Han Li was extremely annoyed!

This was not because he was soft-hearted for a moment, saved Senior Martial Brother Wang, and was forced to use the Luo Smoke Steps to fight the demonic person, but because Liu Jing and the others did not seize the opportunity to first eliminate the other Blood Servants who were still in the middle of transformation. Net By the time those three also transformed, that would be the real big trouble.

Just now, he saw that Senior Martial Brother Wang was about to fall victim to the Ice Fiend's vicious attack, and considering the favor of him helping out in the battle against Daoist Qingwen, he flashed over and saved him.

Subsequently, this demonic person probably felt that Han Li had ruined his good deed, so he pestered him and attacked frequently, forcing him to deal with it. But then he also felt that this Ice Fiend was indeed very tricky for other fellow sect members, so it was better for him to solve it. After all, if more fellow sect members fell, there would really be a shortage of manpower for the subsequent battles.

Now he was pestering this demonic person, but he didn't expect that the others were just watching his fight and didn't take the opportunity to attack the other three light cocoons. Wasn't this wasting a great opportunity!

However, he also vaguely guessed that the others were probably not unaware of seizing the opportunity, but were afraid of the half-demonic transformation of the other Blood Servants because of the Ice Fiend's strange invisibility and the fact that someone had died at its hands. Therefore, although they knew that the fully transformed Blood Servants would definitely be even trickier, they were still hesitating, and perhaps even had a hint of wanting to retreat.

But Han Li did not come here just to eradicate the Black Fiend, but had another predetermined goal, so how could he easily retreat. Moreover, although this half-demonic Ice Fiend killed one of their side as soon as it broke out of the cocoon, it was actually nothing as long as one was careful. Even in Han Li's eyes, this one was not as difficult to deal with as that bald man from before.

This demonic person merely turned his body transparent, could move at high speed, and manipulate some cold energy. The so-called invisibility was also just an illusion of pure high-speed movement, just like his high-speed Luo Smoke Steps. It was just that because of the transparency and strangeness of his body, it was even harder to capture and detect.

But this kind of strange movement technique could only show its power on the ground. As long as everyone flew into the sky to open up the distance and unleashed large-scale spells, they could force him to appear. After all, the high-speed movement of the physical body could be ferocious at short distances, but it could not keep up with the flight of cultivators using magic treasures over long distances.

Liu Jing and the other fellow sect members had simply never experienced this kind of close-quarters melee, so they naturally felt that the opponent was extremely ghostly and fundamentally difficult to counter. But Han Li himself often used this method to fight, so he was naturally extremely experienced in dealing with it.

Thinking of this, Han Li suddenly waved his silver sword to repel the opponent's claws, suddenly revealed his figure, and said loudly:

"Senior Martial Brother Liu, you all fly to the sky quickly and continue to attack those three Blood Servants. I will not let the demonic person in front of me leave to harass you." After Han Li finished these words, his figure flashed suddenly and disappeared again, but in reality, the silver sword in his hand was so fast it was invisible, forcing the Ice Fiend to retreat repeatedly, with no chance to fly off the ground again.

The silver sword in Han Li's hand was the trophy from the Blood Trial, which could block the opponent's claws and remain intact. But at the same time, the silver sword could not hurt the opponent's pair of ice claws, which made Han Li secretly marvel.

When Liu Jing heard Han Li's words, he pondered for a moment and understood Han Li's intention, but he showed a look of hesitation. In his heart, he was extremely conflicted!

Although Liu Jing came from a major cultivation family, he had been abducted by evil cultivators when he was young, and had lived through a dark period of being tortured and abused, even almost losing his life. Later, he was finally rescued by his family and entered Li Li Huayuan's sect, achieving success in his cultivation.

But because of the shadow of his childhood, Liu Jing naturally hated evil cultivators extremely. He followed the iron-blooded principle of killing one whenever he saw one, not letting go of any evil cultivator he knew who practiced strange techniques.

The consequence of doing this, while making him feel very satisfied, also brought him huge positive reputation. Even some of the Seven Sects' cultivators whose cultivation was higher than his showed a hint of admiration when they saw him.

Liu Jing remained calm on the surface, but in his heart, he gradually became obsessed with this feeling of being respected by others.

So much so that later, when he actively eradicated evil cultivators everywhere, it was actually mostly to enjoy the admiration of others!

Of course, on the surface, Liu Jing was very careful to hide this mentality deep in his heart. In his dealings with others, he still seemed to be that righteous and iron-blooded "Senior Martial Brother Liu" who hated evil.

