Chapter 178: Careful!!

What kind of Taotie ability is that?

In this instant, Long Tian'ao was unable to react in time.

But very quickly, he understood Lu Ren's intention.

A powerful and fierce suction force suddenly surged out from the Taotie's mouth, and all the cultivators present looked over in disbelief.

Some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief and let out exclamations of surprise.

"No way, right?"

Lu Ren was being a bit too reckless! Because they had never imagined that Lu Ren would actually let his Taotie unleash such a strong suction force at this moment.

This was clearly intended to suck all the various auras permeating the scene into the Taotie's belly.

Was Lu Ren truly not insane? Could it be that he didn't know what it meant to do this?

Long Tian'ao looked at the other party in even greater disbelief, his heart refusing to believe it no matter what.

The Taotie was merely a Taotie in its Juvenile Stage.

Could it really be capable of such an outrageous feat? Lu Ren...

He must be crazy! But the Taotie defied everyone's expectations.

It opened its large mouth and sucked violently at the air.

All kinds of auras, accompanied by flying sand and moving stones, flowed into its mouth.

Although the Taotie looked a bit small, and even somewhat comical, this suction force was something no Fierce Beast present could compare to.

However...

Then again.

The only Fierce Beast at the competition site was actually just it.

There wasn't even one more.

Following the Taotie's suction, the auras on the field quickly became weaker and weaker; not a single cultivator present was insensitive, otherwise they wouldn't have remained here.

So they quickly discovered it.

Every person's face revealed a somewhat fascinating expression, and they looked at the small, round belly in disbelief one after another.

"... How on earth did it manage that?"

"This can't be possible, right?!"

"The Taotie is still in its Juvenile Stage, and it already has such a powerful ability?"

Looking at the Taotie obediently at Lu Ren's feet, the expressions in everyone's eyes were different, and all of them felt more or less envious.

This was a Taotie, after all...

They had originally thought a Taotie in its Juvenile Stage wouldn't provide much powerful assistance, but now it seemed completely different.

They were even feeling a bit sour!

How could Lu Ren be so lucky? Especially sensitive people discovered something unusual.

"Lu Ren let the Taotie under his command suck all the auras here away; does that mean these auras are also useful?"

"We were all deceived by him."

"None of us even discovered the usefulness of this aura!"

"I discovered that this kind of aura would be excellent if used for forging, but we didn't have anything capable of containing this kind of aura."

"Damn it!"

The remaining cultivators spoke one after another.

But it was just hindsight, without a shred of useful ability.

Only Long Tian'ao...

Only he watched coldly.

When he sensed that Lu Ren had already set his sights on him, he immediately felt an extremely intense sense of crisis and turned to leave.

But...

Everything was too late.

The sword in his hand flew toward the Taotie's embrace without hesitation; even though he and his sword were both unwilling, there was no way to stop this absurd and pathetic occurrence.

A look of reluctance clearly appeared in the Taotie's eyes, but it still smacked its lips and swallowed his sword.

"My Life-Bound Spirit Sword!"

Long Tian'ao let out a roar of disbelief, looking at his palm that had failed to hold the sword steady, an expression of extreme annoyance immediately appearing in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his head and glared at Lu Ren, his tone filled with extremely intense hatred. "Lu Ren! You've gone too far!"

"Make your Taotie return my sword to me!"

"Don't tell me you aren't afraid that after I get out, I will announce these matters to everyone in the world and let everyone know your true face?"

"Even if I can't tell others, the cultivators present will definitely walk out!"

"Lu Ren, if you don't want your hypocritical face to be exposed, return my sword to me now, and I will even lend you a helping hand!"

Long Tian'ao gathered his wits at this moment; while saying things that would be attractive on the surface, he racked his brains to think of how to escape alive.

Of course, he didn't expect Lu Ren to let him go at this time, nor did he expect the cultivators nearby to be of any help.

He only hoped to use this matter to divert the other party's attention as much as possible.

And then...

Escape alive!

Lu Ren, however, was amused by his words.

The moment Long Tian'ao's Life-Bound Spirit Sword flew into the Taotie's belly, Lu Ren heard the long-lost system notification sound.

The reason the system would prompt him again at this moment.

It is because Long Tian'ao's sword contains a massive secret, one that could even solve the problem with his constitution.

Although his constitution is extremely Yang and rigid, it has an incredibly difficult-to-detect problem: it is so overly rigid that it is very easy for him to burn himself out!

Yet hidden within his sword is a terrifying Secret Technique, a Secret Technique capable of causing the various constitutions throughout the entire cultivation world to undergo varying degrees of inversion and evolution.

And the Qi Luck Value represented by this thing is somewhat terrifying!

What a pity.

This thing has now completely fallen into the hands of Lu Ren.

Long Tian'ao...

He cannot get it back even if he wants to! A cold and intense killing intent finally revealed itself in Lu Ren's eyes.

He spoke indifferently: "Do you really think that at this point in time, I would still spare you?"

Terrible!

Extremely terrible!

Long Tian'ao sensed that extremely intense killing intent in Lu Ren's heart.

He gritted his teeth, "Do you really dare to kill me?"

"Even if you dare to kill me, are you not afraid of the gossip from these cultivators present?"

After hearing these words, Lu Ren smiled indifferently.

Long Tian'ao had originally hoped that what he said would make the other party afraid or force him to surrender, but he did not expect the smile on Lu Ren's face to grow even more intense.

An unbelievable thought suddenly arose in Long Tian'ao's heart.

Immediately after.

He heard Lu Ren say indifferently: "The cultivators present?"

"The people present... where are there any people left?"

The other cultivators who heard him say this were not pleased.

They stepped forward one after another, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

"Family Head Lu, what is the meaning of these words of yours?"

"Could it be that in your eyes, we don't even count as people anymore?"

"Or have you become so arrogant that you don't even put us in your eyes!"

"There are still more than ten of us here!"

"Lu Ren, what exactly do you mean?"

One word from you, one word from me.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Long Tian'ao's heart.

Immediately after, his pupils constricted.

"Watch out!"
