Heaven and Earth are Round, Laws and Decrees are Nine Chapters

Chen Hu touched his bald head and chuckled, "Brother Yunbao, since you and he are of the same path, I think it's best to avoid this."

Daoist Yunbao frowned slightly, displeased. "What same path?"

"Just some children who learned some unorthodox ways."

The reason the two were rushing forward so eagerly was simple: the future Prince Su, Xiao Jingyuan, had made promises to them.

Whoever killed Jiang Yun would be handsomely rewarded.

Listening to their conversation, Lu Wanyu remained silent.

Lu Wanyu had fought Jiang Yun before and knew very well that this kid wasn't easy to deal with.

As the two argued endlessly, Chen Hu the monk suddenly bolted towards Nanmanju Inn.

Seeing this, Daoist Yunbao, unwilling to be outdone, instantly drew the long sword from his back and followed closely behind.

Seeing them rush in one after another, Lu Wanyu glanced back.

Xiao Jingyuan was staring at him from not far away.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wanyu took a deep breath and could only brace himself and follow.

Meanwhile, in a guest room at Nanmanju Inn.

Jiang Yun already held five Talismans in his hand.

In the corridor, the arguing voices of Daoist Yunbao and Chen Hu the monk could already be heard.

Xu Suwen narrowed her eyes slightly and stood in the room, asking, "Do you have the confidence to deal with those three?"

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "Miss Xu, you had best leave this room."

Hearing this, Xu Suwen glanced curiously at the Talismans in Jiang Yun's hand.

Jiang Yun's Magic Power was currently only at the eighth rank.

Could he really handle three seventh-rank experts?

However, she didn't hesitate for too long. She knew Jiang Yun was a very rational person.

If he wasn't confident, he would definitely ask for her help.

Xu Suwen leaped out of the third-floor room and flew to the eaves across the street.

After Xu Suwen left, Chen Hu the monk and Daoist Yunbao had already arrived and kicked open the door.

Chen Hu the monk held a string of prayer beads, a strange smile on his lips. "Benefactor, this old monk has arrived."

"After I kill you, this old monk will perform a proper deliverance for you!"

Beside him, Daoist Yunbao, holding a long sword, snorted coldly and said, "Monk, let's agree first. Fair competition. Whoever this kid dies by, they get the Heir Apparent's reward."

Hearing this, Chen Hu the monk impatiently rushed into the guest room.

Daoist Yunbao's eyes sharpened. He secretly thought, This guy is actually making a dash for it.

Jiang Yun stood in the middle of the room, holding a Talisman in his right hand.

At this moment, the Talisman was circulating with a red glow.

Jiang Yun began to chant: "Samadhi True Fire, flowing light for ten thousand miles. Illuminating heaven and earth, blazing in all directions. Rivers and seas boil, demons and ghosts hide. Southern Dipper descends qi, Samadhi's flowing light."

"Refining the fetus, changing the essence, refining the soul, strengthening the spirit. Ten thousand demons perish, ascending on smoke and flying. Hasten, as the law commands."

Daoist Yunbao's footsteps instantly stopped, his pupils constricting slightly. The incantation Jiang Yun was chanting.

He had never heard it before, but he could hear the words "Samadhi True Fire."

Samadhi True Fire is the Extreme Yang Fire of Taoism...

This kid knows Samadhi True Fire?

The moment he finished chanting, Jiang Yun's pupils burned with raging flames.

He opened his mouth, and a ball of scorching flame erupted.

"Dodge!" Daoist Yunbao shouted loudly and quickly dodged to the side.

Chen Hu the monk couldn't react in time. The Samadhi True Fire had already reached him.

He hurriedly chanted: "Namo Buddha. Namo Dharma. Namo Sangha. Namo Shri. Maha Tibaya. Tatha..."

The Buddha beads in his hand instantly shone with a Buddhist light, covering him.

The Samadhi True Fire instantly engulfed him.

Sweat dripped from his forehead. The Buddhist light barrier was cracking at a visible speed.

He couldn't hold on.

He hastily rolled onto the ground, tumbling to the side, narrowly dodging. He shouted, "Brother Yunbao, what is this fire..."

