I Have A Dual World Seal

"Break!"

Wang Changxiong shouted angrily, breaking the piercing scream with his powerful voice, "Xiong Feng Escort Agency passing through, which Immortal are you?"

"Heehee—"

"Haha—"

"Hahaha—"

The laughter of three different voices echoed, and then three figures shot quickly from afar.

A burly man dressed in a tiger skin coat, a slender man in black clothing, and a middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe with short hair and a beard.

Wang Changxiong's expression turned grim, yet he still advanced on horseback and cupped his hands in greeting, "Xiong Feng Escort Agency passing through, unaware of any locals, I hope to..."

The burly man sneered, interrupting Wang Changxiong, "No time for nonsense. We're not interested in your carts and horses, we just want the secret delivery you're transporting. Give it up and we'll leave."

The slender man chuckled and followed up, "And that Water-Repelling Pearl too."

Wang Changxiong's eye twitched, but he quickly regained his composure, glancing at the three, he said coldly, "Seems like there's no room for negotiation?"

The Daoist robe-wearing man smiled faintly, "There never was. You have two choices: surrender the secret delivery and the Water-Repelling Pearl, or die completely."

"I..."

"Enough talking, this isn't a secluded place. Hurry up and kill!" The burly man spat, then sprang directly towards Wang Changxiong.

"Good move!" Wang Changxiong shouted angrily, his body soared from the horseback, palms leading a strong gust of wind, Blood Qi surging wildly, and his figure shot straight at the burly man like a sharp blade.

"Boom!"

Palms clashed, Qi burst, both groaned, and retreated together. The burly man grinned while Wang Changxiong's face changed several times; it turned out to be a tie.

"Chief of the Escort!" People in the Escort Agency exclaimed. Several porters drew their knives, ready to advance, but Huang Qing waved them off, "Guard the escort carts, you're no match for them!"

With that, Huang Qing flipped off the horse, his figure twisted like a snake weaving left and right, quickly joining the fray. Then he drew a soft sword from his waist and thrust it straight at the burly man.

The three opponents were no weaklings, and Huang Qing aimed to capitalize on their arrogance, teaming up with the Chief of the Escort to take one down; otherwise, today's battle would be hopeless.

However...

The soft sword was still three feet away from the burly man when Huang Qing's eyes widened in shock. The sword swung left and right, his figure retreating furiously, flipping back three yards.

"Oh, not bad, dodged quite fast." The slender man gloated.

"Poison bug, you're a Gu Master!" Huang Qing stared at the ground in front, his face filled with fear, then urgently shouted to Wang Changxiong, "Chief, be careful! There's a Gu Master among them!"

Wang Changxiong's expression changed, but he was deeply embroiled in the fight with the burly man and couldn't afford to notice Gu insects. He could only channel his Blood Qi to protect himself.

With this in mind...

A sinister smile appeared on the burly man's face. The two were evenly matched, but now Wang Changxiong expended double the effort on defense, giving the burly man the opportunity to defeat him shortly.

Huang Qing gritted his teeth and charged again, but the slender man already met him, whipping out a soft whip that gleamed ominously with poison.

And incredibly, a palm-sized scorpion perched on the back of his whip-hand.

The slender man alone blocked Huang Qing and wore down Wang Changxiong.

"Infinite Celestial Venerable!"

A Daoist chant and the robed Daoist man confronted Lu Zheng.

"I thought I was just here to bolster morale, chant a few times for support, never imagined I'd get a chance to act." His two mustaches lifted, "I heard you're a lay disciple from a Daoist Temple? What a coincidence, I was expelled from a Daoist Sect. How about a match?"

"You're after even me?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.

Ridicule flashed on the Daoist's face, "Haven't you heard of 'kill to silence'?"

"I have." Lu Zheng nodded, "Honestly, never thought I'd be a target myself."

"Infinite Celestial Venerable!"

Another Daoist chant, and suddenly Lu Zheng felt a mental force strike his mind, purple light burst out, like a deity overseeing from the clouds, compelling him to kneel in worship.

"Evil Sect, break!"

Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed, a wave of thought emerged like clouds, crashing into the purple light.

"Pfft!"

The Daoist spat blood, shock in his eyes, "Your cultivation!?"

Lu Zheng appeared to be just a twenty-something young noble, handsome and refined, yet a mere lay disciple.

From the Daoist's viewpoint, having Qi Sensitivity was impressive, with three to five years of Dao Practice, dispatching a few stray spirits and casting simple spells, he'd be the talk among peers, never imagine substantial power.

But his thirty-years of Dao Practice mental attack crumbled before Lu Zheng's counter and backfired, severely injuring himself.

"You dare babble 'kill to silence' with such feeble Dao Practice?" Lu Zheng said, surprised, "And to me?"

The Daoist finally realized why Lu Zheng was surprised—it wasn't about 'kill to silence,' it was about the gall of challenging him.

A small fry silencing the big boss, the big boss naturally astonished.

"Wind tight! Retreat!" The Daoist shouted, attempting to flee.

"Stop!"

A soft command and the Daoist froze in place.

"Body-Freezing Curse! It's the Body-Freezing Curse! He can use it!" The Daoist screamed internally, but he was completely immobilized except for thoughts and eyes.

Lu Zheng nodded, hmm, this is what the Body-Freezing Curse should achieve, once cast the opponent can't move, not like King Dingyelan, who can persist for a breath.

Passing by the frozen Daoist, Lu Zheng struck the chest lightly under the fear and pleading gaze.

Power surged, shattering mind and spirit.

"Buzz!"

Mind Jade Seal trembled, forty-nine strands of Light of Fortune accounted.

"Hmm? Incorrect!"

Lu Zheng's gaze sharpened, turning to the deceased Daoist.

Considering his age, status, and Dao Practice, future growth limited, ten strands of Light of Fortune would be generous, why forty-nine?

This suggested significant future fortune, as seen with events like the completion of Taohua Temple or Hu Zhou's Martial Dao formation.

Like with Ye Lan King acquiring Nether Heart and Incense Qi, eliminating him then could yield over a hundred strands of fortune, even three hundred likely.

With this former Daoist holding such fortune, Lu Zheng turned towards others, eyes bright!

...

Lu Zheng and the Daoist were actually distanced from the battlefield, yet they kept an eye on them. To their surprise, almost no exchange visible, the Daoist spat blood, attempted escape but froze, killed by Lu Zheng.

This oddity was undeniable, but the Daoist's death was irrefutable.

Thus the slender man fled, the burly man struck Wang Changxiong back three steps, used the momentum to escape, without uttering a word.

Lu Zheng's gaze remained fixed, only shaking his head with a sneer, "Can you really escape?"
