Chapter 29: First Battle: The Power of the Talisman Treasure!

With the boost from the Lightness Talisman, Lu Changsheng moved swiftly, light as a swallow and quick as the wind.

Halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard noises behind him.

He turned to look.

He saw three figures wearing conical hats, moving like the wind, rushing down the mountain.

Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, his face darkening.

Had he been targeted?

This was Lu Changsheng’s first thought.

How else could it be such a coincidence?

He hadn’t met anyone on his way up the mountain.

Now, as soon as he started down, three people were rushing down together, in such a hurry.

Moreover.

Though the three figures wore conical hats, hiding their faces.

Lu Changsheng vaguely remembered one of them, a burly figure in a yellow robe.

He seemed to recall someone like that buying talismans from him.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was six or seven tenths sure these three were after him.

Damn, he had been so careful and restrained, only selling a few talismans, yet he’d still been targeted.

A shadow crossed Lu Changsheng’s face.

Without hesitation, he took out a Mid-Tier Wind Walking Talisman and activated it with his Qi.

Instantly, a swirl of dark wind enveloped him, making him as swift as the wind.

He shot forward like lightning, his cloak flapping wildly, blowing off his hood, the wind stinging his face.

“A Wind Walking Talisman?”

“This kid even has Mid-Tier talismans!”

“He must be loaded to sell so many talismans!”

The three pursuing Lu Changsheng saw this, their eyes lighting up as they sped up.

In their eyes, Lu Changsheng was now a fat sheep ready for slaughter!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

After racing a distance, Lu Changsheng saw the three behind him also speed up, not falling behind at all, even getting closer. His face darkened.

At this point, he knew without a doubt these three were after him, intending to rob and kill.

Moreover, even with a Lightness Talisman and a Wind Walking Talisman, he couldn’t shake them off.

This meant the three were much stronger than him.

At least at the sixth or even seventh level of Qi Refining.

“If I can’t run, I’ll have to fight!”

Lu Changsheng knew running wasn’t the answer, it would only waste energy. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, his arm hidden under the black cloak pulled out a handful of talismans from his Storage Bag, at least ten or twenty.

At the same time, he gripped the ‘Golden Light Brick’ Talisman Treasure tightly, constantly looking back at the three closing in as he ran.

“Fellow cultivator, please stop.”

“Friend, why run so fast? I just want to get to know you, make friends.”

“That’s right, we just want to be friends.”

The three pursuers called out as they chased relentlessly, getting closer.

“Make friends, huh? I love making friends.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng stopped, looking coldly at the approaching trio.

The moment the three entered spell attack range, Lu Changsheng activated all the talismans in his hand.

Instantly, the talismans burst with light.

Some talismans, under Lu Changsheng’s spiritual control, turned into faint golden light, water screens, and vines, enveloping him.

Most talismans turned into fist-sized fireballs, water globes, arm-thick arrows, sharp crescents…

All hurtling towards the three pursuers with a whoosh.

“Not good!”

“Be careful!”

“This kid actually has so many talismans!?”

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s move, using so many talismans at once, the three were shocked, caught off guard.

They were all at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, but facing so many talisman attacks at once was hard to handle.

But they were all old hands in the jianghu.

They wouldn’t dare be robbers without some skill.

One of the thin figures also took out several talismans, activating them and quickly casting a spell, yellow light flashing in his hand.

“Earth Wall Technique!”

Heavy earthen walls rose quickly from the ground, blocking the oncoming talisman attacks.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

But under the fierce barrage of talismans, the earthen walls were quickly demolished.

Just as the last walls were about to crumble, a tall, thin figure among the three brought out a black shield.

The shield flew from his hand, quickly growing larger, spinning in the air, emitting a dark, mysterious light, bearing the brunt of the fierce talisman attacks.

The last of the three, the burly man in the yellow robe, brought out a flying knife several inches long.

The knife turned into a white rainbow, flying straight for Lu Changsheng’s brow.

However, at the same time.

They sensed an astounding aura emanating from Lu Changsheng.

They saw Lu Changsheng’s black cloak billowing without wind, golden light bursting from his hand.

A golden, rectangular object shot out from his hand, rapidly growing larger in the air.

It even made the incoming flying knife slow down.

And they sensed the astounding aura and Spiritual Energy coming from this object!

“This kid is really loaded, not just lots of talismans, but even such a treasure. We’ve struck it rich!”

The thin man saw this, his eyes gleaming with joy.

However, the burly man in yellow who had thrown the knife, seeing the rapidly expanding golden brick, his pupils contracted as he recognized its origin.

“A Talisman Treasure!”

He shouted urgently, his deep voice filled with fear.

“What!?”

“A Talisman Treasure?”

The other two were stunned hearing this.

Looking at the golden brick in the air, now as big as a house, like a small mountain, their pupils dilated, faces filled with terror.

Before they could think further, the golden brick, surrounded by Qi, radiated golden light, emitting a terrifying pressure.

The three felt as if bearing a mountain, their bodies sinking, Qi stagnating, unable to move.

Danger!

Great danger!

At this moment, the three clearly felt the shadow of death enveloping them. They cried out together, begging in terror.

“Friend, let’s talk this over!”

“Spare us, please! I was wrong, I was blind…”

“Great sir, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. Please, withdraw your divine power and let me go!”

At this moment, they felt it was absurd.

Utterly absurd, absurdity opening doors for absurdity, absurdity to the extreme.

A cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, coming to such a small place for a trading fair, actually had a Talisman Treasure!

This was fucking absurd.

If you had a Talisman Treasure, why run?

If you had just shown the Talisman Treasure, how would we dare chase you?

We’d have turned tail and run, even apologized.

Who uses a Talisman Treasure without a word?

Isn’t it a waste to use a Talisman Treasure on people like us!?

Are we worthy!?

At this moment, the three were speechless.

The pressure from the golden brick left them unable to speak.

The house-sized golden brick came crashing down on the three.

“BOOM!!!”

An earth-shattering sound rang out, making the entire Bull Head Mountain seem to shake violently.
