My Senior Brother Is Too Steady
Chapter 13 Counterattack

A figure rushed forward, dressed in gray hemp clothes, and wearing a conical bamboo hat on his head. He was traveling so fast that his figure seemed to spin and spin. Around him, layers of light gray light appeared.

The Three-headed Spider Net of Strong Disciples could only detect this aura.

According to Li Changshou's observation, this person was quite strong. There was a long sword hanging on his waist, which was probably a top grade murder weapon. A violent aura enveloped the man. Li Changshou guessed that he was used to licking blood from the tip of his sword.

He took a deep breath and adjusted his aura. Then his speed began to increase.

A moment later, the attacker accelerated as well. Moreover, he adjusted the angle at which he advanced. Li Changshou made sure that he was the target.

The other party might be at the Sixth or Seventh Stage of Void Return. However, he could have hidden his true cultivation level. On second thought, Li Changshou predicted that the man was roughly at the Sixth Stage of Dao Retaliation.

This was because the person used movement techniques to chase after Li Changshou, instead of flying, which was much more efficient. There is a small chance that the person is immortal.

Li Changshou frowned. He was sucked into a strange situation.

How does he have to deal with this?

Li Changshou's first reaction was to use an escape technique, but he soon realized that he had been being watched for the past two days. This means that his followers have a way to track him down.

If he escaped this time, and the other party remained to relentlessly attack him, Li Changshou would be in even greater danger.

2.5 Kilometers in front of Li Changshou was a huge plain, filled with poisonous herbs, and without trees.

Li Changshou groaned softly in his heart. His right hand grabbed two small paper puppets, as the aura in his body gathered on that palm.

“Five elements take turns; there is great value in metamorphosis. In the cloud, there is no obstacle. Earth remains its center!”

Folds and folds appeared on the gray-white ground in front of him. Once again, Li Changshou used Earth Escape. However, before his body managed to get underground, his right hand turned into a burst of light.

The man who was chasing Li Changshou frowned. He pouted and felt an aura that moved swiftly underground. Once again, he jumped up and sped up, chasing after her as fast as he could.

A moment later, Li Changshou appeared among the poisonous herbs. He shook off the poisonous impurities from his body, scaring off some poisonous insects at the same time. Then, he raised his hand and replaced some of his Miasma Repellent Talismans. Soon after, he had to continue running once more.

At that moment, he heard the sword hiss beside him!

Cold light rays proved to be 30% faster than hiss. It was heading right to Li Changshou's neck!

Li Changshou turned around at once, but he had no time to react at all. The thin and long Dharma Sword struck his neck, causing his head to fly backwards!

There was a wisp of smoke, spinning gently. The cultivator, who was wearing a conical bamboo hat and dressed in gray, appeared behind Li Changshou. The veil in front of his bamboo hat floated upwards, revealing a cold smile on his lips.

“He is indeed in the Soul Formation Realm. Without any effort at all— You!”

He stopped in the middle of the sentence, suddenly looking down at his own feet.

‘Li Changshou’, who had just been decapitated, was now holding onto this man's ankle!

The killer reacted quickly. Instantly, he jumped back. Then, his vision became blurred. It was almost as if all the energy had been sucked out of his body—his strength and aura of his Dharmas became extremely idle. It seems impossible to activate it!

At that moment, the killer looked closely at the corpse belt, which was still hanging on his ankle. There is a pot open…

He has fallen for the trick!

The man tried his hardest to bite his tongue so that he could come to his senses. However, he could not even gather enough energy to bite his tongue. His vision became blurred!

It was a self-created lubricating agent, Soft Immortal Disperser.

At that moment, a beam of light flew over the killer's head and floated there. It was a strange-looking paper umbrella, embedded with spirit stones of various colors.

The paper umbrella slowly rotated. The spirit stones embedded within it flew in all directions. An insulating array formation measuring 150 feet in diameter suddenly appeared, with an umbrella as the base. The area it covered was completely isolated from the rest of the world!

It was a self-made Dharma treasure, the Heaven Changing Treasure Umbrella.

Li Changshou slowly emerged from the ground with his right hand raised. Three paper dolls were blown by the wind. Two crushing sounds rang out, as they took the form of Li Changshou and charged forward.

