“Savior! Help!”
Just then, the woman holding the baby cried out to Lu Ping’an in terror.
Faced with this, Lu Ping’an didn’t pay any heed.
He had been called simpleminded by his father, mother, and even Qin Yi, but he wasn’t actually foolish.
How could he fail to see that there was something wrong with this woman?
It’s just that he felt some pity for her, seeing her with a child in her arms, so he didn’t make a big issue of it.
At this moment, witnessing the gang of six attacking, he naturally knew the woman was in cahoots with these assailants.
“Wah!!!”
“Um?”
Lu Ping’an, slightly distracted by the crying, glanced at the woman.
He saw her about to strike the baby with her palm.
At this sight, he immediately extended his hand, conjuring an invisible giant hand from spiritual power, intending to snatch the baby from the woman’s grasp.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
Seeing this, the other six attackers seized the opportunity and immediately directed their techniques at both Lu Ping’an and the baby.
“Boom boom boom—”
A spiritual energy shield formed around Lu Ping’an, protecting both him and the baby, as he quickly deployed a Golden Bell Shield Talisman.
But the assault from so many techniques made the golden bell around him dim considerably.
“Hmm? This kid even has a Superior Grade Talisman!”
“Hurry up and attack, don’t give him a chance to breathe!”
“At this point, don’t hold back. If he has any more tricks up his sleeve, we might all end up dead here!”
The six Parasitic Cultivators, seeing the situation, all changed their expressions and shouted aloud together.
At this moment, they didn’t dare to hold back, for fear Lu Ping’an had more tricks up his sleeve.
“Ah ah ah!!!”
At this time, the little ghost, An, inside the wooden carving in Lu Ping’an’s arms, appeared, screaming sharply, wanting to help him fight back.
“Go back!”
Lu Ping’an immediately said.
Little An was just an ordinary ghost.
If hit by a technique, she would likely become unstable and be destroyed.
“Ah ah ah!!!”
Little An continued to scream, moving to attack the baby in Lu Ping’an’s arms.
“Ah!!!”
The baby in his arms suddenly let out a piercing cry, making Lu Ping’an feel his mental spirit falter.
Then, the baby’s fair skin rapidly turned blue-black and fierce, lunging at Lu Ping’an.
Little An immediately tightly grasped the Ghost Infant to keep it from attacking Lu Ping’an.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
Simultaneously, a barrage of techniques bombarded Lu Ping’an, shattering his Golden Light Barrier Talisman. He was flung sideways, emitting a muffled groan.
“Good, good, good, Mrs. Qi’s plan is indeed brilliant!”
The six onlookers, all delighted by the scene, continued their assault on Lu Ping’an.
They had investigated and analyzed why they should move against Lu Ping’an.
They knew the weaknesses of such a young man, who was full of righteousness and liked to act heroically.
“Damn!”
Lu Ping’an hadn’t expected the baby to be a Ghost Infant, leading to his downfall.
At this moment, he saw the previously frail and pitiable woman in the distance, her demeanor completely transformed, her hands forming Gesture Incantations, casting techniques.
Obviously, she was no mortal, but a Cultivator.
She had simply concealed her Cultivation Base Aura somehow.
Lu Ping’an had no time to think further and hurriedly brought out a small Magic Artifact shield to position in front of him.
Then, his body surged with blood energy as he reached toward the Ghost Infant. With one grasp, he crushed it, dispersing its soul, and shouted to Little An, “Go back, An!”
Hearing this, Little An didn’t dare to disobey and immediately retreated into the wooden carving.
“Bang bang bang—”
However, in an instant, another volley of techniques came at him.
“Escape!”
Lu Ping’an used the small shield to block the offensive, but being at the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement, he still couldn’t help but feel his blood energy churn as he faced such onslaught.
He didn’t continue to stand his ground and instead blasted through the dilapidated temple like a human cannonball, fleeing outside.
As the saying goes, one can hardly stand up against multiple foes. One-on-one, he could’ve easily taken any of them down.
But facing the seven of them attacking together proved too much for him.
Moreover, the thirteen Talismans his father had given him had largely been used up in the previous escape, leaving him with only a few.
“Chase him! He’s been poisoned by me and won’t get far!”
Mrs. Qi, who had previously held the baby, said coldly, dashing in the direction Lu Ping’an had fled.
At this time, she seemed like a different person entirely, with a gloomy and cold expression on her face.
“We absolutely can’t let him escape, this man is not only exceptionally skilled in Martial Path Body Refinement but also possesses Superior Grade Talismans and at least three Magic Artifacts!”
The other six, realizing this, continuously formed Gesture Incantations, casting techniques, chasing after Lu Ping’an.
After all, Lu Ping’an’s capabilities represented an opportunity for them.
“Not good, I’ve been poisoned!”
After running for a while, Lu Ping’an felt something was wrong, realizing he had been poisoned.
He had always been knowledgeable about poisons and his Cultivation Technique had some resistance to them.
But his opponents had come prepared, or more specifically, they had targeted him, leaving him caught off guard.
“Alas, it’s just like my parents said, my nature will lead to trouble sooner or later. But I just can’t change.”
A bitter smile appeared on Lu Ping’an’s face.
Not daring to delay, he took out his last Escape Talisman for escaping.
“Buzz—”
As the Talisman in his hand activated and burned, Lu Ping’an was enveloped by it, transforming into a Divine Rainbow shooting forth.
