Chapter 511: So Reliable

Lu Sangjiu was stunned, genuinely surprised that Yan Xue would step in to help her.

In a situation like this, even she felt bad about dragging others into it, yet Yan Xue had taken the initiative… She let out a soft chuckle. “Alright, I’ll buy you a drink when we get out of here!”

Yan Xue was incredibly strong. And because of her background, she was well-equipped and had plenty of tricks up her sleeve.

Compared to Lu Sangjiu’s various sneak attacks and one-on-one kills, her methods were much more direct and brutal.

With a flick of her wrist, a talisman flew from her hand and blew a whole section of them away.

Working together, neither of them was seriously injured, while many of the others were killed or wounded.

Finally, some people began to retreat, gradually withdrawing from the battlefield, no longer thinking about any bounty.

On the vast plaza, many people slowly backed away until only Lu Sangjiu, Yan Xue, and a ground littered with corpses remained.

At this point, the Fan Family’s Asura was getting restless. Besides, it was about time for him to make a move.

So, with a cold snort, he stopped the Fan Family members who still wanted to fight them. “All of you, stand down.”

“I didn’t expect a spy like you to have an accomplice.”

“I must say, you two juniors really have some skill. A pity… this is no place for you to run wild!”

He stood there spouting threats, but unfortunately for him, neither Lu Sangjiu nor Yan Xue was paying close attention.

They were currently communicating via Divine Sense.

“I have a Defense Treasure that can temporarily withstand the Asura’s attacks, but it won’t last long,” Yan Xue began.

“I also have attack talismans, but I doubt they can kill him. Do you have any other trump cards?”

Lu Sangjiu thought for a moment before replying, “Use your Defense Treasure to hold him off. If you can buy me enough time, I might be able to kill him.”

“But after I kill him, I’m afraid I’ll have almost no power left. There’s still a Great Array here, so we won’t be able to escape, and all these remaining people…”

There were just too many Cultivators here. They had just managed to scare them off with sheer, desperate courage, but once she lost her ability to fight and Yan Xue was left alone… it was obvious they wouldn’t just let them walk away.

Yan Xue understood what she meant, but the current situation didn’t seem to allow them the luxury of overthinking it.

“Forget it. Let’s just take care of this old bastard first!”

Lu Sangjiu agreed they could only take it one step at a time. If this Asura didn’t die, they had absolutely no chance of survival. They had to get rid of him first, no matter what.

Just as they finished communicating, Fan Yunfeng finished his posturing. He appeared and thrust a palm toward them!

But his palm strike didn’t land as expected. In an instant, the Magic Treasure in Yan Xue’s hand activated, and a transparent, spherical shield materialized around the two of them, protecting them inside.

When Fan Yunfeng’s palm struck, the shield didn’t even budge!

Fan Yunfeng’s expression changed drastically. ‘How is this possible?’

‘Those two are clearly only at the Heavenly Demon level of cultivation, how could they possibly withstand my attack? That Magic Treasure… what in the world is it?’

Having lost face in front of everyone, Fan Yunfeng was in a foul mood. At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of greed for Yan Xue’s Magic Treasure.

“Hmph, a futile resistance! Let’s see how much longer that Magic Treasure of yours can hold out!”

With that, Fan Yunfeng resumed his assault. Even though the shield didn’t break, he attacked relentlessly, seemingly certain that it couldn’t last much longer.

And indeed, it couldn’t last much longer. After all, a Magic Treasure like this consumed an immense amount of Demonic Qi. Yan Xue’s stamina was limited, and if this continued, even if the Magic Treasure itself held up, the Demonic Qi inside her would be completely depleted.

Yan Xue started to get anxious. “How much longer do you need?”

Lu Sangjiu’s eyes were closed. “Soon.”

Her best method for killing someone above her level was, of course, the Immortal Demon Attraction.

After her Ascension, the activation time for the Immortal Demon Attraction had been cut by nearly half due to the change in her qi.

Most importantly, she no longer needed to gather Immortal Qi in one hand and Demonic Qi in the other, so her preparations wouldn’t draw too much attention.

At least for now, the Asura was so caught up in his attack that he paid no mind to what Lu Sangjiu was doing with her hands.

Of course, a great deal of credit for this went to Yan Xue. Her Magic Treasure didn’t just defend; it also concealed the auras within it.

As a result, her opponent had no idea what kind of killing move she was brewing.

Yan Xue gritted her teeth and held on for a while longer. Finally, she saw Lu Sangjiu’s eyes snap open as she parted her thin lips and uttered two words, “It’s ready.”

It happened to be a lull in Fan Yunfeng’s attacks, so Yan Xue immediately retracted her shield.

Fan Yunfeng didn’t know what they were up to, but seeing this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately seized the opportunity to attack.

At the same time, he laughed heartily and said, “Couldn’t hold on any longer, could you? Then it’s my turn!”

However, his arrogance didn’t last even a moment. He saw Lu Sangjiu’s Immortal Demon Attraction hurtling toward him, carrying a chilling aura!

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted. Before everyone’s eyes, Fan Yunfeng, the Asura, was obliterated by Lu Sangjiu’s single strike, leaving not even a trace behind!

At the same time, even the Fan Family’s Great Array trembled violently, seeming to grow unstable.

But it was only unstable. Lu Sangjiu’s attack hadn’t been aimed at the Great Array, so it wasn’t enough to shatter it.

Of course, those who were standing closer to Fan Yunfeng didn’t escape unscathed either. Far too many people died from that single blow.

However, Lu Sangjiu wasn’t in good shape either. Her face was pale, she looked as if she’d been completely drained, and her body was swaying slightly.

Yan Xue quickly caught her, watching the others warily. “I can hold on for a little while longer. Hurry up and recover your strength!”

Just as Yan Xue was preparing to fend them off to buy her some time, she suddenly noticed the Fan Family’s Great Array fluctuate again, and then it abruptly vanished on its own!

One unexpected event followed another, leaving everyone struggling to react.

As Lu Sangjiu and Yan Xue were also looking on in surprise, they suddenly saw two figures rapidly approaching them from deeper within the Fan Family estate.

A look of delighted surprise appeared in Lu Sangjiu’s eyes. “What are you two doing here?!”

That’s right, the two arrivals were none other than Lie Rufeng and Mu Lin, who were supposed to be waiting at the inn.

Lie Rufeng didn’t answer her question, but Mu Lin, the talkative one, piped up, “Duh! With all this commotion coming from the Fan Family, we’re not idiots. We obviously knew something had happened!”

“So, before you even came out, we had already snuck into the Fan Family estate. When we sensed the situation over here, we used the chaos to find a way to shut down the Great Array.”

“We’re a little late. Are you guys okay?”

At that moment, Lu Sangjiu felt that these two were incredibly reliable. “We’re fine, we’re fine! Quick, help me up. Let’s get out of here!”

As they spoke, the two men reached them. Lie Rufeng moved to support Lu Sangjiu, while Mu Lin glanced at Yan Xue. “You…”

Yan Xue gave him a disdainful look. “I don’t need any help. Let’s go!”

Unfortunately, the members of the Fan Family had already come to their senses. With their own Old Ancestor dead, how could they possibly just let them leave?

The Head of the Fan Family, in particular, had bloodshot eyes. “Stop them! Stop them for me!”
