Beast Talisman

Chapter 50: Beast Talisman

Among his peers, Wu Qianqiu might be considered relatively seasoned. However, in Lei Dong's eyes, his deliberate attempt to provoke him with a smile was utterly childish.

As expected, his temperament was not yet steady enough. Upon hearing Lei Dong's taunts, he couldn't help but turn pale with anger, dropping the pretense and revealing a ferocious, jealous expression. "Lei Dong, you truly have a silver tongue. You don't deserve to be a personal disciple. Today, I, Wu Qian..."

Before he could finish his opening remarks, he saw Lei Dong's Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier manifest, brandishing its long saber and charging ferociously. Its movements were swift and imposing, amplified by the Bloodthirsty Art, forming a crimson blur in the air.

Wu Qianqiu hastily deployed his movement technique, leaping backward. He channeled Law and quickly cast a Profound Yin Shield around himself. Almost simultaneously, the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier, using its momentum, struck the Profound Yin Shield fiercely with its blade. The immense force caused the newly formed Profound Yin Shield to ripple and distort, nearly collapsing.

Wu Qianqiu, his expression shifting slightly, didn't even have time to curse his opponent's baseness. He urgently circulated his True Qi and threw a Talisman.

The Talisman shattered into four pieces as it flew, and a semi-transparent, multicolored tiger materialized out of thin air. The moment it appeared, the tiger let out a piercing roar, making ears ring and minds reel. Then, the tiger opened its maw and, with a roar, fired a white-glowing orb towards the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier.

Boom! The Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier reacted with extreme agility, raising its shield to block. With a deafening sound, the resulting shockwave spread outwards, stinging people's cheeks. To everyone's astonishment, the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier was sent flying back several yards, its shield deeply dented.

"What kind of Spells is this?" The ferocity of the imposing, translucent tiger drew gasps of admiration from the surrounding Disciples.

A life-and-death duel was a competition that involved risking one's life. Even in the Evil Sect, such matches couldn't happen every day. In fact, life-and-death duels were infrequent. Consequently, not only disciples from the current generation but even those from the previous one, who were already more mature, had gathered to watch upon hearing the news.

"It's a Beast Talisman, one of the signature spiritual talismans of the Spirit Talisman Sect," exclaimed a young man from the previous generation, who was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. "Judging by the combat power of this Beast Soul, it's at least comparable to someone at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. This talisman is worth no less than three Hundred Spirits."

Three Hundred Spirits? For the vast majority of ordinary Disciples, three Hundred Spirits was an astronomical sum, enough to purchase an excellent Middle Grade Magic Item. A chorus of gasps erupted. Wu Qianqiu, hearing this, felt a surge of pride and commanded the tiger to pounce on Lei Dong.

Lei Dong's expression also changed slightly. He had never even heard of something like a Beast Talisman. The strength of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage was indeed troublesome. Upstarts always act like upstarts, he thought. Lei Dong steadied his mind, channeled Law, and cast a Profound Yin Shield on himself. At the same time, he lightly tapped the ground, a layer of faint black mist enveloping him. Like a Ghost, he rapidly drifted backward, leaving behind afterimages that seemed real yet illusory, making his movements difficult to track.

Boom! The <<Profound Yin Shield was directly shattered. As energy erupted, Lei Dong was sent flying backward. Just as the tiger was about to pursue, the Bloodthirsty Ghost Soldier darted forward, blocking the tiger's path. With saber and shield flashing, it engaged the tiger in combat.

"Three Hundred Spirits can buy such a ferocious Beast Soul? I'd sell everything I own for it." The tiger's power once again amazed the onlookers, who couldn't help but exclaim, "Imagine how imposing it would be to have it swat anyone you dislike! This Beast Soul is much more cost-effective than buying an Upper Grade Magic Item."

"You idiot," the young man scolded. "This Beast Talisman can only be used once, and it lasts for at most a quarter of an hour. Otherwise, do you think three Hundred Spirits could buy such a powerful, battle-ready pet? Besides, this kind of Beast Soul has low Intelligence, not as smart as our Yin Sha Sect's Ghost Servant."

