boom!
In the night sky, two figures exuding powerful and vigorous Primordial Qi were fiercely clashing. Each collision of Primordial Qi would unleash a violent wave of Primordial Qi that would resound far and wide like thunder in the night.
Lu Jin stood in mid-air, his Feather Robe, flowing with lightning and fire, booming and vibrating, constantly absorbing and releasing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, which then nourished his body.
During the previous fierce battle, Thunderfire Feather Robe was damaged, and some poisonous spots could be seen on his arms. These were caused by the erosion of Guo Kui's highly poisonous Primordial Qi during the battle of Primordial Qi.
" Lu Jin, you old codger, you're quite resilient!"
A chilling voice came from ahead. Guo Kui was surrounded by black Primordial Qi that exuded deadly poison. Behind him, the Primordial Qi seemed to condense into a huge black scorpion tail, with a sharp hook and flowing with strange light.
Guo Kui's breathing was slightly heavy, and there were burn marks from lightning and fire on his body.
Because he and Lu Jin had already engaged in a fierce battle of wits.
Both sides suffered considerable losses.
However, Guo Kui did not care about these injuries. Instead, he stared at Lu Jin with a sinister look and his eyes were full of mockery. In the previous battle, his poisonous qi had invaded Lu Jin's body. Although he was also injured by Lu Jin's Thunderfire Primordial Qi as a result.
Guo Kui felt he had struck gold, because according to the intelligence he had obtained, Lu Jin was already on his last legs, just an old and frail body. He had countless injuries in his body, and all he needed to do was use his poisonous energy to trigger the outbreak of Lu Jin's injuries, causing him to collapse.
However, what surprised Guo Kui somewhat was how Lu Jin had managed to hold on until now.
According to the intelligence, Lu Jin's injuries should be flaring up by now, right?
"What's going on? Didn't the intelligence say that this old guy was already on his last legs? How come he hasn't collapsed yet?"
"Or is this just the old man's last burst of energy before death? But what kind of last burst of energy could last this long?"
Guo Kui's eyes were gloomy and puzzled.
Lu Jin ignored Guo Kui's sarcastic remarks and instead glanced at the dense forest below. There he saw the disappearing poisonous gas and two faint golden lights flickering in a certain spot.
Those were Lu Ming's Golden Pupil.
A satisfied smile appeared on the old man's lips.
This is the signal agreed upon beforehand.
Suddenly ignoring Guo Kui Lu Jin's Thunderfire Feather Robe billowed up, transforming into a beam of thunderfire that plummeted down and appeared in front of Lu Ming.
Seeing this, Guo Kui was a little puzzled, but he sneered, "Old man, are you planning to leave your last words?"
However, no one paid him any attention. When Lu Ming saw Lu Jin land, he stepped forward without saying a word, reached out his palm and covered some of the poison spots and wounds on Lu Jin's arm, with emerald flames swirling in his palm.
After a short while, Lu Jin activated his Thunderfire Feather Robe and soared into the sky.
"Come on, didn't you want to wear this old man down? I'll give you that chance." Lu Jin spoke indifferently, and before Guo Kui could reply, he swung his Thunderfire Whip, unleashing countless bolts of lightning and flames in a devastating attack.
Guo Kui, at this moment, was somewhat shocked.
Because he clearly felt that the poisonous gas mark he had left in Lu Jin's body had been eliminated, and most importantly, the injuries he had previously caused to Lu Jin had also largely disappeared.
"What did that kid do?!"
"It seems like Lu Jin has fully recovered!"
Guo Kui was filled with disbelief, but there was no time to think further. The violent lightning and fire that Lu Jin was carrying had already attacked. He hurriedly unleashed his own highly poisonous Primordial Qi, and his palm struck out, transforming into streaks of highly poisonous palm prints to meet the attack.
Boom! Boom!
The fierce battle erupted again.
During this battle, Guo Kui suddenly discovered that Lu Jin was no longer conservative, but instead adopted an extremely aggressive stance, even willing to exchange injuries for injuries!
If it were before, Guo Kui would probably have been overjoyed to see Lu Jin in this state, since in his opinion, for Lu Jin to continue to injure himself in this condition would be tantamount to actively seeking death.
But now... he suddenly felt a little uncertain.
Rumble!
