Chapter 44 Silver Spear and Talisman
Song Yang subconsciously moved a few steps to the left, only to find that the Nether Water Toad seemed to be able to see through his position and was staring intently at him!
How is that possible?!
After several attempts, Songyang's face grew paler and paler, and he became visibly panicked.
That beast could actually see his tracks! The Concealment Pearl is a top-quality magical artifact!
Before Songyang could come up with a solution, a muffled sound came from behind, and another Netherwater Toad had already chased after him.
Two water toads, one in front and one behind, sandwiched him between them.
Although the Netherworld Toad couldn't see Song Yang's figure, the familiar scent of Yin Sha Zhi was unmistakable.
The two water toads simultaneously let out a low roar and pounced towards Songyang's location.
"Damn it!"
Even a level-two peak Netherwater Toad requires full force to deal with, let alone a level-three one. Song Yang quickly dodged to the side.
But as soon as he used his spiritual power, the figure hidden under the Concealment Bead was immediately exposed.
"It's him!!!"
In the distance, Zhang Tie, who was cautiously approaching, also saw the figure of Song Yang that had appeared, and his eyes immediately turned cold!
At this moment, Songyang secretly groaned inwardly. He dodged a sneak attack from a long tongue, but failed to avoid another one, which struck him directly in the chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhang Tie, I know you're here! Why aren't you coming out to help me? If I die here, you won't get away with it either!!!"
Under the combined attack of the two demonic beasts, Song Yang was quickly overwhelmed, and his voice trembled slightly.
Hearing Songyang's shouts from the shadows, Zhang Tie sneered inwardly.
Are you trying to trick him into making a move?
Zhang Tie would only save him if he were out of his mind. Song Yang died at the hands of a demon beast, what does that have to do with him!
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Song Yang knew that Zhang Tie was preparing to watch him be devoured by the monster. He cursed inwardly, realizing that his plan to divert trouble to the east was not going to work!
Two Nether Water Toads attacked again. Song Yang gritted his teeth and took out a silver-white talisman from his storage bag.
He spat a mouthful of blood onto the talisman, which immediately manifested a silver spear. The silver spear transformed into a stream of light and pierced towards the level three Netherwater Toad!
"It's a talisman!!!" Zhang Tie's pupils contracted slightly as he secretly observed.
I didn't expect Songyang to have such a trump card. Well, that makes sense. He's a direct disciple of the Core Formation stage, so it's not surprising that he has a talisman treasure!
However, Zhang Tie's eyes were even colder. He first secretly followed him and stole the Yin Sha Zhi, and then tried to trick him into going out to draw fire!
I'm afraid that once he goes out, this guy will use the talisman to create an opening and escape directly, and I'll just be the cannon fodder!
"boom!"
The silver spear struck the level-three Netherwater Toad directly, sending it flying backward with a deep wound on its back from which black blood flowed. But instead of falling, it became even more ferocious!
Another toad seized the opportunity to attack Songyang, its tongue thrusting out like a spear.
Song Yang had no choice but to turn around and block, summoning a thick shield made of mid-grade magic weapon, which was directly shattered by the tongue of the Netherwater Toad.
The tongue, undiminished in its power, grazed Songyang's right shoulder, tearing a gash in his robe and scraping off a large chunk of flesh, leaving him covered in blood.
"Ah—" Songyang let out a scream and staggered backward.
The two Netherwater Toads approached again, and Song Yang dared not hold back any longer. He used his silver spear and talisman again, targeting the level-three Netherwater Toad once more.
Song Yang understood that this level-three demonic beast posed the greatest threat to him, and if he didn't deal with it, he might really die here today.
As it turned out, Songyang's deduction was correct. The level-three demon beast, which had been hit by two talisman treasures, had its body pierced through and its aura immediately weakened. It soon fell silent and could no longer pose a threat to him.
However, the light on the silver spear talisman had become extremely dim, leaving only one last chance to use it!
