Dagger Revealed

Clang!

Another bell toll rang out. The evil cultivator's eldest brother had already used the Blood Burning Secret Technique, yet the shock still left his head splitting with pain.

Gritting his teeth as he swallowed the Blood Foam in his mouth, he found this Yellow Maple Valley cultivator's Magic Artifact far more troublesome than he had imagined. Not only was its defensive power astonishing, but every collision with the Bloodthirsty Shuttle sent out a bell toll that injured him.

It had not mattered much at first, but as the number of collisions increased and his injuries worsened, the bell tolls became increasingly powerful!

He was nearly unable to hold on.

Damn it, what was Second Brother doing?!

Why had he not killed that Qi Refining Mid-stage piece of trash yet?!

"Second Brother, come help me at once!"

Hearing his elder brother's urgent cry, the evil cultivator's second brother finally stopped attacking blindly. Panting heavily, he said,

"Kid, you're only relying on that turtle shell. Watch my brother and me slaughter your Senior Brother first, then we'll deal with you!"

After delivering his harsh words, the evil cultivator's second brother recalled the Bloodthirsty Shuttle and moved to join the attack on Yu Ying.

"No way, no way. Do you really think that, just because I have such a supreme defensive Magic Artifact, all I can do is stand here and take hits?"

"What do you mean?"

The evil cultivator's second brother hesitated. Did this brat have an equally powerful offensive Magic Artifact?

"Haha, look above my head. At least you'll understand before you die."

The evil cultivator's second brother subconsciously looked up, and that glance nearly scared him out of his wits.

Several yards above Luo Hong's head, a flaming immortal sword over ten feet long was spinning continuously. As it spun, the sword grew larger and larger, as though it were gathering power.

"Ah! Big Brother, save me!"

The evil cultivator's second brother lost all will to fight and turned to flee.

Luo Hong watched All of This with a smile of triumph.

Behind him, the Blazing Sun Sword was also spinning, except a lens formed by the Water Control Technique hung above it.

Although the enormous flaming immortal sword was merely an illusion without the slightest Spiritual Qi fluctuation, the evil cultivator's second brother had already accepted that Luo Hong possessed powerful Magic Artifacts. His first reaction was bound to be fleeing in panic.

Luo Hong knew he Could Not Possibly deceive him for long, so he shouted,

"Senior Brother Yu, I'm coming to help! Giant Sword Technique!"

The gigantic flaming immortal sword shot straight down!

At this moment, the evil cultivator's eldest brother turned at his second brother's cry for help and happened to see the gigantic flaming immortal sword hurtling toward him. He was instantly terrified out of his wits.

"Ah! Second Brother, save me!"

"What a fine Magic Artifact! Junior Brother Luo, let us join forces and kill the enemy!"

Yu Ying was greatly invigorated. Magic Power surged through him as he drove the Diamond Bell to smash into the evil cultivator's eldest brother with all its strength.

Choosing the lesser of two evils was human instinct. In that instant, the evil cultivator's eldest brother chose to defend against the gigantic flaming immortal sword.

Yet when the seemingly terrifying flaming sword reached him, it passed through his body like an illusion.

"An illusion? Not good!"

The evil cultivator's eldest brother had only just realized he had been fooled when an immense force struck his right shoulder. With a boom, he was sent flying dozens of yards.

He only managed to struggle back to his feet under his second brother's cover, but all he could do was cough up blood. He had essentially lost his ability to fight.

"Haha, Junior Brother Luo, what a fine scheme. Even I was deceived."

With this ambush succeeding, the two evil cultivators could no longer stir up much trouble. Yu Ying, who had been chased so miserably moments ago, was thoroughly delighted.

"Senior Brother Yu, kill them quickly. Delays breed complications!" Luo Hong urged Yu Ying to finish them off.

"Wait, Two Auras are rapidly approaching!" Yu Ying was about to deliver the final blow when he suddenly looked up at the sky.

Before he had finished speaking, two figures landed one after another.

It turned out Li Mingjing had chased an evil cultivator here.

