The Heaven-and-Earth Avatar seemed to sense something and abruptly turned around.
Only then did it notice the earthy-yellow glow lighting up the Cave behind it.
The glow came from Jiang Yushan, radiating from within his body and giving it an extremely familiar feeling.
Black Kun Thick Earth Talisman!
A flicker of surprise crossed the Heaven-and-Earth Avatar's eyes.
To prevent Jiang Yushan from possessing some bizarre means, Ye Bing had long since thrown his storage ring into that ruin rather than bringing it out. Yet neither it nor Ye Bing had expected Jiang Yushan to have a Black Kun Thick Earth Talisman hidden within his body.
As for the person controlling the Black Kun Thick Earth Talisman, it was naturally not Jiang Yushan, but Jiang Lanruo, hundreds of miles away.
At this moment, her hands rapidly formed seals, activating the talisman.
The Heaven-and-Earth Avatar looked at the earthy-yellow shield surrounding Jiang Yushan but did not attempt to attack it.
With its strength, it was impossible for it to break through this shield. Only Song Wen's true body might have had a chance.
Nor did it flee. It merely stood where it was and watched helplessly as Hong Zhe's nine corpse nails closed in and pierced its body.
The Heaven-and-Earth Avatar suddenly exploded, but no flesh or blood flew out—only wood chips filled the sky.
"Eh! It was actually just an avatar." Hong Zhe spoke with some surprise.
But he did not dwell on it. Together with Jiang Lanruo, one in front and one behind, they entered the Cave.
After crouching down to inspect Jiang Yushan, Jiang Lanruo turned back to Hong Zhe.
"Elder Hong Zhe, he is not seriously injured. His physical body and soul merely suffered some impact, and he has temporarily fallen unconscious."
"That is good. Wake him first.
