I proved immortality with thunder magic.

Chapter 67 In Trouble

The Trial Grounds.

In the mountains and forests, Zhou Tai's pupils contracted as he watched a man and a woman walk into his line of sight.

The two men were a tall, red-haired giant, eight feet tall, wearing animal skin armor and carrying a black iron battle axe.

One was a white-haired witch with a full head of white hair but a face like a young girl, holding a short flute made of white bones in her hand.

The two individuals' bizarre appearances were unusual in themselves, and their combination made them even more frightening.

After the two stopped about twenty or thirty feet away from Zhou Tai, the red-haired burly man immediately looked at him with an air of familiarity and said, "Hey, you must be a disciple of Spirit Beast Mountain, right? You only have the eighth level of Qi Refining cultivation and you dare to participate in this trial? You've got some nerve!"

Before Zhou Tai could even speak, the white-haired witch whispered a warning, "Be careful, the lightning just now was quite powerful. This guy might have lightning talismans on him!"

His voice was deep and weathered, clearly not that of a young person.

Clearly, the white-haired witch's age corresponds to her hair color.

The red-haired burly man, however, was unmoved by her reminder, sneering dismissively, "So what if it's a thunder talisman? Didn't those guys bring out thunder talismans during the day? They still died at my hands. We disciples of the Power Demon Sect are not like those of the Blood Spirit Sect..."

Those guys from the Demon-Slaying Sect are generally terrified of lightning!

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Tai with bloodlust and shouted, "Old man, did you hear me? Use whatever tricks you have now, or you'll regret it when you're about to die!"

This arrogant attitude clearly shows that he doesn't take Zhou Tai, who is only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, seriously.

Zhou Tai also knew that there was nothing to say to these two wicked villains.

He was already prepared, and said calmly, "Since that's the case, then so be it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved both hands, and two first-grade high-level magic talismans were instantly activated.

A magic talisman landed directly on him, transforming into a set of rock armor that protected him.

The other talisman transformed into a green silk umbrella that hung three feet above the head.

Just as he activated the magic talisman, the red-haired strongman suddenly roared, and a large amount of reddish-brown demonic energy surged from his body, condensing into a demonic energy armor on the outside of his animal skin armor. Then he raised his battle axe and charged towards Zhou Tai.

Facing the disciples of the Power Demon Sect, who were renowned for their close-combat skills, Zhou Tai would not allow them to get close to him easily.

While summoning the Azure Cloud Shield to reinforce his defense, he also unceremoniously threw out a Thunder Spear Talisman.

As the lightning spear flew out, Zhou Tai produced a cyan gourd in his hand.

Just as he opened the gourd stopper, a white bone spear shot through the air, piercing the emerald light barrier and landing on the Azure Cloud Shield itself, both falling to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light shield protecting him began to shake violently and rapidly faded to the naked eye.

It turned out that while he was fighting the red-haired strongman, the white-haired witch and the blue-winged giant bat in the sky also attacked him.

Zhou Tai's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the golden light shield had not yet broken to create another "golden light shield" talisman for himself, and then pointed the cyan gourd at the red-haired strong man.

The red-haired strongman had just swung his battle axe to shatter the lightning spear. His armor was cracked by the lightning, and his body was slightly numb, making him move slowly.

Upon seeing the bluish-purple smoke rushing towards him, he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and activated his demonic battle armor to form a demonic energy shield to isolate himself from the outside world.

But just as he had taken these precautions and continued his charge forward, a bolt of lightning and a sea of ​​fire from the sky blocked his path again.

At this moment, Zhou Tai seemed to have transformed into a spellcasting machine, constantly casting spells, some aimed at the red-haired strongman, others at the white-haired witch.

Neither the red-haired strongman nor the white-haired witch were ordinary cultivators. Under his barrage of spells, they both responded in an orderly and calm manner.

After being struck by lightning, the red-haired strongman abandoned his idea of ​​a quick victory. He quickly took out a huge white bone shield the size of a door from his storage bag and used it to block wave after wave of magical attacks.