Song Yang seized the opportunity, did not linger in the fight, and used the Swiftness Talisman to retreat rapidly.
Without the threat of that level-three demonic beast, Song Yang instantly fled a hundred feet away, and the exit was right in front of him!
The other toad also realized that the guy who stole its treasure wanted to run away, and chased after him relentlessly, but its speed was far inferior to that of Songyang, who had used the flying talisman.
Just as Songyang was about to escape, a golden halo flew out from above and struck the fleeing figure.
"Zhang Tie, how dare you do this—"
Sensing the whooshing sound coming from above, Song Yang's eyes widened in shock and anger, and his fleeing figure came to an abrupt halt.
He wanted to curse again, but the Dark Water Toad behind him had already caught up, so he had to block it.
At this moment, Song Yang was both shocked and angry. He thought that he could retreat safely after using his trump card to deal with a level three demon beast, but he did not expect that Zhang Tie would dare to attack him!
He is a disciple of a Core Formation cultivator, while Zhang Tie is just a rogue cultivator. How dare he!
But Songyang also saw the situation clearly: if Zhang Tie was determined to stop him, he wouldn't be able to leave at all!
"Junior Brother Zhang, listen to me... I was wrong about this, I will return the Yin Sha Zhi to you!!!" Song Yang's voice trembled slightly.
Zhang Tie smirked coldly: "Senior Brother Song, even if you die, the Yin Sha Zhi will still be mine!"
Songyang was speechless for a moment, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"That damn guy..."
"Zhang Tie, don't go too far! My master is a Core Formation cultivator. If you dare touch me, my master will not let you get away with it!"
Zhang Tie didn't speak, but quietly watched Song Yang's performance from the shadows.
This guy wasn't as pathetic as he seemed on the surface. Zhang Tie didn't dare to underestimate him at all. After all, he was a Core Formation disciple who could produce a silver spear and talisman. Besides that talisman, he might have other trump cards up his sleeve. He decided to let the Netherwater Toad test the waters first.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Song Yang's breathing grew heavier and heavier. The previous battle with the level-three Nether Water Toad had already depleted most of his spiritual energy, and now he was entangled in a fierce fight, while Zhang Tie remained a threat in the shadows, refusing to show himself.
If this continues, my spiritual energy will be depleted, and I'll be nothing more than fish on a chopping board.
After thinking it through, Songyang gritted his teeth, took out the silver spear talisman, and felt a pang of heartache.
This talisman is his strongest trump card. He has already used it twice. If he uses it again, its power will be completely exhausted!
A single Yin Sha Zhi mushroom costs only 500 spirit stones, while his talisman is worth four or five times that amount. He's really losing out big time.
It's all Zhang Tie's fault! If he hadn't come to this godforsaken place, would he have followed me here?
Songyang had already thought of a hundred ways to deal with Zhang Tie after he got out, determined to make him pay double the price.
Seeing that Songyang had taken out another talisman, the Netherwater Toad's blood-red eyes flickered slightly, and it retreated somewhat uneasily. But Songyang was in a hurry to deal with this guy, so how could he give him a chance to escape!
Today, everyone in this deep ravine except him must die!
Runes flowed across the silver spear talisman, eventually bursting into flames. At the same time, a spear shadow appeared, locking onto the Netherwater Toad before stabbing down fiercely!
The silver spear pierced through the body of the Netherwater Toad from top to bottom, causing it to let out a shrill scream!
However, the silver spear runes seemed to have been over-consumed, and the final strike was not as powerful as the previous two. The Netherwater Toad was not killed outright; with its heavily wounded body, it disappeared into the thick fog of the deep ravine after a few leaps.
Songyang didn't go after them, and Zhang Tie naturally couldn't either, since the Yin Sha Zhi was on Songyang's person.
However, this guy is indeed worthy of being a Core Formation disciple. He managed to take care of both Nether Water Toads by himself, killing one and seriously injuring the other. The one that died was a level three demon beast comparable to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
