Chapter 267: With Elder Lu Here, Tonight Is Settled!

“Puff puff puff—”

The River and Sea Crossbow in Lu Miaoge’s hand flashed wilddy, emitting a deep blue light that pierced through the black smoke face in the night sky, scattering it.

But the black smoke was incredibly dense. As soon as it was scattered, it quickly reformed and continued its assault on Lu Miaoge..

“Ice Sealing Talisman!”

Seeing this, Lu Miaoge’s expression tighteeed slightly. She knew the River and Sea Crossbow alone wouldn’t be enough to defeat her opponent.

She took out a Second-Tier Ice Sealing Talisman. Instantly, a chilling aura enveloped the area, sweeping towards the black smoke face to freeze it solid.

Faced with the Ice Sealing Talisman, the black smoke face became frosted and moved more sluggishly.

“Water Dragon Technique, True Water Dragon Formation!”

Seeing this, Lu Miaoge immediately formed and seals, casting an advanced spell from the Supreme Kindness Water Technique.

The spiritual energy within her body and the surrounding area gathered and surged, causing a swirl of water vapor to form above her head. It gradually took the shape of a lifelike miniature water dragon.

“Xiaolan, stay back!”

On the other side, the gaunt old man faced Lu Changsheng’s Flying Sword and Second-Tier Spirit Talisman, his voice harsh and grating.

As he spoke, two black chains suddenly shot out from his sleeves, like two vivid black snakes with flickering tongues.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

One of these black chains aimed for the Flying Sword, while the other targeted the Thunder Fire Talisman.

“Clang!”

The black chain collided with the Flying Sword, producing a metallic ringing sound.

Then, like a pitch-black spirit snake, the chain tightly coiled around the Flying Sword, emitting a sharp, grating “crack crack crack” sound.

The other chain, moving like a frenzied python, danced wildly. Countless jet-black runes flashed on its surface, wearing down and dispersing the thunder and flames produced by the Thunder Fire Talisman.

“You’ve got some skill.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, recognizing that this gaunt old man was quite capable.

He tapped his Spirit Beast Bag, releasing his Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

Now that the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm had advanced to the second grade, he wanted to see the specific combat power of this spirit insect.

Moreover, if he could resolve the battle easily this way, he didn’t want to expend too much of his own power.

“Whoosh!”

As soon as the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm appeared, it spread its wings, transforming into a bloodthirsty, fierce golden light that suddenly rushed towards the gaunt old man.

“What is this!?”

Faced with this golden light, the gaunt old man’s eyes twitched slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Not daring to be careless, he quickly formed hand seals, summoning a small dark green shield.

A green light screen shot out from the dark green shield, enveloping both the gaunt old man and Tao Xiaolan within it.

“Bang!!!”

A violent impact sound rang out.

The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm directly collided with the dark green shield, causing it to slightly dent inward.

“Hiss, what a tough body. What kind of spirit insect is this!?”

Seeing this, the gaunt old man looked at the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, his eyelids twitching again.

He immediately formed hand seals, sending one of the chains towards the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

After this collision, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was clearly angered. Ignoring the black chain completely, its body erupted with golden light, growing to the size of a golden dipper, and continued to fiercely ram the dark green shield.

“Not bad. Slash!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, then joined his two fingers and pointed at his Spirit Tool.

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

The spirit sword, which was entangled by the black chain, immediately began to vibrate wildly. Waves of sharp sword qi burst out, breaking through space and rushing towards the gaunt old man.

“Not good!”

Seeing this, the gaunt old man produced a white banner. He formed hand seals, and streams of white mist flew out from it, transforming into layers of white walls.

Meanwhile, the small water dragon above Lu Miaoge’s head took shape..

The water dragon visibly grew larger at an astonishing speed, transforming into a majestic being with prominent horns, azure scales, and an aura of divine authority.

“Water Dragon’s Chant!”

Lu Miaoge formed hand seals, er demeanor as fluid as water.

“Roar—”

In an instant, the water dragon raised its head and roared, emitting a long, deep dragon’s cry filled with vast and magnificent energy.

