"Got injured by someone?"
"I healed all the wounds on your father. How could he have been injured by someone?"
Lu Yang asked Hua Zixuan with great surprise.
Hua Yunfeng was a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, and even at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. His skills were extraordinary. Even experts of the same cultivation level could not be his opponent, because Hua Yunfeng had been cultivating in this realm for over a decade, reaching a state of transcendence and unparalleled power.
"Mr. Lu, you may not know this, but the one who attacked my father was an expert from the Four Directions Pavilion, a practitioner at the half-step Divine Realm with heaven-defying skills!"
Hua Zixuan quickly explained.
"Half-step Divine Realm?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang's brow furrowed. In his experience, the most powerful experts he had encountered were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. He had never met anyone at the half-step Divine Realm before. He hadn't expected to encounter such an expert when he came to the Hua family in Zhonghai this time.
"What kind of organization is the Four Directions Pavilion?"
Lu Yang continued to ask.
"The Four Directions Pavilion was once a secret organization in China. Like the Hongmen, it flourished during the Republic of China era. However, after the establishment of New China, Grandmaster Ye Wentian of China eradicated these organizations. At that time, Ye Wentian fought the楼主 (Louzhu) of the Four Directions Pavilion, Mo Qingyun, for three hundred rounds under a dark and chaotic sky. He eventually defeated Mo Qingyun, who fled China in disarray. This escape lasted for over thirty years, and I never expected him to return now!"
"The Four Directions Pavilion was originally in Zhonghai. Now, the top aristocratic family in Zhonghai is our Hua family. The楼主 of the Four Directions Pavilion, Mo Qingyun, harbored animosity towards our Hua family. He invited my father to meet at Taihu Lake. Unfortunately, my father's skills were inferior, and he was defeated by Mo Qingyun. If not for Mr. Lu having previously treated my father's injuries and given him a spiritual medicine, my father might have died during that previous confrontation!"
"Our Hua family will be eternally grateful for Mr. Lu's great kindness!"
Hua Zixuan said to Lu Yang with emotion.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Take me to see your father!"
Lu Yang said directly.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Hua Zixuan immediately led Lu Yang to the Hua family villa. In a spacious room, an old man lay on the bed, his life force already scattered. It was evident that this battle had once again severely injured Hua Yunfeng. Hua Yunfeng's internal injuries were supposed to take half a month to heal, but the楼主 of the Four Directions Pavilion did not give him this opportunity. Instead, he easily defeated Hua Yunfeng, worsening his internal injuries.
"Father, Mr. Lu is here!"
Hua Zixuan walked to Hua Yunfeng's side and called out softly.
"Mr. Lu?"
Upon hearing the name, Hua Yunfeng immediately opened his eyes and tried to sit up, enduring the pain.
"Lie down. Your internal injuries have worsened. If I hadn't arrived in time, you might have been dead in a few more days!"
Lu Yang said indifferently.
"Alas, Mr. Lu, I apologize. My skills were inferior!"
Hua Yunfeng's old face flushed red, and he spoke with difficulty.
"It's not your fault. Your opponent is at the half-step Divine Realm. Even if you had recovered, you wouldn't be his match!"
"Let me first tend to your injuries."
After speaking, Lu Yang once again used the Nine Revolutions Life-Returning Needles, stabilizing the injuries within Hua Yunfeng's body. A portion of the spiritual elixir within Hua Yunfeng had not been fully digested, and Lu Yang, using his medical skills, helped him absorb the remaining medicinal power. His injuries gradually began to heal, which made Hua Yunfeng extremely excited. Everyone in the room, including Shen Yiman, was shocked to the core.
They had never seen Lu Yang save someone before. Witnessing it this time was truly miraculous. His skills were like those of a divine physician.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving this old man's life once more!"
"I have no way to repay your great kindness!"
"All Hua family members, hear my command! From now on, Mr. Lu is the great benefactor of the entire Hua family. Anyone who sees Mr. Lu must show him more respect than they show me!"
Hua Yunfeng roared.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"Something bad has happened! Someone from the Four Directions Pavilion has come to provoke us!"
At this moment, a young disciple of the Hua family rushed in, shouting in panic.
"What? The Four Directions Pavilion is determined to exterminate our Hua family? They have already severely injured two of our Hua family's top experts in two consecutive days, and now they dare to provoke us again!"
Hua Zixuan's eyes blazed with anger upon hearing this.
"Which expert from the Four Directions Pavilion is it this time?"
Hua Yunfeng managed to suppress his anger and asked the disciple.
"It's Lei Bao, the second disciple of the楼主 of the Four Directions Pavilion. He is said to be a Grandmaster of Martial Arts with extremely powerful Qi. He is invincible among peers!"
The disciple quickly replied.
"Zixuan, you will fight this time!"
Hua Yunfeng looked at his son, Hua Zixuan, and said directly.
"Yes, Father!"
Hua Zixuan quickly agreed and was about to go out to meet the challenge, but Lu Yang stopped him.
"Wait a moment. Use my bone sword, and you will surely be able to defeat this person!"
Lu Yang, realizing that Hua Zixuan was also a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, handed his bone sword to Hua Zixuan as a precaution.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Hua Zixuan thanked him profusely, took the bone sword with both hands, and walked out.
At the entrance of the Hua family villa, a burly man stood with his hands clasped in front of him, exuding an air of arrogance.
"My master said that if your Hua family loses today, you will all have to get out of Zhonghai. Otherwise, my master wouldn't mind slaughtering your Hua family with his own hands!"
Lei Bao looked at Hua Zixuan, who had come to meet him, and said coldly.
"You insolent boy, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Hearing this, Hua Zixuan was instantly enraged. He gripped his ancient sword and attacked Lei Bao.
Lei Bao, however, did not take Hua Zixuan's attack seriously. He also drew a treasure sword and engaged Hua Zixuan in a fierce battle.
The power of the bone sword was immense. Even ordinary spiritual artifacts were no match for it. Although the bone sword could not unleash its full potential in Hua Zixuan's hands, it was still sufficient to deal with Lei Bao. Soon, the bone sword clashed with Lei Bao's sword. With a clang, Lei Bao's sword was cleanly severed by the bone sword.
Seizing the opportunity, Hua Zixuan kicked Lei Bao in the chest, intending to send him to the ground. However, Lei Bao dodged the kick and landed a punch on Hua Zixuan's chest, sending him flying back.
"Hmph, Hua Zixuan, even with a top-grade spiritual artifact in your hand, you are still no match for me because the gap in our strength is too great. I have honed my martial arts for thirty years and have killed countless people. You are merely a flower grown in a greenhouse. How can you compare to me?"
Lei Bao snorted and attacked Hua Zixuan again.
