My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 156 - 155: Node Acquired

As the purple-haired fox let out a piercing scream, a gust of foul wind rushed forward.

In the pit, broken stones flew, swirling in a whirl.

Lv Bai observed the series of changes and could sense Aunt Hu San’s tactics, full of malevolence and cunning.

With the presence of the Four Immortal Lotus, Master Bai the Fourteenth and Chang Shengtian couldn’t be counted on, leaving only himself.

Decisively activating [All Ink], Lv Bai turned everything before him, including himself, pitch black, like a black hole appearing out of thin air, devouring all incoming light.

Seizing the moment when Aunt Hu San was distracted by this transformation.

His figure, ghost-like, silently glided towards the purple-haired fox.

The mana spike, dyed black, was already in his hand, ready to activate [Flash Time] when the distance was closed.

For someone of Aunt Hu San’s stature as a Great Immortal Family, even in total darkness, she could see as normal.

Yet the black of [All Ink] rendered her sight unclear, forcing her to be extremely vigilant.

However, due to [Flash Time], no matter how cautious she was, it would be futile.

Thud～

As the world resumed its motion, the mana spike in Lv Bai’s hand had already pierced into the purple-haired fox’s body.

Aunt Hu San immediately felt the sting at the back of her neck, instinctively lifting a front paw to touch the spot, but grasped at air.

After all, her true form was large in size, such an injury wasn’t seriously grave.

Lv Bai never pinned all his hopes on that one strike.

At the moment of impact, he controlled the phantom serpent on his left arm, springing him toward the top of the fox’s head.

In mid-air, he stretched out his right hand, retrieving the Four Immortal Lotus as if catching the moon from the water.

The phantom serpent compressing rapidly, he spun three and a half turns mid-air.

Then suddenly twisted his waist, launching the phantom serpent with force.

Like a heavy punch descending from the sky, carrying immense power, accurately impacting the top of the fox’s head.

Boom!!!

In the pitch darkness, a heavily dull collision sounded, mingled vaguely with the cracking of bones.

The darkness dissipated, revealing the scene.

The massive purple-haired fox, its head slammed into the ground, creating a three-meter square pit surrounded by dense spider web-like cracks.

Lv Bai holding the Four Immortal Lotus, steadily stood atop the fox’s head.

Aunt Hu San lay on the ground, her mind a tumult, unable to even scream, only issuing unconscious groans of pain.

The disparity in size made the scene exceedingly shocking.

Witnessing this, Master Bai the Fourteenth, and Chang Shengtian, who was supported by it, were momentarily rendered speechless.

Chang Shengtian’s expression had lost its usual arrogance, becoming somewhat like Master Bai the Fourteenth’s gentleness.

"So like, truly alike."

Chang Shengtian stared fixedly at Lv Bai: "Bai Shisi... what do you think..."

Hearing the noise beside him, Master Bai the Fourteenth snapped back, immediately understanding what it implied.

"Indeed, this child might become the next Grandma Wang San."

Lv Bai was unaware of what these two Immortals were chatting about.

Obviously, even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care.

He waved cheerfully at them, asking, "Do you have any way to restore her human form?"

Aunt Hu San’s true form was too large; to use her as a hostage, it would be better for her to transform into a more portable human form.

Master Bai the Fourteenth and Chang Shengtian honestly walked over to the purple-haired fox.

"Well, Xiaobai, extinguish this first."

Master Bai the Fourteenth pointed at the Four Immortal Lotus, speaking in a somewhat fawning tone.

With the Four Immortal Lotus incense burning, these Immortals found it difficult to muster their mana.

Watching Lv Bai extinguish the Four Immortal Lotus with his fingers, Master Bai the Fourteenth immediately got to work, soon controlling the fox to revert to human form.

He observed for a while, ensuring Aunt Hu San was unconscious, only then feeling completely at ease.

"Xiaobai, do you really plan to use her as a hostage?"

Lv Bai, seeing the inquiry, casually gestured.

"Just trying my luck, doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work."

After struggling for most of the night, the sky began to lighten.

Several fire scenes in the county had yet to extinguish, still belching heavy smoke.

With some concentration, he could hear distant cries.

"Alright, hand her to me, you’ve got things to manage."

Lv Bai took the unconscious Aunt Hu San from Master Bai the Fourteenth, motioning him to maintain order quickly.

Master Bai the Fourteenth naturally wouldn’t argue; this county was under his jurisdiction.

Having been unable to intervene before, he could now relieve the populace.

Now free, he dashed toward the city gates.

Realizing he was too slow, he revealed his hedgehog true form, rising into the sky.

Against Immortals with established temple paths, Master Bai the Fourteenth truly lacked power.

But facing those Household Immortals, no matter how numerous, he feared not at all.

The massive hedgehog floated over the county, without delay, launching an attack akin to heavenly scattered flowers.

Sharp spikes, like a dense rain of arrows, pierced through the red-eyed evils.

Unable to perfectly control each spike, evils unlucky enough to be killed couldn’t fault him.

Many survivors cheered immediately; seeing the tide turn, some stout men with hoes and rakes slumped down, finally able to breathe relief.

As for the fires in the county...

What to say, after burning all night, what could burn had burned; now it’s too late to fight the fires, so let them extinguish themselves.

Lv Bai looked up at Master Bai the Fourteenth’s "performance", making no evaluation.

Contrarily, Chang Shengtian’s expression conflicted, perhaps worried that Lv Bai might become a Legendary Incense Master like Grandma Wang San, he sidewise reminded.

"Guarding a territory is too troublesome; I’d rather jump outside and die than become some Manager Immortal."

No indication if Lv Bai heard, he proceeded to slam Aunt Hu San to rouse her.

He watched the beautiful woman still unresponsive, then began striking alternately.

Pah! Pah! Pah!

"Hold up."

Aunt Hu San wide-eyed in terror, hiccupped: "I’m awake... awake, don’t hit anymore."

Lv Bai acknowledged, folding his arms.

"Where is your second brother now?"

"What second brother?"

Pah!

"... Sheepbeard Mountain."

"Are those Reincarnated Demons with him?"

"I don’t know."

Pah!

"Really don’t know..."

Pah!

"..."

Pah!

"I know now..."
