Chapter 173 Green Lotus Jade Bottle
The Green Lotus Jade Bottle is meticulously carved from white jade as smooth as water. The pattern of blooming green lotus on it was painted by Lin Qingzhi himself, and the brushstrokes contain a touch of spirituality and elegance.
This bottle is a vessel specially used by Lin Qingzhi to hold precious elixirs.
Deep in his medicine box, there are hundreds of jade bottles with similar shapes but different characteristics. They are given different names and abilities because of the unique drawings on the bottles.
What is particularly special is that the Green Lotus Jade Bottle in Lin Fan's hand was made with extra care by Lin Qingzhi due to Lin Fan's preference, and he arranged other rules inside the bottle, making this bottle not only a container for things, but also containing some Taoist rhyme and power.
The night sky is clear and everything is silent.
The blooming green lotus swayed leisurely in the darkness, like a hidden secret in the night. It swayed gently, and with a detached attitude, it met the hammer that suddenly fell from the void.
The war hammer carried a force that shook the heavens and the earth, but the moment it touched the blue lotus, it seemed to be gently supported by an invisible force, failing to stir up any ripples around the blue lotus.
The green lotus continued to bloom quietly, neither increasing nor decreasing, unstained by dust, turning this violent attack into nothingness.
Seeing Qinglian easily dissolve the tremendous power contained in his war hammer, Ma Weihao's face suddenly changed, as if dark clouds were pressing down on him, and he could hardly hide his shock and resentment.
"Is this the confidence you rely on? Humph, nothing special."
Lin Fan raised a scornful smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes like knives staring directly at Ma Weihao, his tone full of disdain and indifference.
Ma Weihao's body trembled slightly, and an indescribable feeling of humiliation and anger intertwined in his heart.
As a disciple of the Mingyue Sect, a high and mighty sect, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? He was easily blocked by a young man of unknown origin.
Ma Weihao suppressed his discomfort and waved towards the sky. The war hammer spun in the night sky and then returned to Ma Weihao's hand.
“Beep…”
Ma Weiqiang gently put two fingers close to his lips, and a crisp and sharp whistle cut through the air, echoing melodiously.
As soon as the whistle sounded, a black shadow seemed to step out of the void and landed silently beside Ma Weiqiang. It was an old man with a face as cold and hard as a knife and deep eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.
He held a long sword firmly in his arms. The scabbard was simple and exuded a calm aura that should not be underestimated.
"Uncle Wan, I'll have to trouble you with these people..."
After his clash with Lin Fan, Ma Weihao had a clear understanding of his own strength and knew that he was no match for Lin Fan on his own. Therefore, he had to seek help from outside forces in order to turn the tide of the battle.
Wan Bo, the protector specially assigned by the sect for Ma Weihao, not only has a high level of cultivation, but also serves as a solid barrier for him after he leaves the sect.
At this moment, Wan Bo's arrival undoubtedly gave Ma Weihao a shot in the arm.
In all the major sects, behind every candidate for the sect leader, there is a mysterious protector who follows him like a shadow. This arrangement is intended to resist the actions of the older generation.
The protectors often hide in the dark. Generally speaking, when their peers are fighting, the protectors will not take action at will. Even if the two sides are fighting for life and death, nothing is absolute and there are always some special circumstances.
He had a close relationship with a certain venerable ancestor within the sect. The importance of this relationship was such that even Uncle Wan, who was a protector and had a certain reputation within the sect, had to obey the ancestor's wishes and show up.
After all, although he is a protector and has some influence in the sect, he cannot be compared with the sect's ancestor.
Wan Bo nodded slightly, his movements showing unquestionable calmness. Then, he slowly drew the long sword from the scabbard.
The blade was dark red in color, as if stained with the blood of countless heroes, and exuded an indescribable fishy smell that lingered all around.
He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly in his right hand, with one arm hanging down, the tip of the knife lowered, pointing directly at the dust. At that moment, Wan Bo's spiritual power surged around him, like a sudden strong wind in spring, sweeping around him from the center, bringing with it bursts of whistling sounds.
Wherever the spiritual power reached, dust flew up, covering the sky and the sun. Even the quiet surface of the Twin Lakes not far away was stirred by this invisible force, rippling and sparkling, as if even the tranquility of nature was trembling.
A heart-pounding force quietly spread, and the air was filled with depression and uneasiness.
Wan Bo's face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were like torches, piercing through the flying dust and looking directly at Lin Fan opposite him.
As a strong man in the early stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, he did not take Lin Fan, who was only in the Golden Core Realm of Martial Arts, into consideration.
Although the fact that this young child in front of him could achieve such a level of cultivation at such a young age really made his heart surge with shock and admiration.
However, things are unpredictable and fate is cruel. Their sect and the true disciple behind this child have formed an irreconcilable feud.
In view of this, he had to harden his heart and decide to keep this gifted and almost monstrous young man here and not give him a chance to escape.
After all, he knew very well that if this evil creature was allowed to grow freely, it would eventually become a serious threat to their sect, bringing endless troubles and threats.
"Qiang..."
A distant and cold metallic hum suddenly echoed throughout the world, shaking every inch of space.
Immediately afterwards, as if born from nothingness, a huge blood-red blade light appeared out of nowhere, carrying with it a monstrous murderous aura and overwhelming pressure, pointing directly at Lin Fan and the others, and slashing them down fiercely.
The blade light appeared without any warning, as fast as lightning, like the brightest meteor in the night sky. It arrived in an instant and was already hanging above the heads of Lin Fan and others. The breath of death enveloped the surroundings.
"Ugh..."
At this critical moment, a golden light suddenly appeared, dazzling and brilliant, like the first light of dawn, dispelling the surrounding haze.
An equally sharp blade light emerged from the golden light, carrying a strength and determination that should not be underestimated, facing the blood-red blade light and going against the trend.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes focused on the woman in Lin Fan's group who had not attracted their attention before.
At some point, she had quietly and silently stood in front of Lin Fan, like an orchid quietly blooming in a valley, quietly emitting an aura that could not be ignored.
Around her, a bright golden moon is slowly rotating, emitting a soft and mysterious light, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, quietly guarding this small world.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden blade light burst out from the Moon Golden Wheel, carrying endless sharpness and power, and directly collided with the surging blood-red blade light.
In just a moment, the domineering blood-red blade light quickly dissipated into nothingness under the illumination of the golden light, like snow melting under the scorching sun.
