Slaying the Devil Cultivators
Under the starlight and moonlight of the night, a brilliant golden light rose from Yang Tianyou's body, like Falling Star streaking across the sky, charging forward with unparalleled ferocity.
He gripped the hilts of his swords tightly with both hands, and strands of domineering Blade Intent, powerful enough to cut through gold and jade, surged from the depths of his soul, then condensed on Blade Seed Twin Blades. With his muscles bulging, he slashed down fiercely.
Great White Heavenly Blade!
One strike, and it's a fatal blow!
Boom!
A golden blade of light swept out, like a blazing sun descending, illuminating the world and sweeping away evil spirits. Wherever it passed, the attacks launched by the Green Ram Devil Cultivator were all wiped out and destroyed.
With the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pagoda atop his head and Golden Spirit Armor draped over him, Yang Tianyou forcefully broke through layers of attack aftershocks, and in an instant, he rushed to within a few feet of the Green Ram Devil Cultivator.
At that moment, Liu Changqing and Liu Lingyu's attacks also arrived simultaneously, with two Flying Swords slashing down heavily from above.
Below, on the earth, even more solid boulders rose from the ground and thundered across the sky, crashing into the Green Ram Devil Cultivator.
In an instant, everything—above and below, in all directions—was locked down, leaving no way to escape.
Even in the face of this situation, the Green Ram Devil Cultivator still had no intention of fighting back. His first reaction was not to fight, but to escape.
With a gentle wave of his right hand, he activated three Tier 2 Defensive Talisman, attempting to buy time and create an opportunity for his escape. His will to survive was incredibly strong.
As the creators of Talisman, Talisman Makers can activate their Talisman at a speed that is 20-30% faster than that of normal cultivators, or even more.
In the course of a great battle, this difference in the speed of activation often means the difference between life and death.
As expected of Talisman Cultivator, the Green Ram Devil Cultivator activated several Tier 2 Talisman in the blink of an eye, and the power of the Talisman was not diminished in the slightest.
Buzz!
In mid-air, surrounded by numerous attacks, layer upon layer of defensive shields suddenly appeared. Runes, some complex and some simple, but all exuding a sense of weight, power, and strength, slowly flowed across the surface of the shields.
In terms of direct defensive power, Earth Attribute and Metal Attribute attributes are the strongest. Of the three Talisman summoned by the Green Ram Devil Cultivator, the outermost one is only a Second-Rank Low-Grade Water Attribute Defensive Talisman.
The second and third layers are Defensive Talisman of Metal Attribute and Earth Attributes, respectively, both of which are Second-Tier Middle-Grade.
Boom!
One attack after another fell simultaneously. First came the Flying Sword attacks from the two Foundation Establishment of the Liu Household. Two sword lights, one red and one green, accompanied by a shrill Jianming, slashed fiercely at the outermost light blue protective shield.
Tear!
With two Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking together, this Defensive Talisman, which was only of the Second-Rank Low-Grade, couldn't hold out for long and was torn apart in the blink of an eye.
However, after breaking through the shield, the two Flying Swords dimmed. When the remaining power landed on the second defensive shield, it only caused ripples on the surface of the latter, but failed to break through it. However, it did consume a small portion of the power of the Talisman.
Yang Tianyou, who followed closely behind, raised his Twin Blades high, and wisps of sword light floated in his platinum pupils. The surging killing intent made the Green Ram Devil Cultivator tense up even through the remaining two layers of defensive shields, as if he were being watched by something terrifying.
Clang!
Sparks flew and the clang of metal Dang Kai far and wide, but this was immediately followed by a piercing scraping sound, like a long knife cutting into iron.
Sizzle!
As the moon set in the west, the sharp blade tip traced a breathtaking, perfectly round arc, a Body Integration of power and beauty, cleaving the golden light shield in two along some mysterious path. Its momentum didn't wane as it slashed towards the final layer of Earth Attribute protective shield.
Laugh!
