Chapter 157: The Heavenly Poison Talisman of Blazing Fire
Whoosh!
The tornado stirred and instantly transformed into a size sixteen feet wide and thirty feet high.
With overwhelming force, it swept forward, engulfing and shredding all the talisman attacks in its path.
The tornado then swept towards Liu Laoliu and his grandson, as well as Zhang Maoheng, at the cave entrance.
Wherever it passed, boulders were shredded, and fierce winds raged, whipping up a cloud of dust.
"This is a second-tier high-grade talisman!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Maoheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately flew back three zhang to the left.
Grandpa Liu and his grandson immediately flew to the right and retreated three zhang.
boom!
The tornado crashed into the wall of the passageway ahead.
Instantly, rocks tumbled down the cliff face, blocking the entrances to the two passageways.
The passageway was blocked, but Liu Laoliu didn't care much. At this moment, he looked at Yang Jiuli in front of him with a shocked expression.
"That's a second-tier, high-grade 'Golden Bell Shield' talisman!" Old Liu exclaimed, causing a great stir.
Second-tier superior talisman.
Each one is extremely rare.
Once activated, the 'power of magic' within it is nearly equal to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Each one costs more than five thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Even after Liu Laoliu accumulated his resources for decades, he only had a second-tier low-grade talisman.
With a flick of his finger, Yang Jiuli activated two second-tier high-grade talismans, displaying an overwhelming display of power.
Even a top-tier alchemist of the first rank cannot earn so many spirit stones in just one year.
Therefore, he was extremely shocked.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli had slowly gotten up.
He stood inside the Golden Bell Shield, a smile playing on his lips, looking at the Liu family grandfather and grandson, revealing his white teeth as he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, how have you been?" His eyes were clear, as if he were seeing an old friend, but in this situation, Liu Gexian's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
It's hard to imagine that the timid alchemist who claimed to be bad at fighting would have such profound knowledge.
Don't talk about him.
Even Liu Yuelong did not mention it.
It seemed that he had never truly seen the alchemist before him.
"How do you possess so many high-grade second-tier talismans!" Liu Ge asked with a gloomy face.
"A dying man has no need to know too much!" Yang Jiuli said coldly, his hand sweeping out the Cold Fiend Sword. A powerful Cold Fiend Sword aura burst forth from his body like a gale, causing his long hair to fly and his robes to billow and rustle.
"The chilling sword energy..." Upon seeing this, Liu Laoliu's pupils contracted.
"You killed Master Ma?" Liu Ge was shocked and involuntarily took two steps back.
Yang Jiuli's lips curled into a smile. Without saying a word, he flicked his long sword, and sword energy immediately whistled around him.
The cold air turned into frost flowers, covering Yang Jiuli's entire body.
The temperature in the entire cave suddenly dropped.
Frost has formed on the ground.
"Seventh move of the Snowdrift Sword Technique... Sword flowers fall like rain!" Yang Jiuli murmured, his long sword in hand conveying his intent.
Swish, swish, swish!
The sword flowers around him danced and whistled with the sword, shooting out to the left and right like a meteor shower.
Accompanying it was a chilling, malevolent sword aura.
"This sword aura is comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage!" Liu Laoliu thought with awe, and immediately summoned a second-tier talisman with a hand seal.
The talisman flashed and transformed into a light shield about ten feet high and nine feet wide in front of him.
Liu Gexian dodged and immediately hid under the light shield.
Clang!
Countless sword blossoms struck the light barrier, producing clanging sounds. Some sword blossoms fell to the ground, causing frost to condense. An extremely cold aura swept towards Liu Gexian's feet, making him feel as if his internal meridians were about to be frozen.
"Didn't this guy say he wasn't good at fighting magic?" Liu Ge looked at Yang Jiuli in front of him with a look of horror.
Only then did he understand.
The one who is most deeply hidden in Black Wind City is probably the alchemist Yang right now.
"Hmph, just a mere Qi Refining cultivator. Even if you wield second-tier talismans and possess unparalleled swordsmanship... you are still not a Foundation Establishment cultivator." On the other side, Zhang Maoheng snorted coldly. Facing Yang Jiuli's attack, he was not afraid at all, but instead felt very confident.
"Based on my divine sense, Yang Jiuli's strength is currently only comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. However, I am at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment and wield a second-grade high-quality talisman. Dealing with this person is more than enough. Besides... I also have a second-grade early stage Earth Flame Rat." As he thought to himself, Zhang Maoheng flicked his hand, and a talisman radiating golden light flew from his palm.
The talisman transformed into a golden light shield sixteen feet wide, hovering in the air in front, blocking the incoming frost sword flowers. In addition, he made a hand gesture, and the ground burst into blue light, transforming into long blue wooden spears that pierced towards Yang Jiuli from the ground.
Zhang Maoheng suddenly unleashed a second-tier wood-type spell, "Earth-Emerging Azure Spear".
Instantly, green wood sprouted from beneath the golden bell, like serpents, coiling around Yang Jiuli's feet.
Yang Jiuli had already sensed it; his green wood magic surged out, enveloping Li Yourong, and they soared upwards together.
At the same time, the patterns on his robes shone brightly, transforming into raging flames.
The flames rose up, and a fiery shield evolved around him.
The raging flames burned the branches that were swept up from below, turning them to ashes.
However, he was wearing a second-tier high-grade magic robe called "Blazing Armor" underneath, which belonged to Yan Jiuming and had now been activated by him.
"Oh! A second-tier robe!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Maoheng looked surprised, but he was not flustered. Flames leaped out in front of him and pounced directly on Yang Jiuli. When they got closer, they saw a white-furred, red-eyed rat about ten feet tall flying over.
