Witch, please have some self-respect!

Chapter 86 Battle Against a Late-Stage Body Nourishing Being! Suppressing with True Intent! (Please continue reading and show your support!)

Using the characteristics of the formation, Shen Yun quietly crept towards the outside of the courtyard wall, his target being the place closest to the thief.

As he walked carefully, he held one rune stone, two rune stones, three rune stones... in his hand.

Shen Yun had previously obtained a Shadow Talisman Crystal from the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace and used it to create a Shadow Talisman. He used it quietly at this moment, his figure hidden in the shadows.

Even with the aid of runes, it still doesn't have the professionalism of a thief.

"Buzz!"

Under the cover of night, the rune stone made some noise, but the array blocked out the sound, and the thief did not hear it.

Shen Yun has not used the other runes yet.

Bright light is easily noticeable; the Glass Immovable Array provides sound insulation but not light blocking.

Shen Yun was like a patient hunter, not in a hurry, quietly waiting for the right opportunity.

Jia Tian held the instrument and measured the range of the formation, getting closer and closer to the courtyard where Shen Yun was.

Sudden.

He stopped and looked in surprise at Shen Yun's courtyard, where he also detected signs that the formation was activated.

"They're not connected, are they? That would be tricky."

Jia Tian frowned. As a thief, one should never steal or engage in combat with others.

That's robbery; it doesn't require much skill, it all comes down to ability.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the old man in the mid-stage of Body Nourishing was a talisman master, and if he used a talisman stone, he wasn't very confident he could take him down instantly.

Fortunately, God was on his side.

Walking to a corner of the courtyard, I tested the instrument in my hand and found that there was a gap in the middle, indicating that there were two sets of formations.

"call!"

Jia Tian breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't the worst-case scenario.

It's quite rare that both of these families can afford to use formations.

That rich scoundrel deserves to rob the rich to help the poor.

After stealing the green opportunity from this family, I'll find another chance to steal from the talisman master next door.

As Jia Tian approached the wall to investigate the formation, he suddenly sensed that the shadow in the corner ahead was unusually thick.

Sensing the shadows, he couldn't help but curiously peek over.

Shen Yun didn't expect him to dare stick his head out, and Jia Tian didn't expect there to be someone hiding there.

And so, the two figures hidden in the shadows, as they drew closer, suddenly locked eyes.

"Hmm? Fellow travelers?"

Jia Tian was somewhat surprised. Something was wrong. How come this colleague was within the range of the formation?

However, before he could react, Shen Yun reacted quickly and made the first move.

Multicolored lights instantly lit up Jia Tian's eyes.

Lightness of body, immense strength, super speed, boiling blood, golden light, detoxification, rejuvenation.

Shen Yun instantly crushed all seven rune stones, and various powers were added to his body, causing his blood to boil and his body to become light and agile.

Before the opponent could react, Shen Yun unleashed a powerful attack!

With the power of Jian Chun's true intent, he unleashed a powerful punch, striking the thief's head with lightning speed.

"This is insane!"

Jia Tian's mind was foggy from taking drugs these past few days, and he hadn't come to his senses yet.

He was still thinking about his peers, those who practiced similar shadow techniques.

It's true that there's competition among peers, but don't you look at where you are? If you start fighting, won't you just become a laughing stock?

Is what you stole enough to buy runestones?

Jia Tian had many questions in his mind.

Fortunately, the effects of the late-stage body-cultivation phase were still present. He quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest, intending to withstand the blow, then switch from defense to grappling, and then...

"Bang!"

The idea was good, but when Shen Yun threw a punch, Jia Tian's expression changed drastically.

In a daze, he felt as if he were facing a majestic and towering ancient tree, and a sense of insignificance arose beneath it, causing his newly gathered energy to dissipate.

Only 70% of his full strength was utilized.

The next moment, a tremendous force struck, blasting him away through the air.

That's amazing!

"This is too loud! We're in trouble! It'll alert the law enforcement! Run!"

Without time to think too much, as a thief, Jia Tian was very professional, and his first reaction was not to fight back.

Having lost the initiative and realizing something was wrong, he immediately changed his strategy, following the force and preparing to turn and run.