Unexpectedly, this sharp and powerful strike, upon landing, seemed to fall into the mud, being weakened layer by layer by the subtle and yin-like force contained within the protective shield, ultimately disappearing without a trace, while the earthen-yellow protective shield remained intact.
Clearly, this last Talisman was the Green Ram Devil Cultivator's trump card, employing the principle of using softness to overcome hardness, using the earth's weight and inclusiveness to restrain the sharpness and strength of the Great White Heavenly Blade.
Thump!
At this moment, one boulder after another crashed in, striking the earthen-yellow protective barrier heavily.
If the earthen-yellow protective shield and Yang Tianyou's Great White Heavenly Blade represent a clash of orthodox and unorthodox forces, then the impact of these massive boulders against the shield is a direct confrontation, a force against force.
But in a head-on confrontation, how could the earthen-yellow protective shield, which had been significantly depleted by the wear and tear on the Great White Heavenly Blade, possibly withstand Second-Tier Middle-Grade Formation jointly activated by thirty Qi Refining cultivators in the mid- Late Stage Qi Refining?
The result was self-evident; after only a few breaths, the Green Ram Devil Cultivator's last defensive shield broke.
Bang!
The protective shield shattered into countless streams of light, and among these earthy yellow streams of light, a streak of blood-red light stood out, like a crimson rainbow piercing through the sky and speeding away.
This is Blood-Escape Talisman made by the Green Ram Devil Cultivator using his own Essence Blood. Once activated, its speed is comparable to that of Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
If caught off guard, the Green Ram Devil Cultivator, with his speed, might actually escape, but right now Yang Tianyou's side has the advantage in numbers.
Do you think I'm just a decoration?
Liu Changqing's long laugh echoed far and wide; before anyone knew it, he had already intercepted the blood-red light in front of him.
As the laughter subsided, crisscrossing green vines, like an open sack, enveloped the Green Ram Devil Cultivator, trapping him inside.
The Escape Light was broken again, Green Ram Devil Cultivator revealed his figure, his eyes revealing a trace of despair. But before he could make up his mind to fight to the death, Yang Tianyou had already rushed in.
Brush!
Golden blades flashed and fell, like a crescent moon lowering its head, beautiful and moving, yet carrying a chillingly domineering killing intent.
Pfft!
A head, filled with hesitation, astonishment, and panic, flew off. The Green Ram Devil Cultivator never imagined that he would be the first to run away and the first to die.
Killing this Devil Cultivator did not move Yang Tianyou in the slightest. He simply and skillfully collected the other party's Storage Bag and personal treasures, and then rushed to the other side of the battlefield with Liu Changqing.
There, Wolf Ancestor and Liu Lingyu were ravaging the remaining two Devil Cultivators.
After the two Foundation Establishment from the Liu Household each unleashed a sword strike, Liu Lingyu came to support Wolf Ancestor, not because the latter lacked strength, but purely out of fear that the Devil Cultivator would escape.
You must understand, these guys are practically walking bags of Spirit Stones these days. If even one of them gets away, it will mean a significant loss of Spirit Stones. Such losses are naturally something that Immortal Dao cultivators would try their best to avoid.
On the other side, feeling the familiar aura vanish, the two who had been cursing the Green Ram Devil Cultivator trembled in their hearts. Then they exchanged a glance and began to burn their Essence Blood.
Amidst the swirling crimson light, the two Devil Cultivators ' attacks grew increasingly frenzied, like madmen, trading blows for blows, trying to force Wolf Ancestor and Liu Lingyu to clear the path and allow them to escape.
However, the vast difference in strength cannot be bridged by burning Essence Blood. Wolf Ancestor alone could suppress them, and given time, it wouldn't be impossible to kill both of them, let alone with Liu Lingyu added to the mix.
Despite their desperate resistance, the two men were unable to break through the blockade. After Yang Tianyou and Liu Changqing joined the battle, they were both beheaded within moments, their blood splattering across the sky.
