Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 78 Warlock Duel! This humble Taoist Priest Wants to Steal the Kill!

Higanbun Headquarters

It was still that same magnificent villa, and the fountain in front of it was working as always, the spraying water reflecting colorful light under the sunlight, making it dazzling and beautiful.

The villa is located in a relatively remote and quiet area, with few people around and even fewer pedestrians.

It was morning, and the warm sunshine shone on the earth, dispelling the biting chill. Early birds frolicked in the garden and on the branches near the villa, creating a charming scene.

Inside the villa, the elegantly dressed Mrs. Butterfly was enjoying breakfast, attended by a group of servants in black.

Suddenly, her phone, which was lying to the side, rang, and a text message appeared.

Mrs. Butterfly's expression changed, and she quickly picked up her phone to look at it.

The text message came from an unknown number and contained only one word: Run!

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Butterfly immediately realized that this was an urgent message sent to her by a spy she had planted in the company.

She jumped up from the dining table, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

Madam Butterfly, who usually behaved with elegance like a noblewoman, had no time to care about such things at the moment and shouted loudly.

"retreat!"

After saying that, she lifted her foot and was about to walk towards the secret passage, but the sudden change interrupted her.

"Splash splash splash..."

Suddenly, a deafening roar of crashing waves echoed outside the villa, making it seem as if the villa was amidst a raging storm.

The surging waves instantly surrounded the villa, and after a brief moment of build-up, the rolling waves crashed against the villa in the center.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Like crashing waves and raging torrents, a tremendous force swept over the entire villa, swallowing and submerging this structure that resembled a reef in the sea in the blink of an eye.

The complex and ever-changing force of the waves washed over the villa, as if trying to shatter the reef.

An exquisite villa is no more sturdy than a rock exposed to the elements; in the instant a wave crashes in, the entire villa is already on the verge of collapse.

The roof tiles and eaves ornaments fell off one after another, and the plaster on the walls inside the villa also fell off like a shower of flowers the moment they came into contact.

Sensing a huge threat, Butterfly abandoned her attempt to run to the secret passage, but falling rocks from above forced her to dodge.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As if a raging wave had surrounded the entire villa, the towering spray swept over it, and in the next instant, immense force tore through the walls of the villa.

The brick and steel walls held up for a moment under the onslaught of the waves before collapsing with a deafening roar.

"what!"

Lime plaster was flying everywhere, and a massive cloud of dust blotted out the sky, completely burying the ruins.

Some of the black-clad waiters who didn't have time to react were crushed to death by the rubble, their blood staining the broken stones red.

Lady Butterfly's figure vanished into the dust the moment the villa collapsed, leaving behind traces resembling red butterflies, dodging the flying stones in the void.

Lady Butterfly, draped in an invisibility cloak, dodged left and right, then looked up at the sky as if sensing something.

"Whoosh!"

Above the ruins, eight enormous vortexes, arranged in eight directions, resembled eight gates connecting to another world, from which a thick, pure, and powerful force, as fluid as water, poured down.

【Feng Hou Qi Men • Eight Gates Transport】!

A waterfall plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way were falling from the ninth heaven!

The waterfall cascading from the sky converged from all directions into towering waves, carrying a fierce and raging fury and gale-force winds, sweeping away the dust that had just been stirred up.

It's a long story, but all these dramatic changes happened in the blink of an eye.

"Splash splash splash..."

After the towering waves destroyed the villa, they seemed to be restrained by an invisible force. The surging tide swirled and rushed around the entire villa, and the water that had been flowing on the ground piled up to form a five-zhang-high wall of water, surrounding the ruins in the middle.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The waves collided and crashed against each other, creating an astonishing roar that echoed all around, startling away all the birds and beasts.

The butterfly, hidden in the ruins, looked at the water wall surrounding the ruins. The rushing water carried endless anger and immense power, making people dare not force their way through.

She draped the invisibility cloak over her body, wrapping herself up even more tightly, completely concealing herself in the ruins.

"Whoosh!" Another surprising turn of events.

High in the sky, a vortex as tall as a person suddenly appeared. This vortex was composed of red and blue colors and was located in the center of the eight vortexes, corresponding to the center of the ruins.

【Dual-Handed】!

【Eight-Element Transport • Shifting Scenery】!

"rub!"

Two golden beams shot out rapidly from the vortex, descending from top to bottom, seemingly carrying the heat of scorching flames, making it impossible to look directly at them.

The two golden beams seemed to descend from the heavens, majestically overlooking the ruins below.

The golden light moved extremely fast, as if it were a divine thought, and in the blink of an eye it swept away the entire ruins, and naturally it also saw the butterfly hidden under the protection of the haori.

"ha!"

A wisp of white vapor seemed to blow from within the vortex. This vapor was like smoke without substance and water without form, yet it blew straight toward the direction where the butterfly was.

The white mist shot out like a long snake, rushing downwards and gradually spreading into a huge and scorching flame that burned towards the butterfly's head.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a sharp, cold light flashed from the void, cleaving a gap in the flames sweeping down from above and scattering them around.

The white flames ignited without any material, forming a circle in the void, like a barrier trapping the hidden enemy.

"It seems that my cultivation is still somewhat lacking. I have to do many things at once. I have to control the Xuanwu True Meaning on one hand, and use sorcery to fight against people on the other. It is really difficult for me, a mere Taoist who only cultivates life."

A young voice suddenly came from the red and blue vortex in mid-air.

The voice was cheerful and high-pitched, and although it sounded like a joke, the tone was extremely cold.

"Fine! Now you can't escape even if you grow wings. Today, I'll crush you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the red and blue vortexes suddenly spun even faster.

A figure dressed in a Taoist robe stepped out of the vortex.

His eyes shone with golden fire, and his Taoist robe billowed in the wind, making him appear to be a burly man.

The red and blue Qi flowed around him like water, as if the Yin and Yang fish were swimming together, temporarily enhancing his life cultivation.

"Hush——"

In the void, two beast-like shapes gradually took shape, one resembling a snake and the other a tortoise.

The two intertwined, forming a black tortoise.

Lu Qian stepped steadily down from the void, his feet planted on the solid Xuanwu tortoise, surrounded by agile snakes.

He stepped into the void, and ripples like water formed beneath his feet, gradually spreading out, making it seem as if he were walking on water.

The Taoist priest treads the void, and Zhenwu descends to the mortal realm.

This scene, reminiscent of an ancient deity, caused the butterfly, trapped by the Samadhi True Fire, to tremble involuntarily.

"Alright, let's finish this quickly. I'll take your head first. Whether I tear you to pieces or deep-fry you alive, that's up to my master!"
