Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 104 A Worthy Opponent

But can this be considered special? Probably not. After all, if this is considered special, then the entire Lu family has far too many special people.

Speaking of future prospects, not to mention Lu Changfeng's generation, even his contemporaries Lu Xuanhong and Lu Xuanshan should go further than Lu Yang.

Therefore, Lu Guchu could only shake his head in response to Elder Fan's question.

Is he going up?

Lu Yang looked around, recalling the day the Fang family came to cause trouble at the Lu family. On that day, the other clansmen also dispersed in the same way.

"Xuan Yang, you know I don't fight female cultivators, so you'll have to do it yourself this time. I don't think that female cultivator's aura is too strong; she shouldn't be a match for you."

Lu Xuanshan spoke, his eyes filled with apology, as if he was apologizing for having left Lu Yang's side with the others.

Last time, Lu Yang stood firmly by his side.

And then there's Lu Yunzhe, who even gave Lu Yang a thumbs-up, looking like he believed in him, but his expression was incredibly smug.

It seems that his relationship with Lu Yunzhe has improved since their last conversation.

Could it be that like attracts like?

"It's you."

Within the life-and-death pact, the priestess's voice rang out, leaving Lu Yang with no choice but to go on stage. After all, so many people were watching, and if he didn't go on stage, everyone would think he was afraid of the priestess.

In fact, the priestess's cultivation level was obvious to Lu Yang.

He's at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which isn't too high. As things stand, it's like they're bullying him. However, the Lu family all know that Lu Yang has sword skills. Even if he can't beat them, he won't be killed. So they all look at Lu Yang with support.

It was just a little strange. Although Lu Yang couldn't quite put his finger on it, his cultivation of spirit refinement had improved, but it hadn't progressed to the point where he could see all things at a glance.

But can he really kill this priestess?

Lu Yang always felt that this battle was somewhat unequal. Even the High Priest of Wind Breath could not stop the priestess's actions, which showed how special her status was.

She might be the granddaughter or daughter of the High Priest of Wind Breath, or even a relative of some ancestor like the Priest of Gods.

If that's the case, Lu Yang has gone to extremes, and the retaliation will likely come faster than the urge to urinate.

Ugh!

With a sigh, Lu Yang stepped into the Life and Death Contract on the wind. He didn't want to show off, but the circumstances didn't allow it.

"please!"

After Lu Yang stepped onto the stage, he held the Azure Cang Sword in his hand and extended the sword forward in a gesture of invitation. However, before he could finish the gesture, Lu Yang had already made his move.

laugh!

One of the Gu worms was struck by Lu Yang's sword energy and fell to the ground, making Lu Yang's teeth ache.

"Despicable! They actually launched a sneak attack."

"Same to you."

In response to Lu Yang's words, the priestess smiled and replied, her tone even showing a hint of appreciation.

The moment Lu Yang bent down, the priestess launched a surprise attack. Lu Yang, who appeared to be bowing and saying "please," was actually preparing to strike. The two, who were both skilled in sneak attacks, met each other.

The first round can be described as a draw.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two attacked again. A golden light flashed around the priestess, and with Lu Yang's sharp eyesight, he immediately saw a Gu worm land on the priestess's chest and be activated by her.

As the Gu worm was activated, Lu Yang's sword also slowed down instantly.

To die!

Lu Yang was startled when he realized he had suddenly slowed down. What kind of witchcraft was this?!

No, he was a priest from the Southern Barbarians, and he practiced witchcraft.

The priestess opposite me looks gentle and weak, but she has quite a lot of combat experience.

As soon as the golden light Gu worm was activated, another Gu worm followed closely behind.

Lu Yang was not familiar with the Gu worm techniques of the Southern Barbarians, let alone the types of Gu worms.

But Lu Yang knew what danger tasted like.

A flash of blue light appeared, and blades from all directions slashed towards Lu Yang, perfectly timed in conjunction with the golden Gu worms.

If it were an ordinary Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator, this one move would have turned him into minced meat.

Everyone outside the life-and-death pact was startled. Lu Xuanshan regretted it; he had misjudged the situation. The priestess opposite him was actually so powerful.

Lu Yang was on the verge of death. His first instinct was to save people, but then he realized that he had been forced back before he could even get close to the life-and-death contract.

On the stage, Lu Changfeng sat up abruptly. This was his only successor.

At this moment, the fists of the Lu family members seemed to clench tightly, but as the High Priest Fengxi watched, almost all of their movements were instantly suppressed, and even Lu Changfeng could not get close to the Life and Death Contract.

