"Someone's coming."
Tu Nian quickly gave Song Chengming a look, and Song Chengming tacitly put away his posture to block the person, while she herself placed a talisman in front of the cave.
With this talisman, if someone with insufficient cultivation comes forward, they will be blocked outside by the talisman. As for someone with high cultivation... the one with high cultivation will try to fool people first, and if fooling people doesn't work, he will call for help!
Anyway, the mountaintop is now full of their people, so if all else fails, they can send a long-distance sound transmission note to Nie Yanchen. After all, they can't let this good place fall into the hands of others.
After setting up the talisman, Tu Nian did not continue to play the role of trying to hide his true identity. Instead, he turned around and went to find Song Chengming.
When she found Song Chengming, as expected, Song Chengming had already confronted the newcomers, but surprisingly, he joined the fight between the newcomers!
Hearing the sound of fighting coming from the front, Tu Nian immediately subconsciously held his breath, stuck a divine invisibility talisman on his body, and then crouched down to the scene of the fight.
Not far away, Song Chengming and a man in white were surrounded by more than ten monks in the center of the crowd. The two sides fought back and forth, but the other side was more numerous and powerful, and their every move was effective. In just a short while, Song Chengming and the man had many scars on their bodies.
It's bandits!
When Tu Nian recognized the monks' attire, his eyes darkened. Most likely, someone encountered bandits in Tianmu Ridge, so they ran here in a panic.
It seems that for the sake of the source of pure fire, they have to do it today.
Song Chengming never expected that he had come to stop someone and yet he became a hero inexplicably. Besides, apart from the big melee during the previous competition, he had almost no experience in actual combat. Compared with these ruthless bandits, he was definitely far behind.
The other party's attacks were all aimed at his vital points, but he focused on defending first. If it weren't for the man in white sharing the firepower, he would have probably been dead by now.
When he was in a state of panic, he turned around and saw Tu Nian out of the corner of his eye. It was as if he had suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. He was so moved that he almost cried. He immediately called out to her loudly, "Sister Tu, help me!"
Perhaps it was because he shouted too suddenly, the man in white beside him suddenly slowed down his blocking movement after hearing it.
The bandit opposite him took this opportunity to suddenly attack, swung his sword and drew a long bloody mark on his arm. At the same time, Tu Nian discovered the talisman in the hand of the man in white.
This person is actually also a talisman cultivator.
The situation was urgent, and Tu Nian had no time to think about it. She withdrew her gaze, flipped her hands repeatedly, and threw several talismans at the bandits. She took out the golden rope that she had just taken back from Nie Yanchen from the mustard seed, and rushed towards the battlefield with the Five Steps.
Tu Nian's time hiding in the dark was not wasted. While observing the fight between the two sides, she had already figured out the strength of those bandits.
This group of bandits cannot be said to be a mob, but there are no masters either. Most of them are at the level of Qi training and foundation building, and there are only three who have reached the Golden Core level.
The leader had the strongest cultivation, at the peak of the Golden Core realm. It was also under his command that the bandits looked more aggressive.
Therefore, when Tu Nian made this move, three of the seven talismans were aimed at this person.
The three talismans are named Sealing Soul, Stealing Soul and Controlling Veins respectively. All of them are powerful restrictive talismans targeting a single target, and Tu Nian has given them an automatic tracking effect.
It can be said that unless you break it open forcibly, once you are hit by any one of the three talismans, the other two will be unavoidable.
As long as they could restrain the leader's movements, even if only for a few moments, she and Song Chengming would be able to control the situation and repel at least two-thirds of the bandits. Then, defeating them one by one wouldn't be too difficult.
However, although Tu Nian had a good idea, the implementation process was not so smooth.
The leader of the other side not only had a high level of cultivation, but was also extremely vigilant. Every sword move he made was dangerous, and it was obvious that he was taking lives. It seemed that many of the merchants and passers-by who died in Tianmu Ridge were killed by him.
Not to mention Song Chengming's reminder, even if he hadn't, he would always hide himself among the many bandits, and the formation he personally commanded was as solid as a rock.
No matter how powerful the talisman is, it will only take effect when it touches another person. The other party did nothing but casually pulled a few human shields to protect himself, and broke all three talismans of Tu Nian.
Seeing that the opponent was not only strong but also smart, Tu Nian knew that if they continued to fight like this without any result, that person would sooner or later gain the upper hand by relying on the advantage in numbers, so she frowned, raised her hand and threw the golden rope in her hand away.
"Xiao Song, use the range!"
Song Chengming has little experience in fighting, but he is good at listening to advice.
As soon as Tu Nian said this, he immediately took out a talisman with a super large range from his body and threw it into the crowd with absolute hand speed.
What was strange was that although the other man in white had never met Tu Nian before, he believed her words without a doubt and also followed with a large-scale explosive talisman.
Needless to say, the explosive talisman was extremely powerful, and the ice ring talisman, which was specifically designed for snow, made people feel as if they were in an ice cave. For a moment, red and blue halos spread out from the crowd, causing irresistible physical stiffness to the surrounding bandits with lower cultivation levels.
Although the effect of the range talisman is extremely short, what Tu Nian wants is just a turning point in this moment.
As the talisman took effect, Tu Nian's hand gestures also came to an end. The golden rope snaked out like a golden snake and quickly found the bandits.
Those bandits who had stronger resistance and were able to break free from the stiffness barely fought off the attacks of the golden ropes, while those bandits who were stuck in stiffness were tied up by the golden ropes one after another.
Under Tu Nian's control, these deceived bandits were tied together with golden ropes and rolled out of the battlefield like a string of candied haws.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people will eventually become the spoils of some disciple of Jixue or Bihai.
For a moment, there were only a few bandits left. Apart from the three Jindan, there were only two in the late foundation building stage. However, after seeing how powerful Tu Nian was, they retreated behind the three Jindan in fear.
So, three against five.
The situation became clear in an instant, and the opponent lost their initial momentum. Although Tu Nian and his companions were outnumbered, the outcome was still uncertain.
Finally understanding the battle situation, Song Chengming breathed a sigh of relief and gave Tu Nian a thumbs up.
"Sister Tu, so domineering!"
“Keep a low profile.”
Tu Nian responded casually to Song Chengming's words, but his gaze did not move away from the leading bandit even though the situation had improved. Instead, he stared at him even more closely.
Seeing that the man seemed to be making some temporary adjustments, she looked straight ahead, tilted her chin slightly towards the man in white and asked, "Are you okay?"
Tu Nian didn't know that because of this, she missed the other person's overly meaningful look.
"It's okay, thank you two fellow Taoists for your help." said the man in white.
