Chapter 76: Tier 2 Talisman
Kuang Liming snorted coldly, and with a flick of his hand, four Xuan Sha chains flashed and stabbed towards Li Changyan from different directions.
Li Changyan narrowly dodged, but suddenly a light flashed on the serrated knife, and nine serrated teeth flew out of the knife and pierced into the sky.
He wanted to forcefully break through the formation.
Clang!
The serrated edges, like short spears, pierced the light screen high in the sky, unleashing a tremendous shockwave, yet they failed to pierce it.
Meanwhile, in the canyon below...
boom!
Li Feiyu's carriage crashed into the light shield created by the formation and was directly blasted away.
The carriage landed and shattered into pieces.
As the carriage fell, Yang Jiuli dodged and leaped more than ten feet away.
Lu Wenzheng, Liu Yuelong, and Huang Cheng all darted to the side.
"It's a second-tier formation!" Li Feiyu flashed, abandoned his horse, and leaped into the air. He looked solemnly at the blocked path ahead, where a curtain of light exuding a murderous aura seemed to hang down like a curtain of the sky, blocking the way.
Then his gaze shifted and he looked behind him.
But then they saw the carriage carrying the fairy seedling immediately brake and stop thirty meters away.
The horse neighed, the carriage swayed from side to side, and one of the wheels came off.
In that instant, something unexpected happened.
The ground beneath the carriage suddenly cracked.
"Oh no..." Upon seeing this, Li Feiyu exclaimed that something was wrong.
Yang Jiuli's pupils also contracted.
But then a nine-foot-long scaled spirit beast emerged from under the carriage.
This spirit beast had a mouth three feet long, resembling a sharp blade; it was clearly a first-tier, high-grade mountain armor beast.
Its sharp beak rammed directly into the carriage, and a violent, earthy-yellow demonic power erupted from it.
boom!
In the blink of an eye, the carriage shattered, and the violent impact sent the four immortal seedlings inside flying.
Even the steed pulling the carriage next to them was sent flying by the shockwave.
The middle-aged coachman flashed and immediately flew two zhang into the air.
When the middle-aged coachman turned his head to look, he saw the nine-foot-long pangolin open its mouth and bite the body of a fairy seedling that had been knocked away, swallowing it whole. The other fairy seedlings fell to the ground, crying out for help in fear.
Just then, the pangolin beast flashed and pounced on a young immortal dressed in a blue robe.
The fairy seedling was so frightened that it used its hands to support its body and backed away, but the mountain armor beast opened its mouth and bit the fairy seedling's thigh.
"You beast..." The middle-aged coachman sneered, and with a flash of his magic sword, he immediately stabbed at the mountain armor beast.
Clang!
However, this pangolin beast was covered in scales, making it so defensively powerful that it was impossible for an ordinary first-grade high-level magic weapon to harm it.
It merely let out a pained cry before swallowing the young man in the blue robe whole.
The middle-aged coachman moved his hand, and a blazing talisman appeared in his palm, carrying raging flames as it attacked the mountain armor beast.
However, as the Flaming Talisman struck, the mountain armor beast flashed, its earthy yellow aura swirling around it, and it immediately disappeared into the ground.
Meanwhile, on the other side, two more Tier 1 high-grade mountain armor beasts appeared, comparable to those in the late stage of Qi Refining.
A creature emerged from the ground, leaped into the sky, and spat out a three-foot-long earthen cone that pierced towards Li Wannian, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
The other one attacked the seven Li family cultivators who were resisting the attack from the Xuan Yin Valley cultivators.
Caught off guard, Li Wannian immediately used his robe to unleash a wind blade, slashing at the earthen cone.
boom!
The earthen cone was instantly shattered.
But the tall, thin man opposite him seized the opportunity to attack, activating two talismans as his murderous sword struck.
Li Wannian dodged immediately, but was hit by another earth blade spit out by the pangolin beast, and his body flew back more than ten meters.
On the other side, a Li family guard at the eighth level of Qi Refining was ambushed by a mountain armor beast and pierced through the body.
As one side gained an advantage over the other, another Li family guard at the eighth level of Qi Refining was knocked away.
In the blink of an eye, the Li family was clearly at a disadvantage.
"How could this be? How could this be? My cousin didn't give me any information about the Li family!"
At the edge of the canyon, Liu Yuelong stared blankly at the heavily injured Li family cultivators in front of him, trembling with fear.
He schemed and plotted, giving up the opportunity to become a servant in the medicine garden of the Azure Flame Immortal Sect, and came to the Li family to seek his fortune.
Who would have thought that before even entering the Li family, they would be facing annihilation?
"Three top-grade first-tier demonic beasts! Is this Xuan Yin Valley's trump card?" Yang Jiuli murmured.
First, trap people with a formation.
A surprise attack with a first-tier high-grade demonic beast could indeed catch the Li family cultivators off guard and gain the upper hand.
"This rank of high-grade demonic beast has extremely strong defense... If I activate the 'Past Life Talisman' and combine it with the soul secret technique 'Soul Tide', I can kill one. However, if someone is on guard, the deterrent effect of 'Soul Tide' will be greatly reduced."
"In that case, when the other two pangolin beasts and the cultivators come to surround and kill me... I will have no choice but to flee and become a wandering rogue cultivator!"
Yang Jiuli let out a soft breath.
This was clearly not the outcome he wanted.
But now, he has no other choice.
The world of cultivators is like this.
