Chapter 677: One Move Defeats the Enemy

her cultivators. I've been to the Wangu Mountain Range several times, and more of my companions died at the hands of ambushes by other cultivator groups than from attacks by demonic beasts." Luo Yuan...I'm going to fight you.

The Silver Orchid Thief didn't expect Lu Xia Tian to arrive so quickly. After being punched by Lu Xia Tian, he no longer dared to meet him head-on with his bare hands. He swiftly swung the long sword in his other hand towards Lu Xia Tian's neck. At the same time, he was terrified and hoped that this sword could at least force the opponent back, allowing him to regroup with others. Just from their first encounter, the Silver Orchid Thief had already sensed from Lu Xia Tian's powerful strength that he was definitely no match for him.

"Elder Lu, be careful!" Cao Xier originally thought that she might not escape this time, after all, even her father couldn't protect her now. She didn't expect Lu Xiaottian to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Last time Lu Xiaottian left, Cao Sheng had invited him to her Golden Core ceremony. However, Lu Xiaottian refused on the grounds that he had something important to attend to.

Cao Xier, though dejected, had no other choice. She had just successfully formed her golden elixir and was going with Cao Sheng to retrieve something when they unexpectedly encountered several powerful enemies who blocked their path. Even her father was held back by a ferocious old man. Her uncle was also caught in a fierce battle. Originally, Cao Xier had given up hope, but at this moment, Lu Xiaottian unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere, just like he had saved her from the Silver Orchid Bandit decades ago. He made his move without much fanfare, effortlessly forcing the hideous Silver Orchid Bandit to retreat.

Cao Xi'er felt an unexplainable surge of joy. But her whole heart couldn't help but rise with apprehension. She saw Lu Xiaoteng reach out and grab the Soft Sword of the Silver Orchid Bandit directly. She had witnessed the prowess of the Silver Orchid Bandit's swordsmanship before, perhaps not as powerful as Lu Xiaoteng, but to meet the opponent's long sword with bare hands... Cao Xi'er couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Looking for death." A flash of surprise crossed Silver Orchid Thief's face, but it was quickly replaced by a ferocious and unrestrained rage. The magical power channeled into his soft sword intensified once more.

As the soft sword was about to strike Lu Xiaitian's palm, its blade glinted menacingly. Even with Lu Xiaitian's seventh-level cultivator's defense, it would be difficult to withstand this strike. However, in the blink of an eye, a layer of ancient silver armor rapidly spread at a visible speed, tightly enveloping Lu Xiaitian's hand and forming an ancient silver gauntlet.

With a clang, the soft sword landed on Lu Xia Tian's palm. Lu Xia Tian reached out and grasped the soft sword directly. With his right hand, he struck out like lightning, aiming for the Silver Orchid Bandit's chest.

With a deafening boom, the Silver Orchid Bandit’s body flew through the air like a broken kite, spewing blood and smashing into several trees as thick as a few people could hug.

Lu Xiaitian's sword in his hand felt the pain of its master, twisting and struggling crazily.

Lu Xiaoteng let out a cold snort, and a layer of armor also rose on his right hand. He clasped his hands together, grabbing the long sword and twisting it like a hemp rope. At this time, without the infusion of mana, this Dan Yuan magic weapon was no match for Lu Xiaoteng at all. However, under Lu Xiaoteng's fierce twist, the long sword let out a mournful cry, its brilliance greatly reduced, becoming shapeless.

The Yinlan Grand Thief tumbled across the ground, his heart pounding with terror. He didn't dare linger a moment longer, not even to retrieve his most prized spiritual artifact which had been severely damaged. He fled in desperation towards where Cao Sheng had previously stood. Faced with imminent death, the Yinlan Grand Thief's potential exploded, reaching an unprecedented speed.

