Chapter 235: Chapter 134: First Battle (Part 2)

“How is this possible? Where did you get so many wartime talismans?” Situ Yan scanned the large number of talismans in the hands of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Qingyin Valley, instantly turning pale with shock.

The trade alliance and Wuxiang Sect have been competing for more than a decade, and all the war supplies of the major Immortal Cities, especially talismans that are easily activated and quickly enhance combat strength, have long been purchased by the trade alliance.

All major talisman suppliers are connected to the trade alliance.

How could so many still appear?

Moreover, with the wealth of the Wuxiang Sect, how could they still afford such purchases after so many years of consumption?

“It’s merely the advantage of righteousness!” Yu Ziyu thought of the wartime supplies sent by Li Jizhou at this critical moment, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

She could almost certainly conclude now that Master Han was surely Li Jizhou’s secret ally.

“Hmph, don’t be arrogant, they are merely insignificant people.”

“Let me show you the true power of my Southern Netherworld Fire Spirit Body—Blazing Flames Scorching the Sky!” Situ Yan was already desperate, no longer holding back his strength.

Boom~

In an instant, Yu Ziyu felt as if the whole world had plunged into a sea of fire,

the intense waves of fire engulfing her like the force of a mountain collapsing.

“Primordial Magnetic Immortal Light!” She also unleashed the Power of Origin of her Magnetic Spirit Body, releasing a wave of energy containing the Heaven and Earth Magnetic Field from her dantian, forcefully resisting the overwhelming flames.

“Damn it!” The battlefield between Yu Ziyu and Situ Yan, covered in flames, instantly attracted attention from those around them. Zhou Cang, seeing this scene, was filled with fury, and pushed the Blood Burst Pill to its limit, repelling his opponent, then charged toward Situ Yan.

“Boom~” Just as Zhou Cang charged into the sky full of flames, his Mana Shield shattered instantly, the raging flames penetrating his body like they were alive.

After all, it was the Innate Divine Abilities of the Southern Netherworld Fire Spirit Body, even a Fake Pill Master relying on the Blood Burst Pill to forcibly enhance his strength, and even an ordinary Middle Stage Core Formation cultivator would find it difficult to resist.

“Ah!” With a cry, Zhou Cang retreated in a sorry state, his hair and beard all scorched, even his top-grade robe had turned completely black.

He hurriedly swallowed a Rejuvenating Pill, barely suppressing his injuries.

“Get out of the way, old man!” The Golden Core Peak Protector, who was fighting two opponents from afar, saw Yu Ziyu trapped in the sea of flames and swung his top-grade spiritual artifact to send one person flying, preparing to go for rescue.

“Your opponent is us!” However, the two Late Stage Core Formation guardians of the trade alliance showed no intention of retreating.

Naturally, his strength alone was no match for the Wuxiang Sect protector, but one of them wielded a first-grade spiritual treasure staff, which was rather imposing.

“I’ll take care of it!” Just as the protector worried about Yu Ziyu, Ye Jingyu flashed past in a startling move and charged toward Situ Yan.

Yu Ziyu, as the clan leader of Qingyin Valley, played a crucial role at this moment, among those present, only she could rightfully convince the various sects and groups in Yan Kingdom, so she naturally could not have any accidents.

“You thief, stop!” The two Middle Stage Core Formation cultivators battling Ye Jingyu certainly couldn’t let him disrupt the City Lord’s spellcasting and decisively went to intercept.

Ye Jingyu’s eyes flashed with a cold smile, just waiting for this opportunity.

Seeing one person already blocking his path to Situ Yan, Ye Jingyu didn’t hesitate any longer, his aura surged drastically, and in an instant, she became one with the sword, a killing intent surpassing the Late Stage Core Formation flooded heaven and earth, causing surrounding people to feel a sense of fear.

“Clang~” A metallic sound hadn’t reached everyone’s ears when the Middle Stage Core Formation cultivator standing in between already had his dantian shattered, plunging from high in the sky without even having time to self-destruct his dantian.

And the next moment, that startling move had already arrived before Situ Yan.

The speed was so fast it seemed to pierce through a spatial barrier.

“Boom~” Instantly, flames exploded, and the Mana Shield protecting Situ Yan shattered into countless sparks.

“City Lord!” The four guardians of the trade alliance instantly changed color.

But it was too late,

in the next moment, the avatar of Ye Jingyu transformed into that startling move had already pierced through Situ Yan.

The members of the trade alliance all froze abruptly.

However, Ye Jingyu, who came to a stop, frowned. Just that moment, he was confident he could break Situ Yan’s dantian with one sword.

But in the instant he passed through, he felt as if he had pierced a void!

Meanwhile, the few people from the trade alliance also paused slightly, where Situ Yan had just been, there wasn’t half a human shadow?

“Hahaha~ trying to kill me, wishful thinking!” At this moment, amidst the rolling flames, a sinister laugh resounded.