The dragon’s cry seemed to be composed of thousands of syllables, surging forth in great waves, forming gusts of wind that swept towards the black smoke face.

“Puff puff puff—”

Under the onslaught of this dragon cry windstorm, the black smoke face formed by the Seven Killing Wolf Smoke was continuously cut, torn, and scattered, unable to maintain its form.

“How is this possible!?”

Seeing this, Fang Yu’s eyes showed surprise.

It’s worth noting that his ‘Seven Killing Wolf Smoke Gourd’ was an extremely powerful Spirit Tool.

When he had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, he had relied on this Gourd to escape from a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But now, Lu Miaoge had actually brokennthrough his Seven Killing Wolf Smoke with a single spell.

“Seven Killing Wolf Smoke, Celestial Wolf Howls at the Moon!”

Fang Yu’s eyes turned fierce. He formed hand seals, circulating his spiritual power to make the scattered wolf smoke in the sky reconverge, intending to form a Seven Killing Celestial Wolf.

“Water Dragon Technique! Break!”

Lu Miaoge formed hand seals, ausing the water dragon in the sky to roar, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it charged directly at the reconverging black smoke, tearing it to shreds.

The water dragon’s body shimmered with rippling light, surging with azure water vapor, vaporizing much of the black wolf smoke.

“Awooo—”

As the wolf smoke was being vaporized by the water dragon, a series of ghostly wails and wolf howls rang out.

“Not bad.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s face broke into a smile.

Although he had a general idea of Lu Miaoge’s strength,,

He wasn’t clear about her specific combat abilities.

Through the Water Dragon Technique before him, he gained a clearer understanding.

“Seven Luminaries Sword Qi, kill!”

He turned his attention back to his opponent, the gaunt old man.

The Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp in his dantian flickered, and endless sword qi burst forth from his palm, transforming into strands of sharp sword energy that rushed towards the gaunt old man.

Faced with such a fierce assault, the gaunt old man could only defend using his dark green shield and white banner.

“Damn it! Didn’t she just break through to Foundation Establishment not long ago? How can a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a small family have such power!?”

Fang Yu’s face turned gloomy and ugly.

He hadn’t expected that not only would his Seven Killing Wolf Smoke be broken, but this Spirit Tool might even be destroyed here.

He glanced to the side and noticed that his fourth brother was being suppressed by Lu Changsheng, only able to constantly defend. His expression became even more unsightly.

He had come here with a condescending attitude, intending to toy with them while taking revenge.

But now, just as the revenge was beginning, his side was being overwhelmed, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated and angry.

He felt like a complete fool.

“Xiaolan, send a message to Big Brother and Second Brother!”

Fang Yu transmitted a message to Tao Xiaolan.

Although he was frustrated and angry, he knew he couldn’t let pride get in the way in this situation.

While he still had some trump cards, it was clear that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge were not simple opppnents and likely had other methods up their sleeves as well.

“Yes, Brother Yu.”

Tao Xiaolan had long noticed that their side was at a disadvantage and wanted to send a message for help.

However, considering her dao partner’s feelings and Big Brother’s previous instructions, she hadn’t immediately sent the message.

“Hmm, are they calling for reinforcements?”

Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense was keen, and he noticed Fang Yu transmitting a message to Tao Xiaolan.

Although he couldn’t hear the content of their message, seeing Tao Xiaolan take out a Communication Talisman, he guessed they were calling for help.

“Sister Miaoge, let’s end this quickly.”

Lu Changsheng transmitted a message to Lu Miaoge..

“Oh? Alright!”

Hearing this, Lu Miaoge didn’t hesitate. Shh formed hand seals and said, “Water Dragon Technique! Sword Qi Like Water!”

In an instant, the water dragon roared, unleashing sharp sword qi towards Fang Yu.

Her Supreme Kindness Water Technique, due to Lu Changsheng’s Taiyi Dao Seed, had gained an additional spell that could transform water into sword qi.

Then she tapped her Storage Bag, taking out the Second-Tier top-quality talisman Lu Changsheng had given her.

