Li Hongzhuang’s face subtly changed.
She had already changed her appearance and attire, but she was still recognized by members of the Cui family.
However, considering her previous attempt to steal the Elixir Core Pill from the Cui family, being recognized now didn’t seem so surprising.
So, Li Hongzhuang coldly retorted, "Old man, today, it’s uncertain who will meet their doom."
"Miss Li, are these the experts you’ve hired?"
"No wonder you have the confidence to infiltrate my Cui family. Peak-level organ-refining strength is truly remarkable."
"If I’m not mistaken, the monk Luo Tian from the Yihong Pavilion was probably also killed by you, all to move a portion of the Cui family’s organ-refining practitioners, right?"
Lu Changsheng remained silent, his gaze fixed on the three elderly men in front of him.
The three of them exuded surging energy, seemingly interconnected, and radiated a terrifying aura.
"Thirteen, these three old men are the three peak-level organ-refining experts of the Cui family."
"Who would’ve thought they’ve been stationed in the alchemy room the whole time? Have you taken the Elixir Core Pill?" Li Hongzhuang suddenly thought of a possibility.
The Cui family had refined thirteen Elixir Core Pills, so couldn’t they use them?
Once the Elixir Core Pill was consumed, and the Elixir Core Secret Technique was perfected, they could succeed in forming their Elixir Cores.
Seeing the three elders of the Cui family remaining silent, Li Hongzhuang shook her head vigorously. "It’s impossible!"
"Even if you have the Elixir Core Pill, the Elixir Core Secret Technique is incredibly profound. Achieving perfection is far from easy."
"Humph, you’re just bluffing."
Li Hongzhuang herself had been practicing the Elixir Core Secret Technique for years.
However, even after a decade of practice, she had only achieved a low level of proficiency.
Reaching the peak of the technique seemed impossibly distant.
The difficulty of the Elixir Core Secret Technique lay in the challenging process of refining the Elixir Core Pill and the complexity of perfecting the Elixir Core Secret Technique.
"Whether it’s just bluffing or not, we’ll find out soon enough."
Lu Changsheng suddenly spoke.
The next moment, without warning, he dashed forward.
A flash of white light passed in an instant.
With sharp sword energy, the three Cui family elders felt their entire bodies turn cold, as if they were being sliced by razor-sharp sword edges all over.
"Three Powers Formation!"
The three Cui family elders also unsheathed their swords and formed the Three Powers Formation.
This was a joint attack method, where each of them occupied a different position to watch over and assist each other.
Lu Changsheng’s sword might be able to kill one of the Cui family elders in a single strike.
However, the moment Lu Changsheng’s sword cut the throat of one of the elders, the swords of the other two Cui family elders would also arrive in an instant. At that moment, Lu Changsheng would face certain death.
After all, despite Lu Changsheng’s impressive physical qualities, he was still made of flesh and blood and couldn’t withstand the combination of their weapons.
Only by wearing armor, like Zhao Xing from the Venomous Sect, could someone remain unafraid of weapon attacks.
"He’s incredibly fast!"
"Among organ-refining practitioners, such speed is rare."
"This young man mustn’t be spared!"
"For an organ-refining practitioner to break through our Three Powers Formation is simply impossible!"
The three elders of the Cui family were very confident.
With their speed and coordination, once they joined forces, even peak-level organ-refining warriors would be defeated.
In the past, the three of them had joined hands to kill a renowned top-tier organ-refining warrior in the martial world.
However, they hadn’t teamed up in many years, and many people had forgotten their reputation.
Three steps, two steps, one step...
In the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng was just one step away from the closest Cui family elder.
At such a close range, his sword could easily pierce the elder’s throat.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn’t retreat or dodge, the elderly Cui family member displayed a hint of astonishment in his eyes. Googlᴇ search NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
Could he really be willing to trade his life for theirs?
"Impossible! You must be bluffing."
"At my age, I’m as old as the setting sun in the twilight of my years."
"You are still young, a young organ-refining warrior. Would you really exchange your life for mine?" The Cui family elder simply couldn’t believe it.
He clenched his teeth and also didn’t back down.
At the same time, the other two elders of the Cui family attacked Lu Changsheng from different directions.
"Thirteen!" Li Hongzhuang bit her lip.
She was an outsider, so she could see the situation more clearly.
"Thirteen" had seemingly plunged into the encirclement of the three Cui family elders, showing no sign of retreat.
Even if he could kill one of them, it was certain death for him as well.
However, this didn’t match "Thirteen’s" style.
Li Hongzhuang knew that "Thirteen" cherished his life, so why would he be willing to trade his life for the Cui family elders?
At this moment, Lu Changsheng had indeed broken through the Three Powers Formation.
He was only one step away from the nearest elder.
Given his speed, not only one step, even within three steps, no one below the Godlike Realm could stop his sword.
With a light sound, Lu Changsheng’s sword had actually pierced the throat of the Cui family elder closest to him.
Instantly, blood sprayed everywhere.
One of the formidable peak-level organ-refining warriors, one of the Cui family elders, stared wide-eyed at Lu Changsheng, as if he couldn’t believe that Lu Changsheng was truly willing to trade his life.
"Life for life! We will grant your wish!"
In a split second, the last elder’s soul shook, and without hesitation, he swiftly retreated, back into the alchemy room. He immediately closed the door tightly.
Lu Changsheng came to a halt.
He stood with his sword, and the short sword continued to drip blood.
Two additional corpses lay on the ground.
"Is this it for the Cui family elders?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
Lu Changsheng felt that if he had faced them individually, not one of them would have been on par with Zhao Qilei.
At least Zhao Qilei’s "Swift Blade" had made Lu Changsheng take notice.
The Cui family elders’ Three Powers Formation had no effect on Lu Changsheng.
He had broken it with ease.
This scene was also observed by Li Hongzhuang.
She looked at Lu Changsheng with a puzzled expression.
Were the Cui family elders weak?
It wasn’t a sure thing.
If they were dealing with someone else, the Cui family elders’ Three Powers Formation, which combined offense and defense, would be practically invincible against those below the Godlike Realm.
However, Lu Changsheng’s "Silk Thread Swords" were incredibly powerful, and combined with his instant-killing technique, the Three Powers Formation was simply a joke.
"Perhaps it’s not that the Cui family elders are too weak, but that Thirteen is too strong..."
Li Hongzhuang looked at the corpses of the two Cui family elders on the ground and felt a sense of excitement.
Thirteen had killed two elders with a snap of his fingers. With such incredible strength, who in the Cui family could contend with him?
