During the competition, Lin Xiuyuan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
But such a situation is enough to shock anyone who sees it.
"Who is this person? The Great Yue actually has such a prodigy? To be able to go toe-to-toe with the senior brother is truly astonishing!"
"Although he's no match for Senior Brother, to be able to withstand this much is truly astonishing. Such power from a spiritual talisman is almost unbelievable; to be able to unleash such power from a talisman while only at the Foundation Establishment stage? This Great Yue truly lives up to its reputation as a kingdom of spiritual masters—it's truly amazing!!"
"Faced with the senior brother who has been the chief for many years, I'm afraid that even senior brother Ding Ran and senior sister Rong Guilan, who were once his rivals, would not be able to withstand him to this extent now."
"Our senior brother has already used the 'Mysterious Ghost Hand,' a secret technique belonging to the Ghost King Banner, which has already subtly surpassed the level of his current realm. It is truly astonishing that he can still exchange blows with such a secret technique for several rounds."
"To be able to achieve this level with a talisman is truly unbelievable."
"This kid must be one of the most outstanding talents in the Great Yue Kingdom, right? How come I've never heard of such a person before!"
"However, that's about it. This level is probably his limit. After the eldest brother became the chief, he received the help of the ancestor to manifest the Ghost King Banner. Looking at the entire Southern Continent, there are only a handful of people who can rival the eldest brother's combat power. They are all the chiefs of their respective hegemonic forces, and obviously, this person is not among them..."
...
…………
Watching the ghost hand gradually annihilate the power of as many as thirteen top-tier spirit talismans, which had only shrunk to a little over half size, it still contained a terrifying amount of power.
Lin Xiuyuan's expression darkened slightly.
This Ghost Banner has evolved to possess a portion of the power of the Ghost King Banner. As one of the most powerful methods of the Ghost Spirit Sect, its power far exceeds his imagination!
At that moment, he had no choice but to activate the top-tier spirit talisman once again, mixed with many high-grade low-level spirit talismans, and unleash it again to annihilate the terrifying power of the ghost hand's invasion.
In an instant, one after another, spiritual talismans burst forth.
As the talisman exploded, it instantly blazed with dazzling flames and chilling white light, continuously unleashing powerful spiritual energy fluctuations!
Streams of fire reappeared, spreading out into a terrifying sea of flames that enveloped everything, radiating intense heat. Wind blades pierced the air with sharp whistling sounds. In addition to several large wind blades, numerous smaller ones accompanied them, exuding a sharp and violent aura, as if they had jointly formed a white storm.
With these multiple attacks erupting and clashing down, creating a series of booming sounds, it took nearly a minute to gradually shatter the demonic energy and finally annihilate the ghost hand, which had already been weakened by more than half.
In an instant, Lin Xiuyuan's expression darkened, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Heh, your talisman is indeed somewhat interesting, its power is not bad, it certainly deserves to be among the ranks of the prodigies, no wonder it can become my killing intent! But that's all, it's not enough in front of me. Heh, let's see how many more talismans you can use to resist my methods!"
Upon seeing this, Wu Chengfeng looked arrogant and sneered.
His eyes flashed with killing intent, mixed with a hint of joy, as if he was about to suppress Lin Xiuyuan, which made him very happy.
After saying that, Wu Chengfeng reached out and touched the Ghost Banner, pouring in surging and powerful magic power, which immediately spread out wisps of demonic energy.
The aura shifted, and the enormous ghostly figure that had been hidden within transformed into countless ghostly shadows, emanating mournful ghostly cries that shook one's soul, forcing one to distract oneself and regain composure.
As Wu Chengfeng made another hand seal, countless ghostly figures seemed to emerge from them, accompanied by demonic energy, their spiritual essence growing stronger and stronger, gathering momentum for a new round of attacks.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan's face turned ashen.
These words truly resonated with Lin Xiuyuan.
If he had enough talismans, he might not necessarily lose this battle.
But the key issue is that there aren't enough talismans.
After achieving the Great Perfection of his cultivation, he immediately began making top-tier spirit talismans. Due to time constraints, he only managed to produce a total of dozens.
Half of it has already been used up.
If we use all our resources and fight Wu Chengfeng, maintaining an undefeated record, or even surpassing him by one or two points, shouldn't be a big problem.
But after this battle, there were still so many Ghost Spirit Sect disciples around, including many exceptionally talented individuals...
Once all the top-tier spirit talismans are used up... his most relied-upon method, the one that gives him invincible combat power, will be exhausted. He might even struggle against a top genius like Ding Ran, and would need to unleash his full power to possibly gain the upper hand, let alone continue fighting against Wu Chengfeng.
Lin Xiuyuan looked around and could easily see that the situation was getting worse and worse...
When Wang Xiangyang and his two companions joined forces, they were overwhelmed by Ding Ran in just a few rounds and found themselves in dire straits.
At this moment, Wang Xiangyang activated the talisman and unleashed a huge wind blade containing surging power, which turned the tide of the battle.
However, Ding Ran's strength was formidable, and since it was merely a talisman treasure, not an ancient treasure, it was insufficient to make him retreat.
The power of a talisman depends on the cultivation level of the person activating it. At most, it can only unleash the ultimate combat power of the current realm, barely reaching the level of Lin Xiuyuan and Wu Chengfeng.
Therefore, the number of talismanic treasures is even fewer than that of ancient treasures. Ancient treasures, when activated, can continuously unleash power exceeding their current level and can be used repeatedly. Talismanic treasures, on the other hand, are one-time use items, and the cost is the destruction of magical artifacts and the extraction of their essence for refinement. Their main advantage is their speed of activation, which is not limited by cultivation level and depends entirely on how much power an individual can mobilize from the talismanic treasures.
Therefore, apart from powerful forces keeping some as a foundation, very few talisman treasures circulate in the outside world.
Therefore, although this talisman had an advantage over Ding Ran, it could not form an absolute advantage and only put Ding Ran on the defensive.
As time goes by, the power of the talisman will fade, and the situation will inevitably fluctuate again.
On the other side, Rong Guilan directly killed two people. The last person was saved by Liu Lei, who was nearby. Seeing that something was wrong, he was amazed by Rong Guilan's top combat power and activated his talisman without hesitation, thus saving the last person's life.
Even so, the four of them working together, along with the burst of talisman power, could only force Rong Guilan back and put her at a disadvantage. They posed no threat to her life and could not change the course of the battle.
Meanwhile, Fang Lian's three-person team was also being targeted by a top prodigy from the Ghost Spirit Sect, who was already waiting for an opportunity to activate his talisman...
The situation is now at a significant disadvantage.
Defeat is only a matter of time.
And so far, they had only held on for less than a quarter of an hour.
The goal of that moment seems to be a long way off.
Not to mention, with the formation only half activated and not fully repaired, it will likely take even longer to achieve the ultimate strategic objective.
At this point, it's not hard to see that things have collapsed.
