Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Chapter 210: Chapter 176: Fake Pill Great Power

“Senior Brother, you think you can stop me?”

“How will we know unless we try?”

Sima Rui smiled as the aura of his Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation suddenly flared.

Although he had reached Foundation Establishment earlier, his strength was slightly weaker than Pei Yingyao’s.

However, he didn’t need to hold off Pei Yingyao forever—just long enough for Cao Shaolong to kill Li Chang’an.

「Meanwhile.」

At the foot of the mountain, in Yellow Crane Inner City.

Inside Li Chang’an’s residence.

Brimming with killing intent, Cao Shaolong strode in.

“Li Chang’an, who will you hide behind this time?”

“Daoist Cao, it’s been a while.”

Li Chang’an was smiling, showing no sign of nervousness.

He glanced at the residence across the way.

At this moment, a great battle had already erupted in that residence.

Just as the divination had shown, Murong Kang had made his move and was suppressing Su Yuyan.

And Zheng Qingqing had returned to the Zheng Clan Territory not long ago. It was unknown when she would be back.

It had to be said, Cao Shaolong’s timing was exceptionally clever.

He had successfully created an opportunity to deal with Li Chang’an alone.

Now, all he had to do was kill Li Chang’an, and this would all be over.

Sensing the astonishing killing intent pouring from him, Li Chang’an didn’t panic, his smile never wavering.

“Daoist Cao, your eyes are all red. That’s a sign of a raging temper. Why not sit down and have a cup of Spirit Tea to soothe it?”

“Li Chang’an, die!”

Cao Shaolong didn’t dare delay and attacked at once.

’The longer this drags on, the more likely something will go wrong.’

His figure flickered, and in an instant, he was before Li Chang’an, slashing down with his saber.

WHOOSH…

A gentle breeze swept by, and Li Chang’an’s figure scattered with the wind.

Cao Shaolong’s powerful slash had only struck empty air.

In the next instant, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

Black clouds roiled, lightning flashed, and fierce winds howled, shattering the previous peace and tranquility.

’A Tier Two Array, just as I expected. But do you really think I came unprepared?’

Cao Shaolong snorted.

He had spoken with Murong Kang.

So he knew Li Chang’an’s residence was protected by a Tier Two Low Grade Array.

He slapped his Storage Pouch, and a streak of Spiritual Light immediately shot out, landing in his hand and transforming into a gleaming golden staff.

This was a Treasure he had snatched in a Secret Realm not long ago.

A Tier Two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Wind-Stabilizing Staff!

It was named for stabilizing wind, but it could immobilize more than just the wind—it could also halt the flow of Magical Power within an array.

“Stabilize!”

Cao Shaolong unleashed the treasure, smashing it heavily onto the ground.

With a loud RUMBLE, the entire residence shook.

A profound ripple spread out from the Wind-Stabilizing Staff, dispersing throughout the entire array.

In an instant, the Thundercloud Annihilation Array ceased to function, losing its effect completely.

“Li Chang’an, what tricks do you have left now?”

Cao Shaolong snorted, his bloodshot eyes staring straight into the depths of the house, as if he had already pinpointed Li Chang’an’s true location.

Next, with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a powerful blast of Foundation Establishment Magical Power, intending to destroy Li Chang’an’s house directly.

However, to his disbelief, when the blast of Magical Power touched the house, it didn’t destroy it but simply vanished into thin air.

’There’s another array?’

Cao Shaolong’s expression changed, and a sense of dread washed over him.

He hastily took out several other Array-Breaking Treasures, activating them all at once in an attempt to break through Li Chang’an’s Grand Array.

But it was no use. These Treasures were not nearly as effective as the Wind-Stabilizing Staff, and their effect was minimal.

Furthermore, in the blink of an eye, the Wind-Stabilizing Staff in the center of the courtyard vanished!

It was as if an invisible hand had silently taken it away.

Li Chang’an’s laughter rang out.

“Many thanks, Daoist Cao, for coming all this way to gift me this Treasure!”

“You…”

Cao Shaolong was incandescent with rage. He began to madly bombard his surroundings, trying to break the array with brute force.

But it was all in vain.

Just then, Murong Kang’s anxious voice suddenly sounded from outside.

“Cao Shaolong, why haven’t you killed Li Chang’an yet? My Sixth Senior Brother can’t hold on much longer!”

“Dammit!”

Cao Shaolong’s eyes were blood-red. Furious and frantic, his aura surged wildly.

He had actually resorted to casting a spell that burned his own lifespan!

However, even while burning his own lifespan, he still couldn’t break the array trapping him.

From time to time, Li Chang’an’s relaxed and carefree laughter would echo.

“Daoist Cao, why bother? Your lifespan is precious. Isn’t the whole point of cultivating immortality to achieve longevity? Burning your lifespan like this is such a crude method. You’re already showing signs of demonic deviation.”

Hearing these words, Cao Shaolong became even more frenzied, roaring repeatedly.

In just a few moments, a streak of white appeared in his black hair—a sign that his lifespan was being too severely depleted in a short time.

Just then, a fierce streak of sword light suddenly shot out from the slopes of Yellow Crane Mountain, arriving at Li Chang’an’s courtyard in an instant.

The arrival was none other than Pei Yingyao!

Following close behind her was a pale-faced Sima Rui.

’We’re both at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, yet I could only hold her off for a moment. The gap in our strength is just too great… so great I can hardly believe it.’

“Enough, Daoist Cao. We have lost this time.”

Sima Rui sighed and lightly tapped Cao Shaolong with his palm.

With that one palm strike, the somewhat frenzied Cao Shaolong instantly calmed down a great deal.

He glanced at Li Chang’an, the killing intent in his eyes undiminished, but he didn’t dare to make another move.

Meanwhile, in the residence across the way, Murong Kang also promptly stopped his attack.

He looked at Li Chang’an’s residence, a look of apprehension on his face.

This time, Cao Shaolong had been thoroughly screwed over by him.

He could never have imagined that the array in Li Chang’an’s residence was far more than a simple Tier Two Low Grade Array.

Su Yuyan, on the other hand, had no such reservations. Looking slightly anxious, she entered Li Chang’an’s courtyard.

“Brother Li, are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

Li Chang’an appeared, his expression relaxed, looking completely calm and unruffled.
