Chapter 2328 Lu Hansheng
The man in purple had his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a folding fan gently pressed against his chest.
His black hair was tied up with a crown, and he exuded an extraordinary air.
His appearance was exactly like that of a noble young master who was overly concerned with his appearance.
"Fellow Daoist, we are evenly matched, and it will be difficult to determine a winner if we continue fighting. Why don't we stop?"
After this struggle, the man in purple acknowledged Shen Wuyun's strength, and his initial arrogance disappeared, making him much more humble.
Upon hearing the purple-robed man address him as "fellow Daoist," Shen Wuyun was momentarily dazed, feeling a sense of something hard-won.
"Heh, now you want to stop? Isn't it a bit too late?"
Shen Wuyun's momentum remained undiminished, showing a strong determination to continue the fight.
"My name is Lu Hansheng." Having acknowledged the other party's abilities, the man in purple changed his attitude, introduced himself, and slightly cupped his hands: "My actions just now were to test your strength, fellow Daoist. If you are not satisfied with the fight, I am ready to accompany you to the end."
Lu Hansheng was extremely arrogant towards the weak. However, he treated fellow cultivators of similar strength with courtesy.
"Then let's fight again!"
Having suffered a lot of anger, Shen Wuyun didn't want it to end like this.
Lu Hansheng calmly said, "The outcome is hard to predict, so why bother?"
"I'm happy!"
If things were to stop just like that, Shen Wuyun would feel extremely frustrated.
After speaking, Shen Wuyun, riding the Extreme Netherworld Armor, launched another fierce attack on Lu Hansheng.
Faced with this situation, Lu Hansheng had no choice but to accept the challenge.
Boom!
So the two began fighting again.
You attack, I defend; we're evenly matched.
After fighting for several hours, both sides sustained minor injuries. These injuries were hardly anything serious.
This shows that Shen Wuyun and Lu Hansheng are very similar in strength.
The key is that Shen Wuyun's Extreme Netherworld Armor is too abnormal, with extremely amazing defensive power.
Even though Lu Hansheng used his ultimate sword technique, it was to no avail.
In a secluded spot, Chen Qingyuan and the others carefully observed the fight, gaining a very intuitive understanding of Lu Hansheng's strength.
"This person's strength is above mine."
Rong Che has only recently reconstructed his physical body, and it will be an extremely long time before he can return to his peak condition. Furthermore, even at his strongest, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat these two.
Don't run away, face reality.
An existence capable of traversing the chaotic sea of boundaries unscathed is no ordinary being.
If we were to draw a line between the Emperor's Path realm and the Emperor's Path realm, then Shen Wuyun and Lu Hansheng have already entered the late stage of the realm, and the difference in their strength is very small.
Ye Liujun and Rong Che are close to the late stage of the Emperor's Path realm.
The Six-Fingered God King, hailed as the second-ranked god in the ancient era, has one foot in the pinnacle of the Emperor's Path. If he disregards the consequences, he can briefly glimpse the scenery of the Emperor's Path by burning his life essence.
"There's not much point in letting them keep fighting."
It will be difficult to determine a winner in this battle in the short term, unless they fight to the death and see whose foundation is more solid and who can grit their teeth and persevere to the end.
Should we make a move?
When Ye Liujun said this, he subconsciously looked at Chen Qingyuan.
The same applies to Dragon Emperor Rong Che and An Xiruo.
A quasi-emperor actually became the backbone of all the emperors.
This would have been utter nonsense in the past.
"Don't worry, let's see again."
Chen Qingyuan remained calm.
……
After a long and fierce battle, neither side could gain the upper hand.
Shen Wuyun felt slightly tired, and his imposing aura was no longer as fierce as before.
"Fellow Daoist, shall we continue?"
Lu Hansheng remained calm and composed throughout, gently waving the unfolded folding fan in his hand with elegant and graceful movements.
"Let's leave it at that for now."
Unable to gain any advantage, Shen Wuyun stopped wasting time, summoned the Extreme Netherworld Armor to his side, and said coldly.
"If you had shown the demeanor of a strong person from the beginning, there would have been no misunderstanding."
Lu Hansheng didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.
"I'm curious, and I have a question I'd like to ask."
Suddenly, Shen Wuyun had an idea.
Lu Hansheng: "Please speak."
Wow! They even used the word 'please'.
It seems that after this 'friendly exchange,' Lu Hansheng highly recognized Shen Wuyun's abilities and believed that he should be given the most basic respect since Shen Wuyun was on equal footing with him.
"If you encounter someone stronger than you, how would you deal with it?"
When Shen Wuyun asked this question, he had a half-smile.
There are very few beings in this world stronger than me. If I were to meet one, I should call him a senior and seek his guidance.
Lu Hansheng answered seriously.
In his understanding, the cruel world of cultivation has only three levels.
Ant, fellow Daoist, senior.
I don't need to take those weaker than me seriously; whether they survive depends entirely on my mood.
Be friendly and respectful to those of similar strength, and try to avoid making enemies. If you do become mortal enemies, then do everything in your power to kill them without hesitation.
I must never offend a senior who is stronger than me. If I'm unlucky enough to accidentally provoke them, I can only do everything in my power to avoid trouble and seek revenge when I'm strong enough. If I can't escape, I can only face death with equanimity.
"Simply put, it means striking hard against the weak and groveling before the strong?"
Shen Wuyun's words were extremely aggressive.
“No.” Lu Hansheng was not angry and patiently explained, “Respect is the way to treat the strong, not to fawn over them.”
Shen Wuyun said, "Treat them differently."
"Would you even glance at the ants in the mortal world?" Lu Hansheng lightly shook his folding fan and said again, "I think you wouldn't care about the life or death of ants, and you'd even be stained with the blood of many ants, without feeling a single ounce of pity."
"Don't go that far, you're just playing favorites against people."
Anyone who achieves success in cultivation cannot be without bloodshed. Shen Wuyun has killed countless people to reach his current position. He did not refute Lu Hansheng's statement.
"The rules and order of the universe are established by the strong. If the strong do not receive the respect they deserve, then what is the point of becoming strong?"
Lu Hansheng remained steadfast in his opinion.
He only spoke a few words to Shen Wuyun because he thought highly of him. Otherwise, he would have ignored him completely.
After all, the weak are not worthy of having an equal dialogue with him.
"Although what you said makes sense, I still don't like you."
Shen Wuyun spoke frankly.
"It's alright." Lu Hansheng said nonchalantly.
"When you face a strong opponent who is determined to kill you, and you have nowhere to escape, what should you do?"
Following this topic, Shen Wuyun raised another question.
"If I don't even have the ability to escape, then compared to others, it proves that I am an absolute weakling, and it is only natural for me to die. I should accept it calmly."
This is the worldview that Lu Hansheng established from childhood, deeply ingrained and unchangeable.
Hearing this, Shen Wuyun felt a strange sense of admiration for Lu Hansheng. However, if Lu Hansheng could maintain this persona later, then he would truly be convincing.
