roots.
Lu Shao nodded slightly and naturally didn't bother with these servants, immediately returning to the courtyard.
"Hurry up and give me some strength."
"This was the young master's favorite before, don't damage it."
Lu Xiaobai's voice Lu Shaoyou had already heard outside the courtyard, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately walked into the courtyard, only to see more than ten servants moving out a lot of things from the courtyard.
"Xiao Bai, what are you doing?" Lu Shaoyou asked in surprise with a sinking expression.
"Master, Madam says she wants to move to the front yard," said Lu Xiaobai.
"Move back to the front yard, stop bothering me and move everything back." Lu Shaoyou said as he quickly walked into the courtyard.
"Mom, I don't want to move to the front yard, it's fine for us to live here." Lu Shaoyou walked into the small hall and saw that his mother and Lu Wushuang were packing up some miscellaneous items.
"Shao You, I also think this is quite good, but just now your aunt came to find me, what she said was right, you must move to the front yard." Luo Lan said.
"Daughter, we'll just live here then." Lu Shaoyou helped Luo Lan sit down, thinking to himself that it seemed he didn't recognize his own ancestors, the Lu family had tried every means to persuade his mother.
"You silly child, your great aunt said that you are in danger, it's safer for you to stay in the front yard. You can't live in the backyard anymore. And, as you know, letting you recognize your ancestors has always been your mother's wish. Listen to me, okay? It's all for your mother's sake." Roland said, holding Lu Shao's hand.
"Mother, the Lu family treats you like this and you still help them. We don't need to rely on the Lu family, our son will be able to support you in the future." Lu Shaoyou said, it seems that the Lu family has been saying a lot of things in his mother's ear.
"Shao You, I know you have some grievances towards the Lu family, but things are complicated here. For your own safety, just move to the front yard, okay? Besides, the blood that remains on your body is still from the Lu family. Recognizing your ancestors and returning to your roots is also something you should do. Let's consider it as fulfilling Third Aunt's wish."
"What about her status as a wife?" Lu Shao Yu gazed at Lu Wu Shuang and asked.
"This......" Lu Wushuang was speechless for a moment. Father had never mentioned Third Aunt before, and he also knew that this was a difficult topic.
"Less roaming, mother doesn't mind, as long as I see you're fine, that's all. Besides, this time mother will move to the front yard with you too, and from now on, mother will enjoy happiness with you." Luo Lan said lightly, her eyes already full of satisfaction.
"Mother..." Lu Shao didn't know what the Lu family and his mother had discussed, but seeing his mother's expression, he also didn't want to disappoint her. He immediately looked at Lu Wushuang and said: "Wushuang sister, please tell my uncle that if I am to acknowledge my ancestors and return to the clan, then you must agree to one condition of mine."