No matter how cautious and cunning you are, you can hardly withstand the unpredictability of life and the vicissitudes of human affairs.
"Unfortunately, I don't have the corpse of a Foundation Establishment level cultivator on me!" Yang Jiuli sighed.
At the same time, he kept a close eye on the situation.
Because another pangolin beast had burrowed underground, their situation was extremely dangerous.
Li Feiyu scanned the surroundings, and his expression darkened when he saw yet another clansman fall to the ground severely injured.
"Don't panic, everyone. Stay alert in case of a sudden attack by mountain beasts. The Li family's reinforcements will arrive soon!" Li Feiyu said.
He did not forget to reassure Liu Yuelong, Lu Wenzheng, and others.
At this moment, these people were all trembling with fear, completely forgetting that they were also minor cultivators.
Under such circumstances, if the mountain beasts were to attack, they would undoubtedly die.
Whoosh, whoosh!
At this moment, three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley stopped fighting with the Li family and flew over, bypassing the battlefield.
Upon seeing this, Lu Wenzheng immediately made a hand gesture, and a low-grade magic sword from his waist was unsheathed and hung nine feet in front of him for self-defense.
Liu Yuelong also held a mid-grade first-level talisman.
A first-grade low-level curved sword hung in front of Huang Cheng, its blade emitting sword energy.
Although they had displayed their magical artifacts, their legs were trembling.
Clearly, everyone knew that their meager magical power was no match for an attack from the enemy.
Yang Jiuli also grasped the low-grade magic sword, Qingxia Sword, ready to unleash his power.
As for those talismans, he did not reveal them, fearing that the enemy would be on guard.
At the same time, Yang Jiuli glanced at Li Feiyu, who was suspended in mid-air in front of him.
Li Feiyu looked at the three people flying towards him with a cold and stern expression.
Although he was very serious, he did not show despair; instead, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Could this person have another trump card?" Upon seeing this, Yang Jiuli's heart stirred slightly, and a certain idea came to mind.
"Hehe, Li family brat, prepare to die!" Just then, the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley flew over.
A cold shout rang out, and the three of them launched a fierce attack on Li Feiyu together.
A dozen or so yin wind blades attacked.
Several more black fireballs came hurtling down.
Another female nun lashed out with a long whip.
Under such an offensive, Li Feiyu, who was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, would definitely find it difficult to cope.
If they try to escape, they will only become easy targets and be killed in one fell swoop.
Li Feiyu did not run away; he remained where he was. With a flick of his hand, he threw out a first-grade high-ranking Flame Talisman.
boom!
The flaming talisman exploded, blasting the whip that had been lashed out at them.
The black fireball was also detonated in the air.
The Yin Wind Blade completely dissipated.
However, Li Feiyu was also thrown back by the aftershocks of the explosion and landed with a stagger.
The aftershocks sent Lu Wenzheng, Huang Cheng, and Liu Yuelong being pushed back several meters.
The group immediately flew backward, but upon landing, they were still shaken by the aftershocks, causing their blood to churn and them to cough up blood.
The aftershocks of this level of attack were simply beyond the ability of cultivators at the second or third level of Qi Refining to withstand.
Those at the later stages of Qi Refining are like ants to those at the early stages.
Therefore, the three cultivators did not attack these people at all, but planned to kill Li Feiyu first.
Yang Jiuli could have withstood the aftershocks, but he also staggered backwards along with the others.
"Haha, putting up a stubborn resistance!" The three cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley snorted coldly, having already dodged the aftershocks, and flew towards Li Feiyu from three directions. With a wave of their hands, a Xuanfeng Blade, a Black Flame Giant Hammer, and a Xuansha Whip attacked.
Seeing this, Li Feiyu advanced instead of retreating. He moved and leaped into the air, only a few feet away from the group.
As he flew into the air, the earth-armored beast leaped into the air and opened its mouth to bite Li Feiyu.
"Second-tier low-grade Thunderclap Talisman... Activate!" As he flew into the air, Li Feiyu made a hand gesture, and a talisman hovered above his head. After a soft shout, it was suddenly activated, with light patterns intertwined on the talisman and lightning flashing.
Immediately following, a violent surge of lightning power erupted forth.
Lightning flashed, and guided by Li Feiyu's divine sense, it slashed down towards the three Xuan Yin Valley cultivators high in the sky.
Another bolt of lightning struck the earth-armored beast attacking from below.
"Not good, it's a second-tier spirit talisman!" The moment the Thunder Talisman was activated, the fluctuations it emitted made the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley jump, sensing a dangerous aura. Before the lightning could even bloom, they immediately retreated.
However, it was still too slow.
That lightning was too fast.
It arrived in an instant.
The three immediately activated their robes, creating a defensive light shield to resist, but it was still instantly shattered.
boom!
The remaining lightning energy surged down and struck the three of them.
The three people were knocked away, all spitting out blood. Even their robes were torn and emitting black smoke, rendering them unusable.
The earth-armored beast below was cleaved to the ground, its body trembling and emitting black smoke.
At this moment, Li Feiyu felt exhausted, seemingly due to a lack of magical power. He flashed and fell from the sky.
Although a second-tier low-grade spirit talisman contains its own magical power, it still requires a vast amount of divine sense and magical power to activate and operate it.
Li Feiyu was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual power and magical power were clearly insufficient to activate the second-tier spirit talisman for a long time.
That's why, even though he possessed such a treasure, he didn't use it immediately.
