Cao Yanbing's face was grim, and he wanted his younger brother to run away quickly.
However, he could not abandon Xiao Rou, the spirit who was already severely injured.
"I can't abandon my sister!" Cao Xuanliang shouted.
"But if this continues, we will all be in danger!"
"I promised Mom and Dad that I would protect you!" Cao Yanbing replied.
"No, absolutely not!!"
At this moment, Xiao Rou, who was trembling all over, emitted wisps of black energy from her body.
Xiao Rou, driven to despair, is about to transform into an evil spirit.
"Alas, Master Zhang, let's save people first." Just then, Zhang Bairen's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Bairen's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.
Lu Tianyou frowned and asked arrogantly, "Hey, you brat, don't you know that Rakshasa Street is my territory, Lu Tianyou's territory?!"
"Oh, really? From now on, this Rakshasa Street will belong to the Zhang family!" Zhang Bairen's tone was extremely calm, as if he were stating a given fact.
At the same time, a dignified Taoist priest carrying a long sword and holding a whisk began to chant a calming mantra.
"The Supreme Star, responding without ceasing."
Exorcise evil spirits and protect your life.
Wisdom is clear and bright, and the mind is at peace.
The three souls are eternal, and the spirit is never lost.
Accompanied by a clear and resonant Daoist chant, golden immortal runes floated into Xiao Rou's body.
To cultivate the Tao, one must first cultivate the mind; therefore, the Purification Mantra is the first of the Eight Divine Mantras.
Reciting this mantra can calm the mind, guide the spirit back to the right path, and secure the soul.
This mantra can bring the mortal mind into stillness and tranquility, allowing one to reflect on the Daoist mind and enter a state of purity and peace. It also has the effect of protecting the soul and spirit.
Therefore, Xiaorou, who had been in despair, gradually recovered.
The dark aura surrounding her vanished completely under the golden light.
Yan Qing stood protectively in front of Lu Tianyou and solemnly said, "Young Master, this person's guardian spirit is the legendary Immortal Martial Spirit."
"Hmph! So what if it's a Celestial Martial Spirit? The strength of a Guardian Spirit also depends on the strength and realm of the spirit host!" Lu Tianyou replied disdainfully.
Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.
In his view, even if this brat's guardian spirit was a celestial martial spirit, it was impossible for him to possess strength and realm surpassing his at such a young age.
True geniuses are always extremely rare.
Moreover, even geniuses rarely possess formidable strength before they reach adulthood.
When Cao Xuanliang saw that the spirit Xiaorou had returned to normal, he instantly smiled with joy.
Cao Yanbing looked at Zhang Bairen and said in a serious tone, "Since we have a common enemy, let's join forces first."
He's much older than us, and his guardian spirit is Yan Qing.
Although Cao Yanbing disliked Zhang Bairen's words.
But now, the only option is to join forces and fight against Lu Tianyou.
Zhang Bairen crossed his arms and calmly recounted, "Yan Qing is not bad, but the spirit master is a good-for-nothing."
Even if he's older than us, it doesn't change the fact that he's a good-for-nothing!
Lu Tianyou flew into a rage and immediately ordered, "Yan Qing, kill this arrogant brat!"
"yes!"
Without hesitation, Yan Qing drew the bowstring and fired several crossbow bolts at Zhang Tianshi.
"Yu Jin, hurry over and help!" Cao Yanbing shouted urgently.
"Yes, my lord!"
It didn't mean he was forbidden to fight, for Zhang Tianshi flicked his whisk, which entangled all of Yan Qing's crossbow bolts.
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, dazzling golden light spread across the sky. Yan Qing spread his arms to protect Lu Tianyou, but even so, the two of them still screamed and flew hundreds of meters away.
The gap in strength is already obvious.
"Damn it! Damn it!!" Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and several bones were broken, as Lu Tianyou propped himself up from the ruins.
If Yan Qing hadn't intervened in time, and if spiritual energy hadn't provided protection, that attack would have been fatal.
It's estimated that he's already dead.
On the scene, Cao Yanbing and Yu Jin, who witnessed Zhang Tianshi's intervention, both showed expressions of utter shock.
"So strong, he's not even a match for me!"
"My lord, this man is surely unfathomable!" Yu Jin warned.
Cao Yanbing nodded blankly, indicating that he had already seen it.
"That's amazing! He's even better than my brother!" Cao Xuanliang's eyes sparkled with admiration.
Xiao Rou stood up from the ground and walked to Zhang Tianshi's side.
She almost turned into an evil spirit just now, but now she has fully recovered.
The person who was once a benefactor wanted to abandon her in order to protect her younger brother.
The little boy who had been protecting himself now had his older brother's protection and no longer needed him.
So, Xiaorou stood behind Zhang Tianshi, free from all attachments, ready to start a new life.
Zhang Bairen reached out and rubbed the girl's head.
"Don't worry, the future will be full of hope."
Zhang Bairen made the promise.
Xiao Rou nodded gently, her eyes no longer showing fear.
"Sister." Cao Xuanliang called out softly when he saw Xiaorou.
Xiao Rou waved slightly, indicating that the two were about to part ways.
Cao Xuanliang was somewhat saddened, but he didn't say much.
Because he wanted to respect his sister's decision.
Cao Yanbing rubbed his younger brother's head, then said to Zhang Bairen, "My name is Cao Yanbing, Cao as in Cao Cao. What's yours?"
"My name is Zhang Bairen," Zhang Bairen replied.
Cao Yanbing was somewhat disappointed, as he had not learned about the other party's bloodline and lineage from their self-introduction.
"Thank you for your help. I, Cao Yanbing, will remember your kindness today."
"I will definitely repay you in the future!" Cao Yanbing said, clasping his hands in gratitude.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for your reward,” Zhang Bairen replied.
Just as the two were exchanging words, Lu Tianyou, who was seriously injured, took out a branch of the spirit locust tree from his pocket.
"Damn brat, how could you hurt me like this!"
"Unfortunately, you underestimated me." As Lu Tianyou spoke, he stuffed all the branches of the spirit locust tree into his mouth.
With the large influx of spiritual energy, Yan Qing's injuries recovered rapidly, and Lu Tianyou's severely wounded body was also quickly healed by this spiritual energy.
The Spirit Tree is one of the four divine trees that constructed the underworld. It contains an immense amount of natural energy and spiritual power. If a person absorbs this energy, it can greatly increase their spiritual power and heal any injuries.
Having fully recovered, Lu Tianyou floated up from the ground.
At this moment, his eyes were glowing purple, and his body was radiating an uncontrollable and terrifying spiritual power.
"Hahahaha, this is power, this is the strongest power that allows me to control everything!" Lu Tianyou's laughter startled Cao Yanbing and Yu Jin.
"My lord, this person's spiritual power has increased several times over, and even his guardian spirit has grown much larger!" Yu Jin reminded him.
Zhang Bairen looked at Lu Tianyou and said in a calm tone, "Master Zhang is kind-hearted and does not wish to commit unnecessary killings."
If this person is ungrateful, then it is their fate to suffer this calamity.
Behind Zhang Bairen, the shadow of another guardian spirit faintly appeared.
