Trading blows

"Damn! That sneaky bastard used a sneak attack!"

Yin Yunze then realized that what Wang Guisheng had seemed to be rambling on was actually a ploy to distract him and launch a sneak attack.

Upon realizing this, Yin Yunze didn't turn back. With a thought, a character with the word "drive" written on it, which was hidden between his fingers, instantly turned into ashes.

In this world, Yin Yunze naturally didn't need to chant those incantations like ordinary mortals.

Without the slightest delay, as soon as Yin Yunze had the idea, the Expel Evil and Dispel Filth sealed within the characters was activated.

As a faint scream rang in his ears, Yin Yunze felt the chill on the back of his neck vanish instantly.

As he retreated further to create distance, Yin Yunze also activated another character with the word "group" written on it between his fingers.

The next moment, Yin Yunze's figure seemed to erase itself like an eraser, his entire form becoming blurred and disappearing from Wang Guisheng's sight.

For safety's sake, Yin Yunze chose to conceal himself using Illusion Technique. Moreover, Yin Yunze did not use single-target Illusion Technique, but instead used an illusion targeting the entire group, erasing his figure from Wang Guisheng's sight.

Illusion Technique may be used to bully ordinary people, but they are unlikely to be effective against cultivators with true extraordinary abilities.

In particular, enemies like Wang Guisheng, who may have prior intelligence about Yin Yunze, need to be treated with even greater caution.

As expected, upon seeing Yin Yunze disappear before his eyes, Wang Guisheng immediately sneered, "Illusion Technique? A mere trick!"

Wang Guisheng bit his fingertip, touched his brow, made several hand seals, and shouted, "The Dharma Eye of Illusion Breaking! Open!"

Although Yin Yunze didn't feel that his Illusion Technique had been broken after Wang Guisheng's words, Wang Guisheng's gaze seemed to see through the illusion and quickly refocused on Yin Yunze.

After shifting his position several times and finding that he couldn't escape Wang Guisheng's sight, Yin Yunze finally realized that the old man was indeed unaffected by the Illusion Technique.

Yin Yunze didn't seem to care much about this.

After all, Yin Yunze knew that Illusion Technique magic was mainly used to bully weaker opponents.

With a wave of his hand, a Fire Character Talisman between his fingers turned to ashes, and a bright green fireball flew rapidly toward Wang Guisheng.

Fox Fire? Not worth mentioning!

With a flick of his wrist, a dark, indistinct beam of light flew out from Wang Guisheng's sleeve. As this beam of light struck the Fox Fire, the Fox Fire extinguished mid-air.

Seeing this, Yin Yunze didn't waste any words and once again activated the other two Fire Character Talisman between his fingers, transforming them into two Fox Fire that flew towards Wang Guisheng.

In response, Wang Guisheng simply raised his hand, and two beams of dark light flew into the Fox Fire, forcibly extinguishing it.

Seeing that he seemed to have the upper hand, Wang Guisheng stood proudly, stroked his beard, and laughed, "Little fox demon, you've run out of tricks, haven't you? I advise you to surrender obediently and serve me, and I'll preserve your cultivation! Otherwise, I'll definitely skin you alive and tear your tendons out!"

Yin Yunze knew about Illusion Technique and Fox Fire, which Wang Guisheng naturally learned from Spirit Medium Wang. As Yin Yunze's first and second test subjects, the mother and son also had a deep memory of these two skills.

Having learned this information early on, Wang Guisheng also prepared methods to counter Illusion Technique and Fox Fire.

Seeing that Yin Yunze had only used Fox Fire repeatedly without any other methods after using those two skills, Wang Guisheng felt confident of victory.

After all, a wild fox from the mountains wouldn't possess so many magical arts.

Illusion Technique, Fox Fire, and the unknown Law Technique to dispel the ghost hand— Yin Yunze has already used three Law Techniques.

For an ordinary monster that has become sentient, it's already quite good if it has even one decent skill. The fact that Yin Yunze could unleash three skills in a row without even breaking a sweat was already beyond Wang Guisheng's expectations.

Yin Yunze couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wang Guisheng's inexplicable confidence.

No, this has only just begun, it's still a tentative stage of exchanging basic skills, how can you declare victory already?

Seeing Wang Guisheng's smug look, Yin Yunze doubled his efforts, pulling out four more Fire Character Talisman. Combined with the four he had pulled out earlier, he created a total of eight fireballs, almost forming a wall of fire, which rained down on Wang Guisheng.

"He has some skills, but it's still just amateurish!"

Upon seeing the wall of fire formed by the eight Fox Fire, Wang Guisheng spoke casually, but his face involuntarily stiffened.

