“`Under the enhancement of the Featherweight Talisman, Lu Changsheng moved as light as a swallow and with the stride of a vigorous walker.
Just as he reached halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard noises from behind.
Turning his head to look back.
He immediately saw three figures wearing conical hats, moving as swiftly as the wind, rapidly descending from the mountain.
In that instant, Lu Changsheng’s heart gave a fierce pound and his face darkened.
Had he been targeted?!
This was Lu Changsheng’s first thought.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
When he had ascended the mountain, he hadn’t encountered a single person.
And now, as soon as he descended, three people were immediately coming down too, all in such a hurry.
Moreover.
The faces of the three figures were obscured by their conical hats.
But Lu Changsheng caught a glimpse of a robust figure wearing a yellow robe, vaguely recalling him.
It seemed like this person had purchased talismans from him before.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng was at least 60 to 70 percent certain these three were coming for him.
Damn it, he had been so careful and restrained, revealing only a few talismans for sale, and yet he had still been marked.
A faint gloom appeared on Lu Changsheng’s face.
Without further thought, he immediately took out a middle-grade, first-grade Windwalking Talisman and activated it with spiritual power.
Suddenly, a cyclone of dark green wind swirled around his body, giving him wind at his heels and a tremendous burst of speed.
He hurtled forward like a gust of wind, his cloak fluttering loudly and his hood blown off, causing even his face to sting a bit.
“A Windwalking Talisman?”
“This kid actually has middle-grade talismans!”
“To be able to take out so many talismans for sale, he’s indeed a fat sheep!”
The three chasing after Lu Changsheng, upon seeing this, had their eyes brighten and also picked up their speed.
In their eyes, Lu Changsheng was now a fat sheep ready for slaughtering!
“Swish, swish, swish!”
After a swift dash by Lu Changsheng, seeing that the three pursuers were not only not thrown off but were instead getting closer, his expression turned ugly.
At this moment, there was no need to think to know that these three were after him, intent on killing and robbing.
Moreover, even under the enhancement of a Featherweight Talisman and a Windwalking Talisman, he still couldn’t shake off the three men.
That indicated their cultivation levels were much higher than his.
At least Sixth Level Energy Refinement, or even Seventh Level.
“Since I can’t escape, then I’ll have to fight!”
Knowing that running was no longer an option and would only waste his strength, a fierce and ruthless look appeared in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.
Immediately, his arm, concealed under the black cloak, drew out a handful of talismans from his storage bag, numbering ten to twenty sheets.
At the same time, he gripped the ‘Golden Light Brick’ talisman treasure in his hand, all the while sprinting and constantly looking back at the three who were rapidly closing in on him.
“Fellow Daoist, please halt.”
“Fellow Daoist, why rush so? I merely seek to get to know you better, to make a friend.”
“Indeed, we just want to be friends with you.”
The three relentlessly pursued him, closing the distance, shouting as they chased.
“Wanting to be friends, are you? Making friends is what I love most.”
Hearing these words, Lu Changsheng stopped in his tracks, his expression indifferent as he watched the three men drawing nearer.
As the three entered the range for a spell attack in an instant, Lu Changsheng activated all the talismans in his hand at once.
Instantly, the talismans burst into light.
Some talismans, under Lu Changsheng’s control of spiritual power, turned into faint golden glows, water screens, and entwining vines, enveloping his entire body.
Most of the talismans, however, transformed into fist-sized fireballs, water orbs, arm-thick sharp arrows, and keen crescents…
They all shot towards the three pursuers, whistling fiercely as they flew.
“Not good!”
“Careful!”
“This kid actually has so many talismans!?”
The three, noting Lu Changsheng’s move and use of so many talismans at once, were taken aback and somewhat caught off guard.“`
They were all cultivators at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refinement, facing so many talisman attacks at once, they also found it somewhat difficult to parry.
However, the three of them were also experienced in the ways of the world.
Without some skill, they wouldn’t dare to act as robber cultivators.
One among them, a short and thin figure, also took out several talismans and activated them, casting spells quickly, with yellow light flickering in his hands.
“Earth Wall Technique!”
One could see that thick earthen walls rapidly rose from the ground, blocking the oncoming talisman assault.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
But under the fierce firepower of this group of talismans, the earthen walls were rapidly disintegrating.
Just as the earthen walls were about to be completely disintegrated, one of the three, a tall and thin figure, had already brought out a black shield.
The shield rapidly grew in size as it left his hand, spinning in the air and emitting a dark, mysterious light, bearing the violent firepower of the talismans.
The last of the three, a burly man clad in a yellow robe, brought out a flying dagger several inches long.
The flying dagger transformed into a streak of white rainbow, flying straight towards Lu Changsheng’s forehead.
However, at the same time.
They also felt a startling aura emanating from Lu Changsheng.
One could see Lu Changsheng’s black cloak fluttering without wind, rustling loudly, with golden light bursting forth from his hands.
A golden, gleaming rectangular object appeared from his hands, shooting upward, quickly enlarging in the air.
Causing the oncoming flying dagger to slow down.
And the startling aura, the mana, was coming from this very object!
“This kid is really loaded, not only with so many talismans but also such a treasure, jackpot!”
The short and thin man said with joy in his eyes upon seeing this.
However, the burly man in the yellow robe, who had brought out the flying dagger, saw the rapidly enlarging gold brick and his pupils contracted, recognizing its origin.
“Talisman Treasure!”
He hastily yelled out, his deep voice filled with fear.
“What!?”
“Talisman Treasure?”
The other two, hearing this, were momentarily stunned.
Staring at the object in the air that had now transformed into the size of a small house, like a mini mountain of golden light, their pupils immediately dilated and their faces showed panic.
Without giving them time to think, the golden brick surrounded by Spiritual Energy radiated golden light in all directions, emitting a terrifying pressure.
This pressure made the three feel as if they were carrying a great mountain on their backs, their bodies suddenly heavy, their Spiritual Power sluggish, unable to move.
Danger!
Great danger!
At this moment, the three keenly felt a sense of death looming over them and shouted in unison, frantically begging for mercy.
“Fellow Daoist, let’s talk this out!”
“Fellow Daoist, spare my life, please! I was wrong, I was blind…”
“Big brother, I have an eighty-year-old mother at home, a three-year-old child; please put away your Divine Skills and spare me!”
At this moment, they felt it was preposterous.
Absolutely preposterous to the extreme, as if preposterousness itself was opening the door for preposterousness, preposterousness had come home.
A cultivator at the Third Level Energy Refinement, coming to a small place like this to attend a trade conference, actually possessed a Talisman Treasure!
This was completely absurd.
If you have a Talisman Treasure at your side, why run?
If you just showed the Talisman Treasure, would we even dare to chase you?
We would turn around and leave, even apologize profusely.
Who pulls out a Talisman Treasure at the drop of a hat?
Isn’t it wasteful to kill people like us with a Talisman Treasure!?
Do we deserve it!?
At this moment, the three didn’t even know what to say.
The pressure of the golden light brick rendered them speechless.
The golden light brick, massive as a small mountain, slammed down heavily towards the three.
“Bang!!!”
A thunderous sound echoed, making the whole Bullhead Mountain seem to shake violently.
