Chapter 330: Difficult Decision
After all, Wu Fang and his companion had mediocre cultivation levels and only possessed ordinary supreme magical artifacts, making their strength quite limited.
If they forcibly tried to break through the blockade of the second-tier high-quality spiritual talismans, they could very likely suffer injuries, and it wasn't impossible for them to fall due to the slightest carelessness.
It was important to note that their opponent was the renowned "lotus flower fairy," a well-known second-tier high-quality talisman artisan.
Although Liu Yu currently had significant authority and could command the two to act, he couldn't directly order them to do something that would harm themselves.
If he were to give such an order, even if the two didn't comply, it would be understandable, and the sect wouldn't pursue the matter on the surface.
After all, sending cultivators from subordinate forces to their deaths was quite unreasonable.
"Even a second-tier talisman artisan can't have too many second-tier talismans on hand," Liu Yu thought, his eyes icy. After sending out the sound transmission talisman, he commanded the Li Xuan Sword and the Soul-Reaping Spike to attack without pause, not giving the opponent a moment to breathe.
Like elixirs, the refinement of second-tier talismans was even more challenging.
Due to the power of second-tier spells, better quality talisman paper was required to bear them, as well as higher quality rune ink for drawing, and cultivators needed to be proficient in the corresponding spells, or a cultivator had to cast spells during the crafting process.
Moreover, greater power would certainly lead to greater instability, making it much more difficult to successfully create a seal.
Considering all these limiting factors, even a second-tier high-quality talisman artisan couldn't possess too many second-tier talismans.
Thus, Bai Lianhua's method of engaging in a duel of magic was destined to not last long; there would inevitably come a time when she ran out of resources.
However, they were only a little over ten miles away from Red Maple Mountain, and having already sent the sound transmission talisman, even when factoring in the time for it to reach its destination and for the cultivators to react and rush over, they wouldn't have too much time left.
The Bai Family was the local authority, and given Liu Yu's cautious and decisive nature, he certainly wouldn't choose a time-consuming method.
After two rounds of offense, sensing that continuing in this manner might lead to an undesirable outcome, he felt a shift in his heart and immediately decided to employ a new tactic to break the deadlock.
He reached out and gently brushed his hand over his storage bag, instantly producing a uniquely shaped black sword blade along with two talismans inscribed with golden breezes.
It was indeed the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade and the Golden Wind Dispersion Talisman!
Liu Yu's magical power, far purer than that of ordinary cultivators, circulated rapidly, and in an instant, he activated the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade, transforming it into a black light that shot towards Bai Lianhua.
He aimed to bypass the obstruction of the white lotus platform and directly target her life!
At the same time, he tossed the two talismans, which ignited spontaneously without wind, transforming into a bone-eroding golden wind, exuding a chilling sharpness as it swept towards her.
With his powerful spiritual consciousness, even while controlling two superior spiritual artifacts and one supreme magical artifact simultaneously, and activating two Golden Wind Dispersion Talismans to attack, he still managed it with ease, feeling no significant burden.
The benefits of having such powerful spiritual consciousness were evident at that moment.
This series of attacks, intertwined without leaving a trace of leeway, changed Bai Lianhua's expression, causing her to lose the calm composure she had before!
Bai Lianhua's delicate jade-like face finally changed color as she sensed an unprecedented crisis.
