Chapter 80: Just two people in the late stage of Qi Refining dare to kill me?
“Sister Miao Ge, Miao Yun should be giving birth in a few days, so I’m planning to head back to Green Bamboo Mountain today.”
On this day, Lu Changsheng came to the spirit符 shop and said to Lu Miaoge.
He had already discussed this matter with Lu Miaoge beforehand.
He planned to go back early for these two months.
Trying to be there for the birth of Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen’s child.
“Alright, be careful on the road. I’ll watch over the shop here,”
Hearing this, Lu Miaoge nodded slightly and said softly.
After saying goodbye to Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng walked out of Nine Dragons Market alone, mounted the Iron Feather Eagle, and set off for Green Bamboo Mountain.
Just as Lu Changsheng walked out of the city gate of Nine Dragons Market.
In a nearby restaurant, a thin middle-aged man revealed a glint in his eyes and took out a message talisman from his body.
In the clouds, an Iron Feather Eagle soared.
“I hope nothing unexpected happens just because I’m going home alone, right?”
Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the Iron Feather Eagle, and couldn’t help but start to overthink.
It was fine when he was with Lu Miaoge.
Only the first time he came to Nine Dragons Market did he worry about unexpected events.
But after going back and forth twice, it was fine.
Now that he was suddenly going back alone, he couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
“Sigh, I really am a person who is afraid of death and lacks a sense of security.”
“Even with thirty-four high-grade talismans, one top-grade talisman, and a talisman treasure, I still lack a sense of security.”
Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, having a clear understanding of himself.
After the Iron Feather Eagle flew for half a day, Lu Changsheng’s uneasy heart calmed down a lot.
He felt that there weren’t so many dangers.
However, at this moment.
“Screech——”
The Iron Feather Eagle, which was shuttling through the clouds, seemed to be stimulated by something, and let out a sharp and noisy screech.
Causing Lu Changsheng, who was sitting quietly on the Iron Feather Eagle’s back, to have his heart jump.
Before he could figure out what was happening, the Iron Feather Eagle spread its wings and swooped down towards a mountain below.
“What’s going on?”
Lu Changsheng quickly grabbed the Iron Feather Eagle’s feathers to avoid being thrown off, and also took out the Iron Feather Eagle’s Beast Controlling Token.
Through the Beast Controlling Token, he could feel that the Iron Feather Eagle was conveying a sense of anxiety and unease.
As if something on the mountain ahead was attracting it.
“Could there be some natural treasures or spirit fruits ripening on the mountain?”
Lu Changsheng thought immediately.
However, he didn’t have any ideas about this.
Because the books recorded that most natural treasures and exotic fruits that ripened would have powerful demons guarding them.
It wasn’t something a weakling at the fourth level of Qi Refining like him could consider.
Lu Changsheng didn’t think much about it and immediately used the Beast Controlling Token to appease the Iron Feather Eagle, conveying the order to continue flying along the road.
The Iron Feather Eagle, which was swooping towards the mountain, paused slightly when it heard his order.
But the next moment, it let out an even more noisy cry and swooped towards the mountain ahead.
“No, this is definitely not some natural treasure ripening!”
“The Iron Feather Eagle can be considered a tamed spirit beast. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to disobey orders and lose control!”
Lu Changsheng’s face darkened, and he clung tightly to the Iron Feather Eagle, realizing something was wrong.
But faced with this situation, he didn’t know how to deal with it in an emergency.
As the Iron Feather Eagle got closer and closer to the mountain, suddenly.
“Whoosh whoosh——”
Two sounds of air being torn apart rang out.
Lu Changsheng immediately saw two rainbow-like sword lights shooting towards him.
The cold light of the sword qi flickered in the air, emitting a ‘buzzing’ sound like bees, which was frightening.
“Not good!”
At this moment, even if Lu Changsheng’s reaction was slow, he understood that he had been ambushed.
He understood why the Iron Feather Eagle had suddenly lost control.
Naturally, it wasn’t because of some exotic fruit ripening.
It was an allure incense!
A fragrance made for demons.
It can attract demons, so that the demons who don’t have much intelligence will be attracted by instinct and filled with animality.
Many cultivators who hunt demons will use allure incense to attract and hunt demons.
