A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 62 Kneel down
The sharp edge sliced ​​through the air, tearing it apart.

That cold glint almost chopped off Senior Brother Lu's head.

The light barrier formed by the low-level high-level defensive talisman during his incantation shattered into scattered sparks with a loud bang before it could even take shape. The entire talisman instantly burned and turned to ashes.

"My high-level talisman..."

This sight caused Lu Chengfeng's pupils to contract sharply.

That's a high-level, basic defensive talisman. Even without fully reciting the incantation to activate it completely, the protective barrier it creates should still possess strong defensive properties. To break through this defense, at least a top-tier magical artifact would need to be used at full power.

At the same time, realizing that he had lost a high-level talisman, he felt extremely heartbroken.

He only had four cards left, and he'd already used one.

Then, what followed was a strong sense of lingering fear and a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he kept an eye on everything around him.

He is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding winds!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to react in time, and his head would probably have already been severed.

And thanks to the brief buffer time bought by the defensive rune,
What is attacking me from behind?

At this moment, Lu's hair had been cut off and he was disheveled.

But he didn't have time to fix his hair ornament. He only had time to roll around on the ground like a lazy donkey, dodging the damage while frantically taking out a second talisman from his storage bag at his waist and putting on another layer of defense for himself.

Another high-level defensive talisman.

However, it wasn't brand new.

It was obtained by him after he tricked that senior sister back then, and the previous card that was ruined also belonged to that senior sister.

This shows that the flapping of a butterfly's wings influenced the timeline several years ago.

At this moment, before the cyan light shield generated by the talisman could quickly take shape, Lu Chengfeng had already stood up and looked around, searching for the figure that had just attacked him.

Soon, he saw a mantis the size of a washbasin, entirely green, on a branch of a large tree.

"A Jade Mantis? And a top-tier level 1 one at that?"

Upon confirming the mantis's identity as a demonic beast, Senior Brother Lu was immediately taken aback:
"How could there be such a top-tier level 1 wild monster in the Taiyue Mountains?"

If this thing had appeared, it should have been collected by a passing sect elder long ago.

Moreover, the sect conducts a thorough search of the Taiyue Mountains every ten years, treating any spawned demonic beasts as resources to be harvested. Under such circumstances, it is even less likely that high-level or top-level level 1 demonic beasts will appear.

"No, this isn't wild..."

Someone's directing from behind?!

Looking into the Jade Mantis's compound eyes, Lu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. He could almost see the sinister smile of the person behind the beast who was commanding it in battle.

Behind this demonic beast are cultivators.

"How to do?"

Escape?

No, there's no escaping it.

The Jade Mantis's flight speed was slightly faster than his flying sword, so he definitely couldn't outfly it. Moreover, if he flew on his sword, a portion of his magical power would be diverted to the sword, further reducing his chances of resisting the Jade Mantis.

Therefore, we must deal with this top-tier demonic beast head-on first.

However, with his strength, dealing with this top-tier demonic beast was extremely difficult, not to mention that there was also a cultivator secretly watching.

"Damn it, how come there are cultivators in such a remote place?"

Huddled within a defensive light barrier, Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures. At the same time, he continuously brandished the exquisite top-tier magic weapon, the Azure Dragon Banner, forcefully unleashing wind blades with power comparable to mid-tier wind-type spells.

Unfortunately, the Jade Mantis, launching its second attack, was not only incredibly fast in a straight line but also exceptionally agile. The wind blades merely cleaved the trunks of the large trees in the grove, failing to even touch the mantis.

Worse still, the defensive talisman he reactivated did not give him any sense of security. Under the Jade Mantis's repeated attacks, the light barrier teetered on the brink of collapse, clearly not lasting much longer.

The instant the light barrier shattered, he summoned a high-grade magical artifact, a rope. He used the rope, which coiled around himself, to protect himself from the bladed legs of the emerald mantis that had dodged all the wind blades and pressed forward.

A flash of light, a mixture of blue and gold, appeared on the blade's foot.

The Golden Jade Technique, a beginner-to-advanced spell, can greatly enhance sharpness. This is one of the reasons why top-tier demonic beasts are so dangerous.