If the law enforcement team gets involved and we get blocked, then it's all over.

After his underlings were captured, his true appearance was drawn, and he was already on the Holy City's bounty list.

He cursed that stupid thief in his mind, "Do you think you're the Holy Sect's law enforcement team?!"

How dare they be so arrogant at night!

However, before he could even land and escape.

"Whoosh!"

A cloud of icy mist dissipated, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a bone-chilling cold seeped into his body. Jia Tian's mind cleared, and he figured out what to do.

Before his body could react, his movements became distorted, and he crashed heavily to the ground with a "ping".

His stiff body collided with the hard ground, and with the force of Shen Yun's punch still lingering, Jia Tian almost passed out.

"No, you're that talisman master!"

Even under freezing conditions, Jia Tian's mind remained clear. He came to his senses and looked back in disbelief.

At the same time, he quickly used his technique to mobilize his qi and blood to circulate throughout his body, trying to dispel the cold and restore his mobility.

But high-quality ice mist talismans are not so easily neutralized.

Faced with the thief's realization, Shen Yun remained silent after throwing away the Ice Mist Talisman.

I have no interest in wasting time talking to the other side.

In that instantaneous collision, relying on his keen insight, he made an initial assessment of his opponent's strength.

The Dao Thief's cultivation technique is extraordinary, boasting a more than threefold increase, exceeding the average increase of two times that of a wandering cultivator in the Holy City.

Although he had just entered the late stage of body cultivation, his strength was weak and barely reached 6,000 jin.

Fortunately, his spirit and will were scattered, and under the suppression of Shen Yunjian's true intention, he was unable to exert his full strength of five thousand jin.

The overall increase in strength barely reached 20,000 jin.

Can fight!

Taking advantage of the opponent's inability to recover, Shen Yun, clad in golden armor, took a step forward.

The violent force slammed heavily onto the ground, originating from the feet and then rebounding onto the body, causing the figure to surge forward.

Even without agility, speed is still quite fast.

In an instant, he crossed the distance between the two and arrived in front of the thief who had not yet gotten up.

He decisively stomped down heavily.

In battle, the worst thing you can do is hesitate and look back. Once you've made up your mind, kill the enemy first, and then talk about other things.

With the use of so many runes and the enhancement of the True Intent Battle Technique, each kick had a force of over 25,000 jin.

This is Shen Yun's source of confidence.

"you..."

Jia Tian's limbs were still stiff. He only had time to use the protective talisman and then took out a sword from his empty bag and held it horizontally in front of him.

"boom!"

A foot, shrouded in golden light, stomped heavily on his stomach.

Jia Tian's condition is very bad.

Lying on the ground, with one foot landing, there was no space to dodge or dissipate the force behind you.

He caught the full force of the kick with his body.

"Pfft~"

Even with the protective talisman weakening him, he was instantly bent into a shrimp-like shape.

Especially at the moment that kick landed, he felt his mental will was suppressed again, his blood and qi loosened, making it difficult for him to control himself and unable to exert his full strength.

It's like a mouse encountering a tiger; it can't control its fear at all.

feeling bad.

"Why is it being suppressed? It's so strange!"

Jia Tian was completely baffled, but he never quite figured out the real meaning.

The first thing that came to his mind was some kind of rune stone he had never heard of.

Seeing Jia Tian's hunched head, Shen Yun didn't hesitate at all and habitually kicked him.

The brick flew with tremendous force, a kick that felt like it carried nearly 30,000 jin (approximately 15,000 kg).

It carries the shockwave from "Nine Strikes to Overturn the Heavens".

Before he could catch his breath, Jia Tian was kicked away like a sandbag, his vision filled with starlight.

He suffered a concussion.

I couldn't catch my breath; I felt like my protective talisman was about to explode.

His body flew like a meteor straight into Ruyan's kitchen.

In the quiet night, a loud "boom" sounded, as if something had exploded.

Such a loud commotion was extremely noticeable at night, carrying through several alleys and startling a chorus of barking dogs in the distance.

Shen Yun knew something was wrong.

