Refining Ruins Cauldron

With each step, a thin crack appeared in the ground.

That overwhelming sense of oppression was almost suffocating.

Gu Qingyun fought and retreated, constantly throwing talismans out of his hand.

Fortunately, he was well-prepared for this trip; otherwise, these few moves alone could have emptied his savings.

Unfortunately, the giant bear not only possesses incredible strength, but its physical defense is also terrifying.

The talisman exploded, leaving only a few white marks on its body.

It didn't even leave the slightest scratch, let alone break through the defenses and strike a vital point.

At this moment, Gu Qingyun's face was so ugly it looked like it could drip water.

"If this continues, I'm afraid we'll never be able to break through this beast's defenses!"

He gritted his teeth and took out a top-grade third-tier talisman.

Don't underestimate this upgrade just because it's only one level higher; its power is far superior to that of a second-tier talisman.

He pulled out five bills at once, causing even the giant bear to pause, and a hint of apprehension appeared in its eyes as it looked at Gu Qingyun.

Those five top-grade third-tier talismans exuded a strong aura of threat.

Third-tier talismans are quite expensive and scarce; even the Longevity Sect's treasure vault has very few in stock.

Gu Qingyun had gone to great lengths to acquire all the third-tier talismans he could, intending to use them for self-defense when entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

While a third-tier talisman might not be enough to kill the giant bear, breaking through its defenses shouldn't be too difficult.

"go!"

Without saying a word, Gu Qingyun immediately threw out a card, which flew towards the giant bear.

The talisman moved with lightning speed, instantly slicing through the miasma.

By the time the giant bear realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge and it had no choice but to take the hit.

A pair of bear paws were crossed in front of him, and the talisman burst into intense white light the moment it made contact.

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards.

In the blink of an eye, the open area had expanded several times over, leaving behind a patch of scorched earth after the explosion.

The sturdy ancient tree was uprooted, and pieces of wood flew everywhere.

Even Gu Qingyun was forced back more than ten meters before he could barely regain his footing.

"Damn humans! Roar!"

The giant bear emerged from the dust and mist, its body charred black and looking rather disheveled.

His aura was clearly weaker than before.

The third-tier top-grade talisman really works!

Gu Qingyun was overjoyed; he finally had a chance to fight back.

But he didn't let it go to his head.

A top-grade third-tier talisman only caused the giant bear some pain; it was far from causing serious injury.

This beast has thick skin and tough flesh; if I really fought it to the death, I still couldn't withstand a single blow from it.

"Again!"

Gu Qingyun continued to throw out talismans, but this time they were a mix of real and fake ones, with a large number of second-tier talismans mixed in.

Having learned from the previous experience, the giant bear will naturally be on guard.

If it weren't for prior defense, a third-tier talisman could have truly penetrated the protective aura.

The human in front of him was not an ordinary person; the talismans in his hand were like they were free, something the giant bear had never seen before.

But the more careful it was, the longer Gu Qingyun could delay.

The second-tier talisman bombardment may seem weak, but its strength lies in its large quantity.

The Thunderfire Talisman exploded, burning the giant bear's fur into curls.

The ice spikes cracked, and frost condensed on the giant bear's legs.

The wind blade talisman swept across, and although it couldn't pierce the flesh, it could still slow its movements.

Like a mosquito bite, though not fatal, it harasses the giant bear to no end, gradually driving it to rage and causing it to lose its intelligence!

"Damn insects, stop right there!"

The giant bear unleashed its spiritual power, instantly deflecting the incoming talismans and preventing the explosion from taking place.

Its speed increased once again, and it charged towards Gu Qingyun!

Its massive body suddenly charged forward, smashing several ancient trees to pieces.

Gu Qingyun's eyes twitched.

If you get hit by that, not only will your bones break, your whole body will fall apart!

"snort!"

Gu Qingyun snorted coldly, enduring the terrifying pressure, and once again unleashed a top-grade third-tier talisman!

Doing this is extremely risky.

Once the giant bear seizes the opportunity, it can kill him with a single blow!

But Gu Qingyun had no other choice!

Sure enough, this time the gamble paid off.

The sheer power of the third-tier top-grade talisman instantly made the giant bear's eyes clear a bit.

If what was a mosquito bite just now was a giant beast trampling you!

The bear reacted quickly enough, but at such close range, it didn't have time to make any move.

boom!

The explosion struck the giant bear head-on, and this time it didn't even have time to raise its paws to defend itself!

The terrifying force forced the giant bear back several steps, finally leaving several bloody gashes on its body!

The defenses have been breached!

After holding them back for so long, this was the first time Gu Qingyun had injured the giant bear.

But he showed no sign of joy, continuing to use the "Free and Easy Steps" to widen the distance between himself and others.

The giant bear could kill him at any moment, so Gu Qingyun only had one chance to try and fail.

Once caught, it's a death sentence!

"roar!"

Another roar came from behind.

The giant bear's rage surged to the top of its head, and its last remaining shred of reason vanished completely at that moment.

Its chest heaved, its eyes were bloodshot, and blood kept seeping from its wounds.

The injuries weren't serious, but they completely ignited its murderous intent.

Gu Qingyun didn't turn his head, but he could clearly feel that the giant bear's aura was slightly weaker than before.

This also gave him an opportunity!

"Keep bombing!"

Second-tier talismans bombard the enemy, while third-tier talismans create distance at crucial moments!

Even if the giant bear is incredibly strong and could easily kill him, as long as the attack doesn't land on him, he still has a chance!

This is the only path Gu Qingyun can take.

We can't block it head-on; we can only stall.

We cannot be greedy for quick results; we can only persevere.

As long as Nalan Feixue can break through the siege of the other three spirit beasts as soon as possible, there is still a chance for their side to survive.

Not far away, the other three spirit beasts finally noticed what was happening.

They have been besieging Nalan Feixue.

After all, this is the only threat.

Once this human female cultivator is dealt with, the rest of Gu Qingyun is nothing but an ant.

Even now, the giant bear still hasn't been able to deal with Gu Qingyun!

What's going on here?!

How could these human ants be so tenacious?

"I'll help you!"

The wolf was the first to react, and it was also the fastest of the four beasts!

Before the words were even finished, it had already transformed into a gray shadow, forcibly breaking free from the shroud of Nalan Feixue's sword aura.

Nalan Feixue's eyes turned cold, and she slashed out with her sword. The sword energy grazed the wolf's back, cutting off a large patch of fur.

But in the end, it was still a fraction of a second too slow.

In the blink of an eye, the wolf changed direction and pounced on Gu Qingyun!

It is quite different from the giant bear.

The giant bear was powerful and heavy, crushing the target head-on.

The wolf-beast was as fast as a ghost, its body almost blending into the miasma.

In the blink of an eye, they had already closed in on Gu Qingyun's side and rear.

Gu Qingyun's face turned ashen.

He had already given his all to deal with the giant bear; if another wolf were to appear, he would be doomed!

"No! We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die!"

He focused his mind and activated the "Forging God Technique" to its fullest extent, using his spiritual sense to condense needles!

An invisible silver needle appeared out of thin air.

It has become much thicker and stronger than when it first started cultivating.

Although the silver needles were formless and intangible, they carried an extremely sharp aura.

That wasn't spiritual power, but pure spiritual attack!

"kill!"

In an instant, the silver needles shot out!

Spirit beasts have powerful physical bodies, far stronger than ordinary human cultivators, but their spiritual consciousness is not necessarily as strong!
