Starting as a Talisman Master

Chapter 74 Consecutive Slashes (Second Update)

Lu Chi didn't say anything more, only leaving one sentence before his figure disappeared from the spot.

Like a fully drawn bow suddenly released, he skimmed along the swirling gray mist, moving like a ghost towards the Qi Refining Level 5 follower on his left.

The attendant felt a blur before his eyes, and a visceral, ferocious aura, mixed with a malevolent wind, rushed towards him.

In his great alarm, he frantically formed hand seals, trying to summon the gray mist in the formation to create a shield in front of him.

Lu Chi's expression was indifferent, and he waved his sleeve.

The low-grade flying sword transformed once more into a dark blue sword rainbow, carrying the extreme cold energy of the "Taiyuan Xuanshui Scripture," and struck head-on at the gray mist shield hastily gathered by the follower with the force of thunder.

"when!"

The flying sword collided heavily with the gray mist, causing the Yin energy to violently shake and dissipate.

Just as the attendant was desperately holding on, thinking he had barely blocked the attack, and was about to retreat...

Lu Chi's left hand had somehow emerged from his sleeve, his index and middle fingers joined together, pointing out to the distance.

A dark, deep, hair-thin line of dark water silently shot out from his fingertips!

It was after he combined the "Taiyuan Xuanshui Jing" with his talent "Qinglu" that he repeatedly deduced and improved the offensive technique "Jinmang Caiye Zhizhi".

Stripped of the dazzling sharpness of metal-based magic, this water-based magic was violently compressed into his fingertips. Under the support of a resilient and dense essence like grass and trees, it exuded a heart-palpitating cutting force.

A faint glimmer flashed by, then disappeared silently through the air.

The dark water line easily sliced ​​through the follower's protective aura, which was fluctuating violently as they resisted the flying sword, and swept past their throat like a hot knife through butter.

"Well----"

The attendant's eyes widened, and before the roar from his throat could be fully uttered, his large head rolled and flew into the sky.

Warm blood gushed out like a spring into the dark, thick fog, only to be quickly swallowed up by the Yin energy of the formation.

thump.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the dark array flag in his hand also dimmed and fell into the dust.

At the heart of the formation, Ge Jiuzhang's pupils constricted sharply, and his previous composure vanished instantly.

It wasn't just because of Lu Chi's terrifying physical explosive power, but also because he had personally witnessed Lu Chi walk through the dense Yin Sha Corrosive Spirit Mist without any protection, and his body didn't even show the slightest sign of being corroded!

"You're not afraid of this Yin Sha miasma?!" Ge Jiuzhang exclaimed in shock, his greed instantly replaced by an indescribable chill.

The intelligence only said that this kid was a talisman master, but the speed at which his physical body exploded just now clearly showed that he was a ruthless character who also cultivated body tempering!

And that silent, dark light was so sharp that even he, a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, felt a chill run down his spine.

Lu Chi's gaze was cold and piercing. After successfully landing a blow, he paid no attention to his opponent's shock and did not pause in the slightest.

With a corner of the formation missing, the oppressive gray mist from the surrounding area immediately stopped.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of opening, Lu Chi exerted force with his feet again, stepping on the flowing gray mist on the ground, his figure like an arrow released from a bow, directly approaching the leader of the sixth level of Qi Refining on his right!

The follower, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, was already terrified.

Seeing his companion killed in an instant, he dared not underestimate his opponent. With a roar, he bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood directly onto the dark array flag in his hand.

The array flags suddenly emitted a bright gray light, and the surrounding thick fog surged wildly, condensing into a Yin Sha bone shield that was half a foot thick in front of him.

At the same time, he swiftly slapped his storage bag with one hand, and a short blade wreathed in flames shot out—a mid-grade magic weapon—heading straight for Lu Chi's face.

Lu Chi's momentum did not diminish; his dark blue Qi Refining Level 6 power poured into the flying sword in mid-air like a burst dam from an abyss.

His flying sword was merely an ordinary low-grade magic weapon; in terms of material and grade alone, it was clearly inferior to the opponent's blazing flaming short blade.

However, under the forceful enhancement of the profound magical power of the "Taiyuan Xuanshui Jing," which far surpassed that of other swords of the same level, the low-grade flying sword emitted a high-pitched sword cry.

The sword emanated a chilling aura, resembling a raging frost dragon emerging from the abyss, fiercely charging towards the short blade.

