Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

The evil immortal waved his whisk.

However, as long as the kid can adapt, it's actually fine.

After all, this kid is very adaptable and grows very quickly. If you put enough pressure on him, he can improve his cultivation level again.

Chapter 206 Interception! (First Update)

Two days later, in a small grove of trees at the foot of Mount Tai.

"Old Wang, we should have arrived at our destination by now."

As Chen Yuan walked, he asked questions, his eyes flickering slightly. He was finally able to learn how to manifest Yang Shen.

These past two days have really flown by. We've encountered quite a few interesting things along the way. I have to say, this trip has been very effective in training him both physically and mentally.

His proficiency with various techniques improved to a new level, and his cultivation of life force also increased to some extent.

No wonder there's a saying: "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."

"We'll be there soon. Once we reach the top of Mount Tai, we'll see Granny Liu's Taoist temple. Hehe, kid, don't be too careless. The closer you get to the finish line, the less you can relax."

Wang Yaozu stood with his hands behind his back, narrowed his triangular eyes, and revealed a peculiar smile.

Zhao Lihuo should be arriving soon.

After all, this guy is vengeful, and since he revealed that he brought Chen Yuan with him, this Taoist priest can't possibly stand idly by.

He wanted to see if this kid could face Zhao Lihuo with the same ease and grace he had shown along the way.

"Old Wang, what are you saying? Do you think anyone can cause me trouble?"

Chen Yuan squinted and asked.

Old Deng's words were loaded with meaning. To be honest, Old Deng had mentioned before that Zhao Lihuo had his eye on him, but so far he hadn't seen the Taoist priest's figure.

However, at that moment, a strange cracking sound suddenly rang out from the grove, as if the moisture in the air had frozen, like the thin ice in a lake breaking in winter.

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and a thin layer of frost formed on the trees near Chen Yuan.

Click click click!

The frost spread at an accelerated pace, rapidly approaching Chen Yuan and Wang Yaozu from all directions, and the temperature in the air grew increasingly cold.

"This is?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback.

Good guy.

It seems that Old Man Wang wasn't just making things up; someone really did come looking for trouble for him. It appears that Zhao Lihuo has already made his move against him in secret.

This move is definitely not magic. Since that guy is also from the Wild Maoshan sect, this move must be a talisman technique.

"Kid, looks like someone's already getting impatient."

Wang Yaozu grinned, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth.

The old fox has finally arrived.

He had been waiting for this for a long time, and now he was finally going to teach this arrogant and reckless brat a lesson about the saying that there are always people more capable than you.

Of course, with him protecting him, there's no need to worry about the kid encountering any life-threatening danger.

"Tai Xuan Curse!"

A sinister voice came from afar, and a burly Taoist priest with a fierce look on his face walked slowly over. His features were somewhat similar to those of Zhao Tianzhen, who had been killed by Chen Yuan with a single punch.

However, his features were more somber, and there was a hidden anger on his face. In particular, the thick red aura around his body was like a flame, giving people a burning sensation.

He held a yellow talisman in his large, rough hand, and the icy aura around him was clearly released from this talisman.

"The Lingbao Sect's Tai Xuan Mantra, damn it, how come this guy's talisman effects are on a completely different level from Zhao Tianzhen's!"

Chen Yuan suddenly activated his internal energy, causing the colorless and transparent inner core in his lower dantian to spin rapidly, and powerful force fields spread outwards from his body.

Click click click!

In an instant, the ice layer that was rushing towards him shattered.

"You little brat, your life cultivation is not weak. No wonder my good-for-nothing brother and junior brother died at your hands. It's just a pity that you are going to die at my hands today. Even Ghost Hand King can't help you."

Zhao Lihuo's face was ashen, but his eyes seemed to burn with murderous intent.

Under the contrast of ice and fire, the surrounding air seemed to become tense.

"Old Wang, I can't handle this guy. It seems I'll have to rely on you."

Chen Yuan coughed and turned to look at Ghost Hand King beside him, only to find that the old man was just squinting his triangular eyes, with his hands behind his back, and showed no intention of making a move.

Does this old man want him to fight this thug one-on-one?

That's giving him way too much credit.

The guy in front of him clearly had a much higher level of life cultivation than him, and the pressure he felt from this guy was on a completely different level from that from Zhao Tianzhen.

Neither the elders of the Medicine Immortal Society nor the Japanese demon wielding the demon sword possessed the same intense killing intent and bloodlust emanating from this guy.

This Ye Maoshan is clearly a vicious criminal who has killed many people.

"Kid, if you always grow up in a greenhouse and never experience wind and rain, you will be fragile."

Wang Yaozu chuckled, then squinted at Zhao Lihuo.

