CHAPTER 24: Cold-Blooded Pursuit of Life (2) (Major Repair)
"Boom! Boom!!!"
Another series of loud explosions erupted as the golden light shield shattered and disappeared, leaving only four or five fireballs remaining.
With their residual power, the fireballs bombarded the red satin in quick succession.
However, the power of a low-grade first-level spell was ultimately insufficient to shake a medium-grade defensive magical artifact, which countered the attack.
Only a few charred marks were left behind, along with several clusters of flames that scorched the surface of the satin.
As the red satin flickered with a red glow, the clusters of flames transformed into wisps of black smoke and were extinguished.
Three Flame Long Serpents followed closely behind, each equivalent to a late-stage qi refinement cultivator, unleashing their full power with the fire serpent technique.
The fire serpents charged straight towards the red satin along the trajectory of the fireballs.
“Zizz!”
In the instant of their collision, the red satin was pushed back a distance.
Its surface flickered with red brilliance, then completely vanished, and the substance itself began to burn.
Seeing that this defensive artifact was about to be overwhelmed and destroyed by the flames of the long serpents, the scholar-robed cultivator finally lost his composure and stopped channeling magical power into the oval mirror.
Perhaps having exhausted all his options, he had no other magical artifacts at hand.
This person could only move both hands and release two small-scale "cloud and rain techniques" towards the ignited red satin, hoping to alleviate the crisis of this defensive artifact.
"This is forcing my hand!"
Then, a vicious look flashed across the scholar-robed cultivator's face as he swept his hands across his storage bag, quickly pulling out several spiritual talismans and activating them.
They transformed into a bolt of blue lightning and several ice spikes, hurtling towards Liu Yu.
Among them was a seemingly inconspicuous round bead—the Fire Thunder Pearl.
The Fire Thunder Pearl, a one-time-use magical artifact of immense power, was a trump card that the scholar-robed cultivator had painstakingly acquired at great cost.
Even a late-stage qi refinement cultivator could perish if they were careless!
The scholar-robed cultivator understood that the critical moment had arrived.
With a steely resolve, he summoned the powerful "Thunderstrike Talisman" along with the "Fire Thunder Pearl," hoping to annihilate the formidable, tiger-hiding cultivator before him in one fell swoop.
From hiding his true strength to proving formidable, he could no longer underestimate the seemingly ordinary cultivator standing in front of him!
Just as the scholar-robed cultivator interrupted his magical power output, the mirror light on the Golden Dragon Sword vanished simultaneously.
In the next instant, the Golden Dragon Sword shone with great brilliance, its internal spiritual energy resuming its operation, and its power surged accordingly.
“Buzz, buzz!”
Liu Yu keenly sensed the changes in the Golden Dragon Sword, his heart stirred with a rising intent to kill!
The magical power within his dantian and meridians surged, poured into the Golden Dragon Sword without reservation, and his spiritual consciousness controlled the sword with heightened might, unleashing its full attacking potential.
In the night sky, two rays—one gold and one blue—collided rapidly, engaging in over a dozen clashes in a single breath.
The blue light could not withstand the assault, growing dimmer and dimmer, already on the verge of collapse!
Simultaneously, the Giant Wood Sword engaged in battle against two opponents, actively attacking to deny the sword-shaped magical artifact and the small yellow fork any chance of support.
The Thunderstrike Talisman, a pinnacle first-level talisman known for its immense power, boasted spell capabilities that were unrivaled among qi refinement spells.
Liu Yu kept a close watch on the opponent's actions and, seeing the scholar-robed cultivator actually summon the Thunderstrike Talisman, did not dare to take it lightly.
