Master Xu stroked his goatee and checked the time: "It's almost time."
A table was placed in front of him, with utensils and talismans on it, ready to begin the ritual. Two young Taoist priests assisted him from the side.
Feng Li and Feng Yu were in the center of the talisman array when they suddenly felt a strong wind, which stirred up fine sand and mud, blinding everyone.
The bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, the sky was pitch black, and lightning flashed and thunder roared as if it wanted to shatter the sky.
Su Lenghe looked up at the night sky and whispered, "They came at just the right time."
Rong Yan only felt a dark shadow flash past his eyes. He felt that the shadow looked familiar and subconsciously looked at Su Lenghe.
Looking at the empty space around him, he realized that the dark figure from before was Su Lenghe. She had actually taken off from the ground and jumped directly to the second floor.
He jumped to the second floor without being suspended by wires.
Is this still an ordinary person?
On the second floor, everyone's attention was on Master Xu.
"Crash—" The sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out.
Everyone instinctively looked over and saw a slender figure holding a peach wood sword, pointing it directly at Master Xu's brow.
Caught off guard, Master Xu instinctively dodged backward, his waist slamming into the table, causing all the incense and talismans on the table to fall to the ground.
"Pfft—" The spell was interrupted midway, and Master Xu suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The night sky, which had just been covered by dark clouds, suddenly cleared up, revealing a gentle breeze and a bright moon.
"How dare you disrupt my spell! I'll take your life today!" Master Xu unleashed a Heavenly Thunder Talisman, striking directly at Su Lenghe.
"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for using the Heavenly Thunder Talisman to harm people?"
"The only one who will die is you. I'm just conserving my strength for a while." Master Xu narrowed his eyes and, without the slightest hesitation, unleashed a heavenly lightning talisman.
Looking at the familiar talisman patterns, Su Lenghe narrowed her eyes slightly, flipped her peach wood sword, and blocked the first bolt of heavenly lightning.
This person's talismans are exactly the same as those of the Taoist priests of Qingfeng Pavilion, so they must be from the same sect. However, this person's Taoist skills are obviously a notch higher.
"Boom—"
Another bolt of lightning struck down, and Su Lenghe quickly formed a hand seal, creating a golden light around her to protect her.
"Master Su!" Rong Yan had just climbed up when he saw this scene, which startled him greatly.
"It seems they're working together." Master Xu changed direction, and the heavenly lightning struck Rong Yan directly.
Su Lenghe summoned her peach wood sword to protect Rong Yan. This time, however, she was unable to protect him. Master Xu smiled smugly: "The Immortal Slaughtering Formation!"
The young Taoist priest moved with lightning speed, conjuring up talismans that formed a triangle with Master Xu, trapping Su Lenghe within.
Master Xu said proudly, "I didn't expect you, little kid, to have such skills."
Su Lenghe: "You're just as useless as that Taoist priest!"
Master Xu suddenly realized and said, "So you destroyed my junior brother's puppet. Then your death today wasn't entirely unjust!"