The giant rat opened its mouth and spat out a ball of fire, which attacked Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli made a hand gesture, and a talisman flew out from his palm.
call!
The talisman and the ball of fire collided.
Flames rose from the talisman, unleashing a vast surge of magical power, and a plume of black smoke billowed out.
The two forces collided, transforming into layers of raging energy fluctuations.
The entire cave was filled with flames and black smoke.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli, with Li Yourong in his arms, stood under the Golden Bell Cover.
boom!
The vast flames surged forth, causing the golden bell to tremble and be blasted several meters away.
The bell struck the cave wall, causing it to open and rocks to tumble down.
Fortunately, the Golden Bell Shield was evolved from a second-tier high-grade talisman, so it did not crack, although the light patterns were much dimmer.
It's clearly difficult to sustain for long.
Zhang Maoheng, on the other hand, conjured a protective shield around himself. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and a talisman appeared in his palm.
That was a second-tier high-grade talisman, the "Golden Spear".
"Let's see how you withstand this talisman!" Zhang Maoheng sneered.
This second-tier high-grade talisman was a gift from Jin Yaowen.
He can unleash its full power by using his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.
It was far superior to the second-tier talisman activated by Yang Jiuli.
Just then, Zhang Maoheng felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
"What's going on?" Zhang Maoheng shook his head.
The momentum for activating the talismans has stalled.
He looked at Yang Jiuli with a hint of suspicion.
He then looked at the smoke filling the cave.
"This smoke is poisonous..." Suddenly, Zhang Maoheng's heart tightened.
"Oh no..." On the other side, Liu Laoliu and Liu Gexian also felt a pang of heartache.
The massive shockwave just now shattered the light shield formed by the talisman that Liu Laoliu had summoned.
Smoke rolled in and they inhaled it through their mouths and noses.
At this moment, both of them also felt dizzy.
"Indeed, the talisman I just used is called the 'Heavenly Poison Talisman of Departing Fire'," Yang Jiuli said coldly.
This is an ancient talisman that Yang Jiuli obtained from the memories of a poison talisman master in his previous life.
After several years of study, I have finally completed the painting.
"The 'Heavenly Poison Talisman of Departing Fire'?" Zhang Maoheng frowned, secretly suppressing the poison to stay conscious.
"This little brat is full of tricks, we should end this battle quickly!" he thought to himself.
At that moment, Zhang Maoheng was about to continue activating the second-tier high-grade talisman, the "Golden Light Spear".
Just then, he felt a ripple behind him, and a powerful surge of magical energy emerged out of nowhere.
That fluctuation sent chills down his spine, filling him with a profound sense of dread.
In an instant, Zhang Maoheng turned around to look.
Liu Laoliu and Liu Gexian also sensed the fluctuation and stared intently at it.
But behind Zhang Maoheng, a bright light shone, illuminating the dim cave.
A tall, one-eyed man appeared out of nowhere.
The man was surrounded by swirling black energy, which transformed the area within several meters into a black sea of energy.
At this moment, he reached out his large hand and grabbed at Zhang Maoheng.
The large hand reached out, with black, malevolent winds writhing in its palm, instantly condensing into a three-foot-wide hand.
The large hand pierced through Zhang Maoheng's protective aura, then formed a sword with its fingers and thrust towards Zhang Maoheng's face.
At that moment, Zhang Maoheng turned his head to look behind him.
Upon witnessing this scene, his pupils contracted, and his face showed a look of utter shock.
"Yan..." Zhang Maoheng began, but before he could finish speaking, the finger sword emitted a gust of wind and pierced through his brow.
Zhang Maoheng's spirit was shattered.
The words he was about to say stopped abruptly, and he stared wide-eyed at the man in front of him in disbelief.
Immediately, his body fell backward and died.
"Lord Yan!" At the same time, on the other side, Liu Laoliu also opened his mouth wide and exclaimed in disbelief.
"How is this possible!" Liu Gexian's body trembled, his soul shuddered, and his eyes looked ahead with fear and despair.
The man who suddenly appeared before them was none other than Yan Jiuming's heroic spirit.
In his panic, Yan Jiuming's eyes flickered as he looked at Liu Laoliu and Liu Gexian.
At this moment, Liu Gexian realized that Yan Jiuming was not the real body, but only an illusory heroic spirit.
"Yunmeng Lake...you..." Instantly, Liu Gexian's heart was filled with turmoil.
He recalled a rumor.
Legend has it that three years ago, Xuan Yin Valley and the Four Fiends of Black Wind Mountain launched a surprise attack on Yunmeng Lake, and were about to succeed.
At the critical moment, the Old Ancestor of Yunmeng Lake appeared and turned the tide.
Now that Yan Jiuming's heroic spirit has manifested, Liu Ge's mind raced, and he thought of many things.
However, before he could say anything more, a burst of black light suddenly appeared above his head, transforming into streaks of black, malevolent wind blades that crashed down.
However, Yang Jiuli activated the "Black Fiend Whirlwind Formation," which manifested as a series of wind blades slashing down.
"No..." Liu Ge exclaimed in alarm.
Liu Laoliu used his last "Mysterious Light Shield" talisman to defend himself.
But the countless wind blades slashed down, instantly shattering the 'Mystic Light Shield' and killing him.
Liu Gexian and Liu Laoliu were killed.
On the other side, the Earthflame Rat intended to burrow underground to escape.
However, Yang Jiuli used a second-tier "Frost Talisman" to freeze the ground, preventing him from escaping in time.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Earth Flame Rat also inhaled the poisonous fog and became confused.