The white-haired witch dodged and blocked attacks by constantly moving and using defensive artifacts, while also launching a counterattack against Zhou Tai from time to time.

She seemed to have some secret method to increase her movement speed, moving more nimbly than a monkey in the mountains and forests. When they were far apart, many of Zhou Tai's spells simply couldn't hit her.

Of course, her attacks posed little threat to Zhou Tai.

The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand for the time being.

"Damn it, where did this guy get so many magic talismans? And they're all thunder talismans!"

The red-haired burly man grew increasingly frightened and uneasy as he fought, and couldn't help but curse angrily.

The giant bone shield in his hand began to crack extensively under the barrage of attacks, and the demonic armor on his body had completely dissipated.

Now, with each lightning strike, some of the lightning's power falls on him, causing him to feel numbness and swelling all over his body.

Fortunately, their Power Demon Sect follows the path of body refinement, and their physical bodies are comparable to many demonic beasts of the same level, which is why they were able to hold on and not fall down, and were still able to speak.

"Hold on, no matter how many talismans he has, they'll eventually run out!"

While calmly reassuring her teammates, the white-haired witch also began to take out magic talismans from her storage bag to attack Zhou Tai.

Her magical talismans were somewhat varied, including some demonic talismans imbued with demonic energy and others used by cultivators.

Under her barrage of magical talismans, Zhou Tai's side indeed faced increased pressure instantly, with defensive talismans being used up one after another.

Seeing that things couldn't continue like this, Zhou Tai glanced at the red-haired strongman and decided to kill the scoundrel first.

Judging from the methods that the white-haired witch has used so far, she is either from Illusion Moon Valley or White Bone Demon Sect.

Regardless of which demonic sect's disciple it was, they posed a greater threat than the red-haired strongman and were more difficult to deal with.

After making up his mind, Zhou Tai first threw three lightning strike talismans in succession, using the paralyzing effect of lightning to control the red-haired strong man. Then, while enduring the white-haired witch's attack, he threw two lightning spear talismans at the red-haired strong man at the same time.

"Oh no, Grandma, save me!"

Upon seeing the appearance of the two lightning spears, the red-haired strongman's eyes immediately showed fear, and he was so frightened that he even called her "Grandma".

The white-haired witch's expression changed drastically, and she angrily shouted, "You won't get your way!"

With a shout, she wielded a white bone spear, a magical weapon, directly confronting one of the lightning spears.

Boom!

With two loud bangs, the white bone spear, emitting wisps of black smoke, fell to the ground, while the red-haired strongman was thrown several feet away after the white bone shield in his hand shattered.

The white-haired witch seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately threw out a talisman that landed in front of the red-haired strongman, transforming into a golden light shield that protected him inside. It turned out to be the same talisman as the "Golden Light Shield" used by Zhou Tai.

The moment the golden shield appeared, a bolt of lightning struck it, shattering it instantly.

"This idea is tricky, let's retreat!"

The white-haired witch quickly arrived in front of the red-haired strongman, using her own defensive magic weapon to block the attack of a golden light blade, and told the red-haired strongman to retreat.

Having narrowly escaped death time and again, the red-haired burly man had lost all his arrogance and immediately struggled to his feet, shouting, "Alright, then I'll trouble you to cover for me."

After saying that, he staggered away.

How could Zhou Tai allow this cooked duck to fly away!

Seeing that the white-haired witch was going to cover the red-haired strongman's retreat, he immediately took out a chain lightning strike talisman and threw it out.

"Watch out, it's a chain lightning strike talisman!"

Seeing the thunderclouds leaping with lightning in the sky, the white-haired demoness's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly warned the red-haired strongman to be careful.

At the same time, she quickly left the spot, no longer daring to stay by the red-haired strong man's side as his human shield.

Boom boom boom!

