Might of the Thunderclap Bead

"Demon Transformation Talisman, so you prepared this method too!"

Seeing Ye Jingyun's transformation, Yu Yuehai finally lost his relaxed demeanor and became serious.

"This talisman is not easy to refine. It seems you've been preparing for a long time. I underestimated you."

He patted his Storage Bag and finally took out his pitch-black Flying Sword.

"Then let me see if you can escape from my hands after transforming into a Demon!"

As he spoke, Yu Yuehai formed a Hand Seal, and the Flying Sword turned into a black snake, coiling around Ye Jingyun's neck with its head shaking and tail wagging.

Ye Jingyun's eyes turned blood red, and she let out a non-human roar. She didn't dodge at all. With a slap of her scaled hand, she sent the Flying Sword flying away. Then, she opened her fanged mouth and lunged at Yu Yuehai!

Yu Yuehai dared not confront her directly. His body flickered, creating three afterimages, and he appeared thirty feet away in the next moment.

Then, he recalled his Flying Sword, patted his Storage Bag again, and took out a bronze mirror. He flashed it at Ye Jingyun, and a strange talisman seal emitted from the mirror's surface, instantly imprinting itself on Ye Jingyun's mutated head.

Ye Jingyun's massive body paused. She roared and struggled continuously, but she couldn't break free from the talisman seal's suppression.

"Hmph, even if you've schemed everything, so what!"

Seeing Ye Jingyun's beast-like appearance, Yu Yuehai snorted coldly. The Flying Sword in his hand grew more than three feet long and slashed towards her with terrifying fluctuations.

However, he didn't aim for a vital spot. Since he still needed her soul to refine pills, he chose her shoulder.

"Roar!"

As the sword light approached, Ye Jingyun roared again, her body expanding further. A black light emanated from her, and the talisman seal on her forehead flickered before shattering. She didn't dodge but took the sword head-on, charging forward and sending Yu Yuehai flying!

He landed directly behind Chen Lin.

Chen Lin, who had been closely watching the battle, didn't hesitate. He activated his Nameless Sword Qi, sending it out from his body to knock away the talisman on the forehead.

After regaining his ability to move, he immediately patted his Storage Bag and held the Thunderclap No. 4, which was larger than a soccer ball, in his hands.

"Damn it!"

He first cast a Vajra Shield spell on himself, then poured all his Magical Power into his hands with all his might, and hurled the Thunderclap No. 4!

Without even looking at the effect, he immediately slapped an Earth Escape Talisman onto himself, determined his direction, and zipped into the earth.

This was Chen Lin's first time using Earth Escape, and he felt a strong pressure, like swimming in water.

However, he didn't have time to experience it. He just kept accelerating and took the opportunity to crush another Vajra Talisman.

He hadn't escaped far when he heard a deafening explosion. The surrounding soil vibrated violently, and the spot where he was located was lifted by a powerful shockwave.

At the same time, the Six Ding Mysterious Armor Talisman on his chest shattered, forming a shimmering, flowing armor around him.

Chen Lin felt his internal organs shift from the impact, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

But he let out bursts of laughter!

"Hahaha... With this power, you won't die!"

He had been worried that his self-created stacked Thunderclap Bead wouldn't work, as he hadn't tested it before. But now, it seemed his innate abilities were indeed trustworthy!

Laughing, he was thrown to the ground. Chen Lin flipped over and stood up, looking in the direction of the explosion.

He was instantly dumbfounded!

Holy crap, this power is too immense!

Looking at the large crater blown out in the distance and the plowed ground around it, he felt a chill.

Under such an explosion, Yu Yuehai, who was at the center, shouldn't have survived, right?

Chen Lin's eyes burned with desire.

Those five clan leaders and Yu Yuehai were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators. If their Storage Bags weren't destroyed, the contents would surely be astonishing.

If nothing else, Yu Yuehai's Alchemy Furnace alone made him covetous.

And that yellow mirror, along with the opponent's black Flying Sword, were all good treasures.

He moved his body, about to rush over to investigate.

"No!"

He had only taken one step when Chen Lin stopped.

Although the Thunderclap No. 4 is powerful, this is the cultivation world after all. I can't think with my past life's mindset. My life is more important. What good are treasures if I'm dead!

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin finally suppressed his greed and turned to flee at full speed!

The entire mountain hollow fell silent.

A moment later, in the crater that had been blown out, a mound of earth moved, and a figure stood up from within.

It was Yu Yuehai.

He was extremely disheveled at the moment, covered in blood, and one of his arms was missing, revealing bare white bone below his shoulder.

Compared to his physical injuries, his face was even more terrifying, his features contorted, and his rage was boundless.

"Heh, good, good, good. I, Yu Yuehai, chased geese all my life, only to be pecked by one. When I find you, I'll let you taste my methods!"

He cursed through gritted teeth, then looked towards the location of the five clan leaders, his expression growing even more grim.

There was no chieftain left, only a patch of blasted earth. Those old guys were either blown to bits or buried alive.

After years of meticulous planning, on the verge of success, everything was destroyed in an instant. It would be as difficult as reaching the heavens to gather five cultivators with complete five-elemental Foundation Establishment realms again.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Yu Yuehai could no longer maintain his composure, letting out a bestial roar.

Just then, a golden light suddenly appeared, shooting straight towards his chest.

The golden light was incredibly fast, and he had no time to dodge. The defensive magic tools and talismans on his body had all been used up in the recent explosion.

In desperation, he could only cast a Rank 2 defensive spell, the Elemental Spirit Shield, forming a shield around his body.

However, this Primal Spirit Shield couldn't block the golden light at all. It was pierced through effortlessly, as if made of paper. The golden light passed through his body and flew out from behind him.

"Pfft!"

Yu Yuehai spat out a mouthful of blood, swayed in utter horror, and collapsed onto the ground.

Silence fell once more.

After a long while, a figure struggled to stand up on the other side of the dirt pit.

It was Ye Jingyun.

Her body had returned to its normal size, but the abnormalities on her body had not disappeared, and her injuries were even more horrific than Yu Yuehai's.

She didn't check her injuries first. Instead, she glanced at the fine scales on her skin with a look of disgust.

The reason she had been reluctant to use the Demon Transformation Talisman was that once used, the transformation would be permanent. She would have to remain in this monstrous form forever.

However, she had finally killed Yu Yuehai, and years of deep hatred were avenged in one go.

She then looked heartbrokenly at the talisman in her hand, which had turned to ash. This talisman was a charm left to her by her father. It could have been used three more times, but she had unleashed its full power all at once to kill Yu Yuehai.

At the same time, she was incredibly fortunate. If she hadn't been the farthest from the explosion's epicenter, and if her defense hadn't greatly increased after her transformation, along with her defensive magic artifact, she would have been blown to smithereens this time.

"They're all cunning old foxes, each more devious than the last!"

Ye Jingyun glanced around, not finding Chen Lin, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

She hadn't expected the one who laughed last to be the weakest one.