It was the technique of the Dao Sect, the Human-forming Paper Scissors.

The paper puppet had not even reached the killer's hand when Li Changshou held out a bronze short bow in his left hand. Without hesitation, he pulled the arrow trigger and caused the wooden arrow to shoot out, aiming directly at the area between the assassin's eyebrows!

The bamboo hat flew upwards, revealing a thin and sinister face.

The arrow pierced through the killer's forehead, causing the light in his eyes to slowly dissipate.

“Anda-”

The assassin let out one final furious roar, but it sounded helpless. His mouth remained open until the three paper dolls reached him.

Paper Doll One produced three long spikes, which pierced the killer at his three dantian points—atas, middle, and bottom. It locked onto his three immortal souls and refined his seven mortal forms!

Paper Doll Two used both hands to conjure the seal. It also opened its mouth, producing a pure white flame, which engulfed the body of the assassin. This fire instantly ignited the killer's flesh. Like a snowman, it turned liquid and disappeared.

That person didn't even have the energy to scream in pain.

Paper Doll Three continued to mutter soft words. It uses a curse that will conquer the soul and extinguish the devil. Waves appeared in front of the puppet, causing the shadow, which appeared in the white flames, to disappear!

At that moment, the killer's soul was completely destroyed. All that was left was a handful of remains that were still consumed by the white flames.

Li Changshou was still unable to relax. He threw a pearl as big as his thumb. The pearl spun, absorbing a wisp of light green. There was not a single bit of a murderous soul left.

Li Changshou carried his bronze arrow and walked forward. Carefully, he picked up the pearl. The white fire was gone. Only black ashes, half of a sword, and a small ring, were left on the ground.

The three paper puppets sat cross-legged on the ground. Instantly, they started chanting silk.

The first paper puppet recited the Dao Sect's Salvation Sutra, the second recited the legendary Rebirth Curse of the Western School, and the third recited the Dao Sect's Blessing Curse.

Li Changshou took out a jade and stone ring and held it in his palm. He did not feel the urge to break the restrictions on the ring. Instead, he used his Dharmic power to form a layer around the ring, before throwing it into the storage of the Dharma artifact marked ‘Heaven Number Four’.

When the three paper puppets finished chanting each other's silk, small waves began to appear on the ground. Li Changshou's arms danced, causing the ashes left by the assassin to scatter by the wind.

Three paper puppets also appeared into the sky, and then turned into three palm-sized pieces of paper, before flying back to Li Changshou's sleeves.

The umbrella pulled itself away, and the spirit stone flew back to where it came from. At the same time, the huge array disappeared.

Li Changshou picked up the sword and aimed at it, causing a gust of sword aura to fly out. It pierced through the poisonous mist above and directly smashed into the black beetle, making it dust.

The whole movement was smooth. It was almost as if Li Changshou had practiced this many times before.

He turned around and scanned the surroundings, which had returned to its original state. Then, he turned to the decapitated paper doll and lightly touched it. The paper doll caught fire, leaving no trace of what happened.

Li Changshou took one step forward and was sucked to the ground. Just like that, he disappeared.

‘Ai, to fix the paper doll also takes a lot of effort ..’

However, it was worth it, considering that he had obtained the person's ‘family background instead.

Li Changshou searched for the souls left inside the pearl and found many memories within it. Through that memory, he learns of the killer's motives and the plan behind this entire journey.

The assassin who tried to kill him was nicknamed Assassin Turtledove. He was at the Second Stage of Dao Retaliation. He was a cultivator, hired by someone with spirit stones, to go there and do his dirty work.

That person had tried to kill Li Changshou to get a communication talisman from him. He wanted to use that communication talisman to lure the tiger away from his cave—he wanted to lure Aunt Master Jiu Jiu there.

As soon as Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu appeared, the Turtledove Assassin would attack Liu Yan’er and Wang Ji. He would then use it as bait to lure Aunt Jiu Jiu and trap her in an array formation. After that, they could focus on their actual target of — Sixth Princesses from any country, Youqin Xuanya!

