Liu Xuansu laughed and said, "These evil charms mostly exist as spirit bodies and must be dealt with using magical techniques... Huh?!"

Before he could finish his words, Lu Ren's palm darted out at a speed beyond his imagination, and he grabbed Liu Xuansu, making him let out a muffled groan.

His legs slightly bent, and then the roof he was standing on collapsed in a large portion.

Boom!

He shot up to the sky, dragging Liu Xuansu along, and landed in the courtyard of Yuhe Temple.

Suddenly, bricks exploded, and Liu Xuansu was already trapped in the cracked ground.

Caught off guard by such a heavy blow, Liu Xuansu couldn't withstand it; his body started to bulge, with bubble-like things emerging on his skin and clothes.

Seeing this disgusting scene, Lu Ren had to let go and step back a few steps in disgust.

The opponent also changed from Liu Xuansu's appearance to a tentacle-covered soft creature.

Filled with disgust, Lu Ren unsheathed his sword without hesitation, and after activating the high-frequency vibration, he dismembered the soft creature into pieces.

"Ding, you have slain the mirage beast. You seem to have gained some insight into the spirit, and your spiritual proficiency has slightly improved."

Mirage beast (shenshou)?

Liu Xuansu's angry shout suddenly reached Lu Ren's ears.

Was the sound physically isolated just now?!

Does this mirage beast have such strong air control abilities?

Lu Ren's eyes turned sharp as he strode forward and rushed into the backyard of the great hall, where Liu Xuansu's living quarters were, only to see Liu Xuansu frantically fighting with the air.

Fist wind fierce, leg technique swift.

As the fist wind howled, under the rise of his spiritual will, there was a faint dragon roar between his fists, vaguely triggering a magnetic field, causing sparks of electricity.

It indeed fits the Thundering Dragon Dispersing Hand that the young scholar mentioned.

Not far from Liu Xuansu, a mirage beast resembling a tentacle monster was waving its tentacles.

"Ah!! Lu Ren, give me back my disciple's life, you cannibal demon!! My Supreme Profound Sect will never let you go!"

Liu Xuansu's face was full of sorrow and anger, desperately punching and kicking the air, with his eyes shining brightly.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when spiritual will is cultivated to a certain stage, clearly using all the power he could muster to the extreme.

Lu Ren: "..."

How to handle this?

Clearly enchanted by the mirage beast.

The mirage beast seems to have decided that he encountered an illusion, but Lu Ren felt nothing unusual.

Could it be that the spiritual attack was so low-level that the system panel couldn't even be bothered to alert him?!

This is not right!

While pondering, Lu Ren, holding his sword, walked past Liu Xuansu directly to the tentacle-laden, menacing mirage beast. Just as he lifted his sword to slash, the mirage beast turned into Zhang Qingya.

Looking pitiful, she widened her eyes and gazed at him.

"Ding, you have encountered the mirage beast's pheromone attack, and you seem to see the person deep within your heart."

The person deep within my heart?

It seems, damn it, why turn into this of all things?

What nonsense!

Isn't this just grossing him out?

Lu Ren wore an unpleasant expression, completely outraged by this nonsense!

Watching Zhang Qingya posing coquettishly, Lu Ren decisively swung his sword, slicing Zhang Qingya into pieces flying in all directions before stopping.

"Ding, you mercilessly killed the mirage beast (Zhang Qingya), and your basic swordsmanship improved slightly."

Having killed the mirage beast, Liu Xuansu finally regained clarity, and his bloodshot eyes focused for the first time, raising his hand slowly, filled with confusion.

"Taoist Liu, are you feeling better?"

Lu Ren's voice came through, making Liu Xuansu turn his head sharply.

He looked full of sorrow and anger.

"Lu, we are irreconcilable!"

As he spoke, he was already rushing towards Lu Ren with a trail of dust behind him.

Boom!

Lu Ren: "..."

Lu Ren punched out, using his exceptionally long reach and speed that pierced the air in an instant, hitting Liu Xuansu directly in the face. Liu Xuansu fell backward, flying ten meters away, crashing through the courtyard wall, and lay silent in the rubble.

A bit weak, huh?!

He was slightly surprised.

He must have been blinded by rage.

The impression Liu Xuansu gave him, even if not bright awakening, was only a tiny chance away from peeking through, not to mention that the other party was indeed an expert in spiritual cultivation.

Sliding the longsword back into its sheath, Lu Ren stepped forward to retrieve Liu Xuansu from the rubble, then walked to a small hut by the courtyard, where several young Taoists were watching through the window in horror.

As he pushed the door open, the young Taoists exclaimed in unison.

"Oh my God, the demon has entered the house!!"

"Wah, wah, I still have half a chicken hidden in the kitchen!"

A young female Taoist cried out.

"Wah, I'm going to die! I haven't finished eating the osmanthus cake my mother sent me."

Lu Ren sighed, trying to soften his tone.

"Alright."

Seeing them cry louder, Lu Ren's face turned cold, shouting, "Hush!"

Instantly, the cries of the four young Taoists stopped abruptly, faces streaked with tears, full of despair.

He cleared his throat, casually tossing Liu Xuansu on the ground.

"Alright, your master just fainted. But before he wakes up, you should stay away and definitely don't get too close."

Hearing that Liu Xuansu was not dead, the young Taoists breathed a sigh of relief. A slightly older child, still teary-eyed, tried to put on a brave face.

"Why, why?"

"He might start killing in his sleep, you never know."

Lu Ren spread his hands, "After all, he was knocked unconscious by me while very agitated, so his excitement might continue before he wakes up."

The children seemed to understand and not understand, but they knew that a master like Liu Xuansu could kill them as easily as chickens in an unconscious attack.

As Lu Ren finished speaking, he intended to leave.

Realizing Lu Ren's good intentions, the young Taoists quickly said, "Layman, as night falls, demons are rampant. If you're not careful, you might be eaten by demons!"

"Demon?"

Lu Ren looked curious.

"You mean, there are demons?!"

The young Taoists nodded repeatedly, affirmingly saying, "I saw my master fighting demons when I was young!"

"Oh, how did he fight?"

How young were you, after all? Looking at these young Taoists who were only eight or nine years old, his mind was full of sarcasm.

Another young Taoist raised his hand repeatedly, full of fear and pride.

"One afternoon, we went to the river to play... No, it was after reading the Taoist canon and washing clothes by the river, when we saw Master pinning a demon under a tree, and when he hit, the demon always showed a painful expression."

"Yes, yes, and the sound was so scary!"

Lu Ren: "..."

Seeing the four faces full of innocence, speaking with pure tones.

Is it really okay to metaphorically seal the door in this way?

Lu Ren asked, "Why do you say it's a demon?"

"Because Master kept saying she was a demon."

The young girl nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right."
