"Fellow Daoist Piao Shen, why bother? I am not someone to be trifled with, nor am I someone who can be easily manipulated!"
Lu Xuan finished speaking without any politeness, and then instantly took out a shiny bead from his storage bag!
"A top-grade Heavenly Thunder Pearl? A treasure capable of annihilating early-stage Core Formation cultivators?"
The expression on the face of the Taoist priest opposite Lu Xuan changed instantly when he saw the bead that Lu Xuan took out.
This thing, if caught off guard, could cause him, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, great harm.
This item is one of the treasures that the Azure Scaled Flood Dragon King just gave to Lu Xuan.
After hesitating for several hours, the Taoist priest Piao Shen was shocked by this.
Only after a difficult decision was made:
"Hehe, what's this? At worst, I'll go into seclusion for a few years to recuperate. Compared to the treasures in your storage bag, I believe it's worth it."
As soon as the Floating God Daoist finished speaking, he made his move. The mid-grade magic treasure, the Demon Banner, transformed into a huge black banner that blotted out the sky, radiating rolling demonic energy that caused sea beasts within a hundred miles to retreat.
Such power is enough to easily kill a peak early-stage Core Formation cultivator.
"Alright, then I, Lu, have no choice but to fight."
"Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence Escape Technique"
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan unleashed his most powerful escape technique.
It's not that he doesn't want to fight his opponent; if it comes to a magical duel, he has a more than 50% chance of winning.
However, this might attract the attention of other Core Formation cultivators on Wanxuan Island.
Lu Xuan's magical power was still limited.
He didn't want to reveal his trump card, the Devouring Demon Insects, too early.
Only after advancing to the Core Formation stage can one safely unleash the Devouring Demon Insect.
Back then, Lu Xuan didn't need to retreat when encountering beings below the Nascent Soul stage.
If in the future all his Devouring Demon Insects are upgraded to Core Formation stage beings.
If tens of thousands of Core Formation stage Devouring Demon Insects appear at that time...
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would probably run away at the sight of it.
Therefore, now is not the time for Lu Xuan to act impulsively.
Once he found a safe place, he went into seclusion and broke through to the Core Formation stage.
At that time, he didn't take any of those Taoist priests seriously at all.
At this moment, the evil cultivator, Piao Shen Dao Ren, saw that Lu Xuan had actually retreated.
He immediately became furious and said, "Hmph, how dare you feint and trick me!"
"This infuriates me!"
The Floating God Taoist was on the verge of losing his composure.
He had just unleashed the strongest techniques of his Demon Banner. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan on the other side had no intention of fighting him at all.
He had just wasted a lot of his magic power, which made him feel like he was being toyed with by Lu Xuan.
"You dare to mock me? Just wait! The demonic fire within my demon banner won't taste good."
After saying this, the Floating God Taoist flew off in the direction Lu Xuan had fled.
…
Half a day later.
Lu Xuan's escape technique speed is already approaching that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
By this time, they were already tens of thousands of miles away from Wanxuan Island.
But the one behind, the Piao Shen Dao Ren, was still relentlessly pursuing them.
On the way, Lu Xuan turned back and deliberately provoked the other party by saying:
"You old ghost, you old thing, you've lived for so long and you still don't understand reason. You're just a rotten person in the cultivation world, not even as good as a dog."
"Um?"
The Taoist priest who was chasing Lu Xuan was furious upon hearing this.
"You've gone too far. I'm a good person. If you just stop, I can give you a great opportunity to advance to the Core Formation stage."
Lu Xuan completely disregarded the lies told by the Taoist priest.
"You shameless old bastard, you evil cultivator with no manners whatsoever! Is this how your elders taught you to be? What great fortune? You're just asking for death!"
"What…"
"This is outrageous..." The Floating God Taoist, seeing that he had failed to deceive Lu Xuan, instantly flew into a rage.
"I will cast you into my demonic banner, where you will be burned by its hellfire day and night..."
"Ugh, I spit on you. That'll only end up like you..."
Lu Xuan turned around and cursed a few times.
A smug smile appeared on his face.
He deliberately provoked the other party.
The goal is to lure this wandering Taoist priest far away.
It seems he won't be able to go into seclusion in peace until he eliminates this sycophant.
Otherwise, when I break through to the Core Formation stage in the future, I will have to be wary of this evil cultivator.
Enraged by Lu Xuan's utter humiliation, the Taoist priest behind him instantly sped after Lu Xuan, vowing to capture him.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
The two of them had already traveled tens of thousands of miles away from Wanxuan Island.
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Xuan immediately found a small deserted island and stopped.
Set up the formation.
Lu Xuan set up more than a dozen late-stage Foundation Establishment peak formations.
The Heavenly Thunder Pearl, the magical treasure Sea-Suppressing Pearl, and the Devouring Demon Insects are all poised to strike.
A short while later, the Taoist priest finally caught up.
He saw the dozen or so binding formations set up by Lu Xuan and said disdainfully:
"What is this? Do you think you can deal with me with just these few formations? I don't want to waste my magic power anymore. Hand over your storage bag, and I can cripple your magic power and make you my slave for life. How about that?"
"Keep dreaming!"
Lu Xuan cursed loudly.
Then all means were unleashed.
All the formations exploded.
The Thunder Bead exploded!
Countless bursts of spiritual light enveloped and permeated the Floating God Taoist.
The Piao Shen Dao Ren never expected that Lu Xuan would play by his own rules.
So many formations, they just self-destructed like that?
Do you have nowhere to spend your spirit stones?
Caught off guard.
The mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, Piao Shen Dao Ren, suffered a great loss.
