Chapter 72: Conflict Erupts (Third Update) Please Collect

  Mo Wu Xiang was also very unhappy, he had the Treasure Seeking Mirror, which allowed him to sense where the spiritual energy was thicker. When he first arrived, he already knew that there were several places with good things, and this was the third place he found, but he didn't expect someone to get there before him. However, this Lingering Fruit was a must-have, because Mo Wu Xiang needed it to take his innate talent to the next level.

  A genius is surrounded by many halos, but only those who are never surpassed can be called geniuses. People like Mo Wu Xiang can only keep moving forward, always staying ahead of others under pressure.

  "Oh? Is that so? If you had discovered it first, would you have let me get this close?" Lu Yufeng was not going to give up the Spirit Gathering Fruit either. This fruit was a lifesaving medicine that could save one's life in times of need.

  "This was first discovered by a disciple of the Tianmo Gate, who found it before it was mature and came to inform me. I didn't expect you to take advantage of the situation." Mo Wuxiang said with a serious expression.

  "Mo Wu Xiang, as the young master of Mo Men, you're a figure to be reckoned with. What's going on? Are you trying to intimidate me?" Lu Yu Feng knew that Mo Wu Xiang was reminding him of his identity when he mentioned Tian Mo Men. However, what puzzled Lu Yu Feng was that he had been paying attention to the rear all along and hadn't noticed anyone there. In fact, this was thanks to Mo Wu Xiang's Bao Jian (Treasure Mirror). The Treasure Mirror of Tian Mo Men wasn't a simple magical artifact; it was left behind by the predecessors of Tian Mo Men over a thousand years ago, hoping that their junior disciples would live well after they were gone. It was specifically used for finding treasures, which was why Mo Wu Xiang had arrived right behind Lu Yu Feng.

  "Use force to bully people! How are you going to deal with it? Today, this Ling fruit, you have to hand it over, whether you want to or not! Hurry up and give it to me, Lord Ben will spare your dog life!" Mo Wuxiang heard Lu Yufeng say this, his face turned red with rage as he tore off his hypocritical mask, shouting loudly. After all, there was no one around, even if they robbed and killed him, who would know? Besides, such things, Mo Wuxiang had already done plenty of times before, what's the harm in killing Lu Yufeng again? You should know that in the cultivation world, it's the strong who rule.

  "Well, then I'll just have to try out the Demon Gate Young Master's methods!" Among his peers, Lu Yu Feng had never been afraid of anyone. Although Mo Wu Xiang was indeed very strong, Lu Yu Feng also wanted to test his own strength.

  Lu Yufeng stretched out his hand behind him, and the long knife suddenly appeared in his hand. Lu Yufeng pulled hard, looking as if he had just pulled the long knife from his back.

  "Huh? You think you can? Haha... Mo Wuxiang burst out laughing, looking at Lu Yufeng with a mocking gaze. A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dared to attack him?"

  "Your courage is commendable, but I don't know if you have the strength to match your courage!" Mo Wu Xiang continued to mock Lu Yu Feng.

  "Can't you see if you have the strength or not by coming up and trying, young master?" Lu Yufeng also held a long knife, with a playful smile on his face as he looked at Mo Wuxiang.

  "Hmm? Is there a problem?" Mo Wu Xiang heard Lu Yu Feng say this, and revealed a questioning expression. He didn't believe that a loose cultivator in the middle of the Foundation stage could be his opponent. Was there some kind of hidden move?

  "Hmph! Let me see how many catties you have!" No matter what the situation, Mo Wuxiang would always choose to take action. If people were to find out that the young master of the Demon Gate, facing someone of the same generation, retreated without a fight, wouldn't it be a huge joke? Mo Wuxiang leapt into the air and landed not far from Lu Yu Feng.

  "Devouring Evil!" Mo Wu Xiang let out a loud roar, and his body surged with rolling devilish energy. The devilish energy formed into a malevolent aura that could erode human flesh.

  "Hmph! You've come at the right time!" Lu Yufeng took a step back, then flashed to the left side of Mo Wuxiang. As a member of the Yu Jian Men, Lu Yufeng had already made up his mind to fight after seeing these people take action. That's why he deliberately provoked them earlier. After jumping to Mo Wuxiang's left side, Lu Yufeng raised his long knife and fiercely slashed at Mo Wuxiang, with a blade over one zhang (3.33 meters) in length shooting rapidly towards him.

  "Hmph! With this little skill, you dare to fight me?" Mo Wu Xiang's true yuan covered his fist as he threw a fierce punch at Lu Yu Feng's knife.

  "Boom!" Mo Wu Xiang's fist and the knife edge met, and a loud explosion sounded. Lu Yu Feng's knife edge was shattered by Mo Wu Xiang's one punch, and the point of contact shook up a cloud of smoke and dust, enveloping Mo Wu Xiang's entire body in it.

  "Force splits the clear sky!" Seeing Mo Wu Xiang being shrouded in smoke and dust, Lu Yu Feng made a move with his Force Splits the Clear Sky, fiercely chopping towards Mo Wu Xiang within the smoke and dust.

  "Hum!" Lu Yufeng's sword sliced down, unimpeded, and struck the ground.

