CHAPTER 334: Strategic Proposals
Yan Kai and the others took out medium-grade spiritual stones to replenish their consumed magical power while quietly standing in place, watching Liu Yu and waiting for the next command.
The talisman treasure retained one to three percent of the power of a magical artifact, which could certainly crush ordinary foundation establishment cultivators.
However, for late stage foundation establishment cultivators, as well as elites in the mid foundation establishment stage, it may not have a decisive effect.
After all, a talisman treasure is a product that lies between a talisman and a magical artifact. It is a consumable, and the power it can conserve is extremely limited compared to a magical artifact. Foundation establishment cultivators might also be able to withstand it.
Top and elite foundation establishment cultivators can unleash their full strength in an instant, employing various methods to deplete the talisman treasure's power, rendering it ineffective.
For example, Bai Lianhua could counter Liu Yu if he used the Vajra Halberd Talisman Treasure immediately. She could utilize numerous second-rank talismans to consume and diminish the talisman treasure's power.
In that case, it would not achieve the desired effect.
Moreover, since talisman treasures cost tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and few golden core cultivators are willing to expend the resources to create magical artifacts, very few exist in circulation. Therefore, it cannot be used as a conventional means and can only serve as a "trump card" for a crucial strike.
Liu Yu considered that Bai Lianhua, being a talisman artisan, could instantly use many talismans to offset the talisman treasure's power, which is why he chose not to use it immediately.
Instead, he waited until her talismans were nearly exhausted, deploying the talisman treasure at the last critical moment to achieve a decisive effect.
If the Vajra Halberd Talisman Treasure could not achieve success, and with Yan Kai and the others present, he did not want to reveal too many of his trump cards, leaving him with no good options against this woman.
Casually attaching Bai Lianhua's storage bag to his waist after consuming a talisman treasure, Liu Yu had no intention of sharing the spoils.
Yan Kai and the others tacitly did not mention it.
After all, from their perspective, as the team leader, Liu Yu was entitled to the lion's share and had expended a precious talisman treasure. It was only natural for him to reclaim resources to recover his losses.
They would enjoy the war dividends later.
Taking out a Premium Snowflake Brew, he took a small sip, and the magical power consumed in his dantian quickly recovered.
The duel of magic was brief, so the magical power consumption was not much. Thus, the safety of a single sip of Premium Snowflake Brew was enough to restore him to ninety percent, sufficient to support the upcoming actions.
"Bai Lianhua is dead, and the resistance from the Bai Family has diminished significantly. Next, we move directly to Phoenix Mountain."
"We can't give the other side too much reaction time. The action starts with the ambush; we must not stop regardless of success or failure."
"However, we can look for some 'vanguards' beforehand."
Quietly gazing at the two escape lights flying towards them from the horizon, Liu Yu flashed through many thoughts and said lightly, "Leave these two."
These two came to support the Bai Family, and it was clear they had a close relationship, so they could not be easily overlooked.
"Understood!"
Yan Kai and the others immediately clasped their hands in agreement, then stepped onto their magical artifact to steer towards the escape lights approaching from the horizon. Their actions were very proactive.
Clearly, the slaying of Lianhua gave them ample confidence.
After all, these were not insignificant characters like the Daoist of Many Eyes, but the Bai Family’s patriarch, a cultivator well-known near the Golden Rampart Market, a true local power.
