Chapter 208 The Power of the Blood Sword
boom!
Li Ping subtly made a hand seal: "Go."
Suddenly—
"Hey!"
A clear whistling sound rang out in the air, and then the Fire Ring suddenly accelerated, rushing straight towards the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Li Ping's idea was simple: the Blood Banner's blood-corroding poison caused more severe symptoms the lower one's cultivation level.
Because he was worried about Xiao Yunzhi being killed, he didn't have time to release more toxins, so the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were actually only slightly affected.
It's better to cut off one finger than to injure all five!
Li Ping decided to first ambush and kill three mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, and then slowly deal with the remaining two late-Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Boom!"
Carrying terrifying power, the Fire Ring crashed directly into the defensive magic weapon hastily pulled out by one of the Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators. It shattered the defensive magic weapon into pieces and also directly turned the Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator into minced meat and vaporized him.
Immediately, Li Huohuan turned and pounced on another mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Kunhu roared anxiously and subconsciously tried to control the Command Ruler Talisman to block the Fire Ring.
But before he could do it, he inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
Looking up, he saw a black-armored, black-faced cultivator holding a bow as tall as a man, who had drawn his bow and arrow and was now firmly locked onto him!
As he slowly drew back the bowstring, a dazzling light emanated from the bow and arrow, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
"Late stage of Foundation Establishment!" Kun Hu's expression changed drastically upon sensing the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from this person.
"call out!"
As the puppet released its grip, the bow and arrow transformed into a dark streak of light, carrying terrifying power as it hurtled towards Kun Hu, seemingly intent on blasting him into dust!
Without bothering to control the Spirit Ruler to block the Fire Ring, Kun Hu hurriedly took out a green shield and manipulated it to grow several feet tall to block in front of him.
Even after doing all this, he still felt uneasy. With a determined effort, the river formed by the Spirit Ruler Talisman rushed back, creating an undulating light barrier around it.
boom!
With a deafening roar, Kunhu's second-tier superior shield shattered instantly. The remaining power of the arrow, carrying the shield, crashed heavily into the light barrier formed by the Spirit Ruler Talisman, eventually dissipating slowly.
Before Kunhu could even catch his breath, he saw the black-armored cultivator pull out another black feathered arrow from his back...
Just as Li Ping suddenly appeared, killing a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and releasing a puppet to entangle Kun Hu, Xiao Yunzhi immediately understood his plan.
"Hey!"
With a low cry, the Flame Bird turned and pounced on the remaining late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, preventing him from rescuing the other two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
A moment later—
boom!
boom!
With two consecutive loud bangs, the remaining two Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been poisoned by the Blood Corrosion Poison were also reduced to ashes by the impact of the Fire Ring!
Li Ping was about to control the Fire Ring Talisman and the puppet to attack Kun Hu when he was shocked to see that the talisman suddenly reverted to its original form before he could react further.
The talisman he had bought at a high price fell to the ground, completely devoid of its spiritual power. As it hit the ground, it burst into flames with a hiss, turning into ashes in a matter of moments, which vanished without a trace with a gust of wind.
Upon seeing this, Li Ping couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that this was because the power sealed within the Fire Ring Talisman had been completely exhausted after killing three mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.
That's the downside of talismans: while their power surpasses that of high-grade magic artifacts, they can only be used a limited number of times.
However, Li Ping possessed more than just the Fire Ring; as soon as he appeared, he summoned both Jia Yi and Jia Er simultaneously.
Originally, he planned to have each of the two puppets entangle a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
However, Xiao Yunzhi took the initiative to share the burden with him, so only Jia Yi drew his bow and arrow to distract one of the late Foundation Establishment cultivators, while Jia Er was left free.
Li Ping made a decisive move, handing over the blood-red sword talisman he had obtained from Hua Hong to Jia Er, who then infused it with his magic power to activate the talisman.
However, the Blood Sword Talisman was a powerful talisman crafted by a late-stage Core Formation cultivator by sealing his own natal magic weapon. Therefore, activating it consumed a great deal of mana, and Jia Er was still unable to activate it in this short time.
After glancing at the battle between Xiao Yunzhi and the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with the triangular face, I noticed that Xiao Yunzhi was putting the pressure on her opponent.
Li Ping felt relieved, patted the storage bag at his waist, and the purple-gold fork flew out, flashing golden light as it stabbed towards Kun Hu.
Kun Hu had been on guard for a long time, but when he realized that the puppet had not yet fired the arrow, and that all the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had entered the secret realm with him were dead, he knew perfectly well that the other party was just trying to scare him.
He was furious!
But there was no use in being anxious. Faced with the flying fork, he could only use the Spirit Ruler Talisman to block it.
Upon impact, his magical power was already greater than Li Ping's, and the talisman he was using was even more terrifying than Li Ping's superior-grade magic weapon. Thus, he easily suppressed the flying fork's spiritual light, causing it to retreat step by step.
However, that was all. The puppet was still waiting with its bow drawn and arrow ready to strike. Kun Hu had to conserve a lot of his energy to defend against the arrow, and he didn't dare to attack recklessly and kill Li Ping, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
On this side, Li Ping was waiting for Jia Er to activate the Blood Sword Talisman, while Kun Hu was entangled.
