392: Chapter 36 All-Out Attack on the Mountain

As soon as Meng Li took out the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd, Yuan Tao, whose heart was filled with greed, spotted it.

In an instant, he realized this Treasure-Swallowing Gourd could absorb Magical Artifacts. His expression changed slightly; he felt uneasy, yet a desire to win surged within him.

That kid from Jia Family Village only knew Object Manipulation; he was merely a Sword Immortal, not an Artifact Refiner.

His throwing knives possessed no special supernatural abilities; they could only be considered Sharp Weapons, not Magical Artifacts, so it was normal for them to be absorbed.

But I am a legitimate Artifact Refiner, and the Nine Dragon Sons possess independent supernatural abilities; they are truly Magical Artifacts.

Magical Artifact versus Magical Artifact—he didn't believe the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd could absorb the Baxia Dharma Bead he had nurtured for many years, and then...

"Precious one, please enter!"

The spell-like call rang out, and Yuan Tao immediately found the connection between himself and the Baxia Dharma Bead severed, causing him to freeze in shock. Then, he watched with his own eyes as the treasure he had nurtured for many years flew toward the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd and was swallowed whole by it.

"How is this possible?!"

Yuan Tao looked utterly incredulous, even with the facts laid out before him.

At this moment, Lu Jin, who had been observing in secret, appeared and laughed loudly, "Haha, Yuan Tao, nothing is impossible."

Almost simultaneously, Lu Linglong, Zhi Jinhua, Cang Long, Xiao Xiao, and others from the younger generation summoned by Lu Jin also revealed themselves.

Yuan Tao snapped back to reality, realizing this was a trap, and without hesitation, he commanded, "Retreat!"

With that, he turned and fled.

The other few Quan Xing Extraordinary People also scattered in different directions to escape.

Seeing this, Lu Jin waved his hand.

Lu Linglong, Zhi Jinhua, and the others immediately formed teams and split up to pursue the fleeing Quan Xing Extraordinary People.

Afterward, Lu Jin asked Meng Li, "Young man Bai, are you going to act alone, or stay with this old man?"

Meng Li dispelled the protective white light shield, put away the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd, and smiled, "I just finished studying the Heavenly Scroll and want to practice a bit. I'll go with Elder Lu."

As he finished speaking, he mobilized the Qi within his body, condensing it at his fingertips, using his finger as a brush to draw patterns in the air rhythmically.

In just a few breaths, a Ding Fire Talisman was drawn and landed on the corpse of the short-haired youth who had just been decapitated by a sword, transforming into crimson flames and incinerating it.

Lu Jin's gaze sharpened, and he was inwardly astonished.

How long has this kid had the Heavenly Scroll? Less than a day, yet he can already draw a Ding Fire Talisman in the void.

Such Aptitude—his future is immeasurable!

However, being so proficient at killing and burning bodies...

If he's killing Quan Xing, then it's fine!

Quan Xing is an evil organization that everyone in The Realm of Extraordinary People wants to eliminate. Its biggest characteristic is acting wantonly without regard for rules. The vast majority of its members are wicked, committing crimes and heinous acts.

Therefore, among the major sects of The Realm of Extraordinary People and even the government, there is an unwritten rule regarding Quan Xing members: No need to follow the rules!

For anyone belonging to Quan Xing, whether killed or slowly sliced, they can be dealt with as one sees fit.

Lu Jin was well aware of this, and furthermore, he held a deep grudge against Quan Xing.

Thus, he quickly pretended not to see Meng Li's act of killing and burning the body, then stroked his beard and said, "Being able to draw a Talisman in the void so quickly, your Aptitude is quite good."

Meng Li smiled and replied politely, "Elder Lu overpraises me."

In this short time, the corpse had already been burned to ash.

With a thought, Meng Li leaped onto the Shao Shang Sword he had summoned earlier, then took out the Shang Yang Sword from the Six Meridians Sword Box. He turned to ask Lu Jin, "Elder Lu, would you like to join me?"

Lu Jin readily agreed, "Fine, I might as well try what Flying Sword travel feels like."

Saying that, he leaped onto the Shang Yang Sword and stood firmly without effort.

Meng Li saw this, said nothing more, and directly controlled the two Flying Swords to pursue the direction where Yuan Tao had fled.

A moment later, he and Lu Jin saw Yuan Tao, the large man Han Dan carrying a backpack, and Zhang Lingyu fighting them using Five Thunder.

It was clear that Yuan Tao and Han Dan had encountered Zhang Lingyu while fleeing and were intercepted by him.

When Meng Li and Lu Jin arrived, Zhang Lingyu was unleashing his full power in an attack, successfully piercing the protective shield of Yuan Tao's Chi Wen Dharma Bead with Five Thunder. But unfortunately, the Dharma Bead Yuan Tao, an old Jianghu expert, used for self-defense was not the only one; he had another layer of protection.

The remaining power of the Five Thunder was clearly insufficient to break through this layer of defense.

More importantly, the three Dharma Beads Yuan Tao was using to attack had taken the opportunity to ambush Zhang Lingyu from behind and were already close.

If this strike landed solidly, Zhang Lingyu would be severely injured, if not killed.

At the critical moment, Lu Jin quickly reached out and pointed at Zhang Lingyu from a distance.

Instantly, a Five Force Warrior Talisman materialized out of thin air behind Zhang Lingyu, and three shadowy humanoid figures shot out from the Talisman, accurately batting back the three Dharma Beads.

