Although Lu Xiaotian was surprised, he did not panic. Although the horse-faced cultivator had a killing move, Lu Xiaotian was confident that he could put up a fight against him at close range, even if he was a late Jin Dan cultivator. Moreover, the horse-faced cultivator's cultivation seemed to be slightly weaker than his.
A silver-grey light flashed on his chest and a piece of armor appeared. It completely covered his chest.
Ding ding! Two crisp sounds rang out. The ice-blue needles, as thin as a cow's hair, bounced back as if they had hit an iron plate.
"What, what kind of magic weapon is this?!" Seeing the silver armor appear from Lu Xiaotian's body and his sure-kill attack miss, the horse-faced cultivator could not help but be shocked. He secretly felt that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw.
However, at this moment, wisps of green flames flowed out from the black-clothed man's palm like a trickle of water. The pain that penetrated deep into his soul caused the horse-faced cultivator to cry out in pain. He slashed his left palm across his chest and a piece of ice armor several feet thick blocked the green flames. He had already retreated a few feet away. He waved his right palm repeatedly but found that the green flames were like a corpse attached to his bones and could not be dispelled. The horse-faced cultivator hurriedly channeled a large amount of transcendence energy to force the green flames out of his right hand.
However, the green flames followed him like a shadow. A large amount of green flames climbed onto the ice armor and in the blink of an eye, the ice armor shattered. The remaining green flames, under Lu Xiaotian's control, turned into several fire lotuses and blocked the horse-faced cultivator from several different directions.
At this moment, Cao Kun, who had been hiding in the secret chamber all this time, was ecstatic. He had long been tired of staying in the secret chamber, but he was too weak by himself. At this moment, the mysterious black-clothed man from his memories had appeared once again. Cao Kun, who had always regarded the Marquis's mansion as his home, could no longer hold back. Although the black-clothed man was powerful, he was only one person. If he had his Di You Hound, he might be able to deter a portion of the cultivators with ill intentions. Cao Kun gritted his teeth and left the secret chamber.
The Di You Hound carried Cao Kun and rushed towards the direction of the fight. Two other Jin Dan cultivators who were hiding in the dark watched the scene in fear. It was a dangerous but not very intense fight. That black-clothed man looked like he was playing it down. It was obvious that he was holding back. However, the horse-faced cultivator's face was already flushed red. It was clear that he had overused his magic power.
At this moment, the spectators were still unable to understand the dangers involved. Only the horse-faced cultivator knew how terrifying this green flame was. Once touched, he would have to use a large amount of magic power to expel it from his body. Its destructive power was shocking. Even with his cultivation, he wouldn't be able to last long. Often, when he managed to expel a portion of the green flame from his body, the black-clothed man would control a few more wisps of flame to block it. More flames would then climb onto his legs and arms.
Seeing the horse-faced cultivator's panicked expression, Lu Xiaotian was satisfied with the power of the Brahma Spiritual Fire. The Brahma Spiritual Fire was originally very threatening. Ever since it combined with the Silver Leaf Buddha Tree and was baptized by the Sanskrit chants and Buddhist Dharma in the Demon-Banishing Pagoda, it had already lost its original terrifying aura of destruction. It had become calm, just like an ordinary flame. However, only those who were in it could understand the power of the Brahma Spiritual Fire. The horse-faced cultivator before him was not weak. If he wanted to take him down in a fight, Lu Xiaotian estimated that he would have to put in a lot of effort. He might even have to use the Soul-Devouring Technique and his own magic power to kill or severely injure him, just like how he dealt with the Silver Orchid Bandit. However, after he refined the Demon-Banishing Pagoda, the Brahma Spiritual Fire alone was enough to tire the horse-faced cultivator out in close combat.
He had already tested the power of the Brahma Spiritual Fire. It was indeed not something that an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator could easily deal with. Most importantly, using the Brahma Spiritual Fire did not require much magic power. There were still a few other Jin Dan cultivators spying on them in the Zhenwei Marquis' residence. It would not be wise to drag this out for too long. Lu Xiaotian nimbly passed through the few green fire lotuses. Taking advantage of the time when the horse-faced cultivator was gathering his magic power, he struck his back with a palm.
The horse-faced cultivator, who had been severely injured, was sent flying by Lu Xiaotian's palm, spitting out fresh blood. Lu Xiaotian tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and was already in the air.
"Ice Light Armor!" At the critical moment, the horse-faced cultivator shouted and took out a level nine defensive talisman. A layer of ice armor with threatening cold air surrounded the horse-faced cultivator. However, the Brahma Spiritual Fire that had already touched his arm was not isolated by the ice armor. Even if he was surrounded by the ice armor, the horse-faced cultivator's situation could not be considered good.
A level nine defensive talisman was indeed rare. The higher the level of the talisman, the harder it was to make it. Lu Xiaotian coldly snorted. A level nine defensive talisman was only a slightly stronger tortoise shell.
With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, a pair of silver-grey gloves appeared on Lu Xiaotian's hands. He firmly protected his hands. Like raindrops, the fists fell on the ice armor.
In the blink of an eye, he had already struck no less than ten times. In addition to Lu Xiaotian's heavy fists, there was also a large amount of Brahma Spiritual Fire spewing out, almost completely enveloping the horse-faced cultivator. Under the repeated attacks, several cracks appeared on the ice armor from Lu Xiaotian's attacks. The Brahma Spiritual Fire directly drilled through the cracks.
Although the horse-faced cultivator was protected by the ice armor, he was still dizzy from the powerful fist energy. Before he could react, the Brahma Spiritual Fire had already drilled through the cracks in the ice armor. That soul-burning pain caused the horse-faced cultivator to howl in grief once again.
The entire process of the fight was extremely short. Cao Kun had just rushed over from the secret chamber on his Di Netherhound when he saw a scene that made his blood boil. The horse-faced cultivator who had been impudent in the Marquis' mansion was already showing signs of defeat. He saw the black-clothed man's body flip upside down, his hands grabbing the horse-faced cultivator's head and twisting it forcefully, directly plucking the horse-faced cultivator's head off.
"Good!" Cao Kun roared excitedly, directly taking the head off his neck. This kind of martial arts that was similar to that of the secular world's mortals was also unusually inspiring for immortal cultivators.
Lu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and beckoned. At this moment, the long rope that was binding Huang Shennian lost its master's control and was directly taken away by Lu Xiaotian. Huang Shennian was freed from his bindings and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to the black-clothed man in front of him. However, when he knelt down and raised his head again, the black-clothed man above him had already disappeared without a trace.
Lu Xiaotian carried the horse-faced cultivator's head with his eyes wide open as he flew through the air. This truly intimidated a few Jin Dan cultivators who harbored evil intentions.
However, Lu Xiaotian wasn't finished yet. He stretched out his hand and tossed the head towards Cao Kun who was rushing over. "Hang these heads up as a warning to thieves. This is the fate of those who behave atrociously in the Marquis' mansion!"
"Good!" Cao Kun soared up, his face full of excitement. He felt that although this black-clothed man was cold and taciturn, his actions were swift and fierce, which was truly satisfying.