This Taoist priest's cultivation level is definitely much higher than Chen Yuan's now, so it's practically a sure thing that he'll make this kid suffer.

It's a good whetstone.

"Ghost Hand King, it seems you don't want to fight. In that case, I, the Daoist, will not be polite! Dean Dai's Curse! Five Thunder Talisman!"

Zhao Lihuo's red aura suddenly surged. He took two talismans from his waist, holding one in each hand, and instantly two lightning patterns wrapped around his feet.

Meanwhile, white arcs of electricity burst forth rapidly on the other Five Thunder Talisman, its terrifying power far surpassing Chen Yuan's simple use of thunder-based magic.

Ordinary Five Thunder Talismans can only release simple palm thunder, but Zhao Lihuo seems to be able to control this thunder, comparable to the thunder magic of Longhu Mountain.

Of course, the Five Thunder Talisman was originally a talisman of the Celestial Master's Mansion, but since the Shangqing Sect belongs to the Zhengyi lineage, it is very common for them to learn each other's talisman techniques.

"That old geezer is really wicked. Does he really want me to fight this thug one-on-one?"

Chen Yuan's heart tightened instantly.

Damn it!

He has no martial ethics. He has only been cultivating for two and a half years. This wild Maoshan Taoist is clearly not comparable to Zhao Tianzhen, a half-baked Taoist.

Even with the Seven Fiends Formation, Zhao Tianzhen didn't feel as much pressure as the Taoist priest in front of him.

"Dean Dai's Curse? This thing is a talisman that increases speed. In the modern story, the elderly Lu Jin used it when he fought against the demons of Quanxing."

Moreover, this stinking Taoist priest's life force is incredibly strong, especially his life energy. This guy clearly hasn't practiced any external martial arts, yet the oppressive aura he exudes is even more monstrous than Young Master Chai's Chai-style external martial arts.

Chen Yuan swallowed.

This guy is on a completely different level from the enemies he's encountered.

“Young brother, although our Shangqing Sect belongs to the Zhengyi lineage, our arduous cultivation is comparable to that of the Quanzhen Sect. The tempering of our life force is not much worse than that of the Quanzhen Taoists who cultivate alchemy.”

A young man in a long gown and a black top hat stood not far away, smiling as he explained that the newcomer was none other than Liu from Quanxing.

This guy was with Zhao Tianzhen to ambush him.

This time, however, he came with Zhao Lihuo.

Chapter 207 The Power of Talismans! (Second Update)

"No wonder so many Shangqing disciples couldn't endure the hardship and left the mountain to become unaffiliated Maoshan disciples. They probably thought that since the Shangqing sect was a legitimate lineage, there weren't many rules and no need for arduous cultivation."

Who would have thought he was just like Quanzhen, unable to endure hardship, and went down the mountain.

Chen Yuan's mind raced.

But the situation hasn't improved at all. If this Taoist priest's life cultivation is comparable to that of a Quanzhen Taoist who practices alchemy, then that's truly terrifying.

"Xiao Liu, you want to get involved too?"

Ghost Hand King suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu with a sinister gaze, like a malevolent ghost.

The murderous intent in his eyes was somewhat chilling.

"Old Wang, how could I dare? I just came to join in the fun."

Liu quickly put on a smile, but his heart was also in turmoil.

That old man is really scary. Don't be fooled by his petty theft; with his incredible abilities, few in the entire sect dare to mess with him.

He came to watch a play, but he never expected to actually get killed.

Besides, his relationship with Zhao Lihuo wasn't so bad that he would fight to the death for this guy. Moreover, he had already joined the Quanxing Sect, and he wasn't the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others.

boom!

In an instant, the ground beneath Zhao Lihuo's feet cracked open, and his figure vanished from the spot. Accelerated by Dean Dai's curse, his figure moved like a bolt of lightning.

His two fists were crackling with white electric arcs, and he looked like a ferocious tiger, suddenly charging towards Chen Yuan.

The terrifying pressure made Chen Yuan's hair stand on end.

"Goodness, this guy's really fierce. But I'm not one to be trifled with either. If I can't beat you, I can run away!"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He realized that this damned old man wanted him to fight this guy one-on-one, probably trying to toughen him up by using this fierce bull-nose.

Let him lose, that way he'll be less arrogant.

This is similar to how, in the comics, the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing secretly taught Zhang Huaiyi thunder magic and other kung fu in order to temper Zhang Zhiwei's temperament.

Then let the two spar to temper Zhang Zhiwei's temperament.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhiwei was too strong, and Zhang Huaiyi was easily defeated.

So the plan failed.

But at least it was a friendly sparring session between fellow disciples, and there was no danger to their lives.