“It’s a pity that the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp and True Yang Five Elements Sword were used in public at the Red Leaf Market City before. It’s not convenient to use them now, otherwise why waste so many talismans?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the gaunt old man and sighed inwardly.

Then he took out three Second-Tier talismans and threw them at the gaunt old man.

Meanwhile, in a small courtyard.

The burly man in red robes and the bald man were observing the battle situation.

“These two are quite extraordinary. This Lu Changsheng not only has shocking strength, but he even has a Second-Tier spirit beast. The inheritance he received must be far more than just Talisman Making!”

“That little girl is also something. Fang Yu’s Seven Killing Wolf Smoke Gourd can hold its own against mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now it’s no match for that little girl.”

The bald man rubbed the scar on his head as he spoke.

“The combat prowess of these two is indeed extraordinary. I’d believe it if you told me they were disciples from a major sect. They’re nothing like the useless Foundation Establishment cultivators from small families!”

The burly man in red robes said.

As he spoke, a Jade Talisman that flickered on and off appeared in his hand.

“Oh, they’re calling for help so soon.”

The burly man in red robes sneered, “Since Fang Yu doesn’t want to play, let’s make our move. These two must have great fortune. If we capture them, we’ll have a big haul this time.”

“This Fang Yu kid really has quite the luck and opportunity.”

The bald burly man grinned viciously, “He got lucky inheritance from a Golden Core cultivator’s Cave Dwelling before. Now we’ve come here with him and encountered such a great opportunity.”

“Hahaha, indeed. This kid is truly a lucky star.”

The two men laughed heartily, then soared into the sky, turning into streaks of light flying towards the commercial street.

“Whoa, this Lu Family ancestor from Qingzhu Mountain is quite powerful. I heard she only broke through to Foundation Establishment a few years ago, yet she already has such combat prowess!”

“Not just her, this Bihu Mountain Lord also broke through to Foundation Establishment only a few years back.”

“I heard before that this Bihu Mountain Lord relied on Talisman Formations to kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators. I thought his combat power was all from talismans, but I didn’t expect his actual fighting skills to be so extraordinary.”

“That’s right. With Elder Lu here, tonight is settled!”

In the Market, many people watched the battle in the commercial street from afar.

Though they didn’t dare to get close, they could still see the general situation.

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge having a clear uppee hand, their worried hearts eased.

“Wait, what’s going on? Why are there two more Foundation Establishment cultivators?”

Just then, someone suddenly saw two streaks of light appear, flying towards the commercial street.

“These two Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t also be bandits, right?”

“Most likely they are.”

“Doesn’t that mean this group of bandits has four Foundation Establishment cultivators?”

“No wonder they dared to attack the Market directly! There are still bandits interfering with the Market’s grand formation!”

“It’s over, it’s over!”

“Hope this Elder Lu can still set up a Talisman Formation to kill the bandits!”

Many cultivators saw the two flying lights rushing fiercely towards the commercial street, and their hearts instantly sank.

After all, besides the Four Major Families arranging Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard it, the Hongye Valley Marketplace had no other Foundation Establishment cultivators residing there.

The sudden appearance of two Foundation Establishment cultivators now clearly meant no good. They were most likely accomplices of the bandits.

Ninety percent of the people in the Market had never seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator before. Tonight, seeing so many at once left them dazed.

At this moment, in the commercial street district.

“Boom boom boom!”

Lu Changsheng activated a Thunderfire Wuwang Talisman, turning it into endless heavenly thunder and earthly fire, rushing towards the gaunt old man.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, the gaunt old man was at his wit’s end.

He hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng, who had only broken through to Foundation Establishment a few years ago, to have such fierce combat power and even possess Second-Tier top-quality talismans. He was no weaker than a true disciple of an immortal sect.

He fully activated his dark green small shield, forming a dark green light dome.

A white banner beside him fluttered wildly, continuously releasing rolling white mist, forming layer upon layer of barriers around him.

“Brother Yu!”

Tao Xiaolan hid behind the old man, trembling, only able to pray for her older brothers to come quickly.

“Damn it!”

Seeing this scene, Fang Yu’s face turned extremely ugly.

Looking at the rolling thunder and fire, he gritted his teeth and took out a thick talisman of reddish-yellow color.

