209: Lu Chen made his move.

Five Talismans simultaneously ignited with spiritual flames of different colors in mid-air.

The purple lightning Talisman transformed into a wandering lightning snake, the red flame Talisman burst forth with sparks filling the sky, the green wind Talisman stirred up visible air currents, the brown earth Talisman vibrated with ground ripples, and the mystic water Talisman condensed into crystalline ice.

How could the farmers of Lu Family Village have ever witnessed such Immortal methods?

A few timid youths directly collapsed to the ground;

Village Chief Lu Zhengde's pipe clattered to the ground, his body trembling;

They had only heard about it from others before, but only after seeing it with their own eyes did they realize the power of Immortals.

Many people saw an Immortal's Spell for the first time and screamed, "Immortal, spare our lives!"

Lu Chen, however, curled his lips into a cold smile and pulled out a palm-sized bronze shield.

As Spiritual Qi was injected, the turtle shell pattern on the shield surface glowed with a faint blue light, rapidly expanding to the size of a door panel.

Even more astonishingly, a lifelike phantom of a mystic turtle emerged on the shield surface, with liquid-like Spiritual Qi flowing between the turtle shell patterns, enveloping Lu Chen and the entire village in a light blue barrier.

"A mere Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator also possesses a Magic Treasure?" Lin Xuanxiao's white beard fluttered in the surging Spiritual Qi, a mocking expression appearing on his face, "Does the light of a firefly dare to compete with the bright moon? Break!"

All the Talisman Spells bombarded it, but the next second, they all exploded and vanished.

Lin Xuanxiao's eyes nearly popped out in shock.

"This is, this is Zhao Ting's High Grade defensive Magic Treasure, the mystic turtle shield! Why is it in your hands? And how can an Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator possibly wield a High Grade Magic Treasure!"

Magic Treasures of different qualities require different amounts of Spiritual Qi.

For example, an Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator can generally only use Low Grade Magic Treasures. If they forcibly use a High Grade Magic Treasure, due to insufficient Spiritual Qi or insufficient Spiritual Qi quality, even if the Magic Treasure is activated, its effect will be halved, or it might even backfire.

Lu Chen said in a booming voice, "Old man, I'm giving you one last chance. It's still not too late to escape now, otherwise, I'm afraid you'll regret it later!"

Lin Xuanxiao laughed! He roared with laughter!

"No wonder Lin Changyuan was so eager to invite me down the mountain to eliminate you! You are indeed arrogant! Today, let me show you the foundation of the Cloud Talisman Sect, one of the Hundred Great Immortal Cultivation Sects!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuanxiao took out his Lifebound Treasure—the flowing cloud brush, made entirely of jade.

With a flick of his wrist, the brush tip traced a faint golden trajectory in the Void Realm, and the scattered Spiritual Qi condensed into ink.

The brush moved like a Dragon and a snake, and the outline of a fierce tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead gradually appeared—first the metallic claws, then the fur covered with Spiritual Qi patterns, and finally the beast eyes burning with blood-red flames.

"Roar—!"

The moment it formed, this fierce tiger, composed of pure spiritual energy, let out an earth-shattering roar, its sound waves overturning all the grass within thirty paces.

Even more terrifying was the fierce glint in its beast eyes, possessing the prestige of a king of beasts, making the villagers watching from afar tremble in fear, and several children cried out in terror on the spot.

As Lin Xuanxiao pressed down with his brush, the fierce tiger, like a golden lightning bolt, pounced towards the mystic turtle shield, the strong wind it generated grinding all the scattered stones along its path into dust.

Lu Chen's expression was stern as he summoned his second Magic Treasure! The white bone heart-locking chain!

The chain, composed of nine sections of pale bones, was like a awakened venomous snake.

"Go!"

Lu Chen roared, and the white bone chain shot through the air, precisely coiling around the spiritual tiger's neck.

The fierce tiger struggled desperately, and the more it struggled, the tighter the chain constricted.

