Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 796 Azure Sword

Duan Qiaofeng had no intention of wasting words with Lu Youan. His gaze fell on Lu Youan, and he made another hand seal, about to activate a talisman to send Lu Youan to his death.

Lu Youan watched weakly as the talisman flew towards him, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Big brother!"

Just then, a familiar voice rang in Lu Youan's ears.

Lu Youan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Youning flying over from a distance, his agile figure swimming like a dragon in the rolling sea of ​​fire.

Upon seeing Lu Youning, Lu Youan showed no joy whatsoever; instead, a sense of impatience welled up within him.

"Second brother, run! You're no match for him, cough cough~~"

Lu Youan said urgently, but he was seriously injured and his breath was weak. His words did not reach Lu Youning's ears, but instead caused him to cough violently.

Duan Qiaofeng, who was on the rooftop, also noticed Lu Youning. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. "You've come at the perfect time. I can send you two brothers on your way together!"

With a hand seal, the talisman that was originally aimed at Lu You'an was redirected towards Lu Youning.

Having already witnessed the power of the talisman, Lu Youning dared not be careless in the slightest. He swung his spear, stirring up raging flames, and thrust it towards the incoming talisman.

With a loud bang, the talisman exploded, and a rolling wave of energy rushed towards Lu Youning.

However, Lu Youning was much stronger than Lu Youan. He leaped more than three zhang into the air like a spring up from dry land, dodging the shockwave of the explosion.

Then, without pausing, his body moved through the air like a fish in water, nimble and smooth.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived within ten zhang of Duan Qiaofeng. Ten zhang is a very close distance for a martial artist.

However, Duan Qiaofeng was no pushover. Instead of remaining stationary on the rooftop, he retreated, simultaneously forming a hand seal with one hand and holding a dozen talismans in the other, which he then scattered towards Lu Youning like a shower of flowers.

Lu Youning moved with the agility of a swallow, his spear following him like a shadow as he darted and turned. Suddenly, he leaped high into the air, twisting his body as his spear slashed down with the force of Mount Tai; then he lunged forward, his spear flashing like a boat cutting through the waves, sweeping away the incoming talismans.

But no matter what he did, he could no longer get close to Duan Qiaofeng.

Duan Qiaofeng's talismans seemed to be free, forcing Lu Youning to dodge and weave. Moreover, Duan Qiaofeng only used one type of talisman from beginning to end.

A talisman that can explode, seemingly a very simple talisman, has left the brothers Lu Youan and Lu Youning helpless.

Not far away, Yang Zhengshan hid under the eaves, squinting as he watched this scene.

This was also the first time he had ever seen talismans.

To be honest, this fighting style is really tough to deal with.

He could tell that releasing the talisman was very easy for Duan Qiaofeng. From beginning to end, Duan Qiaofeng appeared relaxed and at ease.

This shows that Duan Qiaofeng is not using his true abilities at all, but is just using some low-level talismans to wear down Lu Youan and Lu Youning.

If it were Yang Zhengshan facing Duan Qiaofeng, Yang Zhengshan didn't know if he could kill Duan Qiaofeng head-on!
Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment. Since he was not confident in a direct confrontation, he decided to launch a sneak attack.

That's the reason he hid here.

With a flick of his wrist, Yang Zhengshan drew a foot-long green sword.

He formed a hand seal, and the Azure Light Sword immediately released a beam of azure light. The next moment, he glanced at Duan Qiaofeng in the air, and with a thought, the Azure Light Sword instantly transformed into a stream of light and shot towards Duan Qiaofeng.

The speed of the Azure Sword was incredibly fast; it covered a distance of over thirty zhang in the blink of an eye.

Duan Qiaofeng, who was entangled with Lu Youning, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, alarm bells rang, and almost instinctively, a talisman appeared in his hand, ready to be activated.

However, his reaction was a step too slow, and the blue light pierced his throat in an instant.

A stream of light pierced through, and droplets of blood scattered out.

The next moment, a bright blue light shield appeared around his body, enveloping him within it.

"Ugh~~" Duan Qiaofeng covered his neck in disbelief, but he did not give up. Instead, he took out a small porcelain bottle and hurriedly poured the liquid inside onto his neck.

The Azure Sword was only a foot long and two fingers wide. Although it pierced Duan Qiaofeng's throat, the wound was not very large.

Such an injury is a big problem for Duan Qiaofeng, but it's not enough to kill him immediately.

Meanwhile, Lu Youning also noticed Duan Qiaofeng's condition and realized that Yang Zhengshan had made his move. Although he didn't know what Yang Zhengshan had done, he knew the principle of striking while the iron was hot.

Without the obstruction of talismans, Lu Youning flashed and appeared in front of Duan Qiaofeng. His spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, carried immense power and fiercely stabbed towards Duan Qiaofeng.