Activated by spiritual power, this talisman emitted a surging and powerful aura.

“That’s a Talisman Treasure. Be careful, Sister Miaoge!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng immediately warned.

He thought to himself that this Fang Yu really had great fortune, even possessing a Talisman Treasure.

He immediately threw out two more Thunderfire Wuwang Talismans, intending to kill the gaunt old man and Fang Yu.

“Hmm?”

Just then, he suddenly sensed two auras shooting towards this direction.

“Late Foundation Establishment stage, and two of them!?”

Lu Changsheng turned his head to look, his expression slightly tightening.

He hadn’t expected these bandits to hide so deep, actually having two late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

No wonder they dared to do such an arrogant and childish thing as sending a clock.

Because they indeed had the strength and confidence!

“Looks like I can’t save these talismans today. I hope you won’t disappoint me and make me lose money.”

Lu Changsheng muttered in his heart. The two Thunderfire Wuwang Talismans in his hand activated, endless heavenly thunder and earthly fire appeared, surging and rushing towards Fang Yu and the gaunt old man.

“Boom boom boom——”

Faced with such a surging and powerful attack, the gaunt old man’s dark green light dome and the white mist spread by the white banner could hardly hold on. They were swallowed up by the endless thunder and fire.

“Brother Yu!”

A shrill cry rang out from within the thunder and fire.

“Xiaolan!”

Fang Yu’s eyes turned red, remembering the scene of his parents’ tragic death ten years ago.

“Screech!”

Just then, the reddish-yellow talisman in his hand activated. Accompanied by the cry of a divine bird, it turned into a golden ring engulfed in flames.

The golden ring was like a Vermilion Bird divine bird, spreading its wings, flames blazing fiercely, almost burning through the dark night sky, rushing towards Lu Miaoge..

“Vermilion Bird Ring, kill!”

Fang Yu’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared, wanting to use this Talisman Treasure to kill Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng..

“Boom boom boom——”

The Vermilion Bird Ring burned everything, tearing apart the endless thunder and fire, turning into a majestic Vermilion Bird, attacking Lu Miaoge..

Faced with such an attack, Lu Miaoge was well-prepared..

A Second-Tier top-quality Golden Light Talisman in her hand turned into a dazzling golden light dome, protecting herself.

At the same time, a talisman depicting a bronze spear appeared in her hand, emitting a terrifying aura.

It was the Bronze Spear Talisman Treasure given to her by Lu Changsheng.

She also sensed two Foundation Establishment cultivators rushing over, their auras terrifying. Knowing these bandits were extraordinary, she dared not hold back at all.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh——”

After seeing the gaunt old man die, Lu Changsheng took out a folding fan that looked like it was made of jet-black refined iron.

The folding fan in his hand turned into several Nine-Nine Mystical True Lots shooting out, forming a jet-black iron armor protecting Lu Miaoge..

He saw that the Vermilion Bird Ring Talisman Treasure before him was extraordinary, a Talisman Treasure with terrifying destructive power. He worried it might harm Lu Miaoge..

At the same time, seeing the two Foundation Establishment cultivators arrive, nearly a hundred talismans emerged from his sleeve one after another, falling in all directions of heaven and earth, intending to seal off himself and Lu Miaoge..

“Boom!”

The Vermilion Bird Ring, like a golden divine bird, struck Lu Miaoge’s golden light domee causing a violent sound.

Countless flames burned on the golden light, making it instantly dim and turn into broken golden light spots.

However, just as the Vermilion Bird Ring was about to continue attacking and kill Lu Miaoge..

“Whoosh!”

A blazing golden Flying Sword shot out, bursting with endless sharp light, breaking through Fang Yu’s protective energy shield.

Fang Yu felt his hair stand on end, his mind shaken.

The next moment, his vision spun, and he saw a headless corpse.

On the neck of the headless corpse was a blazing golden Flying Sword.

“He’s the sword cultivator from back then.”

A wave of hatred, anger, and fear immediately arose in Fang Yu’s heart.

However, before he could think further, his consciousness sank into endless darkness.
