Fear, Despair, Begging for Mercy
Yang Daqiang and Guo Liqiang's expressions changed completely.
Such a powerful combined attack was neutralized by Wang Mengde with such ease.
Those are Fire Snake Talisman and Ice Blade Talisman.
The simultaneous release of the two Talisman would force even Seventh-Level Qi Refinement cultivator to temporarily avoid their attacks.
Wang Mengde, a Rogue Cultivator with Five-Element Spirit Root at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining, defeated them all with just two Palm Thunder Techniques?
This is hardly the strength Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement cultivator should possess.
This is simply—it's like facing a master at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement!
The two leaped into the air simultaneously, their Flying Sword abruptly changing direction, plunging headlong into the sea along with their swords.
They knew that while the Palm Thunder Technique attack was extremely powerful, Thunder Method effectiveness would be greatly reduced in seawater.
Lightning strikes in seawater spread and weaken rapidly, losing only a fraction of their original power.
Once you're in the water, you're mostly safe.
At the same time, both of them reached into their robes and swiftly pulled out a Talisman that shimmered with golden light.
Second-tier, basic defensive Talisman: Golden Light Shield Technique.
This Talisman has extremely powerful defensive capabilities. Once activated, it can form a golden spiritual energy shield on the body's surface, enough to withstand the full-force attack of an ordinary Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement cultivator.
Even a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement would need to expend some effort to break through it.
The only drawback is that activation takes time.
Spiritual energy was infused into the Talisman, and the array within Talisman required three to five breaths to fully activate and condense into a complete protective shield.
Three to five breaths.
Normally, it would only take a few blinks.
But at this very moment.
Wang Mengde struck successfully and did not pause for a moment.
His left hand had already reached out, and a second bolt of lightning was rapidly condensing in his palm.
Lightning crackled in his palm, as if he were holding a ball of raging lightning.
His eyes were icy, and his gaze was fixed on Guo Liqiang, who was closest to him.
Guo Liqiang is falling.
His toes had already touched the surface of the sea, and he was about to leap into the deep ocean.
But lightning is faster than him.
A blinding flash of lightning chased after him from behind, the white-purple arc of electricity tearing through the air with a crackling sound, and struck Guo Liqiang hard on the back just as he was about to sink into the water.
The protective Light Barrier that came with the robe had just been formed when it was torn to shreds by the lightning.
Before the sound of the spiritual energy Light Barrier shattering could even be heard, lightning had already pierced through his body.
"Ah..
A short, sharp scream.
A charred hole was blasted into Guo Liqiang's back, with smoke rising from the edges, and the stench of burnt flesh and blood filled the air.
His body convulsed for a moment, then he plummeted straight into the sea like a stone.
Only at this moment did the Golden Light Shield Technique Talisman in his hand finally activate.
Golden light surged from his palm, condensing into a golden Light Barrier resembling an eggshell on his body.
It shone brightly, with runes flowing around it, and appeared to be indestructible.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The person is dead.
Yang Daqiang's pupils contracted violently.
A bone-chilling coldness shot up from his tailbone to the top of his head.
He didn't turn around.
He didn't dare to pause for even a moment.
He exerted all his strength and plunged headfirst into the deep sea.
He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after diving more than three zhang below the surface of the sea.
Although lightning is powerful, it weakens rapidly in seawater.
At this depth, even Wang Mengde's Palm Thunder Technique wouldn't be able to kill him in one strike.
Not to mention.
He has activated the Golden Light Shield Technique.
The golden Light Barrier stood out starkly against the deep sea, the power of the Talisman fully activated, the solidified golden light enveloping his entire body.
This protective shield was strong enough to withstand attacks from cultivators at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement. Wang Mengde was only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement Palm Thunder Technique was very powerful, it was weakened too much in the seawater and could not possibly break through his Golden Light Shield Technique.
Yang Daqiang gritted his teeth and took out a light blue Talisman from his pocket.
Flowing Light Wave-Chasing Talisman.
He frantically poured spiritual power into the Talisman, and the spiritual patterns on the Talisman gradually lit up, emitting a soft blue light.
That beast Wang Mengde wantonly slaughtered the Island Patrol Guards. If he escapes back, I'll make sure my third uncle kills that beast.
The spiritual patterns on the Talisman were already mostly lit up; it would be fully activated in another two or three breaths.
However, at that moment...
Yang Daqiang suddenly felt the surrounding seawater surging violently.
He suddenly looked up.
Through the golden Light Barrier and the deep blue sea, he saw Wang Mengde floating above the sea, his hands rapidly Hand Seals.
The speed at which the Hand Seals was dazzling, making it almost impossible to see the movements of the fingers.
Spiritual energy surged wildly at his fingertips, creating a mysterious resonance with the surrounding seawater.
Almost instantly.
Sharp water arrows condensed in the seawater surrounding Yang Daqiang.
Each of those water arrows was as thick as an arm, with a sharp tip that seemed capable of piercing anything, gleaming with a cold, icy light in the dark seawater.
They surrounded him in dense, numerous numbers, at least several dozen.
Yang Daqiang's pupils contracted violently.
How is that possible?
That sharp aura, that solid form.
That Water Arrow Technique is terrifying.
He even possessed such terrifying Water Arrow Technique.
Wang Mengde raised his hand and waved it on the sea.
Dozens of water arrows shot out from all directions like lightning, accompanied by a piercing sound of water breaking, and slammed into the golden Light Barrier on Yang Daqiang's body.
"Boom boom boom boom boom."
A series of rapid explosions reverberated on the seabed, causing the seawater to surge and silt to fly everywhere.
The golden Light Barrier trembled violently, its spiritual light flickering wildly, diminishing with each bombardment it endured.
The power of those water arrows was astonishing; each one was comparable to a full-force strike from Seventh-Level Qi Refinement cultivator.
Although the Golden Light Shield Technique was sturdy, it began to develop fine cracks under such intense bombardment.
Yang Daqiang's expression changed drastically.
That Water Arrow Technique is terrifying.
How could this beast's Law Technique be so terrifying?
The Palm Thunder Technique works like this, and so does the Water Arrow Technique.
He was utterly terrified.
"Wang Mengde, stop hitting me! I was wrong, I shouldn't have tried to take advantage of you!"
He frantically pleaded telepathically, his voice filled with terror. "Spare me, and I swear I'll never pursue this matter again. My third uncle is the Island Patrol Office; if you kill me, you won't escape either."
He begged for mercy, but his spiritual power didn't stop at all; instead, he poured it into the Flowing Light Wave-Chasing Talisman even more frantically.
The spiritual patterns on the Talisman were already ninety percent lit up, just one last bit away from being fully activated.
Wang Mengde naturally saw Yang Daqiang activate the Talisman.
He formed hand Hand Seals again, unleashing the Entwining Silk Technique.
Countless fine threads of spiritual energy shot through the water and quickly wrapped around the Light Barrier around Yang Daqiang.
It was tied very tightly.
Just then, the Flowing Light Wave-Chasing Talisman was finally activated.
A burst of blue spiritual light erupted from the Talisman, transforming into a streak of azure light that enveloped Yang Daqiang.
However, the spiritual threads of the Entwining Silk Technique tightly bound him, fixing him firmly in place.
The escaping light desperately pulled at his body, trying to carry him away, but the Entwining Silk Technique was like an iron clamp, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
