Although the two beasts had gained sentience, they were no match for people with powerful magic.
The golden circular talisman slowly tightened.
Both beasts let out painful howls.
Jiang Qingwan rushed over immediately upon hearing the commotion.
Just then, the flame between Lian'er's brows was drawn out of her body.
Without a second thought, she swiftly unleashed a lightning strike talisman.
It interrupted the circular talisman hovering over the man and the two beasts.
A thunderous roar erupted, and the flame that had been drawn from Lian'er's brow was absorbed back into her body.
She lost all her energy and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Qingwan's small face was cold.
"They actually came to my territory and injured my people!"
She launched another lightning strike talisman.
The young Taoist priest chuckled lazily, "Do you think I wouldn't be on guard against the same move?"
The instant the lightning strike talisman exploded, he suddenly opened a golden umbrella.
The umbrella was only the size of a palm, but when it was opened, golden light spread rapidly, actually deflecting Jiang Qingwan's lightning strike talisman.
The lightning strike talisman slammed heavily onto the roof ridge.
With a loud bang,
A piece of brick or tile was blasted off and fell to the ground with a whoosh, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The young Taoist priest proudly toyed with the small black umbrella in his hand, his gaze falling on Jiang Qingwan with great interest.
"Your magic is quite good, but unfortunately, you don't know martial arts. Last night in Weishan, someone protected you, but there are no experts in this manor today. This immortal will definitely avenge the lightning strike you gave me yesterday."
At this moment, Li Dou heard the commotion inside the mansion and rushed over.
Seeing this, without saying a word, he quickly threw the hidden weapon in his hand at the Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest could tell at a glance that Li Dou's heavy gait indicated he knew no martial arts and was just a brute with some strength.
They didn't take him seriously at all.
With a casual wave of his hand, he deflected the hidden weapon.
Unexpectedly, the hidden weapon had a hidden mechanism; several iron needles that flew out nearly blinded him.
He dodged awkwardly, nearly falling off the wall.
Looking at the hidden weapon that Li Dou had skillfully retrieved, he was surprised and astonished.
"Who made your hidden weapons? Are you... a person from the Sui Dynasty?"
Li Dou was stunned.
The hazy memories seemed to be suddenly torn apart, becoming clear abruptly.
It seemed as if a tall man appeared before me, backlit, and I reached out and gently patted his shoulder.
Solemn, loving
"Remember, you are a citizen of the Great Sui Dynasty!"
Li Dou raised his hand to his temple, a look of pain appearing on his dark face.
Jiang Qingwan's clear and melodious voice rang out loudly.
"I made his hidden weapon, is there a problem with that?"
The young Taoist priest was startled again.
"You did this?"
A dim, ambiguous light flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, he pulled the small umbrella back to his waist.
"I will not make things difficult for you today. Just give me that little girl's destiny fire."
He raised his hand and pointed to Lian'er, who had already fainted.
Jiang Qingwan frowned.
"Don't even think about it. Without her life-destiny fire, she'll never wake up and will be no different from a dead person. Do you think I'd give it to you? If you want to fight, then fight!"
Another talisman appeared in her hand.
The young Taoist priest seemed quite distressed.
He has already collected four of the five elements of fire, and is only missing this one of wood.
He was too lazy to look elsewhere.
"You don't know martial arts, so you'll be at a disadvantage fighting me. She's just a little maid; she can die if she wants!"
"fart!"
Li Dou suddenly flew into a rage, and the hidden weapon in his hand flew out again.
"If you dare to hurt Lian'er, I will kill you."
The young Taoist priest snorted coldly and quickly dodged.
With extremely fast footwork, Li Dou's attack had no effect whatsoever.
The young Taoist priest was grinning smugly.
"I was caught off guard earlier. With your speed, traps and hidden weapons are useless against me. Hand over that little girl's life-giving fire obediently, or else..."
"Li Dou, keep fighting."
Jiang Qingwan interrupted sharply, and the talisman in her hand flew out quickly.
They wanted to coordinate with Li Dou's hidden weapons.
The spiritual talisman shimmered with golden light.
The young Taoist priest dodged in a rather disheveled manner.
His robes were torn in half by Li Dou's meteor hammer.
The guards outside the mansion gates had also gathered in this direction.
Seeing that he was about to suffer a loss, the young Taoist priest quickly leaped into the air.
Let's call it a day; there's plenty of time in the future.
After saying that, he flashed and disappeared into the air.
Li Dou was unwilling to give up, so he put away his meteor hammer and was about to chase after them.
But Jiang Qingwan stopped him.
"Let's check on Lian'er first."
Li Dou then stomped his foot in frustration.
Song Yushu had already helped Lian'er up.
After examining her, Jiang Qingwan used her spiritual energy to help stabilize her mind.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time; otherwise, even a god couldn't save us if our life's fire had been drained."
Song Yushu asked curiously, "What is the 'Fire' element in one's destiny?"
Jiang Qingwan's eyes were serious.
"A person's birth date corresponds to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The fire element in one's destiny is equivalent to the soul. Once it is extracted from the body, it is as if one has lost the three souls and six spirits, becoming a living dead who will never wake up. There is a rumor in the Xuanmen that if one gathers the fire elements of the five elements and puts the demonic fetus into the formation, one can reverse yin and yang."
"In the case of Jiang Zhao, Chief Physician Wang's heart was removed, and the heart belongs to the element of fire. I always thought they wanted organs, but I never expected it was the deadly fire element. Could it be that Su Weichuan is going to use the Five Elements Formation to resurrect someone?"
Song Yushu was stunned.
"Is this Taoist priest also one of Su Weichuan's men? Then who is Su Weichuan going to resurrect? I haven't heard of any important people dying in the Su family. It can't be... it can't be Sun Ke, can it?"