Finally, Lin Xuanxiao became serious: "You, an Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, can actually maintain two Magic Treasures at the same time? Heavens, what kind of peerless Spiritual Root is this! If I can offer you to the Sect Head, perhaps the Sect Head might grant me an Elder position!"

In Lin Xuanxiao's view, an Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, no matter how strong, could never be a match for a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator.

Lin Xuanxiao directly activated his Divine Sense!

Kneel before me!

A crimson vertical line appeared between Lin Xuanxiao's eyebrows.

As his robes billowed without wind, a visible wave of Divine Sense spread out like a tangible entity.

"Kneel before me!"

This sharp cry, imbued with the pressure of Late Stage Qi Refining Great Perfection, instantly swept across the entire Lu Family Village.

The scattered stones on the ground trembled, all the vegetation within a hundred zhang bent over, and the mortal villagers were pressed down by an invisible large hand on their shoulders, their knees heavily sinking into the mud.

Even Bai Jingjing, who possessed extraordinary Cultivation, turned pale, her slender fingers digging deep into the green bricks of the ground, yet she still couldn't resist this suppression from the Soul level, finally falling to her knees with a thud.

As the dust settled, only Lu Chen remained standing tall like a pine, enveloped in a thin, cicada-wing-like, faint golden aura, and the Divine Sense waves attempting to oppress him crumbled upon contact.

To prevent being overwhelmed by the Divine Sense pressure of higher Realms, Lu Chen had cultivated the Divine Illumination Seamless Art in advance, and his Soul and Divine Sense were already comparable to a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator.

"What! This is absolutely impossible!" Lin Xuanxiao's shriveled face twitched violently. He had lived for two hundred years and had never seen such a Prodigy—a mere Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, yet his Divine Sense intensity actually firmly surpassed his own.

Lu Chen said in a booming voice, "It's my turn, for me! Kneel!"

Lu Chen's eyes blazed with golden light, and he uttered four true words: "Divine Illumination Seamless Art!"

In an instant, the world changed color, and a Divine Sense power several times stronger than Lin Xuanxiao's pressed back, making the old man feel as if a mountain of ten thousand jun was smashing down on his head.

His spine let out a groaning sound under the unbearable weight, and his knees bent uncontrollably, only barely stabilizing his body when he was three inches from the ground.

Lin Xuanxiao, after all, was an old fox who had lived for two hundred years. He immediately cowered and quickly fled!

His body transformed into a wisp of green smoke, riding the wind to escape!

The dragon fiend spear in Lu Chen's hand had already locked on!

Die!

Lu Chen threw his arm, and the dragon fiend spear actually transformed into a ten-zhang golden Dragon, breaking through the air.

The golden Dragon's scales and claws were distinct, and its wide-open, blood-red mouth condensed with a sharp metal Qi powerful enough to pierce mountains.

Even more terrifying was that the spear's momentum had completely locked onto Lin Xuanxiao's Qi, following him like a shadow no matter how he changed direction.

"Qi Refining Transformation?!" Lin Xuanxiao was scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. This was a supreme technique that only Late Stage Qi Refining Perfection Cultivators could master.

In a panic, he bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of vital blood onto the flowing cloud brush, and with a stroke of the brush like a Dragon and a snake, he drew a blood-colored flood Dragon.

At the same time, he threw out all the remaining Talismans in his Storage Pouch—lightning Talismans, fire Talismans, and ice Talismans rained down on the golden Dragon, exploding in the air into dazzling spiritual power fireworks.

However—

The golden Dragon formed by the dragon fiend spear actually opened its abyss-like maw, and those Talisman attacks capable of destroying mountains were like mud oxen entering the sea, failing to even stir up a single wave.

The blood-colored flood Dragon was even pierced by the dragon fiend spear, disintegrating inch by inch, and then completely devoured.

Lin Xuanxiao was struck by lightning, the backfire from his Lifebound Treasure causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood, falling directly from the sky and heavily slamming onto the ground.

Lu Chen put away his Magic Treasure and walked step by step towards Lin Xuanxiao, with a friendly smile: "Old man, how are you? Does it hurt to fall? Do you need me to help you up?"
