I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 275 - 237: Is This What It Feels Like to Be Kept by a Rich Woman? (Part 2)

Empress Xia Mingyue stood tall, seeming only slightly shorter than Lu Xuan.

At this moment, Empress Xia Mingyue and Lu Xuan were very close, their breaths clearly audible to each other.

Lu Xuan clearly sensed the Empress’s proud softness brushing faintly against his chest, like a gentle feather, causing his heartstrings to tremble.

As she gazed at Lu Xuan, who was just a hairsbreadth away, a flash of peculiarity swept through Empress Xia Mingyue’s beautiful eyes.

Unconsciously, she raised her right hand, her wrist was as fair as frost and snow, with fingertips that seemed to emit a faint dark gleam.

She gently hooked Lu Xuan’s chin, her movements seemed extremely gentle, yet subtly carried a strength that Lu Xuan could not resist.

Lu Xuan never anticipated that Empress Xia Mingyue would behave in such a manner; he initially thought this was just an ordinary conversation between a ruler and her subject.

However, faced with this shocking change, it struck Lu Xuan’s mind like a thunderclap.

Lu Xuan felt no joy, only overwhelming fear, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

In that instant, alarm appeared in his eyes for the first time, his eyes wide with terror.

His body tensed reflexively, and threads of mysterious golden light swiftly emanated from his physique.

This was the power of Lu Xuan’s Undying and Undying Martial Arts Skill, instinctively releasing at this moment.

In other words, Lu Xuan’s body had already sensed an unprecedented danger.

Lu Zheng’s eyes suddenly shone with brilliant purple light, his figure shifting with ghostly speed.

In the blink of an eye, he had already flickered to a position ten steps away from Empress Xia Mingyue.

Lu Xuan’s speed was so fast, barely a moment passed, resembling instant teleportation, leaving only a faint afterimage that slowly dissipated.

Empress Xia Mingyue’s delicate snowy hand maintained its earlier pose, suspended in mid-air where Lu Xuan’s afterimage had been.

Her enchanting eyes shifted slightly, her once-composed and tranquil gaze suddenly filled with surprise.

On her exquisite and beautiful face, her expression momentarily froze.

Clearly, she had not anticipated Lu Xuan’s astonishing martial arts body technique.

This mysterious martial arts body technique, for a moment, left Empress Xia Mingyue unable to regain her composure.

Such a powerful martial arts body technique!

If she wasn’t mistaken, Lu Xuan’s martial arts body technique, at the moment of execution, had a hint of the power of law.

The power of the Law of Space!

This Lu Xuan, how could he, at around twenty years of age, cultivate a martial arts body technique to such a profound level?

He actually managed to cultivate a trace of the power of the Law of Space!

Unbelievable!

So terrifying!

With this in mind, she would have to temporarily adjust her original plan.

Because, Xia Mingyue herself hadn’t realized that besides his unparalleled martial talent, Lu Xuan also possessed an extraordinary comprehension capability, able to cultivate martial arts to such a level.

While Empress Xia Mingyue was startled by Lu Xuan’s martial arts body technique, Lu Xuan was equally terrified by her formidable abilities.

This Empress Xia Mingyue truly honored her title as the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The moment Empress Xia Mingyue touched him, Lu Xuan felt a long-lost presence of death.

It was that genuine sense of facing death, one that even his Undying and Undying Martial Arts Skill couldn’t heal.

This kind of power that could disregard the healing power of his Undying and Undying Martial Arts Skill and completely erase him,

only a martial artist at a certain realm could possess such capability.

Void Realm!

The Power of the Pocket World possessed by a Void Stage True Lord!

This was a terrifying power that could easily shatter the power of the heavens at the Divine Mansion Realm, and effortlessly obliterate divine sense and primordial spirit.

Could it be that before him, this Empress Xia Mingyue was indeed an existence from that mythical realm?

Void Stage True Lord?

As Lu Xuan pondered this possibility, all his divine sense power was instantly mobilized throughout his body.

He was already prepared to unleash "A Step that Stretches a Thousand Miles" again, fleeing a thousand miles away at any moment.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath, quickly calming the turbulent emotions within his heart.

