The head rolled off, and blood gushed out like a torrent.
Two more comrades have fallen!
This scene completely shattered the cultivators' defenses, and fear uncontrollably appeared on their faces.
Xu Dong, standing in the crowd, was already filled with disbelief. A talisman master was indeed strong, but he was just a talisman master!
He didn't seem like one of those highly skilled talisman masters who could effortlessly craft high-level talismans. After all, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and mastering a few common high-level talismans was already an overestimation, wasn't it?
How could it be so powerful?
Even the cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining showed some apprehension and fear, and couldn't help but whisper:
"Let's go... or... focus all our efforts on cutting down these vines and thorns, breaking the wooden magic talisman, and then we can discuss this further!"
Immediately, everyone worked together to try to break through the encirclement.
But Lin Xiuyuan sneered, how could he let them break through and leave?
They threw out several more thorn talismans, completely trapping the cultivators.
Amidst the dazzling flames, ice arrows darted through the air, and the spirit sword seized every opportunity to deliver a fatal blow carrying the power of the seventh level of Qi Refining!
The battle has reached this point, and the outcome is self-evident!
In less than a quarter of an hour, corpses were scattered on the slightly charred ground.
The spirit sword hovered above Xu Dong's head.
Xu Dong was filled with fear, so frightened that he wet himself, and a pale yellow liquid flowed from his crotch, emitting a pungent stench.
"Let me go...let me go, how can you be so strong..."
Xu Dong pleaded for mercy, his face filled with fear and his voice trembling.
At this moment, Old Xu also struggled to get up and bowed to Lin Xiuyuan, saying, "Little Lin... I, I, Senior Lin, he was wrong to do this, but after all, he is my son, the last heir of the Xu family. Could, could you spare his life?"
Lin Xiuyuan remained silent for a moment, his face showing hesitation, but in the end, a fierce look flashed across his face.
The spirit sword suddenly slashed down, but instead of taking his life, it pierced his abdomen, and blood gushed out instantly.
"ah……"
Xu Dong screamed and howled in agony, clutching his abdomen, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing out, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
Lin Xiuyuan slowly sheathed his spirit sword, turned and left. His voice slowly reached Old Xu's ears, saying, "For your sake, I'll leave an heir for your Xu family. It's fortunate that we met. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I hope we can walk the path to immortality together. Farewell!"
Although this sword strike did not take Xu Dong's life, it severed his meridians. Although his cultivation level remained, he was no longer on the path to the higher realms!
The Great Dao is ruthless; the world of cultivation is full of deceit and treachery, and there is no room for mercy!
It's not that Lin Xiuyuan is heartless; wiping out his entire family for this matter wouldn't be an exaggeration! Sparing his life out of respect for Old Xu is already magnanimous. But leaving him with future troubles is unacceptable. Who knows if this ungrateful wretch will encounter an opportunity in the future and, by chance, remember this day's grudge when he reaches the pinnacle of success?
Old Xu's face was filled with sorrow as he watched Lin Xiu's departing figure, then glanced at Xu Dong, who was rolling on the ground and still groaning in pain. He gave a bitter smile and murmured, "It's all for the best, it's all for the best. As long as he's alive..."
"Dong'er, I've arranged a benefactor for you, how could you be so short-sighted and heartless? You're such a rebellious son! Cutting off your path of cultivation is a way of saving your life..."
...
…………
Half a month later.
Lin Xiuyuan put down his talisman brush with a tired expression, put away the finished earth magic talisman, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, threw a low-grade spirit gathering pill into his mouth, and then sat down in a chair to rest, slowly recovering his tired body and mind and magic power.
"Finally finished refining them. These talismans should be enough!"
For the past two weeks, Lin Xiuyuan has done nothing but focus on making talismans, working tirelessly day and night.
We finally managed to use up all the materials at the last minute!
He possesses nearly a hundred high-level talismans and hundreds of mid- and low-level talismans!
This gave Lin Xiuyuan a greater sense of security about the trip.
A moment later.
Liao Cai'er came out of the house and said, "Alright, I'm all packed and ready to leave at any time!"
"Okay, let's go then!"
After Lin Xiuyuan put all the talisman brushes and talismans on the desk into his Qiankun bag, he and Liao Cai'er walked towards the door.
As they were closing the door, the two paused, turned around, and looked at the room for a moment. As if they were of one mind, they looked at each other and smiled before closing the door completely.
Outside the door stood three people who seemed to have been waiting for a long time: Elder Qin, Qin Suwan, and the Fire Talisman Master!
Since there were still spots available, and out of a desire to repay the kindness he had shown, Lin Xiuyuan informed Elder Qin about the matter.
The two of them sold everything they owned to barely scrape together 40,000 spirit stones, even contributing Elder Qin's high-quality talisman brush...
"Master Lin!"
"Master Lin, shall we set off now?"
The Fire Talisman Master and Elder Qin greeted each other.
Although Qin Suwan didn't have a good impression of Lin Xiuyuan, she was entirely thanks to him for her escape this time, so she stepped forward and bowed respectfully with great poise.
"Okay, let's go."
Lin Xiuyuan cupped his hands to the first two, but ignored the latter, and directly led Liao Cai'er forward.
Qin Suwan was slightly taken aback, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face, but she didn't say anything, simply following behind in silence.
Upon seeing this, Elder Qin frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
This time, we gathered at the residence of that Foundation Establishment senior, and then it seemed we were heading to the outer city area to wait for the formation to open.
Before long, the group of five arrived at a small courtyard near the city lord's mansion.
There were already quite a few people waiting in front of the door, young and old. After looking around for a while, Lin Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks when he saw the face of one of them, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
"Li Yongyuan? Is he coming too...?"
