As Champion Hou bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the talisman, the talisman instantly underwent a miraculous change.

It suddenly rose up, as if it had been given life, and a bright light shone around it, with a powerful force spreading out.

Immediately afterwards, the talisman transformed into a giant sword. This giant sword was imposing, and its blade emitted a sharp, cold light, as if it could cut through everything in the world.

This talisman is the Champion Marquis's means of saving his life, and it is of extraordinary significance.

This talisman was given to him personally by his father, Prince Li Wentian.

Li Wentian was a peak Yuan Dan realm expert. Although the power of the talisman he drew was not as great as his personal presence, the giant sword formed from the talisman was equivalent to the full power of a peak Divine Sense realm expert's attack.

"cut!"

The Marquis of Champions had a solemn expression. He made a hand seal and pointed two fingers at the Nine Nether Ice Lion that was about to pounce on Wu Yi.

The giant sword in the air seemed to receive a command and moved instantly.

It streaked across the sky like lightning, slashing towards the Nine Nether Ice Lion at incredible speed.

The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, leaving only a flash of light streaking through the air.

This strike, carrying unparalleled sharpness and boundless power, slashed directly at the majestic Nine Nether Ice Lion's body.

This Nine Nether Ice Lion was an extremely powerful being in this world, exuding a chilling aura, its fur resembling hard, icy armor.

However, it was unable to avoid this deadly talisman blade.

Although it wasn't cut in half, it still suffered unprecedented damage.

Blood gushed from the enormous wound like a fountain, staining a large area of ​​the ground beneath it. Its body swayed precariously, having lost most of its fighting ability, and its life force flickered like a candle in the wind, clearly indicating that it would not live much longer.

However, this talisman-wielding blade that unleashed a devastating strike did not disappear after being used like ordinary swords.

It remained suspended in mid-air, but its originally dazzling and radiant aura had weakened slightly, and the runes on the blade had dimmed a bit, as if the previous strike had consumed a great deal of energy.

"Slay again!"

Champion Marquis let out another earth-shattering roar. His hand seals changed, and the talisman blade suspended in mid-air suddenly shone brightly, like a star about to explode, carrying endless killing intent as it slashed fiercely at the Nine Nether Ice Lion that had devoured You Sanqian and was now exuding a terrifying aura.

"Woo-hoo!"

The Nine Nether Ice Lion reacted extremely quickly. Its massive body moved like a ghost, and just as the talisman blade was about to strike, it suddenly dodged, thus avoiding the fierce attack.

The talisman blade, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed fiercely at the ground, and with a loud "boom," a deep trench was instantly cleaved open in the earth.

In the ravine, pebbles flew and dust billowed, as if the earth had been slashed open by a knife, leaving a deep wound.

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

Having completed its evolution, the Nine Nether Ice Lion was now even more ferocious. It raised its head and let out a series of deafening roars, the sound like rolling thunder, echoing endlessly between heaven and earth.

However, it did not launch a direct attack on the Champion Marquis. Instead, it circled the Champion Marquis, slowly turning around with a strange and agile gait. Its dark blue eyes were fixed on the talisman blade that was floating in the air. Clearly, it was full of fear of this powerful talisman blade.

However, it seemed to have sensed some limitation of the talisman knife, knowing that it could not be used indefinitely.

So, while circling around the Champion Marquis, it continued to command other demonic beasts to attack the Champion Marquis and Wu Yi from all directions.

Under the command of the Nine Nether Ice Lion, the demonic beasts surged in wave after wave like a tide, instantly surrounding Champion Marquis and Wu Yi.

Soon, Champion Marquis and Wu Yi were once again put on the defensive.

Although none of these demonic beasts individually could match them—whether it was the Thundercloud Leopard's lightning-fast speed, the Tiger-faced Leopard's incredibly sharp claws, or the Iron-armored Water Ape's body as hard as iron—they posed little threat to Champion Marquis and Wu Yi.

However, there were simply too many of them at the moment, densely packed all around, making one feel a chill in their heart.

If Champion Marquis and Wu Yi cannot escape, they will be worn down to death, since their true energy will eventually be depleted.

"cut!"

At this critical moment, the Marquis of Champions shouted again, his hand seals changing rapidly, and the talisman blade shot out like lightning once more.

This slash was incredibly powerful, instantly killing at least seven or eight demonic beasts. Their bodies were shattered by the talisman blade, and blood and internal organs splattered everywhere, creating a gruesome scene.

However, after these few strikes, the power of the talisman blade was noticeably weaker.

Its once brilliant light became even dimmer, and the runes on the blade almost disappeared, as if it might vanish into the world at any moment.

Seeing this, Champion Marquis and Wu Yi quickly seized the opportunity to break through the weak point in the monster encirclement.

Woohoo!

However, the Nine Nether Ice Lion, which had been pacing nearby, seemed to have sensed the intentions of Champion Marquis and Wu Yi. It stopped pacing and let out a deafening roar. Then, its massive body leaped up like a moving mountain and pounced on Champion Marquis once again.

It was incredibly fast, arriving in front of the Champion Marquis in the blink of an eye. Its sharp claws, like blades, viciously clawed at the Champion Marquis's throat.
