Chapter 145: Iron Fist
“So you were circling around the village to make preparations in advance.”
The old woman suddenly understood.
Lu Bai shook his head: “Just testing it out, didn’t expect the effect to be pretty good.”
The evil spirit controlling the villagers and hiding behind them was clearly trying to force them to act against the villagers.
After all, in the Incense Sect System, immortals doing good deeds get incense offering blessings, and the spirit messengers under them naturally belong to the lawful faction.
If an incense master acts recklessly and harms lives, they will basically suffer dire consequences and won’t meet a good end.
By that time, even if unwilling deep down, they would be forced to detach from the Incense Sect System,
Under the influence of these factors, the reason for the loss of nearly a hundred villagers was self-evident.
The evil spirit hiding behind had failed to force them to join, so it would likely take action personally next.
So Lu Bai didn’t relax; instead, he secretly heightened his vigilance.
As expected, what they would face next, besides an evil spirit with at least An Kan Cultivation, would also include the household guardian immortals from each family in the village.
Seeing these villagers all lose control, the evil spirit hiding behind finally couldn’t sit still.
The village elder stepped out from the crowd, accompanied by howling yin wind, his entire figure exuding eerie ghostly aura.
It stared at Lu Bai and said with a fake smile: “You, junior, are somewhat interesting.”
Lu Bai couldn’t possibly be scared by such movement; his face still bore a kindly smile.
“Did you cause all this?”
“Just the beginning, nothing to mention.”
The village elder waved his hand fearlessly due to backing.
To put it bluntly, in its eyes, in this territory, the only ones worth fearing were Master Bai Fourteen and Chang Shengtian in Qinggang Forest.
Incense master?
Not worth a chuckle.
Initially, it planned to use these incense masters like Lu Bai to scheme against Master Bai Fourteen.
Since it hadn’t succeeded, there was no need to drag it out.
During this time, Shi Xiangtou seized the opportunity to cut a gash in his palm, muttering under his breath.
Causing his blood to condense into several blood arrows that shot toward the village elder.
Unable to burn incense didn’t mean the incense masters would lose their ability to resist.
Shi Xiangtou had taken down quite a few evil spirits with this blood arrow technique.
However, the previously invincible blood arrows posed no threat to the village elder at all.
It simply waved its sleeve, blocking and absorbing the several blood arrows.
It was all too easy, making Shi Xiangtou’s heart race with fear.
“That’s a nice trick, got anything else?”
The village elder unhurriedly walked toward the group, each step feeling like it stomped on their hearts, causing their heartbeats to accelerate uncontrollably.
The two death fighters exchanged a glance, and A Niu gave a barely perceptible nod.
As death fighters, they could never stand on the same side as the natives.
Moreover, the current situation was so clear.
Not exaggerating at all, if the village elder showed even a hint of wanting to recruit them, they would surrender without the slightest hesitation.
As the village elder stepped forward bit by bit, the distance between the two sides kept shortening.
Twenty meters…
Ten meters…
Perhaps the distance was close enough.
The old woman, who had been holding her breath in concentration, grabbed her cane and twisted it hard.
The cane’s outer shell scattered like wood chips, revealing the spike inside.
The spike was fully thirty centimeters long, its tip gleaming with chilling light.
She didn’t show it off or explain, directly launching the spike to thrust at the village elder.
This spike from Master Bai Fourteen clearly had much greater power than Shi Xiangtou’s blood arrow technique.
Whoosh~
A shrill sound cutting through the air.
The misty white fog emanating from the spike parted the yin wind, further boosting the thrust’s speed.
It barely managed to strike the opponent before the village elder could react.
But,
The effect wasn’t ideal.
Far from penetrating, the spike only pierced three or four centimeters into the village elder’s body before being forcibly stopped by thick magic power.
“Not bad, underestimated you all.”
The village elder wasn’t angry; even if this body was ruined, he could just switch to another: “One last chance for you all, how about establishing a new order together?”
This was exactly what A Niu and A Ma were waiting for.
They rushed out from behind the three incense masters at top speed, knelt swiftly at the village elder’s feet, and hurriedly shouted: “Willing, we are willing.”
Seeing this, Shi Xiangtou’s eyes bulged like copper bells, instinctively wanting to curse, but he was stopped by Lu Bai raising his hand.
The village elder on the other side fell somewhat silent.
Of course it was good to have someone surrender, but the problem was he valued the three incense masters opposite more.
As for ordinary people, there were still several hundred in the village.
Two more or two less made no difference to him.
“Good, those who understand the times are heroes.”
The village elder awkwardly complimented them.
He then ignored them and turned his attention back to Lu Bai and the other two: “What about you three’s ideas?”
“No offense meant.”
Lu Bai added with a smile: “Just think establishing a new order is something for big shots at least at Four Great Immortals’ level, right?”
Hearing this, Shi Xiangtou was startled, not quite understanding why Lu Bai was still deliberately provoking the other at this point.
“Heh… looks like I acted too kindly.”
The village elder flicked his sleeve, and yin wind surged immediately.
Around it, illusory yet real seductive women appeared, twisting their bodies, smiling like flowers, their coquettish giggles endless.
Even with defenses, Shi Xiangtou was affected, his gaze gradually becoming dazed.
“Shi Xiangtou, we’re battle-hardened, don’t lose face.”
As Lu Bai spoke, he conveniently slapped Shi Xiangtou, temporarily restoring his senses.
“Speaking of which, since becoming an incense master, I haven’t tried this power yet.”
He turned to the village elder, smiling as he raised his right hand, his entire right arm gradually covered in misty white light.
Fox-like facial fur grew on the village elder’s face, his voice becoming much sharper: “You just became an incense master? That’s too bad.”
Lu Bai proactively walked toward the village elder, the misty white light on his right arm condensing into cone-shaped white glows, dense as if solid.
“Directly borrowing power?”
The village elder chuckled in disbelief.
Normally, ninety-nine percent of incense masters could borrow little immortal magic power, and even if they could, they couldn’t unleash its proper power.
This was why incense masters developed various techniques and methods.
A Niu and A Ma knelt beside the village elder, bodies tense, hoping to avoid complications and wanting it to quickly finish off Lu Bai, yet not daring to speak rashly.
“Any problem?”
As Lu Bai spoke, black smoke surged from his left arm too, rising madly like burning flames.
Seeing this, the village elder’s expression tightened.
“How…”
Before it finished speaking, Lu Bai’s figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was directly above the village elder.
“Materialism Iron Fist!”
Before the words finished, Lu Bai’s right arm covered in white spikes smashed heavily toward the village elder!
