Chapter 328: A Ruthless Hand to Crush Flowers (Part 2)
"Mysterious Bird's Fiery Technique," "Unmelting Ice Needle Technique," "Ten Thousand Fathoms of Golden Light Technique"—a swirling mass of blazing flames, a red Firebird the size of a meter, hundreds of tiny black ice needles like cow's hair, and a glaring beam of sharp golden light.
Each second-rank spell generated considerable momentum, causing a wave of fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Alongside these, three supreme magical artifacts—the Crimson Arrow, a small axe, and a black mallet—were all fully unleashed by Yan Kai and the others, targeting the pale yellow escape light, determined to strike it down in one blow.
Given the threat to their own safety and Liu Yu's orders, they showed no signs of mercy.
The might of the second-rank spells and supreme magical artifacts surged, locking onto a section of the sky, each attack following the last in a furious storm.
Under such an onslaught, the escape light created by the Pale Yellow Jade Flute seemed like a tiny boat in a vast ocean, poised to capsize at any moment.
"This is bad!"
Bai Lianhua and Bai Caihuang's expressions changed.
The powerful spiritual perception of foundation establishment cultivators enabled the two women to sense the moment the attacks launched, and with a sweep of their spiritual consciousness, they grasped the situation.
Instinctively, Bai Lianhua wanted to adjust the magical artifact to evade these attacks.
However, due to the Pale Yellow Jade Flute's incredibly fast escape speed and immense inertia, changing direction would take at least two breaths of time, leaving them with no chance to react.
The escape light continued along its original trajectory, headed straight for the barrage of second-rank spells and supreme magical artifacts!
If this continued, they would face destruction!
"No!"
The thought process of foundation establishment cultivators was extremely quick, far surpassing that of ordinary mortals. In the blink of an eye, Bai Lianhua anticipated what would happen next.
As expected of a clan leader and a well-known cultivator, she made a rational choice swiftly.
She took out a magical artifact resembling a white lotus platform, infused it with magical power, and quickly stepped onto it. With one hand, she pulled up Bai Caihuang, who was still trying to resist the attacks, and steered the white lotus platform away from the original escape light.
As for the seven or eight qi refinement stage disciples, they remained on the Pale Yellow Jade Flute, becoming the abandoned ones.
"Bang! Bang!"
A series of continuous loud crashes resounded as the Pale Yellow Jade Flute collided with three second-rank spells and three supreme magical artifacts. Under the overwhelming might of the spells and artifacts, it shattered into pieces, falling from the sky like scrap metal.
The qi refinement stage cultivators aboard were burned by flames, pierced by ice crystals, sliced by golden light, and ultimately struck down by the supreme magical artifacts.
Their fragile bodies vanished, reduced to various remnants drifting down from the sky.
"Those who come are not friendly!"
Bai Lianhua had an inkling about the attackers' identity.
In times of crisis, true wisdom is revealed. Instead of lamenting the deaths of her clansmen, she maneuvered the white lotus platform to turn back toward Red Maple Mountain.
The attackers had clearly prepared beforehand. Engaging here was disadvantageous, so Bai Lianhua chose not to confront them head-on.
There were still some foundation establishment cultivators on Red Maple Mountain, a few of whom had good relations with the Bai Family—uniting against the enemy would be a wise move.
"Bang!"
Bai Lianhua, composed, took out two second-rank talismans and activated them to counter the fierce assault of the enemy's magical artifacts while urging the lotus platform to flee at full speed.
As a second-tier high-quality talisman artisan, she could create various second-tier high-quality and even supreme spells as talismans with a high success rate, having stocked up on many.
