Lu Dongfeng and his wife lived in the general's residence in Heiqiao City most of the time. The Lu Mansion in Taiming City was usually just the residence of the eldest young master and the young lady.
Lu Tieshan liked to dance with swords and sticks since he was a child, and he was always at home even if he was not with Lu Dongfeng. Lu Sifan was a well-behaved and easy-to-serve master since he was a child, so there were actually not many servants and maids in the entire Lu Mansion.
Now that Lu Sifan has gone to Licheng again, Lu Dongfeng and his wife are worried that their daughter's life will be inconvenient, so they send a group of servants and maids from the Taiming Lu Mansion there, so that now the entire Lu Mansion compound seems empty and deserted.
In the most remote corner of the deserted Lu Mansion, there is a small garden courtyard. When Lu Sifan was here, he would come here from time to time to prune the flowers, plants and trees with the maids to make the place look clean and tidy.
After only a few days of absence, the place is already showing signs of chaos, with weeds and branches growing haphazardly and yellow leaves scattered on the road.
Among the row of houses deep in the courtyard, the door of a house in the middle suddenly opened, but there was no one inside.
When Luo Chuan came and hesitated outside the courtyard, he saw this scene.
Beside him, Jiang Qingyun, who was wearing a blue robe, glanced towards the courtyard and stepped into the courtyard first.
Seeing this, Luochuan wanted to follow him, but as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the scenery of the entire courtyard changed!
The yard that originally looked a little desolate suddenly became vivid!
Autumn leaves are green again, dead branches are stretching again, and the already tender grass and trees are becoming brighter and brighter. Even the courtyard wall that seemed a bit gray and faded before seems to have just been painted with a layer of white paint.
It looks too clean against the sky!
Luochuan quickly took a step back, but failed to return to the courtyard. He looked back and found that he was standing in the courtyard at some point!
He immediately turned his head and looked forward. Jiang Qingyun, who was walking in front of him earlier, disappeared in the blink of an eye!
The courtyard seemed to be the same courtyard, and the heaven and earth seemed to be the same heaven and earth, but the open door in front of him seemed to be suddenly much closer. At this moment, in Luo Chuan's eyes, it looked like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, and it was so dark that the bottom could not be seen!
"Senior Qingyun?" Luo Chuan looked around and clasped his hands in front of his chest. Hot flames appeared around his body, then spun into waves of fire, rolling up like a cyclone to protect him.
But as soon as he took action, his heart sank again.
Because the fire wave of zhenqi that he has unleashed in the fifth realm of concentration cannot damage the surrounding branches and leaves at all. You must know that he once tested the power of this fire wave in the prefect's palace in Licheng. It can melt gold in an instant.
The extreme heat of iron!
Luo Chuan calmed down, glanced around, and then looked down at the ground in front of him. There were no footprints, and there was not even a speck of dust on the stone slabs in the entire courtyard. "Illusion Array..."
He glanced around again, then took a deep breath and closed his eyes. In his world, everything began to slow down, but in his perception, everything within a few feet became more real.
It's a completely different picture than what you see with your eyes.
He once again sensed Jiang Qingyun's figure in front of him, sensed the surging fire energy flowing around him, and even sensed the shallow dust footprints on the stone floor one step in front of him!
But before he could react, he was shocked!
Because in his perception, a huge cloud-like flame was falling from the sky at an extremely fast speed, with the power as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was collapsing, and it was crashing down on the courtyard where he was!!
Luo Chuan had no time to react, so he instinctively changed the movements of his hands. He held the sword formula with both hands and pointed towards the sky. The fire wave that was originally hovering around him immediately condensed into a giant flaming sword seven to eight feet long.
His finger went up against the sky, and when the huge fire cloud fell to the ground, it pierced a gap, and he could barely pass through the gap!
Then, without stopping at all, he slashed down with his raised hands. At this time, the huge flame sword that had pierced the fire cloud and showed some signs of dissipating, just like that, trailing with flames, struck deep in the courtyard with one strike.
On top of the house in the center!
"boom!"
The house was chopped into pieces by the flaming giant sword, the broken stones scattered in all directions, the broken beams began to burn, and it was a mess!
But Luochuan looked around, only to find that the scenery still seemed to be an illusion, and his attack did not break the illusion formation at all!
Just when he was feeling awe-inspiring in his heart, something changed again in this strange courtyard!
Only the sound of water suddenly sounded in the originally silent courtyard!
Luo Chuan looked for the sound and saw water emerging from the corners of the courtyard at some point, as if there were springs there!
He didn't act rashly, he just concentrated on his feelings.
I saw that the water in the four springs was getting bigger and bigger, and finally gathered into a stream, condensed into a stream, flew into the sky, and soon formed a clear pool above Luochuan's head, and it got bigger and bigger!
Luo Chuan didn't see anything from the surrounding scenery, but he couldn't wait any longer. He put his left hand on his chest and abdomen, and pointed his right hand towards the sky. A huge flaming sword that had condensed to a length of five or six feet soared into the sky.
Go, this time the flaming giant sword only stirred and rolled out a lot of waves in the clear pool, and failed to break it at all. Instead, it eliminated its own anger!...??m
Then, the shallow water of the clear pool reappeared. A strange phenomenon appeared, and green branches were poked out in the opposite direction, like willow trees, one by one, one by one, like spiritual snakes running towards Luochuan!!
At this time, Luochuan's old energy was exhausted and the new energy was not yet full. He could only push his left hand upwards. The fire energy gathered around him rolled up around the flames spurting out of his body, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with fire.
Wrapped in branches!
But the fire that could usually incinerate gold and iron only burned the branches black. Except for the ones that were too small and burned off, the rest were not affected at all. Each one seemed to be getting faster and faster, and thousands of arrows were fired at the same time.
Shoot towards Luochuan!!
Luo Chuan was shocked and instinctively wanted to use demonic energy to move his body, but the remaining reason in his heart suppressed his impulse. After only this momentary struggle, it was too late to use any other means. He put his hands on his chest.
As soon as he closed it, the fire energy inside and outside his body surged crazily, barely forming a fire cloud above his head, and then he watched helplessly as those branches penetrated the fire cloud and fell!!
“Whoosh whoosh!!”
Luochuan's heart seemed to have stopped for half a beat!
Then, the world became peaceful again.
The clear pool in the sky turned into rain, and the fire clouds above his head were blown away by the wind. Luo Chuan looked down and saw that the branches were like spears, each of which was inserted into the ground just right against his body.
Trapped him in place, unable to move.
When he looked up again, all the bright colors in the courtyard had receded. Less than a foot away in front of him, Jiang Qingyun was watching him quietly, and beside Jiang Qingyun, stood a man wearing a green robe.