As bolts of lightning struck one after another, even though the white-haired witch had added a defensive talisman to the red-haired strongman before leaving, it couldn't change the fact that he would die on the spot.

Seeing the red-haired strongman blasted into a charred corpse, the white-haired witch's fair and delicate face, like that of a young girl, was instantly filled with rage. She glared at Zhou Tai with furious eyes and roared, "You bastard from Spirit Beast Mountain, I'll remember you! You'd better pray you can stay hidden forever!"

After leaving behind these hateful words, she quickly left the place with her giant blue-winged bat spirit pet.

Zhou Tai did want to keep her here as well, but unfortunately, he was much slower than her and couldn't stop her from leaving.

"What a hassle, such a hassle!"

Watching the white-haired witch's departing figure, Zhou Tai muttered "trouble" several times.

This white-haired witch is definitely a big problem for him.

The opponent's Azure Winged Giant Bat spirit pet was also a nocturnal species, but because its cultivation level was much higher, it completely countered his Clawed Wind Owl.

At the same time, the opponent's movements were swift and swift, completely countering his ability to fight positional battles using magical talismans.

In this situation, just as the other party said before leaving, unless he can hide well and not be discovered by the other party, the other party can slowly wear down his magic talismans using guerrilla tactics.

Now all he can do is try to hide himself or find a way to keep the other party away before they come back to fight.

After sighing, Zhou Tai quickly went forward and collected all the red-haired strongman's belongings, then threw the body into the still-burning forest and quickly left in the opposite direction from the white-haired witch.

The shelter was no longer safe to stay in, so Zhou Tai had to take advantage of the darkness to find another relatively safe place to think of a solution.

As a result, the injured Clawed Owl Laifu was released again and took on the task of scouting ahead and leading the way.

Just over a quarter of an hour after Zhou Tai and the white-haired witch left the battlefield, a giant blue eagle carrying three cultivators landed in the still-burning forest.

If Zhou Tai were here, he would have discovered that the three cultivators on the giant eagle's back were none other than disciples of the Nanhua Sect.

After the three landed and surveyed the area, one of the older men, dressed in blue, stroked his beard and said, "Such a dense aura of residual lightning power! I saw flashes of lightning here earlier; it seems those demon lads have encountered a powerful opponent!"

"Look, there's a corpse that hasn't been completely burned yet. Judging by how well it's held up to the flame, it's probably some scum from the Power Demon Sect!"

Soon someone discovered the still-burnt body of the red-haired strongman and immediately guessed his origin.

Then another person pointed to the bone fragments left after the giant bone shield shattered and said, "There are also broken bone spiritual materials here, and there may be thieves from the Bone Demon Sect."

The group shared their findings, while the old man in blue robes wandered around the scene, gathering more information from the remaining traces of the atmosphere.

A moment later, he spoke with certainty, "It's confirmed. There should be three people fighting here, along with demonic beasts and spirit pets. Judging from the aura present, it should be two demonic cultivators and one immortal cultivator!"

Upon hearing this assessment, the Nan Hua Sect disciple who had first discovered the red-haired burly man's body asked curiously, "To be able to fight two opponents and kill a thief from the Power Demon Sect, I wonder who this powerful individual is? Could he be from the Ling Xu Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in blue robes pondered for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Very likely. As far as I know, among the Foundation Establishment stage lightning cultivators of the Lingxu Sect, there are three who can draw lightning talismans. The lightning aura here is so dense that it must have been left by a large number of lightning talismans!"

"It seems the Lingxu Sect has indeed invested heavily this time. We must work even harder and absolutely cannot allow them to surpass our Nanhua Sect in this trial!"

After the disciple finished speaking, the three of them exchanged a glance, all revealing determined expressions.

They are disciples of the Nanhua Sect, the number one sect in Heng Kingdom. They can lose to the demonic path in this trial, but they absolutely cannot lose to any sect in Heng Kingdom in terms of gains!

With this belief in mind, the three quickly climbed back onto the back of the giant blue eagle and swiftly left the scene.