Soon after, the flames gradually contracted, merged, and eventually took on the appearance of Situ Yan.

“City Lord!” The guardians of the trade alliance let out a breath of relief.

“Fire Escape?” Ye Jingyu, with his magical power greatly consumed, floated in mid-air, squinting slightly.

“Hmph, as long as my Fire Spirit Body is at its peak, as long as the flames do not extinguish, I am immortal!” Situ Yan snorted coldly, similarly squinting to stare at Ye Jingyu.

On the surface, he seemed calm, but inside he was in great turmoil.

He, who had always considered himself a peerless prodigy, had just experienced the shadow of death.

Were it not for consuming the Source of his Spirit Body and using Fire Escape to avoid disaster at the critical moment, he would likely have had his dantian shattered, dying with his soul destroyed.

He never expected Ye Jingyu, at the Middle Stage of Core Formation, to have such might.

Even stronger by three points than Tuoba Sea, the fourth-ranked on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, whom he previously challenged.

Simultaneously, Yu Ziyu escaped the sea of flames, soaring to stand beside Ye Jingyu, yet she was completely unscathed.

“City Lord!” Two Late Stage Core Formation guardians of the trade alliance suddenly received Situ Yan’s message, using a first-grade spiritual treasure to break free from the attack of the Wuxiang Sect protector, rapidly returning to guard Situ Yan’s side.

It was evident that Situ Yan had consumed the Source to escape, and at this moment was like Ye Jingyu after using his ultimate technique, with his magical power disrupted, struggling to persist.

“Demon Sect dogs, don’t even think about running away!” The Wuxiang Sect protector quickly pursued.

Yu Ziyu, naturally, would not miss this opportunity. The first shot must be fired, this would give each hesitant sect and group a piece of reassurance, so she immediately wielded her natal spiritual treasure.

A Yuanzhi Mountain suddenly soared.

This was given by Purple Sky True Monarch to the Yu family’s ancestor upon marrying into the Thunder Flame Sect as a natal spiritual treasure gift. After nurturing for hundreds of years by the Yu family’s ancestor, it grew into a spiritual artifact, but when the Thunder Flame Sect was destroyed, it was shattered. Later, Yu Ziyu entered the Thunder Flame Sect’s underground vault and retrieved it a hundred years ago, repaired it, and refined it into her natal spiritual treasure.

Now it had already been promoted to the level of a lower-grade spiritual artifact.

Although it could not compare to the opponent’s first-grade spiritual treasure, it had the advantage of magnetic properties, having certain suppressive effects on various metal-element weapons.

“Boom~” Yuanzhi Mountain rapidly expanded in the wind, reaching dozens of meters, carrying immense pressure, aiming to smash down fiercely on Situ Yan and the others.

The magnetic energy contained within it caused the movements of the target three to sluggishly slow, they seemed to be sinking into a quagmire.

The two guardians had no choice but to unleash their magical power fiercely upward.

After all, as two Late Stage Core Formation experts, they withstood the pressure of Yuanzhi Mountain completely.

However, the Wuxiang Sect protector wasn’t idle, a cold light flashed in his eyes, a ring of complex runes flashed and disappeared in his hands, and a pair of giant earth-yellow hands appeared in the void, suddenly grabbing at the three below Yuanzhi Mountain.

“City Lord, watch out!” Feeling immense danger, one guardian of the trade alliance’s face drastically changed, palm pushing Situ Yan away.

“Boom~” The hands of earth closed instantly, crushing the two guardians tightly.

If not for the first-grade spiritual treasure countering, as they frantically surged magical power to defend against Yuanzhi Mountain, the protective shield would likely shatter instantly.

But even so, they wouldn’t last long.

Once these two perish, the trade alliance’s offensive will inevitably fail utterly.

Situ Yan soared a thousand meters away, looking at the state of his side, his expression was dejected.

Originally intended to redeem himself by meritorious deeds, if the first engagement ended in defeat, even if his father saved him, he would never have any chance to enter the upper echelons of the trade alliance.

“Damn it!” He roared through gritted teeth, preparing to flee.

And just at this moment, two figures approached rapidly from afar.

“Which one of you is City Lord Situ? I, old man, am here to help you!”

Situ Yan was overjoyed, urgently welcoming them.

While Yu Ziyu and others frowned slightly, Divine Sense swept around once more.

Now there was no sign of aid from the various sects and gates, but aid from the opposing side arrived indeed, leaving them feeling somewhat dispirited.

She could be certain that everything now was under the view of the major sect forces, yet they still haven’t taken action!

However, she glanced at the trade alliance’s two reinforcements. Both had the aura of Middle Stage Core Formation, facing the overwhelmingly one-sided situation at the moment, there wasn’t much pressure.

Yet, Master Han, who was manipulating three puppets in the field, suddenly changed color.

Because within the sensing of the annual rings, one of the people arriving had no life span left!
