Chapter 22: Comprehensive Group Support!
A chaotic battle is about to break out.
Old Master Lu Jin had flowing hair and beard, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
He moved like lightning, his target clear, heading straight for the most sinister-looking, clearly leader-level veterans of the Quanxing faction in the center of the battlefield.
"Hmph, in the way!"
Old Master Lu gave a low shout, and his hands moved so fast that they left afterimages as he wrote rapidly in the air!
"Trapping Immortal Talisman!"
Two condensed, almost tangible blue talismans instantly took shape, like chains imbued with spirit, and shot out with a "whoosh"!
At this moment, the two Quanxing experts who were trying to sneak attack Lu Linglong from the side only saw a flash of blue light before their eyes and their bodies suddenly stiffened!
The talisman was not a physical attack, but it was like an invisible shackle, precisely binding their limbs and bones, forcibly suppressing and binding their internal energy.
The two were startled and struggled desperately, but their bodies felt like they were sinking into mud, their movements became sluggish and heavy, and they completely lost their fighting ability.
Without even looking at the result, the white light of the "Dean Dai's Curse" flashed again beneath his feet, and his whole body transformed into a white streak, carrying an indomitable momentum, rushing straight towards the Quanxing Old Ghost known as "Old Zhao" who was the most insidious and vicious!
Before the person even arrived, the heavy palm wind, as heavy as a mountain, had already made Old Zhao's breath catch in his throat!
At the same time, Feng Baobao's figure was like a ghost on the battlefield.
She doesn't need fancy moves at all; she relies entirely on her beast-like, precise instincts and control over her body's limits.
The short sword, which Xu Si had morbidly named "Okamoto 0.01," transformed in her hand into a dark ray of light that harvested consciousness.
Instead of launching a fatal attack, she maximized her speed.
Each time they flashed to the side or behind the enemy, accompanied by a crisp, even muffled "clang!" sound, the hilt of the knife struck a specific spot on the back of Quanxing's head with precise and just-right force.
Before the victim could even utter a sound, their eyes rolled back and they collapsed limply to the ground, a clean and efficient process reminiscent of an assembly line operation.
Wherever she went, she left a path composed of "fallen" members of the Quanxing sect.
Meanwhile, Lu Linglong was caught in a fierce battle.
With the blessing of "Bagua Walking Steps",
Her movements were agile and graceful, with pink Qi flames flowing around her. Sometimes she darted through the crowd like a fish, and sometimes she twisted her body and exerted force, her fists wrapped in pink Qi, knocking away any Quanxing members who approached her.
Her fighting style was full of heroism and energy, with moves that were both powerful and agile.
However, she rushed in too fast and positioned herself too far forward!
The result of acting impulsively was that he was quickly targeted by the Quanxing faction.
Several skilled Quanxing members, with considerable strength and excellent teamwork, surrounded her with sinister smiles, raining down all sorts of insidious moves, poisonous energy, and hidden weapons upon her!
"Be careful!"
A loud shout rang out, and a figure swept past like a gust of wind!
It's a cloud!
He carried an ancient-looking longsword in his hand, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
Facing a Quanxing who ambushed Lu Linglong from the side and rear, he flicked his wrist. The long sword was not fully drawn, but the scabbard, carrying a condensed Qi energy, drew a streak of silver light and slashed fiercely at the Quanxing's chest!
"Ugh!" Quanxing felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. The force of the blow sent him flying backward, crashing heavily into a broken wall in the distance, instantly rendering him unable to fight.
This strike was concise and sharp, demonstrating the profound skill in combining swordsmanship with internal energy.
"Linglong, move back!" Almost at the same time as Yun made his move, Zhi Jinhua's figure had already cut into the battle like a wisp of smoke!
Instead of waiting and watching, she charged straight into the circle surrounding Lu Linglong!
Her gaze behind her glasses remained calm, and her fingers flew like butterflies flitting among flowers, her movements so fast they were dazzling.
Her fighting style is extremely unique. She does not rely on brute force, but on her superb calculation ability and precise understanding of body structure to engage in exquisite close combat!
She ducked to dodge a sweeping punch, and her slender fingers, like a viper's tongue, precisely struck the nerve on the inside of her opponent's elbow.
The burly Quanxing man felt his entire arm instantly go numb and weak!
Without pausing, Zhi Jinhua shifted her feet and slid to the side of another person, cleverly using her knee to strike the back of the supporting leg while simultaneously striking the person's ribs with her elbow!
The man lost his balance and was struck in a vital spot, letting out a cry of pain as he staggered backward.
Every dodge and every strike she made was perfectly timed, using minimal movement and force to precisely target her opponent's joints, acupoints, and points of leverage.
Like a top-notch fighter, or a sophisticated computer, she dismantles the attackers' offensive within a small space, relieving Lu Linglong of immense pressure.
"Linglong, hang in there!"
Other members of the Lu family also used their skills to do everything they could to protect Lu Linglong, who was surrounded and suffering fierce attacks like a "red bean paste filling".
Just as everyone was fighting fiercely, Xu Si knocked back an opponent with a single punch. His gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield, his expression suddenly changed, and he burst into curses:
"Holy crap! Is this some kind of annual summary meeting for the Quanxing Sect?!"