A quarter of an hour? Lei Dong had already commanded his three Ghost Soldiers to form a encirclement around the tiger. Just as he was about to unleash Netherflame Ghost Claw, his sharp ears caught the remark that the Beast Soul only lasted for a quarter of an hour, along with its weakness. A cold smile crept onto his lips. He immediately ordered the Shadow Ghost Soldier to launch a sneak attack from behind, just to see if it could enrage the Beast Soul tiger.

Meanwhile, the Bloodthirsty and Fierce Howl Ghost Soldiers circled in mid-air and directly attacked Wu Qianqiu. Wu Qianqiu, who was still basking in the glory of his Beast Soul's ferocity, glared hatefully at the talkative young man who had exposed its weakness. But facing the two closing-in Ghost Soldiers, he had no choice but to summon a Magic Shield radiating fiery red light. Simultaneously, a Flying Sword of the same style and color was raised and shot directly at Lei Dong.

Clang! A piercing metallic clang echoed through the scene. Right in front of Lei Dong, a shield shrouded in spiritual mist, seemingly without a true form, appeared and forcefully blocked the fierce strike of the fiery red Flying Sword. Ripples tore through the air, blowing Lei Dong's Black Robe backward. His expression, however, remained utterly calm.

Time seemed to stand still. Even the Disciples from the previous generation were stunned. Upper Grade Magic Items, all of them Upper Grade Magic Items.

After the fiery red Flying Sword and the spiritual mist shield clashed, both seemed to have sustained some damage, their lights dimming. However, the fiery red Flying Sword continued to circle Lei Dong, searching for openings and opportunities to attack. But the spiritual mist shield, also an Upper Grade Magic Item, under Lei Dong's control, continuously blocked the fiery red Flying Sword's attack routes, as if it could only harm its master after forcefully breaking through it.

On Wu Qianqiu's side, it seemed to be the same. Two Ghost Soldiers nearing the sixth level's Peak were constantly attacking him with their sabers and arrows. Wu Qianqiu dodged what he could. For what he couldn't dodge, his fiery red Upper Grade Magic Shield naturally provided defense. After all, the defensive power of an Upper Grade Magic Shield was astonishing; it wouldn't be easy for two Ghost Soldiers to break through it in just one or two hits.

Wu Qianqiu no longer had the spare Spiritual Sense or mental energy to micro-manage the Beast Soul, only occasionally issuing commands for it to attack Lei Dong. However, every time the tiger lunged at Lei Dong, it would be provoked by the Shadow Ghost Soldier and redirect its attack towards the shadow.

Indeed, as the young man had said, the Intelligence of the Beast Soul was far inferior to the agility and intelligence of a Ghost Servant. In a sense, a soul beast could only retain a trace of its Demon Beast instincts to drive its actions.

Lei Dong, however, was contemplating that Wu Qianqiu, daring to challenge him to a life-and-death duel, surely wouldn't have only these tricks up his sleeve. While appearing relaxed, he remained extremely cautious. He also deployed Ghost Shadow Escape, making his movements hazy and elusive, doing his best to evade the Flying Sword's attacks rather than relying solely on the spiritual mist shield for defense. Aided by the Cloud Ascending Boots, his Ghost Shadow Escape was exceptionally swift.

At the same time, he flicked his hand. A sword, a deep ink green, as if containing a hint of green that made Souls tremble, pierced the air and attacked Wu Qianqiu.

"Ghost Fire Sword, another Upper Grade Magic Item?" The young man from the previous generation groaned. What kind of monstrous freaks were in this generation? They were all at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so why did they each possess Upper Grade items? He himself had been cultivating for seventeen or eighteen years and had only managed to accumulate two Middle Grade Magic Items. However, his discernment was extraordinary; he could immediately tell the quality of a Magic Item.

Of course, Wu Qianqiu, protected by his Upper Grade Magic Shield, wouldn't be killed by the Ghost Fire Sword. But the powerful strike of the Ghost Fire Sword had also left a crack in his Upper Grade Magic Shield. This startled Wu Qianqiu and made his expression extremely grim. He had initially intended to bully Lei Dong, assuming he would at most have one Upper Grade Magic Item and two Ghost Soldiers. This was because during the Small Competition a year ago, Lei Dong had only used Middle Grade Magic Items, not a single Upper Grade one.

But Wu Qianqiu now knew he had likely kicked a very hard iron plate.
