Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Seven Treasures Umbrella, Great Harvest

”Stop the exchange”

Upon seeing the first piece of intelligence.

Fu Changsheng almost broke into a cold sweat.

He had been cloaked with the Invisibility Cloak since entering the Ancient Battlefield, yet Li Yunxiu, this woman, could still detect him:

”Could it be that she has also cultivated Divine Sense in advance?”

If not.

Then she must have cultivated some secret technique or possessed some spirit pet.

From this point of view.

He realized that he had long been confined to that small place in Nanyang County, clearly a frog in the well. In the Cultivation Realm, there are always those who surpass others, and he must be more cautious and prudent in the future:

”What should I do now?”

Big brother and the others are in the Main Hall.

If he wanted to rescue them, he would have to enter the ruined palace.

But he couldn’t just walk into a trap.

All these thoughts seemingly passed slowly.

But it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Fu Changsheng glanced at his right rear with the corner of his eye and immediately had an idea.

Clouds formed beneath his feet, and he immediately used the Ascension Step, flickering to the stone gate at the rear right, while pointing to the nearby Thousand Layers Peak.

The Thousand Layers Peak grew larger against the wind.

With a wave of his Sword Point.

Boom!

The Thousand Layers Peak heavily smashed onto the stone gate.

Crash, crash.

The stone gate shattered.

Immediately after.

A puppet over a dozen feet tall burst out from the stone gate, bypassing Fu Changsheng directly, with only the sound of a whoosh breaking through the air.

Two dark iron chains, like Spiritual Snakes, shot towards Li Yunxiu hidden at the palace entrance with the speed of lightning, as if they had eyes, precise and unerring.

”Bang!”

A stone pillar was struck away.

The iron chain struck directly at Li Yunxiu’s face.

Yet Li Yunxiu, unflustered, pointed at a broken Seven Treasures Umbrella floating above her head, seven-colored light flowing, forming a light curtain that enveloped her.

Clang, clang, clang.

Iron chains clattered on the light curtain.

Sparks flew everywhere.

At the same time.

Li Yunxiu waved her sleeve.

Two Heaven-Shocking Hammers flashed with silver light, colliding with the iron chains with a clang, sending the chains recoiling.

The Heaven-Shocking Hammers didn’t lose their momentum.

Whistling with cold wind, they spun quickly like lightning towards the puppet’s glowing chest.

This puppet had been dormant for who knows how many years.

Its reactions were sluggish.

If this strike landed.

The puppet would likely be scrapped.

Fu Changsheng acted decisively, pointing to the Thousand Layers Peak, positioning it before the puppet.

Bang!

The two Heaven-Shocking Hammers heavily struck the Thousand Layers Peak, which, with a cracking sound, shattered with a bang in the next instant.

Li Yunxiu snorted coldly:

”A mere Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer dares to fight me, courting death!”

Li Yunxiu glanced between the puppet and Fu Changsheng, her eyes turning, immediately understanding why the puppet only attacked her.

Instantly, her body flickered.

Aiming to rush out of the palace gate.

Suddenly.

A sharp pain traveled up from her feet.

She looked down.

And unexpectedly saw that at some point.

The ground beneath her feet had turned blood-red:

”Damn it!”

Li Yunxiu’s pupils contracted.

She never expected Fu Changsheng to have an accomplice.

Yet he was quite decisive.

Immediately waved the Sword Point.

Severed her ankles completely.

Simultaneously using the blood mist, with a bang, her entire person vanished from the spot.

The puppet, with no target to attack, stood blankly on the ground.

This meant Li Yunxiu was no longer in the palace.

Fu Changsheng immediately released the Flying Ship, leaping onto it, Divine Sense quickly scanning the ground, suddenly, in the southwest direction.

A blood light soared into the sky.

That blood light came at an extremely fast speed, shooting like lightning towards Fu Changsheng’s head.

Fu Changsheng narrowly sidestepped, the blood light narrowly missing him. Even so, the Qilin Inner Armor on Fu Changsheng made cracking noises, showing faint cracks.