Through the eyes of High Priest Fengxi, the other high priests in the Sacrificial Temple couldn't help but shake their heads.

"Although the Holy Maiden has only just begun to receive divine grace, in terms of inspiration, she is stronger than us high priests. Moreover, with divine grace, she has an almost divination-like intuition about certain things."

The fact that the Holy Maiden has found this young cultivator from the Lu family is probably not without reason, but this young cultivator from the Lu family really doesn't seem to have anything special about him.

The other high priests nodded in agreement. Lu Yang looked quite ordinary, but perhaps he was considered an outstanding cultivator among his contemporaries.

But that's just good; even the Lu family might not be ranked first, let alone the other major sects.

They wouldn't even glance at such a minor cultivator; Lu Yang was only noticed by them because of the priestess.

"no."

The chief priest stared at Lu Yang for a moment, then shook his head in denial.

Their priests have their own methods to find the person who can block the transmission of divine power, unless that person's cultivation is stronger than theirs, or they have some heaven-defying means to shield their senses.

But how could that be? There might be such powerful beings in Tiannan, but those powerful beings could be in Qingyun Sect, Hanshan Temple, or Xuanqing Sword Sect, but they could never be in the Lu family.

So, the saintess probably just thought it would be fun and wanted to go up and have some fun.

boom!

Seeing Lu Yang engulfed by the blue blade, the priestess was somewhat disappointed. The blade contained venom and stagnant water; even a single drop from it would be fatal to a Qi Refining cultivator.

Moreover, being directly submerged, Lu Yang is basically already sentenced to death.

just.

Sword Breathing: A Complete Thunderclap from Flat Ground.

A sword suddenly appeared behind her, and the priestess, with her exceptional intuition, immediately went on high alert, almost instinctively summoning another Gu worm for defense.

but.

The golden light disappeared, and the golden Gu worm split in two, falling to the ground. It seemed to still be carrying lightning, its flesh charred black by the electricity, and it rolled around.

"Slowing Gu!"

A Gu worm appeared behind the priestess, transforming into a layer of black mist that protected her.

The priestess was confident in dealing with the black Gu worm; however, the enemy was too cunning, as their target wasn't her, but rather her Slowing Gu worm.

Lu Yang's attack came too fast; the priestess didn't have time to retract the Slowing Gu and was directly hit.

Looking at the Slowing Gu on the ground, which was beyond dead, the priestess felt heartbroken and felt as if she could not breathe.

The playfulness in his eyes had vanished, replaced by waves of anger.

Lu Yang struck successfully and retreated immediately without pausing.

boom!

The black mist exploded, about to engulf Lu Yang, but Lu Yang, who had fled thousands of miles away, managed to dodge it perfectly.

The priestess was even angrier; she was about to get serious!

One, two, three, four — ten.

With ten Gu worms hanging on their bodies, Lu Gu Chu and High Priest Feng Xi both changed their expressions.

The High Priest of Wind Breath's expression changed because Lu Yang's move had truly startled him. He hadn't expected Lu Yang to possess such a skillful escape technique. If that move had struck the priestess, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.

Lu Guchu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the priestess possessed so many Gu worms, but his mood became completely serious.

The priests of the Southern Barbarians practiced the art of Gu poison. Although this art was mysterious, Lu Guchu, as their neighbor, was quite familiar with it.

Generally speaking, a Qi Refining Priest can only control one Gu worm, and with some special opportunities, they can control up to three Gu worms.

Firstly, they cannot afford to feed them; secondly, controlling the Gu worms requires spiritual awareness, and if their spiritual strength is insufficient, forcibly controlling them will only result in being devoured and killed by the Gu worms.

Even a Foundation Establishment Priest can only control a maximum of six Gu worms.

This priestess is something else. She's only a Qi Refining level priestess, and her aura isn't even at the peak of Qi Refining yet, but she's already using three Gu worms in a row.

Now ten have appeared in a row, and one of them died just now, so there are now eleven.

Even the High Priestess of Wind's Breath doesn't have such abilities, so what exactly is this priestess's identity?

Even the daughter of the chief priest of the Southern Barbarians could not possess such talent!

Thinking of this, Lu Guchu and Elder Fan exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of killing intent in each other's eyes. Although the killing intent was faint, it was still sensed by High Priest Fengxi, who was not far from Lu Guchu.

My dear lady, she truly doesn't know what death is!

"Alright, let's call it a tie."

High Priest Fengxi spoke first, fearing that if they stayed any longer, Lu Guchu and Elder Fan would risk keeping them there.

