A Mortal's Supporting Character's Different Kind of Cultivation

Before a cup of tea had been brewed, Lu Yunfeng opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

Lu Yunfeng looked up at the fire and wind tornado above his head; it was much thinner than before. Explosions continued to come from outside, and with each explosion, the fire and wind tornado shrank further.

Looking at the gray-brown mist at the top, Lu Yunfeng took out a wooden box wrapped in a talisman from his storage bag. The wooden box was pitted and uneven. Lu Yunfeng formed a hand seal to open the talisman, and a sharp, ancient aura rushed out. He immediately saw a talisman engraved with a blood-red long halberd in the wooden box - the Broken Earth Halberd.

Lu Yunfeng looked at the talisman, then immediately sat cross-legged and began chanting incantations.

Zhang Kuang, frustrated by his inability to break through, suddenly sensed a sharp, ancient aura emanating from the fire tornado. He was shocked. "What kind of magic weapon is this? It doesn't look like the ice spike-like artifact Lu Sheng described that killed my brother. Could Lu Sheng have lied to me? No, is this kid's trump card?" Zhang Kuang's expression shifted between anger and fear as he watched the aura within the tornado grow stronger. He cried out in terror, "This is a talisman! You actually possess a talisman!" With that, Zhang Kuang immediately withdrew, attaching a lightness talisman to his body before fleeing into the surrounding woods without looking back.

"Hmph, it's too late to run now." With that, Lu Yunfeng, his face pale, lifted the wooden box with both hands, and the talisman in the box immediately floated into the air. The surrounding spiritual energy surged into the talisman, making it as bright as a sun. The surrounding gray-brown mist could not get in, forming a vacuum zone around the sun.

Suddenly, a long halberd covered with ancient patterns appeared in the talisman and shot through the air, easily slicing through the gray-brown mist. Immediately, Lu Yunfeng's divine sense followed the halberd out of the Five Poisons Formation. The halberd stung Lu Yunfeng's divine sense, but he endured the discomfort and looked outside. Lu Yunfeng discovered that Zhang Kuang had already used a lightness talisman to prepare to escape. He immediately controlled the halberd to make a sharp U-turn and rushed towards Zhang Kuang.

Zhang Kuang, seeing the enormous ancient weapon hurtling towards him, turned pale with fright. He let out a strange cry and released a multitude of poisonous creatures. He didn't even hesitate to throw his top-tier magic weapon, the emerald green cone, backwards. He then fled into the dense forest without looking back.

The Broken Ground Spear flew towards Zhang Kuang, cutting through all the poisonous creatures he released like slicing tofu. Its speed did not decrease as it flew towards Zhang Kuang. Under Lu Yunfeng's control, he only smashed the small green cone to the ground before continuing towards Zhang Kuang. Before Zhang Kuang had run far, the Broken Ground Spear burst through his chest, smashing his upper body to pieces. Its momentum did not decrease as it flew towards a tree with a female body.

The tree was immediately smashed to pieces, and a young man in a Taoist robe jumped out of the tree. He was the Taoist from the Qingxu Sect who had been preparing to ambush Lu Yunfeng in the valley. Instead of leaving, he hid nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike and do his dirty work.

With its master dead, the Five Poisons Formation scattered and fled, revealing the Fire Tornado within. The tornado, only a few feet in size, was pitiful at this point and immediately disintegrated, exposing Lu Yunfeng inside. Lu Yunfeng had already completed his power-up, and with the Ice Cone Talisman and Ice Soul Pearl, he charged towards the Qingxu Sect Taoists.

The Taoist priest used a top-tier tortoise-shell-shaped magic artifact to block the exhausted Earth-Splitting Talisman Treasure, but the tortoise shell itself shattered. Before he could even catch his breath, an ice spike filled with extreme cold hurtled towards him.

The Taoist priest's face fell, and he immediately activated a small black jade umbrella shaped like a dragon above his head. The umbrella then showered down golden light, covering the Taoist priest's entire body.