The situation with the Iron Feather Eagle now is likely to be affected by the allure incense.
So he can only abandon it!
“Want to run? Where are you going!”
“I’ve been squatting on you for so long, do you think you can escape!?”
Seeing Lu Changsheng use the Flying Talisman to turn around and run, two figures, one fat and one thin, immediately soared into the sky from the mountain where the Iron Feather Eagle was diving.
They stepped on a circular flying magic tool and quickly chased after Lu Changsheng.
“Driving a flying magic tool!”
“These two are both in the late stage of Qi Refining!”
Lu Changsheng’s heart sank again when he saw the two figures appear.
Knowing that with his speed using the Flying Talisman, it was impossible to outrun these two.
He immediately chose to land, preparing to escape with the Stealth Talisman.
“This kid can take out three high-grade talismans. He must have other life-saving talismans on him. We must not let him run away!”
However, these two were not simple either, and their eyesight and methods were very experienced.
While driving the flying magic tool to chase Lu Changsheng, they controlled two flying swords to continue killing Lu Changsheng, blocking his route.
And cast spells, treating him as a living target, causing the golden light on Lu Changsheng to quickly dim.
“No, it’s difficult to land in this situation.”
Lu Changsheng knew that he was now a living target. It would be difficult to rely on talismans to hold on until he landed, and then use talismans to sneak away.
And he didn’t know if the two had other pursuit methods.
The best way is to kill the two!
“So what if they are in the late stage of Qi Refining? They are just two cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining! With the talismans and talisman treasure on me, am I still afraid of the late stage of Qi Refining!”
A fierce look appeared in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, and he immediately put on another Golden Bell Cover Talisman for himself, preparing to fight back.
“Another Golden Bell Cover Talisman, this kid is just a mid-grade talisman master, where did he get so many high-grade talismans!?”
“Sure enough, he’s a big fat sheep. It’s worth us squatting for so long!”
The fat and thin men, seeing this, had their eyes shining with greed and fierceness.
Just as they increased their offensive, Lu Changsheng also threw out a handful of talismans.
All of them were middle and low-grade talismans, as many as twenty.
This was the most talismans that Lu Changsheng could currently activate with his mind at once.
If there were more, it would be difficult to control them.
Under the control of Lu Changsheng’s mind and spiritual power, these talismans turned into fireballs, rolling stones, ice cones, wind blades, sharp arrows, and cold winds.
They roared and killed towards the tall and fat men, with immense power.
“So many talismans?”
The black and fat man among the two was shocked when he saw this, and quickly sacrificed an earth-yellow shield magic weapon to block the turbulent offensive.
Letting Lu Changsheng’s talisman offensive fall on the shield, only making a series of dull sounds.
The black and fat man resisted the offensive and shouted to the white and thin man: “Don’t dawdle, quickly solve this kid, otherwise if this goes on, he will use up all the talismans on him, and we will lose a lot!”
In their opinion, the things on Lu Changsheng were already in their pockets.
Every time he used one more, it was spending their money.
The white and thin man didn’t speak, but he had the same idea, his eyes flashing fiercely, he patted the storage bag, pinched a magic formula, and sacrificed a cold and awe-inspiring scimitar magic weapon.
The scimitar was like a round of cold moon, and it quickly killed Lu Changsheng, cutting through the air.
However, at this moment, Lu Changsheng put on another Golden Light Cover Talisman for himself, and also played three talismans.
The handful of middle and low-grade talismans just now was just an appetizer.
Just to distract these two a little.
Now is the highlight!
“Buzz!”
A muffled sound like thunder appeared in the void, causing the air to vibrate slightly.
High-grade talisman - Soul Shock Talisman!
Shocking other people’s minds, making people feel panic, fear, and unease.
Lu Changsheng’s use of the Soul Shock Talisman caught the fat and thin duo off guard, making it impossible for them to defend against.
For a brief moment, their minds went blank, and a profound sense of fear arose, causing them to lose focus.
However, at that very instant.
“Boom! Boom!”
Two talismans flew out, filled with purple lightning, transforming into two violent lightning strikes, crashing down upon them.
The latest chapters can be found on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
High-Grade Talisman – Lightning Attraction Talisman!
Capable of unleashing a lightning strike comparable to a full-force attack from a ninth-level Qi Refinement cultivator!