"Are you alright" After his physical strength broke through to the seventh level, coupled with the如意 Battle Armor, its power was indeed extraordinary. Especially in this close-quarters combat, facing ordinary cultivators was undoubtedly advantageous. Lu Xia Tian had no great interest and directly threw the long sword aside like scrap iron. He glanced at Cao Xi er and said,

"Lu, senior brother, I..." Cao Xier's eyes welled up without a reason, tears swirling in her eyes.

"Put on a piece of clothing, your father's side is probably in big trouble. Let's go take a look." Lu Xia Tian's eyes swept over Cao Xi er for a moment, then instantly retracted from Cao Xi er's snow-white skin, reminding Cao Xi er with a sentence.

“Oh, good!” Caoxier saw Lu Xiaoteng turn away, and her heart sank. But after Lu Xiaoteng’s reminder, she quickly came to her senses. Her father was probably in danger, otherwise he wouldn't just sit idly by while his daughter was bullied without coming over.

"Lu Senior, he's just ahead." Caoxi'er took a large cloak at random from her storage pouch and wrapped it around herself before flying towards where Caosheng was.

At this time, only the upper half of the life-threatening infant monk's body was visible, with a black aura swirling around his waist and below. However, it was burning fiercely, battling with Cao Sheng, and his spirit beast, a ninth-order Diyou dog. At this moment, Cao Sheng seemed to be in a difficult situation, with a bloodstain on the corner of his mouth, while the ninth-order Quiyou dog also had several scales falling off, injured not lightly.

“What’s wrong with you” The ruthless monk pressed Cao Sheng, having the upper hand. Suddenly, he saw Yin Lan Da Dao fleeing miserably, his brow furrowed, and shouted at Yin Lan Da Dao. With his sharp eyesight, he could naturally see that with Cao Xi'er’s abilities, it was impossible to be Yin Lan Da Dao’s opponent. It was just that this Yin Lan Da Dao seemed too defeated, a moment ago he was arrogant and now he looked like he only had half a life left, struggling to survive.

“The other side sent reinforcements! Help, help me!” The Silver Lan thief cried out in panic.

“Trash!” If this weren't a critical moment, Yiso Mingying's temper would have had him strike down the Silver Orchid Thief with a single palm. He let out a sharp screech, black qi swirling around him, and the infant skulls surrounding Cao Sheng wailed as they lunged towards him.

Cao Sheng's golden jade chopper whirled through the air, slashing out beams of blade energy that darted left and right. Cao Sheng was drenched in sweat, his heart filled with worry. This life-taking infant monk truly lived up to his reputation, even more formidable than the rumors suggested. He had already been struggling, but now, worried about Cao Xier's situation, he fell into the monk's trap. He was struck by a blow, and if not for his spirit beast, the powerful ninth-level Diyou Hound, he would have been in dire straits.

"Old Ghost, if I hadn't been distracted, you wouldn't have gotten the upper hand so quickly. Even now, wanting to subdue me won't be that easy." Cao Sheng recalled Huang Yu Zhai with one hand and struck out a Thunder-type spirit talisman. With a whooshing sound, the enormous lightning also brought considerable trouble to the Life-Taking Infant Monk. Cao Sheng sometimes rode on the back of Di You Dog, sometimes rose from its back, constantly repelling the baby skulls that came biting.

Although this weeping phantom ring is under the control of a deadly infant monk, it is extremely vicious. The black qi it emits can also disturb people's minds. Although Cao Sheng is not in immediate danger under the attack of these infant skulls, he is still exhausted from defending himself, and his mana consumption is considerable. Just as he was worried, he noticed two figures chasing Yin Lan, the silver-robed thief, one after the other. Cao Sheng was overjoyed and exclaimed with joy, "Haha, it's you brothers! You are just in time. If you had come a moment later, I might have really fallen into the hands of that old ghost, the deadly infant monk." land on you. That blood is unknown, and it can corrode protective treasures. A drop or two might not be a big deal, but once there are many, the protective treasure will be damaged. The evil qi insid...
