Supreme-grade Purple Lightning Talisman
Seeing that the five rings were up to no good, the two dared not be careless and quickly used their respective skills to defend themselves.
On the left, Wang Chongyue held his Law Artifact shield horizontally in front of him, pouring in Spiritual Power, causing the shield's surface to glow brightly.
Wang Chongming on the right also began to form Method Formula, his entire body enveloped in Golden Armor Talisman and talismanic light.
But the most troublesome part of this Heaven and Earth Ring lies in the word "linked".
Wang Chongyue raised his shield to deflect one of the rings, and the second one followed immediately.
He used his strength to knock a ring away; the ring circled in the air, returned, and plunged back into the formation. The five rings linked end to end, cycling endlessly without stopping.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The five crisp sounds were almost in a row, as the five rings struck the same spot in turn. The mid-grade Law Artifact shield shattered and exploded into fragments.
With the shield shattered, the cannon barrage was no longer obstructed, and more than a dozen shells rained down on Wang Chongyue.
His protective Gang Qi was pierced in just half a breath, and blood exploded on the spot. He screamed and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the roadside bushes, his fate unknown.
After eliminating one, the five rings spun rapidly, all heading straight for Wang Chongming on the right.
Zhou Li, who was providing support from the rear, finally changed his expression.
He thought taking down a junior at the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer would be a piece of cake, but he never expected that this kid would have such a powerful Law Treasure in his hands, with the five elements circulating and endlessly regenerating, it was definitely not an ordinary magic Law Artifact.
Seeing that Wang Chongming was about to collapse, Zhou Li dared not be careless any longer. He snorted coldly, drew a dark, gleaming ghost-headed knife from his back, and lunged forward.
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Ring had already slammed into Wang Chongming's golden armor, causing the golden light to flicker violently, and it looked like it was about to shatter.
Zhou Li was in mid-air, his ghost-headed saber wrapped in powerful Spiritual Power, and he swept it into the linked formation.
He was, after all, at the Qi Refining Great Perfection, and his Spiritual Power was far beyond that of the other two. With a single strike, all five rings were shattered and scattered in all directions, breaking the Five Elements Linked Formation on the spot.
Shen Jingchuan's eyes narrowed, and his Divine Sense quickly probed out. On one hand, he forcibly gathered the five Heaven and Earth Rings that had been scattered, making them wrap around Zhou Li again; on the other hand, he multitasked, turning the aircraft cannon around to continue suppressing Wang Chongming.
With the attack from the Heaven and Earth Ring gone, Wang Chongming's pressure was greatly reduced. Relying on his protective Gang Qi and his shaky golden armor, he actually withstood the barrage of cannon fire.
He was a ruthless man. Seeing that his cousin was courting death, he knew he had met his match and that simply holding on wouldn't work. So he immediately took out two more Earth Wall Talisman, one of which he slapped in front of him to erect an earthen wall.
Another Fireball Talisman was summoned in mid-air, and a fireball roared straight towards Shen Jingchuan on the roof of the car.
Shen Jingchuan knew that he himself had the protection of the jade pendant, so being hit once or twice wouldn't be a problem. But this aircraft cannon was made of ordinary iron, not Law Artifact Law Technique. Any spell or talisman that touched it would destroy it on the spot.
He dared not be careless. He took out two high-grade Vajra Talisman, slapped one onto the fuselage of the cannon with a "smack," and stuck the other to his chest. With a surge of Spiritual Power, a layer of pale golden light rippled out from both places at the same time, protecting both the man and the cannon and blocking the fireball.
In that very moment, the cannon's ammunition belt ran out again.
"Damn, this is a mess."
Shen Jingchuan cursed under his breath, but his hands didn't hesitate. He quickly pulled out another box of shells from his Ring and snapped on a new ammunition belt.
In that moment of distraction, the control over the Five Elements Rings weakened. Without the guidance of Divine Sense, the five rings' attack faltered, and they spun aimlessly in the air, relying only on their remaining momentum.
He quickly focused his attention to catch it again, adjusted his spin, and swung it at Zhou Li once more.