"Third Brother, Big Brother is about to die! Come form the formation!"

"What?!"

The evil cultivator's third brother had no time to be shocked. He hastily formed a strange formation with his other two brothers. Thick black qi roiled from their bodies, forming a black barrier that protected all three of them.

"Hmph, stubborn resistance! Elder Li, Junior Brother Luo, let us attack together and kill these three evil cultivators in one stroke!"

Seeing Li Mingjing arrive, Yu Ying grew even more excited, his urge to show off instantly reaching its peak.

Luo Hong, however, raised his vigilance to the utmost. Xiang Mountain was so vast that Yu Ying running into him without using a Sound Transmission Talisman could perhaps be coincidence. But meeting Li Mingjing, who was pursuing an evil cultivator, shortly afterward could not be explained away as mere chance.

Why does it feel like someone planted a GPS tracker on me? They're all gathering here one after another. Could it be...

Luo Hong looked at the Soul Tablet hanging from his waist and immediately understood.

He looked toward Yu Ying and Li Mingjing, who had already produced their Magic Artifacts. With no time to think further, he swiftly pulled three sheets of Green Talisman Paper from his Storage Bag.

These were supreme talismans Luo Hong had made from Green Talisman Paper and Demon Beast blood. Not only were they far more powerful than ordinary ones, but they could also be activated instantly.

With a flick of Magic Power from his fingertips, Luo Hong casually threw them out. The Rune Patterns on the Green Talisman Paper flashed, and three water bullets flew out in a triangular formation. Their target was none other than Li Xiaowan's granduncle!

At the same time, Yu Ying had already hurled out the Diamond Bell, while the Green Flying Sword Li Mingjing had deployed slashed toward the utterly unprepared Yu Ying.

Sensing that the Spiritual Qi fluctuations behind him were wrong, Yu Ying glanced back, and his mind nearly shut down.

Junior Brother Luo is ambushing Elder Li, Elder Li is ambushing me... so should I ambush Junior Brother Luo?

Fortunately, Yu Ying's instincts were faster than his thoughts. He recalled the Diamond Bell in time to cover himself, leaving Li Mingjing's Flying Sword with only a deep sword mark on its surface.

On Li Mingjing's side, Luo Hong's sudden attack caught him off guard, but they were only a few Water Bullet Talismans.

"Such crude Spells, even if this old man must respond in haste, I can still—urgh, ah!"

As an expert at Qi Refining Level Twelve, Li Mingjing possessed dozens of times more Magic Power than Luo Hong. He believed that simply throwing up a layer of Spiritual Qi barrier would easily block Luo Hong's water bullets.

Unfortunately, his judgment of their power was based on ordinary Water Bullet Talismans. Moreover, Luo Hong had adjusted the spread of the three water bullets, increasing their explosive power by another thirty percent.

Thus, although the physical water bullets were blocked by the Spiritual Qi barrier, the burst of cold still caused Li Mingjing to suffer a minor loss.

This dangerous exchange among the three ended with Luo Hong claiming a slight victory.

Having landed a blow, Luo Hong Knew very well that he and Yu Ying were no match for Li Mingjing in a direct fight. Therefore, he did not intend to give Li Mingjing any chance to catch his breath. His Spiritual Sense Moved as he prepared to take out more supreme Water Bullet Talismans and attack.

Doing So might expose his talisman-making abilities and greatly increase the chance of Hundred Crafts Hall tracing them back to him, but before a life-or-death crisis, Luo Hong could not afford to care about that.

However, just as Luo Hong was about to teach Li Mingjing a lesson with a hundred consecutive Water Bullet Talismans, a violent upheaval occurred without warning!

The ground trembled, and a pillar of black qi Soared Upwards in the distance, changing the color of the sky in an instant.

Luo Hong first felt his head grow dizzy, then his shoulders suddenly became heavy. The Spirit Turtle Shield floating before him lost its Spiritual Qi and fell to the ground like an ordinary object.

The eruption of Earthly Sha was this powerful!
