My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 95: A Little Trump Card

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The demonic roc swooped down. The five people below had different reactions.

The immortal powers of the two Perfected Immortal elders surged. As they strengthened the array formation, they were prepared to fight with all their might.

Youqin Xuanya immediately rushed to Li Changshou and Ling’e’s side. The sword on her back was unsheathed and protected the three of them.

As for Ling’e and Li Changshou...

There were some ripples under their feet that looked like water. Half an inch of their legs had already sunk into the ground, and they were prepared to... use Earth Escape to flee anytime...

Screech—

The demonic roc was still thousands of feet in the sky when it suddenly shouted. It spread its wings, and dozens of long nails flew out from its wings that were dozens of feet long and towards the array formation below!

Li Changshou immediately told Youqin Xuanya to keep the situation stable.

Youqin Xuanya held the porcelain bottle in her left hand, which would decide their fates. She raised her right hand and pointed her sword in front of her. Her simple tresses danced gently as she looked up at the demonic roc.

She could sense that after that demonic roc, there would be an even more terrifying existence...

Even though she was only at the Dao Requital realm and had yet to become an immortal, there was no fear in Youqin Xuanya’s gaze.

She had no choice but to take a gamble!

Ling’e looked at Li Changshou, her eyes filled with admiration, as if she were saying, “Senior Sister Youqin is so suave.”

“Li Changshou” smiled calmly and did not reply. His gaze landed on the Heaven Immortal in the sky...

That fellow was surprisingly difficult to deal with.

As the long spikes landed on the ground, the two Perfected Immortals attacked together. The array formation’s light wall started to tremble. It was on the verge of breaking.

After all, it was a temporary defensive array.

The demonic roc realized that it had already tested the strength of the array formation below, and hence let out a cold laugh...

It raised its head and looked at the old Daoist priest in the sky. It lowered its head and dashed down once again!

Li Changshou’s voice entered Youqin Xuanya’s ears at this moment.

“Junior Sister, get ready.”

Youqin Xuanya was shocked and focused on observing the situation.

When the demonic roc rushed over, she shouted softly, “Elder, please retreat!”

The two elders who were Perfected Immortals retracted their immortal powers at the same time. The array formation’s light wall above them disappeared instantly!

There were no obstacles in front of the demonic roc . It charged down ferociously, and with its surging demonic power, it attacked the two elders who were in charge of external affairs and were already injured!

At that moment, the two elders had broken out into cold sweat...

At that moment, Youqin Xuanya was still very calm. Facing the strong pressure of a demon in the Perfected Immortal realm, she found an opportunity to pull open the cork and wrap the porcelain bottle with her Dharma powers...

In that situation, she did not tremble at all even though she was only a junior Daoist.

When the demonic roc rushed towards the two Perfected Immortal elders, Youqin Xuanya hollered according to Li Changshou’s instructions and then, she threw out the porcelain bottle in her hand!

“Elder, retreat!”

The two elders immediately dodged left and right. However, they simultaneously recalled something and turned their heads to look. In an instant...

The four old men’s eyes widened, and their eyeballs almost popped out!

The poisonous pill was meant to be stimulated using immortal power. It would then silently injure the enemy. It was not meant for smashing others like that!

The ‘s stared at Youqin Xuanya with a hint of contempt in its bird-like eyes. A wave of demonic power swept towards the porcelain bottle, in a bid to send the poisonous pill inside flying...

At this moment!

Flames exploded behind the porcelain bottle. Youqin Xuanya’s flying sword had already struck the porcelain bottle!

The porcelain bottle exploded instantly, and the poisonous pill inside exploded as well. The poison was dispersed in all directions!

The demonic power from the demonic roc had mysteriously disappeared...

The two elders opened their mouths in shock...

The demonic roc was still more than a hundred feet away from the ground. However, its body trembled and it fell to the ground. It knocked into the edge of the array formation and lay there motionlessly.

Uh...

This works too?

The two elders and even Youqin Xuanya were surprised.

The three of them felt similar emotions.

The poison pill that Elder Wan Linyun refined is indeed impressive!

However, the actual situation was...

