Zhao Kai and Yang Taisui exchanged a smile, their faces showing surprise and delight. "Second Master, Qi cultivators are indeed powerful!"
Yang Taisui smiled slightly, recalling what the Imperial Observatory's Zheng Nan Huaiyu had said, "Ordinary terrestrial immortals are no match for Qi cultivators. Li Chang'an has only broken through to the terrestrial immortal realm for about a month. How could he possibly withstand the Qi cultivation supernatural power of the Fulong lineage!"
The master and apprentice wore smug smiles, hoping that Li Chang'an would die under the falling lightning.
Back then, during the White Robe Case in the capital, Wu Su escaped from the Imperial Observatory, which then focused its attention on the formations of Qi cultivators.
These Qi cultivators are actually hiding in various corners of the military camp, setting up formations to trap Li Chang'an and the others. They are merely phantoms formed by Qi.
This kind of direct use of Qi in actual combat can only be achieved by Qi cultivators and a very small number of experts. Ordinary true Qi and Qi energy are helpless against these illusions of Qi.
Li Chang'an tried several more times, but as expected, he could not harm these phantoms in the slightest. The lightning in the sky became more and more frequent, and the rosy clouds became more and more intense.
In fact, even such an offensive could not harm Li Chang'an. Li Chang'an had a solid foundation in the three realms, so he was not at all at the initial stage of a terrestrial immortal.
Yang Taisui's words also reached Li Chang'an's ears. The fighting style of these Qi cultivators was similar to his guess, directly triggering Qi attacks.
Before cultivating the Sacred Heart Technique, apart from Wu Lingsu's dual cultivation secret technique, Li Chang'an had no way to directly absorb fortune.
If it were that time, the only option would be to sacrifice Fu Jianghongjia to withstand the attack, and then retreat with a few experts.
But now, Li Chang'an has a way to deal with these Qi cultivators.
Bolts of lightning fell from the sky, but Li Chang'an no longer dodged. He released the Prajna Heart Bell to block the lightning bolts and the rosy light.
Yang Taisui sneered, "Buddhist secret techniques are related to the fortune of Buddhism. The fortune aura of a Qi cultivator can absorb the fortune within it!"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this Buddhist heart bell can temporarily block the radiant light and thunder. In the long run, it will be drained of its energy and eventually pierced through!"
However, things did not go as Yang Taisui had envisioned.
The clouds in the sky suddenly grew thicker, and then the temperature dropped rapidly. Even Yang Taisui, who possessed the Vajra Body of a Buddhist monk, felt extremely cold.
Immediately afterwards, a heavy snowfall began to fall throughout the entire military camp, mixed with hail.
These snowflakes actually landed on the phantoms of those Qi cultivators, but didn't pass through them!
The four ultimate techniques of Sacred Heart, namely the Frosty Heaven Technique and the Sacred Heart Mantra of Sacred Heart Technique, were used simultaneously, and the military camp instantly became a frozen wasteland, with a bone-chilling cold!
The Liyang soldiers who remained in the army were all completely frozen stiff within a few breaths, with no trace of life left!
Xie Guanying stepped out of the tent, and snowflakes fell on his face, causing his expression to change drastically.
As snowflakes fall on my body, my vital energy is being slowly drained away!
Li Chang'an's Absorption of the Sea Sacred Heart Technique can absorb all qi and power!
Xie Guanying, who originally planned to launch a sneak attack, felt as if his heart was in turmoil, because he had never seen a technique that directly absorbed luck.
Even among the Qi cultivators of the South China Sea and the Qi cultivators of the Dragon-Supporting lineage, these forces that are remotely fishing for fortune by celestial beings have never been able to directly absorb fortune!
The usual practice is to kill someone who possesses great fortune and then inherit a portion of that fortune, or to capture and suppress mythical beasts or divine objects in the world that possess great fortune.
Unfortunately, Xie Guanying had limited knowledge and did not know that the living immortal Wu Lingsu actually possessed a dual cultivation technique for absorbing fortune.
If Wu Lingsu hadn't possessed such abilities, the late emperor would never have bestowed upon him the title of a king of a different surname.
Xie Guanying, who originally intended to take advantage of the chaos, was very clear about his own strength. Although he ranked first on the Land Immortal Ascension Chart, his greatest skill was actually his ability to escape.
As for why he ranked first, it was naturally because he was good at collecting luck, and the Land of Immortals Map was also a treasure for Qi cultivators, nothing more.
Li Chang'an can directly absorb the Qi of destiny, so the formations of these Qi cultivators of the Dragon Supporting System are completely ineffective against him. Relying on Yang Taisui and Zhao Kai is even less likely to deal with Li Chang'an.
Yang Taisui couldn't see this, but Xie Guanying could.
"What should we do now? Stay and fight that kid?"
"But... can I beat him?"
With this thought in mind, Xie Guanying shrank the ground to an inch, and was already dozens of feet away!
Xie Guanying, who was willing to kill his wife to collect fortune and spent his whole life trying every means to collect fortune, valued his life even more than Zhao Kai.
He wouldn't easily confront the unpredictable Li Chang'an unless he was more than 90% certain of victory.
He already had a keen sense of danger, and now he was desperately trying to escape. Although he was lucky, nothing was more important than his life.
A mocking smile flickered across Li Chang'an's lips, followed by a look of regret. It was truly a pity that this lucky old fellow had gotten away.