Even under normal circumstances, the two would find it difficult to withstand such a Lightning Attraction Talisman.
Especially now, caught off guard by the Soul Shock Talisman, their minds were vulnerable.
Boom! Boom!
The black, fat man’s shield-type magical artifact, already struggling to hold up under the barrage of talismans, was barely managing to defend.
When the lightning strike landed, the earthen-yellow shield was sent flying, and before he could recover, he was engulfed by the talisman onslaught.
The white, thin man, with a slightly stronger will, quickly regained his senses, lightning flashing in his eyes as he hastily activated a protective Qi shield around himself.
But at this moment, it was already too late.
“Ah!!! No!”
The protective Qi shield shattered like paper under the violent assault of the Lightning Attraction Talisman, and then he let out a desperate, disbelieving roar.
Instantly, two charred bodies plummeted from the sky.
Both bodies were reduced to charcoal, turning into ashes in the air.
The curved blade magical artifact, which had been attacking the golden light shield around Lu Changsheng, lost its spiritual power support and fell straight down from the sky.
“They’re dead?”
Lu Changsheng, holding a Lightning Talisman and the Golden Brick Talisman Treasure, ready to continue, was stunned to see the two turn into charcoal and fall from the sky under the attack of the Lightning Attraction Talisman.
He had only just begun, and they were already gone.
But he quickly understood that in battles between cultivators, life, death, victory, and defeat could happen in an instant.
A moment of carelessness could lead to death and the dissipation of one’s cultivation.
Although the two were powerful, they were only late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators.
Let alone facing a first-grade high-quality Lightning Attraction Talisman.
Without adequate preparation, even a mid-grade talisman could directly take their lives.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He lowered the heart that had been in his throat.
“That was close. If it weren’t for the magic robe and the Cold Jade Spiritual Pendant, I wouldn’t have even had a chance to use a talisman when faced with the sudden flying sword.”
Lu Changsheng swallowed, his throat dry, filled with lingering fear.
He felt that his awareness of danger was still lacking.
The moment the Iron Feather Eagle appeared to be out of control, he should have realized the danger, become vigilant, and prepared for it.
Instead of waiting until the flying sword came, attacking him directly, before realizing the problem and the danger.
“Sigh, I’m seriously lacking in experience in this area!”
Lu Changsheng exhaled again, licked his lips, and thought to himself.
He also knew that this kind of awareness couldn’t be improved overnight; it required accumulation and cultivation.
He planned to prepare more protective magical artifacts on his body after returning to Nine Dragons Market this time, he needed to be fully armed.
Otherwise, if he encountered this kind of situation again, encountering a more powerful rogue cultivator than these two, the protective spells of the magic robe and the Cold Jade Spiritual Pendant would not be enough.
“From the conversation of the two just now, it seems like they were specifically lying in wait for me here?”
“I’ve always been kind to others, never offended anyone, and have no enemies. Why would anyone lie in wait for me?”
“The only possibility is that I was targeted in Nine Dragons Market?”
Lu Changsheng thought of his spending in Nine Dragons Market over the past two months.
If someone with ulterior motives noticed, they could see that he was quite wealthy, a fat sheep.
“It is said that wealth should not be flaunted, and once it is exposed, it is easy to be targeted.”
“Nine Dragons Market is well-policed, but that doesn’t mean the people inside Nine Dragons Market are good.”
“As soon as you leave Nine Dragons Market, any cultivator inside could become a rogue cultivator.”
“Moreover, I am only a fourth-level Qi Refinement cultivator. In the eyes of most cultivators, I am a piece of fat meat, a child holding gold.”
Lu Changsheng also understood this principle and didn’t dwell on it too much, just deciding to be more careful in the future.
Looking around, seeing no traces of other people.
He immediately used the Flying Talisman to descend to the ground to collect his spoils of war.
Under the talisman onslaught just now, both bodies had turned to charcoal and ashes, leaving only the magic robes and boots covering the remains.
“These are all magical artifacts, right?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the clothing and boots, his eyes lighting up.
If they were ordinary clothes, they wouldn’t have survived the talisman attack.
He stepped forward, cast a cleaning spell, cleaned away the remains and ashes from the magic robes and shoes, picked up the magic robes, and examined them.
