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

"That old bastard has finally arrived!"

Before Mu Feng could speak...

Lu Changsheng then craned his neck and began shouting and cursing.

As the saying goes, whether you stick your head out or not, you'll still get stabbed.

Judging from the way things are going today, even if I kneel down and beg for mercy, this old bastard won't show any leniency.

Since that's the case, why be a coward?

"You, surnamed Mu, know perfectly well why your son died!"

"You actually dare to come looking for trouble with me today? Logically speaking, you're a few years younger than me. However, there's a strict hierarchy in the sect. Out of respect, I'll call you Elder. But if you don't, you're nothing but a nobody!"

In mid-air, Mu Feng trembled with rage.

He formed a sword-like gesture with both hands, pointed it directly at Lu Changsheng, and said through gritted teeth:

"Shut up! You old scoundrel!"

"My son was sent out by the sect to suppress bandits, but you colluded with evil cultivators, set an ambush, and caused his death!"

"Today, I will use the power of my Golden Elixir to personally tear your soul apart and offer it as a sacrifice to my son's spirit in heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sneer.

That old bastard is truly shameless!

Even at a point like this, they're still trying to turn the tables.

"Heh, suppressing bandits?"

"You can fool others with this kind of nonsense, but don't fool yourself!"

"Don't you know what kind of bastard your son is?"

"Mu Feng, you've failed in your duty to raise your son properly, yet you dare to come here and cause trouble? Do you really think I'm made of clay?"

Lu Changsheng's every word was a precise landmine.

Mu Feng, who has a short temper, could no longer suppress his anger.

He no longer cared about his status and suddenly clasped his hands together.

A pitch-black palm print descended from the sky.

Lu Changsheng's pupils contracted.

Nine Netherworld Soul-Splitting Palm.

Damn it, this old bastard unleashed a full-force attack from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Block? How do you block?

With a loud bang.

The ground collapsed more than three feet.

The air was shattered inch by inch by the pressure of the palm strike!

Before the palm strike even landed, the power had already arrived!

Lu Changsheng felt as if his internal organs had been struck by a giant hammer.

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and blood welled up in his mouth.

You have to understand, he hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so how could he possibly withstand a killing move from a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator?

"Pah, you bastard, you really went all out!"

Lu Changsheng cursed under his breath.

They dared not slack off in the slightest.

At the critical moment, he suddenly pulled out a jade talisman from his robes.

Without a doubt, this thing was also left behind by Master Ji Jiufeng.

Previously, without any cultivation, I couldn't see anything special about this thing.

But now I realize that Ji Jiufeng is really willing to invest in herself!

For example, the jade talisman she gave away casually before.

I originally thought it was just a decoration.

But later I discovered that there was a lot more to this thing than meets the eye.

It contains three "Mysterious Yang Body Protection Mantras".

Once activated, it can block a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator.

It was only after he nearly lost his life at Tongtian Peak that Lu Changsheng remembered the things Ji Jiufeng had given him.

If we don't use it now, when will we?

"rise!"

Driven by Lu Changsheng's spiritual power.

The talisman shattered instantly.

The next second, a crimson-gold light shield suddenly burst open!

boom!!

Immediately afterwards, the Nine Nether Soul-Splitting Palm slammed heavily onto the light barrier.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled.

The light shield also directly generated violent fluctuations.

Before long, cracks spread like a spider web.

Breathe!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

Three breaths later.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the crimson-gold light shield shattered completely.

Although Lu Changsheng was old, he was still quick-witted and agile.

He used the momentum to roll over, barely avoiding the center of the palm strike.

But the aftershock still sent him flying several meters.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Lu Changsheng spat out a mouthful of blood and then patted the dust off his body.

He looked at Mu Feng with an almost defiant gaze.

"What? Is that all you've got?!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng's forehead veins bulged instantly.

He stared intently at Lu Changsheng and said:

"You old bastard, let's see how long you can keep struggling in your death throes!"

"Today I'll show you that your little tricks are nothing but a joke in front of a Golden Core cultivator!"

Before he finished speaking, he formed another hand seal.

In an instant, the black mist condensed into nine chains.

There were a few splashing sounds.

Chains fell from the void.

The chain descended at an incredibly fast speed, only pausing in mid-air for a brief moment.

The next instant, with a whoosh.

The chain spiraled upwards, heading straight for Lu Changsheng's limbs, neck, and dantian.

This is Mu Feng's unique supernatural power, the Nine Nether Soul Binding Chain.

It specifically locks the spiritual veins and imprisons the soul!

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng flipped his hand and threw out another small silver bell.

"Ding!"

The bell tolled clearly, and a visible ring of sound waves rippled outwards.

Temporarily shake off the chains.

Without a doubt, this is also a magic weapon left behind by Ji Jiufeng.

The Soul-Suppressing Bell!

This item can break evil spells, but it obviously won't last long against a Golden Core cultivator.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Lu Changsheng's cultivation level being too low.

At this moment, he looked at the arrogant Mu Feng and spoke again:

"Old man, your son was just as arrogant before he died."

"And the result? I ended his life with a single sword strike!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng's eyes turned bloodshot, and he was consumed by rage.

"Shut up!! Today I'll make you wish you were dead!"

After he roared, the Nine Nether Chains struck again.

No matter how generous Ji Jiufeng is, there are still a limited number of magical treasures suitable for Lu Changsheng to use.

At this point, they had reached a dead end.

Therefore, he had no way to avoid the Nine Nether Chains.

The next instant, the nine chains wrapped around him tightly like venomous snakes.

"Ugh!"

The spiritual veins were locked, and the soul was suppressed.

Lu Changsheng suddenly felt excruciating pain all over his body; the treasures left by his master were almost exhausted.

At this point, there were no more cards left to play.

unless……

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"Open the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron!"

hum!

Deep within his dantian, the long-silent ancient bronze cauldron suddenly trembled, and the vortex at its mouth abruptly opened!

The Devouring Heaven Cauldron has not yet awakened, but it has been nourished by spirit stones during this period.

There are already faint signs of waking up.

But this forceful action might damage Lao Tun's foundation.

Whether he will be able to wake up by then is probably unknown.

But for Lu Changsheng, how could he care about so much right now?

If he couldn't even save his own life, then Lao Tun would have even less hope.

Looking around, the Devouring Cauldron, with its energy nearly depleted, had dimmed its light.

The patterns on it were almost gone, clearly indicating that its previous devouring of the Yin Poison Spider had pushed it to its limit.

Even so, the Devouring Cauldron is still the Devouring Cauldron!

"What?!"

Mu Feng's expression changed drastically, because he had already sensed the power emanating from Lu Changsheng's body.

He instinctively wanted to back down, but it was too late.

Suddenly, the Devouring Cauldron floating above Lu Changsheng's head expanded its mouth like a black hole, creating a vortex.

It then enveloped the entire courtyard.

Although Mu Feng was a Golden Core cultivator, his cultivation was suppressed by 30% because he was inside the "Spirit-Sealing Heaven Formation" and could not draw on the spiritual energy from the outside world.

So under that enormous suction force, he was actually pulled towards the mouth of the cauldron!

"No! This is impossible! How could an outer disciple like you possibly wield such a forbidden artifact?!"
