The Dao Thief

"How is this possible!?"

Faced with Luo Lan's question, the man simply smiled and remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, the man began throwing punches in a manner almost identical to Luo Lan's.

This is a combat technique of the Xingtian Shi Clan, and it is also a closely guarded secret of the Xingtian clan.

Although his physique was no match for Luo Lan's, the man relied on his immortality to forcefully suppress him.

Fortunately, Luo Lan reacted quickly enough. Realizing that his opponent was also skilled in the Xingtian Shi Clan's combat techniques, he immediately changed his fighting style. Clang!

With a single punch, he struck the man's cheek, and simultaneously produced the sound of a blade being drawn.

Caught completely off guard, the man's head was pierced through.

A short, metallic blade suddenly emerged from Luo Lan's arm bone.

It was clear that Luo Lan was enduring immense pain, and even his previously smooth offensive was briefly halted due to this pain.

However, the Xingtian Shi Clan has always been different from others. The intense physical pain did not limit Luo Lan's fighting power; on the contrary, it made his subsequent attacks even more frenzied.

Now it was the man's turn to look at Luo Lan with disbelief.

Because he had already recognized that the ability Luo Lan was using was the ability of Wu Luo, one of the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain, the Golden Halberd Weapon Lord.

Any weapon that Wu Luo has come into contact with will be copied and left with his mark.

When the weapon is needed, it will grow out of Wu Luo's body.

Weapons that grow from muscles, bones, and flesh will completely replicate all the abilities and characteristics of the original version.

Moreover, the user's usage methods and combat experience will be retained, becoming part of their combat instincts. When necessary, the weapon can even automatically compensate for any physical deficiencies the user may have.

Of course, Luo Lan is clearly not at that level yet.

Clang!

He pulled the short blade from his arm bone.

Luo Lan's fighting techniques had merely shifted to using short blades; his physical abilities hadn't changed much. "Turns out he's just a half-baked fighter. I thought it was Wu Luo himself!"

With a clear hint of sarcasm in his words, the man decisively chose to counterattack before Luo Lan could continue her fierce attack.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Dust flew everywhere, and the air crackled.

A man's fist is more powerful than a hammer, yet more flexible than a whip.

Even within the Xingtian Shi Clan, there are few who can wield combat skills to such a superb level as men.

This is where Luo Lan's disadvantages became apparent.

Although he studied under Wu Luo for a period of time through Wu Zhen's introduction.

However, without Wu Luo's talent, his application of the [Golden Halberd Weapon Lord] ability was only at a very basic level.

Simply using his own flesh and bones to create temporary weapons was already the limit of what he could do.

Staring in astonishment at the battle not far away, Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment before standing still.

Grandpa's teachings and reason told Xiao Ling that she should seize the opportunity to escape now.

However, looking at Luo Lan's tall figure, Xiao Ling knew very well what her current escape meant.

I might be able to escape alive, but this Xingtian Shi will definitely die here.

After all, that man only wanted to capture him alive and had no interest in showing mercy to a powerful Xingtian Shi.

"Grandpa, I don't think you'd want me to become an ungrateful person!"

After a brief hesitation, Xiao Ling raised the Talisman Seal Script launcher in her hand again, then aimed it at the man and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, copper pellets, faster than sound, shot towards the battlefield.

With Luo Lan holding him back this time, the man didn't catch the copper pellet so easily.

As the familiar lightning bolt struck down from the sky, the man immediately let out an angry roar.

I'm going to kill you all!

The whole body suddenly bloomed with dark inverted "kan" characters.

The previously calmed-down Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi began to fluctuate.

This is the last thing a man wants to see, but at this moment he has no other choice.

Rather than attracting Li Boyang's attention, the man now had to protect this avatar so that it could possibly take the old man back to its hiding place. Boom!

As the surging Yuan Qi raged, the man also resolved to end the battle quickly.

Unfortunately, the battle that followed was destined to unfold differently than the man had hoped.

He suddenly realized that Luo Lan, who had been under his thumb, seemed to have undergone a complete transformation and was gradually regaining the upper hand. However, Luo Lan showed no excitement at reversing the situation; instead, he revealed a mixture of disbelief and indignation.

"Master?"

When Luo Lan called out "Master," the man's movements visibly paused for a moment.

But then, Luo Lan suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted in an even more indignant voice.

"No, you can't be my master!"

"My master died three years ago, along with my sister, at the hands of those outsiders!"

Who exactly are you?

"Why do you possess my master's techniques and habits!?"

The man stared intently at Luo Lan for a moment, then said nothing more before leaping out of the battle.

"I'll let you two off this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

He maintained the posture of carrying the elderly person with one hand.

The man glanced one last time in the direction of the steel aircraft carrier, then turned and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Overwhelmed with grief and anger, Luo Lan tried to chase after the other person, but could no longer even see their back.

"Don't run away! Tell me what's going on!"

Unaware of the man's final glance, Luo Lan was still determined to pursue the truth.

But he had only run a few steps forward when he suddenly found himself being grabbed.

When he turned around, he saw Xiao Ling, panting heavily, pulling at him, breathing through her mouth and nose and unable to speak.

Exhaling a deep breath, Luo Lan finally realized that she had come to save someone.

Although he was very unwilling that the man had escaped, he still turned around and tried his best to gently comfort the frightened Xiao Ling.

"It's alright, it's alright, you're safe now."

Only after Luo Lan gently hugged her did Xiao Ling start to cry and sob again.

Even Xiao Ling herself wasn't sure how much of her tears were from relief at surviving a disaster, and how much from the grief of watching her grandfather being taken away.

Xiao Ling, who has always been overly rational, has never felt so lost before; her mind is completely blank.