Since it was my first time fighting and I had no experience, I figured the noise from the thief pounding the ground would be much less.

With such a big commotion, I wonder how many people it will attract.

Jia Tian collapsed onto the broken ground, his head buzzing, as if his soul had left his body.

Fortunately, he still had a strong foundation from the later stages of recuperation, and with the help of a protective talisman, he managed to withstand the blood and grime covering his face.

Now that he was far from the center of the ice mist talisman, and had dispelled the chill in his body, he staggered as he tried to get up.

As long as I catch my breath, create some distance, and draw my sword, I'll definitely teach that old man in the mid-stage of Body Nourishing Realm a lesson!

His idea is good.

But Shen Yun was afraid of alerting the law enforcement team, in case the thief knew something and was taken away for interrogation.

The consequences are unpredictable.

"Go to hell!"

Therefore, Shen Yun was prepared to kill him directly.

Without pausing, he leaped forward again, entering the kitchen and delivering a knee strike that knocked him to the ground.

Under the suppression of true intent, Jia Tian was unable to unleash his full strength.

My already dazed state of mind became even more dazed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang....

A barrage of attacks—collision, entangling, shock, neutralizing, and penetrating—burst forth in succession.

In their first battle, Shen Yun focused on the true meaning of the matter, remaining calm and unleashing increasingly fierce punches that left Jia Tian struggling to defend himself.

In battle, it's all about being one step ahead, and always being one step ahead.

Faced with the relentless onslaught of attacks from above, Jia Tian gritted his teeth and stopped defending, taking a punch head-on into his face.

He then drew his longsword, tracing a mysterious path through the air, and thrust it with all his might at Shen Yun.

"Clang!"

This sword strike was enhanced with combat techniques, making it Jia Tian's most powerful attack.

"Snap!"

The golden armor on Shen Yun's body dimmed rapidly under this stab, and it looked like it was about to be destroyed.

Even under the suppression of true intent, this sword strike still possessed a force of forty to fifty thousand jin.

Jia Tian's face lit up with joy.

Shen Yun was startled and quickly crushed another golden armor talisman, causing another layer of golden light to rise.

Big spender!

Jia Tian was filled with despair. If he couldn't shatter the tortoise shell instantly, he wouldn't be able to outlast Shen Yun.

"Clang!"

The longsword was sent flying by Shen Yun's punch, which had regained its golden light, and his fist crashed down again like a meteor.

Thud! Thud! Thud...

"Snap!"

This sound was the sound of the protective talisman breaking after losing its effect, and Jia Tian's face showed a look of horror.

"I was wrong, theft is not a serious crime..."

"Jia Tian regretted it deeply, regretting that he hadn't stockpiled more rune stones before, if only he had that many rune stones."

Who will kill the deer is unknown.

"Snap!"

Shen Yun did not respond from beginning to end; this sound came from the thief's nose collapsing.

Click~ Click~

After a few more punches, the bandit leader's skull shattered, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

Shen Yun's heart was pounding. When he realized that the person beneath him was no longer resisting, he delivered several more blows to the chest, shattering the person's heart, before finally letting out a long breath.

"The later stages of recuperation are nothing special."

It was truly a thrilling and exhilarating battle.

However, the last sword strike from that thief was truly dangerous; even under Shen Yun's true intent, it still possessed the force of thirty to forty thousand jin.

With the enhancement of the thief's combat techniques and skills, the increase is probably five or six times.

This far exceeds the average growth rate of 2.5 times that of the Holy City.

The sixfold increase has already reached the average level of the disciples of the Holy Sect who cultivate their bodies.

I just don't know its origin.

However, the final victory belonged to Shen Yun, as the effect of the true meaning was even stronger than expected.

In particular, the suppression of those who are mentally unstable.

Without taking a break, Shen Yun ripped off the thief's mask and peered through the golden light emanating from his body.

The thief's face was distorted; he was someone Shen Yun didn't recognize at all.

He reached out and began to grope around, and soon found a void bag on the thief's chest. Shen Yun's face lit up with joy.

The Void Bag alone was worth so many rune stones, so he quickly put it into his pocket.

Now is not a good time to investigate.
