<h4>Chapter 404: How Dare You Be On Equal Footing With Me!</h4>


    This was the easiest breakthrough that he recently made!


    His cultivation had far surpassed people’s imagination. At the same time, he was well aware of the suppression against him from the powers of the world.


    Because of this, every breakthrough that he made had been very difficult.


    There were very few cases in which breakthroughs had beenpleted in such a natural way.


    For every breakthrough, Lu Xuan had to do his best to make it possible!


    This time, with the help of the Celestial Master Golden Pill, he was able to easilyplete the breakthrough. He sadly sighed, as he had not been able toplete such an easy breakthrough in so long.


    Also, he happened to encounter the counterattack of the Blood-clothed Tower!


    It was time to show the world what true strength was!


    Soon, the experts of various forces who had been watching the Heavenly Pce’s headquarter base saw that arge number of their experts were rushing toward Central Asia by ne. It was where the real headquarters of the Blood-clothed Tower was located.


    “The Heavenly Pce is going to counterattack!”


    “Lu Xuan himself hase out of the mountain!”


    “This time, I’m afraid there will be a struggle between two forces who were so different yet somehow simr. Although I don’t know what the Blood-clothed Tower’s trump card is, Lu Xuan clearly isn’t stupid. Besides, his strength is above those people!”


    Everyone immediately began talking about it.


    Soon, when Lu Xuan arrived at the headquarter base of the Blood-clothed Tower with a group of experts from the Heavenly Pce, those experts who had dispersed earlier began to gather again.


    When they saw Lu Xuan with a group of Heavenly Pce experts killing their way into the headquarters of the Blood-clothed Tower, many brave people quietly followed behind them.


    Lu Xuan led many experts of the Heavenly Pce as they broke into the headquarters of the Blood-clothed Tower.


    There was a vaguely dull roaring sound that sounded as if an angry wild beast was roaring.


    They directly went into the vast underground space. Lu Xuan saw that in the middle of the underground space, there was a blood pool of a few thousand square meters big.


    Countless bubbles of fresh blood could be seen as if it was about to boil.


    At that moment, they could hear the loud and clear sound of footsteps slowly heading toward them from the side passageway.


    They saw a tall middle-aged man in a suit walking out slowly, wearing a pair of sses.


    “What an honor it is for the Lord of the Heavenly Pce to pay us a visit!”


    The middle-aged man had blonde hair and blue eyes from the West, but he spoke fluent Chinese.


    “Are you Howard, the current lord of the Blood-clothed Tower?” Lu Xuan looked at the middle-aged man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He didn’t know why an organization set up by Westerners had such an oriental name as the Blood-clothed Tower.


    Considering that the Blood-clothed Tower was not built in a day or two, it was very likely that the tower lord of the first generation of the Blood-clothed Tower was Chinese. Howard then rose to power several generationster.


    The blonde middle-aged man named Howard pped his hand and slowly said, “Yes, I am the current Lord of the Blood-clothed Tower!”


    “With Pce Lord Lu here, it would be rude of me to not wee you properly!” Howard said slowly.


    “How dare you appear in front of me? You have a lot of nerve!” Lu Xuan said with a smile.


    Howard said, “I’m here today because I have a proposal I would like to discuss with Pce Lord Lu!”


    “I am a little curious as to what kind of proposal you wanted to discuss with me!” Lu Xuan smiled. “At this point, what else can we discuss after everything that’s already happened?!”


    “I want to make a deal with Pce Lord Lu. How about you let our Blood-clothed Tower go? I was the one who signed the assassination order against Pce Lord Lu before. We have paid a great price for this. Excluding the headquarters, there are only around one-tenth of experts remaining in the Blood-clothed Tower, likely even less. I believe that no matter how furious Pce Lord Lu had been, you must have calmed down by now!” Howard said faintly.


    He walked up to Lu Xuan. With each step, he paid no attention to the numerous experts from the Heavenly Pce in front of him.


    “Just like this? I don’t think it’s enough. As long as your Blood-clothed Tower still exists, I won’t be able to eat or sleep!” Lu Xuan said faintly. “Even ants like you dare to issue an assassination order against me. I think there are plenty of people in the world who doesn’t know the immense impact of such an act. It just so happens that I can use the incident to warn people in the world who doesn’t know what they are dealing with and show them how wrong they are!”


    “I know that Pce Lord Lu wants to make an example out of us, but I’m afraid our Blood-clothed Tower is not as easy to kill as Mister Lu thought. This time, we have injured some of your subordinates as a warning to Mister Lu that enough is enough. If everything stops here, it can end. I can promise you that the Blood-clothed Tower will not retaliate!” Howard said slowly, followed by augh.


    Lu Xuanughed and said, “You guys want to get revenge with just your strength? How dare a weakling like you order me around! Don’t you think it’s hrious with just your strength?”


    When Howard was faced with Lu Xuan’s words, he did not react in the slightest. He had already thought of Lu Xuan’s possible reactions and looked down on him.


    “Of course, if it’s just cultivation, I can’tpare with Pce Lord Lu who is famous all over the world. In fact, if Pce Lord Lu did note here, there would have been nothing I can do to Mister Lu!” Howard said slowly. “Here is the stronghold of our Blood-clothed Tower. You guys are not thinking that our Blood-clothed Tower is only able to defend to this extent, are you?!”


    “What else is there? I would like to see what kind of trump card you have prepared!”


    Lu Xuan crossed his arms and looked at Howard yfully. He was wondering how Howard would react.


    Roar!


    As terrible evil qi poured out from the blood pool, arge amount of fine blood floated in the air and turned into a terrifying figure.


    This figure showed the appearance of a person, but it was unclear what it looked like. Due to having absorbed the essence and blood of too many people, its appearance looked like someone formed from the people who had been killed by the Blood-clothed Tower.


    It was even possible to hear the cries of countless people. Not only were the people killed by the Blood-clothed Tower, but the blood-colored figure had also even imprisoned and used their soul.


    How miserable and deste it was!


    At that moment, Lu Xuan was finally able to see clearly what the figure was.


    Lu Xuan nodded and said, “Sure enough, it’s the same as I thought. It’s just a Blood Demon. Although it’s a monster, you’d be naive if you think that you are qualified to negotiate with me by relying on this!”


    “Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a smelly mouse in the shadows, yet you think you can be on equal footing with me and make a negotiation?” Lu Xuan shouted coldly.


    “What if you include me?!”