The ice spike struck the golden light, shattering it and immediately trapping the umbrella and the Taoist priest within the ice. The Taoist priest hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, let's talk this out. Don't fight, don't fight! I can apologize. Consider this pearl umbrella a token of my apology." The Taoist priest's face turned pale.

"Alright, remove your protection, hand over the treasure umbrella, and get out of here." As he spoke, Lu Yunfeng's right index finger gleamed black, and immediately a black demonic energy burst forth from his fingertip, heading towards the Taoist priest—it was the Black Demon Finger.

After speaking, the Taoist priest's body lit up, and he took out an ancient longsword from his storage bag, its surface shimmering with mysterious runes. The Taoist priest immediately formed a hand seal with one hand, casting several spells at the longsword, while using his other hand to activate the Pearl Umbrella to break through the ice layer and envelop the Ice Soul Pearl. Still not giving up, he headed towards the Broken Earth Halberd Talisman Treasure on the ground, which had lost its spiritual power, intending to take this treasure into his possession as well.

The Taoist priest was delighted as he put the Earth-Severing Talisman into the Pearl Umbrella, preparing to retrieve it and flee. Suddenly, the ground exploded, and a pitch-black hand, radiating demonic energy, immediately seized the Pearl Umbrella. A struggle ensued.

Upon realizing he couldn't retrieve the pearl umbrella, the Taoist priest immediately gave up and focused all his energy on activating the ancient longsword. After a series of incantations, the ancient longsword immediately shone with a deep green light and headed towards the Black Demon Finger, while he himself generated a water-attribute shield and gracefully retreated.

The Taoist priest stared intently at the longsword that had broken through the Black Demon Finger as it headed towards Lu Yunfeng. Lu Yunfeng remained motionless as the longsword pierced through him, instantly turning him into demonic energy and dissipating. Only his bamboo hat remained on the ground.

The Taoist's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm. He immediately prepared to recall his longsword and reinforced his protective shield. However, a wave of demonic energy rushed towards him from behind. The Taoist could already feel the chilling aura in his back. With a fierce expression, he turned around and condensed sword energy in his right hand, thrusting it straight behind him.

The Taoist priest was prepared to perish together with the other. His water-attribute protective shield broke upon contact, and the two immediately clashed. One's left hand was filled with demonic energy, while the other's right hand was wielded with sharp sword energy. Both charged forward towards each other without hesitation.

With a soft thud, the sound of flesh shattering filled the air. Immediately, all sorts of magical artifacts fell to the ground and dimmed. It was seen that Lu Yunfeng's left hand had already shattered the Taoist's left side, while the Taoist's right hand had missed. Lu Yunfeng's body twisted strangely, avoiding fatal blows. The Taoist looked puzzled, the light in his eyes disappeared, and he collapsed.

Lu Yunfeng quickly swallowed several self-made hemostatic and healing pills, glanced at the Taoist lying on the ground with his eyes wide open in death, collected the items and monster corpses from the place into the blood-red gourd, and hurriedly left the place.

Inside a hollow of a large tree, Lu Yunfeng sat cross-legged, a wisp of white vapor rising from his head. "Phew, I've finally recovered. Walking in the forbidden area after being injured was too dangerous. I'm really grateful for these pills."

Lu Yunfeng reviewed the battle. Against Zhang Kuang, only sheer strength could overcome him; probing into the poisonous fog with her divine sense would be corroded, so she absolutely could not do that. Zhang Kuang was still moving around in the poisonous fog, so the chance of hitting him was too low. Fortunately, she had bought a talisman, which allowed her to break through the Five Poisons Formation and kill Zhang Kuang.

The Taoist priest Lu Sheng, who was lying in ambush, was startled by the flying talisman, which was keenly observed by Lu Yunfeng. Lu Yunfeng had always fought with the worst-case scenario in mind, and sure enough, there were indeed people lying in ambush around him.

Next, Lu Yunfeng checked the surroundings, removed some traces, and then fell fast asleep.
