“How is this possible!”
The man pursuing Lu Quanzhen gazed at the scene above him, his complexion suddenly turning deathly pale.
He had never expected that his brother Tuoba Lie would be killed by a single punch!
It was known that Brother Tuoba was a formidable figure within the Spirit Taming Sect, with an impressive combat power.
But now, he had been killed by a single punch!
And there was also Sister Yang and the Golden Crowned Black Feather Eagle!
His face was extremely pale and full of shock. Seeing Lu Quanzhen coming to kill him, he was overwhelmed with fear and wanted to run away.
But his mount, the Giant Wolf, was startled by the recent show of force and hesitated.
“Go!”
He hurriedly took out a Talisman from his Storage Bag, hoping to use it to escape.
But Lu Quanzhen’s attack was already on the way; the Kunpeng Five Elements Technique surged like a massive wave, and the Thunder Fire Talisman he had been holding was activated in an instant.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!”
Rolling thunder and flames rushed towards Zhou Ba; in the blink of an eye, they devoured both him and the Giant Wolf.
“Quanzhen, are you okay?”
At that moment, Lu Ping’an arrived by Lu Quanzhen’s side and asked.
That punch he had thrown without holding back had cost him dearly, causing his blood and Qi to surge within him, leaving his face somewhat pale.
“I’m fine…”
A warm feeling arose in Lu Quanzhen’s heart.
He indicated that he had just been chased by three people and couldn’t resolve the situation alone, so he had signaled for help, but he was not seriously harmed.
“That’s good to hear.”
Lu Ping’an said with a smile upon hearing this.
“I didn’t expect your strength to be so astonishing, brother.”
Lu Quanzhen exclaimed.
He felt that Lu Ping’an’s combat power now might be enough to challenge Lu Qingshan.
However, he could tell that the price Lu Ping’an paid for that punch was not small.
“It’s alright, I’ve always been unclear about my own strength, as I’ve never used my full force before.”
Lu Ping’an shook his head.
After breaking through the fifth layer of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, he had slain a few Parasitic Cultivators.
Then on the way to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, he killed a few Energy Refining Robbery Cultivators.
So he wasn’t quite sure about his own combat power.
He only knew that his strength was not inferior to a Ninth Level Energy Refinement.
“These few seem quite wealthy; it’s been a substantial haul.”
Lu Quanzhen picked up a pile of Storage Bags and Magic Artifacts from the shredded Magical Robe of the wolf-mounted man.
The three had hunted down many Cultivators, resulting in more than a dozen Storage Bags.
Then he and Lu Ping’an picked up all the Magic Artifacts and Storage Bags from Tuoba Lie and the Female Cultivator.
Among these Magic Artifacts, the red Luo Umbrella was severely damaged under Lu Ping’an’s punch; the other Artifacts were relatively undamaged.
Lu Quanzhen handed these Storage Bags to Lu Ping’an and then picked up Tuoba Lie’s Black Gold Great Bow to examine.
He could tell that it was a top-tier Top-Grade Magic Artifact.
“Brother, this bow is pretty good. I think it suits you.”
Lu Quanzhen handed the Black Gold Great Bow to Lu Ping’an, saying so.
Bow and arrow Artifacts like this require not only Mana but also physical strength.
“Indeed, it’s pretty nice, but my archery skills are just average, and I haven’t practiced in a long time.”
Lu Ping’an took the bow, attempting to draw it into a full moon.
“Brother, let’s find a place to rest first.”
“Once we’re ready, we’ll head straight to the central area.”
Lu Quanzhen suggested.
He had originally planned to train around the periphery.
But through several bouts, he had gained a rough understanding of his own capabilities.
Knowing that staying on the fringes was pointless, he prepared to head straight for the center.
“Okay.”
Lu Ping’an nodded in agreement.
“Hm?”
At that moment, a chill crossed Lu Quanzhen’s eyes as he looked to the side.
He saw an old Daoist and a young man cautiously approaching.
His palm rose lightly, ready to strike.
“Quanzhen, these are friends I met on the way.”
Lu Ping’an quickly called out upon seeing this.
“Brother An, I saw you were in a hurried state earlier, so I followed you here, wondering if I could be of any help.”
Old Daoist Kong immediately spoke up.
He had sensed the astonishing commotion here earlier.
Seeing the ashes and Artifacts on the ground, he could roughly guess what had happened, fearing that the two might kill to silence witnesses.
After all, the Lu Ping’an before him seemed like a kind and generous man.
But the Lu Quanzhen before him was different.
Just now, he distinctly felt a murderous intent from Lu Quanzhen.
“Daoist Kong, Young Daoist Kong, I am preparing to head to the central area of the Secret Realm, so I won’t be able to journey with you both. I’m truly sorry,” Lu Ping’an said with an apologetic expression.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. We’ve already benefitted from Brother An’s company along the way.”
“If that is the case, Brother An, take care on your journey.”
Old Daoist Kong made a bowing gesture with his hands.
“Brother An, take care!”
Young Kong next to him said also, feeling somewhat regretful.
After all, traveling with Lu Ping’an provided not only safety but also potential for considerable gains.
“Brother, let’s go.”
Without further words, Lu Quanzhen packed up their findings and left with Lu Ping’an.
They found a secluded spot, set up a Formation, and allowed Lu Ping’an to recuperate before heading to the central area.
“Alas, such Flood Dragons are beyond us Loose Cultivators to befriend. Simply having acquainted with them is already great luck.”
Old Daoist Kong watched the two leave and sighed with a bit of regret to his grandson.
He had thought of befriending them to help his grandson.
But now he knew that they were completely unmatched.
Unless he and his grandson were strong enough and daring enough to go with them to the center and then come out alive.
“Grandfather, rest assured, I will surely break through to the Foundation Establishment in the future; I won’t disappoint you.”
Young Kong took a deep breath, speaking earnestly.
He knew his grandfather was striving so hard at his age, entirely for him.
Otherwise, he could comfortably serve as a Visiting Noble Servant in a small Family based on his skills, enjoying his later years.
