Chapter 710: Chapter 432: The Power of Talismans Bestowed Upon Me! Sunflame Protective Talisman!

"No one move! Move again, and I’ll shoot this bastard dead!"

Deputy Mo had just shaken off the horrid memories when he saw Steward Wu daring to take the Marshal hostage, and his anger flared up, veins bulging from his eyes!

"You beast, how dare you! Let go of the Marshal, or I’ll see to it you die without a place to be buried!"

Beside him, the Old Master was also taken aback by the sudden turn of events, instinctively clutching the talisman hidden in his sleeve, wary and not daring to act rashly.

"Marshal!" Deputy Mo, ignoring the danger, pointed at Steward Wu and roared fiercely, revealing the full truth seen in the talisman water.

"It’s this damned beast! He’s the one who killed the Seventeenth Concubine and Miss Qing!"

"This beast poisoned their tea and meals! The Seventeenth Concubine was the first to fall victim to him, and this swine of a creature used it to blackmail and humiliate the Seventeenth Concubine, threatening her into silence!"

"Later... Later, Miss Qing sensed something was amiss and came looking for her mother, exposing his filth!

This heinous beast, afraid of being exposed, decided to go all the way and drugged Miss Qing as well!

Then... Then he threw the mother and daughter into the well, creating the illusion of a suicide!"

This shocking truth was revealed in public, even the Old Master looked at Steward Wu with eyes full of shock and disdain.

With his crimes exposed, Steward Wu looked deranged, pressing the gun harder against Lu Xuan’s temple, shouting wildly, "Shut up! Shut up! Say one more word, and I’ll blow this piece of trash’s head off right now!"

Just as Steward Wu’s attention was entirely on berating Deputy Mo, causing his gun to slightly waver in his excitement.

Lu Xuan made a move!

His right hand shot up like lightning, with astonishing force, but Lu Xuan wasn’t going for the gun.

Instead, he precisely grabbed Steward Wu’s gun-wielding wrist, forcibly redirecting the gun towards Deputy Mo!

The entire process was completed in a flash, without a moment’s hesitation.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out! The bullet whistled towards Deputy Mo’s palm!

Everyone present was stunned, gaping at this sudden turn of events.

However, the anticipated scene of blood and gore did not unfold.

Instead, a "clang" like metal striking metal echoed!

In front of Deputy Mo’s palm, a barely perceivable faint red glow rippled out of thin air.

The hot bullet seemed to hit an invisible steel barrier, instantly crumpled, and with a "clatter," fell onto the stone pavement.

Deputy Mo’s palm was unharmed!

It really worked!

Lu Xuan’s eyes flashed with a glint of satisfaction. The Sun Flame Protective Talisman he had discreetly tucked into Deputy Mo’s possession earlier was now activating!

This talisman made one invulnerable to blades and bullets, and impervious to water and fire for a short time!

With his current complete Earth Master cultivation, his spiritual power was vast as the sea, crafting such a consumption-heavy talisman was effortless.

In fact, before coming here, Lu Xuan had already reinforced himself with various enhancing talismans including the Sun Flame Talisman, Strength Talisman, and Godspeed Talisman...

At this moment, though he appeared to be at the mercy of others, he was just acting.

Lu Xuan chose Deputy Mo to test the Sun Flame Talisman for a very pure reason.

Although the talisman’s effect theoretically made one impervious to blades and bullets, who knew if it would fall short in practice?

If the description was exaggerated and he tried it himself, wouldn’t it be unjust if he got hurt?

Better to find a reliable "target" to test it in the most secure way.

Now seeing the remarkable effect, Lu Xuan was quite satisfied.

As Steward Wu was still in shock at this beyond-imagining scene, not yet recovered, Lu Xuan lightly shook the wrist he was holding onto.

A surge of irresistible force came, sending Steward Wu flying, slamming him hard onto the ground in a classic face-plant, the gun slipping out of his hand.

"Pick up the gun!"

Hearing Lu Xuan’s voice, Deputy Mo quickly picked up the pistol from the ground, eyes flashing with a fierce gleam, past grievances surging up together.

"You swine beast! I’ll put you down!"

Just as he said it, he pulled the trigger!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dozen gunshots followed, bullets rained down on Steward Wu, causing his body to convulse violently, killing him on the spot, blood instantly staining the ground red.

The Old Master, witnessing this bloody spectacle nearby, though knowing Steward Wu deserved his fate, couldn’t help feeling pity, closing his eyes silently and whispering a Daoist chant.

"Men!" Deputy Mo holstered the gun, giving a harsh order, "Drag this beast’s corpse out, burn it! Burn it to ashes!"

With a mind on guard, having witnessed tonight’s bizarre corpse-reviving events.

Deputy Mo feared this steward might return as a vengeful ghost, so he decided to burn it thoroughly to eliminate any aftermath!

When the Old Master reopened his eyes, all emotions were already suppressed.

He walked up to Deputy Mo, took up his hand that had blocked the bullet, examining it carefully — the palm’s skin was intact, without even a trace of a red mark!

"This..." The Old Master showed a look of disbelief, as if realizing a possibility, he suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a trace of barely noticeable excitement.

"Deputy Mo, do you have an amulet given by a great master on you?"

"Amulet?" Deputy Mo was also puzzled why he was unharmed, and upon this mention, suddenly remembered a few hours ago, the Marshal had inexplicably handed him a folded triangular talisman bag.

He quickly retrieved it from his inner pocket, handing it to the Old Master.

"Huh? Strange," Deputy Mo looked at the talisman bag in his hands, full of confusion.

"This talisman was given to me by the Marshal not long ago, I clearly remember it previously being cinnabar red, how... how did it suddenly turn grayish?"

"Indeed!" The Old Master was greatly shaken, his suspicions confirmed.

He sharply lifted his head, eyes blazing as he gazed at Lu Xuan standing casually, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xuan merely waved it off nonchalantly, speaking as if discussing some unimportant trinket.

"I don’t know from which nook this thing was found, it’s unsightly, I disliked the trouble, so I casually gave it to the deputy."

Not wanting to elaborate further, Lu Xuan then ordered, "Alright, handle the matters here, tomorrow at dawn, gather the troops at General Hill."
