Eternal Life: Talent Grows with Age-Chapter 337 - 208: Fire Rain

Maybe the person backing them really isn’t that strong. If that’s the case, killing them would be a good thing for the Zhu Family.

Too bad Lu Chang’sheng is way too well hidden; even now, he hasn’t fully shown his position, so the Zhu Family cultivators can only guess and attack a general area based on their assumptions.

"It worked!"

Seeing the Black Water Profound Snake puppet beast slow down, the Zhu Family cultivator’s heart leaped with joy.

When dealing with Puppetry Technique, you never go after the puppet beast itself, but the cultivator controlling it. His latest move made him realize the cultivator behind the Black Water Profound Snake wasn’t as highly skilled as everyone thought.

If they had late-stage Qi Cultivation power, there’s no way their control would be affected.

"Hopefully, he’s dead!"

The Fire Rain Spell is powerful but drains a ton of magical power. At most, he can cast it two more times before he’s completely spent.

Unfortunately, the Black Water Profound Snake recovered its agility in barely a moment and wrapped itself around him.

Li Nangua let out a sigh of relief. She still didn’t know where Chang’sheng was, but as long as the Black Water Profound Snake could keep fighting, it meant Chang’sheng was fine.

Thinking of this, she glared at the opponent, eyes blazing with killing intent. Her figure blurred, and the blade in her hand suddenly elongated to over ten meters amidst furious vibrations.

Even the blade itself thickened dramatically, and in the empty air, fierce winds began to rage.

The Zhu Family cultivator didn’t dare search for Lu Chang’sheng’s position—he hurriedly activated a light shield over his body.

Clanging noises echoed one after another.

Beneath the massive blade, countless invisible blades of force shot out, colliding against the shield.

The Zhu Family cultivator’s expression changed rapidly.

The Black Water Profound Snake barreled in, crawling along the ground.

There was a violent crash, and the cultivator—shield and all—was sent flying, only to be slammed down midair by the snake’s enormous tail.

After this barrage of brutal attacks, his magical power was quickly depleted, and Li Nangua’s ten-meter blade slashed right through his body, killing him on the spot.

Zhu Ren and the others weren’t fast enough to help. Fang Yuan, Huang Feng, and their crew realized Li Nangua’s group was at a crucial moment, so they quit holding back and threw themselves into blocking the three Zhu Family cultivators at late-stage Qi Cultivation.

Paving the way for Lu Chang’sheng and Li Nangua.

"Late-stage Qi Cultivation, huh!"

Staring at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, Lu Chang’sheng felt a kind of dazedness in his eyes. The other cultivators viewed it as a major feat, but to him, it only spoke to the fragility of life.

Even late-stage Qi Cultivators struggle to protect themselves! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I have to reach Foundation Establishment."

At Fuyun Mountain, Foundation Establishment cultivators are top-tier. Unless your luck is absolutely abysmal—like Master Baiyun, who had a vicious beast set its sights on him—you normally wouldn’t die so easily.

Plus, when facing Foundation Establishment cultivators, even the Immortal Sect treats you with more respect. Like Master Lu earlier, who used an excuse to leave before the recruitment; even the Supreme Profound Sect didn’t push back.

"Cultivators fighting is insanely dangerous. My cultivation’s too weak; I’d better not get too involved."

With that thought, he leapt onto the rooftop and waved to Nangua.

He didn’t want Nangua getting caught up in danger, so he kept her close to protect him, then directed the Black Water Profound Snake to the next Zhu Family cultivator at late-stage Qi Cultivation for the hunt.

With Nangua by his side, he felt at ease.

And with the Black Water Profound Snake, wiping out the old Zhu Family clan leader and crew was just a matter of time.

As time passed, the low-level cultivators of several families finally arrived and started to surround and kill the Zhu Family’s forces.

Lu Chang’sheng had already tipped off some folks ahead of time—don’t attack anyone who came from Great Yuan territory.

So he didn’t worry about Yu Hai and his group getting caught up in it.

The Zhu Family’s territory houses thousands of cultivators. There’s no way this handful could wipe out the whole clan, so the priority was taking down the Zhu Family’s direct lineage.

And the direct lineage was all holed up inside the Zhu Family Mansion—the fiercest fighting was here. Comparatively, other areas weren’t attacked nearly as much.

Destroying a family outright isn’t something that happens quickly.

As long as the high-level cultivators of a family are killed off, the family loses its backbone.

So the three allied families focused their efforts on wiping out the Zhu Family’s cultivators at mid- and high Qi Cultivation stages.

Soon, it was noon.

The battle among late-stage Qi Cultivators had shifted to a far-off spot.

Lu Chang’sheng didn’t follow. His magical power was already spent.

He and Nangua had taken down one Zhu Family cultivator at late-stage Qi Cultivation, and drained another of a lot of magical power. That record alone was enough to earn him a hefty share in this bloodbath.

"Chang’sheng, here’s that guy’s Treasure Vault Immortal Insect."

Nangua walked over carrying an Immortal Insect.

She made sure to avoid the crowd.

Lu Chang’sheng smiled. "Find anything good?"

"Nothing too special," she said.

"Then just hang on to it for now."

The Treasure Vault Immortal Insect imprint from a late-stage Qi Cultivator would take him a while to erase, but for Nangua—who was also late-stage Qi Cultivation—it’d be much easier.

In just a few breaths as she walked over, Nangua wiped out the Treasure Vault Immortal Insect’s imprint.

"Shame it doesn’t have that Fire Rain Spell!"

Lu Chang’sheng was pretty interested in that Spell. With that kind of power, it had to be at least top-grade, first-class.

Might even be a supreme-quality magic.

Fire Magic was definitely a good match for his attribute.

Too bad, spells like that are usually stored on Jade Scrolls—once you’ve learned it, you destroy the scroll.

As for spirit stones and materials, there was quite a stash, but not enough for Lu Chang’sheng to break the agreement he’d made with Fang Yuan and the others before.