The magic robes were slightly damaged by the talisman attack, probably only low-grade magic robes.
Inside both magic robes, he found a storage bag.
This brought a bit of joy to Lu Changsheng’s face.
After all, in such a dangerous life-and-death struggle, the spoils of war were the only thing worth anticipating.
He didn’t check the two storage bags, putting the things away first.
He also searched around for the two men’s flying magical artifacts, flying swords, shield magical artifact, and curved blade magical artifact.
After finding and putting away the items, Lu Changsheng felt that this wave of gains should be substantial.
He took out the Beast Controlling Token to sense the situation of the Iron Feather Eagle.
If the Iron Feather Eagle was gone, it would be very troublesome for him to return to Green Bamboo Mountain.
Even if he returned to Nine Dragons Market, he would only be able to run back.
Through the Beast Controlling Token, he could sense a trace of connection with the Iron Feather Eagle, it should still be on the peak.
“As I guessed, these two rogue cultivators used the Demon-Enticing Incense to lure the Iron Feather Eagle out of control and onto the mountain peak.”
“An Iron Feather Eagle is worth several hundred spirit stones. As rogue cultivators, they are seeking wealth, so they naturally wouldn’t harm the Iron Feather Eagle.”
“Otherwise, when I was riding on the Iron Feather Eagle, they would have directly attacked the Iron Feather Eagle instead of me.”
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and prepared to go to the peak to find the Iron Feather Eagle.
Seeing that the remaining effect of the Flying Talisman on his body was not much, Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth and took out another Flying Talisman, using it on himself.
Then, cautiously, he quickly flew towards the mountain peak.
Although only two people had come to chase him just now, and there shouldn’t be any accomplices.
But after such a thing happened, it wouldn’t hurt to be careful.
Moreover, there might be demonic beasts in these mountains and forests.
When Lu Changsheng cautiously arrived at the mountain peak, he immediately saw a light brown incense stick, as thick as an adult’s arm, on a boulder on the mountain peak.
Thick white incense smoke was slowly rising, spreading towards the sky.
The Iron Feather Eagle was next to the incense, anxiously screeching and crying.
“It really is Demon-Enticing Incense!”
“It seems that these two prepared for a long time to lie in wait for me, putting in a lot of effort.”
“Wait, my trip home is an early departure from Nine Dragons Market, how could they calculate so accurately when waiting for me outside?”
“They can’t have been lighting a stick of Demon-Enticing Incense here every day for so long, right?”
“And looking at the way this Demon-Enticing Incense is burning, it should have only been burning for two or three hours.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the burning Demon-Enticing Incense in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He vaguely realized there was a problem.
The other party should have accomplices.
This accomplice is in Nine Dragons Market, secretly watching him.
As soon as he left Nine Dragons Market, they sent a message here.
Otherwise, how could the other party be so accurate?
After all, the speed of the Iron Feather Eagle is already very fast.
To be able to prepare even earlier, then there could only be a message talisman.
“It seems that I need to be more careful when I return to Nine Dragons Market later.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He didn’t approach the restless Iron Feather Eagle.
He took out a Water Bullet Talisman, activated it into a water bullet, and shot it towards the Demon-Enticing Incense, extinguishing it.
As the demon incense was extinguished, the restless Iron Feather Eagle also became much quieter.
Lu Changsheng used the Beast Controlling Token to convey commands to the Iron Feather Eagle, to see how the latter was doing.
But he found that the Iron Feather Eagle was still in a restless, beastly state and didn’t listen to commands very well.
“It is estimated that it will take at least a day for the effects of the Demon-Enticing Incense on the Iron Feather Eagle to dissipate.”
Lu Changsheng sighed, somewhat helpless.
He also knew that it would take a lot of time for the demon incense to stimulate the beastly nature of the demonic beast to completely subside.
Immediately, he took out a Spirit Feeding Pill and threw it to the Iron Feather Eagle, so that the latter could stabilize its emotions a little by eating something.
Then, he used the Beast Controlling Token to put the Iron Feather Eagle back into the spirit pet bag, preparing to find a place, a cave, to hide first.
Otherwise, if he waited here for the Iron Feather Eagle to recover, the accomplices of the two rogue cultivators might arrive.
