279: The power of the second-level talisman

The crisis in the separate courtyard was simpler than imagined. Zhou Luo was now at the Late Stage of the ninth layer of Qi Refining, only one minor Realm away from the opponent.

Therefore, facing Xu Tian's attack, he didn't even need to use any trump cards. Relying on a top-grade spiritual sword and the Five Elements Swordplay, he could contend with her.

The only thing that made Zhou Luo wary was the figure he saw when he entered the courtyard just now.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to think that figure was Yao Wu.

Moreover, being able to silently set up a top-grade concealing Array formation, there was at least one Upper Grade Array Formation Master present.

In a flash of lightning, Xu Tian had already attacked.

She was a Half-Step Foundation Establishment. At this moment, her spiritual energy erupted, golden light shone in the night sky, and an overwhelmingly fierce sword momentum surged towards him.

Zhou Luo made a steady move. The Sword of the North Wind (Suo Feng Sword) released fiery spiritual energy from its body, and a dazzling crimson spiritual light burst out, transforming into rolling flames.

Clang—

The two collided under the night sky. Beneath the Haoyue, two figures, one red and one gold, continuously attacked each other. From time to time, Sword Qi shot out in all directions, leaving deep sword marks on the ground and trees.

Xu Tian's beautiful eyes flickered. She hadn't expected the opponent's strength to be so formidable.

Most importantly, the golden treasure sword in his hand and the Cultivation Methods he released were all top-grade.

Was this guy really just a live-in son-in-law of the Lin Family?

Xu Tian's heart sank as she recalled the information her subordinates had investigated.

Initially, she thought she could easily handle the opponent, but now it seemed that was not the case.

He had been hiding his strength all along!

Understanding this, Xu Tian no longer held back. More dazzling golden light erupted from her body. With a flick of her wrist, a single sword thrust sparked points of golden light.

Wherever the golden light reached, it dotted the night sky, transforming into countless sharp blades that rushed out like a storm of pear blossoms.

Zhou Luo held his sword horizontally to block, and once again summoned a huge water curtain, blocking all the attacks.

Xu Tian abandoned her sword and rushed out. Dark green spiritual energy swirled in her fair and tender right hand. She extended her jade hand, and the spiritual energy transformed into a roaring giant beast that exploded in the air.

Around Zhou Luo, a gentle breeze surged, and his figure flashed. Wind Walk Without Trace was activated.

Relying on the speed of his movement technique, he quickly pulled away, and once again unleashed a scorching flame.

Xu Tian hadn't expected the opponent to be so cautious. He had already pulled away just as her attack was forming.

Could it be that he was also familiar with the Joyful Union Sect's attack methods?

Or did he know their Cultivation Methods?

Connecting this with the strength this guy displayed, Xu Tian suddenly thought of a terrifying truth.

"My Senior Brother's death is related to you?" she shrieked, throwing out a golden Talisman.

The Talisman bloomed with dazzling light in the sky, unleashing astonishing power.

Zhou Luo retreated to the side, looking coldly at the opponent.

He didn't choose to respond. Instead, he silently swung his sword. With the help of the Water Spirit Heart Method, the power of his Water Curtain Sky Bloom was unleashed to its extreme.

The enormous water curtain surged out like a mountain roar and a tsunami, actually enveloping the Talisman in a light blue spiritual light until its power completely dissipated.

Xu Tian's expression became even colder.

She hadn't expected this guy's Cultivation Methods to be so terrifying, it simply didn't seem like a Qi Refining Realm Cultivation Methods.

But if it was Foundation Establishment Realm, how could he activate it so easily?

She didn't know that the powerful strength Zhou Luo displayed was entirely dependent on the assistance of the Water Spirit Heart Method.

Whoosh—

Just as Zhou Luo was contending with her, another object shot out from the darkness.

That object was not a spiritual artifact, but rather some kind of living creature.

It was extremely fast, permeated with dense poisonous gas, and in the blink of an eye, it had rushed before Zhou Luo and then suddenly exploded.

After the self-detonation, green blood splattered everywhere, carrying strong corrosive ability, which was similar in effect to the Bone Erosion Powder from before.

A spiritual light flashed all over Zhou Luo's body, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

"Where is he?"

Xu Tian attacked, only to find that the opponent had disappeared so silently.

Just as she was about to release her spiritual sense to perceive, Zhou Luo's figure instantly appeared in a certain spot on the water below. He thrust out his sword, heading straight for her back.

Caught off guard, Xu Tian's face changed drastically, and she quickly turned around to block.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

At the same time, living creatures continuously attacked from the dark. Under the perception of his spiritual sense, Zhou Luo immediately saw that these were various Gu with potent poisons.

A Gu Master was lurking in the dark, watching him. This was likely why they targeted Zhu Quancheng.

Those Gu exploded one after another in the air, temporarily relieving Xu Tian's pressure and allowing her to react.

Looking at the figure under the moonlight, Xu Tian bit her lip tightly, took a spiritual pill, and then her spiritual energy surged. She also sacrificed a spiritual artifact.

It was an object in the shape of a paper umbrella, covered with dark red patterns. When it was activated, the umbrella body continuously rotated, and wisps of crimson power permeated out, even turning the sky quite red.

Top-grade spiritual artifact!

Feeling the power, Zhou Luo instantly recognized the origin of the opponent's spiritual artifact.

At this moment, that Gu Master also attacked from the dark. He controlled a dark green Gu the size of a fist, like a sharp blade, heading straight for his head.

In this situation, Zhou Luo decisively took out the Shocking Lei Talisman he had refined earlier.

Originally, he wanted to use Bai, but there were clearly others in the dark.

The Array Master who set up the concealing Array formation had not made a move all this time.

He had to ensure that no one could transmit information about tonight's events.

To force the opponent out, he could only sacrifice this item.

As soon as the Second Order Talisman appeared, the electric light that permeated out made both of them feel a chill in their hearts.

They looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw a trace of fear.

At this moment, Zhou Luo had resolutely activated this Talisman.

Rumble—

The Talisman shone, and Lei Ming and electric light emerged. The enormous electric arcs seemed to want to shatter the entire sky, carrying terrifying power.

However, because of the existence of the concealing Array formation, there seemed to be no movement outside.

"Quickly get inside the house."

In the darkness, that Array Master finally couldn't hold back and shouted.

Xu Tian and that Gu Master rushed towards the house without hesitation.

"Trying to run?"

Zhou Luo controlled the Talisman, smashing it directly towards the door of the house.

The terrifying lightning exploded, and boundless power heavily descended.

At this moment, light suddenly flickered around, and points of light condensed into a transparent light shield, blocking the lightning.

This was a top-grade defensive Array formation. The opponent had silently set up such an Array Formation while the three of them were fighting.

But Zhou Luo was calm and composed, completely ignoring that Array formation.

Under the Second Order Shocking Lei Talisman, this top-grade Array formation was not enough to watch.

Rumble—

Thunder roared, and several bolts of lightning struck the light shield, unleashing terrifying power.

That Array formation was like paper, instantly shattered, heading straight for the two people at the doorway.

Xu Tian and the black-robed Gu Master had to hastily meet the enemy, each unleashing their strongest techniques.

Bang bang bang—

Huge sounds shook the heavens and the earth. Those enormous electric arcs were like white giant snakes, carrying unimaginable power.

When the Talisman's power approached, two figures in a sorry state appeared on the charred ground.