It was naturally impossible to throw the bottle to release the poison in it. Li Changshou had only done it secretly.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic power released by the demonic roc had been transformed by the Paper Effigy No. 3 with the ‘Human’ character written on it.

The poisonous pill exploded, and only weak poisonous properties spread.

The thing that charmed the demonic roc was the drug that Li Changshou had secretly released.

Li Changshou had made that arrangement for the sake of ;letting everyone remember that Youqin Xuanya had thrown out the poisonous pill that made everyone faint.

The drug that he had secretly released was not only enough to take down the ...

The two elders closest to the demonic roc immediately felt dizzy. Their bodies swayed as they slowly laid down.

Elder Tian held his last breath of immortal power and looked at Youqin Xuanya. He could not help but smile bitterly.

“Xuanya... you don’t just throw poison like that...”

With a few clangs, Youqin Xuanya’s flying sword fell from the sky. Before she could reply, she slowly closed her eyes. Her body was weak, and she fell from the sky...

Ling’e took two steps forward and quickly hugged her senior sister. She immediately used Earth Escape to hide.

However, Ling’e suddenly felt her vision turn dark. She hugged Youqin Xuanya and fell to the ground...

Senior Brother, you are indeed...

Ling’e sighed softly in her heart. She fainted, but she was not worried.

Li Changshou’s body swayed as well. He held his head and groaned twice. Then, he slowly fell to the ground, right beside his junior.

The demon, four people, and the paper effigy were swaying on the hillside.

At first glance, there were indeed no flaws. It was just that Youqin Xuanya did not know how to release poison and had been drugged by her own drug.

However, the old Heaven Immortal Daoist in the sky sneered when he saw that.

He actually... did not land directly.

The old Daoist priest took out a huge seal and a pearl. He first raised the pearl and let it float above his head. It emitted a green light that enveloped him.

Following that, the seal landed on the spot where they were.

The huge seal expanded in the wind. In an instant, it became hundreds of feet wide, and the treasures around it flickered.

With the aid of the Heaven Immortal realm’s cultivation level, it seemed as if the entire valley was going to collapse!

In a dark and narrow corner, Li Changshou’s lips twitched.

This old Daoist priest was clearly in the Heaven Immortal realm. Furthermore, the five people below had already been drugged by them. Yet, they still refused to come down and instead used their Dharma treasures to injure the enemy from afar...

Li Changshou sighed.

I actually met someone from the same sect. Ahem, I actually met such a difficult opponent!

Fortunately, I had made sufficient preparations.

When he saw the huge seal rapidly crashing down, it brought about various airwaves, stirring up the surging Primordial Energy. Although it was powerful, it was slightly pulsating.

Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He took a glance at the Sensing Stone and looked at the cave entrance deep in the valley.

His immortal sense enveloped a radius of three hundred kilometers, searching for any other dangers.

The paper effigy who was lying on the ground was motionless.

However, his sleeve, which was made of spirit beast hides, was opened silently. A few Jade Frogs jumped out and looked around curiously. Then, they waited by the side in boredom.

At that moment, a skinny old Daoist priest emerged from the grass nearby.

The old Daoist priest did not say a word. He took out a square “chessboard” and threw it into the air.

Seventy-two ‘Miniature Array Foundations’ flew out from it.

The array foundations were linked together, and spiritual energy flowed inside, forming a wall of light!

The huge seal crashed down!

However, the light wall only shook slightly. Not only did it firmly stop the seal, it even blocked it.

This chessboard was not an ordinary array disc, nor was it a Dharma artifact.

It was a solid step that Li Changshou had taken on the path to the miniaturization of the array formation...

One small step.

However, the drawback of the miniaturization of the array formation was that the basic spiritual power of the array formation was insufficient.

Although the array formation managed to block the seal’s attack, it quickly dimmed and dissipated on its own. The array foundation’s spiritual energy was exhausted and it returned to the chessboard on its own...

It was really a single-use protective array formation.

Overall, the effect of the miniature array formation was not as good as a powerful defensive Dharma treasure, but it still bought enough time.

The moment the array formation was activated, a few large hands emerged from the ground and dragged the unconscious elders, Ling’e, and Youqin Xuanya underground.

Even the Elder of the Hundred Mortal Hall, who was quite familiar with Li Changshou, could not escape the fate of having his hair pulled out by the ruthless hands.

