71: Chapter 71: The Power of the Jade Talisman

Liu Shan's Aura climbed to the peak, and he no longer looked like a human.

The black veil on his face had long been corroded away by the violent power of blood and Qi, revealing a hideous and terrifying face.

Blue veins bulged on his face, his blood vessels stood out, a faint red light flowed beneath his skin, and his eyes were completely bloodred, like an evil ghost crawling out of Hell.

"Hahahaha!" He laughed wildly, his voice becoming hoarse and harsh, "Peak Foundation Establishment! This is the power of Peak Foundation Establishment!"

An Aura like heavenly might swept across the entire underground space, and those prisoners who were still screaming in the cells were directly knocked unconscious by more than half when hit by this Aura.

The four people of the Tianjian Sect turned pale.

Xiao Yuan felt his heart crawl, and quietly moved his steps backward.

Although the earth-grade foundation establishment pill formula was a good thing, one had to have the life to take it.

In the current situation, running away was probably the best policy!

At that exact moment!

"Buy me time!"

That Middle Stage Foundation Establishment male cultivator of the Tianjian Sect suddenly let out a loud shout, flipped his right hand, and revealed a jade Talisman.

That jade Talisman looked completely unremarkable, the size of a palm, pearly white throughout, with complex patterns engraved on its surface.

But when he poured spiritual power into it!

Hum!

A terrifying Aura suddenly erupted!

The strength of that Aura was even stronger than Liu Shan at this moment!

Xiao Yuan's pupils constricted.

A jade talisman treasure?!

He had seen this thing!

Su Ruotong's piece was this exact one!

At that time, Chen Yin and Zhao Mingfang fought over it until their heads bled!

This was refined by a Golden Core powerhouse using the spiritual power intercepted from his own Lifebound Treasure.

With a single strike, its power was comparable to a Golden Core!

The male cultivator's face flushed red, and his spiritual power frantically surged into the jade talisman treasure.

The patterns on the surface of the jade Talisman lit up one after another, and the Aura it emitted grew stronger and stronger.

"Stop him!" He roared through gritted teeth, "Give me ten breaths!"

Liu Shan's expression changed drastically.

He also recognized the jade talisman treasure!

If this thing was successfully activated, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it!

At this time, his secret technique had already been completed.

"Die!"

His figure flashed, and he lunged directly at that male cultivator!

The speed was so fast that only a bloody shadow remained!

"Not a chance!"

The Middle Stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator of the Tianjian Sect rushed up first, thrusting a sword at Liu Shan!

Liu Shan didn't even look, slapping out with a palm!

Boom!

The female cultivator, along with her sword, was blasted flying, slammed into the stone wall, spewed a large mouthful of fresh blood, and slid down limply.

"Senior Sister!"

The Early Stage Foundation Establishment male cultivator's eyes turned red, and he also rushed forward.

With the same palm strike, he was similarly blasted flying!

Another Early Stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator also fought for her life, her sword light like a rainbow, piercing straight at Liu Shan's back.

Liu Shan turned around and threw a punch, directly snapping her sword into two halves.

The fist wind brushed her chest, sending her flying backwards and collapsing a stone pillar.

Three moves, three people heavily injured!

"Six breaths left!"

The male cultivator roared, and the patterns on the jade Talisman had already lit up for the most part.

With bloodred eyes, Liu Shan lunged at the male cultivator again!

Seeing that he was about to rush to the other party's presence.

At that moment, a cyan stream of light flashed, and Xiao Yuan appeared in front of Liu Shan, thrusting his sword at Liu Shan's eyes!

Liu Shan tilted his head to dodge, counterattacking with a palm, the palm wind roaring!

Xiao Yuan had anticipated this long ago, unfolding the Gale Shadow-Chasing Movement Technique, his entire body sliding away like a loach, narrowly dodging this palm.

However, as the palm wind swept past, it still made his chest feel stuffy and his blood and Qi surge.

Although he wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, he also knew that even if he slipped away, it would probably be useless.

Who knew what the situation was outside? Once blocked, by the time Liu Shan solved these people and came after him, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

"Damn it, Peak Foundation Establishment is truly perverted!"

He cursed inwardly and lunged forward again.

At this time, he could only fight for his life.

But he wouldn't foolishly go head-to-head; he only needed to entangle him!

To buy time for that male cultivator.

Pushing the Gale Shadow-Chasing Movement Technique to its limit, Xiao Yuan turned into a cyan stream of light, flying up and down around Liu Shan.

