He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

"A mere outer disciple dares to attack an inner disciple?"

"Lu Changsheng, you're asking for death!!"

Faced with Lu Changsheng charging towards him, Jiang Fan was so angry he was about to explode. He immediately manipulated his flying sword and charged towards Lu Changsheng as well.

"This is outrageous!"

"This is outrageous!!"

Having failed to coerce or bribe them, these inner disciples were all prepared to give up, but Lu Changsheng dared not let them leave?

Is this a joke?

A lion hunts a rabbit.

The mighty lion was about to let the rabbit go, but this foolish rabbit dared to provoke the lion instead?

How could I possibly tolerate this?!

"Dare to provoke Senior Brother Jiang? You're courting death!"

"Hmph! He's getting old and senile!"

"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Jiang Fan locked in combat, Luo Shuihua and the other two disciples sneered and drew their swords, ready to rush up and attack Lu Changsheng. But then, an extremely terrifying power suddenly erupted from behind them!

"Your opponent is me, the princess! Where do you think you're going?!"

With a loud bang, a blooming red lotus flower suddenly appeared beneath the feet of the three inner disciples, including Luo Shuihua. The petals closed and overlapped, completely enveloping their bodies.

Princess Taiping's aura surged instantly, and her cultivation level jumped from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the tenth level, then broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in an instant, and continued to rise rapidly!

Foundation Establishment Level 1!

Foundation Establishment Level Two!

Foundation Establishment Level Three!

.......

Only when his cultivation level reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment did the immense power within his body finally stabilize.

"What kind of bizarre technique is this? It can break through seven realms in an instant!"

"His cultivation level has surpassed ours? Unbelievable!"

"Don't panic. These kinds of secret techniques usually don't last long and cause irreversible damage to the body. We just need to keep her occupied until Senior Brother Jiang Fan finishes off that old guy, then he'll come to our aid!"

Just as Luo Shuihua and the other two had shattered the red lotus that had trapped them, Princess Taiping had already charged at them with her sword.

Crimson Lotus Sword Qi!

With each strike of the sword, dozens of tiny red lotus flowers would appear on the blade, swirling rapidly around Luo Shuihua and the other two inner disciples.

These red lotuses are formed from extremely sharp sword energy. If you are not careful, your Taoist robe will be torn apart, your skin will be cut, and your flesh will be pierced by the sword energy.

Even when facing three opponents alone, Princess Taiping still held the upper hand.

"The elder is right, in this life, what we fight for is our pride!"

"Constantly yielding! Constantly suffering! Constantly hindered!"

With a single sword strike piercing Luo Shuihua's shoulder blade, Princess Taiping avenged the earlier blow. Her robes fluttered, her hair flowed freely, and her delicate face was now brimming with youthful vigor and heroic spirit.

"Then why would this princess bother cultivating immortality?!"

......

"Yama's Palm, die!"

Jiang Fan held a sword in his right hand and turned his left hand into a palm, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Lu Changsheng in front of him.

As the flying swords clashed, a palm strike landed directly on Lu Changsheng's chest. The violent spiritual energy then surged through the palm, frantically invading Lu Changsheng's body and knocking him back dozens of meters away.

With his Foundation Establishment Level 5 cultivation and the Foundation Establishment technique "Yama Palm," even other Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be able to withstand him, let alone Lu Changsheng, who was only at the Qi Refining stage.

"Hmph! This girl was able to improve her cultivation so much in such a short time; she must have mastered some powerful secret technique!"

"Once I capture her, I'll use the Soul Searching Technique to extract that secret method, and I'll surely be able to ascend to the Xuanhuang Ranking and distinguish myself in the Inner Immortal Academy!"

Jiang Fan, his face grim, gripped his long sword and walked step by step toward Princess Taiping, who was locked in combat with Luo Shuihua and the other two.

He never expected that his original plan to extort 10,000 merit points would result in this unexpected gain.

As for Lu Changsheng?

A little old man in the Qi Refining stage.

If you were hit by his Yama's Palm, you would be severely injured even if you didn't die, and you wouldn't have the strength to fight back.

It should be known that the Yama Palm is extremely domineering and contains hidden power. Once it enters the body, it will continuously damage the internal meridians and injure the internal organs.

"Cough cough! Cough cough!!"

But Jiang Fan had only taken two steps forward when he heard a series of familiar coughs behind him.

Turning around abruptly, she discovered that Lu Changsheng had not only stood up, but was also completely unharmed, with not a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth; all that remained was...

The hem of her clothes was slightly dirty.

"Ahem! It seems I've been underestimated!"

Lu Changsheng pounded his chest. His hunched figure swayed precariously in the wind, like a flickering candle, swaying but never going out.

"The old man, he's still alive?"

Jiang Fan stared at Lu Changsheng in disbelief, his heart filled with rage, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He doesn't understand.

It's clearly just a Qi Refining stage.

He's clearly just an old codger nearing the end of his life.

I could easily crush it with just one hand.

But why...?

Why is Lu Changsheng still able to stand up?!

"If you're not dead, why not just lie on the ground and pretend to be dead? Why did you have to stand up?"

"Why insist on being strong? Why pretend to be a hero?"

Jiang Fan took a deep breath, frantically channeling his spiritual energy into the flying sword in his hand; he had already decided to kill.

"You old codger, how old are you? Still trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you just because you're in the Inner Immortal Academy...?"

boom! !

Before Jiang Fan could finish speaking, his entire body suddenly flew up.

Boom!!

After flying more than ten meters away, it crashed heavily into the light barrier formed by the array, creating a small crater in the ground.

"Lu Changsheng, what are you doing...?"

