he could only rely on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decisively activating [Ink Black], Lu Bai turned everything before his eyes, including himself, pitch black, like a black hole that appeared out of thin air, devouring all incoming light rays completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Aunt Hu San being stunned by this change of circumstance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure moved like a ghost, silently drifting toward the Purple-Haired Fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pitch-black mana spikes were already gripped in his hand, and once he closed to a certain distance, he abruptly activated [Flash Time].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a great immortal of Aunt Hu San’s level, even in pitch darkness, she could still see normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to the existence of [Flash Time], no matter how vigilant she was, it would be meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the world resumed flowing, the mana spikes in Lu Bai’s hand had already pierced into the Purple-Haired Fox’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Hu San immediately felt stinging pain from the back of her neck and instinctively raised her front paw to touch it, but grabbed at empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her true form was indeed very large in size, and this injury was not actually serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai naturally had not placed all his hope on this one strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it struck, he controlled the great serpent phantom on his left arm, making it like a spring that propelled him toward the fox’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair, he reached out with his right hand, plucking away the Four Immortal Lotus like scooping the moon from the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great serpent phantom that provided the propulsion rapidly contracted, allowing him to spin three and a half turns in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he fiercely twisted his waist and exerted force, shooting out the retracted great serpent phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a heavy punch descending from the heavens, carrying violent great strength, it precisely smashed onto the top of the fox’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the pitch blackness, an extremely dull collision sound rang out, even faintly mixed with the cracking sound of bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness dispersed, revealing the scene at the site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That massive Purple-Haired Fox was head-first into the ground, smashing out a three-meter-square pit, with dense spiderweb-like cracks scattered around the pit’s edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai held the Four Immortal Lotus in his left hand, steadily standing atop the Purple-Haired Fox’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Hu San lay on the ground, her brain churning like stormy seas, unable even to cry out, only emitting unconscious groans of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extreme size disparity between the two made the scene appear especially shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this sight, Master Bai Fourteen, and Chang Shengtian whom he supported, both briefly lost the ability to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Shengtian’s expression no longer held its former arrogance and cold severity, instead becoming somewhat like Master Bai Fourteen’s honest simplicity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He looks just like him, really just like him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Shengtian stared fixedly at Lu Bai: “Master Bai Fourteen… what do you think…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the movement beside him, Master Bai Fourteen came back to his senses and immediately realized what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, this kid might just become the next Grandma Wang San.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai had no idea what these two immortals were chatting about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned and waved at the two of them, saying, “Do you two have any way to make her revert to human form?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Hu San’s Purple-Haired Fox true form was too large; to use her as a hostage, it would be better to have her turn into a more portable human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Bai Fourteen and Chang Shengtian obediently walked to the side of the Purple-Haired Fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, Little Bai, you put that out first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Bai Fourteen pointed at the Four Immortal Lotus, speaking in a slightly fawning tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that incense stick of the Four Immortal Lotus burning, it was not easy for immortals like them to mobilize magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lu Bai pinch out the Four Immortal Lotus with two fingers, Master Bai Fourteen immediately got to work and soon controlled the Purple-Haired Fox to revert to human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a while and confirming that Aunt Hu San was in a comatose state, he finally relaxed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Bai, are you really planning to use her as a hostage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him ask, Lu Bai casually waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just trying my luck; if it doesn’t work, no big deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tossing and turning for most of the night, the sky had already begun to lighten with fish-belly white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several fire sites in the county town were still not extinguished, continuously belching thick smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one held their breath and listened carefully, they could still hear masses of crying and shouting from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, give her to me; you’ve still got work to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai took the comatose Aunt Hu San from Master Bai Fourteen’s hands, gesturing for him to hurry and maintain order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Bai Fourteen naturally would not refute; after all, this county town was his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he simply couldn’t free up his hands and could only let the common folk suffer more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was free, he immediately dashed madly toward the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running some distance, he realized this was too slow, so he simply revealed his hedgehog true form and ascended into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against immortals with temple building cultivation level, Master Bai Fourteen was indeed outmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the opponents were changed to those household guardian immortals, no matter their quantity, he wouldn’t flinch in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive hedgehog suspended in the sky above the county town wasted no time and immediately unleashed a sky-maiden-scattering-flowers barrage of spike attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp spikes were like dense arrow rain, successively piercing through one red-eyed evil spirit after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he couldn’t perfectly control every single spike; if an evil spirit was unlucky and killed on the spot, it really couldn’t be blamed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless disaster-surviving common folk immediately cheered; seeing the tide had turned, some burly men holding hoes and rake-poles plopped down on their butts, finally able to catch their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those few fires in the county town…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, after one night, everything that could burn had burned; putting out the fires now was far too late, so they might as well let the flames die out on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai looked up at Master Bai Fourteen’s “performance” and made no evaluation of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, Chang Shengtian’s expression was conflicted; perhaps he truly worried that Lu Bai would become a legendary incense master like Grandma Wang San, and couldn’t help but remind him indirectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guarding a territory is way too much trouble; even if I jumped down and died outside, I wouldn’t become some steward immortal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai didn’t know if he heard or not, showing no reaction anyway, and silently squatted down to cover Aunt Hu San with a big energy dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that this beautiful woman still showed no reaction, Lu Bai then alternated left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap! Slap! Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Hu San stared wide-eyed in terror, sobbing as she said, “I’m awake… awake, don’t hit me anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai hummed in acknowledgment and crossed his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is your Second Brother now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What Second Brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Yang Hu Zi Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are those reincarnated demon persons all with him too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really don’t know…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1295,"2026-06-03T05:31:12.662Z","2026-06-03T05:31:16.880Z",1,"novelbin.me","44eedce877e9f8b1732e4aa7c47b3adc591f349b33cc34238c925a37821e1245","my-ability-pool-is-superior-chapter-289","my-ability-pool-is-superior-chapter-288",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-ability-pool-is-superior-cover.jpg"]