This delay gave Wang Chongming an opening. He made a Method Formula, let out a low shout, and several cyan wind blades materialized out of thin air, whistling as they slashed towards Shen Jingchuan on the roof of the car.
"Clang! Clang!" The wind blade struck the Vajra Talisman light shield, sending up two strings of sparks, before being blocked again.
As Shen Jingchuan parried the attacks, he felt increasingly uneasy.
The Five Elements Heaven and Earth Ring is indeed powerful, but it has also revealed a huge flaw – it consumes too much Spiritual Power.
In just a short while, his Spiritual Power had already decreased by a third.
Shen Jingchuan was secretly surprised. He had the Five Phases Spirit Root and cultivated the Heaven-level Five Elements Qi Refining Instruction. In terms of Spiritual Power alone, it was several times thicker than that of other cultivators of the same level, which had always been his source of confidence.
He had only practiced repeatedly in the cave abode, knowing that this Law Treasure consumed a lot of Spiritual Power. He never expected that he would realize how quickly it absorbed Spiritual Power when they actually fought.
Even someone with his solid foundation couldn't handle it, which shows how much Spiritual Power this thing consumes.
You can't win if you play like this.
He's just putting up a brave fight right now, and he's even starting to lose. Once his Spiritual Power is depleted, he won't be able to turn the tide with just one aerial cannon; he has no other means of attack left.
What to do?
Shen Jingchuan gritted his teeth. He had always been reluctant to use that top-grade Purple Lightning Talisman, intending to keep it as a life-saving treasure.
But right now, he didn't want to reveal his last trick for escaping—that was all he had left.
To ensure absolute safety, he did not immediately unleash the Purple Lightning Talisman. Instead, he first took out two high-grade attack talismans and attacked with both hands. One Blazing Flame Talisman rushed towards Zhou Li, and the other Wind Blade Talisman swept towards Wang Chongming.
Both Law Technique unleashed were quite powerful.
Zhou Li snorted coldly, and with a horizontal slash of his ghost-headed saber, a blade of light cleaved the ball of flame in two, scattering sparks everywhere; Wang Chongming, on the other hand, shrank behind the earthen wall, and the wind blades "thudded" as they struck the earthen wall and the golden armor, which he managed to withstand.
Just as they were parrying, the Five Elements Heaven and Earth Rings snapped back into position, spun around, and pounced on Zhou Li once more.
Zhou Li's sword was heavy and steady, and his Spiritual Power was even more abundant. He neither dodged nor avoided, and directly slashed at the ring that was pointing at him.
With a loud clang, the ring whose light dimmed was struck by his strike and it spun away; the second ring followed closely behind, only to be smashed apart by his backhand strike.
Zhou Li knocked the Heaven and Earth Ring away with two slashes, looking relaxed on the surface, but cursing inwardly.
What the hell is that thing? How can it be so powerful?
What he didn't know was that the five-colored ring, which spun around and looked light and graceful, was actually a huge iron lump weighing several hundred pounds, ridiculously heavy.
With the added Spiritual Power and speed, each strike weighed more than a thousand pounds, making his hands tingle.
Is this really something that Qi Refinement Fifth Layer could produce? He stared at the rings, his eyes burning with greed—he had to get his hands on such a treasure today, no matter what.
Putting everything else aside, as long as we can seize these five strange circles, any risk we take today will be worthwhile.
The Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Linked Formation was missing two rings, causing its rotation to stagnate and its power to drop significantly.
Just as their minds were completely captivated by the two superior-grade talismans and the Five Elements Ring—
Shen Jingchuan moved.
The top-grade Purple Lightning Talisman that he had hidden away at the very end silently slipped between his fingers, and he suddenly channeled his Spiritual Power.
When Zhou Li and Wang Chongming saw him about to activate the talisman, they initially thought it was the same attack talisman as before, and instinctively prepared to use their internal energy to block it, showing no fear on their faces.
But in the next instant, the talisman burned out, and a blinding purple lightning bolt shot into the sky. The violent power of the lightning spirit instantly filled the entire valley, and the crackling thunder made people's eardrums hurt.