"when--!"

A piercing metallic clang rang out in mid-air.

Water is the natural enemy of fire, and with Lu Chi's almost tangible magical power overpowering skill and crushing the opponent, the higher-grade Fiery Short Blade only lasted for half a breath before letting out a mournful cry, its surface shattering with a deafening explosion, and being cleaved back by the force of the blow.

"Snap—"

The cost of directly confronting opponents of a higher level also becomes apparent.

This low-grade flying sword was ultimately made of mediocre materials and could not withstand such a violent surge of magical power and the recoil force of the two weapons colliding.

The moment it shattered the short blade, several fine cracks suddenly appeared on the sword's surface, and the originally sharp sword light also disappeared, clearly indicating that it was overwhelmed and its spiritual essence was greatly diminished.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Lu Chi had already moved close to the attendant like a tiger among sheep.

He didn't use any magic, but wanted to test his physical combat strength. He clenched his fist, and the terrifying power of the second level of body tempering mixed with the heavy magic power, and slammed his fist into the Yin Sha Bone Shield!

"boom!"

The powerful punch was like a heavy hammer striking thin ice.

The seemingly indestructible bone shield was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and then it exploded with a bang.

The remnants of Yin energy backfired, and the follower at the sixth level of Qi Refining was struck as if by lightning, spitting out blood as his body flew backward.

The dark, deep line of dark water reappeared at Lu Chi's fingertip, and he drew it forward with a flourish.

"laugh!"

An extremely restrained sharpness swept across, and the follower's body, which was flying backward in mid-air, suddenly froze. Then, it was smoothly sliced ​​open from the chest and abdomen, and blood rained down.

Two breaths!

In just two breaths, two cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining perished!

Upon seeing this, the remaining follower at the fifth level of Qi Refining turned weak in the knees, his hand holding the array flag trembled like a leaf, and he turned and fled without regard for anything else, trying to break out of the gray fog.

Lu Chi didn't even glance at him. With a flick of his finger, the azure flying sword in mid-air transformed into a streak of light, instantly piercing through the man's back and pinning him to the green rock.

All three formation masters perished!

"How dare you, you brat!"

At the center of the formation, Ge Jiuzhang finally snapped out of his extreme shock, his eyes bloodshot and bulging with rage.

These attendants were not only his capable assistants, but also the indispensable core of maintaining the "Yin Sha Corrosion Spirit Array".

Now that the three have died violently and the array flags have fallen off, the once harmonious formation has instantly developed a huge flaw. The gray mist that isolated the surrounding energy has begun to surge violently, showing a faint tendency to collapse.

A ruthless glint flashed in Ge Jiuzhang's eyes. He no longer cared about capturing and interrogating him about the opportunity. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the octagonal array plate in his hand.

"Die!"

As he poured all his mana into the array, which was at the late stage of the seventh level of Qi Refining, the array plate glowed brightly and emitted a mournful ghostly howl.

The surrounding gray mist, which had not yet dissipated, seemed to be drawn by some strong force, instantly transforming into dozens of gray-black chains of malevolent energy as thick as a child's arm.

These chains, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound and a nauseating stench, came from all directions to strangle Lu Chi!

Facing a desperate attack from a late-stage Qi Refining array master, Lu Chi remained calm and composed, his eyes showing no sign of panic.

Instead of retreating, he advanced and slammed his left hand on the storage bag.

"Buzz!"

A deep, resonant hum resounded within the formation.

A small shield, about the size of a palm and covered with intricate tortoise shell patterns, shot into the sky.

Under the infusion of Lu Chi's profound and boundless magical power, the Xuan Turtle Shield swelled in the wind, transforming into a giant, dark green spiritual shield over ten feet tall, like an unshakeable mountain, firmly protecting him behind him.

"Bang bang bang bang"

Dense chains of Yin energy lashed against the light screen of the Xuan Turtle Shield like a storm, creating a deafening roar.

The dark green spiritual light flickered violently, yet it withstood the relentless onslaught without even a crack appearing.

Lu Chi, shielded by the giant shield, remained as steady as a mountain amidst the frenzied attacks of the array.

He looked up through the interwoven spiritual light and coldly gazed at Ge Jiuzhang, whose face was filled with horror, at the center of the formation.

"Fellow Daoist Ge, if your skills stop here, you should be executed."
