Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One fireball after another, tongues of flame whipping in all directions, lit up the cavern.
"How is this possible?!"
At first, Lin Daoyi had watched Wei Suo with calm composure, mockery in his eyes. But after only a moment, his eyes involuntarily bulged out like those of a dead fish.
"How could he possibly have so many Fireball Talismans?!"
The minds of the two beauties behind Wei Suo, Nangong Yuqing and Ye Guowei, were also filled with question marks. No matter how they looked at it, Wei Suo was nothing more than an utterly ordinary little Rogue Cultivator. Judging from his earlier display, the True Essence technique he cultivated was merely an extremely common low-grade cultivation art, and the only spell he seemed to know was that azure water blade, whose power was not particularly formidable.
Yet in that short span of time, Wei Suo had consecutively activated more than a dozen Fireball Talismans, blasting through all five wind walls Lin Daoyi had unleashed.
And every time he used one, he immediately pulled out another, as though he still had plenty on him.
Even if a low-level Rogue Cultivator happened to come into a windfall, he would surely buy various different talismans and magical items to carry around. He would never buy so many identical talismans.
Unless he was truly an idiot. But although his hairstyle looked idiotic, he seemed far shrewder than most people.
"Go die!"
Originally, Lin Daoyi had intended to stand perfectly still and let Wei Suo attack, wanting to see what expression Wei Suo would wear when his Fireball Talismans ran out. But after Wei Suo consecutively blasted through five of his wind walls, he could no longer endure it. As he hastily poured in True Essence, five or six glowing sigils shot out from the Magic Treasure Replica in his hand, which resembled a block of brass.
This Magic Treasure Replica of his seemed inferior to a genuine Magic Treasure only in power. The five or six glowing sigils it released actually passed straight through the wind wall before him without obstruction, then suddenly condensed with the surrounding surging vital energy into streaks of golden light blades that flew toward Wei Suo.
The True Essence in Wei Suo's Spirit Heaven Jade Pendant had already been fully infused as well. When the five or six golden light blades tore through the air toward them, a spiritual light barrier had already enveloped him, Nangong Yuqing, and the others.
But with several sharp popping explosions, the spiritual light barrier shook violently, looking as though it was about to fail at once.
"No way, right?"
Wei Suo was startled as well. He hurriedly pulled out the Golden Light Talisman he had bought earlier and activated it in a flurry.
Outside the spiritual light barrier, which seemed on the verge of collapse, another pale golden barrier immediately appeared.
"I'd like to see whether your Fireball Talismans are stronger, or my Magic Treasure Replica is stronger!"
Seeing Wei Suo's frantic appearance, Lin Daoyi gritted his teeth fiercely and once again poured an endless stream of True Essence into the Magic Treasure Replica in his hand.
After receiving so much of his True Essence, six even brighter golden glowing sigils emerged once more from the brass-block-like Magic Treasure Replica.
As Lin Daoyi's True Essence was nearly exhausted, his face turned extremely pale. He directly pulled out two bottles of Qi Replenishing Powder, threw back his head, and gulped them all down.
Crack! Crack!
The golden barrier formed by the Golden Light Talisman Wei Suo had bought for half a Low-grade Spirit Stone shattered first. The spiritual light barrier within was immediately smashed apart like an eggshell as well.
Ye Xiaozheng held his door-panel-like heavy sword crosswise before Wei Suo, helping him block a wave of golden light blades whose force had not yet dissipated. But with a clang, even Ye Xiaozheng, who had already cast the Great Strength Technique, felt both hands go numb and nearly lost his grip on the heavy sword. The force pressed him back against Wei Suo. With a single glance, even this honest giant, whose mind was usually somewhat slow, was greatly alarmed. A deep dent had actually been carved into the heavy sword forged from dark iron by the golden light blades.
With the heavy sword pressing crosswise against him, Wei Suo nearly got flattened and fell backward onto the ground on his backside.
"Haha, go die!"
The moment he saw Wei Suo's side thrown into complete disarray, Lin Daoyi could not help bursting into wild laughter as he desperately poured True Essence into the Magic Treasure Replica in his hand again.
In his eyes, Wei Suo absolutely could not withstand the next strike from his Magic Treasure.
Yet his wild laughter had barely begun when it abruptly stopped, like a duck whose throat had been clutched.
Because he saw that a small earthen-yellow shield had appeared before Wei Suo. And when Wei Suo reached into his robes, he actually pulled out more Fireball Talismans. This time, he took out six or seven at once. Apart from keeping one for himself, Wei Suo stuffed two each into the hands of Nangong Yuqing, Ye Guowei, and even Ye Xiaozheng.
"Damn it, so what if you've got a Magic Treasure Replica? Everyone, blast him together!"
After stuffing two Fireball Talismans into each of Nangong Yuqing and the others' hands, Wei Suo immediately shouted this.
"Just how many Fireball Talismans is he carrying?!"
At this point, Lin Daoyi's heart completely collapsed.
With a crack, the True Essence he was pouring into the magical item in his hand suddenly went out of control, flooding in far too violently. Had it been a genuine Magic Treasure, then with Lin Daoyi's current True Essence cultivation, even an overly fierce infusion of True Essence would never have caused any problem. But the one in his hand was, after all, merely a Magic Treasure Replica. Its material was inherently far inferior to the body of a genuine Magic Treasure. With that cracking sound, not only did the brass-block-like object fail to release golden glowing sigils, several long, thin cracks appeared across it instead.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as his face went utterly pale, four fireballs as large as winnowing baskets slammed one after another into the wind wall before him.
By the time the third fireball, its tongues of flame whipping in all directions, struck the wind wall, the entire wall had already collapsed. The fourth fireball then struck him directly.
"Ah!"
Lin Daoyi was blasted backward through the air. Amid his shrill scream, nearly his entire upper body was engulfed in blazing flames. With a heavy thud, he crashed to the ground. When the cold aura from the ice spider silk wrapped around those dried corpses seeped into him, the flames on Lin Daoyi's body quickly went out. But his entire head had been roasted like a baked sweet potato. He was dead beyond any doubt.
"Damn it." Seeing Lin Daoyi die, Wei Suo finally let out a long breath and wiped away his sweat.
To be honest, fighting cultivators was dozens of times more thrilling and dangerous than fighting demonic beasts. Demonic beasts at least had fixed habits and weaknesses to exploit, but people had far more methods than demonic beasts. Fortunately, his luck had been good and he had carried so many Fireball Talismans. Otherwise, he had only just advanced to the Third Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm and had not even had a few days to feel proud of it before dying at the hands of this black-eating-black bastard. That truly would have left him unable to rest in peace.
(Wahaha, my luck has exploded today. When I arrived at Changsha Airport, goose-feather snow was falling from the sky, and my heart went cold. I never expected the plane to be delayed only briefly before taking off smoothly. When it took off, everything was practically a vast expanse of white and nothing could be seen, so I felt rather uneasy. Now I've arrived safely in Wuxi. Starting tomorrow, I can keep exploding with updates again, so everyone, keep it up too!)