However, Assassin Turtledove did not want to kill Youqin Xuanya. This whole plan was meant to achieve a more despicable goal.

According to the pieces of the memories of Assassin Turtledove, Li Changshou guessed that the mastermind behind this entire plan was the Young Brother of his sect, Yuan Qing, or a certain strongman behind Yuan Qing.

The corner of Li Changshou's mouth twitched. In his heart, he cursed, ‘Indeed, one cannot just judge others based on their appearance. Warm and nice man mostly fake.’

However, this had nothing to do with Li Changshou.

The other party spent so much effort just to lure Aunt Jiu Jiu into the array formation and trap him. It was clear that this person did not dare to go against Aunt Jiu Jiu directly. That meant that Li Changshou did not have to worry about the safety of a certain Perfect Immortal.

After a gentle breeze, the poisonous Miasma returned. Peace is restored to the forest. The poisonous plants swayed gently in the wind. Apart from a bunch of poisonous herbs being burnt to a crisp, nothing else was left behind.

No one would have thought that a few seconds ago, a fatal battle had occurred there.

A moment later, all that was heard was a gentle breeze, sounding like endless melodic moans.

“I killed you in just ten minutes, and I even spread your ashes!”

…

On the East Ocean Coast, on a certain beach, hundreds of disciples were fighting an endless wave of shrimp demons that emerged from the sea.

In one corner of the war zone, some young cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm hid behind some corals. They kept muttering curses to activate their Dharma artifacts, trying to help Big Brother and Senior Brother fight in front of them. However, their eyes could not leave a certain figure fighting not far away from them.

Lan Ling’e held the porcelain bottle in her hand, gently pouring the powder. He exhaled some spiritual energy into the pile of powder, spreading it out to the dozens of approaching shrimp demons at once.

Shrimp devils are not so smart, to begin with. As soon as the dust hit them, their feet turned to jelly. Then, they lay on the ground with the foam coming out of their mouths, and their eyes moved quickly.

Lan Ling’e then took out her short sword and floated forward. One by one, he killed them. Lan Ling’e was extremely accurate as she pierced the demon souls of each demon shrimp with a single move.

Immediately, he turned around and floated back to his original position, waiting for the next wave of demons to come. The entire time, Lan Ling’e remained unaware that she had been the center of the attention of many other disciples.

‘The toxic powder that Senior Brother purified for me is very useful. I wonder if Senior Brother is safe. The Northern Continent is dangerous. It is said that even an insect can kill an immortal. Ai, the annoying Senior Brother always asks others to play it safe, while he takes risks. She did not even bring along her smart and brave Junior Sister!’

The more Lan Ling’e thought about it, the more furious she became. Suddenly, a cold shadow appeared in front of him.

“Young Sister Ling’e, be careful!”

“Quick, dodge!”

Suddenly, he heard some anxious cries in his ears. Lan Ling’e looked up instinctively and saw seven or eight shrimp demons right in front of her. Over ten claws waved in front of his face, ready to attack!

There are also a number of holes in the ground. Shrimp demons emerged from underground!

At that intense moment, Lan Ling’e gently shouted. He took another porcelain bottle from inside his sleeve and threw it away. His Senior Brother's hoarse voice rang out in his mind, “If you find yourself in an emergency, or if you are surrounded by enemies, throw this bottle.”

Bang out!

The porcelain bottle exploded among the shrimp demons, and green smoke emerged from the bottle, swallowing the shrimp demon at once.

In the next moment, all the shrimp demons floated in the air.

The sea breeze is blowing. Apart from the hard outer shell on the demon shrimp's body, they disappeared in the air and turned into colorful bubbles, which slowly floated with the wind.

Lan Ling’e let out a long sigh of relief. However, all of a sudden, he realized that the atmosphere around him had become strange.

He turned around and saw that some Big Brother and Senior Brother, who had rushed to save him, had stopped some distance away. All of them had strange expressions on their faces.

Lan Ling’e blinked slowly, confused.

Mendeering

The sword belonging to a male disciple in the Soul Formation Realm landed beside him. He immediately leaned over to pick it up.

“Ling Young Sister’e, please, please.”

“We only passed ... passed ..”
