Chapter 29: First Battle, Power of Talismans!

 

Under the blessing of the Lightbody Talisman, Lu Changsheng moved as swiftly as a swallow, striding as if he were flying.

 

As he reached halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

 

When he turned around, he immediately saw three figures wearing bamboo hats, moving as fast as the wind, quickly descending from the mountain.

 

Immediately, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat and his expression darkened.

 

Was he being targeted?

 

This was Lu Changsheng’s first thought.

 

How else could it be such a coincidence?

 

When he went up the mountain, he didn’t meet anyone.

 

And now, as soon as he came down the mountain, there were three people rushing down together in such a hurry.

 

Moreover…

 

Although the three figures were wearing bamboo hats, their faces could not be seen clearly. 

 

However, Lu Changsheng vaguely remembered that one of them was wearing a yellow robe and had a stocky build.

 

It seemed like this person had bought talismans from him before.

 

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was at least sixty to seventy percent sure that these three people were coming for him.

 

“Damn it, I was careful enough to only bring out these few talismans to sell, yet I still attracted attention,” 

 

Lu Changsheng muttered with a hint of gloom on his face.

 

Without thinking much, he immediately took out a medium-grade wind talisman and activated it with spiritual power. 

 

Immediately, a swirl of azure wind enveloped him, causing the wind to swirl beneath his feet and greatly increasing his speed.

 

He charged forward like a gust of wind, causing his cloak to flutter loudly, blowing off his hood, and leaving his face burning.

 

“A wind travel talisman?”

 

“This kid actually has a mid-level talisman!”

 

“To be able to sell so many talismans, he is indeed a fat sheep!” 

 

The three people who were chasing after Lu Changsheng saw this, and their eyes lit up as they accelerated their pace.

 

In their eyes, Lu Changsheng was now a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

 

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

 

After Lu Changsheng had been running for a while, he noticed that the three individuals behind him were also speeding up, showing no signs of being left behind. 

 

In fact, they were getting closer and closer, and his expression turned grim.

 

At that moment, he could tell without thinking that these three were after him and wanted to kill him and take his goods.

 

What’s more, even with the boost from a Lightness Talisman and a Wind Travel Talisman, he still couldn’t shake off these three. This indicated that their cultivation levels were much higher than his.

 

At least at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refinement, or even higher.

 

“Since I can’t escape, I have to fight!”

 

 Lu Changsheng knew that running like this was not the solution, it would only waste his energy. 

 

A glimmer of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

 

Immediately, he reached into his storage bag and pulled out a handful of talismans, about ten to twenty in total, while tightly clutching the Golden Brick Talisman treasure in his hand. 

 

As he ran, he kept looking back at the approaching trio.

 

“Friend, please stop.”

 

“Friend, why are you running so fast? I’m just here to get to know you and make friends.” 

 

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

 

The three continued to chase relentlessly, shouting as they approached.

 

“Making friends, huh? Well, making friends happens to be my favorite pastime.” 

 

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng stopped his steps and looked indifferent as he watched the three individuals gradually approaching him.

 

Just as the three entered the range of his spell attacks, Lu Changsheng activated all the talismans in his hand.

 

Immediately, the talismans burst into radiant light.

 

Some of them, under Lu Changsheng’s control, turned into faint golden lights, water curtains, and vines that enveloped Lu Changsheng’s body.

 

While most of them transformed into fist-sized fireballs, water spheres, thick arrows, and sharp crescents.

 

They all shot at the approaching trio, whistling through the air.

 

“Oh no!”

 

“Be careful!”

 

“This guy still has so many talismans!”

 

Seeing Lu Changsheng unleash so many talismans at once, the three of them were also taken aback and caught off guard.

 

They were all at the sixth or seventh level of qi refinement, and it was difficult for them to defend themselves against such a barrage of talismans.

 

However, they were all experienced individuals in the cultivation world.

 

Without some skills, they wouldn’t dare to rob cultivators.

 

One of the shorter figures also took out several talismans and quickly activated them, quickly casting spells with flashes of yellow light in his hand.

 

“Earth Wall Technique!”

 

A thick wall of earth quickly rose from the ground, blocking the incoming barrage of talismans.

 

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

 

However, under the fierce firepower of this onslaught of talismans, the walls of earth quickly disintegrated.

 

Just as the walls were about to collapse completely, one of the tall, thin figures among the three had already summoned a black shield.

 

The shield expanded rapidly as it flew out of his hand, spinning in the air and emitting a dark black light, withstanding the fierce firepower of the talismans.

 

The last of the three, a stocky man in a yellow robe, then summoned a flying knife several inches long.

 

The flying knife turned into a white streak and shot straight at Lu Changsheng’s forehead.

 

At the same time, they felt a shocking aura emanating from Lu Changsheng’s body.

 

Only to see Lu Changsheng’s black robe fluttering without a breeze, making a rustling sound, with bursts of golden light emanating from his hand.

 

A rectangular object dazzling with golden light came out of his hand and shot up quickly, expanding rapidly in the air.

 

It caused the flying knife to slow down.

 

And they felt the amazing aura and power emanating from that object!

 

“This guy is a really fat sheep. Not only do he have so many talismans, but he also has such treasures!” 

 

The short, thin man saw this and his eyes lit up with joy.

 

However, the burly man in the yellow robe who had summoned the flying knife saw the rapidly enlarging golden brick, and his pupils constricted as he realized its origin.

 

“Artifact!”

 

He shouted hastily, his deep voice filled with fear.

 

“What!?”

 

“Artifact?”

 

The other two men were stunned to hear this.

 

Looking at the golden brick that had already grown to the size of a small house in the sky, their eyes suddenly widened in shock.

 

Before they could think about it, the golden brick was surrounded by spiritual energy, emitting a terrifying pressure.

 

As a result, the three of them felt like they were carrying a mountain on their backs, their bodies were heavy, their spiritual energy was sluggish, and they were unable to move.

 

Danger!

 

Great danger!

 

At that moment, the three of them felt a strong sense of death looming over them, and they all cried out in panic, begging for mercy.

 

“Friend, let’s talk!”

 

“Friend, spare my life, spare my life! I was wrong, I was blind!”

 

“Lord, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, please spare me, please take away your divine power and let me go!”

 

At that moment they felt surreal.

 

Absolutely surreal, so surreal that it was beyond belief, beyond comprehension.

 

A third-level Qi Refining cultivator who came to such a small place to attend a trade show actually possessed an artifact!

 

This is outrageous. 

 

If you have magical treasures, why are you running away?

 

If you just revealed your magical treasures, why would we dare to chase after you?

 

We’d just turn around and leave, maybe even apologize.

 

Who just uses magic treasures without a word like that!

 

It’s a waste to use magic treasures to kill people like us!

 

Do we deserve it!?

 

At that moment, the three of them were simply at a loss for words.

 

The pressure from the Golden Brick was so overwhelming that they couldn’t even speak.

 

Like a small mountain, the Golden Brick crashed down heavily on the three of them.

 

“Bang!!!”

 

A deafening sound echoed, making the entire Niutou Mountain seem to shake violently.