”What kind of attack magic is this!”

Fu Changsheng’s spine went cold.

Because.

The blood light, missing its first strike, recoiled again. This time it was just a few feet in front of him, arriving in a flash.

In a critical moment.

Fu Changsheng immediately crushed the Tier Two Flowing Light Talisman given to him by Shangguan Hongyu.

”Bang!”

The blood light collided with the protective shield formed by the Flowing Light Talisman.

A muffled hum sounded.

The blood light sunk back into the ground and disappeared:

”Courting death!”

Having wasted a precious Tier Two Talisman.

Fu Changsheng squinted his eyes.

Fully extending his Divine Sense.

At the same time, holding two Soul-Calming Talismans in his hand.

Suddenly.

The northwest direction.

The blood light reappeared.

This time, Fu Changsheng acted first. The moment the blood light emerged from the ground, the Soul-Calming Talisman shot out, colliding head-on with the blood light.

Buzz!

The blood light faded.

Li Yunxiu revealed her true form.

Unable to move in an instant!

At the same time.

Three sword shadows in the air whistled, rushing towards her the second she broke free from the Soul-Calming Talisman, three Flying Swords aiming straight at her forehead.

Li Yunxiu quickly formed a Technique.

Attempting to use the Blood Escape Technique again.

Yet thousands of strands of hair shot out from the air with a whoosh, wrapping around her tightly, like a mummy.

Rip!

Three Sword Lights pierced through her forehead.

Li Yunxiu’s eyes widened in disbelief. She could never have imagined dying at the hands of someone merely at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer!

From the beginning to the end, the battle appeared long, but in reality, it was merely a moment.

With the emergence of Divine Sense.

He found himself able to control two or three Magical Artifacts effortlessly, and the opponent’s seemingly lightning-fast actions appeared slowed tenfold in his eyes, making it easy to find the opponent’s flaw.

Bang!

The lifeless Li Yunxiu fell to the ground.

Xiaoqing and Autumn Cicada began devouring Li Yunxiu’s body from the ground.

Fu Changsheng, with a wave of his sleeve, slowly drew the Heaven-Shocking Hammer, Seven Treasures Umbrella, and storage bag from the opponent towards himself, falling into his hands.

With a quick Divine Sense scan.

He found that the Heaven-Shocking Hammer was indeed a Quasi-Second-Tier Spiritual Artifact.

No wonder it easily shattered his Thousand Layers Peak.

Moreover, the Seven Treasures Umbrella exuded an ancient aura, with intricately mysterious ancient runes engraved on it. Just one glance made Fu Changsheng’s eyes sting and water, forcing him to look away quickly:

”It seems this Seven Treasures Umbrella must be an Ancient Treasure.”

Though incomplete.

Its power is substantial.

Fu Changsheng was satisfied to pocket it.

At the same time, his Divine Sense glanced at the two storage bags in his hand, one belonging to Li Yunxiu, the other to another male cultivator killed by them.

With a Technique.

Box after box floated out.

Boxes opened.

Revealing Soul Crystals shrouded in black light.

Upon closer count.

Tier One Low-grade Soul Crystals amounting to a hundred!

Clearly.

These two, Li Yunxiu and her accomplice, specifically targeted Tier One Early-stage Ghost Soldiers.

According to the Court’s merit exchange, the Soul Crystals in his hand were enough to exchange for merits.

Originally he had no hope of winning this Noble Family Grand Competition, but now he developed ambition.

Besides the Soul Crystals.

The duo’s storage bags contained some Spirit Pills for healing and True Qi recovery, but not many, and nothing else, clearly having left their properties outside just in case.

Fu Changsheng stuffed the storage bags into his bosom.

His eyes landing on the puppet standing at the doorway.

The spirit light in the puppet’s eyes flickered on and off.

Judging from the battle strength just witnessed, this puppet seemed far from possessing Tier One Peak power.
