Lu Xuan heard the other party's arrogant words.
He gave a faint smile.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator can do whatever they want?"
"So, does someone like you, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, dare to stop me?"
"I am the Thousand Spider Hermit! I am skilled in controlling beasts and insects, and I must be a notable figure in Yunmeng City. Haven't you all heard of my great name?"
"What?! It's actually the famous Foundation Establishment mid-stage rogue cultivator, Thousand Spider Hermit!"
People around were amazed.
"This person has been at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for many years and is very powerful. In particular, he has more than a thousand peak Qi Refining insects, which is comparable to a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan calmly waved his hand and said to Thousand Spider Hermit:
"No, that depends on what Fellow Daoist Mo Shuiyun wants! If she's willing to become your maid, I naturally won't stop her. But if you insist on forcing her, even though I'm just a Qi Refining cultivator, if you want to fight, then let's fight!"
"Although we are just ants in the cultivation world, we are absolutely not afraid of a battle!"
"If you want war, then come on!"
Lu Xuan's few words instantly ignited the group of Qi Refining cultivators who had gathered to watch the spectacle. They were filled with fervor and exclaimed:
"Yes, does that mean Foundation Establishment cultivators can bully us Qi Refining cultivators? If I'm willing to join forces, how could hundreds or thousands of us rogue cultivators not be a match for a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
"good!"
Qianzhu Sanren burst into laughter three times.
"Since you're courting death, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
"Thousand Spiders, appear!" Thousand Spider Hermit shouted, and dozens of insect-like demonic beasts, resembling giant black poisonous spiders, flew out of his spirit beast pouch in an instant.
"Thousand Spiders? So it's the Poisonous Jade Spider, which can be ranked among the top 100 in the cultivation world?"
Having read many ancient books, Lu Xuan recognized the origin of the insect before him.
Insects? I have some too.
Lu Xuan activated his spirit beast pouch, and hundreds of Devouring Demon Insects flew out instantly.
He obtained it by chance.
Having been fed with a large amount of precious spiritual herbs, his Devouring Demon Insects have evolved to the late Qi Refining stage! Their numbers have already reached several hundred. Perhaps in the future, they can even advance to become true Devouring Demon Insects!
Moreover, the individual strength of these Devouring Demonic Insects is comparable to that of an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
"The Devouring Demon Worm that has long since disappeared? How did you obtain it?" Thousand Spider Hermit was extremely shocked.
Where did this nobody cultivator get the Devouring Demon Worm, one of the Ten Great Demonic Insects?
This item is also specifically designed to suppress and devour various spirit beasts, demonic beasts, monsters, demonic cultivators, and evil cultivators, thereby enhancing one's own strength.
Among all the various spirit beasts, the Devouring Demon Worm ranks among the top three in the cultivation world!
It can be said to be the nemesis of his spirit beast, the Poison Jade Spider.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan's Devouring Demon Insects had been gone.
It then devoured the dozens of poisonous jade spiders released by the opponent.
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan's Devouring Demon Insects surged in power.
"This is outrageous! The Poison Jade Spiders have reappeared!" This time, Thousand Spider Hermit went all out, releasing over a thousand Poison Jade Spiders from his spirit beast pouch.
"Hehe, just what I wanted." Lu Xuan chuckled a few times, urging his Devouring Demon Worm to continuously devour the large number of Poison Jade Spiders in front of him.
Soon, it swallowed most of the poisonous jade spider in front of it.
"You're asking for death." Thousand Spider Hermit was enraged.
His venomous jade spiders had always been invincible; when had he ever suffered such a great loss?
"A top-grade magic weapon, the Bright Moon Blade!" Thousand Spider Hermit was unreasonable, directly unleashing a top-grade magic weapon to deal with Lu Xuan.
"Hmph. A Core Formation Talisman!" Lu Xuan had already prepared the Core Formation Talisman he obtained from Fairy Lingyao.
With Lu Xuan's current strength comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he was able to activate this talisman.
It can kill someone in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
In an instant.
A massive phantom of a sun flew out from the Core Formation talisman in Lu Xuan's hand.
The scorching heat melted the surrounding air, even baking and distorting the void itself.
"A Core Formation Talisman? Its power is comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage? Young friend, stop! This is a misunderstanding..." Seeing that he was no match for Lu Xuan, Thousand Spider Hermit quickly admitted his mistake.
"I don't think this is a misunderstanding. Where did your arrogance go? You cowardly bully, I, Lu, will rid Yunmeng City of this scourge!"
"Excellent! This fellow Daoist is truly a role model for us all! Well said!"
“Yes, fellow Daoist, please make a move! This Thousand Spider Hermit has committed countless evil deeds and has long been condemned by Heaven…” said the surrounding rogue cultivators.
Lu Xuan finished speaking.
He directly activated the illusory image of the sun in the void, which then transformed into a golden thread that instantly pierced through Thousand Spider Hermit's top-grade magic weapon and several defensive magic weapons. In the end, he directly shattered Thousand Spider Hermit's soul, turning him into ashes.
Even Qianzhu Sanren's storage bag turned to ashes.
What a pity.
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
He guessed that his Core Formation talisman was no ordinary item! It was very likely crafted by a cultivator in the mid-stage or even late-stage of Core Formation.
That's incredibly powerful!
Even those in the late Foundation Establishment stage would find it difficult to deal with.
However, this talisman can only be used three times.
The power diminished with each iteration.
Lu Xuan had already used it once.
The second use can at most deal with ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Thank you, Brother Lu," Mo Shuiyun said gratefully.
Lu Xuan once again saved her without hesitation.
This left her speechless with gratitude.
A moment later.
Lu Xuan and Mo Shuiyun parted ways.
They were just about to return to their cave.
Walking down a small alley, a stranger suddenly appeared silently in front of Lu Xuan.
This man had a unkempt beard, dark eyebrows, and was very thin; he was probably around middle age.
A middle-aged, disheveled man, reeking of alcohol, suddenly appeared and blocked Lu Xuandao's path:
"If I'm not mistaken, this Core Formation talisman of yours comes from the Heavenly Demon Sect, doesn't it?"
Lu Xuan's expression shifted.
Perform the Qi-gazing technique.
However, they discovered that the other party's aura was extremely vast, like a mighty river, endless and far surpassing that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was very likely a Core Formation cultivator!