The surging and powerful Primordial Qi continuously stirred up waves, sweeping across the night sky.
A moment later, Lu Jin's Thunderfire Whip slammed into Guo Viper's chest, shattering large pieces of his black feather robe. The violent thunderfire energy caused blood to spill from the corner of Guo Viper's mouth.
But Guo Kui's attack wasn't in vain; his sleeves fluttered, and dark scorpion tail venom pierced Lu Jin's shoulder.
Both were injured and retreated in a sorry state.
Lu Jin landed directly on another spot below, where golden light was shimmering.
As soon as he landed, Lu Ming appeared. Without a word, he placed his hand on the shoulder pierced by the scorpion's tail, and the Flame of Life surged, rapidly healing the wound.
Just for a moment.
Lu Jin's shoulder wound had mostly healed. He laughed loudly, his Thunderfire Feather Robe fluttered, and his figure soared into the sky, heading straight for Guo Kui.
This time, Guo Kui finally saw clearly that the brat from the Thunderfire Hall was actually healing Lu Jin's injuries!
And isn't this healing speed a bit too fast?!
At this moment, Guo Kui felt a surge of anger and even wanted to curse.
Damn it, wasn't this supposed to be a one-on-one fight?
Why did you bring a little baby with you?!
Unlimited healing and sustain, huh?!
At this moment, Guo Kui felt like a fool, repeatedly trading blows with Lu Jin in an attempt to wear down Lu Jin's condition and force the old man to his death. But the result was that he suffered more and more injuries and his condition deteriorated, while Lu Jin remained vigorous and fierce, growing stronger with each fight.
"You little brat, die!"
Guo Kui roared angrily and struck out with his palm. His powerful poisonous energy transformed into a giant palm, which slammed down towards the forest where Lu Ming was.
boom!
But before the poisonous palm could land, thunder roared in the night sky, and a silver bolt of lightning struck down, shattering and engulfing the poisonous palm.
" Guo Kui, your opponent is me. Didn't you want to wear me down? Why don't you continue?" Lu Jin said with a faint smile.
Guo Kui gritted his teeth and said, " Lu Jin, you're too despicable!"
The fact that Lu Jin and Lu Ming's cooperation was able to force the cunning and ruthless leader of the Peach Mountain Band to utter the word "despicable" shows just how enraged he was.
Guo Kui turned his gaze to the dense forest, still trying to find Lu Ming's location, but discovered that in the brief moment Lu Jin had stopped him, the boy had cunningly slipped into the depths of the forest and disappeared.
Having learned from the previous two experiences, Guo Kui already knew that the next time the kid would emerge from another place and use flashing golden light to guide Lu Jin, thus avoiding him staying in one place and being driven away in advance.
That little brat is disgusting.
"The ' Peach Poison Restriction ' has been broken, and Fan Li and his group are tied up. If this drags on any longer, and the Qingyuan Market government takes action and launches a siege, things will get very bad."
Guo Kui suddenly felt that the situation, which he had been in complete control of, was starting to spiral out of control.
We can't delay any longer.
Guo Kui finally gave up on his idea of dragging Lu Jin out to death; if he dragged it out any longer, it might be Lu Jin who had to leave a will.
A murderous intent flashed in Guo Kui's eyes. He then reached out and pulled a blood-red cloth bag from inside his Feather Robe. The bag was engraved with dark red runes, which flickered and emitted a strong bloody aura.
At that moment, countless rustling sounds came from inside the bag, as if crawling insects were moving by.
Superior-grade Divine Ability Weapon, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Bag.
Guo Kui activated the Ten Thousand Scorpion Bag with his Primordial Qi, breaking the seal on the bag's opening. The next moment, a stream of blood-red Primordial Qi shot into the sky. The Primordial Qi was extremely foul-smelling and contained a deadly poison capable of severely injuring even Divine Ability Master.
The crimson Primordial Qi surged forth, but Guo Kui did not use it to attack. Instead, with a long howl, he swallowed the crimson Primordial Qi, which contained terrifying poison, whole.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ming, who was in the dense forest below, immediately dared not show himself again.
Clearly, with the situation evolving to this point, Guo Kui's meticulously planned "enduring the old man" tactic had completely failed, leaving him no choice but to resort to desperate measures.
at the same time.