The Jade Mantis can only apply magic to the blades of its legs right now; otherwise, it could be even more ferocious.

With a "ding," sparks flew everywhere, and to Senior Brother Lu's horror, his superior-grade magic weapon rope had actually been cut open.

Although it was just a shallow gash, it was still a shocking sight to him.

Even high-grade magical artifacts can be damaged?

That beast is so vicious.

But what's even more hateful are the guys hiding in the shadows:

"Who exactly are you? Come out and let me die knowing why."

"Humph."

A soft hum came from the woods.

The next moment, Han Li's figure emerged from behind several large trees.

"Twelfth level of Qi Refining?"

Upon seeing the newcomer's cultivation level and the fact that the Jade Mantis was positioned far away from him, Senior Brother Lu was initially taken aback, but then his mind began to race.

"Who is your Excellency?"

At this moment, Han Li was not wearing the yellow silk robe that was standard for Huangfeng Valley disciples, and he was also wearing a mask to conceal his appearance, so Lu did not recognize him at first.

"My lord, we have no past grievances or present enmity. I'll give you this woman; will you let me leave in return? Rest assured, I haven't touched her; she's pure. Furthermore, I've already given her a love potion, perfect for sexual intercourse and sedation. Once the medicine takes effect, you can have whatever you want; she'll obediently cooperate, guaranteeing your satisfaction..."

Senior Brother Lu is still fighting for a sliver of hope.

At the same time, they are also vying for front-line fighter jets.

If we can seize that last chance, we might be able to turn the tide.

And that fighter jet actually appeared.

For a fleeting moment, the masked man's gaze fell upon the Chen family woman standing on the ground beside him: There was something going on.

Although this made him extremely uncomfortable, since Junior Sister Chen was his, he also realized that Junior Sister Chen's existence had greatly attracted the other party's attention.

This is the opportunity.

However, Han Li's next words caused his expression to change drastically, turning ashen:

"Kneel down."

Lu Chengfeng thought he had misheard.

Until Han Li spoke again:
"Kneel down, put away your little spiritual root, and throw away the flag in your hand, or you will die."

Senior Brother Lu was furious.

Isn't it just because he has a top-tier demonic beast that he acts so arrogantly?
Do you want to give up the resistance?

impossible!
"I'll say it one more time, kneel down."

Han Li reached into his storage bag and found several high-level beginner talismans and over a dozen mid-level talismans in his hand. The high-level talismans were on top of the mid-level ones, and they all looked presentable, being offensive talismans. In his other hand, he had two more mid-level talismans, the kind used for binding and immobilizing. "Firepower is justice," Han Li knew this principle well!

Upon seeing this, Lu Chengfeng opened his mouth, inwardly cursing.

He also truly realized that the other party was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

The anger that had just risen was immediately suppressed by the shadow of death.

What can he do?
Do you dare to resist?

He only had one low-level high-grade wind wall talisman and one low-level high-grade wind array talisman left that were usable. They were absolutely no match for the dozen talismans on the other side, not to mention the extremely rare intermediate talismans and the top-grade jade mantis among them.

Faced with such an arrogant opponent with allies, his fate is precarious.

If the stalemate continues, and the other side runs out of patience, I'll be doomed. If I abandon my dignity, there's still a sliver of hope: if the other side lets their guard down and focuses more attention on Chen Qiaoqian…

That sliver of opportunity will surely come, and I will definitely be able to seize it.

Once he seizes that one opportunity, everything the other party has will be his!
'My own dignity?'

If it can bring you everything in return, then it's worth it.

"Clap."

He threw away the Azure Dragon Banner, put on his trousers, and then took two steps forward and knelt down.

Their fingers were clenched on the ground, yet they dared not express any dissatisfaction.

Tired of ah.

However, the protective shield formed by the defensive runes on his body did not dissipate.

This was his bottom line, and also Han Li's test.

Why did Han Li show himself? Why did he go through all that trouble? Why not have the Jade Mantis kill that guy surnamed Lu first?

Wu Ta: Chen Qiaoqian.