Looking at Zhao Kai, who was standing on the ground, shivering and bewildered, his regret eased slightly.
In any case, Zhao Kai is still alive, so absorbing Zhao Kai's luck isn't a loss.
Yang Taisui and Zhao Kai, shocked by Li Chang'an's methods, were still trying to figure out what Li Chang'an was up to.
But soon, something terrifying happened to them!
The phantom clones of those Qi cultivators all shrank inch by inch under the cover of snowflakes. After absorbing the clones' luck, the large swathes of snow all flew towards Li Chang'an in the air.
Li Chang'an used the Absorbing Sea Sacred Heart Technique to absorb the luck of these phantoms, and then fed it back to himself!
As the phantom grew smaller and smaller, the lightning orbs in the sky became sparser and sparser, and the glow of the sunset faded into a faint glimmer.
"Kakakaka..."
Suddenly, a strange freezing sound echoed through the military camp, as if something was freezing underground.
Yang Taisui and Zhao Kai glanced nervously at the ground, sensing that danger was approaching. They then began to use their lightness skills to try and escape.
Inside a tent in the military camp, a Qi cultivator was sweating profusely in the biting cold. He sat cross-legged, maintaining the illusion that had been almost completely absorbed.
However, a sudden chill came from beneath him, and several sharp ice blades shot out from the ground, piercing his body through his thighs and buttocks!
Blood was everywhere, and screams filled the air!
All thirty-six Qi cultivators in the military camp were killed by these ice blades, some without even having time to scream.
Throughout the military camp, countless ice blades flew out from the ground, almost one after another, forming a sharp ice curtain!
One of the Four Great Skills of the Sacred Heart: Thousand Blades Piercing the Clouds!
On the sharp ice blades were the frozen corpses of Li Yang soldiers, as well as the bodies of Qi cultivators who had just been killed!
These Qi cultivators, hidden in various corners, were able to withstand the extreme low temperatures of Han Tianjue, but they were pierced by the ice blades underground!
The ice blade pierced through the air, tearing up all the corpses and tents in the entire military camp, and absorbing all the phantom clones of those Qi cultivators!
Relying on his Vajra Body from Buddhism, Yang Taisui shattered the ice blade beneath him and pulled Zhao Kai away at high speed through the air!
The arrogant Zhao Kai was just smugly waiting to see Li Chang'an die, but the next moment he was being chased and killed by Li Chang'an!
He turned around in alarm and found that Li Chang'an had already absorbed the fortune and was frowning as he looked in his direction.
Zhao Kai was already almost frozen stiff, and now his whole body was ice cold.
However, his own cultivation level was too low, so he could only hope that Yang Taisui by his side would help him fly quickly.
"Second Master, save me...you must save me..."
Amidst the swirling snow, Yang Taisui was sweating profusely with anxiety. He was not only unable to save Zhao Kai, but his own fate was also uncertain.
With no other option, the old monk in black could only use all his lightness skills to try to escape the military camp as quickly as possible, hoping that Zhao Kai's luck would bring a turning point for the two of them.
Zhao Kai, who was extremely anxious, suddenly felt his body warm up a lot. He was overjoyed and realized that he had escaped from Li Chang'an's Han Tianjue's range!
"Uh!"
The old monk in black beside him suddenly let out a muffled groan. Zhao Kai turned his head and was immediately terrified!
A white, billowing aura pierced through Yang Taisui's chest, leaving a two-foot-diameter hole in his black monk's robe!
Yang Taisui's internal organs were completely pierced and destroyed, and his eyes flickered for a moment before dimming completely.
Immediately afterward, the newly appointed King of Shu, Zhao Kai, was suddenly blocked by Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an used the Sea of Sacred Heart Technique to absorb all the remaining true energy in Yang Taisui's meridians into his dantian.
The Sea of Sacred Heart Technique circulated rapidly, and this true energy gradually transformed into Li Chang'an's own罡元 (罡元 is a type of internal energy), beginning to help Li Chang'an improve his cultivation.
The Oceanic Sacred Heart Technique can absorb fortune, as well as internal energy, true qi, and vital essence!
Zhao Kai watched Li Chang'an's actions in horror, then quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Highness, my cultivation level is very low, and I have no power to absorb."
"Ever since I met you in Yongzhou, I have longed to be like you and always looked up to you as my role model."
"In my heart, you are more wise and powerful than my father. I have always lived in boundless admiration for you!"
The shameless Zhao Kai disguised his hatred for Li Chang'an as admiration.
Li Chang'an absorbed the remaining true energy of Yang Taisui, then coldly watched Zhao Kai, who kept kowtowing.
“You people with the surname Zhao are all pretty spineless.”
He was reminded of Zhao Heng, whose son had been murdered, yet he hadn't dared to utter a single word.
Li Chang'an once again used the Sea of Sacred Heart Technique, gently grabbing Zhao Kai with his right hand, causing Zhao Kai's great fortune to continuously flow onto Li Chang'an.
Zhao Kai had not practiced any techniques for controlling Qi, so he was unaware of what had happened.
But one sentence from Li Chang'an caused him excruciating pain.
"Hmm... indeed, she possesses great fortune. Although she can't compare to Xiao Si and Guanyin, she's not bad either."
Zhao Kai didn't feel any pain, but tears streamed down his face!
He is most proud of his great fortune, and over the years, he has often comforted himself with this idea.
