Chapter 126: Battle with Lantern
Taoist Master Ran Deng was slightly stunned, then his face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He boasted of being a quasi-saint, and was respected and admired by everyone wherever he went. But now he was rejected so directly by a junior, so he naturally felt uneasy.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Taoist Master Ran Deng said "OK" three times in a row, his voice filled with anger:
"You are such a sharp-tongued kid. I thought you would understand things and follow me obediently, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant!"
Luo Shu heard this, his expression remained unchanged, he just said lightly:
"What's the point of saying so much? If you want to take action, just do it! You people of the Chan Sect are all the same. You rely on the saint's disciples and act like you are the boss and he is the second."
As soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, the Taoist Master Ran Deng heard this, his face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted:
"How dare you, you bastard! You! How dare you insult the Saints' sect like this!"
The sound exploded like thunder among the fairy mountains, as if it was going to pierce Luoshu's eardrums.
However, Luo Shu seemed to be unaffected. He still looked at the Taoist Master Ran Deng calmly, as if to say:
"I dare you! What can you do to me?"
These words were like a sharp thorn, piercing deeply into the heart of Master Ran Deng.
He widened his eyes in anger and let out a low roar from his throat:
"You are so arrogant! Today I will let you know the consequences of provoking me!"
As the roar sounded, the aura around Master Ran Deng suddenly surged, and a powerful pressure pressed towards Luo Shu like a mountain.
However, Luo Shu seemed not to feel the pressure. He still looked at Master Ran Deng calmly with a disdainful smile on his lips.
"You are just a junior from the third generation of Jiejiao, how dare you be so arrogant!"
The Taoist Master Ran Deng shouted angrily, and with a flash of his body, he rushed towards Luo Shu.
Randeng learned from Guangchengzi and others that Luoshu had a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and his cultivation level was at the early stage of Daluo Jinxian.
Moreover, his cultivation level of the early stage of Daluo Jinxian can suppress Guangchengzi, which shows that he is indeed extraordinary.
However, I am a powerful person in the early stage of quasi-saint, and I don’t believe that Luo Shu can easily take on my attack.
However, Randeng would not take it lightly, so he immediately summoned his companion spiritual treasure, the Coffin Lamp.
The coffin lamp is one of the three lamps of heaven, earth and man. It is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and contains the ghost fire of the underworld, which is extremely powerful.
As the Taoist Master Ran Deng waved his hand, the coffin lamp floated above his head, emitting a faint light.
"go!!!"
Taoist Master Ran Deng shouted loudly, and the ghost fire in the coffin lamp suddenly burned fiercely, forming a series of blazing flames.
These flames kept changing shapes in the air, like nimble fire snakes, launching a fierce attack on Luo Shu.
Seeing this scene, Luo Shu did not dare to be careless at all. He knew that the Taoist Master Ran Deng had profound cultivation, and the power of this Netherworld Ghost Fire was also extraordinary.
So he quickly took out his top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Nine Tribulations Sword.
This sword exudes a sharp sword intent, as if it can cut through all obstacles.
“Well done!!!”
Luo Shu shouted loudly, waving the Nine Tribulations Sword in his hand and engaging in a fierce battle with those Netherworld ghost fires.
His figure shuttled and dodged between the flames, narrowly avoiding the flaming attacks each time.
For a moment, the sky was filled with flames and sword energy.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.
Although the Netherworld Ghost Fire of the Taoist Master Ran Deng is extremely ferocious, Luo Shu's Nine Tribulations Sword is also extremely sharp.
Every collision would trigger a strong energy fluctuation, causing the entire Lingxiao Peak to tremble.
After dozens of rounds of fierce confrontation, the two finally separated.
Luo Shu stabilized his body in the aftermath of the battle. His clothes were tattered and his breathing was disordered. He took a deep breath and sighed inwardly:
“As expected of a quasi-saint. Although my Hongmeng Ten Heavenly Art has been circulated to its limit, enough to make me invincible among my peers, I still feel powerless when facing a strong person who is at a higher level than me.”
The Taoist Master Ran Deng had a gloomy face and a frown on his face, and it was obvious that he was also impressed by Luo Shu's strength.
"Luo Shu, your strength is beyond my expectation. You do have the strength to defeat Guang Chengzi and others."
The Taoist Master Ran Deng spoke slowly, his voice revealing a bit of admiration:
"However, you should also be aware that the difference in realm is like a natural chasm. I am at the early stage of Quasi-Saint. No matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to cross this gap."
Hearing this, Luo Shu sneered:
"Don't talk nonsense. Even if your cultivation is one level higher than mine, it doesn't matter. Whether you can defeat me depends on your ability."
