You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

Instead of retreating, Lu Xuan advanced, determined to confront all the bandits of Huangfeng Village head-on!

This startled Shen Jinglian.

She had just fought Huang Laosan for forty or fifty rounds, but she couldn't defeat him... Lu Xuan was probably not even as good as her, so how could he be a match for Huang Laosan and the bandits?

"Let's go! Now is not the time to act rashly or show off..."

Shen Jinglian was extremely anxious and urged Lu Xuan not to be reckless and to run away immediately, otherwise he would really lose his life here.

Lu Xuan remained unmoved, a faint smile still on his face, seemingly ignoring Shen Jinglian's advice.

Shen Jinglian: "..."

"Lu! Xuan! Did you even hear me? I told you to leave! Leave now!"

This was the first time she had called Lu Xuan by his name directly, and she practically roared those words out.

She simply couldn't understand why Lu Xuan would still be so arrogant at a time like this.

Is it more important to act like a big shot or to keep your life?

Run for your life!

Lu Xuan looked at her with a strange expression.

Why does this girl seem... a bit simple-minded and silly?

Bao Bulu couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, "What a silly woman, adorably silly!"

In those few breaths...

Huang Laosan had already done several somersaults, holding his broadsword horizontally in front of him, blocking his way.

With Huang Laosan in front and the second and third leaders and a group of bandits behind, they formed a pincer movement against Lu Xuan and Shen Jinglian.

"Oh no!"

Shen Jinglian exclaimed in alarm that things were going badly because Lu Xuan's "hesitation" had caused her to miss the best opportunity to escape, and she was about to be surrounded and trapped!

Her face was so solemn it could drip water, and she gripped the sword in her hand even tighter... It seemed she had no choice but to fight with all her might!

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Huang Laosan laughed loudly, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at Shen Jinglian and Lu Xuan. "Shen Jinglian, and that ignorant fool beside you, don't worry, none of you will escape today..."

Just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly heard a "hehe" sound, and Lu Xuan suddenly had a blue, semi-transparent talisman in his hand!

"go."

The talisman flew out of Lu Xuan's hand and instantly transformed into a blue spiritual rope, shooting towards Huang Laosan.

Huang Laosan was surprised, never expecting that Lu Xuan, this frail doctor, could produce a Taoist talisman.

Is this what Lu Xuan relied on to dare to go up Huangshi Mountain?

"Hmph, a mere trick!"

Old Huang snorted and suddenly slashed forward with his broadsword.

"Mountain-Shattering Slash!"

This strike was powerful and heavy; he was confident he could sever the spiritual rope formed from the talisman!

However, the rope was as nimble as a snake, easily dodging, causing him to miss his target.

The spirit rope arrived in the blink of an eye, instantly wrapping around his body and binding him up like a rice dumpling!

Clang!

The large knife in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Old Huang was horrified. Only now did he realize just how incredibly strong and terrifying the spiritual rope formed from the talisman truly was!

Even with his full internal energy circulating and his sixth-grade cultivation power erupting, he still couldn't break free in the slightest. The spiritual rope tightened even more, making it difficult for him to breathe!

"What...what the hell is this thing?!"

Huang Laosan was sweating profusely. This time he was truly frightened and helpless, and could only ask others for help.

"Second brother, third brother, come save me! Quick!"

The two leaders and all the bandits behind them stared wide-eyed at what they saw, in disbelief!

Their arrogant King Huang Laosan, whom even Shen Jinglian couldn't do anything about, was punished by a talisman that Lu Xuan produced.

If Huang Laosan is like this, wouldn't his underlings be even more cannon fodder?

They were all trembling with fear and dared not rush forward to help!

"Idiots!" Old Huang cursed angrily, "Do you think these powerful talismans are like cabbages you can just pick up anywhere? How could he possibly have any more?"

Indeed, talismans are usually the product of Taoist masters. Drawing talismans is not easy, the output is not high, and powerful talismans are even rarer, making them hard to come by.

It's already incredible that Lu Xuan could produce one card; it's unrealistic for him to produce more.

The second and third leaders exchanged a glance and nodded, agreeing that it made sense.

"Don't be afraid, my men! He's out of those talismans. There are many of us, so let's go and rescue the King!"

Just as the two leaders gave the order for their henchmen to snatch Huang Laosan back, they heard a slightly amused voice.

"Oh, really?"

Lu Xuan was looking at them with a half-smile.