"How did so many people suddenly appear?!"
Not only him, but also Lu Jin, Xu San, and the younger generation of the Lu family troupe—everyone took a moment to look around during the fierce battle, and their hearts sank.
As far as the eye could see, strangely dressed and menacing Quanxing demons poured out of abandoned buildings or street corners in an endless stream!
This is not the small team of about ten people mentioned in the intelligence report.
Looking around, there was a dense, dark mass of people, definitely more than fifty or sixty!
Moreover, many of them were composed and had ruthless eyes; they were clearly well-known and skilled members of the Quanxing Sect, not ordinary henchmen! The pressure increased sharply!
"Hey kid! Bring me some real meat!"
Xu Si suddenly let out a howl, shouting in the direction of Lu Xiaobai, who had just stepped into the battlefield with Xu San.
He knew that this mysterious young man was the key to turning the tide.
Lu Xiaobai stood at the rear of the battlefield, tightly protected by a human wall formed by employees of Na Du Tong.
His face remained cold, his eyes intensely focused.
Upon hearing Xu Si's roar, he did not hesitate at all. He pointed his staff forward with his right hand while simultaneously drawing several mysterious runes in the air with his left hand!
[Runic incantation: ᚢUruz! — Bison Power!]
A thick, earthy-yellow light instantly enveloped Xu Si's entire body!
Xu Si felt an explosive force surge from his limbs and bones, his muscles bulged, and his bones made a slight cracking sound, as if he had transformed into a humanoid beast!
He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
Immediately afterwards, a circular shield made of countless translucent, metallic-shimmering diamond-shaped scales appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping Xu Si!
The shield gleamed with a resilient luster, radiating a reassuring aura of protection.
"Hehehe..."
Feeling the surging power within his body and the unbreakable shield around his skin, Xu Si revealed an extremely cruel, villainous grin to the several Quanxing members in front of him who looked surprised and suspicious:
"You little rascals, Uncle's in a bad mood today, so I'm going to teach you a lesson on 'how to be a person' for free!"
The voice has not fallen,
He was surrounded by Qi, and like a raging rhinoceros, he crashed into the enemy ranks!
Magnetic manipulation erupted wildly around him, combined with his enhanced and terrifying strength, instantly smashing several unlucky Quanxing members, breaking their bones and sending them flying backward with screams!
And Lu Xiaobai's assistance is far from over!
[Runic incantation: ᛃJera! —Land of Abundance!]
A vibrant emerald green halo rippled out from him, covering most of the upright people.
Those swept by the halo felt a gentle yet continuous nourishing force flowing into them, whether their bodies were tired or their energy was depleted. It was as if parched land was being moistened by rain and dew, and their spirits were invigorated, making their movements even more swift and fluid!
Then,
Lu Xiaobai raised his staff high with both hands.
A massive, incredibly complex magic circle, composed of multiple nested halos, instantly unfolded beneath their feet!
[Triple-Layer Magic Circle: Healing! Mana Restoration! Area of Effect Stacking!]
A dazzling array of seven-colored light erupted from the magic array like a fountain, sweeping across the entire area where the righteous faction was located!
The gentle healing energy soothes the wounds and dispels fatigue;
The pure magical radiance (Qi) replenished everyone's energy.
The "Area Stacking Technique" is even more amazing, as if it amplifies the group buff effect applied by Lu Xiaobai a second time!
In an instant,
The righteous allied forces were as if they had received a shot of adrenaline! Their morale soared, and their offensive became even more ferocious!
Lu Linglong, who was at the forefront with several clear fist marks already imprinted on her pink tracksuit, instantly felt enveloped by a warm, clear, and vibrant powerful energy.
The depleted Qi within the body gushed out like a spring, and the fatigue and pain in the body were quickly relieved.
This magical power greatly reduced the pressure on her during the fierce siege, and she couldn't help but glance back amidst the chaos.
As far as the eye could see, at the very back of the battlefield, stood a figure that appeared exceptionally calm yet radiant amidst the chaos, smoke, and dazzling magical light—Lu Xiaobai.
He was surrounded by the light of flowing runes and magic circles, and with each wave of his staff, waves of power that changed the course of the battle landed precisely on his companions.
The distracting thoughts flashed by, and Lu Linglong's eyes became even more determined. With a clear shout, the pink Qi flames surged, and her fists and feet attacked the enemy with even greater ferocity!
Among them, the one who received the most significant boost from Lu Xiaobai's support was undoubtedly their own "top laner" – Lu Jin!
"Good lad! Impressive skills! Hahahaha!"
Lu Jin's hearty laughter shook the surrounding area. He clearly felt a powerful and pure force flowing into his body, which not only replenished his energy but also made his "Triple Rebirth" state, which he had just used, more fluid and smooth, greatly increasing its power with every move!
His already incredibly swift figure was now moving even faster than teleportation, and his white Qi energy surged like a raging torrent!
"I haven't had such a satisfying fight in decades!"
As he spoke, Lu Jin's aura surged again, and he continued his fierce charge!
