The sudden change caused the originally tense atmosphere to calm down. Lu Chengping and I didn't dare to act rashly, and quietly waited for the arrival of that person.
This also allowed me to heave a sigh of relief. At that moment, I was at an absolute disadvantage. No matter who it was, as long as it wasn't Lu Chengping's people, it would be beneficial to me.
Using this interval, I sped up the circulation of Dao energy in my body to heal my injuries.
Half a minute passed in the blink of an eye. Very quickly, that person arrived in the courtyard and stopped. The surging Dao energy didn't restrain itself, and became clearer.
Although Zhang Bingcheng's cultivation was high, his sensitivity to Dao energy was far inferior to Lu Chengping's and I. At that moment, he finally noticed the situation. His expression changed, and he hurriedly ran to the window to look outside. Then, his body froze, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
Before I could react, the person that had stopped in the courtyard seemed to have seen Zhang Bingcheng. He scoffed coldly and jumped to the second floor. Just like me, he entered through the broken window.
When he entered, both Lu Chengping and I were stunned.
The person that came was Zhang Kanwen!
No one expected that Zhang Kanwen, who had escaped with serious injuries and had been searched for half a month by our two groups, would appear here unscathed. Moreover, judging from his appearance, his Qi of the Way was even stronger than before. Not only was he not injured, but his cultivation level seemed to have improved.
At that moment, Zhang Bingcheng finally recovered from his shock. He pointed at Zhang Kanwen and revealed a weird smile. He said, "I thought that I would only catch a fish tonight. I didn't expect to catch a rabbit along the way. Little bastard, I couldn't find you after looking for so long. I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to me."
His voice was filled with excitement, but Zhang Kanwen didn't care about him at all. He raised his head to look at me, his face filled with disbelief. He asked me, "Why are you here?"
"It's a long story …" I smiled wryly and didn't mention it. I hurriedly asked him, "How are your injuries? Have you recovered?"
This was what I was most worried about. Zhang Kanwen was at the middle stage of Glorious Memory. Even if he couldn't defeat Lu Chengping, he could at least fight. On the plane, I had already exhausted a lot of Lu Chengping. If the two of us worked together, we might be able to defeat Lu Chengping.
Unknowingly, Zhang Kanwen's beard had been shaved off. His clean and square chin looked really determined. It was obvious that he understood what I meant. He glanced at Lu Chengping before replying, "My injuries have all healed. Although this guy is also in the middle stage of Glorious Memory, he is really strong, even stronger than me. Zhou Yi, I will tell you the details later. Now that the two of us are working together to kill this guy, we will definitely thank you in the future!"
He probably didn't know what had happened in the past few days. I stood up and nodded. "A few days ago, I took back the Yin Yang Yama Brush and saved Master Zhao's soul. I already know what happened. Today, I came here with the same purpose as you. Big Brother Zhang, you don't need to thank me.
Let's do it together. "
Zhang Kanwen's eyes lit up when he heard me mention Zhao Laozi's soul. However, it wasn't the time to discuss this. He suppressed his desire to ask and nodded heavily. He took out a yellow paper-like item and said, "Let's do it together!"
As soon as he said that, he lifted his foot and stepped forward. At the same time, a heroic voice suddenly rang out from his mouth.
"Righteousness of Heaven and Earth!"
This was the first line of the [Song of Righteousness]. I didn't know why Zhang Kanwen would suddenly recite this line, but after he stepped down, a thick white smoke suddenly appeared around his body. This smoke rose from his body, and in the blink of an eye, it swept through the entire room, forming a gust of wind that rushed towards Lu Chengping.
With such a great momentum, I could immediately recognize that Zhang Kanwen was also using the Footwork Aura technique. From the looks of it, it seemed to be even more powerful and ferocious than Lu Chengping's "Gangyu's Seven Steps".
Seizing such a good opportunity, I called out to Tong Tong. Then, I quickly condensed the Pure Yang Ye Fire on my fingertips and threw it at him.
At the same time, Tong Tong once again condensed a dark black talisman in his hands. With a flick of his hand, the black talisman instantly approached Lu Chengping's body. After the black talisman, the two black silk threads in Tong Tong's hands also followed. As they hovered, they formed a black blade that followed closely behind the black talisman and slashed horizontally at Lu Chengping's neck.
In an instant, numerous spells attacked at the same time. Lu Chengping was forced into a panic. He hastily used the Footwork Aura, forming a yellow light screen in front of him that barely blocked Zhang Kanwen's thick smoke. However, after that, his Footwork Aura screen broke with a "kacha" sound. At the same time, my Pure Yang Ye Fire and Tong Tong's black talisman followed. Lu Chengping couldn't react in time. There was a loud "peng" sound from his body. Then, half of his body was ignited in flames while the other half was covered in black ice. It was exactly the same as Lu Zifeng.
