Chapter 17 Feng Yue
Feng Yue narrowed his eyes as he looked at Luo Ming. He had suffered many hidden injuries in his early years. If he could obtain this withered lotus, he could repair all of them and perhaps even attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. Therefore, he was not going to let this item go.
Seeing that the other party wanted to seize the withered lotus, Luo Ming knew that this battle was unavoidable. So he immediately ordered several spirit beasts to restrain the other party first, while he used this opportunity to activate his talisman. To deal with this kind of opponent, he had to use his strongest methods.
"Hmph, you dare to attack me first. After I take you down, I'll let you taste my methods."
Seeing several spirit beasts attacking him, Feng Yue easily dodged several fireballs and water arrows with a flash of spiritual light under his feet. Just as he landed, several earth spikes suddenly shot out from under his feet. It was the rock python hiding underground launching a sneak attack, but he managed to dodge it with its quick reflexes.
"Hmph, kid, you have quite a few spirit beasts, but they're all a bunch of trash. You..." Feng Yue had just sneered when his expression suddenly changed. A yellow umbrella-shaped magic weapon instantly blocked his way. Several cyan wind blades struck it, making banging sounds, but they couldn't break through the defense.
It turned out to be his Yellow Silk Umbrella magic artifact. This treasure actually transformed into a yellow light shield, which enveloped Feng Yue's entire body. The attacks from several spirit beasts that struck it were easily blocked.
Feng Yue was also somewhat angry at this moment. A yellow talisman appeared in his hand. When he activated his magic power, it emitted a strong spiritual energy fluctuation. It was actually a talisman treasure.
Just then, a giant silver sword, several meters in size, slowly took shape on Luo Ming's side. He had already activated the silver sword talisman and, guided by it, slashed at the opponent.
Seeing the astonishing power of the silver giant sword, Feng Yue dared not be careless. He held the yellow silk umbrella in front of him, confident in its defensive capabilities, as even his own small dagger talisman had struggled to break through its defenses.
The silver greatsword shattered the yellow light barrier with overwhelming force, but it was blocked by the main body of the Yellow Umbrella. After a loud bang, the silver greatsword was bounced back.
This umbrella's defensive capabilities are truly astonishing?
Seeing that his silver sword and talisman were unable to break through the defense, Luo Ming's heart sank.
At this moment, the opponent's small dagger talisman had also been activated, and a yellow blade of light shot towards Luo Ming at an extremely fast speed, trying to cut him in two.
Luo Ming immediately summoned his fire copper shield and held it in front of him. He had bought this shield at the market for more than four hundred spirit stones.
The fire copper shield, activated by magic, grew to a size of ten feet, blocking the small dagger talisman outside. For a moment, neither of them could break through the other's defense.
Just then, a sinister glint flashed in Feng Yue's eyes. He manipulated the small dagger talisman to change direction and sped towards the surrounding spirit beasts. He thought to himself: Since it's difficult to kill the opponent, I'll first cut off his spirit beast and sever his arm.
"Get out of the way!" Luo Ming exclaimed, hurriedly maneuvering his silver sword to return to the rescue. However, the dagger talisman was extremely fast, and with Feng Yue's deliberate guidance, it instantly arrived in front of the rock python.
Although the rock python had thick skin and flesh, it was no match for the power of the talisman. With a flash of the knife, the rock python's head separated from its body, dark green blood gushed out, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
Having dealt with the rock python, the small dagger-shaped talisman continued its rapid advance towards the sluggish Xuan Turtle. Upon seeing this, Luo Ming hurriedly summoned the Hunyuan Pearl magic weapon. Under the illumination of an earth-yellow beam of light, the talisman's speed was greatly reduced. It was then struck by the timely-arriving silver sword. After a violent burst of spiritual energy, the small dagger-shaped talisman was destroyed, transforming into a dim talisman that drifted to the ground.
"My talisman!" Feng Yue's eyes widened in fury, and a raging fire surged in his heart.
Seeing that his talisman was destroyed and he had lost his strongest attack method, Feng Yue immediately had the idea of retreating.
"Hmph, I'll remember this grudge and take revenge in the future!" After uttering this harsh remark, a flash of light appeared beneath his feet, and he fled the place at an extremely fast speed.
Luo Ming intended to use the silver sword talisman to pursue, but just as he was about to activate his magic power, he felt a sudden emptiness in his dantian—continuously activating two top-tier magic weapons and the silver sword talisman had already severely depleted his magic power.
He instantly calmed down and gave up the idea of giving chase: the Cloud-Stepping Boots were extremely fast, and with his current state of mana, not only would it be difficult to catch up, but he might also be in danger due to insufficient mana; although the opponent had escaped, he had destroyed the talisman treasure, so he could not come back to provoke him for a while; the most important thing now was to pick the withered lotus leaves as soon as possible and leave this place to avoid attracting other cultivators. As for the grudge of killing the spirit beast, he could settle it with Feng Yue when he was strong enough in the future.
He suppressed his anger, retrieved his silver sword and talisman, and slowly walked to the rock python's corpse. His eyes were cold. This beast had been with him the longest, and he never expected it to perish here today.
Using a magical artifact, he dug a deep pit nearby and buried the body. Then, he took out a small jade shovel and carefully avoided the poisonous miasma in the pool. He dug up the nearly mature withered lotus along with a little soil around its roots and quickly placed it into a pre-prepared jade box to seal it. The jade box could prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out and prevent the medicinal effects of the withered lotus from being lost.
Having done all this, he dared not delay. He immediately found a secluded cave near the pool, sat down cross-legged again, took out the pills and swallowed them, and began to circulate his cultivation technique to restore his magical power.
This recovery took even longer, a full three hours, before Luo Ming slowly finished his practice. After a short rest, he determined his direction and continued his journey toward the center of the forbidden area.
Traveling at breakneck speed, Luo Ming dared not slacken his pace in the slightest, avoiding several waves of demonic beasts and staying far away from places where cultivators seemed to be gathering. Half a day later, a fire crow scouting ahead brought a warning: cultivators were fighting ahead.
As he got closer, Luo Ming used his spirit-attaching technique and discovered that the two people fighting were actually acquaintances.
"Hehe, what a small world!" Luo Ming's lips curled up unconsciously.
A thought struck him, and he immediately restrained his breathing, slowed his pace, and cautiously headed towards the direction from which the sound came.
Stealthily approaching a ridge, and using the cover of branches and leaves, they saw two figures locked in a fierce battle on the open ground below. One of them, dressed in blue, was burly and wore a pair of cloud-stepping boots that gleamed with white light—it was none other than Feng Yue, who had escaped earlier! At this moment, he was manipulating the yellow parasol in his hand to protect himself, while controlling another talismanic flying sword to attack his opponent. It was a mystery how this person possessed so many talismanic treasures.
Feng Yue's opponent was a young cultivator dressed in a blue robe, none other than the old demon Han.
At this moment, he frowned, controlling the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade to attack the opponent while simultaneously manipulating the Flying Shield to defend against the opponent's talisman treasures. However, the spiritual light shield on the Flying Shield was becoming increasingly dim, indicating that it would not be long before the opponent broke through its defenses.
Just as Han Li was racking his brains and frantically thinking of countermeasures, a strong spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly came from the side, and then a blurry phantom flashed and arrived above Feng Yue's head.
