Chapter 154 Sneak Attack
Seeing the gloomy man killed in the blink of an eye, Cao Yunfeng was filled with fear, and the magical artifacts he was controlling momentarily sluggish.
His gaze toward Luo Ming was filled with disbelief.
His true identity was actually a member of the Reverse Star Alliance. He originally thought that Luo Ming had just advanced to the Core Formation stage, and although he had a natal magic weapon, it had just been refined and wouldn't pose much of a threat.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's magic weapon not only had amazing defensive power, but could also trap their magic weapon. In addition, there was a spirit beast that could spew divine thunder. Even a typical late-stage Core Formation cultivator would probably be unable to do anything to the opponent for a while.
Everyone in the cultivation world knows that turtle-type demon beasts have the strongest defense.
Run! Get out of here right now.
At this moment, Cao Yunfeng just wanted to get as far away from Luo Ming as possible. His years of experience as a rogue cultivator told him that if he didn't run away quickly, he would lose his life here.
Cao Yunfeng pointed, put away the magic weapon, and turned to flee.
A fierce glint flashed in Luo Ming's eyes, and an invisible force suddenly shot out from between his eyebrows—it was his Fire God Thorn.
Just as the Xuan Turtle devoured the cultivator surnamed Tong, Luo Ming's gaze, as cold as ice, locked onto the horrified Cao Yunfeng.
"now you."
With a slight thought, Luo Ming unleashed an invisible, intensely hot spike from his sea of consciousness!
It was the Vulcan Thorn that he had cultivated in his sea of consciousness for many years.
The longer the Fire God Thorn is cultivated in the sea of consciousness, the stronger its power becomes. This thorn is formless and intangible, and it specializes in attacking the cultivator's soul, making it impossible to defend against.
The Vulcan Thorn, like an invisible venomous snake, shot out silently from between Luo Ming's eyebrows and arrived in front of Cao Yunfeng in an instant!
Cao Yunfeng was still reeling from the tragic death of his companion when he suddenly felt a sharp, burning sensation piercing his brow. His soul was pierced by a needle-like pain and a burning sensation, which terrified him so much that his soul almost left his body.
"A mental attack!" Cao Yunfeng exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide open.
He never expected that while the opponent was controlling numerous magical treasures and spirit beasts in fierce battle, they could also launch such a sharp and strange divine sense attack!
At the critical moment of life and death, a black jade pendant that Cao Yunfeng always wore close to his body, which was inconspicuous, suddenly burst out with a soft yet tough dark light, forming an egg-shaped halo that protected his head, especially the vital point between his eyebrows and his sea of consciousness.
"laugh--!"
The Vulcan thorn slammed into the dark light, creating a violent ripple. The dark light quickly dimmed, and several fine cracks even appeared on the surface of the jade pendant, but it ultimately blocked most of the power of this fatal blow.
However, Cao Yunfeng still felt a "buzz" in his head, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He was in excruciating pain and dizziness, and blood seeped from his seven orifices. His soul was shaken, but thankfully he was not seriously injured.
"A divine sense defense artifact!"
Luo Ming raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but his movements didn't stop at all. With this treasure protecting him, the Fire God's Thorn would be difficult to use in a short time.
Having narrowly escaped death, Cao Yunfeng was filled with lingering fear and dread. Seeing Luo Ming's endless stream of ruthless and decisive methods, even killing the Tong surname cultivator from Jiyin Island in an instant, where was he left with even the slightest will to fight?
We must escape at all costs!
A flicker of pain crossed his eyes, but the will to survive overwhelmed everything. He slammed his hand on his storage bag, and pulled out a talisman with a deep, azure light and exceptionally complex runes, pressing it against his chest without hesitation.
The talisman emitted a bright blue light, instantly transforming into a pure and vast water-attribute spiritual energy that enveloped Cao Yunfeng's entire body.
His figure began to blur and become transparent, as if he was about to merge into the omnipresent water vapor around him, and was about to turn into an invisible stream of water and escape.