"Tch!" Yuan Tao snorted in dissatisfaction, but his expression immediately changed drastically.

Because Meng Li had taken out the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd.

"Precious one, please enter!"

"Come back!"

Meng Li and Yuan Tao spoke almost simultaneously.

Then, of the three Dharma Beads Yuan Tao used to ambush Zhang Lingyu, only the Chao Feng Bead, due to its high speed, returned successfully; the remaining two entered the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd.

Seeing that one-third of the Nine Dragon Sons he had nurtured for years were absorbed in such a short time, Yuan Tao felt his heart bleeding. He looked at Meng Li, his old eyes faintly glowing red.

However, he did not lose his reason. He turned to Han Dan beside him and ordered, "Han Dan, use the Swift Rabbit Step!"

Upon hearing this, Han Dan quickly took out two pairs of rabbit-shaped slippers from his backpack and put them on together with Yuan Tao.

Immediately after, the two bolted, their speed greatly increasing, and they were far away in just a few bounds.

Seeing this, Lu Jin quickly told Zhang Lingyu, "Lingyu, get on the Flying Sword."

Then, he looked at Meng Li: "Young man Bai, let's chase."

Zhang Lingyu followed the instruction and jumped onto the Flying Sword where Lu Jin was standing.

"Hold on tight."

Meng Li reminded him and accelerated, controlling the two Flying Swords toward the direction Yuan Tao had fled.

Shortly after, he and Lu Jin saw Yuan Tao, Han Dan carrying the backpack, and Zhang Lingyu fighting the two using Five Thunder.

It was obvious that Yuan Tao and Han Dan had encountered Zhang Lingyu while fleeing and were intercepted by him.

When Meng Li and Lu Jin arrived, Zhang Lingyu was unleashing his full power in an attack, successfully piercing the protective shield of Yuan Tao's Chi Wen Dharma Bead with Five Thunder. But unfortunately, the Dharma Bead Yuan Tao, an old Jianghu expert, used for self-defense was not the only one; he had another layer of protection.

"Tch!" Yuan Tao snorted in dissatisfaction, but his expression immediately changed drastically.

Because Meng Li had taken out the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd.

"Precious one, please enter!"

"Come back!"

Meng Li and Yuan Tao spoke almost simultaneously.

Then, of the three Dharma Beads Yuan Tao used to ambush Zhang Lingyu, only the Chao Feng Bead, due to its high speed, returned successfully; the remaining two entered the Treasure-Swallowing Gourd.

Then, he looked at Meng Li: "Young man Bai, let's chase."

Zhang Lingyu followed the instruction and jumped onto the Flying Sword where Lu Jin was standing.

"Hold on tight."

Meng Li reminded him and accelerated, controlling the two Flying Swords to pursue the direction Yuan Tao had fled.

Yuan Tao was on the phone while running. He noticed movement behind him, glanced over, and his face suddenly changed. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it! Old man, I'm just running in shoes, and you guys are chasing me by Flying Sword? That's too unfair!"

Immediately, he sped up his speech while talking on the phone, "Lu Jin and the others are chasing us by flying. That kid Bai's gourd can absorb my Magical Artifacts; I can't hold on for long."

"Hurry up, or don't blame this old man for quitting."

After saying that, Yuan Tao hung up the phone.

Seeing Meng Li and the other two rapidly approaching, his eyes darted around. He jumped onto Han Dan's body and then said, "Han Dan, quickly give me the water gun. You keep running."

Han Dan complied.

Yuan Tao took the water gun Magical Artifact, turned around, and began shooting at the three people of Meng Li.

Meng Li wanted to maneuver the Flying Swords to dodge, but a Five Force Warrior Talisman appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Five shadowy humanoid figures manifested from the Talisman, blocking all the Qi bullets Yuan Tao shot.

It was the same for Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu.

Then, they heard Lu Jin say, "You concentrate on controlling the Flying Sword; don't bother dodging. Leave the rest to this old man."

Meng Li nodded.

Lu Jin wasn't idle either. After two Five Force Warrior Talismans, he drew a Five Thunder Talisman in the void and unleashed it toward Han Dan.

Instantly, the Talisman displayed its might, releasing a blue-white streak of lightning that struck toward Han Dan.

Yuan Tao saw this and quickly warned, "Han Dan, dodge to the side!"

Han Dan obeyed, but the speed of his escape slowed down slightly.

During this interval, Meng Li accelerated, bringing Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu past Yuan Tao and Han Dan, intercepting them.

"Why aren't you running anymore?" Seeing that Yuan Tao and Han Dan had stopped, Lu Jin jumped off the Flying Sword and asked with a cold sneer.

Yuan Tao looked at Meng Li with apprehension, then smiled sheepishly and replied, "Elder Lu, you are truly too careless. You chased me for so long, aren't you worried about your little ones who got separated having trouble?"

Lu Jin was confident, "Those few young ones have some skills. The ones who should be worried are your people."

Yuan Tao, however, grinned, "How do you know we only brought these few?"

Hearing this, Lu Jin's expression changed slightly, and a sense of foreboding arose.

Meng Li flew up into the air on his sword and discovered that the situation was just as Yuan Tao said—there were many people who had arrived, and they had already started causing trouble and fighting.

Therefore, he said to Lu Jin and Zhang Lingyu, "Elder Lu, Immortal Master Lingyu, there are far more people who have arrived than just those few. The situation doesn't look good. I'll leave this to you two; I'll use my Flying Sword to go back and support the others."

"Good."
