Hu Menglan's back was facing Lu Xuan, so she couldn't see Lu Xuan's movements clearly. However, Xia Xi, Su Hexuan, and the other experts could see it clearly. The moment Lu Xuan appeared behind Hu Menglan, he took out a talisman scroll from his storage ring without any hesitation!
When his escape route was blocked by Sang Yuwen, Lu Xuan knew that if he couldn't deal with Hu Menglan today, everyone present would be captured. But it was impossible to count on Su Hexuan and the others to defeat Hu Menglan. Therefore, Lu Xuan could only think of a way to defeat Hu Menglan himself.
While Lu Xuan was lucky enough to survive the previous two clashes, he knew that it was impossible for him to hurt Hu Menglan at his current level of power. He would have had to rely on external forces if he wanted to defeat her. However, Lu Xuan just so happened to have an extremely powerful external force to help him. That was the talisman scroll that he was holding in his hand at the moment. It was a nine-star talisman that he obtained from the Heavenly Emperor Palace — the Holy Mountain Destroyer Talisman!
A nine star talisman master might only be equivalent to a peak level Origin Realm martial artist, but the strength of their attacks exceeded that of a peak level Origin Realm martial artist. With the power of a nine star talisman, it wasn't impossible for it to injure a Great Void Realm expert.
And to be on the safe side, Lu Xuan didn't even use his only nine star talisman on Hu Menglan. Instead, he used a sneak attack. Hu Menglan might be wary of Su Hexuan, an eight star talisman master, or Xia Xi's ninth level Origin Realm bodyguard, but she would never pay too much attention to a mere first level Origin Realm brat like Lu Xuan. And this was exactly what Lu Xuan wanted.
"Mountain Destroyer – Saint Talisman!" Lu Xuan's cold voice slowly rang out behind Hu Menglan. The Nine Star Talisman Scroll in his hand was instantly activated, and an aura that was enough to make everyone shudder suddenly erupted from that small talisman!
An unparalleled force viciously slammed into Hu Menglan's back. Even though Hu Menglan was already somewhat on guard, she still did not expect Lu Xuan's sneak attack to be so ferocious. Even if she used all her strength to receive this force, she would only be evenly matched. Moreover, it had exploded from her back while she was defenseless?
A force that could destroy mountains and seas slammed into Hu Menglan's back. Hu Menglan's body was like a rootless duckweed as she was instantly sent flying. The powerful force had already injured her internal organs. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out and splattered onto the floor. Immediately, a loud boom sounded out. Hu Menglan's body had actually smashed through the walls of the great hall. It was evident how powerful this force was.
"Elder Hall Master Su, take this opportunity to kill this bastard!" Lu Xuan took a deep breath and shouted. After suffering such a heavy blow, Hu Menglan had definitely reached an unprecedentedly weak state. This was the best opportunity to kill her. Lu Xuan's own injuries were severe and the task of killing Hu Menglan could only be handed over to Su Hexuan and the rest.
Hu Menglan was seriously injured by Lu Xuan's sneak attack. This undoubtedly gave Su Hexuan and the rest a glimmer of hope in this hopeless situation. In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up. Su Hexuan even suppressed his injuries and shouted, "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four people who were lying on the ground earlier instantly leapt up. Regardless of the severity of their injuries, they forcefully suppressed it at this moment. If they did not take this opportunity to kill Hu Menglan, what awaited them would not be injuries, but death.
Sang Yuwen's expression changed when he saw this. Just as he was about to step forward and help Hu Menglan, Lu Xuan dragged his heavily injured body and blocked Sang Yuwen's path. Sang Yuwen could not help but take a step back. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes and he did not dare to take another step forward!
The deterrent effect of Lu Xuan's Soul Talisman was too great. If he had been the target of Lu Xuan's attack instead of Hu Menglan, he would have long been dead. Even though he was not sure if Lu Xuan still had such a powerful weapon, he did not dare to risk his life.
Through the hole that Hu Menglan had created, everyone could clearly see what was happening outside. Su Hexuan and the other three had surrounded Hu Menglan and were attacking her together. Whatever powerful moves they had, they threw them all out. None of them dared to hold back.
"Get out of my way!" Hu Menglan shouted angrily. However, she was unable to hide her weakness as she shouted. Lu Xuan's attack had been far too fatal. He had launched a sneak attack right behind her, causing her to take the full brunt of the power of the Mountain-Crushing Saint Talisman. Had it not been for the protective treasures she had on her, she would have died right there and then.
Su Hexuan and the others did not say a word. Every attack that they threw at Hu Menglan was fatal. Even though she was heavily injured, they did not dare to underestimate a Virtualized Stage expert.
Hu Menglan's attacks became weaker and weaker. She urgently needed to recuperate. A prolonged battle like this would only worsen her injuries, and she might even be exhausted to death by Su Hexuan and the others.
She hated herself for not being able to kill Su Hexuan and the others earlier. Otherwise, Lu Xuan would have been able to take control of the situation even if he were to injure her to such an extent. Unfortunately, it was all for naught.
Finally, Hu Menglan gritted her teeth and made up her mind. With a long howl, she swept her longsword horizontally, forcing Su Hexuan and the others to retreat. She then flew into the sky without a care for anything else. She had actually chosen to escape in a sorry state!
"Sigh, what a pity. She still managed to escape." The ninth level Origin Realm expert from Hundred Herb Hall swung his fist and said unwillingly.
Su Hexuan was rather open-minded and laughed, "A Virtualized Stage expert was actually unable to do anything to our Hundred Herb Hall. This is already a great victory. Let's celebrate. Now, let us clean up the mess."
Shade Fiend Hu Menglan's heavily injured escape caused everyone to have different expressions. Some were happy, some were worried.
Those who were still loyal to Hundred Herb Hall were undoubtedly in high spirits, while those who chose to betray Hundred Herb Hall had pale faces. Not only did they fail to obtain the benefits that Bei Bo Ruo promised, they even lost everything they had before. Being able to control such a large organization like Hundred Herb Hall, Su Hexuan was definitely not a soft-hearted person.
The moment Sang Yuwen saw Hu Menglan escape, he had already taken the lead to escape. Even though Lu Xuan wasn't far from him, he could only watch as Sang Yuwen escaped. Right now, Lu Xuan was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river. He couldn't even protect himself. The reason why he was able to deter Sang Yuwen was because of the deterrence left behind by the Mountain Crushing Saint Talisman. He didn't have the ability to deal with Sang Yuwen himself.
