The Iron Guards lay sprawled on the ground.
All the yamen runners on the perimeter were stunned, and even Cao Mang collapsed to the ground. Zhou Dapeng ran fast but only suffered injuries from the fall. Knowing how terrifying Qin Luo was, he scrambled away from the county government office.
Inside the county government office, Zhu Chi remained completely calm. He was surrounded by numerous cultivators, and with Mu Baichuan and Hu Sanniang in charge, even a Nascent Soul expert couldn't get close to him.
Unless Qin Luo is even more powerful than a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Mu Baichuan frowned. He couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from Qin Luo and asked in confusion, "Are you a martial artist?"
Qin Luo did not answer. He put Zi Yue down and said softly, "Junior Sister, step back."
"Uh-huh."
Ziyue nodded obediently.
She ran up to the steps of the county government office and sat down.
Qin Luo looked at Zhu Chi with a smile and said calmly, "I'll give you one more chance. As long as you don't become enemies with Longhu Temple in the future, I can let you go."
"Hahaha."
"You'll let me go?"
"This young master will not let you off the hook."
Zhu Chi remained arrogant, urging, "Elder Mu, what are you waiting for?"
Mu Baichuan dared not be careless. He gripped his cane tightly and said solemnly, "Form ranks!"
The numerous cultivators before Zhu Chi stepped forward simultaneously, wielding longswords and radiating multicolored light. Mu Baichuan shouted, "Draw your swords!"
Fifteen cultivators drew their swords simultaneously, creating a dazzling display of sword light in the courtyard. Qin Luo watched the sword light approach and opened his arms as if to embrace it.
Hu San Niang looked puzzled.
Qin Luo's sleeves were blown by the wind, and then a gale surged into the county government office, condensing into countless streaks of azure sword light.
Ding ding ding!
The swords clashed.
The multicolored sword light quickly disappeared.
Upon seeing the cyan sword light approaching, Mu Baichuan immediately placed his cane in front of him and used his spiritual power to create a cyan barrier.
Da da da!
Countless cyan sword lights struck the barrier, leaving sword marks on it, and the barrier was soon covered with cracks.
Mu Baichuan frowned. Seeing that something was wrong, he could only retreat. The moment the barrier shattered, the cultivators standing in front lost their protection, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen cultivators fell into pools of blood.
The remaining cyan sword light rushed towards Zhu Chi.
Zhu Chi was greatly alarmed.
He instinctively stepped back.
Mu Baichuan teleported in front of Zhu Chi and slammed his cane into the ground. Dozens of thick green vines then sprouted from the ground, forming an impenetrable wall of trees.
Bang!
A huge explosion rang out.
The people of Jinyang City all saw the commotion at the county government office, but ordinary people dared not go to join the fun.
Lin Gan and Wu Qingliu of the Treasure Pavilion stood on a high place.
"He is a celestial master from Longhu Temple."
"We should stand firm in our position."
“Old Wu, taking sides is not like doing business. It’s better to do nothing than to make a mistake.”
The county government office was in complete disarray. Mu Baichuan had expended a great deal of spiritual energy, cutting down countless green vines, which ultimately blocked Qin Luo's attack.
Qin Luo remained calm.
He didn't seem to have expended any energy at all.
Ziyue's sleeves suddenly billowed up, and a wisp of breeze emerged, as if trying to rush over to help.
"Little Whirlwind, come back!"
Ziyue grabbed Little Whirlwind's tail and pulled it back, saying, "Don't make things worse!"
The little whirlwind slipped into Ziyue's sleeve.
"It's still a bit lacking."
Qin Luo shook his head. He summoned Qingfeng to help him, but Qingfeng fought alone and did not achieve the desired effect. He often focused on enlightenment and cultivation and lacked practical combat experience.
Mu Baichuan touched his old face with his hand, which was slightly damp. There was a cut on his face from the wind blade. "It's been so many years. I never thought I would get injured again."
"You can ride the wind without using spiritual power? Are you a talisman master who specializes in spiritual power?" Mu Baichuan was very curious, as he still didn't know Qin Luo's cultivation level.
Hu Sanniang was also observing Qin Luo. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body. At first, she thought he was a pure martial artist, but now she felt that he was a talisman master who specialized in spiritual power.
Talisman masters are rare.
There are even fewer talisman masters who specialize in spiritual power.
Most talisman masters draw talismans using spiritual power.
Zhu Chi knew Qin Luo was difficult to deal with, so he frowned and asked, "Third Sister, are you still planning to just watch the show?"
Hu Sanniang smiled and said coquettishly, "Young Master, he's not easy to deal with!"
"Kill him, double the reward!"
"make a deal!"
Hu Sanniang gave a wicked smile.
Mu Baichuan was under a lot of pressure. He said in a deep voice, "Attack together, fight in close combat, don't give him a chance to cast spells."
Seeing them join forces to attack, Qin Luo was not surprised but delighted. He was just lacking combat experience, so he would use them as practice.
At first, Zhu Chi had a playful expression, but now he was tense, and even the jade fan in his hand had cracked.
Hu Sanniang moved quickly, appearing behind Qin Luo with fire in her palms. Mu Baichuan appeared in front of Qin Luo, using his cane as a weapon to smash Qin Luo's head. They attacked from both sides simultaneously.
Qin Luo stood still, his body radiating light.
His whole body was enveloped in golden light.
Bang!
The cane struck the golden light, sparks flying. Mu Baichuan's arm trembled, and his scalp tingled. This cane was a high-grade spiritual weapon, yet it couldn't penetrate Qin Luo's protective golden light.
Hu Sanniang slapped the golden light behind Qin Luo with her palm, as if she had struck an indestructible rock. Her palm was torn open, and hot blood dripped down continuously.
Qin Luo was somewhat disappointed. The two of them looked very powerful, but they couldn't even break through the protective golden light.
Zhu Chi couldn't help but gasp.
"Go for it, senior!"
Ziyue raised the candied hawthorn in her hand and shouted.
Qin Luo clenched his fist and slammed it towards Mu Baichuan.
