Chapter 032

Su Jiu held a stack of talismans in his left hand, took a step forward, and drew one out with his right hand. Su Jiu pinched the talisman between his index and middle fingers, and with a flick of his right hand, the energy within his body surged rapidly. The talisman between his fingers quickly caught fire, and a ball of flame rapidly appeared in Su Jiu's right hand. Su Jiu waved his hand forward, and the fireball shot towards Luo Zhonghai at high speed.

"Fireball Talisman!" Luo Zhonghai exclaimed in surprise.

This time, the middle-aged man in front of Su Jiu was not as calm. His hands moved quickly, performing a set of palm techniques, each palm strike hitting the fireball while he rapidly retreated. After several strikes, the fireball was finally extinguished.

At this moment, the surprise in Luo Zhonghai's heart far exceeded the calmness he showed on his face, leaving him deeply shocked.

The Fireball Talisman, this was a legendary talisman. It was not the so-called Fireball Talisman of today. The moment Su Jiu launched it, Luo Zhonghai felt a sense of danger.

An ordinary Fireball Talisman was just a decoy, not a true Fireball Talisman.

From the moment the fireball left Su Jiu's hand, Luo Zhonghai felt as if he was being targeted. He knew he couldn't dodge it; it had already locked onto him, and he could only withstand it.

This was the source of Luo Zhonghai's sense of danger.

The creation and painting of such talismans had long been lost. He never expected that the young man from the Su family in front of him could actually use this talisman.

Looking at the stack of talismans in Su Jiu's hand, Luo Zhonghai couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. He could handle one or two talismans, and even three or four wouldn't be a problem, but Su Jiu had a large handful, at least dozens of them. Could it be that the young man from the Su family was going to use all the family's treasures?

At this moment, Luo Zhonghai was no longer calm. He had just boasted that Su Jiu could use any means, but now he was faced with this situation.

Was he really going to have to withstand it?

Right at this moment,

"Senior Luo, you are indeed skilled. You handled the Fireball Talisman with just a few palm strikes. Seeing how easily you did it, I am truly impressed. However, I have more than just the Fireball Talisman in my hand."

Su Jiu's calm voice echoed.

Luo Zhonghai's expression changes had not escaped Su Jiu's notice. Su Jiu had already guessed the situation accurately.

"This is a Lightning Attraction Talisman, Senior Luo, please be cautious." Su Jiu's eyes flashed, and he loudly shouted, quickly drawing out a talisman with his right hand. His internal energy surged, and he waved his hand towards Luo Zhonghai again.

A loud "Boom!" echoed.

Where Luo Zhonghai had just stood, a large pit appeared on the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Zhonghai couldn't help but feel a chill. If Su Jiu hadn't warned him and he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been severely injured by that Lightning Attraction Talisman.

Even though he had dodged the Lightning Attraction Talisman, he was still affected by the aftereffects, and half of his body was numb. At this moment, Luo Zhonghai looked at Su Jiu with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He also felt regret. Why had he provoked this young monster? Why had he boasted so much?

Luo Zhonghai's current mood was indescribable.

The Su family had such a capable person; they didn't need his help at all. This was all his own doing, a result of his own overconfidence.

All these thoughts flashed through Luo Zhonghai's mind in an instant.

Seeing Su Jiu's calm eyes, his pupils slightly contracted, and Luo Zhonghai was startled again.

"Stop! Stop! Young man from the Su family, I'll return the compass to you. I won't play with you anymore. Your Su family has the ability to protect this compass; there's no need for me to interfere. I was just bored."

Luo Zhonghai quickly said, and at the same time, he took the compass out of his pocket and threw it directly to Su Jiu.

Hearing Luo Zhonghai's words, Su Jiu was momentarily stunned and felt a sense of relief.

He hadn't expected that the middle-aged man in front of him would so easily return the compass.

He was also secretly relieved. The two talismans he had used had already consumed one-fifth of his internal energy. If this continued, he didn't know how many more talismans he could use.

The middle-aged man in front of him was clearly at least at the late-stage Qi Cultivation level. Dodging a few talismans should not be a problem for him.

Although it seemed that he had the upper hand, in a real battle, the enemy wouldn't stand still and wait for him to use talismans.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Su Jiu stopped his right hand's movement, caught the thrown compass, and carefully examined it. This was indeed his family's heirloom compass; the energy was unmistakable.

He put the compass away. Although Su Jiu was full of questions, he did not ask them.

"Young man from the Su family, you are called Su Jiu, right? Old Su has a good grandson!" Seeing Su Jiu stop, Luo Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know my grandfather?"

"Yes, I can be considered a life-and-death friend of Old Su. If not for this relationship, why would I bother with your Su family's affairs?" Luo Zhonghai's originally calm tone became agitated again when Su Jiu mentioned his grandfather.

The previous scene had indeed made him lose face. Fortunately, there were no outsiders present. If his peers saw it, they would say that the famous Master Luo had been "bullied" by a young member of the Su family.

"You mustn't tell your grandfather about this!" Most importantly, if the old man from the Su family found out, he would surely mock him.

"Hearing Senior Luo's words, it seems this compass has some secrets?" Hearing Luo Zhonghai's words, Su Jiu finally voiced his suspicions and questions.

From the tone of the other party, the middle-aged man in front of him was not a bad person. Upon careful consideration, he realized that the other party had not been particularly hostile from the beginning.

If the other party was indeed a life-and-death friend of his grandfather, then everything made sense.

Therefore, Su Jiu asked about his doubts.

"Indeed, this compass of your Su family is related to a significant secret. Hasn't Old Su told you? It doesn't make sense. Given your current strength, Old Su shouldn't have kept it from you." Luo Zhonghai finished speaking and looked at Su Jiu with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he were looking at a rare item.

Su Jiu felt uneasy under this gaze. If the other party were not his senior, Su Jiu would have suspected that the middle-aged man had some special hobbies or was a strange uncle.

"Cough, cough!"

"Senior Luo, my current strength has only improved in the past two months, and my grandfather doesn't know about my strength."

"I don't know what secret this compass is related to?"

"Is that so! This compass is indeed related to a significant secret of your Su family. This is a long story..."
