"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you alright?" Qin Suwan, her robes fluttering, slowly emerged from the dense forest, her sword pointing upwards with one hand. The spirit sword had already returned, swirling around her and gathering magical power, continuously emitting a terrifying sword light.
After launching her sneak attack, she immediately cast a concerned glance at Lin Xiuyuan. After assessing the situation, her expression relaxed slightly.
"It's alright, Miss Qin, you've arrived just in time. Quickly, join me in surrounding and killing this man. Fellow Daoist Jian, you hold off Ma Kangcheng. Once we've dealt with him, we can stabilize the situation." Lin Xiuyuan's expression brightened upon seeing this.
Thinking Qin Suwan wouldn't arrive so quickly, and feeling somewhat apprehensive, they could only barely manage to deal with Zhang De's attacks. Now that she has joined the battle, it's enough to stabilize the situation.
This expedition included two Qi Refining Perfection experts, one of whom was a disciple of a celestial sect. It was uncertain what kind of situation they would encounter. Being cautious by nature, Lin Xiuyuan, seeing that Qin Suwan had nothing else to do, took her along to provide backup nearby.
Keeping this as a backup plan has proven to be very useful in the end.
Immediately, Lin Xiuyuan stopped hiding, putting the talismans back into his storage bag and taking out another stack. They looked no different from the other talismans, but the spiritual energy they emitted was far stronger…
At this moment, Qin Suwan turned her gaze to Zhang De, a cold killing intent appearing on her beautiful face. She pointed her sword forward, and in an instant, the sword shadow became hazy, emitting bursts of dense blue light as it slashed out with a whooshing sound.
Zhang De's expression darkened slightly as yet another cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining appeared out of nowhere.
Now Ma Kangcheng is injured again, losing an arm, and his strength is greatly reduced... The scales are beginning to regain their balance!
Zhang De's expression was uncertain, but seeing the two men's attack coming and finding it difficult to break free for the time being, a ruthless look appeared in his eyes.
He was, after all, a level higher, possessing the power to decide the fate of the world. With the ancient treasure before him, the benefits were immense.
Having the advantage in terms of skill level, it would be truly unacceptable to give up now.
"I'd like to see if you can turn the world upside down now that you have a pretty girl at the tenth level of Qi Refining."
Zhang De sneered, his handsome face flushed red with bulging veins, and as his hands continued to form hand seals, the aura emanating from his body immediately surged continuously.
Clearly, they were using some kind of secret technique to temporarily enhance their magical power.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"rise."
In an instant, talismans exploded, forming a sky full of whistling golden swords, creating an inexplicably terrifying scene.
Upon closer inspection, one can detect a subtle difference: amidst the dazzling golden light, there is an inexplicable hint of purple.
At this moment, Zhang De used a secret technique, greatly increasing his magical power, which approached the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
With just a casual activation of his spirit sword, he easily neutralized Qin Suwan's attack, even displaying a domineering force.
Just as Zhang De was about to press his advantage, he saw Lin Xiuyuan throw out a stack of talismans, which burst forth with golden light. Nearly ten golden swords whistled through the air, exuding terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations, and came rushing towards him.
"You're courting death! Fine, I'll kill you first."
Zhang De sneered disdainfully, immediately made a sword gesture, unleashing a chilling sword light, and slashed down with a whoosh.
Ordinary cultivators find it difficult to resist the power of talismans. Relying on this method, it is enough to kill cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and even if there are enough of them, it is not uncommon to kill cultivators at the tenth level of Lesser Perfection.
However, once one reaches the Great Perfection realm, their magical power has already shown a slight condensation, almost a qualitative improvement, representing the strongest combat power in the Qi Refining stage, which ordinary high-level talismans cannot contend with.
Not to mention that he had just used a secret technique, which boosted his combat power. Full of confidence, Zhang De urged his spirit sword to strike, intending to crush and sweep Lin Xiuyuan in one fell swoop.
However, a look of astonishment appeared on Zhang De's face in an instant.
The spirit sword met the attack head-on, but in the instant of collision, it realized that things were not so simple.
The spirit sword, which Zhang De was fully controlling, was forced to retreat steadily, and at the moment of impact, it seemed to have been hit hard.
Because he was attacking with all his might, a large amount of divine sense gathered on him. Now, under the constant slashes of the golden swords, it seemed unable to withstand it and dissipated in large quantities, causing Zhang De to suffer a backlash and his face to turn pale in an instant.
"Something's wrong, something's very wrong..."
Zhang De looked astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could the Golden Sword Talisman possess such power? It felt to him as if it originated from the might of a top-tier spiritual artifact.
This was as if he were facing an attack from more than ten top-tier spiritual weapons...
At this moment, Zhang De finally noticed that these golden sword talismans seemed a little different, containing traces of purple.
This is no ordinary golden sword talisman!!
"What's going on? It doesn't look like an ordinary golden sword talisman. Its power is also wrong. Instead, it's a top-tier attack talisman made by those perfected talisman masters, imitating spirit talismans."
Zhang De's gaze suddenly fell on Lin Xiuyuan, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
For a moment, this unusual and powerful aura filled Zhang De with fear and made him want to retreat.
The situation has completely reversed!
Although these are just the power of talismans, and their power is constantly waning, who knows how many talismans a talisman master might possess?
Moreover, such power was too terrifying. Zhang De had no confidence that he could deal with these talismans while also facing a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
With this thought in mind, Zhang De urged his spirit sword to slash continuously, blocking the numerous whistling golden swords, while also raising a spirit shield that circled around him, allowing him to retreat continuously.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He took out a stack of talismans and began to activate them continuously.
One after another, wooden talismans emitted a continuous blue light, flying into the air and emitting a hazy blue glow. From these talismans, branches and vines continuously emerged, like tentacles, baring their fangs and claws.
