Su Yu’s talent for alchemy far surpassed all the prodigies he had ever seen. Sigh.
A few cultivators in the Scripture Pavilion glanced at each other, curious. Why was the shopkeeper of the Scripture Pavilion sighing regretfully? Was he troubled or worried about something?
Su Yu left the Inner Market. Night had fallen, a heavy curtain enveloping the world.
Suddenly.
Subtly shifting his gaze, Su Yu faintly moved his figure. Another figure quietly took his place, instantly diving into a mountain path ahead.
Buzz!
In the next instant, talismans appeared, forming a symbol array. It was like layers of pagodas pressing down, together with a substantial gravitational pull that trapped ‘Su Yu’ effectively.
At the same time, a figure appeared not far ahead, looking at Su Yu trapped in the array with a contemptuous smile on his face.
“Just a second level cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, how hard can it be? Is there a need for strategies?”
Taoist Hongyue, middle-grade talisman maker of the second order in BaiBao Mountain, shook his head disdainfully.
Using a symbol array against him was already quite respectful.
He was just afraid of any accident.
Otherwise, for a fifth level cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm like himself, dealing with a mere second level wouldn’t require so much trouble.
“Die.
A top-grade flying sword magic artifact appeared in Taoist Hongyue’s hand. As he poured his mana into it and formed a Dharma seal, the flying sword erupted into a terrifying radiance. It broke through the air and plunged into the array in a flash, aiming to pierce Su Yu’s skull.
But the next moment, the ‘trapped’ ‘Su Yu’ abruptly caught the flying sword with his bare hands.
“Clang!”
A harsh metallic sound echoed through the night, sparks flying everywhere. The top-grade flying sword continued to hum as it struggled to break free from ‘Su Yu’s’ grasp, but to no avail.
Outside, Taoist Hongyue remained frozen: “Caught, caught with bare hands?” He’s stunned. That was a top-grade magical sword!
Even if he tried to catch it barehanded, his hand would likely be cut off!
Before he had time to react.
The next moment.
A figure suddenly burst out from the ground behind him.
A cluster of talismans was activated and hurled towards him.
Fire Thunder Sword Symbol, Mind Control Symbol, Dragon Slaying Symbol— “Boom!”
An unimaginably terrifying aura erupted behind Taoist Hongyue. For that split second, he felt the chill of death creep over him as he rapidly recalled every moment of his life since childhood.
In the next moment, Taoist Hongyue snapped back to reality, cursing internally, desiring to escape.
Mid-grade defensive talismans of the second order immediately appeared in his hand.
Buzz!
Layer upon layer of defensive barriers and shields formed behind him.
“Boom!”
Shields and barriers shattered one by one, and at the moment Taoist Hongyue breathed a sigh of relief, a surge of soul power suddenly charged into his Brow-center.
Mind Control Symbol!
Taoist Hongyue’s expression turned vacant instantly.
“Dragon Slaying Symbol.”
Without any hesitation, Su Yu took out a top-grade Dragon Slaying Symbol, infused it with mana, and flicked it towards Taoist Hongyue.
Still in mid-air, a white light suddenly broke through, with such speed that the naked eye could hardly track. The sky and earth seemed to ripple.
“Splat!”
The white light slashed through Taoist Hongyue and fell onto a mountain not far off.
“Boom!”
The mountain was immediately cut in half.
Taoist Hongyue:
Until the end, he never understood how he was brought down when ambushing a mere second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm?
What was up with that pile of talismans?
And what level was that terrifying final attack?
“Zhiyan and Shi Hai, those bastards set me up!” Roared Taoist Hongyue in his
heart as he died.
The symbol array ‘trapping’ ‘Su Yu’ immediately lost control. Su Yu collected it and summoned a Fire Ape to incinerate Taoist Hongyue’s corpse into ashes.
The remaining magic artifacts and Qiankun Bag fell, and Su Yu collected them.
The puppet disguised as ‘Su Yu’ was also retracted back into his Dantian.
Su Yu applied a second-order mid-grade Restraint Talisman and a second-order mid-grade Invisibility Talisman to himself, and then decisively employed the Earth Escape Skill to make a swift departure.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Not long after the end of the great battle, a horde of cultivators swarmed in like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves from all directions.
However, it was a pity. By the time they arrived, the battle was long over, and the battlefield had been hastily tidied up.
The only thing they couldn’t restore was the mountain, half of which had been chopped off by the top-grade Dragon Slaying Symbol.
The cultivators who rushed in scenting blood surveyed the scene, their eyes eventually landing on the bisected mountain. Cold gasps echoed in the air, the question resounding: “Who was it? Who had made the move?”
“I felt the aura of a cultivator at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but then it disappeared!”
“My God, did someone just kill a fifth level cultivator in less than ten breaths?”
“Look at this mountain, you can imagine how brutal the fifth-level cultivator’s end was. Half of the mountain was cut off. He is probably completely annihilated!”
“But whoever made the move ran away pretty fast, I wonder who it was!”
The cultivators discussed it amongst themselves, warily looking at each other. Then, after searching and finding nothing profitable, they dispersed.
The cave dwelling.
Su Yu quietly returned here and spent a while monitoring the surroundings for signs of activity..