Jiang Fan, his head bleeding profusely, struggled to his feet. He wiped his blood-soaked eyes and looked in Lu Changsheng's direction.

It was a mistake not to look, but once I saw it, I was so scared that I couldn't even speak.

Lu Changsheng, with his hunched back and white hair, walked towards me step by step, wielding a black cauldron that was more than ten meters tall.

He was clearly a dying old man, yet he swung a giant cauldron, over ten meters long, to smash people... This...

This scene...

Such a stark contrast!

The visual impact is incredible! Absolutely incredible!

"You think you can play the hero and save the damsel in distress with just a broken cauldron?"

"I'm going to tell you today! The difference in realms is an insurmountable chasm!"

Jiang Fan poured his spiritual energy back into the flying sword, unleashing the terrifying power of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. At this moment, he no longer held back, even if it meant accidentally killing Lu Changsheng!

A disciple from an outer sect who is nearing the end of his life will simply die.

"Crimson Flame Sword, Wind and Fire Dragon Slayer!"

Wind and fire elemental powers appeared simultaneously, with fire aiding wind and wind fueling fire.

The two spiritual powers complement each other.

Jiang Fan wielded the Crimson Flame Sword, bathed in scorching flames, and struck directly at the massive body of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, intending to shatter it in one blow.

"It's just a minor Qi Refining stage magic weapon, how could it withstand my Wind and Fire Dragon Snarl?"

"My Crimson Flame Sword is a top-grade flying sword for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!!"

"Break it!!"

boom! !

The Crimson Flame Sword and the Heavenly Cauldron clashed instantly, their flames extinguished, and the sound of shattering echoed all around.

puff! !

Before Jiang Fan could examine the wound properly, he spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood, severely damaging his vital energy.

Because the Crimson Flame Sword was its natal magic weapon, which was connected to its life, it shattered into two pieces the moment it collided with the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, fell to the ground, and lost all its spiritual power.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

"Die, you old man!"

With a deafening roar, Lu Changsheng swung the massive cauldron, which was over ten meters long, and slammed Jiang Fan to the ground like a fly, creating a deep crater.

joke!

Using the Devouring Heaven Cauldron as a Qi Refining stage magic weapon, and then using the Foundation Establishment stage Crimson Flame Sword to fight it head-on?

Lu Changsheng had to admit, he admired this idiot's audacity!

Shouldering the Devouring Cauldron, Lu Changsheng stepped over Jiang Fan's body, crossed the deep pit, and walked step by step toward the others who were locked in combat.

Princess Taiping unlocked part of the lotus seal, and her cultivation level soared from the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. In the instant of the exchange, she avenged Luo Shuihua's palm strike, piercing through her shoulder blade with a sword and knocking her into a coma with serious injuries.

He is currently engaged in a fierce battle with two other inner disciples, and judging from his posture, victory is only a matter of time.

Now that Lu Changsheng has arrived, victory is not just a matter of time, but of the moment! Immediately! Right now!!

boom!

He swung the giant cauldron, which was over ten meters long, and knocked an inner disciple to the ground unconscious with a single blow.

boom! !

Before the opponent could react, he struck again, knocking the last inner disciple to the ground and ending the battle.

Even without using any of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron's supernatural powers or abilities, its sturdy cauldron body alone is enough to...

One force can overcome all laws!

"Senior, you..."

Princess Taiping pouted, looking at Lu Changsheng with disbelief. She had risked being devoured by the lotus seal to unlock part of it in exchange for powerful strength.

Can......

Of the four Foundation Establishment stage inner disciples, she only defeated one; the other three were defeated by Lu Changsheng.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng was only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage and was an old man with depleted Qi and blood.

this......

It’s incredible!

"What are you standing there for?"

Lu Changsheng put away the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, frowned as he looked at Princess Taiping, who was standing to the side in a daze:

"Let's hurry up and grab those guys' storage bags; we can't have come all this way for nothing!"

"Oh~ Oh~"

Princess Taiping pouted, smiled sweetly, and shook her little head like a rattle drum.

After obtaining the Qiankun bags of Jiang Fan and the other four inner disciples, Lu Changsheng removed the Micro Dust Guardian Array and left the Inner Immortal Academy with Princess Taiping, returning to the small courtyard where they lived in the Outer Immortal Academy.

Before leaving, Lu Changsheng looked around. Although there was a micro-dust protective array, he still felt as if someone was watching him from the shadows.

My hair stood on end, and I knew I should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Swish! !

The instant Lu Changsheng left, a figure in pure white appeared on a sword.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her skin like solidified cream, and her eyes were as cold as ice, like a fairy who did not eat the food of this world, aloof and detached from worldly affairs.

With just a slight lift of her jade hand, the chilling sword energy silenced the surrounding gale.

"Lu Changsheng, I know you are extraordinary to be able to refine such a high-grade Qingling Pill!"

"Without establishing my foundation, I cannot refine the pills I need..."

As the woman muttered to herself, Jiang Fan, Luo Shuihua, and the other three, who had been unconscious, slowly awoke.

Upon seeing the woman before them, they instantly turned deathly pale, then stood up in unison and bowed respectfully to her.

"We...we have met Senior Sister Murong. We..."

Swish! !

With a flick of her hand, the woman sent Jiang Fan and the other three inner disciples sprawling to the ground, unconscious once more.

Four Foundation Establishment disciples couldn't even withstand a single move from this woman.

"Lu Changsheng, don't keep me waiting too long... too long..."

......

"Snow White, protect me!"

Back in the courtyard, Lu Changsheng set up an array inside the house while saying to Princess Taiping beside him:

"I'm about to break through to a higher realm!!"
