Chapter 151: Profound Cultivation
Master Bai Fourteen was not the type with deep scheming thoughts to begin with. After realizing that he had actually been tricked by Xiao Xueyin, he immediately blew his beard and glared in anger.
Not having a grasp on dealing with Hu Jiu Niang did not mean he dared not to make a move against these deceivers.
Dense spikes instantly grew on his body, with misty white light swirling around him.
Generally speaking.
Immortals with profound cultivation could still maintain a human appearance even when using magic power.
But if they manifested features of their true form, it meant they were getting serious.
Furniture toppled over, and just the tides of magic power alone turned the entire house into a mess.
He raised his palm fan-like large hand and slapped down toward the direction where Xiao Xueyin was.
A pink barrier suddenly solidified, blocking Master Bai Fourteen’s whistling magic power from the outside.
Whether these humans lived or died was actually irrelevant to Hu Jiu Niang. She acted to protect them only because she felt doing so could revenge Master Bai Fourteen’s earlier sarcasm toward her.
“Make way.”
Master Bai Fourteen’s voice was low: “Otherwise, I’ll take care of you together.”
Hu Jiu Niang was not frightened at all, still maintaining her delicately smiling appearance.
“Fourteenth Brother, don’t be so hot-tempered.”
Master Bai Fourteen nodded, his expression ferocious.
“Fine, then let’s each rely on our own abilities.”
……
Master Bai Fourteen’s mansion.
“Fourteenth Master is not at the training ground.” Granny Yun gave a definitive conclusion.
During this time, she had tried all sorts of means but still could not obtain a response from Master Bai Fourteen.
Since even this old incense master was at a loss, Lu Bai and the others were even less likely to have any method.
“Lu Xiangtou, you have ability, this old Li admires you.”
Li Xiangtou extended his thumb toward Lu Bai, then added: “You say, what do we do next?”
Lu Bai rubbed his chin, not giving a reply right away.
According to what Li Xiangtou said, those few arsons in the city, though not happening at the same time, were not spaced far apart either.
It seemed there should be a premeditated team committing arson.
But from the time they entered the city until now, they had only seen that one giant weasel evil spirit. It couldn’t be that all the other arsonists were hiding, right?
Just as Lu Bai was pondering this question, a deafening boom suddenly came from the distance.
The violent shockwave followed closely, sweeping through like a sudden high-intensity earthquake, making it hard for people even to stand steady.
The wooden civilian houses along the way collapsed one after another under the impact of the airwave, like dominoes.
Thanks to the firelight around the county town, Lu Bai could clearly see the mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
“Wha… what’s going on? Ground dragon turning over?!”
In such a sudden situation, there was no time to worry about disrespect, so Shi Xiangtou instinctively held onto the shrine to steady his body.
“You all go rescue the civilians.”
Lu Bai threw down these words and, without waiting for the incense masters to respond, strode toward that mushroom cloud.
In a battle of this level, Shi Xiangtou and the others probably wouldn’t even count as cannon fodder, so there was no need for them to follow him.
It must be known that Lu Bai’s current excellent talent allowed him to perfectly wield Master Bai Fourteen’s magic power.
So he was certain that an “explosion” of this degree absolutely could not have been caused by that hedgehog immortal.
At the very least, if he only used Master Bai Fourteen’s magic power, he couldn’t make such a big movement either.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The commotion under the mushroom cloud had not yet stopped.
Rolling thick smoke, firelight, flesh and blood, and corpses.