  "Huh? Didn't hit him? What a quick reaction!" Lu Yufeng thought to himself, and another burst of smoke and dust rose up. When the smoke and dust dissipated, Lu Yufeng saw that Mo Wuxiang had already retreated behind the smoke, his hands clasped together, with a playful smile on his face as he looked at him.

  "I've said it before, with your little strength, you think you can take on the young master? It's truly laughable! However, your strength is still not bad, judging from the knife edge you just slashed out, ordinary Huayuan late-stage cultivators really aren't a match for you! No wonder you dared to make a move against me, but this is seeking death! Demon Slaughter!" Mo Wuxiang's entire body was shrouded in Demon Slaughter as he charged towards Lu Yu Feng.

  "What speed!" Lu Yufeng exclaimed, then hastily circulated his true yuan to cover his entire body, sheathing his long knife and charging towards the incoming Mo Wuxiang.

  "Hmph! Close combat, I've never feared anyone!" Although he knew the boundless power of Mo Wu Xiang's magic, Lu Yu Feng still charged at him after enveloping his body in true yuan. After all, Lu Yu Feng had never lost a close combat before!

  Lu Yu Feng's fist, which was covering the True Origin, landed on Mo Wu Xiang's fist. Lu Yu Feng felt a surge of great power transmitted to him, and he was sent flying back by Mo Wu Xiang's punch for over a dozen steps before stabilizing his body.

  "What a powerful physique! Are you a demon? No, you clearly have the aura of a human!" Mo Wuxiang also retreated seven or eight steps from the previous punch. To know that an ordinary Huayuan period shouldn't be able to knock back Mo Wuxiang at all, but Lu Yufeng relied on his thick true yuan and powerful physique to forcefully knock back Mo Wuxiang by seven or eight steps.

  "The dignified young master of the Demon Gate, is truly ignorant! Doesn't he know that humans can also cultivate their physical bodies?" Lu Yu Feng heard Mo Wu Xiang say this and retorted.

  "This is impossible! It's common knowledge that physical damage is extremely difficult to repair, unless there's a special spiritual medicine specifically for physical repair. This kind of spiritual medicine, even our Tianmo Sect doesn't have it, let alone you, a lone cultivator, how could you possibly have such resources?" Mo Wuxiang said loudly.

  "Hmph! Nothing is impossible. If we must fight, then let's fight. What's with all the nonsense? I'll leave if we don't!" Mu Feng said loudly, and then made a gesture as if he was about to leave.

  "It's not that easy to leave!" Mo Wu Xiang would never let Lu Yu Feng go so easily, the Ling Spirit Fruit had yet to be obtained, and besides, the strength Lu Yu Feng displayed earlier had already stirred up Mo Wu Xiang's fighting spirit. After all, except for the demon tribe prince Jin Yu who could take advantage of his powerful physique in close combat, Mo Wu Xiang had never feared anyone in close combat.

  Mo Wu Xiang leaped into the air and pounced on Lu Yu Feng, throwing a punch that heavily struck towards Lu Yu Feng's head. Lu Yu Feng crossed his arms to block Mo Wu Xiang's punch, but then felt an immense force transmit through him, causing his bones to ache. Lu Yu Feng was sent flying backward by this punch, but before he flew out, he kicked Mo Wu Xiang in the abdomen with one foot. Mo Wu Xiang couldn't withstand it and was also kicked flying backward. Both of them flew backward simultaneously and fell onto the ground. However, both were extremely quick to react and slapped their hands on the ground, using the force to propel themselves into the air again, charging towards each other once more.

  The two of them clashed in mid-air, with the true yuan shooting out and striking the ground, creating holes. Lu Yufeng felt his true yuan being consumed extremely quickly because Mo Wuxiang's demonic aura had a corrosive effect on true yuan. When their fists and feet met, black gas would erupt from where they touched, which was caused by Mo Wuxiang's dark aura corroding Lu Yufeng's true yuan.

  Once corroded, Lu Yu Feng will have to revolve the true yuan again to cover the corroded area, which is why Lu Yu Feng has a faster consumption of true yuan.

  The battle between Lu Yufeng and Mo Wuxiang was a spectacular one, both of them were masters of close combat, and this encounter was a clash of titans.

  Two people fought from mid-air to the ground, and from the ground to mid-air. The shadows of their fists and feet enveloped each other.

  "Boom!" Although both of them were avoiding a head-on collision, they couldn't avoid it. Lu Yu Feng and Mo Wu Xiang once again clashed with a punch, and both flew backward at the same time.

  "It's really not bad! You're a strong opponent, if you had reached the state of Huayuan Dazhuan, I might have lost already. But now, it's still you who loses!" Mo Wuxiang took out his gloves from his storage ring and slowly put them on his hands. Although he didn't want to admit it, Lu Yufeng was absolutely the strongest close combat opponent he had ever met. Jin Yu could fight against him only because of his physical strength.

  "You're also very strong, you are the strongest close combat opponent I've ever met!" Lu Yufeng said loudly.

  The two of them had been fighting until now, and they had already begun to appreciate each other's skills, but after all, an opponent is still an opponent, and the battle that needed to be finished would continue.

  "If it weren't for this moment, I would have made friends with you, but now, let's fight!" Mo Wu Xiang put on his gloves and charged at Lu Yu Feng once again.