When Ran Deng heard Luo Shu's provocative words, he became furious and shouted:
"Don't be so arrogant, young man! When I capture you, I'll see if you dare to be so arrogant again. By then, all your spiritual treasures will be mine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the coffin lamp above his head suddenly shone brightly, and in the dim light, the ghost fire of the underworld was like an awakened beast, burning fiercely in an instant.
The flames swirled and twisted in the air, as if forming fire dragons, roaring and rushing towards Luo Shu again.
Seeing this, Luo Shu's eyes became stern, and the aura around him instantly became sharp. He tightly grasped the Nine Tribulations Sword, and a cold light flashed on the sword body, as if it could cut through space.
He moved and turned into a stream of light, heading towards the oncoming fire dragons.
"Qiang!!!"
The Nine Tribulations Sword collided with the fire dragon, making a deafening metal collision sound.
Luo Shu's figure retreated repeatedly in the air, and every step seemed to be stepping on the void, but his eyes became more and more determined.
When Taoist Master Ran Deng saw that Luo Shu was gradually showing signs of defeat in the continuous confrontations, a cunning look flashed in his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
That sneer was like the frost in late autumn, bitingly cold, making the air around it seem to solidify a little.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and full of sarcasm:
"Luo Shu, weren't you quite arrogant just now? You kept saying that you were not afraid of the difference in cultivation, so why are you so embarrassed now?"
The words of the Taoist Master Ran Deng were like a sharp blade, piercing Luo Shu's heart.
Luo Shu's body trembled slightly, but then he stabilized himself.
He looked up at the Taoist Master Ran Deng, his eyes flashing with deep meaning and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Huh, a defeated elephant?"
Luo Shu sneered, "It's just a temporary setback. Although you have a high level of cultivation, if you think you can easily defeat me like this, you are totally wrong!"
After saying that, Luo Shu took a deep breath, and the aura around him instantly became sharp.
He tightly grasped the Nine Tribulations Sword, with a cold light flashing on the sword body, as if it could cut through space. With a move of his body, he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Master Ran Deng again.
When Taoist Master Ran Deng saw this, he frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Luo Shu could fight back so tenaciously despite being at such a disadvantage.
But he did not panic because of this. Instead, he responded to Luo Shu's attack more calmly.
The figures of the two people intertwined into a breathtaking picture on the top of Lingxiao Peak.
Luo Shu wielded the sword as fast as the wind, and every sword seemed to contain the power to destroy the world.
However, the Taoist Master Ran Deng was guarding perfectly, and no matter how Luoshu attacked, he could easily resolve it.
However, just as the two were fighting fiercely, Luo Shu suddenly flashed and turned into a residual shadow and disappeared from the sight of Master Ran Deng.
Taoist Master Ran Deng was startled and looked around quickly, trying to find any trace of Luo Shu.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly came from behind Master Ran Deng.
When Taoist Master Ran Deng felt the sharp sword energy, his heart suddenly sank.
He quickly turned around and waved to greet him, but it was too late.
"Qiang!"
The sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky as the Nine Tribulations Sword collided with the palm of the Taoist Master Ran Deng, making a deafening sound.
The Taoist Master Ran Deng only felt a huge force coming, and his body involuntarily took several steps back.
He looked up and saw Luo Shu holding the Nine Tribulations Sword, staring at him coldly.
"Huh, do you think you can defeat me like this?"
Luo Shu sneered, his voice full of contempt and disdain.
He swung the Nine Tribulations Sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword drew a graceful arc in the air, as if provoking the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
"Let me tell you, Wu Luoshu has never been afraid of anyone!"
Luoshu's voice is sonorous and powerful, as if it can penetrate people's hearts.
After that, Luo Shu transmitted his voice to Xiao Bai and said:
"Are you ready? I swing my sword again, and you retreat. Do you understand?"
Xiaobai, who was far away, was startled when he heard the words. From the situation just now, he could tell that his master was no match for the person in front of him.
Hearing Luo Shu's message, Xiaobai hurriedly prepared to escape.
Seeing that Xiaobai had understood his intention, Luo Shu swung the Nine Tribulations Sword again and launched a fierce attack on Master Ran Deng.
This time, his sword was even more powerful, as if he wanted to pour all his strength into this sword.
However, he had already made plans to retreat in his mind.
The sword light was like a rainbow, illuminating the entire top of the fairy mountain.
However, just as the sword light was about to touch Master Ran Deng, Luo Shu suddenly retracted his sword, flashed his body, and quickly retreated backwards.
His movements were swift and decisive, as if they had been planned in advance.
When Master Ran Deng saw this, he was stunned for a moment. This... is he running away?