Lu Guchu is one thing, he probably wouldn't have the guts, but if Qingyun Sect is behind her, that's a different story. Once the Holy Maiden's identity is exposed, Qingyun Sect will probably intervene directly.

At that time, their millennia-long plan of the southern barbarians will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, High Priest Fengxi dared not delay any longer and quickly spoke.

Within the life-and-death pact, although the priestess had many Gu worms, Lu Yang actually felt that the danger was greatly reduced. After all, without the slowing Gu, even if the priestess had many other Gu worms, Lu Yang could avoid them.

Golden Light Escape and Wind Message were used to stomp around with great gusto.

Lu Yang even thought about finding an opening to kill another Gu worm of hers. It's just ten Gu worms. After he kills them all, this priestess will be at his mercy!

Yes, the opportunity has arrived.

Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he was about to make a move, while the priestess seemed to sense something and thought to herself that Lu Yang had finally taken the bait.

But then, the life-and-death pact suddenly opened.

Ah!

Lu Yang suddenly stopped, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't it a life-and-death contract? The Great Ancestor killed Feng Xi?

Only when Lu Yang got closer did he realize that it was Feng Xi who had come over and taken the priestess away.

Lu Guchu and Elder Fan, though eager to take action, could only refrain from doing so upon sensing the Nascent Soul aura emanating from High Priest Fengxi.

The priestess is important, but we can't just go up and take someone away while a potential Nascent Soul level high priest might appear; people will die.

This only made Lu Guchu and Elder Fan even more curious about the priestess's identity.

This must be a big fish.

Lu Guchu looked at Elder Fan, who immediately nodded, "I will begin the investigation as soon as I get back."

Elder Fan's tone was tinged with excitement. Someone who could make even the chief priest of the Southern Barbarians break the rules must be a big fish.

Although the Qingyun Sect doesn't care much about the war in the Southern Continent, it becomes a completely different story when it involves cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage.

If Elder Fan can figure out what happened, it will be a great achievement.

"You're something else, kid! That powerful priestess didn't even kill you!"

Seeing the life-and-death contract being withdrawn, Lu Xuanshan quickly came to Lu Yang's side and punched him twice, his face filled with excitement. He almost thought that he and Lu Yang were about to be separated by death.

Lu Yunzhe was somewhat surprised when he recalled Lu Yang's sword strike from earlier!

The power of that sword strike actually borrowed a trace of lightning.

Unlike the lightning-attribute spiritual energy, this is pure lightning, the most yang and powerful existence in nature.

And it was too fast; even he didn't realize how Lu Yang appeared behind the priestess.

Simple escape techniques would probably be difficult to achieve this, since with the Slowing Gu, even if Lu Yang used escape techniques, he would be slowed down to the level of movement techniques.

It was too fast, both fast and powerful. Even he, in the same realm, wouldn't dare say he could reliably block this sword strike, let alone one that appeared so suddenly.

Even with his current level of skill, taking this blow would probably leave him covered in bruises, perhaps here and there.

The basic thirty-six sword techniques have been mastered! The thunderclap from a clear sky has been completed!

So that Thunderclap Sword Technique is that powerful?

Lu Yunzhe suddenly regretted not having Lu Changfeng teach him the Thunderclap Sword Technique. The main reason was that he had a more powerful sword lineage, and he felt it would be a waste to learn from a half-baked swordsman like Lu Changfeng.

Furthermore, the Thunderclap Sword Technique was clearly designed for those with lightning-attribute spiritual roots.

He has neither a lightning spiritual root nor cultivates lightning-attribute techniques, so learning this would be more than just a waste of effort.

But now that I see it, I underestimated Lu Changfeng. His teaching skills are so amazing. Lu Yang has only been learning the Thunderclap Sword Technique for a short time, yet he has already reached such a level!

"Second brother, I think you should be put in charge of the clan's training program from now on. Your ability to teach disciples is just too amazing."

Hearing Lu Changkong's words, Lu Changfeng was also a little confused. Was this child really taught by him? Was his progress a little too fast?

The first time I taught, it didn't take long for him to learn the basic Thirty-Six Sword Techniques.

On the second instruction, Lu Yang directly mastered the Thirty-Six Sword Techniques.

Now, upon seeing him again, Lu Yang had actually mastered the Thirty-Six Basic Sword Techniques, and even the Thunderclap from Flat Ground technique. This was no longer the case with Lu Yang, who had only grasped a few sword shadows and learned a hybrid but incoherent style. He had clearly mastered some of the essence and could borrow the power of thunder from heaven and earth.

So he's that good at teaching his apprentices?
