The Lu family might not have a particularly renowned reputation in modern society.
It could even be said that many people have never heard of them, but in the world of martial artists and cultivators, they are a famously prominent family.
They are usually exceptionally low-profile, with few Lu family disciples venturing out. However, as a family of talisman masters, it is rumoured that the head of the Lu family possesses extraordinary abilities, capable of summoning gods and exorcising ghosts through talismans, and has significant connections with contemporary shamans and spirit mediums in the northeast.
Moreover, there are claims that the highly publicised Yangtze River flow interruption incident was caused by the Lu family intervening with rituals and battling river demons.
The Yangtze River flow interruption incident in 1954 should be familiar to residents living in Taixing City.
It remains unknown whether they were truly fighting river demons or something else at that time.
However, the Yangtze River did indeed stop flowing for a full two hours!
This alone is sufficient to demonstrate how terrifying the Lu family members truly are.
As the foremost figure of the younger generation in the contemporary Lu family, Lu Qitian has been deeply versed in the way of talismans since childhood. It is said that he even studied for a period on Mount Longhu in Jiangxi, where he received high praise from the current Celestial Master of Longhu.
He believes that Lu Qitian is truly a genius the Lu family has seen in a hundred years, with his talismanic arts nearly matching those of the Lu family head.
Therefore, Lu Qitian did not regard Luo Chen before him with any seriousness, because he indeed had the capital to be proud!
With his talismanic arts, unless he encountered a grandmaster or a cultivator who had already entered the Dao, he could only overwhelm them.
At this moment, seeing Lu Qitian enter the arena, many people’s eyes showed anticipation. After all, being able to witness the legendary talismanic arts meant this trip had not been in vain.
Additionally, Lu Qitian possessed an outstanding temperament and appearance, and many young women smiled at him.
As for Luo Chen?
His arrogance and ignorance naturally made many people show disdainful, contemptuous expressions.
“You will regret the words you just spoke!” Lu Qitian slowly walked towards Luo Chen.
Raising his hand, he held a yellow talisman paper between his index finger, muttering continuously under his breath, reciting incantations.
“God, come!” Lu Qitian suddenly roared. At this moment, his aura changed.
This was summoning a god through talismans, similar to the spirit medium practices in the northeast, yet different.
Moreover, what he summoned was certainly no ordinary entity.
Lu Qitian’s long hair danced wildly, his aura rising step by step. Even a strong wind began to blow around him, and as if by some mysterious force, a strange power seemed to be bestowed upon Lu Qitian.
This caused the crowd to exclaim in surprise, especially when they saw a layer of golden light appear around Lu Qitian, prompting further exclamations.
“We always thought these things were merely deceptive tricks. Seeing it today, we realise our knowledge was shallow. This world truly contains such things!” someone exclaimed.
“This kind of technique can truly be called divine!”
Even the grandmaster from western Sichuan and Shi Sigui stood up.
Their eyes showed extreme astonishment.
The golden light clung to Lu Qitian like a gauzy robe, shimmering with colourful radiance, making him truly appear as if a deity had descended to the mortal realm.
“This, this kind of technique is truly…”
Many people stood dumbfounded, their eyes showing incredulous expressions.
Especially Yu Shasha, whose eyes reignited with hope at this moment. No matter how strong Luo Chen was, so what?
Could he possibly withstand this kind of divine power, this force beyond the mundane world?
Lu Qitian moved, transforming into a streak of golden light, his movements so fast they were indistinguishable to the eye.
He threw a punch, and with a loud bang, it even produced the sound of air bursting, a deafening noise like thunder exploding.
This punch carried the momentum to shake mountains and tremble the earth. One strike could crush a car into a flat disc.
Therefore, he was confident that a single strike could reduce Luo Chen to minced meat.
“Junior Lu, spare his life. Ask him for the formula,” Shi Sigui exclaimed suddenly, seeing the astonishing momentum of this punch.
But it was too late. Clearly, Lu Qitian had just been provoked by Luo Chen’s words and was genuinely enraged, attacking with a lethal move from the outset.
“A mere martial artist who has only reached the peak of internal strength dares to boast before me.”
“Die!”
“Boom!”
Dust filled the air around them. The ground caved in a circle around the two figures at the centre, and many people even experienced ringing in their ears.
Despite the dust, everyone still looked towards that spot. Neither figure had moved.
But suddenly, there was a loud cough.
Lu Qitian suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
“How is this possible?” Lu Qitian roared suddenly.
“Seemingly flashy, I thought you had greater ability!” A hint of mockery crossed Luo Chen’s lips.
He had originally wanted to witness this talismanic power of the Lu family, but Luo Chen was disappointed.
“Indeed, I overestimated you.” Luo Chen shook his head.
He had originally thought that even though Earth was no longer suitable for cultivation nowadays, some genuine techniques from ancient times would still have been passed down.
But he did not expect that they were merely flashy, superficial things with no substance.
They differed far too much from the true means of summoning deities in the Immortal Realm.
So-called talismans are a special language for communicating with deities, and some can even communicate with heaven and earth itself.
It is just a pity that what Lu Qitian summoned was merely a strange energy, far from any true deity.
It seemed flashy, but he probably could not even defeat an ordinary grandmaster.
This made Luo Chen feel greatly disappointed.
At this moment, Lu Qitian’s punch was caught by Luo Chen’s palm, but Lu Qitian was shaken by the rebounding force until he spat blood.
Luo Chen shook his head in disappointment, then suddenly grabbed Lu Qitian’s fist. With a sudden exertion of strength, he directly swung Lu Qitian up and then slammed him hard onto the ground.
Boom!
Another violent sound erupted. Lu Qitian’s entire body was smashed into the ground, creating a deep pit.
If not for the golden light protecting his body, this slam would probably have reduced Lu Qitian to a pile of mud.
Even so, Lu Qitian felt pain in his internal organs, his blood and qi churning violently. The golden light was shattered, and blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!
“Do you truly deserve to call yourself the foremost of the younger generation?” Luo Chen mocked.
Lu Qitian’s face turned pale with anger at these words, his whole body trembling. But the gap between him and Luo Chen was simply too vast.
Just moments ago, he had been boasting about teaching Luo Chen a lesson, yet in the blink of an eye, this was the result.
His once confidently lethal punch was merely a joke in the other’s eyes.
Since entering the world, this was the first time he had tasted the experience of being defeated and humiliated.
“Ah, I will kill you…”
“Noisy!” Luo Chen’s foot came down, stepping directly on Lu Qitian’s right arm. Lu Qitian’s words were abruptly cut off!
“You have great audacity, daring to strike the young master of the Lu family?” The grandmaster from western Sichuan stood up and shouted angrily at Luo Chen. “Stop the nonsense. If you want to forcibly take the formula, I will give you the opportunity. All of you, come at me together.” Luo Chen looked at Shi Sigui, the grandmaster from western Sichuan, and the old freak from the Diamond Gate!
