As soon as the azure light shifted, Lin Xiuyuan's heart sank to the bottom.
Late stage of Foundation Establishment!
As this aura locked onto me, an instant chill ran through me, spreading from the depths of my heart to my entire body, causing me to tremble as if enveloped by a great terror.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled wryly, fearing that he might have actually run into the other party's master.
Without a second thought, he frantically activated his escape light, turned tail and ran, swallowing several Spirit Gathering Pills while holding a mid-grade spirit stone to restore his mana.
In an instant, he activated his escape light with all his might, moving at an extremely fast speed, like a blue meteor streaking across the earth.
"How dare they! In the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom, someone within the Foundation Establishment stage actually dares to offend me?! That was my disciple whom I had just painstakingly nurtured, who had only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and he was killed just like that?! Ahhh..."
Within the azure light was a tall, thin old man with a long face and withered skin covered in black spots. Under the illumination of the spiritual light, he appeared bluish like a fierce ghost. At this moment, he roared in a low voice, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying!
At this moment, the green-faced Taoist was furious, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. A strong anger spread from the bottom of his heart, and he no longer cared about chasing the Blood Hand Illusion Demon.
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan fleeing at top speed, he immediately made a hand seal, and the speed of his cyan escape light increased several notches, giving chase.
The speed is constantly decreasing!
After all, there was a difference in their cultivation levels, and their escape speeds were not even in the same league. Now, the green-faced old man was filled with killing intent and disregarded the cost, directly using a secret technique to enhance his escape speed.
It seems that it won't take more than a quarter of an hour to cross these twenty or thirty miles and catch up with Lin Xiuyuan.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan's heart sank deeper and deeper, as a strong sense of crisis enveloped him at this moment.
However, looking at the desolate mountain range not far ahead, Lin Xiuyuan still had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
He hurriedly took out several talismans, activated them continuously, and threw them backward.
Two wooden talismans, one on the left and one on the right, unleashed a torrent of vines and branches that coiled around the azure light.
Two more fire dragon talismans followed closely behind, spewing out bursts of flames as they moved away. However, they did not immediately sweep towards the azure escape light, but instead controlled their power and sprayed it onto the vines and branches.
The power was controlled exquisitely, just enough to ignite, but not enough to disrupt the distribution of spiritual energy and cause the vines and branches to collapse.
In an instant, flames swirled around the vines and branches, making them look like fiery snakes attacking, commanded by a fire dragon to kill the enemy.
Thus, in an instant, a sea of fire formed and spread out, attempting to engulf the azure escape light.
However, the difference in their cultivation levels was undeniable. With a casual wave of his hand, the green-faced Taoist sent out beams of spiritual light. Without needing to release them, his profound magical power alone was as formidable as a spell or as sharp as a magic sword.
Instantly, the flying vines and branches were chopped to pieces.
However, as the vines and branches broke apart and dissipated into wood elemental energy, the flames clinging to them suddenly flared up, fueled by the wood elemental energy, making the fire even more raging.
The five elements interact in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint; wood generates fire!
Although it only helped to extinguish the fire and could not make its power reach the level of one plus one, it still increased its power by one or two percent.
"It really works... No wonder the power of spells is so different when you reach the Foundation Establishment stage. It is certainly because the five elements are the root of heaven and earth, and the surging magic power can bring out more power. But more importantly, it is because the cultivator's divine sense is stronger and he understands the mysteries of spiritual energy, and he can manipulate magic power to generate more profound changes!"
Lin Xiuyuan, who was frantically fleeing, noticed this scene and seemed to have grasped something. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"The power of talismans cannot compare to that of spells and magical artifacts, presumably because they lack the mystical variations. Only secret talismans, based on the five elements, have other mysterious derivatives, thus their power can rival that of ordinary spells and magical artifacts!"
"In this light, whether one is cultivating foundation-building techniques or practicing spells in the future, as long as this point is deeply understood, it will save a lot of effort. The same principle applies to the use of talismans; now, the simple complementary forces can increase their power by one or two tenths..."
"Perhaps some predecessors of talisman masters have already discovered this point, otherwise the secret talisman would not have appeared in the world. It is still lacking the true method of inheritance. Otherwise, I could have discovered this point earlier and used it when I was in the Qi Refining stage! After all, I possess the wonders of the purple talisman. It has been a delay that I have only just figured out a little bit of it on my own."
"In this way, once the purple light of the talismans I create in the future is fully overflowing, and I am able to comprehend the essence and mysteries of talismans, the power of those talismans will likely increase exponentially. I will be able to recreate the combat power I had during the Qi Refining stage, using the power of the talismans to overwhelm those of the same realm, and even fight against those of different realms!!"
Lin Xiuyuan, having reached this thought, did not dwell on it any longer; escaping was the most important thing right now.
After the fire was amplified by the wooden talisman, what was originally just a small patch of fire had now spread into a vast, sky-covering expanse, surging towards and engulfing the azure escape light.
At first glance, it looks like two fire dragons driving an endless sea of fire, a terrifying sight.
As its power increased further, the streams of spiritual energy that flew into it only managed to contain the spread of the fire before being swallowed up.
The green-faced Taoist had not expected that the power would increase further. His expression turned slightly cold, and he had no choice but to gather his magic power again, unleash an attack to extinguish the sea of fire and kill the fire dragon.
This bought Lin Xiuyuan a little more time, giving him a better chance of escaping.
At this moment, Ma He was overjoyed and immediately fled frantically. He thought he would be chased to death by the Green-Faced Taoist, but unexpectedly, he escaped from a desperate situation. At the critical moment, someone attracted the hatred, which made him burst into laughter.