In Qingyuan Market, Feather Robe with flowing sword light appeared around Lin Changkong's body. Then, his figure soared into the air and transformed into a golden light, heading towards the outside of the city.
However, just as he was about to leap out of the city gate, a figure appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
"Master Zhou Xuan?" Lin Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the person who had appeared. Zhou Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his body surrounded by flowing blue Feather Robe that emitted a faint fragrance.
"Master Lin, are you going out of the city so late? Is there something important? Why don't you tell me? Perhaps I can help you," Zhou Xuan asked with a smile.
Lin Changkong said, "Is there something wrong with the shop owner?"
"The moon is beautiful tonight. I've invited Master Shi Tong of the Red Sand Hall and Master Shen Tai of the Mountain Moving Hall for drinks and a late-night chat. I wonder if Master Lin would do me the honor?" Zhou Xuan said.
Lin Changkong remained expressionless for several breaths before finally revealing a slight smile, "Since the sect leader has invited me, how could I refuse?"
"Haha, okay, please."
Zhou Xuan nodded in satisfaction, gestured with his hand, and then landed on a hilltop not far away.
Lin Changkong glanced in the distance, his eyes flashing. Guo Kui should have already made his move, right? With his strength, dealing with an old man who's on his last legs shouldn't be a problem.
He wanted to leave the city just to be on the safe side, but Zhou Xuan's appearance here was clearly not a coincidence. Did he know something?
"Why is he stopping me? The local government has never interfered with the competition between the Divine Ability Hall."
Lin Changkong was somewhat puzzled. Now that he had become True Qi Master, even Zhou Xuan had to give him some face. Logically speaking, an old man whose potential had been exhausted was not qualified to compare his status with him.
No rational person would choose to offend him and side with Lu Jin instead.
Many thoughts flashed through Lin Changkong's mind, but he ultimately followed Zhou Xuan and landed on that mountain.
Forget it, even without his intervention, the Thunderfire Hall was doomed tonight anyway.
He was here, waiting for news of the Thunderfire Hall's destruction.
There was a stone pavilion on the hilltop, where two figures were already seated.
It was Shi Tong of the Red Sand Hall and Shen Tai of the Mountain Moving Hall.
Lin Changkong remained calm, took his seat, and drank and chatted with the three of them.
Shortly after, a figure descended from the sky. It was Zhou Fuling. She dispersed her wings of light and solemnly reported to Zhou Xuan, "Fourth Uncle, a guard from the ward has reported that there seems to be fluctuation of energy from a battle between Divine Ability Master in the western direction of Qingyuan Market."
"It seems to be the direction that the Thunderfire Hall escorting the Qingchuan Merchant Association went today."
Upon hearing this, Shi Tong and Shen Tai's expressions changed drastically. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt, and asked, "Could it be that the Peach Mountain Band ambushed and killed the caravan guarded by the Thunderfire Hall?"
They were naturally aware of the feud between the Thunderfire Hall and Peach Mountain Band during this period, as it had already spread throughout Qingyuan Market.
" The Divine Ability Master are fighting? Could it be that Guo Kui, the leader of the Peach Mountain Band, has appeared? Lu Jin is probably in trouble now." Shi Tong's expression was somewhat complicated. Although their Red Sand Hall and Thunderfire Hall had been rivals for many years and had deep grudges, seeing Thunderfire Hall being targeted by the notorious bandits of Peach Mountain Band, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shared misfortune.
They all knew Lu Jin's condition; if he fought Guo Kui tonight, even if he managed to drive him back, he probably wouldn't live much longer.
In the future, Qingyuan Market might only have three Third-Tier Divine Ability Hall left.
Zhou Xuan's expression also turned serious. He glanced at Lin Changkong and said with a hint of anger, "These Peach Mountain Band have some nerve!"
He was also somewhat angry. He had originally thought that the Peach Mountain Band would wait until the caravan left Qingyuan Market and entered that no-man's-land before they would carry out their ambush.
As a result, on the very first night, the Peach Mountain Band mobilized.
This really shows they don't take him, the shop owner, seriously.
"Notify the guards to provide immediate support and annihilate the Peach Mountain Band!" Zhou Xuan said coldly.
"Yes!"
Zhou Fuling immediately turned around, flapped her wings, and flew away.
Lin Changkong held his wine glass, a slight smile on his face.
Going there now would probably be too late.
