Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 203 - 144: Trouble in the Market

"Two fellow Daoists, though we are in a foreign land, certain rules must be observed."

The appearance of Lin Chang'an and Old Hu, two Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, brought a sense of relief to many cultivators within the Black Market.

Yet the two visiting Foundation Establishment Cultivators, one at Mid-stage and the other at Early-stage, were not afraid; instead, they coldly shouted:

"This person killed my junior nephew. Do you two really intend to oppose us for the sake of a mere Qi Refining Cultivator?"

Here to pick a fight!

Lin Chang'an and Old Hu exchanged a glance and immediately understood the situation.

It seemed they were not after the profits of the Black Market, but were either instructed to cause chaos in Celestial Profound City, dragging them into the mess.

But this no longer mattered.

Old Hu's face now bore a fierce gleam; most of his assets were tied up in this Black Market, and he hadn't yet recouped them.

Besides, the cultivation materials supplied by the Black Market every month—such an interruption was a declared enmity.

Just at this moment, a transmission echoed in their ears.

"Brother Lin!"

"Old Hu!"

With just a look, the two immediately reached a decision, and Lin Chang'an's expression also turned sharp.

"Such bold words, but outside of this Market, we don't concern ourselves. While within this Market, if anyone dares to break the rules, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Beneath Old Hu's cold demeanor, the long blade in his hand had already emanated a fierce aura.

The surrounding cultivators watching the scene all kept their distance.

"Good! Good! Very good! Just some Loose Cultivators running a Black Market, now blatantly talking of rules.

You Loose Cultivators are just a bunch of low-level beings."

In an instant, the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators coldly shouted, their bodies exuding a bronze sheen.

Seeing this, Old Hu immediately shouted a warning: "Brother Lin, be careful! These two are cultivators of the Vajra Sect from Sha Yun Kingdom, cultivating in the Body Cultivator path."

But a golden bell, exuding a grand might, suddenly descended from the sky, and with a thunderous crash, trapped the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This happened so fast that the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Sha Yun Kingdom couldn't react in time.

Old Hu was even more astonished; Brother Lin, usually a Confucian gentleman, acted even faster than a Tribulation Cultivator when it came to fighting.

"Senior Brother!"

With one instantly suppressed, the Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Sha Yun Kingdom looked on with shock and anger.

He hadn't expected these two Loose Cultivators to act so decisively and ruthlessly.

"Despicable!"

With a clash of metal, a green Sword Aura was already striking from behind.

Meanwhile, Old Hu was swift with his own moves, sending three Flying Knives straight at the eyes and lower vital points.

At the same time, the Cold Blade he wielded was already close to his body.

"Body Cultivator! You really think you're something; Old Hu doesn't believe your skin is tougher than a Demon Beast."

Meanwhile, the Market's array activated, directly blocking any escape routes for their opponent.

This scene caused the many cultivators in the Black Market to panic. However, they weren't foolish; with the array activated, who would dare stir up trouble now, lest they become like caged animals."

In the instant the Foundation Establishment Cultivators clashed, Lin Chang'an and Old Hu cooperated seamlessly, using speed to counter slowness.

The two Foundation Establishment Cultivators struck with ruthless techniques. When they made a move, it was always targeting the vitals.

"How dare you!"

"Haha, Vajra Sect has such prestige, but this is the Yue Kingdom. If your Sha Yun Kingdom wishes to enter Yue Kingdom, you'll have to cut through two kingdoms along the way first."

Old Hu was bursting with killing intent — disrupting his Market was a declared enmity. If he didn't kill to make an example today, wouldn't he be easily squeezed in the future?

The Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator trapped by the Yellow Dragon Bell was attacking it with rage and torn eyes.

The resonant hum of the bell echoed continuously, yet it remained unmoved.

"Brother Lin!"

"Coming!"

Though the Body Cultivator was strong, he was facing two Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and both Old Hu and Lin Chang'an were powerful Sword Cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, the Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator sustained several wounds, exclaiming in rage and shock: "If you dare kill me, Vajra Sect will not spare you."

"Die!"

Causing trouble in Celestial Profound City meant that Master Lu would take the blame.

With a raise of his hand, Old Hu instantly bound the man with a chain Spiritual Artifact.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang'an raised his hand, adding an insurance of five Tier Two Ice Talismans.

Simultaneously, the two soared into the sky.

[Giant Sword Technique]

The next moment, countless cultivators watched the sky above the Black Market in shock.

Two dazzlingly bright lights appeared: one was a giant green sword, the other a glowing golden blade.

The two shining blazes, with Sword Auras and Blade Auras measuring over ten zhang, appeared. Below, the Early-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator was utterly terrified.

"No! Two fellow Daoists, I will leave now..."

"Die!"

Under the cold gaze of Lin Chang'an and Old Hu, they suddenly pinched their sword formulas.

The two giant swords, bearing majestic power, crashed down, and the Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator let out an enraged and unwilling roar.

The protective Spiritual Artifact in front of him was torn apart, and his prideful Body Cultivator's flesh couldn't withstand it.

This was the full-force attack of two Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators. Not to mention an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator, even a Late-stage one wouldn't dare take it head-on with their body.

"Junior Brother!"

As the dust settled, the cultivator trapped inside the Yellow Dragon Bell was filled with rage and disbelief. He hadn't expected these two Loose Cultivators to be this ruthless.

Thud!

As the Yellow Dragon Bell rang out with a muffled sound, it was lifted off by the person inside.

The Yellow Dragon Bell, ringing as it returned to Lin Chang'an's hand, was also held back from full power.

After all, the Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Yellow Dragon Bell, still needed to remain hidden.