There was no choice. Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators had long, flowing hair. That part of their bodies... was the most convenient to grab.

Paper Effigy No. 3 was the only one left on the ground.

As for who the old Daoist priest who appeared to save his life was...

Currently, Li Changshou had more than three types of paper effigies. There were actually five types in total.

The types were Heaven, earth, human, god, and ghost.

[God] Paper Effigy: One of Li Changshou’s trump cards. It was specially used for high-end fights that involved magical powers. It was accompanied by Li Changshou’s main body. Its quality was similar to that of the ‘Heaven’ paper effigy but it had many trump cards.

The old Daoist priest who had suddenly appeared was the ‘God’ Paper Effigy No.1.

He stimulated the aura fluctuations of the late-stage Perfected Immortal realm and his immortal power surged. He faced the old Heaven Immortal Daoist above him.

The old Heaven Immortal Daoist in the air focused his gaze.

He held the Treasure Seal in his hand and a green pearl above his head. As his sleeves fluttered, he flew towards the old Daoist priest.

The ‘God’ Paper Effigy No.1 held a horsetail whisk Dharma treasure, but the silver silk from the horsetail whisk was smeared with the Heaven Immortal Poison...

The ‘God’ Paper Effigy No.1′ let out a low cry and flew into the sky. He mumbled something in his mouth, and blue lightning was brewing in his left palm.

The two old Daoist masters were still thousands of feet away from each other. They directly sacrificed their treasures and cast their spells!

Above him, the treasure seal was smashed horizontally. The old Heaven Immortal’s eyes shone with a sanguine glow. A purple sword appeared in his hand, which emitted rays of divine light.

The old Daoist priest below was wrapped in immortal power. His movements were elusive and difficult to capture. The divine light in his palm was released, and he was using the ‘Heavenly Sun and Lightning’!

A huge battle broke out in the sky. Divine lightning shot out, treasures flew around, swords swayed, and old branches shook!

The old Daoist priest of the Heaven Immortal realm soon discovered that although his opponent who had appeared out of nowhere had an aura of the Perfected Immortal realm, the power and quality of his spells and immortal powers seemed to be stronger than his own...

He was unable to take down the Perfected Immortal!

The horsetail whisk released a few strands of silver silk, which were like silver needles, and they secretly pierced the old Heaven Immortal’s neck.

The pearl on the old Daoist priest’s head trembled slightly. Wisps of green light scattered and melted the silver needle.

Is that...

In the darkness, Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and sensed a familiar aura.

This green pearl...

It’s a poison-repelling pearl refined from the Red Yang Poisonous Dragon pearl!

Good stuff...

With this treasure, the effects of my poison would be greatly reduced.

However, Li Changshou was not in a hurry. His attention was focused on the ‘God’ Paper Effigy No.1, and he was calculating the consumption of immortal power of the paper effigy.

The horsetail whisk in the paper effigy’s hand was like a brush as it wrote the golden words.

Mystical abilities: Writes Sutras.

In an instant, dozens of golden words flew around the lightning.

The old Daoist priest from the Heaven Immortal realm felt a sense of pressure. When he was struck by the words, his immortal powers surged.

However, after fighting for a while, the old Daoist priest was already slightly injured...

Although the ‘God’ Paper Effigy No.1’s immortal power had only been depleted by 20%, he had deliberately exposed a flaw. He was hit by the treasure seal and his entire body was trembling. His body fell into a forest below.

The paper Daoist had immortal power to protect himself. To a certain extent, it could make up for the flaws in his defense. However, it would only consume more immortal power.

In the sky, the bloodstained Puppet that was in the Heaven Immortal realm finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The old Daoist priest who initially wanted to take advantage of the enemy’s weakness, quickly chased after him.

Although Li Changshou wanted to give it a try as well, to see if he could use the ‘God’ paper effigy, which had many trump cards, to challenge an ordinary mid-stage Heaven Immortal cultivator, fights involving magical power were not child’s play.

He had to end it fast.

In the trunks of a few large trees in the forest, three figures, who had just arrived, slowly opened their eyes. The miniature array discs in their sleeves had been activated by immortal power...