This is a Water Escape Talisman, a life-saving item he purchased at a huge price at an auction. (From *A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Starting at Spirit Beast Mountain* - Stunning writing, gripping plot!)
This talisman was enough for him to escape from a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
"Water Release Technique?" Luo Ming sneered.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would be difficult to intercept this talisman, but he had more than one way to intercept water escape techniques.
Just as Cao Yunfeng's body was about to completely turn into water, a three-colored stream of light shot out from Luo Ming's left wrist, which had remained motionless! The three-colored light intertwined and flowed, so fast that it only left a dazzling afterimage in the air. It was the magic weapon made of dragon tendons - the Demon Binding Rope!
This rope is not only incredibly tough, but it also has a strong ability to interfere with and restrict various escape techniques.
The Demon-Binding Rope, like a serpent emerging from its hole, struck first despite being behind, and precisely wrapped around Cao Yunfeng's waist at the delicate moment when most of his body had turned into water and his escape technique was about to be completed!
"Buzz!"
The three-colored spiritual light surged, and the mysterious runes on the rope lit up one by one, as an invisible sealing force suddenly spread out. The dense aquamarine spiritual light that enveloped Cao Yunfeng suddenly froze, as if it had been frozen, and its flow became sluggish.
Cao Yunfeng's water escape technique, which he was about to complete, was abruptly interrupted. His blurry, transparent body was forced to solidify again, and his face was filled with unbelievable despair.
"No!!!"
He let out a defiant roar, frantically channeling his magic power in an attempt to break free, but the Demon-Binding Rope tightened more and more, the three-colored spiritual light acting like shackles, not only binding his physical body but also subtly suppressing the flow of magic power within him.
Luo Ming's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He raised his right hand, and twelve Xuan Yuan Pearls transformed into shadows, appearing above the opponent's head in a flash.
"town!"
Luo Ming gave a soft shout, and the Xuan Yuan Pearl crashed down, directly smashing the opponent's body into a cloud of blood mist.
The combination of the Demon-Binding Rope and the Mystic Yuan Pearl is extremely effective against enemies with escape techniques.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, let's talk this out..."
A tiny primordial spirit possessed a blue jade pendant and cried out in terror to Luo Ming.
He had finally managed to condense his golden core, but he never expected to perish like this today.
Just as Luo Ming was considering whether to take the other party under his wing and make him a henchman like the Golden Gu Old Man,
Behind Luo Ming, in the shadow of the seemingly empty sea reef, several tiny, almost imperceptible golden stars suddenly burst forth without warning!
The Venus particles are as fine as cow's hair, and their color is almost transparent. Only the golden light concentrated to the extreme at the tip reveals their existence.
They did not come in a straight line, but their trajectories were unpredictable, yet their speed was terrifying. They were silent and yet possessed an extreme sharpness that could pierce through everything, aiming directly at Luo Ming's vital points such as the back of his head, back of his heart, and dantian!
A flying needle magic weapon! Moreover, it's a top-tier flying needle with the strongest penetrating power and the metal element, adept at stealth and surprise attacks!
The attackers timed their attack perfectly, just as Luo Ming had finished off Cao Yunfeng and felt that all the enemies were gone, causing him to relax his guard slightly.
A chilling sense of impending death suddenly gripped Luo Ming's heart, making his hair stand on end!
He didn't even have time to turn around, let alone recall the Xuan Yuan Pearl in the distance to strengthen his defenses. It was purely an instinctive reaction honed through life-or-death experiences.
The drop of golden essence blood in Luo Ming's body suddenly shone brightly, and his magical power circulated wildly at an unprecedented speed. A solid, thick, and almost tangible earthen-yellow tortoise-shell-shaped light shield suddenly appeared around Luo Ming, protecting him completely.
It was the Xuan Turtle's defensive divine power, the Xuan Gang Shield.
The textures on the light shield were clear, radiating an aura as solid as a mountain and as immovable as a peak. It could be said to be the strongest defense in Luo Ming's possession at present.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Almost at the same time that the yellowish-brown light shield was formed, countless golden stars attacked!
