True Enemy

"Red Lotus!"

A cold shout rang out, and the space around them twisted and distorted. The black-robed leader froze in mid-air. His entire body trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What Spirit skill is this?!"

When the red light enveloped him, he felt like a majestic divine power was controlling him. Even his body no longer belonged to him, and he trembled with fear.

Fang Xuan focused all of his spiritual power on his left eye. Although the power of his Spirit skill was reduced, he could still use the "Red Lotus" once!

"Die!"

With a cold shout, surging spiritual power exploded. Blood spurted from the black-robed leader's mouth and nose, and he screamed miserably. A peak Spirit Saint died on the spot.

"How is this possible?!"

The rest of the black-robed men sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with fear. No one knew what had just happened.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was ferocious. Blood flowed from his left eye, and the Red Lotus in his eye spun rapidly. Waves of red spiritual power were released, and the remaining black-robed men were all killed!

This was the terrifying power of the red lotus. It could even affect a deity like the God of Desire. The mighty Spiritual Power directly tore apart this group of Spirit Masters. Although their bodies were still intact, their Spirits and Spiritual Power had long been destroyed. They were deader than dead.

"Did we win? Did we win?!"

Seeing this scene, Qian Renxue was in a daze, lying on Fang Xuan's back. She finally heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.

"Ah …"

At this moment, Fang Xuan suddenly knelt on the ground and screamed in pain. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was ferocious. His head felt as if a sharp weapon had stabbed it, and his entire body was in so much pain that it was twitching.

His spiritual power hadn't recovered to its peak yet, and he had forcefully used the "Red Lotus."

Although he had killed all of the black-robed men who were chasing after them, he had also been severely injured. His spiritual power had been severely damaged.

"Fang Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

Qian Renxue jumped in fright. She looked at Fang Xuan's ferocious face with worry.

"I'm fine, let's go!"

Fang Xuan gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain in his head. With the girl's help, he gradually got up from the ground and slowly walked into the distance.

They were not entirely out of danger yet. However, they had temporarily dealt with the black-clothed assassins, who knew if only this group of assassins existed. They had to leave here as soon as possible for safety's sake.

Fang Xuan was greatly improved after wiping out this group of black-robed men. Boundless Spirit Power rose from his body, and he was restored to Rank 55. He was now a Spirit King!

His first five Spirit rings had all been unlocked, and his strength had significantly increased. However, his martial Spirit had still not been unlocked.

Furthermore, his spiritual power and physical injuries were extremely severe, and it would take at least one or two months for him to recover.

The two of them supported each other as they strolled. When they passed by the corpse of the black-clothed leader, a sudden gust of cold wind caused them to shiver.

Then, the black cloth covering the leader's face was suddenly blown away by the wind, revealing an extremely ordinary face.

However, this face was so ordinary that no one would pay attention to it that it suddenly caused Fang Xuan's calm eyes to shrink.

"What's wrong?"

Qian Renxue noticed Fang Xuan's body suddenly tremble and couldn't help but look at him.

"Nothing …"

Fang Xuan shook his head and didn't say anything else.

He had seen this face before, in the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Palace…

The group of assassins came from the Heaven Dou Empire!

Fang Xuan's eyes surged with a cold light, but they said nothing. The two of them left the battlefield in the northern part of the city and walked into a forest to rest under a tall tree.

The stream gurgled, and the forest was filled with birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers.

Time passed quickly, and the sun rose from the eastern horizon without a sound. The sunlight was resplendent, and a new day had arrived!

"What should I do …" 

Qian Renxue looked at Fang Xuan, who had fainted under the tree, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.

She struggled in her heart. She felt she couldn't continue entangled with Fang Xuan like this. She wanted to take this opportunity to leave him here.

However, after hesitating, she let out a long sigh. She didn't leave Fang Xuan behind. Instead, she squatted down and patiently treated his injuries and bandaged them.

About an hour later, Fang Xuan gradually regained consciousness. The pain all over his body had lessened a lot, but it was still excruciating. He tried his best to sit up from the ground, but it affected a series of wounds, causing him to groan in pain.

At this time, he realized he had been tied up like a dumpling, like an ancient Egyptian mummy. Although all the wounds on his body had been bandaged, the bandaging technique was unflattering. Even an intern in a hospital could bandage them better than this.

Qian Renxue sat opposite Fang Xuan. She used a wooden stick to pick up a pheasant and roast it on a bonfire. She noticed that Fang Xuan had woken up. She glanced at him indifferently and said, "No need to thank me. Just treat it as returning the favor."

"What bad technique." 

Fang Xuan tugged at the messy bandages on his body and looked at Qian Renxue with disdain.

"What did you say?!" 

Qian Renxue glared at Fang Xuan fiercely. She threw the roasted pheasant in her hand at him, but the latter quickly caught it.

Qian Renxue seemed to have torn her skirt into strips and used them to bandage him. Her knee-length skirt had turned into a miniskirt. A pair of snow-white thighs were exposed in the air. Her ivory skin exuded a moving luster and looked a little dazzling.

Fang Xuan glanced at the pair of snow-white long legs. He coughed dryly and slowly turned his head away. Then, he tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Bah!" 

However, his face turned green just as the meat entered his mouth. He spat out the pheasant and rinsed his mouth with water from the nearby stream.

"Your culinary skills are damned." 

Fang Xuan's face darkened. He looked at Qian Renxue with disdain. He seriously suspected that this girl was a spoiled young lady who didn't even know how to cook.

What was this roasted thing? It was burnt. It was simply a pile of charcoal.

"Shut up!" 

Qian Renxue was furious. She tore off a piece of pheasant and stuffed it into Fang Xuan's mouth.

"Don't waste food. Eat it all. Don't leave anything behind!"

"I feel like I ate a pile of shit." 

Fang Xuan commented on the girl's culinary skills.

While the two of them were fooling around, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky. Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue's expressions changed abruptly.

"Titled Douluo!!"