However, just as his spear light pierced the azure light shield on Duan Qiaofeng's body, the light shield immediately rippled, and the ripples vibrated, making it difficult for Lu Youning's spear light to penetrate even an inch.

Lu Youning's pupils suddenly contracted, and the gun barrel trembled, stirring the air with a buzzing sound. The gun shadows were numerous, like a torrential downpour.

At the same time, a streak of blue light shot over again.

Duan Qiaofeng completely ignored Lu Youning's spear light, instead staring at the extremely fast streak of light with a ferocious expression.

He was completely unprepared at first, but now he is on guard.

The wound on his neck was still bleeding, and his severed trachea had not yet been reconnected. Duan Qiaofeng's eyes bulged out, his face flushed, and he almost used his last bit of strength to throw out a stack of talismans.

There were about thirty talismans in this stack. In his haste, Duan Qiaofeng didn't care about anything else and just threw them out.

The next moment, a loud explosion rang out, and the shockwave was accompanied by streaks of azure light.

Seeing this, Yang Zhengshan, who was not far away, made hand seals and his mind raced with thoughts.

The flying azure sword took on more variations under his control.

The previously barely perceptible glint of light suddenly shone brightly. If one could see through that dazzling light, they would find that the azure sword, which had been shooting horizontally, was now spinning at high speed.

"Break it for me!"

Yang Zhengshan gave a silent shout, and in an instant, the Azure Light Sword pierced through six streams of light and water, arriving before Duan Qiaofeng.

Duan Qiaofeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and in the next instant, the Azure Light Sword pierced into his left eye socket, broke through his skull, and shot out from the back of his head.

The gunfire rained down like a storm, and Duan Qiaofeng was instantly reduced to a tattered rag.

Lu Youning was slightly taken aback, then put away his gun and looked at the miserable Duan Qiaofeng, somewhat incredulous.

This time he also noticed the Azure Sword. It was mainly because the Azure Sword had been shining brightly just now, and it was right in front of him, so it was hard for him not to notice it.

"He died just like that?" Lu Youning's expression shifted slightly.

"Brother Lu."

Yang Zhengshan flew over, having already sheathed his Azure Sword.

"Thank you so much, Brother Yang, for your help!" Lu Youning quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's look at Patriarch Lu first!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Yes, yes~~" Lu Youning remembered his older brother and hurriedly flew down. Yang Zhengshan looked at Duan Qiaofeng, who had already fallen into the sea of ​​fire, reached out and took the storage bag from Duan Qiaofeng's body.

Without even checking what was inside the storage bag, he threw it directly into the warehouse of the Spirit Source Land, and then turned and flew towards Lu Youan's location.

Lu Youan's injuries were quite severe, with his internal organs suffering significant damage. He was barely breathing, which startled Lu Youning.

Lu Youning took out a handful of pills and stuffed them into Lu Youan's mouth.

Seeing this, Yang Zhengshan quickly stepped forward and said, "Wait, let me do it!"

Judging by his actions, Lu Youan would probably choke to death on that handful of pills.

With a hand seal, Yang Zhengshan cast a healing spell on Lu Youan. Then, he picked out two good-looking pills from Lu Youning's hand and fed them to Lu Youan with spiritual spring water.

His healing spell is only the most basic level of magic, which is effective in treating external injuries and somewhat useful in treating internal injuries, but not very useful.

"There's no problem for now, you take care of him!" Yang Zhengshan said after checking on Lu Youan and seeing that his condition had stabilized.

"Okay!" Lu Youning nodded slightly.

Yang Zhengshan looked up and around.

The market town had been reduced to a sea of ​​fire, and it was completely unrecognizable from its former self.

Neither the man in black nor any members of the Lu family could be seen.

The ground was littered with corpses, the pungent smell of blood and burnt flesh filled the air, and thick smoke permeated the surroundings. In the distance, the chilling aura and raging flames continued to collide, their aftershocks sweeping in like a whirlwind.

"Brother Yang!" Lu Youning looked at him with concern.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Lu Youan lying on the ground, then at Lu Youning, and said, "I'll go take a look!"

Lu Youning nodded heavily, "Brother Yang, just do your best. If things are beyond our control, then have my father leave!"

Now, the Lu family is powerless to reverse the situation. It's not that they don't have a chance to defeat that evil spirit, but that they don't have a chance to protect the county town.

Lu Youning had already seen this clearly, which is why he wanted to protect Lu Fusheng.

As long as Lu Fusheng is still alive, the Lu family still has a chance to turn things around.

Yang Zhengshan understood perfectly what he meant, nodded, and said, "Be careful, I'll go check it out first!"

Having said that, he no longer hesitated, and like a ghost, he drifted towards the Lu family's residence in the city center.

He tried his best to conceal his aura and ignored the black-robed man who was still causing trouble in the city. He quietly arrived at the place where Lu Fusheng was fighting the evil spirit.

