Chapter 002: Ambush Outside the City

Lu Tianwang waved his hand and let his subordinates carry away the body of Steward Wu, and he stood alone in front of the fishing pavilion and fell into deep thought.

The wound on the corpse was unknown to others, but he knew it. In other words, the entire Lu family is only known to him - this is the first day of Wanqiu City, Lu Tianbo, the self-created hand-to-hand combat ~ knife technique.

At the beginning, he laughed at him, as a cultivator, for even engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

Now Lu Tianbo has long become a dry bone in the grave, but this knife technique has reappeared in the world.

Suddenly, Lu Tianwang thought of Lu Ping'an.

But this little evil beast has obviously been abolished and cultivated, even if he can use this sword technique, there is no way to make the martial arts realm triple steward Wu kill with one sword! Could it be that after a genius is still a genius, there is really a genius bloodline?

It's incredible!

"So many years have passed, Lu Tianbo, why are you still ghosted!" Lu Tianwang muttered.

In the family competition that year, he lost to this so-called genius, lost face, and this humiliation was engraved into his bone marrow.

At this time, a breeze blew, pulling Lu Tianwang's thoughts back.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Qianqiu, dressed in white, walking towards the fishing pavilion not far away.

"Qianqiu, why are you here?"

"Uncle, I'm here to say goodbye to you. In a moment, I will leave for the Anglican Academy. Lu Qianqiu respectfully bowed and replied.

"Well, Qianqiu, uncle, I have no children under my knees, and I have always regarded you as my own. This time, you can get the favor of the head of the family, and give you the only place recommended by the family, you have to cherish it. ”

"Yes, uncle, don't worry, Chiaki knows. It's just that Lu Ping'an?"

Lu Qianqiu peeked at Lu Tianwang, he wanted to get a positive answer before leaving, before the eldest uncle only abolished Lu Ping'an's cultivation, he was still not at ease.

"Lu Ping'an's affairs, you don't care, I'll take care of it. I hope that in the future, you will not indulge in the calculations of these flies and dogs, and if you want to get out of this Wanqiu City and go to a bigger world, you should look further. ”

Lu Tianwang stroked his beard with one hand and preached to Lu Qianqiu earnestly.

When Lu Qianqiu heard this, he nodded and left. He knows the eldest uncle too well, and since he said that he would deal with it, then Lu Ping'an's death is not far off.

......

......

In the afternoon, the breeze is warm

Lu Ping'an stood at the gate of the Lu Mansion, stretched lazily, and then left the Lu family slowly and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion in Wanqiu City.

He had a private friendship with Tian He, the young city lord of Wanqiu City, and today he went to the city lord's mansion at Tian He's invitation.

Because he accidentally harvested a spirit beast core last night, Lu Ping'an's mood was extremely comfortable all day.

Along the way, he was still thinking about how to share his happiness with Tian He.

However, just as Lu Ping'an walked through a remote alley, bang! bang!

Several sounds of breaking the air came from behind.

"Not good!"

Lu Ping'an's scalp suddenly exploded, and he secretly said that it was not good.

On the ground, the two hidden arrows were close to Lu Ping'an's back and quickly swept by.

Lu Ping'an curled up and rolled over, avoiding the arrow feathers. In his spare light, he saw the two men in black quickly disappear into the ground.

"Escape Technique!" these three words quickly flashed in Lu Ping'an's mind.

Although the Retreat Technique is a very common technique and is not difficult to learn, it requires the realm of the magic to reach the fifth level of the Martial Dao Realm.

Unlike the Martial Dao Realm Quadruple, which can only release aura outside the body indiscriminately, after reaching the Martial Dao Realm Fivefold, you can purposefully gather the aura in the palm of your hand and use it for attacks.

To be able to slash the empty palm and make the sword slash out of the sword qi all require reaching the fifth level of the martial arts realm.

And now Lu Ping'an is only a fourfold martial arts realm, coupled with a small number of enemies, and he was unprepared before, so he hurriedly responded to the battle, and the current situation can be described as nine deaths.

"Third brother, this is different from what he said, this kid doesn't look like an ordinary person no matter how he looks at it. ”

Just as Lu Ping'an was thinking about the enemy's way out, a man in black who had just escaped underground appeared out of thin air behind the man riding a horse under the tree and asked in surprise.

"Whether it is or not, he must die!"

The man under the tree squinted his eyes lightly, staring at Lu Ping'andao.

