The appearance of the third senior brother set Lu Xun’s mind at ease.
Even though he didn’t have a concrete understanding of the third senior brother’s strength yet, the thick stack of talisman papers he held was no joke.
Talisman technique was expensive, as their battle abilities mainly relied on the symbols.
Not only did it require excellent talisman paper, but also what material to use for drawing was meticulous.
Each symbol required a unique ink, especially for those advanced symbols, a hint of Flood Dragon blood in the ink or a bit of flame crystal powder was the norm.
Moreover, talisman were single-use, once used they were gone, they were consumables.
For players, the talisman technique was a favorite of the wealthy players, and ordinary players generally dared not dabble in it.
Use cash to create happiness, if you have no money to play, fuck off!
As long as your funds are sufficient and you’re willing to spend time drawing symbols and accumulating them, at a critical moment, the burst ability would be especially strong!
Although the number of single-use symbols is definitely limited, as it is closely related to the strength of the Divine Sense, just like Lu Xun also can’t manage to throw out all the Sword Qi in the sheath at once, but large quantities can still be troublesome!
He still remembered from his previous life that there was a player from the Demon Sect, who was a disciple of Shen Yan and was a famous talisman tycoon.
As mentioned before, the players under Shen Yan were part of a weird organization called the Bald Party, they shaved their heads neatly, becoming a noticeable spectacle within ‘Heavenly Dust’.
Yes, noticeable, not attractive.
This talisman tycoon was a member of the Bald Party, he liked to stockpile low-to-mid-level talisman papers, as they were easier to control and could be used in larger quantities at once.
The exploding symbols were his favorite, ‘pop, pop, pop’, he could ‘pop’ a few hundred at once!
People gave him the nickname – ‘Gatling Living Buddha’!
In his previous life, Lu Xun had had one manly showdown with him, a 1V1 man vs man battle!
Even though the opponent eventually lost to his big stick, the awesome feeling of the exploding symbols was something Lu Xun would remember forever.
And right now, the symbols hovering around the third senior brother were all high-end symbols!
“The ability to control so many high-end symbols at once shows that the third senior brother must be of at least seventh level strength,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
While thinking this, he added in his heart: “And the third senior brother is probably even wealthier than I thought…”
But when he thought about it, talisman techniques and artifact refining are both money-building methods in the early and middle stages, but in the later stage, they can really make a lot of money!
It’s just that ordinary players can’t make it to the later stages, and the wealthy players would rather hoard items to show off and improve their hard power, so this profession is slightly awkward.
In Lu Xun’s eyes, the third senior brother, Zhuge Lai Fu, could be considered a human money-printing machine.
Back to the topic, Lu Xun wasn’t surprised at all that the third senior brother saw through his illusion technique.
‘At Will’ was only a blue level illusion technique, and Lu Xun only leveled it up once, it was enough to fool the players, how could it possibly fool the third senior brother?
It’s just that his current White Emperor look was a bit like a premium version of ‘Gentleman’, and the third senior brother definitely wouldn’t overlook this… that’s a bit embarrassing!
“Thankfully, the third senior brother is a sincere person and definitely won’t go out of his way to mention it to ‘Gentleman’.”
“If it were Mao Nanbei, this trouble-loving stinky loli, I’d need to find something to shut her up,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
The only thing puzzling him right now was the Demon Sect markings on this foreign woman, could they have been put on by the third senior brother?
He always felt that something was off, but he couldn’t figure it out just yet.
As for the players around him, they were now in complete uproar!
“Purple Name! This sneaky looking slit-eye poor peasant is actually a Purple Name NPC!” The players screamed in their hearts.
They really didn’t expect that they would have a chance to see a Purple Name NPC in action?
He seemed to know the White Emperor?
What was their relationship?
At this moment, all of the foreign woman’s light feathers had dissipated, her eyes revealed a hint of seriousness, clearly, those dozens of high-end symbols were giving her immense pressure.
The third senior brother was suspended in mid-air without making a move, the talisman paper would attack according to his will.
The foreign woman had no intention of fighting the third senior brother here at all, that would only attract more cultivators, now she just wanted to leave quickly.
Just as she was about to escape, she noticed that dozens of talisman silently moved in on her, blocking her path.
A short sting appeared in her hand, she swept her beautiful eyes all around, trying to find a loophole.
The third senior brother’s half-closed eyes watched her all the time, saying: “Need me to give you a hint?”
The foreign woman was a bit enraged, she gripped the short sting in her hand and stabbed at the talisman paper in the southwest.
The golden light flickered, and the woman’s short sting couldn’t shake it at all.
“You chose wrong,” Zhuge Lai Fu said.
There was no mocking tone in his words, it was as if he was stating a simple fact.
After the foreign woman’s attack failed, it seemed to trigger something, and the surrounding talisman paper began to flicker all over.
This is…
A Symbol Array!
Lu Xun watched from below, his eyes involuntarily brightened.
Almost forgot, his formation was also guided by the third senior brother, the third senior brother is very knowledgeable about formations.
Hundreds of dazzling golden lights suddenly appeared, each golden light was thin, like hundreds of about 30cm long golden needles!
They stabbed at the woman from all directions at an alarming speed!
She could only cover herself with her wings from her back, trying to resist.
But with her strength, she couldn’t even block one golden light needle!
Piercing screams kept coming out, hundreds of golden light needles penetrated her purple wings!
In the blink of an eye, the woman’s health bar dropped below 10%, showing its specific value in front of the players and Lu Xun.
As long as the health bar is below 10%, no matter how high the level or how mysterious, it will show the final health value.
“It’s not going to be killed in a second, is it?” This thought directly popped up in the players’ heads.
“Is it that exaggerated?” Many people felt it shouldn’t be.
After all the golden light disappeared, the woman’s wings had completely dissipated, her body was mutilated, and she directly fell from the sky.
Dead?!
“No! Not dead! There’s a sliver of health left!” Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was clear that this woman must have some kind of life-saving measure, she was currently playing dead!
But the third senior brother didn’t have the ability to see the health bar, it was unknown whether he would notice or not.
But then Zhuge Lai Fu glanced down, and one talisman paper directly exploded, turning into a tremendous fire dragon!
The fire dragon directly plunged towards the woman who had just fallen to the ground!
The foreign woman was immediately burned to ashes, as the wind blew, the ashes scattered, it was quite a sight.
Lu Xun:
One-shot crushing into ashes!
“Third Senior Brother… are you always this cautious?” The corner of Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly.
At the same time, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
The third senior brother’s series of actions proved one thing:
Try messing with my little junior brother?
Oh, you dare huh?
Then, try dying!