Between the spitting and swallowing of the sword radiance, he specifically greeted vital spots—the eyes, throat, and groin, coming however sinisterly he could.

Liu Shan was so angry that he howled: "Little bastard! Scram!"

He slapped out palm after palm, the palm wind like thunder, yet it always missed by a hair's breadth.

Xiao Yuan was like a slippery loach, unable to be hit or caught, yet he was occasionally stabbed with a sword; although he wasn't heavily injured, it was annoying to death.

"Three breaths!"

The male cultivator's voice came, and the patterns on the jade Talisman had already lit up by ninety percent.

Liu Shan became anxious!

He roared angrily, the blood mist around his body exploding, turning into countless blood-colored tentacles that swept in all directions!

Xiao Yuan failed to dodge in time, was hit on the shoulder by a tentacle, and was whipped flying, slamming into the stone wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Die!"

Liu Shan seized the opportunity to lunge at the male cultivator, slamming down a palm!

"Two breaths!"

Right at that moment—

Three figures rushed over from different directions!

It was those three heavily injured Tianjian Sect Disciples!

They were covered in blood and had pale faces, yet they gritted their teeth tightly, exhausting all their strength to unleash their final strike!

Sword light, Spells, and Talismans all blasted onto Liu Shan's body!

Although it couldn't injure him, it successfully made him pause for a moment!

"One breath!"

The male cultivator suddenly opened his eyes!

The jade Talisman lit up completely!

A huge golden sword image rushed out from the jade Talisman, suspended above his head, radiating a terrifying Aura that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth!

"Get out of the way!"

He shouted furiously!

Xiao Yuan and the three heavily injured Disciples rolled outward desperately!

The golden sword image violently slashed down!

Liu Shan's pupils shrank abruptly, exhausting all his strength to prop up a blood-colored light barrier!

"No—!"

Boom—!!!

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the golden sword image slashed onto the blood-colored light barrier!

The light barrier trembled violently, holding out for less than a breath before shattering with a bang!

The golden sword image slashed down without any obstruction!

Liu Shan's body was split into two halves from the top of his head to the soles of his feet by a single sword!

Then—

Boom!

The two halves of his body exploded simultaneously, turning into a sky full of blood mist!

Peak Foundation Establishment turned to ashes and smoke!

The entire underground space was trembling, and gravel fell rustlingly.

Xiao Yuan lay on the ground, half of his body buried by the dust kicked up by the shockwave, his ears ringing.

Yet in his heart, he felt a wave of shock; as expected of a treasure that Chen Yin and Zhao Mingfang, and even Chen Yin's grandfather and Zhao Tianlei wanted to fight for.

Its power was actually terrifying to this extent!

Even if he had Formation trump cards in his hands, if he encountered an Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator possessing a jade talisman treasure, he would likely die at the other party's hands.

At this moment, his entire person maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Although he fought alongside the four people and could be considered comrades-in-arms, who knew if the other party would take the opportunity to attack him?

However, given the Tianjian Sect's style, they shouldn't stoop to burning bridges like this.

Yet, one cannot lower their guard against others.

Fortunately, after the single strike, the already heavily injured Tianjian Sect male cultivator seemed to have exhausted his spiritual power.

That golden sword image had already dissipated.

That Tianjian Sect male cultivator stood in place, his face as pale as paper, teetering on the verge of collapse.

The jade Talisman in his hand had dimmed a lot, and several tiny cracks even appeared on its surface.

"Senior Brother!"

The three heavily injured Disciples struggled to climb up and rushed over to support him.

"I... I'm fine..."

The male cultivator waved his hand weakly, looking at the spot where Liu Shan disappeared, a flash of relief crossing his eyes, "Finally... dead..."

At this time, Xiao Yuan crawled out from the pile of dirt and patted the dust off his body.

Taking advantage of the fact that the few people's attention was not on Liu Shan's side, it was time for him to scavenge.

He walked to the spot where Liu Shan was cleaved and annihilated; on the ground, there was only a pool of charred black marks left, and... a Storage Pouch!

Undamaged!

Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up.

He squatted down nonchalantly, pretending to inspect the ground, and with a stretch of his hand, he stowed the Storage Pouch into the Creation Cauldron Space.

The Great Turtle Breathing Technique operated at full force, not leaking even a trace of Aura.

"Are you alright?"

The Middle Stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator walked over, looking at Xiao Yuan with gratitude in her eyes, "Thanks to you just now."
