One person: Senior brother Zhang Zhiwei, the Celestial Master begged me to descend the mountain.

Rumble—!!!

The crimson Qi waves surged like a burst dam, wreaking havoc on the small battlefield.

The once smooth bluestone pavement is now riddled with holes from the blasting.

Every time a talisman falls, it stirs up a bloody storm.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

As Shen Chong shouted, he weaved through the dense rain of talismans like a slippery eel.

His expensive suit was now ripped in several places by the overflowing arcs of electricity, making him look quite disheveled.

"This old bastard goes crazy, he'll even kill his own people!"

Not far away.

Xia He also turned pale, and she grabbed a hapless Quanxing henchman to shield herself.

Bang!

A fiery talisman slammed into the henchman's back.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The henchman didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a pile of charred remains.

Using the force of the impact, Xia He floated backward for more than ten meters like a pink butterfly, landing on a broken stone pillar.

She patted her chest, her peach blossom eyes filled with lingering fear:

"Oh my, you scared me to death!"

"If this gets even a little scraped, it will hurt a lot."

Gao Ning and Dou Mei also retreated to the outer edge of the battle early on.

The four of them spread out in a fan shape. Although they looked disheveled, they all had expressions of watching a show on their faces.

And in the heart of the battlefield.

Lu Jin is like a meat grinder that has run away with the flow.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was horrifying blood foam at the corner of his mouth.

His hands were waving wildly in the air, without any discernible pattern.

The Heavenly Record!

These eight extraordinary skills, which should have been performed with great care, were now being used by him as the most primitive bricks.

Blood-red talismans were being thrown out like they were free.

Indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.

Unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Any living thing is his target.

Several disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion who were still putting up a stubborn resistance were unable to dodge in time and were directly struck by a Five Thunder Talisman, flying away with screams.

"Master!"

"Master Lu!"

Seeing this scene from a distance, Zhang Lingyu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He didn't bother wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. With a flick of his longsword, his figure transformed into a white streak of light, advancing instead of retreating, charging straight into the center of the battle.

"Senior Lu! I am Lingyu!"

Zhang Lingyu focused his energy in his dantian, his voice booming like a great bell, attempting to awaken the maddened Lu Jin:

"That's one of our own! Wake up!"

I heard a sound.

Lu Jin, who was in the middle of a frantic outburst, suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned his head.

Those eyes, filled with violence and a destructive desire, were fixed on Zhang Lingyu as he charged forward.

There was not a trace of clarity.

Only an even stronger killing intent remained.

"Without...roots...growing..."

A hissing sound, like a broken bellows, came from Lu Jin's throat.

In his field of vision.

The figure in white, ethereal and otherworldly, gradually twisted and transformed into the man he hated to the core.

That man who always had that smug smile ruined his life!

"You've come here too... to laugh at me?!"

"Go to hell!!!"

Lu Jin roared and shoved his right hand forward.

hum!

The air vibrated violently.

Five blood-red lightning talismans, arranged in a triangular shape, carried a suffocating pressure, instantly sealing off all of Zhang Lingyu's escape routes.

Its speed was so fast that it even exceeded the propagation of sound.

"not good!"

Zhang Lingyu's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that the old senior Lu, who had always been so kind to him, would be so ruthless at this moment.

They're here to kill him!

There's no way to avoid it!

"Yin Five Thunders - Northern Azure Pool!"

Zhang Lingyu roared and pressed his hands down sharply.

Gumbling.

A large amount of black fluid instantly gushed out from beneath his feet, like a black waterfall, forming a thick barrier in front of him.

The black fluid was viscous, cold, and corrosive, capable of devouring everything.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!

The five lightning talismans slammed into the black water wall.

The red light collided violently with the black water.

Zizizi!

A piercing explosion resounded through the sky.

"puff!"

Zhang Lingyu felt an overwhelming force strike him, as if struck by lightning.

His prized Water Mine Thunder was as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of this violent power.

The black wall of water shattered instantly.

The black water that filled the sky turned into a torrential downpour.

Zhang Lingyu flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

His feet carved two deep furrows in the ground, and he slid back more than ten meters before he could barely regain his footing.

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Lingyu clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her white clothes red.

His hands were trembling violently, and the web between his thumb and forefinger was cracked.

too strong.

Is this the strength of the Ten Elders?

Even if he lost his mind, the instinctive outburst was something that a junior like him could not possibly resist.

"Master Lingyu!"

A golden light flashed.

Zhang Chulan suddenly appeared from somewhere and caught the swaying Zhang Lingyu.

"How are you? You're not dead, are you?"

Looking at Zhang Lingyu's pale face, Zhang Chulan felt a chill run down his spine.

"No...it's nothing."

Zhang Lingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes extremely serious:

"Senior Lu... has completely lost control."

"He now sees everyone as an enemy."

"Of course I saw that!"

Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth, his scalp tingling as he looked at the old man approaching like a demon god.

"These old fogies, they seem so kind on ordinary days, how come they can be even more ruthless than the Quanxing Sect when they go crazy!"

"roar--!!!"

Lu Jin did not give the two a chance to catch their breath.

His attack missed, which only fueled his ferocity.

He stomped his foot.

Bang!

A large crater was blown open in the ground.

He was like a red cannonball, carrying terrifying wind pressure, and instantly rushed in front of the two of them.

"Die!"

Lu Jin raised his hand, and in his palm, a talisman shimmering with golden light was rapidly taking shape.

That's... a talisman for trapping immortals!

However, this Immortal-Trapping Talisman is blood red!

"There's no escaping it!"

Zhang Chulan's eye twitched violently.

If that slap had landed squarely, he and Zhang Lingyu would have been badly injured, if not killed.

"Let's give it our all!"

"Golden Light Mantra - Thunder!"

Zhang Chulan roared, his body bursting with golden light, and instead of retreating, he advanced.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, he crouched down and slid along the ground like an eel towards Lu Jin's lower body.

at the same time.

Several streams of Qi, like golden snakes, shot out from his hands, attempting to entangle Lu Jin's legs.

"Master Lingyu! Attack his top lane! Just make him stop for a second!"

"good!"

Zhang Lingyu understood perfectly.

Although the two usually disliked each other, they surprisingly showed amazing teamwork in this life-or-death situation.

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath, and the previously dissipated Yin Lightning condensed again.

"Water-Soaked Thunder - Palm Thunder!"

He leaped high into the air and slapped Lu Jin in the face.

The black, sinister lightning, carrying a bone-corroding chill, aimed directly at Lu Jin's eyes.

One on one.

One gold and one black.

The two worked together perfectly.

however.

In the face of absolute power, skill seems so ridiculous.

"roll!"

Lu Jin didn't even glance at Zhang Chulan at his feet.

He simply stomped his foot down casually.

boom!

A red wave of energy exploded outwards from the soles of his feet.

Holy crap!

Zhang Chulan only had time to let out a scream.

The golden light that was wrapped around Lu Jin's legs shattered instantly.

He was like a ball, blown away by the blast of air.

It tumbled through the air a dozen times before finally landing face-first in the pile of rocks.

Zhang Lingyu, who was in mid-air, fared even worse.

Lu Jin's Immortal-Trapping Talisman, which she had originally intended to use to capture the image, was instead met head-on by Zhang Lingyu's palm lightning.

Sizzle—!

There is no suspense.

The black, dark lightning was instantly swallowed by the red light.

Lu Jin's large hand pierced through the lightning and grabbed Zhang Lingyu's wrist.

then.

It was slammed to the ground like a tattered sack.

Bang!

The earth shook violently.

Zhang Lingyu was embedded in the ground, and the surrounding rocks shattered inch by inch.

"puff--!"

Zhang Lingyu spat out a jet of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.

crush.

A complete and utter crushing defeat.

Two outstanding young talents couldn't even withstand a single move from the enraged Lu Jin.

"Oh dear, this is a truly appalling sight."

far away.

Shen Chong pushed up his glasses, looked at the two people lying on the ground, and clicked his tongue in disapproval:

"Old Master Lu's firepower is even stronger than I imagined."

"It seems we've set off a fire that's gone a bit too far."

Gao Ning twirled his prayer beads in his hand and smiled as he echoed:

"Amitabha."

"These two benefactors sacrificed themselves to feed the tiger in order to awaken their elders; it is truly touching."

"Unfortunately... it's like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating its own strength."

Dou Mei sighed, a hint of feigned pity in her eyes:

"Why bother?"

"If you lie down earlier, you won't be in so much pain, right?"

In the center of the battlefield.

Lu Jin slowly withdrew his hand, looking down at Zhang Lingyu at his feet.

His chest heaved violently, and the red light in his eyes not only did not fade, but became even more eerie.

It was the look in his eyes that had completely turned him into a killing machine.

"Not... completely dead yet?"

Lu Jin tilted her head, her voice hoarse.

He slowly raised his right foot and aimed it at Zhang Lingyu's chest.

Red energy flowed around the soles of his feet, radiating an aura of destruction.

If that foot were to step on it...

Zhang Lingyu's heart would definitely explode like a rotten tomato.

"Stop...stop..."

Not far away.

Zhang Chulan struggled to crawl out of the pile of rocks.

His face was covered in blood, and one arm hung limply at his side, clearly dislocated.

But he gritted his teeth and stumbled as he tried to rush over.

"You old bastard...look carefully!"

"That's your junior apprentice!"

"If you kill him... the Old Master will skin you alive!"

Zhang Chulan roared, tears mixed with blood streaming down his face.

A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped the two of them.

Is this the difference?

Is this the strength of the previous generation's top experts?

They gave it their all, and they couldn't even make him stop for a second.
