"You're laughing too soon!" Zhang Guodong coldly retorted. With a loud "Boom!", the large yellow axe couldn't withstand the attack of a hundred blades; its defense reached its limit, and it shattered! Countless fragments scattered in all directions. This was now an indiscriminate attack.
Even Zhang Guodong and the bald man were no exception. It was so high. There was simply no way to dodge it.
The bald man's expression changed drastically, but he roared, and a green vest appeared on his body, into which vigorous life force was injected, greatly increasing the range of his defense. He instantly activated his physical defense armor.
Zhang Guodong, however, lacked such a material defense artifact and was quite envious. But at this moment, the best course of action was to slip away, so he entered the Peach Blossom Spring Space without a second thought.
What place could be safer than hiding in a paradise?
The entire process, from entry to exit, takes less than half a second.
Outside, however, the bald man wasn't so lucky. He never dreamed that his prized, top-tier beginner-level material attack magic weapon would be destroyed by a mere mid-level wind blade talisman! This pained him greatly. It was one of his most prized magic weapons.
What on earth is going on? Could that not be a mid-grade talisman paper? Or could it be a high-grade talisman paper? Impossible!
If it's a high-level talisman, it can easily destroy a basic magic weapon, let alone instantly kill itself.
He couldn't dodge it; the tall fragments of the magical artifact were now more like deadly hidden weapons! They struck the bald man with a series of thuds, instantly dissipating most of the defensive power of his protective robe, which had been ripped apart! However, a small portion of the fragments' power still managed to hit him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Like several giant hammers, they struck his chest and abdomen when he was completely defenseless. His body and the demonic vines trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying backward like a powerless kite, a kite with a broken string.
The bald guy was seriously injured!
But that wasn't the most fatal flaw. Due to Zhang Guodong's insufficient strength, the Hundred Blade Seal's power was extremely limited. However, even a seal cast with such power wasn't easily broken. The initial peak-level magic weapon was shattered, negating most of the seal's blades, but a small portion still remained. Almost as soon as the bald man was severely injured and his body was uncontrollably flying backward, the attack struck!
"Ah!" The bald man's body was thrown off balance by the immense force. But his mind didn't go blank. His instinctive assessment of the immense danger told him that if those dozens of wind blades struck him, he'd probably be done for!
In mid-air, the bald man made an extremely unusual move!
He slammed his fist into his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, which he then grabbed and channeled into his robes. Don't be confused, this blood essence was no ordinary blood; once expelled, his cultivation level would drop back below level 30, to around level 29.
The cost is enormous.
This mouthful of essence contained nearly a third of the bald man's life force. Even the demonic vines in his Purple Mansion were severely weakened and withered.
boom!
The remaining power of the Hundred Blades Seal instantly struck the bald man. However, this time, the bald man unleashed an incredibly powerful force, completely negating the attack!
Although the life force and demonic energy consumed were enormous, and his cultivation level dropped below level 30, the bald man's hatred for Zhang Guodong was beyond redemption. But at least he had escaped a fatal crisis.
"Bang! Bang!" The bald man's body slammed into the trees behind him, snapping two branches in mid-air. He landed with a thud, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. The bald man was seriously injured this time.
"Boy, I'm going to kill you!" The bald man immediately rolled over and stood up. He was all bark and no bite, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his face deathly pale.
Zhang Guodong curled his lip and said, "You couldn't kill me just now, so you're even less likely to do so now! Now the tables have turned, and your life is in my hands!"
As he spoke, Zhang Guodong patted his storage bag and pulled out a handful of talismans. Inside was indeed a blue, intermediate-grade talisman called the Wind Blade Talisman.
This is a blatant threat!
But the bald man felt a surge of fear upon seeing the intermediate-level wind blade talisman! If another one came along, he would...
"So, throw your storage bag over here, slowly. Otherwise, I don't mind throwing all these talismans at you! Don't even think about stalling for time."
"You!" The bald man roared in fury. But his body was severely injured. Even the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain. He needed to find a place to treat his injuries immediately, otherwise, if left untreated, not only would his cultivation level drop drastically, but his life would also be in danger.
Basic and intermediate-level pills have no life-saving effects. If it's just a serious injury, that's one thing, but if it's truly a case of the soul dissipating and life force extinguished, even a high-level pill can't bring them back! He wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin; before he even uttered the word "three," his hand, clutching dozens of talismans, had already risen.
"Alright, I'll hand it over!" the bald man shouted hastily. Even though the rage in his eyes could scorch the earth, he had no doubt about Zhang Guodong's determination to kill him. A handful of talismans were thrown at him. Even at his peak, he would have had to dodge them, otherwise he would be severely injured, if not killed.
He cursed inwardly, wondering which bastard's disciple had given him so many magical artifacts and talismans at only level 18!
The bald man reluctantly untied the purple storage bag and tossed it at Zhang Guodong.
This bald guy is quite the stoic; he's a rather remarkable character!
"Now!" The bald man pounded his chest, and another mouthful of blood essence containing a third of his life force was grasped in his hand. "Wind Travel Talisman!"
That essence blood, when used to activate a basic Windwalking Talisman, can make its effect comparable to an intermediate-level Wind and Cloud Talisman! This is used for escape in extreme life-threatening situations. It's also known as Blood Escape!
This also foreshadows a further drop in cultivation level!
This bald guy is quite the bachelor and very rational character. He actually did it without hesitation!
Of course, that's not wrong. As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." That's the strategy for baldness.
Zhang Guodong needed to retrieve the storage bag, which gave him the time to escape. Just a few seconds was all it took for him to get away. In this deep mountain forest, a few seconds could cover several kilometers!
But Zhang Guodong is no ordinary cultivator; he possesses a Peach Blossom Spring space. The bald man may have sensed some of his secrets, and Zhang Guodong won't let him go.
These secrets must not be revealed.
Furthermore, the bald man's calculations were flawed. Zhang Guodong didn't need to bend down to pick up any storage bag at all. In the blink of an eye, the storage bag was collected. That was precisely when the bald man was preparing to escape.
"Trying to leave? Not so easy! I didn't believe you only had one storage bag on you; now it seems I was right. You actually had a Wind Travel Talisman hidden on you too." Zhang Guodong's voice was like a death knell, and the bald man was immediately startled.
"I gave you the storage bag, you promised to let me go, how could you break your promise?" the bald man exclaimed in shock and anger. This was just a ruse; he was buying himself a moment. When had Zhang Guodong ever promised to let him go?
Without the slightest hesitation, he crushed the Wind Talisman in his hand!
"Even if you're a good kid now, next time I see you, I'll take it all back with interest!"
The bald man rushed out.
With the blessing of the Wind Travel Talisman, that speed actually surpassed Zhang Guodong's speed at full speed, by at least one level!
Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared into the dense forest.
Zhang Guodong's face was very unpleasant. Letting you escape like this? The grudge from earlier is being wiped out too easily!
"Cultivation and Contemplation".
Zhang Guodong pushed off with his feet and dashed off in one direction with lightning speed. "Hmph, with your mental power covering a two-thousand-meter radius, even if you escape first, you won't get very far in this short time. Besides, you're seriously injured and won't last long. Baldy, you're dead!"