He turned his head and saw Daoist Yunbao already turning to flee.

Daoist Yunbao roared, "This guy knows Samadhi True Fire! If we don't run, we'll die!"

Samadhi True Fire can only be cast by Taoists who specialize in fire-element incantations, and requires at least the sixth-rank Inner Core realm to perform.

In the room, Jiang Yun held a Talisman, his Magic Power flowing, and spoke again, spewing forth Samadhi True Fire.

"This is the Daoist Samadhi True Fire? Wait for this old monk!"

The monk Chen Hu hurriedly followed.

At the staircase, Lu Wanyu, who had been trailing behind, saw that the situation was not good and had already turned to flee.

Meanwhile.

On the street, Xiao Jingyuan watched Xu Suwen leave the third-floor room and rejoiced in his heart.

Could it be that his words had persuaded Miss Xu?

He also felt relieved at this moment and looked up at the third floor.

Daoist Yunbao, Lu Wanyu, and the monk Chen Hu were all experts hired by the Prince's Estate with a heavy sum.

Dealing with one Jiang Yun should be no problem.

The Prince Su's Mansion had been operating in Nanzhou Prefecture for many years, and Xiao Jingyuan had long since figured out Jiang Yun's background.

He was nothing more than a poor scholar, living with his sister.

Finally, there was movement from the third floor, with flashes of firelight constantly appearing.

Xiao Jingyuan smiled faintly, it seemed they had already made their move.

But in less than a moment, Daoist Yunbao, the monk Chen Hu, and Lu Wanyu all fled from Nanmanju Inn in a sorry state.

"What happened to you three?" Xiao Jingyuan frowned.

Before the three could explain, Jiang Yun leaped out of the third-floor window and landed heavily on the ground.

Since they had made a move, he would not let these three go easily.

He took out another lightning Talisman in his left hand.

"Electric fire, fierce and swift, Southern Fire Lord. Poison flies ten thousand feet, shaking and drifting in all directions. True Talisman transforms, quickly revealing its true spirit. Hasten, as per the decree."

Lightning in his left hand, fire in his right.

His hands danced.

He spoke, and the Samadhi True Fire mixed with sparks and flashes of lightning.

The electric true fire roared towards Daoist Yunbao, the monk Chen Hu, and Lu Wanyu.

Seeing that escape was impossible.

Daoist Yunbao bit the tip of his tongue, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood onto the long sword he held tightly, and hastily chanted, "Fire Lords, protect my form, let the fierce flames not burn, let a gentle breeze arrive."

The monk Chen Hu also hastily chanted a spell.

Lu Wanyu took a deep breath and hurriedly waved the folding fan in his hand.

This folding fan was no ordinary fan, but a magical treasure with considerable spiritual energy.

The three hastily cast their spells as the electric true fire swept towards them.

The three working together could barely resist.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Jingyuan not far away.

After taking another deep breath, he spewed another breath of true fire towards Xiao Jingyuan.

The most potent aspect of Samadhi True Fire was that it could directly burn the soul.

"Heir Apparent, be careful!" Seeing the flames turn towards Xiao Jingyuan, Lu Wanyu rushed forward desperately, throwing the folding fan in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, a lifelike tiger was painted on the folding fan.

As the fan flew out, the tiger drawn with black ink inside the fan instantly emerged from the fan, blocking the Samadhi True Fire for Xiao Jingyuan.

Chen Hu and Daoist Yunbao saw this and realized it was a good opportunity to capture Jiang Yun.

They rushed towards Jiang Yun from left and right.

Daoist Yunbao chanted in a deep voice, and instantly, the treasured sword in his hand began to flash with electric light.

Beside him, the monk Chen Hu shone with golden Buddha light, raising his fist. This punch contained his years of Buddhist cultivation.

If it landed, Jiang Yun would undoubtedly be smashed to pieces.

Seeing the two rush towards him, Jiang Yun did not panic. Instead, he took out a Talisman he had prepared long ago.

He tossed it into the sky.

"Heaven is round and earth is square, the laws are nine chapters. I now write, and ten thousand ghosts shall hide. Ascending to the Three Pure Ones, descending to the spiritual heart..."

And another chapter.