However, Lu Chengping was not Lu Zifeng after all. The flames and the black frost only appeared for a moment before a strong Qi of the Way surged out of his body. It suddenly exploded from the inside out, directly blasting the pure Yang Hellfire and the black frost away from his body. However, at the same time, he seemed to have been seriously injured. Countless traces of blood seeped out of his tattered clothes at this time.
I originally didn't stand a chance against Lu Chengping. The reason why I was able to injure him was mainly because Zhang Kanwen's Footwork Aura had attracted all of his attention, forcing him to use his full power. That was how I found the opportunity to injure him.
However, this was not the end of it. The two sharp blades formed by the black silk threads were still following behind. Hidden in the night, they directly slashed at his neck.
At that moment, Lu Chengping was at the end of his rope. He forcefully extended his hand to block the attack. In the end, the sharp blade cut off a few of his fingers and continued to slash towards his neck.
Just as the blade was about to reach his neck, an extremely bright light suddenly rose from Lu Chengping's chest.
It was late at night. Ever since I had snuck in earlier, everything that had happened after had happened in the darkness. At this moment, the extremely bright light suddenly flashed, causing everyone to squint their eyes.
After I got used to the light, I raised my head to take a look. The two eerie black blades in Tong Tong Tong's eyes had already disappeared. Lu Chengping's body was wrapped in what seemed to be an enormous cocoon of light. He stood there and stared at me and Zhang Kanwen with a dark gaze.
At that moment, I had already directed my Dao energy and all of the dark green energy in my body into the Yin Yang Yama Brush. The enormous black, white, and green Yin Yang fish rose and spiraled towards Lu Chengping.
Strangely, Lu Chengping looked at the Yin Yang fish and didn't move at all. He allowed the Yin Yang fish to wrap around him.
Even though I was only at the Acupuncture Nine Apertures Realm, after adding in the dark green energy, the Yin Yang fish's power was even greater than before. Even though it wasn't as strong as Lu Chengping and Zhang Kanwen's Footwork Aura, it definitely posed a threat to those at the Glory of Consciousness realm.
I had originally thought that the circling Yin Yang fish would heavily injure him, but who knew that after being wrapped around by the Yin Yang fish, the cocoon of light around his body was abnormally hard. No matter how the Yin Yang fish tore at him, Lu Chengping stood there without moving at all.
I was shocked. Just what kind of magical artifact was his cocoon of light to have such terrifying defensive power?
Right at that moment, Zhang Kanwen finally made his move again. He took another step forward, and his heroic voice rang out once more.
"Chaotic Bestowal Manifold!"
Following that voice, numerous black sesame-like particles suddenly appeared in the air. They flew up from all directions and charged towards Lu Chengping. They tore through the air and let out countless screeches as they smashed into the cocoon of light around Lu Chengping's body.
This time, his cocoon of light finally changed. There were countless small holes densely packed on the surface, but Lu Chengping, who was standing inside, wasn't injured at all. He looked at us with a disdainful smile.
Zhang Kanwen finally stopped and turned to look at me. We both frowned at the same time.
Lu Chengping was a member of the Lu family after all, so he definitely had some unusual magical artifacts on him. It seemed that this cocoon of light was his life-saving technique.
Even if Zhang Kanwen and I had the absolute advantage by joining hands, from the current situation, we didn't have the ability to break this cocoon of light.
Seeing that we had stopped, Lu Chengping opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something. However, right at that moment, Zhang Bingcheng, who had been standing next to us, suddenly jumped out of the window with the intention of running away.
This person had chosen a good time. Zhang Kanwen and I had completely focused on Lu Chengping, so we hadn't noticed him. However, it was a pity that Tong Tong had been standing not far from him.
After he jumped out of the window, Tong Tong didn't wait for my order. He turned into a ray of light that directly flashed out of the window. He waved his hands. He didn't even follow outside the window, and the black thread in his hands directly captured Zhang Bingcheng.
When he returned, his face didn't have the arrogant and resentful expression from before. Instead, he wore a pitiful expression as he begged Zhang Kanwen for mercy.
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhang Kanwen casually waved his hand with an expression of disgust. His Qi directly sealed his mouth and nose, so that he couldn't make a sound.
At that moment, Lu Chengping finally spoke. He didn't have a shred of fear as he stared at Zhang Kanwen and said, "Half a month ago, you weren't my opponent. Now, your power has surpassed mine … No wonder Uncle sent me to Meizhou to steal your Wen Shan's inheritance. It seems that your Wen Shan's inheritance isn't ordinary!"
After saying that, he turned to look at me. He snorted coldly and said, "I miscalculated today, but I've offended the Lu family. We will meet again one day. See you then!"
After saying that, he slowly stood up. Just like Zhang Bingcheng, he walked to the window and jumped out.
This time, Zhang Kanwen and I stood there. Neither of us made a move, and we just watched as he escaped.
