I'm Not a Member of the Wang Household
The cold air poured down like a tide, freezing the entire mountaintop.
Zhao Jiufeng and Wang Xuanji were Foundation Establishment cultivators after all, so they weren't frozen solid immediately, but their hands and feet stiffened and their movements slowed down.
Treading Snow a spell while urgently shouting.
"Little Black, teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
"That yellow paper is dangerous, don't let him release it!"
Little Black heard it, but didn't respond.
She unleashed her full Demon Power, her single horn radiating dark light that soared into the sky, and she also unleashed her Innate Divine Ability.
"Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens!"
Rumble--
A series of thunderclaps, accompanied by lightning, crashed down on the two of them.
The two were frozen in mid-air, trying to dodge, but their bodies were too slow to move, so they could only endure it.
The air was filled with ice and snow, and the humidity was high, so the lightning bolts shot in all directions, leaving nowhere to hide.
After a barrage of bombardments, the two old men were charred black.
Zhao Jiufeng's hair stood on end, and he kept cursing.
"This is like undergoing tribulation! Is that tribulation lightning?"
Wang Xuanji couldn't even reply; a tightness gripped his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just then, the Heaven and Earth Ring arrived.
He had to use his internal energy to resist the lightning while suppressing the chill invading his body, and he was already in a state of disarray, unable to even control his flying sword.
One of the five gold rings struck him hard in the chest.
Wang Xuanji was sent flying by the impact.
Shen Jingchuan went all out, pushing the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Linked Formation to its maximum power.
He can hold out for at most a minute, and it's hard to say how long he can last. Right now, he can only fight.
With the addition of the formation, the power of the Heaven and Earth Ring doubled out of thin air.
Although Wang Xuanji was Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could not withstand this attack, as the golden ring swept past his chest.
He plummeted from mid-air, landed motionless, and his fate remains unknown.
Shen Jingchuan felt that almost half of his Spiritual Power had been drained, so he dared not be negligent.
He took out two high-grade Spirit Recovery Pills, put them in his mouth, and his Spiritual Power surged back. Then he activated the formation and pressed towards Wang Xuanji to deliver the final blow.
Wang Xuanji was on the ground, suddenly moved.
He wasn't quite dead after all. Seeing the Heaven and Earth Ring closing in, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a talisman.
That was his trump card, a high-grade second-tier Heaven-Burning Talisman.
As soon as the talisman was activated, half the sky turned red, and a raging sea of fire, accompanied by heat waves, surged toward Shen Jingchuan.
Shen Jingchuan's expression changed drastically.
He couldn't withstand that attack.
At the critical moment, with a single thought, he vanished into thin air and retreated back into his Heaven and Earth Ring.
The Ring turned into a speck of dust and drifted slowly to the ground.
The fire missed its target, burning the rocks with a crackling sound and melting a large area of them.
Zhao Jiufeng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he looked like he'd seen a ghost.
"Instant Teleportation Talisman? This kid even has Instant Teleportation Talisman!"
He forced himself to extend his Divine Sense to its maximum, repeatedly probing his surroundings.
It was empty; there was nothing there.
Just as Wang Xuanji released the Heaven-Burning Talisman, the Five Elements Heaven and Earth Ring arrived.
Although Shen Jingchuan hid inside the Ring, the five gold rings continued to spin forward along their original trajectory.
One, two, three... all five, without missing a single one, landed on Wang Xuanji.
He was already bleeding from the mouth after being struck by lightning, so how could he withstand this series of blows?
The golden ring ripped through him, Wang Xuanji died instantly without uttering a sound.
Zhao Jiufeng watched helplessly as the man surnamed Shen vanished into thin air, and when he turned around, Wang Xuanji had already collapsed.
Treading Snow also noticed her master had disappeared. She was stunned at first, then realized what was happening.
"Master has run back into her spatial dimension." She flapped her wings and called out happily to Little Black.
"The owner cheated; he ran away halfway through the fight."
Little Black kept staring at Zhao Jiufeng as he replied to her.
"What's so special about that? That's called being resourceful."
She spread her Divine Sense and said to Treading Snow, "That guy surnamed Wang is already dead. Let's work together to deal with this old bastard."
Treading Snow glanced at Zhao Jiufeng's hand; he was still clutching the yellow paper.
"Did you see that? That yellow paper in that old guy's hand is definitely one of those deadly things."
"Hurry and chop him down, don't let him use it."
Little Black responded.
"Alright, resolve this as soon as possible. I'm afraid my Demon Power is insufficient."
Treading Snow gritted her teeth. "I'm almost done too."
She didn't care about conserving her strength; her unicorn horn blazed with frost, unleashing another "Icebound for a Thousand Li" attack, pressing down with all her might.
Little Black followed closely behind, its single horn radiating dark light, unleashing another Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens that crashed down, refusing to let Zhao Jiufeng make a move.
Zhao Jiufeng is really good at handling things.
He unleashed all his Spiritual Power to protect himself, with two shields positioned in front and behind, plus the talisman's spiritual light enveloping his body, completely shielding him.
Even so, I was still shivering all over from the cold, and my hands and feet were stiff.
Currents of electricity coursed through his body again, and he had to distract himself to suppress them.
The man surnamed Shen has vanished without a trace, but these two Demon Beasts are proving to be quite troublesome.
Zhao Jiufeng hardened his heart, planning to activate the last second-tier talisman to kill or at least severely injure the two beasts so he could escape.
If we don't leave now, we'll lose our lives here.
He had finally recovered somewhat and was about to activate the talisman.
Treading Snow had already rushed over recklessly, the frost on her single horn on her forehead gleaming coldly, aiming straight for his chest.
Seeing this, Little Black also decided to go all out.
Fearing that lightning might accidentally injure Treading Snow, she stopped releasing lightning, lowered her horn, and swooped down.
Little Black was incredibly fast, arriving first despite being behind, and a dark shadow crashed straight into Zhao Jiufeng's back.
Zhao Jiufeng sensed the wind and hurriedly turned to hide.
But he was frozen by the cold air, and his movements were a beat too slow. He didn't make a proper impact, but was swept away by the Little Black wing and flew sideways.
Treading Snow then lunged forward, only to hit nothing.
"Little Black Sister, you're always causing trouble for me."
Little Black didn't reply, turned around and unleashed another bolt of lightning at Zhao Jiufeng, then pounced again.
Treading Snow turned around, gritted her teeth, and flew back.
Her Demon Power was almost depleted; with her last ounce of strength, she charged forward with her single horn, crashing into the enemy.
Zhao Jiufeng was already numb from the electric shock and frozen stiff, so he had no way to dodge.
With a muffled groan, he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, lying in the dust, barely alive.
Just then, Shen Jingchuan emerged from the Ring.
He had already figured it out inside; the threat of the Heaven-Burning Talisman had dissipated.
He raised his hand and the Ring slipped back onto his finger. The Five Elements Heaven and Earth Ring that had fallen to the ground flew up again, spinning rapidly, and hurtled towards Zhao Jiufeng.
Zhao Jiufeng had just caught his breath, still clutching the second-tier talisman he hadn't had time to activate, and was about to urge it again.
A gold ring struck his wrist first.
With a "crack," his wrist was broken, and the yellow paper fluttered to the ground.
Zhao Jiufeng dared not move again and shouted urgently at the top of his lungs.
"Young Friend Shen, stop!"
"I'm not Wang Household, my surname is Zhao!"