On the other side, the triangular-faced late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was completely unable to withstand the flaming divine bird formed by Xiao Yunzhi's secret technique.
The first to suffer was the horned demon beast, which was grabbed and torn to pieces by the firebird. Next was the triangular-faced Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was chased and fled in a sorry state, and was not far from death.
From the moment Li Ping launched his sneak attack until now, the situation has gradually shifted in his favor, and he's happy to slack off.
But Kunhu's anxiety grew even stronger: "I can't wait any longer, otherwise, if Xiao Yunzhi kills Jiaodu and they join forces, I will surely die!"
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about guarding against the puppet's hidden arrows. He directly manipulated most of the small rulers that the Spirit Ruler Talisman had split into into a river, which densely smashed towards Li Ping, leaving only a few to fight with the Purple Gold Fork.
This scene was naturally noticed by Li Ping. While releasing the Blood Transformation Shield to block the incoming Spirit Ruler, he also ordered Jia Yi to attack again without hesitation!
"Boom!"
Amidst a deafening roar, the black streak of light pierced through the void at an alarming speed, shooting directly toward Kun Hu!
Kun Hu was prepared. A small bronze bell flew out of his storage bag and grew rapidly in the wind, turning into a height of more than ten feet in the blink of an eye. It shone brightly and blocked him from view.
clang!
The puppet fired a sharp arrow that struck the bronze bell. The bronze bell could not withstand such terrifying power. The side that was struck was torn apart like paper. The remaining force of the impact, carrying fragments of the bronze bell, struck the other side of the bell, shattering it. At the same time, the power was finally almost exhausted.
Witnessing the destruction of the bronze bell, Kunhu's eyes showed heartache.
Fortunately, after shattering the bronze bell, the power of the attack was almost exhausted. With the power greatly reduced, he easily dodged it with a quick movement.
On the other side, Li Ping was also struggling to control the Blood Transformation Shield to block the small rulers attacking from all directions.
The Blood-Transforming Shield is a top-grade magic weapon, so it naturally wouldn't be damaged. However, every time it blocked an attack, his magic power would fluctuate slightly. If this continued, he would eventually be unable to hold on.
Jia Yi had exhausted too many spirit stones and was unable to launch a full-force attack again. He could only control a flying knife to relieve the pressure on Li Ping!
"His magic power is exhausted!"
Upon seeing this, Kunhu immediately guessed the situation of Jia Yi.
Although he didn't know that Jia Yi was a puppet, he was very clear that even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't unleash such a terrifying attack repeatedly in a short period of time.
"Take advantage of his weakened mana and kill that Foundation Establishment stage brat first!" Kun Hu made up his mind immediately after thinking it over.
He had already noticed that not far from Li Ping and Jia Yi, another figure dressed in black armor was sitting cross-legged, doing something there, which gave him a vague sense of unease.
Confirming that Jia Yi could no longer fire an arrow, Kun Hu immediately pointed, and hundreds of small rulers began to buzz, then hurled at Li Ping at an even faster speed, attempting to kill him outright.
To Kunhu's surprise, Li Ping not only remained calm in the face of his full-force attack, but also smiled.
Why isn't he panicking?
What exactly did I overlook?
Kunhu couldn't help but show a grim expression, but he didn't have time to think any further.
From the figure sitting cross-legged, a blood-red sword shadow several meters long suddenly flew up, and an astonishing bloody aura instantly filled the void for thousands of meters.
"That is..." Kunhu had a vague sense of familiarity with the blood sword.
Before he could even remember where he had seen the blood sword, a flash of blood appeared before him.
next moment--
His vision suddenly shifted, and he plummeted from the sky. He saw a headless corpse also falling from the sky, and the corpse's attire looked very familiar.
"That looks like me, where's my head... my head..."
Kunhu was filled with doubt and fear, and soon he lost all consciousness.
On the other side, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with the triangular face, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Xiao Yunzhi, also only felt a flash of blood in front of him.
He was then vertically cut in half from head to toe.
After killing two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in succession, Li Ping smiled.
With a slight wave of his hand, the blood sword immediately turned around and shot back, returning to its talisman form and falling down, where it was caught in Li Ping's palm.
The power of this crimson sword was even greater than Li Ping had anticipated.
The fact that it so easily beheaded two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators shows that it truly deserves to be a talisman crafted by a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice at his own caution.
If he had hesitated even slightly during his battle with Hua Hong, allowing the opponent to activate the Blood Sword Talisman, he might have been in real danger.
After all, no matter how powerful the health preservation technique is, if it is directly split in two, there is no way to save it.
"Never think about holding back your trump cards when facing an enemy. Even when facing a low-level cultivator, you cannot be careless. Even a lion uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit."
"Even low-level cultivators can pose a threat to high-level cultivators if they possess rare treasures."
"Only a dead enemy is a good enemy!"
……
Many thoughts flashed through Li Ping's mind as he looked at the Flaming Divine Bird in the distance.
It's hard to come up with a good author name. "Immortality Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation" awaits you on Cola Novels.