Seeing Lu Xuan's expression, all the bandits felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of foreboding washing over them.

Could Lu Xuan still possess those talismans?

Of course!

And... we can have as many as you want!

The next moment, they witnessed an unbelievable scene!

Lu Xuan smiled and raised his hand, making a few random, flowing strokes in the air, and suddenly... hundreds of blue, semi-transparent talismans appeared out of thin air!

"Mysterious Talisman Manual - Binding".

Lu Xuan then waved his hand, scattering hundreds of talismans in an instant, like scattering beans!

The talisman transformed into a spiritual rope as soon as it left his hand, quickly binding together more than a hundred bandits from Huangfeng Village like a net covering the sky!

thump! thump!

The bandits fell to the ground one after another, unable to move, and let out painful howls.

"Ouch, it hurts! Let go of me, it hurts so much!"

"Immortal Master, please spare us! We were blind and ignorant, and have offended you. We beg your forgiveness!"

"..."

Having witnessed Lu Xuan's power, the two leaders and the bandits all regarded him as a highly skilled "Taoist Celestial Master" and begged for mercy while crying.

Huang Laosan was completely dumbfounded!

He never expected that Lu Xuan would be this powerful!

These talismans that can transform into spiritual ropes to bind people were not taken out, but were drawn by Lu Xuan himself. He could draw hundreds of them with a single stroke!

Is this really that outrageous?

and also……

Since Lu Xuan is so powerful, why has Shen Jinglian been protecting him ever since they came up the mountain?

Is he mentally ill?

"Damn it, that woman Shen Jinglian has really lost her mind! I hate you!"

Huang Laosan was on the verge of tears. It was all Shen Jinglian's fault for influencing his judgment and misjudging Lu Xuan's strength, which led to Lu Xuan wiping out Huangfeng Village.

He quickly kowtowed to Lu Xuan, begging for mercy, "Immortal Master, spare my life! I'm willing to serve you like a slave, I'm willing to offer up all the treasures of my mountain stronghold, I only beg you to spare my life..."

Lu Xuan felt no sympathy whatsoever for these bandits who burned, killed, and looted.

"Lend me your sword for a moment," he said to Shen Jinglian beside him.

At this moment, Shen Jinglian stood there with her mouth agape, frozen like a block of wood, not hearing Lu Xuan's words.

They must have been quite "frightened" by Lu Xuan's amazing performance.

"Miss Shen, may I borrow your sword?" Lu Xuan said again.

Shen Jinglian was still in a daze, but her mind cleared up a bit. She subconsciously processed the information she had heard and handed over the long sword in her hand.

Lu Xuan made a hand seal and used his sword control technique, and the long sword flew out of Shen Jinglian's hand.

call out!

The sword flashed like a rainbow, instantly slicing Huang Laosan's neck, and the notorious bandit died!

The second and third leaders and the rest of the bandits were terrified and frantically kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Lu Xuan remained unmoved, his face expressionless. "Your crimes are unforgivable! You should all go to hell to repent!"

shhhhhh!

Swords flashed, blood flowed like rivers...

From this day forward, Huangfeng Village will no longer exist on Huangshi Mountain!

With another "whoosh," the longsword flew back into Shen Jinglian's hand, but the blade was covered in bright red blood.

【Ding! 】

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lu Xuan's mind.

[The "Saved by the Boss" order - Annihilating Yellow Wind Stronghold (Purple) - is now complete!]

[Congratulations, host! Your cultivation level has increased by 9999. Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Earth-grade cultivation technique [Spiritual Rhinoceros Finger (Perfect)].]

【The Ingenious Finger Technique: A top-tier finger technique that uses skill to defeat opponents, accurately predicting their attack trajectory and using the index and middle fingers to catch their weapon (various swords, hidden weapons, etc.).】

Lu Xuan gained a large amount of cultivation points. He could clearly feel that his cultivation had improved significantly, and he also obtained a level-one martial skill - Spirit Rhinoceros Finger!

This is a finger technique that focuses on defense. It should be able to grip almost any weapon except for oddly shaped ones like spiked clubs. It's both practical and stylish!

Not bad!

That's wonderful!

While he was enjoying himself, the woman in white beside him finally came to her senses.

She looked at the bandits' corpses scattered on the ground, then at the blood-stained longsword in her hand, and couldn't help but gasp!

She looked up at Lu Xuan's profile, slightly stunned, as if she were seeing him for the first time...