With a flick of his wrist, what emerged from his sleeve this time was not a black light, but a white bone whip.

Wielding his bone whip, Wang Guisheng cleaved the wall of fire in two. He followed with a horizontal sweep and then a mid-air twist. The four pieces of the wall of fire grazed past Wang Guisheng and landed on either side, igniting two rows of pillars of fire.

Looking at the bone whip, Yin Yunze paused, unable to contain his curiosity. Was this thing a magical Law Artifact?

If so, this was the first time Yin Yunze had seen that black command flag—or rather, he had just seen it.

That was the first time Yin Yunze had ever seen Law Artifact used by someone in this world!

Anyway, as long as you add enough modifiers, anything can become number one.

However, Yin Yunze's pause gave Wang Guisheng the wrong impression.

After smashing the wall of fire, Wang Guisheng gave a stylish flick, unleashing a sonic boom, and arrogantly declared again, "Little fox demon, with this Flame-Extinguishing Whip made from the bones of the Fire-Averse Snake Serpent, no matter how much Fox Fire you have, it can't harm me!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

With a chuckle, Yin Yunze didn't bother counting the number and simply grabbed a handful, about thirty or forty Fire Character Talisman.

Of these thousands of characters, Yin Yunze only considered the other characters as being good enough. However, the Fire Character Talisman, which sealed the Fox Fire and was the primary means of attack, accounted for a full 80% of all the characters.

With two daily restockings over the past month, we've got at least 800, if not a thousand, so we have plenty to go around!

No matter what, I'm not afraid of anything. This is exactly what Yin Yunze is doing!

"Old man, catch it!"

With a flick of his hand, the dozens of Fire Character Talisman transformed into fireballs one after another, then connected end to end, forming a long, serpentine formation that rushed towards Wang Guisheng.

Seeing this display, Wang Guisheng's face paled slightly, and he wished he could slap himself for making such boastful remarks!

At the same time, Wang Guisheng couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Let's be reasonable, please!

Can anyone tell me?

How could a wild fox spirit possibly unleash dozens of Law Techniques in one go!

Wang Guisheng initially thought these characters were just a pretense by Yin Yunze, but now he realized that they were all real talismans!

Seeing the bulging purse around Yin Yunze's waist, with at least several hundred bills in reserve, Wang Guisheng felt like dying!

Who is this celestial fox that they raised?!

Even direct disciples don't receive this treatment!

Could it be that some important figure's favored concubine has come out to gain prestige and indulge in romantic pursuits?

Wang Guisheng had initially thought he was a hunter who came to capture the fox demon. But now it seems he has become the prey hunted by the fox demon!

Lost in his thoughts, Wang Guisheng was no longer as composed as before.

In fact, if these characters weren't transformed from the free Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Yin Yunze wouldn't have been willing to use the Power of Incense Offerings to activate them. He really wouldn't have been willing to throw away so many at once.

But since this is transformed from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, that's a different story.

Even if you throw away twice as much at once, it will only take a couple of days.

Faced with these rapidly approaching fireballs, Wang Guisheng felt fear, but there was nothing he could do. He could only forcefully swing the Flame-Extinguishing Whip in his right hand, forming a horizontal figure-eight shape to block the approaching fireballs.

At the same time, his left hand was also ready, occasionally unleashing a beam of dark light to block the fireballs that the Flame-Extinguishing Whip had not completely blocked.

A series of crackling sounds rang out, almost one per second, and in just over ten seconds, Wang Guisheng dealt with more than ten fireballs.

However, as a price to pay, Wang Guisheng also felt his right hand, which was wielding the Flame-Extinguishing Whip, begin to weaken and tremble.

Realizing that things had spiraled out of his control, Wang Guisheng began to consider backing down.

Thinking about it this way, my reaction was immediately a beat slower.

Yin Yunze didn't just sit idly by after throwing the fireball; he kept a close eye on Wang Guisheng's reaction.

When Yin Yunze noticed that Wang Guisheng was distracted by thinking about escaping, he reacted immediately.

Just as Wang Guisheng was about to habitually strike the fireball in front of him, it suddenly exploded right in front of Wang Guisheng.

Faced with the Fox Fire that suddenly exploded into a sky full of sparks, neither Wang Guisheng's Flame-Extinguishing Whip nor the unknown dark light could immediately form an effective defense.

A scream rang out as the Fox Fire burned Wang Guisheng's face.

This momentary lapse in attention left no opportunity to prevent the subsequent fireballs from being launched.

Seeing that the sneak attack had succeeded, Yin Yunze seized the opportunity and shouted:

"Explode! Explode! Explode! Explode! Explode! Explode! Explode! Explode, all of you!"
