Chapter 1280 - 1280: Two Conditions

The condition proposed by the opponent is undoubtedly a threat.

But at this moment, Liu Zixuan couldn't care less about those useless things; he had to save Huzi first!

Seeing Liu Zixuan's expression change slightly, Shino Fumiki sneered, "Don't be so tense. These two conditions are not difficult for you!"

"Everyone's busy, so let's not beat around the bush!" Liu Zixuan spoke coldly.

"Sure."

Shino Fumiki raised a finger, "The first condition is for you to destroy your dantian and give me the Power of the Dragon Veins!"

Liu Zixuan's eyes widened sharply, "You actually..."

"Actually what? Actually know you possess Power of the Dragon Veins, right?" Shino Fumiki suddenly pinched a gesture with two fingers, and a familiar aura to Liu Zixuan burst forth from around him.

Upon realizing what the aura was, Liu Zixuan was initially surprised, and then suddenly enlightened.

He was utterly sure that Huzi at the deep pit's edge was fake, and the Dragon Vein power mark on his arm wasn't made by Liu Zixuan but was contrived by Shino Fumiki to confuse Liu Zixuan.

Because at this moment, the aura surrounding Shino Fumiki was also the Power of the Dragon Veins.

Of course, his Power of the Dragon Veins was notably weak and couldn't compare to Liu Zixuan's at all.

Comparing their Dragon Vein powers: Shino Fumiki's was like a dying old dragon, whereas Liu Zixuan's was like a newly matured giant dragon.

Presumably, Shino Fumiki has relied significantly on the Power of the Dragon Veins to get to where he is today, hence understanding the might of the Dragon Vein power, and for this reason, he meticulously set up such a trap to acquire the truly pure Power of the Dragon Veins from Liu Zixuan.

By then, he would be capable of reaching a higher realm with it!

No doubt, this scoundrel has indeed played a great move!

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "What about the second condition?"

Shino Fumiki sneered, "Aren't you curious where I got my Power of the Dragon Veins from?"

"You want to tell me, can I stop it?" Liu Zixuan snorted coldly.

Shino Fumiki laughed, "Nine years ago, I was just a minor elder of the outer sect of the Void Mountain Sect, and I followed the Great Elder secretly to the Star Sea to search for treasures. By coincidence, I found a vein in the Ancestral Dragon Vein of Star Sea and refined the Power of the Dragon Veins within it, which allowed me to break through to the Innate Emperor Realm overnight."

"Only then did I discover the terrifying power contained in the Dragon Vein power, so I began to hide within the Star Sea from that time onwards, trying every means to search for other Dragon Veins. But after nine years, the ones I found were all taken by you and your brothers, especially you."

While saying this, Shino Fumiki pointed at Liu Zixuan, "I don't know what kind of luck you stumbled upon, but the Dragon Vein power you acquired turned out to be the strongest one among the Ancestral Dragon Veins. From then, I vowed that one day I would snatch the Dragon Vein power from you."

Liu Zixuan shrugged, "This kind of scheme is only something people from the Witch Country can come up with!"

"Victory or defeat, if I succeed and reach the peak, no one will criticize the despicable methods I used, right?" Shino Fumiki sneered, "This relic does not tempt me much; what I truly covet is the Power of the Dragon Veins you possess. Of course, I also know your Dragon Vein power is not the purest there is!"

"..." As he spoke, Liu Zixuan frowned deeply, seeming to have understood something.

Shino Fumiki laughed loudly, "Exactly, the purest Dragon Vein power beneath the heavens isn't just power; it's the Heart of the Dragon Vein. If I am not mistaken, it is hidden deep within the Star Sea Yudou Mountain Range, correct!"

If the Ancient Ruins are the foundational treasures left within the Star Sea since ancient times, then the Heart of the Dragon Vein deep within the Yudou Mountain Range is undoubtedly Star Sea's foundation.

Because the Heart of the Dragon Vein there is formed by the fusion of the largest Bright Dragon Vein and Hidden Dragon Vein, it considerably impacts the national destiny of Star Sea and sustains the normal operations of the Star Sea Martial Realm.

Previously, Liu Zixuan only took a fragment of the Heart of the Dragon Vein and dared not take it entirely.

Now, being known by this scoundrel Shino Fumiki, perhaps the only strategy left is to kill him to protect the Heart of the Dragon Vein.

After a pause, Liu Zixuan laughed, "Are you telling me this to express your ambitions?"

"Somewhat, not entirely."

Shino Fumiki laughed, "It's so rare to meet someone I can talk to; naturally, I want to say more, especially in this Martial Realm where finding true friends is extremely difficult."

"You want me to destroy my dantian, yet still befriend me?" Liu Zixuan sneered.

Shino Fumiki waved his hand, raised a second finger, "The second condition is slightly simpler."

Then, he pointed sharply at Luo Xi, "You must persuade your girlfriend to willingly become my woman. I find her physique good; if she and I learn our Void Mountain Sect's secret techniques together, we should both be able to step into a realm above Life and Death Realm within twenty years."

Well, he said these two conditions were easy.

One is destroying Liu Zixuan, making him a cripple.

The other is persuading Liu Zixuan to let Luo Xi become Shino Fumiki's woman!

This is clearly blatant provocation.

Destroying the dantian is one thing, but he also has to hand over his woman, putting Liu Zixuan in a dire situation!

It's utter disloyalty and unrighteousness!

So after hearing these conditions, both Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi's faces sank, with killing intent surging in their eyes as anger ignited within them.

Shino Fumiki, a man with great ambition, was also vile and despicable inside.

Raising his anger-filled eyes, he fixed them on Shino Fumiki and spoke word by word, "So, you think I must agree?"

"What else?"

Shino Fumiki smiled confidently, "Liu Zixuan, I've observed you secretly for a long time; you're a deeply affectionate person who has almost several times risked placing yourself in extreme danger for those around you."

"Right now, your brother is with me, and you will certainly sacrifice yourself to save him!"

At this point, Shino Fumiki had an intriguing smile on his face, "But this indeed is quite a nice choice; not to mention yourself, if you want to protect your woman, your brother will die—a betrayal. If you push your woman out to save your brother, it's heartlessness! Tut-tut, I'm increasingly finding this game fun!"

"What if I save both my brother and woman?" Liu Zixuan's eyes burned brightly, fists already clenched tightly.