Then, Lu Xuan subtly leaned forward, his movements elegant and steady, performing a bow with neither haste nor slowness, his expression unfaltering as he spoke calmly.

"Your Majesty, this humble servant lost composure just now; I ask for Your Majesty’s forgiveness."

Seeing this, Empress Xia Mingyue slowly withdrew her right hand, her gaze returning to Lu Xuan, her eyes gaining an elusive mysterious hue.

She slightly curved the corners of her lips, seemingly smiling, as she gently parted her lips: "No worries, Mr. Lu, you need not mind. My actions just now were merely due to a little appreciation for talent."

"Since Mr. Lu has accepted the martial arts competition issue, I shall also bestow this item upon you."

Empress Xia Mingyue said no more, flicking her delicate hand, a dazzling black light suddenly erupted.

Like a meteor chasing the moon, it tore through the sky, shooting straight towards Lu Xuan.

In an instant, a small black square object hovered steadily before Lu Xuan.

This black square object appeared to be only palm-sized, yet was surrounded by streams of mysterious dark energy.

A faint, elusive glow seemed to flow on its surface, like an endless black hole capable of devouring everything in the world.

"This is a Spiritual Treasure of Pocket World, Void Realm, containing a slice of void that can absorb external objects into it."

"Mr. Lu, there’s no need for me to explain further; surely you understand."

"Half a year later, don’t disappoint me."

Having said so, Empress Xia Mingyue’s visage instantly resumed that holy and dignified aura, her expression cold as ice.

Her tone was filled with uncompromising decisiveness, enunciating every word clearly.

"You may withdraw now!"

This time, Lu Xuan was cautious. First, he subtly used his divine sense to perceive the surroundings of this Void Realm item, and after determining there was no dangerous aura,

Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate any longer. Without concealing his actions, he directly reached out his hand.

At this moment, Lu Xuan’s heart was extremely excited.

This level of excitement surpassed even when he obtained that black spiritual wood from the Pocket World earlier.

This Void Realm, just from the Empress Xia Mingyue’s brief introduction, allowed Lu Xuan’s conjecture a swift confirmation.

The Void Realm, wasn’t this exactly one of the things he knew best from his past life?

One could say it was an essential spatial treasure for everyone!

Storage Ring!

It was simply the ultimate tool for murder, arson, and plundering treasures!

What Lu Xuan hadn’t anticipated was that he would one day obtain this item.

Lu Xuan quickly grasped the Void Realm tightly in his hand, promptly bowing again as he spoke.

"This humble servant thanks Your Majesty for such divine grace!"

In this sentence, there was an unreserved expression of Lu Xuan’s heartfelt gratitude.

Is this what being pampered by a wealthy patron feels like?

Lu Xuan was deeply shaken by Empress Xia Mingyue’s magnanimity.

Reflecting on his struggles in Anzhou, risking his life tirelessly for so long, the gains paled in comparison to the gifts casually bestowed by this Empress before him.

Nonetheless, gratitude aside, the speed at which Lu Xuan left the main hall could be described as lightning-fast.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan’s figure had already vanished from Empress Xia Mingyue’s sight.

Lu Xuan was afraid!

This Empress’s power was the first he encountered in his life that he couldn’t see through completely.

After leaving the main hall, Lu Xuan thought silently to himself.

Entering the palace today was the most reckless thing he had ever done, bar none.

Lu Xuan vowed never to engage in such a dangerous act again in his lifetime.

Without sufficient strength to protect himself, Lu Xuan intended not to enter the palace again and face this unfathomable Empress.

Meanwhile, the moment Lu Xuan departed the main hall.

Beside Empress Xia Mingyue, ripples began to appear in the void.

After a distortion in space, a purple light shadow gracefully emerged from the void.

As the purple silhouette solidified, a woman stepped gracefully out of the void, her flowing purple skirt swirling like a dreamlike waltz.

The woman appeared with an enchanting silhouette, every part seemed meticulously sculpted, exuding a mysterious and cool elegance.

"Zi Yao, this Lu Xuan is quite interesting; what do you think?"
