273: Chapter 273: Fight against the Talisman!

The Talisman was about the size of a palm and dark gold throughout. On its surface was the design of a longbow, its string taut and an arrow already notched, looking so lifelike it seemed it could shoot out from the Talisman at any moment!

The moment the Talisman appeared, the surrounding Spiritual Qi suddenly became restless, retreating in all directions as if encountering something terrifying!

A heart-palpitating pressure permeated the air; it was a power belonging to a higher level!

Ye Changge's gaze narrowed. "Hmm? A talisman treasure?"

He stared at the dark gold Talisman, his brow furrowing slightly.

A talisman treasure was created by a Cultivator at the Core Formation Stage or higher, who sealed a portion of their Magic Treasure's power into a specially made Talisman for lower-level Cultivators to use. Although it only possessed one-tenth of the original Magic Treasure's power, for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it was already a trump card capable of changing the tide of battle!

It seemed this person truly had an extraordinary background, possessing even a talisman treasure!

He was either a Core Disciple of a major Sect or a direct descendant of a cultivation Family!

Thinking of this, the killing intent in Ye Changge's heart intensified.

This boy must not be left alive!

Below, within the Grand Array.

Lu Shiyin's heart also trembled slightly when she saw the Talisman Meng Zilang had produced.

A talisman treasure!

She had only seen records of such things in the ancient books of her Family library and had never seen one in person. That was a treasure that could only be refined when a Core Formation True Person sacrificed their own Magic Treasure!

Even with only a tenth of a Magic Treasure's power, it was definitely not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could withstand!

"Husband..."

She subconsciously gripped the Talisman in her hand, her beautiful eyes full of worry as she stared unblinkingly at the tall figure in mid-air.

Meng Zilang noticed the change in Ye Changge's expression and thought the other party was afraid.

A sinister smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and his tone was full of triumph:

"Hahaha! So you actually know this is a talisman treasure? Are you regretting it now? It's too late!"

Before his voice had even faded, he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the talisman treasure!

The moment the Essence Blood merged, the talisman treasure suddenly erupted with a blinding golden light!

The longbow design drawn on it seemed to come to life. Amidst the flowing golden light, it actually emerged from the Talisman, transforming into a massive golden bow over a person's height!

The body of the bow was golden throughout, carved with complex runes, and at each end was a golden divine eagle with wings spread as if to fly. The bowstring was refined from the sinew of an unknown Spirit Beast, shimmering with a silver-white luster. With a light pluck, a clanging sound echoed through the clouds!

This was the talisman treasure—the Golden Roc Sun-Chasing Bow!

Though it was only a tenth of the power of a true Magic Treasure, the pressure it radiated already made it difficult for low-level Cultivators within a radius of hundreds of feet to breathe!

Meng Zilang took a deep breath and gripped the bow with both hands. The spiritual power within his body surged out like a floodgate opening, frantically pouring into the bow!

His face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his aura quickly withered, but the killing intent in his eyes grew even more intense!

He slowly drew the bowstring back, and a golden light arrow condensed on the string, its tip aimed right at Ye Changge's heart!

The light arrow emitted a heart-palpitating sharp aura, as if it could pierce through even the sky!

"Go and die!"

Meng Zilang roared and suddenly released the bowstring!

Zheng—!

A clear, ringing sound of a bow filled the heavens and earth!

The golden light arrow turned into a streak of light, shooting towards Ye Changge at an incredible speed!

Wherever it passed, the air was torn in two, letting out a piercing screech! A deep furrow was plowed into the ground by the dissipating energy, with crushed stones flying and dust billowing!

The speed of the light arrow was too fast, so fast that even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Divine Sense could not capture it!

Within the Grand Array, Lu Shiyin's face turned deathly pale, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

However—

Looking at the golden light arrow shooting towards him, Ye Changge's expression remained calm.

The golden light arrow tore through the long sky, trailing a dazzling tail of fire, as it shot towards Ye Changge's heart at an incredible speed!

Wherever it passed, the air was torn in two, letting out a piercing screech! A deep furrow was plowed into the ground by the dissipating energy, with crushed stones flying and dust billowing!

The speed of that light arrow was too fast, so fast that even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Divine Sense could not capture it!

Within the Grand Array, seeing this scene, Lu Shiyin's face instantly turned as white as paper.

She subconsciously closed her eyes.

However—

Boom—!!!

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted!

Three feet in front of Ye Changge, the golden light arrow seemed to hit an invisible wall and exploded violently!

In an instant, golden light scattered everywhere, and spiritual energy surged wildly!

The violent shockwave of spiritual power spread in all directions like a tsunami, tearing the ground within a hundred-foot radius to pieces! Crushed stones, dust, and broken branches and leaves were swept high into the sky, blotting out the sun!

The aftershocks of the explosion struck the light shield of the Grand Array, triggering a series of intense ripples as the entire Grand Array trembled slightly!

Lu Shiyin, hidden within the Grand Array, could clearly feel that terrifying fluctuation of spiritual power even through the protection of the Formation.

That pressure was like a mountain collapsing or a raging ocean wave, as if it wanted to grind everything in the world into powder!

Her heart constricted fiercely. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the smoke-filled area, and her two delicate hands unconsciously gripped the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

"Husband..."

She murmured softly, her voice trembling.

---

Smoke billowed and dust filled the air.

Looking at the cloud of dust that refused to dissipate for a long time, a triumphant smile curled at the corner of Meng Zilang's mouth.

"Hahaha!"

He laughed out loud, his voice full of satisfaction and arrogance:

"Kid! Now you know the gap between us, don't you?!"

"The power of a talisman treasure is not something a wild Loose Cultivator like you can imagine!"

"To be able to die under the Golden Roc Sun-Chasing Bow is also your good fortune!"

He laughed until he was doubled over, feeling as though the foul air in his chest had finally been vented.

The frustration of being forced to flee in embarrassment by those black and white giant hands just now had all turned into pleasure.

However—

The next moment.

His laughter came to an abrupt halt.

---

The dust gradually cleared.

A tall figure still stood in the same spot.

His green robes flapped, and his sleeves fluttered.

Ye Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his expression as calm as water, as if the golden light arrow that was enough to kill any Foundation Establishment Cultivator just now was nothing more than a breeze brushing past his face.

The green robes on his body were untainted by a single speck of dust.

There wasn't even the slightest trace of damage on the corners of his clothes.

He just stood there with Yin-Yang Qi circulating around him, like a god of war descended from the heavens, majestic, solemn, and inviolable.

"How... how is that possible?!"

Meng Zilang's eyes went wide, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

He looked at the scene before him in disbelief, his lips trembling and his mind a complete blank.

A talisman treasure!

That was a talisman treasure!

Even though it only had a tenth of the power of a true Magic Treasure, it was definitely not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could withstand head-on!
