My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 147 - 146: Death Fighters Under Others’ Control
Lv Bai acted too fast, and the old woman couldn’t stop him even if she wanted to.
Watching as the Fox Immortal vanished into thin air, she remained silent for a moment before cautiously asking, "What do we do now?"
Lv Bai pulled an incense stick from Shi Xiangtou’s bundle and handed it to the old woman, "Summon Master Bai the Fourteenth."
He had just inquired with the Fox Immortal, who seemed unaware of Master Tao’s existence.
To find the Incense Master, it was still necessary to seek Master Bai the Fourteenth, the Immortal involved.
The old woman took the incense and lit it casually.
The eerie wind ceased its blowing, and the bone-chilling cold was gradually dissipating, no longer affecting the incense lighting.
From the pitch-black wild grove came faint sounds, likely from the Family Guardian Immortals of Liu Family Village.
Previously, the Fox Immortal had forced these Family Guardian Immortals to act against the villagers; even if they had other thoughts, they were now compelled to join the faction overturning the Incense Sect’s order.
However, the attainment of the Family Guardian Immortals was indeed not high.
They could hide behind and drum up support, but expecting them to stand up to face the three Incense Masters including Lv Bai was unrealistic.
"Is this okay?"
Shi Xiangtou noticed the old woman was beginning the divine communication ritual and hesitantly spoke.
"You don’t trust Master Bai the Fourteenth?" Lv Bai looked at him with a hint of amusement.
Clearly, what the Fox Immortal said had planted some seeds of doubt within Shi Xiangtou.
After all, Master Bai the Fourteenth was truly an Immortal, not a human.
Shi Xiangtou quickly waved his hand, "It’s not that I don’t trust; I just think there’s no need to rush."
The old woman silently slowed her summoning of Master Bai the Fourteenth, ready to stop at any time.
Lv Bai noticed her reaction, "You all think it’s best to wait a bit?"
Shi Xiangtou wanted to say yes but felt it was somewhat presumptuous.
"You need to view the problem from a different angle. The series of actions by the anti-Incense Sect faction shows they believe Master Bai the Fourteenth would oppose. Given this, we should call Master Bai the Fourteenth over to exchange opinions."
Lv Bai shrugged, "Besides, you might be a bit optimistic now; the real concern should be whether Master Bai the Fourteenth can be brought over."
The old woman pondered and felt it made sense, so she began chanting, accelerating the summoning of Master Bai the Fourteenth.
As expected, what happened next was just as Lv Bai anticipated.
Even as the incense in her hand burned out, there was no response from Master Bai the Fourteenth.
Her hand trembled, and a lump of incense ash fell.
She couldn’t help but become anxious, "Something has happened in the county town."
"What do you mean?"
Shi Xiangtou stood up nervously, "Then we must hurry back."
"You can’t leave yet."
A sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Lv Bai looked toward the source of the voice and saw a small old man about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a yellow jacket.
The small old man stood at the village entrance, his jacket seemingly ill-fitting, with a long section dragging on the ground.
Seeing such an eerie old man appear late at night, it was clear he bore ill intentions.
The old woman stood up and asked, "Who are you?!"
"Is this never going to end?"
With Lv Bai present, Shi Xiangtou gained a bit more courage.
In contrast, Lv Bai appeared very relaxed, with a casual smile on his face.
"There’s no need to be so heated. This old fellow offers you his greetings."
As the words fell, the small old man at the village entrance made a bow.
Instantly, accompanied by creepy laughter, bone-chilling winds swirled outside the village once more, layer upon layer.
Perhaps because this Great Immortal suddenly appeared, the Family Guardian Immortals that had been skulking earlier in the village’s dark corners immediately became restless again.
Lv Bai took a step forward.
"It seems your faction has quite a few Immortals."
"Success attracts more assistance."
The small old man smiled modestly, "Yet, it’s intriguing how Hu Jiao ended up defeated by you three Incense Masters."
"Let’s explain it to you as well."
Lv Bai charged toward the village entrance, smiling.
During his run, his arms again emitted black and white shimmering glow.
Estimating the distance as sufficient, he quietly activated [Flash Time].
The scene before him became stagnant.
The dense black smoke from his left arm struck the ground like a spring, and then, like a rocket with terrifying power, launched him forward.
As he was about to land in front of the small old man, Lv Bai clenched his right hand, the surrounding white light enveloping his entire right arm, condensing into a nearly one-meter-long milky white conical spike.
This time, he had no intention of holding back.
The large white spike, carrying a fierce, unstoppable momentum, crashed down.
Half a second passed, and time resumed its flow.
Bam!
A violent, teeth-gritting hum echoed at the village entrance.
Mana from Immortals remains the most effective force against evil.
The old man in the yellow jacket didn’t expect Lv Bai to wield such enormous mana nor that his attack would be so abrupt.
With no chance to resist, he was killed instantly.
Even though it wasn’t the first time seeing Lv Bai take action, this exaggerated display still felt surreal to Shi Xiangtou.
The old lady took several deep breaths and reminded, "Lü Xiangtou, this place is not suitable for staying long."
Hardly had they dealt with the Fox Immortal when another old man showed up.
If they waited longer, who knew what other evils would appear?
Lv Bai dispelled the mana from his arms, turned to the two Incense Masters, and said, "Hmm, let’s head back to the town."
...
In a courtyard in the county town.
A dozen young people gathered together, all with grave expressions.
"The others in the arson group can go to their designated positions now."
"Lao Liu, once we’ve left, you immediately start the fire."
"Wang, once you see the fire glare at the county government office, go in and wreak havoc; the bigger the commotion, the better."
"As for Fan Ding, well, you still come with Yuan and me to open the city gates."
Hearing the arrangement, Fan Ding appeared quite hesitant.
He bit his teeth, gathered his courage, and questioned, "Xiao Xueyin, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but isn’t it too early for an all-out effort?"
Xiao Xueyin didn’t expect Fan Ding, usually obedient and timid, to dare object at this moment.
"Brother Fan Ding, do you think we have the luxury of choice now?"
Realizing the atmosphere in the courtyard had suddenly turned bleak, Xiao Xueyin felt the need to boost everyone’s morale.
He spoke earnestly, "I don’t know who leaked the existence of the Death Fighters, causing many of our brothers to be subjugated by the natives.
But this doesn’t mean we should obediently follow the orders of those natives, especially since as long as that Immortal is taken down, we can regain our freedom.
By our strength, we indeed cannot eliminate that Immortal, but based on my inquiries recently, these natives are evidently preparing to overthrow the current order."
Xiao Xueyin, with a confident smile, added, "In times of change, is there ever no Bleeding?"
