Taiyin Divine Thunder is a concentrated attack spell in the metal Taoist arts, which can cause considerable damage to a single target.
Thick thunder and lightning exploded in the cave where the sky could not be seen. Yuwen Tuo, who was supposed to be a member of the Five Elements of the Metal System, screamed in pain under the bombardment of thunder and lightning, unconsciously revealing a sharp female voice.
"Jun... uh, Taishi, are you okay?"
Han Teng and Hu Lu'an exclaimed in panic. They released defensive spells together and barely blocked the Taiyin Divine Thunder released by Lu Xiao.
"Jun? Humph! The fox's tail is showing!"
Lu Xiao continued to prepare spells, and Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao also saw the clues. These three people were not the real Grand Master Yuwen and his subordinates, but were transformed by other people's spells.
"Well!"
"Yuwentuo" covered his injured shoulder and groaned: "Recover the Shennong Cauldron and retreat!"
"yes!"
The fake Hu Lu'an and Han Teng worked together to prepare a new spell. The fake Yuwen Tuo, who was the leader, temporarily used the power of the magic weapon to release thunder and lightning, blocking Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin who were trying to charge.
At this time, Yongzhen's spell has also been prepared: "Ice and rocks fall randomly!"
Extremely cold ice cubes formed in the cave and bombarded the counterfeit Yuwen Tuo's defensive magic weapon one after another.
Tuoba Yuer mentioned the lancet and planned to join the battle, but was stopped by Yongzhen.
"Don't go, there's something wrong with those three people."
Just as Yongzhen said, Hu Lu'an and Han Teng, who were busy preparing spells, emitted strange spiritual energy fluctuations that were different from the Five Elements spells. It was obvious that something was wrong.
Yongzhen couldn't identify the two people's spells, but Lu Xiao knew their plans clearly.
"Want to run? It's not that easy!"
"Da~"
He stepped heavily on the ground with his left foot, and the restrictive spell he had secretly prepared before enveloped the entire cave.
Although Lu Xiao's Western faction spells are unable to be used under the suppression of the Divine Barrier, this does not mean that his understanding of spells has disappeared.
For example, Lu Xiao used to use Western formulas to solve problems, but now he just changes to a set of formulas more commonly used by Easterners and uses another way to solve problems.
Although he is still unable to fully adapt to the Guigu Taoist system, Lu Xiao has gradually been able to reproduce the space spells he has mastered in the form of Taoism.
The spell prepared by Hu Lu'an and Han Teng had obvious spatial fluctuations, and they obviously planned to use space teleportation to transport themselves and the Shennong Cauldron away together.
The binding circle rising from the cave underground disrupted the flow of nearby space, and the risk of using space spells doubled.
"Damn it!"
The plan completely exceeded expectations, and the fake Yuwen Tuo roared angrily: "Ling Jie Dafa, hurry up! Otherwise none of us will be able to leave!"
Hu Lu'an and Han Teng looked at each other and nodded firmly at the same time.
"open!"
As wounds suddenly burst out on the two of them, their casting speed and precision increased significantly.
"Where to go! Kanli Leiden!"
A wide range of thunder erupted in the cave. The fake Yuwen Tuo seemed to have endless magic weapons. He took out a metal spherical object and suspended it above his head, sucking all the thunder and lightning released by Lu Xiao into it.
"Walk!"
Seeing Lu Xiao rushing over with his sword drawn, Yuwen Tuo didn't bother carrying the Shennong Cauldron and hurriedly teleported away from the cave with his two subordinates.
The two people who cast the spell used a self-mutilation spell similar to the Demonic Disintegration Dafa, forcibly improving the spell output and accuracy, and escaped from the space-limiting magic circle that Lu Xiao constructed in a hurry.
However, this life-threatening taboo spell cannot be used casually. It is likely to cause huge side effects to the body and may even shorten one's lifespan.
Although they failed to keep the three counterfeiters, they managed to save the Shennong Cauldron.
After the battle subsided, Qin Shubao frowned and stroked his beard, and asked Lu Xiao doubtfully: "Brother Lu, what exactly is this..."
Lu Xiao shook his head and said: "I don't know the details, but I am certain that those three people are definitely fakes."
"If Grand Master Yuwen really comes here, he doesn't need any help at all. We all tied together may not be able to beat him with one hand."
Qin Qiong smiled bitterly and nodded: "I have also heard many legends about Grand Master Yuwen. It is said that he can wipe out thousands of armies by himself. He has super power that exceeds common sense. No one can defeat him head-on."
If Lu Xiao had a weapon in his hand that could block the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, he might be able to compete with Yuwen Tuo, the reincarnation of the artifact. But now there is really nothing he can do.
Yongzhen said thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard the two generals calling Yuwen Tuo "Jun". Did I hear it wrong?"
"No, you heard that right."
Lu Xiao said firmly: "I heard it too, but I just don't know what the second half of their words was."
'How dare you be so high-profile as a spy, Dugu Ningke... I'd better find an opportunity to go to Daxing City and get rid of you first.'
Daxing was the capital of the Sui Dynasty, better known by its other name.
Chang'an.
Dugu Ningke is the spy sent by the devil Satan to the East to cause mischief. She is the most beloved daughter of Prince Dugu.
However, the real Dugu Ningke died when he was only a few years old, and he is now a puppet possessed and controlled by the Western Demons.
It was she who suggested to Yuwen Tuo to use the Road to Babel instead of the Void Formation to reach Chiguan Star.
Under unthinkable circumstances, Yu Wentuo had no choice but to accept her suggestion and decided to endure the pain to sacrifice the blood beads of all spirits.
This time Yang Guang came to visit the palace in Daliang City, and Dugu Ningke also accompanied him.
Because she was deeply favored by Yang Guang, as the princess, Dugu Ningke could even influence the emperor's thoughts to a certain extent.
It was precisely because of her secret plot that the unreliable rumor spread widely, leading Cheng Yaojin to seize the treasure.
However, without any actual evidence, it was impossible for Lu Xiao to tell Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao about this inference of blaming the emperor's relatives, so he could only pretend to be stupid for the time being to get rid of the topic.
…
The commotion made Cheng Yaojin more determined to hand over the Shennong Cauldron. All he had to do next was bargaining.
As Lu Xiao gradually analyzes the world rules followed by Eastern Taoism, his alchemy skills also begin to gradually recover.
Refining gold and silver out of thin air is just a piece of cake for him. Due to Aletheia's connivance, even in the main world, Lu Xiao has long lost the concept of money.
After pretending to bargain with Cheng Yaojin, the Demon King was finally satisfied and handed over the Shennong Cauldron to Lu Xiao, in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver treasures to fill the treasure house.
Compared with the divine tripod that can be seen but not eaten, real money and silver excite the bandits more.
When Lu Xiao walked out of the village carrying the cauldron with one hand, these bandits actually saw them off.
High up in the mountain village, Qin Shubao stroked his beard habitually and silently watched the retreating figures of Lu Xiao and the others.
"You can carry a heavy ancient bronze cauldron with one hand, and you can also use magical Taoist magic. How can such a hero remain unknown?"
"Whatever."
Cheng Yaojin said with a proud smile: "With this generous fund, I can finally feel more at ease."
"Brother Shubao, I have decided to agree to the recruitment of you and General Zhang. I also asked Dai Laocheng to convey that I will bring all the brothers in the village to join General Zhang."
Qin Shubao smiled and nodded: "That would be great. I will report to General Zhang right away. By the way..."
With a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, Qin Shubao said in a deep voice: "Through General Zhang's connections, tell the important officials in the court that someone is pretending to be Grand Master Yuwen."
