Chapter 287 - 137: Foundation Establishment Ambush, Treasure Bones Emerge!_3
“No matter what treasure you have, it’s all mine now!”
The red-robed youth laughed heartily, his palm closing as the Red Phoenix Pearl hovering above his head radiated a dazzling light, shining towards Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue.
The ghostly white little sword broke through the Five-Colored Tortoise Shell and, with a ‘whoosh,’ charged towards Lu Changsheng.
The brilliance from the Red Phoenix Pearl caused Lu Changsheng’s figure to suddenly stiffen, feeling as if his surroundings were sealed off and his spiritual power flowing sluggishly within him.
He knew this was the gap between the realms of Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment.
Not daring to hold back any longer, he slapped his Storage Bag.
Suddenly, a two-meter-tall Metal Puppet appeared in front of him, its body pitch-black, wielding a knife in one hand, a shield in the other, and carrying five dark javelins on its back.
It was the Second Rank Puppet he had forged, which had been lying dormant in his Storage Bag gathering dust!
“Clang!”
Facing the ghostly white Flying Sword, the Metal Puppet stepped forward, shield at the ready, creating a metallic clang and sparks flying in all directions.
Immediately after, the Black Gold Long Knife in the puppet’s hand fiercely swung out, mighty and unyielding, striking the ghostly white Flying Sword with another deafening clang.
“You also have a Second Rank Puppet? Seems like you’re not as simple as you look, kid.”
The red-robed youth watched this scene, chuckled lightly, still appearing nonchalant and unconcerned.
But the next moment.
“Hm? A Talisman Treasure!”
He saw that in Lu Changsheng’s hands, an aura was spreading.
A golden, rectangular object shot out, rapidly enlarging in the air, shining brightly, causing his expression to change subtly.
Even as a Foundation Building Great Cultivator, facing a Talisman Treasure like this, he felt a bit troubled.
“It seems you really aren’t simple, kid. Since that’s the case, then go to your death!”
The red-robed youth, seeing that Lu Changsheng had both a Second Rank Puppet and a Talisman Treasure, dropped the cat-and-mouse attitude.
His hands formed a Spiritual Art, and one by one, Evil Pythons appeared, their momentum fierce as they charged towards Lu Changsheng, prepared for a quick battle.
Xiao Xiyue, with a pale face and blood spilling from her mouth, was astonished by Lu Changsheng’s actions.
Her beautiful face showed disbelief.
Having been in close contact for so long, she naturally realized that Lu Changsheng was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
He surely had hidden his abilities, his secrets.
As for this, she did not question or care about it too much.
After all, which Cultivator does not have some fortune and secrets on them?
But she never would have guessed that Lu Changsheng had hidden his powers so deeply.
Producing a Second Rank Puppet and a Talisman Treasure unexpectedly.
Especially when Lu Changsheng activated the Talisman Treasure, with the aura of spiritual power surging around his body.
It allowed her to approximately perceive that Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level and strength must be the same as hers, at Qi Refinement Perfection.
However, seeing that Lu Changsheng had such strength and measures to escape on his own, yet chose to fight by revealing himself in order to save her, it made her heart flutter, spawning an inexplicable emotion.
But at this moment, she did not pay attention to this feeling, taking out a golden talisman paper from her Storage Bag.
“Buzz buzz buzz!!!”
Xiao Xiyue stimulated the talisman paper with her spiritual power, causing a small golden sword to appear, emitting a terrifying might.
This turned out to also be a Talisman Treasure.
“Huh? Another Talisman Treasure!?”
The red-robed youth saw this, his eyes flickered, and his expression darkened.
Before he acted, he had guessed that these Qi Refinement juniors would certainly have treasures to defend themselves.
But he did not expect that there would be this additional complication.
Two Qi Refinement juniors, each possessing a Talisman Treasure.
“But they are just two Qi Refinement juniors, even with Talisman Treasures, how can they unleash their full power?”
The red-robed youth scoffed, smacked his belt, and a set of black armor appeared, which he put on.
After all, even though it was just talk, the unleashed power of two Talisman Treasures could potentially injure him if he was careless.
“Roar roar roar!”
Meanwhile, the nine Evil Pythons had already furiously charged right in front of Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng was fully focused on activating the golden brick Talisman Treasure when he saw this sight, his fingers squeezing an activated Supreme Talisman—a Thunder Talisman.
At this moment, as he activated the golden brick Talisman Treasure and controlled the Second Rank Puppet, he found it difficult to use another Second Rank Talisman.
Under his Puppet Control Technique, the Second Rank Puppet, which was clashing head-on with the ghostly white Flying Sword, suddenly had all five javelins on its back shoot up into the sky.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh—”
Like thunder and lightning, they turned into five black bolts of lightning, and together they rushed toward the Nine-Headed Evil Python, fiercely and powerfully.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
Every one of the five javelins, each as powerful as a strike from someone of the Foundation Establishment Stage, collided with the Nine-Headed Evil Python, causing an explosive booming noise.
But during this collision, Lu Changsheng could distinctly feel that the Middle Grade Spirit Stones within the puppet’s core were being rapidly consumed, unable to keep up with the onslaught of the enemy’s attacks.
“We must end this battle quickly!”
Lu Changsheng also knew that in this situation, his side could not afford to drag the fight out.
Every casual attack from his opponent forced him to use all his techniques.
Looking up at the sky, where the golden brick now resembled a small mountain, Lu Changsheng’s mind shifted slightly.
He poured his entire Mental Spirit and Spiritual Power into controlling the Talisman Treasure.
“Boom!”
The mountainous, radiant golden brick, with its heavy and pure aura, plummeted down towards the red-robed youth.
“Chi!”
Faced with the surging momentum of the falling golden brick, the youth dared not underestimate it and let out a low shout.
The Red Phoenix Pearl above his head spun rapidly, radiating intense red light, making the surroundings appear as if engulfed by a blazing cloud, rising to meet the golden brick bearing down like a formidable mountain.
“Rumble rumble!”
The two treasures collided, their might surging, locking the golden and red light in a standoff mid-air.
And at that moment, Xiao Xiyue’s Talisman Treasure, the golden little sword, also burst forth.
This little golden sword, nearly pushed to its limit by Xiao Xiyue, displayed an incredible might and suddenly closed in on the red-robed youth.