The main problem was that the first sneak attack failed, which put Chen Qiaoqian in an awkward position, right next to Lu Chengfeng.

If you push that guy Lu too far, that bastard might just ruthlessly drag someone down with him.

Considering that he had been monitoring Lu Chengfeng through Dong Xuan'er's channels, if something happened to both of them, he would be in deep trouble. Wouldn't Dong Xuan'er misunderstand and think he killed them for the two Foundation Establishment Pills?

This is not a mere coincidence of the original trajectory.

Therefore, after his first sneak attack failed, he could only frustratingly create opportunities for Lu Chengfeng.

Create opportunities to distance oneself from Chen Qiaoqian and avoid accidentally harming this woman:
"That bastard, he was already planning to rape and kill me, yet he was still paying attention to his surroundings. He's quite alert..."

Then he showed up.

Senior Brother Lu was unaware of these things.

Even after kneeling down, he was still defending himself against the scriptures:
"Your Excellency, this woman is a beauty of unparalleled grace and a cultivator with dual spiritual roots. Her aptitude is truly remarkable; reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is only a matter of time. Her primordial yin essence is still intact; absorbing it will undoubtedly benefit one's cultivation, making her a rare and valuable target for cultivation. Once she reaches Foundation Establishment, simply absorbing her essence daily will greatly enhance one's cultivation efficiency..."

"If you allow me to leave, this woman will be yours."

At this moment, Senior Brother Lu knelt down on both knees, his face full of flattery.

Full of sincerity.

Seeing that the newcomer's attention was entirely focused on Chen Qiaoqian's body, he silently gritted his teeth and counted in his mind:

"Twenty zhang... eighteen zhang... fifteen zhang..."

"I'm coming!"

Closer, even closer!

You only have one chance to make your move!
Han Li thought, "That bastard is really patient, and he even chose the perfect angle to drop the item..." It was just within the range that the Jade Mantis could retrieve before it could act again.

Although it is said that the Azure Dragon Flag was thrown away, it can actually be retrieved at any time.

Thirteen feet…

Twelve feet…

Still getting closer…

Ten feet!

Within ten zhang!

Arrived.

opportunity.

"It's now!"

Suddenly, the docile lamb transformed into a hungry wolf, its raised eyes flashing with ferocity, all traces of its previous submissiveness gone. Enhancing itself with wind magic, it pounced on Han Li like a whirlwind.

As he darted out, he touched the storage pouch at his waist and reluctantly took out a low-level high-grade talisman.

This talisman is called the "Wind Array Talisman".

It can unleash nearly twenty mid-level wind blades in an instant.

It was comparable to the charged attack of the Azure Dragon Banner that he could control.

This was a trump card he had prepared for himself over the past two years, besides the Azure Dragon Flag.

"Die!!"

Its face was twisted and ferocious.

opposite.

Han Li had completely abandoned his lustful gaze towards Chen Qiaoqian; there was no trace of the greed that had been blinded by beauty in his eyes. Instead, his expression was one of mockery and ridicule.

Before a barrage of wind blades several feet long attacked him, he had already activated his divine sense, remaining vigilant about his surroundings. His Luo Yan Wind-Riding Steps were also secretly activated, ready to be launched instantly. Sure enough, just as Senior Brother Lu launched his attack, his movements were as nimble as a ghost, far faster than Lu, who was enhanced by wind-based magic.
All the wind blades were dodged instantly after they were launched.

"Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell..."

Lu Chengfeng became anxious and used all his magical power to control the wind blades that were shot out by the wind array talismans.

Han Li, on the other hand, was prepared.

Two chains shot out from the storage pouch at his waist, fiercely striking the pursuing wind blades, each chain emitting a series of crisp sounds. The wind blades dissipated one by one, while the Azure Dragon Chains remained intact.

High-quality, top-tier magical artifacts are not easily damaged by low- or mid-tier wind blades.

"It's you, the one surnamed Han?"

How could it be you?
Lu Chengfeng exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh? You recognized me?"

Han Li squinted.

He then thought of the Azure Dragon Chains that were being activated.

It suddenly became clear.