Several of them are dead soldiers that Lu Tianwang has cultivated for many years, and the leader is called Zhang Xuan, who is the man under the tree. At this time, their faces were covered with human skin~ masks, and even their masters could not be easily recognized.

"Jin Biao, you and Lao Wu are covering underground, and I will deal with him personally. ”

After that, Zhang Xuanfei dismounted, pulled out a pair of six-sided plum blossom Emei thorns from his sleeves, and rushed towards Lu Ping'an.

The shape of the Emei thorn resembles a woman's hairpin, and it is often rumored that it is created by women, but it is not. In fact, the Emei thorn was created by the white eyebrow Taoist on Mount Emei four hundred years ago.

Short and easy to hide, the Emei Thorn is ideal for assassination, assassination, underwater combat, or when used in conjunction with the Escape Technique.

And Zhang Xuan's pair of Emei thorns are even more poisonous, under normal circumstances, as long as it is slightly contaminated, cultivators below the sixth level of the martial arts realm will definitely die.

However, just when Zhang Xuan thought he was in control, a vision happened.

"This ......"

Zhang Xuan was surprised to find that his arm, together with the Emei thorn, pierced Lu Ping'an's chest in its entirety. However, the feeling of a sharp blade piercing the flesh did not come.

"It's not good! illusion!" Zhang Xuan's scalp exploded, and he shouted eagerly, "Jin Biao, old five, come out quickly!"

"Third brother, what's wrong?" Hearing Zhang Xuan's shout, the shaved head of the fifth child quickly escaped from the ground.

"Alas, I was careless, I didn't expect him to have such a thing on him. ”

Zhang Xuan said, stomping on the ground with one foot, and with the spread of spiritual energy, the sand on the ground shook violently, and he saw a scroll rolling out of it.

Immediately, the illusion of Lu Ping'an also disappeared.

"Tsk, he is worthy of being Lu Tianbo's son, and there are really a lot of good things on him. ”

Zhang Xuan bent down to pick up the scroll and sighed, his eyes full of envy.

It is a spell scroll that can store various spells inside, and when used, it can be triggered by simply injecting a small amount of aura.

Although it was only a one-time one, the spell scroll was extremely expensive, and even the most ordinary type had to start with hundreds of yellow-rank spirit stones.

Because theoretically speaking, if the spells stored in the scroll are strong enough, then not to mention that the two sides of the battle are one or two small realms apart, even if it is a big realm, it is not impossible to defeat the strong with the weak.

Of course, a spell like that that with great lethality is extremely rare in the market, because the stronger the power of the spell, the higher the requirements for the scroll, and the cost of building it is too great.

"Third brother, what should we do now?" asked the fifth brother with a solemn expression.

Once Lu Ping'an escaped, they could not explain to their masters.

"What else can I do? chase!" Zhang Xuan replied angrily.

Although the information provided by the master was wrong, since Lu Ping'an chose to escape and also used the precious spell scroll, it means that his strength is not as good as theirs.

Therefore, as long as Lu Ping'an is intercepted before he escapes back to Lu's house, then there will still be land to maneuver.

"Third brother, there is a series of hurried footsteps in the southeast direction, I guess it is Lu Ping'an's. At this time, Jin Biao also escaped from the ground and reported to Zhang Xuan.

"Southeast?" Zhang Xuan groaned slightly and made arrangements, "Old Five, you go to squat near the city gate, and Jin Biao and I will go to pursue." Force that Lu Ping'an out of Wanqiu City. When you get to the mountains and wilderness, you can't help him!"

All the way out of Wanqiu City in the southeast, there is a large open area. When he got there, Lu Ping'an could hide and had nowhere to go.

"Jin Biao, remember not to be careless when you catch up with him later, that kid may still have a back hand, be careful of the gutter capsizing. ”

During the pursuit, Zhang Xuan did not forget to remind his companions.

Zhang Xuan, as a dead soldier carefully cultivated by Lu Tianwang, often participates in assassination operations, and can be described as experienced.

In his opinion, in addition to that illusion scroll, Lu Ping'an must have other spell scrolls on his body, otherwise this little ghost would not have slipped away under his nose just now.

In fact, Zhang Xuan's worries were completely superfluous, at this time, Lu Ping'an was already exhausted, and there was no way to get out except to run wildly.

Although Lu Ping'an's mother Duanmu Rong has mediocre bloodline qualifications, she is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Goose City, and the illusion scroll and stealth scroll that Lu Ping'an used just now are the dowry that her mother used to dowry.