In the air, Lu Fusheng held a long spear, his whole body bathed in flames like a fire god. The long spear danced in his hands like a dragon and a snake, and the condensed spear light carried the spear light to stab the evil ghost opposite him.

In terms of combat methods, the Martial God Realm seems to be not much different from the Heavenly Gang Realm, but in terms of the power of each move, the Martial God Realm is far more powerful than the Heavenly Gang Realm.

Each of Lu Fusheng's shots could spew out a burst of flames, the flames so fierce they almost set the night sky ablaze.

More importantly, those in the Martial God Realm also possess spiritual consciousness, and their perception far surpasses that of martial artists in the Heavenly Gang Realm.

As for that evil spirit!

Yang Zhengshan observed silently and found that the evil spirit was not as scary as he had imagined.

Although it seems that the evil spirit has suppressed Lu Fusheng and put him on the defensive, Lu Fusheng is not completely without the ability to fight back.

What makes this evil spirit truly troublesome is not its fighting prowess, but rather its apparent lack of physical form; to be precise, its body is more like a pure energy entity.

An energy body formed from the condensation of Yin energy.

Therefore, even if Lu Fusheng injured it, he could not defeat it.

Moreover, Yang Zhengshan felt that this evil spirit was very clumsy, only knowing how to use brute force to attack Lu Fusheng, and did not know any magic or other means.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and thought to himself, "This evil spirit seems powerful, but it looks more like a brute. It seems to have very low intelligence and doesn't know any sophisticated magic!"

"Its most troublesome aspect is the regenerative power of its energy body. As long as it possesses sufficient Yin energy, it seems to be an indestructible entity."

Facing such a demon for the first time, Yang Zhengshan was unsure of himself and didn't dare to rush over rashly.

But after observing for a while, he felt that even if he went forward, there shouldn't be much danger.

His strength is certainly inferior to Lu Fusheng's, but in terms of survival ability, Lu Fusheng is far inferior to him.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Zhengshan decided that he should first try to see if he could use the Azure Light Sword to severely injure the evil spirit.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan activated the Azure Sword once again.

In mid-air, Lu Fusheng flicked his spear, and a flame ten feet high instantly ignited at the tip, like a roaring fire dragon, carrying rolling heat waves as it swept towards the evil spirit.

The evil spirit let out a roar like a beast, and swung its halberd, solidified from yin energy, horizontally. The halberd blade collided with the spear tip, producing a loud bang, like the ringing of a great bell, which shook the surrounding air violently.

Flames and yin energy intertwined and collided, instantly bursting forth with intense light, illuminating the dim night sky with flickering brightness.

This collision had happened countless times before, but each time, Lu Fusheng would be knocked back more than ten feet. This time was no exception, and Lu Fusheng was knocked back again.

However, unlike before, the evil spirit would always pounce on him when he was knocked back, but this time the evil spirit did not pounce. Instead, it let out another violent roar.

roar~~
The yin energy surged, and a pair of scarlet eyes were filled with madness as the halberd was swung incessantly, seemingly attacking something.

Lu Fusheng was slightly taken aback, his eyes narrowed, and he then noticed that there was a thin stream of light around the evil spirit. The light was extremely fast, and it pierced through the evil spirit's body with a whoosh.

The damage wasn't great, but the insult was extremely strong, enraging the evil spirit.

Hiding in the distance, Yang Zhengshan's face was ashen. Damn it, his prized Azure Light Sword was completely useless against this evil spirit.

It's not entirely useless; at the very least, it can distract this stupid guy for a moment, giving Lu Fusheng some breathing room.

Lu Fusheng was only stunned for a moment, and the next moment he suddenly attacked again.

"Haha, what a great opportunity! Rise up! Crimson Dragon Shakes the Mountain!"

He shot out with tremendous force, the fire dragon coiled around his spear appearing almost real, its mouth gaping open to bite at the demon's head. The demon parried with its halberd, and the instant the halberd blade collided with the spear tip, a shockwave of ice and fire tore through the night sky, making the pale moon appear even more eerie.

With this attack, the demon's head exploded like a watermelon, and flames engulfed its upper body, as if trying to burn it to ashes.

However, before the flames had even died down, another violent roar rang out.

The shattered head solidified again, the raging flames were once again dispelled by the Yin energy, and the gloomy night sky was once again obscured by the dark tide. This time, the Yin energy was even thicker, turning the pale moon into a faint glow.

Seeing this, Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath, knowing that he would have no choice but to reveal his trump card today.

Faced with such a wicked demon, he still had one trump card: the Azure Thunder Pearl!
The Nine Heavens Wood Divine Thunder, condensing the Qi of the Nine Heavens Wood Element, transforms into a blue thunder pillar, specifically designed to destroy evil spirits and filth.

Although the Qinghua Thunder Pearl is not the Nine Heavens Wood Divine Thunder, it still possesses a small portion of the power of the Wood Divine Thunder and has the power to ward off evil.