On the external price list of the Hedong Chamber of Commerce, these two scrolls together are worth fifty lower-grade spirit stones, which is enough for a cultivator of the Martial Dao Realm to advance to the True Martial Realm, which shows how expensive it is!

But Lu Ping'an didn't have time to feel distressed at this time, if his life was gone, then everything would be gone. But he didn't run blindly, he saw that Zhang Xuan and the others were chasing him all the way to force him to the open space outside Wanqiu City. But beyond this clearing is the boundary of Daxu Mountain.

Daxu Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, during which monsters are rampant, the terrain is complex, although it is dangerous, but it is a good place to get rid of the pursuit. You only need to run fast enough to enter Daxu Mountain to avoid this catastrophe.

However, with Jin Biao using the Escape Technique to pursue underground, Lu Ping'an couldn't get rid of the two at all.

As time passed, the stealth technique exerted on Lu Ping'an's body gradually disappeared. Lu Ping'an's whole person finally appeared in Zhang Xuan's field of vision.

"Third brother, there is a cliff in front of him, he can't run away!" Jin Biao said excitedly from the ground to Zhang Xuan.

Jin Biao, Lao Wu and Zhang Xuan have teamed up for many years, each with their own strengths, he himself specializes in earth hearing, by releasing a small amount of aura to the surroundings, according to the fluctuations of feedback, you can detect the surrounding terrain.

Sure enough, as soon as Jin Biao's words fell, Lu Ping'an in the distance stopped running and stood in place.

"Who sent you?!"

Lu Ping'an turned to face the two people who were slowly approaching, and asked in a deep voice.

Although he was in a desperate situation, he was not afraid.

"Hehe, you are a dying person, you don't need to know so much. ”

Zhang Xuan stepped forward with a sneer, and the emei thorn in his hand glowed with a cold cold light.

Although there were some hiccups in this operation, the result was fortunately unchanged.

Seeing that Lu Ping'an had no posture to resist, Zhang Xuan thought that he was going to be killed.

But to his surprise, just when there were still a few steps between the two sides, the corners of Lu Ping'an's mouth suddenly rose, and his eyes were extremely resolute: "It's a pity that I am dead or alive, and I can't let you decide." You're just a dog raised by Lu Tianwang!"

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Ping'an jumped into the cliff without hesitation.

The cliff here is bottomless, and with the magical powers that a martial arts realm cultivator can display, the chance of surviving after falling is very slim.

But Lu Ping'an knew that if he continued to stay on the cliff, he would not even have that one-ten-thousandth hope, so he could only do this.

"Hugh go!" Seeing that Lu Ping'an chose to jump off the cliff, Zhang Xuan was horrified.

If you can't get Lu Ping'an's body, I'm afraid it won't be good to give it to the master, thinking of this, Zhang Xuan rushed to the cliff quickly, and threw the Emei thorn in his hand towards Lu Ping'an, who fell off the cliff.

"Jin Biao, you go back to report the news first, and I'll go down and check it out. ”

Zhang Xuan has always acted cautiously, pursuing the principle of seeing people in life and corpses in death, and he is ready to go around the cliff to find Lu Ping'an's body.

......

At this time, under the cliff.

"Ahem...... Thank you, my ape friend, for saving your life. ”

Lu Ping'an struggled to stand up and bowed down to thank the short-tailed spirit ape corpse that he smashed into a meat pie.

Lu Ping'an didn't expect that directly below the cliff where he fell happened to be the habitat of a group of short-tailed spirit apes.

At the last moment, he didn't care much, grabbed the nearest ape, used it as a cushion, and finally survived.

There are many spirit animals in Daxu Mountain, and like human society, there is also a division of hierarchies among spirit animals.

High-level spirit beasts live in the depths of the mountains and forests, and those that inhabit the outer areas are all non-grade spirit beasts like short-tailed spirit apes that can't even reach the Yellow Rank.

The short-tailed spirit ape has low combat effectiveness and average IQ level, so Lu Ping'an is not worried about the monkeys above rushing down to take revenge on him.

The only regret is that at the moment of falling off the cliff, the brocade box containing the spirit beast core in his arms fell out. At this time, I don't know where it fell.

But for Lu Ping'an now, it is already a blessing to be able to save his life.

"Shhh

Lu Ping'an just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, a sharp pain came from his ankle, he looked down, and his heart suddenly "clicked".

It turned out that when he jumped off the cliff, the Emei thorn thrown by Zhang Xuan scratched his skin, and the poison quenched at the tip of the thorn soaked into his body, and the wound had turned purple and black at this moment!