And the Black Fiend Sect in front of him was definitely the largest force he had ever encountered and the evil sect that should be eradicated the most. But at the same time, the opponent's strength was also the strongest evil cultivator force he had ever encountered. He really had no confidence that he could kill the remaining three Blood Servants by relying solely on ordinary magic treasures. A slightly weaker attack would only cause the remaining three to transform half-demonically in advance.

One half-demonic person was already so difficult to deal with; if the remaining three appeared, they would fundamentally be unable to cope and would very likely lose their lives here.

If they retreated now, their trip would be considered alerting the enemy, a complete failure. The Black Fiend Sect would definitely turn from the open to the dark and disappear again. This would cause the reputation he had accumulated over many years to be completely washed away.

Thinking of the mocking looks others would cast at him, Liu Jing felt that he couldn't breathe, feeling extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

Han Li's urging pushed him to the edge of a choice.

"Senior Martial Brother Liu, should we retreat first? The strength of this Black Fiend Sect is far beyond our expectations. If we don't leave now, it will be too late." Senior Martial Brother Wang, who had been saved by Han Li, leaned over hesitantly and whispered.

From the wavering eyes, Liu Jing clearly saw the look of cowardice.

"Retreat? After doing this, I'm afraid I will have the same image in the eyes of other fellow sect members in the future!" Liu Jing thought with a bitter smile.

"Everyone, fly to the sky and protect me. Leave the remaining three Blood Servants to me to deal with!" Liu Jing smiled calmly and said.

At the same time, he thought silently in his heart:

"It seems I have to use that thing! Only in this way can I succeed in one battle and keep my reputation from being damaged. Although that is my life-saving thing."

"Senior Martial Brother Liu, you want to deal with the remaining Blood Servants alone?"

Not only Senior Martial Brother Wang in front of him, but the others nearby also showed expressions of disbelief after hearing Liu Jing's words. This expression made Liu Jing feel very satisfied.

However, on the surface, he still acted as if nothing had happened, flying into the air without a word, and at the same time solemnly took out a fiery red jade box from his storage pouch.

At this moment, Liu Jing had completely returned to his usual calm and composed self, looking like he had everything under control. This gave the others some confidence after looking at each other, and they also flew into the sky.

Glancing at the jade box in his hand, a look of reluctance appeared on Liu Jing's face, but then his expression turned firm, and he suddenly slapped the box with both hands.

Immediately, the entire box shattered inch by inch, revealing a strange talisman wrapped in red light.

On the talisman, there was a fiery red firebird pattern. The firebird kept flapping its wings and flying back and forth in the middle of the talisman, actually able to move freely like a real bird, and even the bird's eyeballs emitted a faint blue light, turning from time to time.

What was even more horrifying was that as soon as this talisman appeared, scorching heat radiated out in circles, causing the temperature in the space of dozens of zhang nearby to rise suddenly, roasting the others until their mouths were extremely dry!

Song Meng and the others who had just approached happened to see this scene of the amazing talisman appearing.

"Talisman treasure!" Song Meng exclaimed as soon as he saw this object.

"No, this is not an ordinary talisman treasure, this... this is a True Treasure!" Senior Martial Brother Wang, who saw this talisman that looked like a talisman treasure but had great anomalies, exclaimed in shock as if he had seen a ghost.

Those who knew what a "True Treasure" was were also greatly shocked in their hearts after hearing this.

Although so-called "True Treasures" also belong to talisman treasures, they are very different from ordinary talisman treasures and have many distinct differences.

First of all, ordinary talisman treasures possess at most one-tenth of the power of the original magic treasure, which is considered top-tier. True Treasures, on the other hand, can defy the heavens by containing one-third of the power of the original magic treasure, which is fundamentally incomparable to ordinary talisman treasures.

Secondly, when a True Treasure is born, it must be refined through the bloodline method of the magic treasure's owner. Only descendants with specific bloodlines can drive and use these True Treasures; they are not things that anyone can use. Otherwise, as soon as spiritual energy is injected, these True Treasures will automatically be destroyed.

With these advantages, the flaws of True Treasures are naturally also very large; otherwise, what the ancestors left behind would all be such True Treasures.

The biggest flaw of True Treasures is that although they can contain several times the power of ordinary talisman treasures, they can only be used as one-time consumables. Once used, the power is fully unleashed on the spot, without any discount, and there is no chance for a second use. Therefore, their practicality is greatly reduced compared to ordinary talisman treasures.

But what truly restricts such True Treasures from being passed down is another extremely harsh condition.

Once a magic treasure is refined into a True Treasure through bloodline, the power lost by the magic treasure will be permanent and cannot be re-refined to make up for it. This makes some senior cultivators who know their time is running out unable to do this to the magic treasures they usually cherish like their lives, preferring to leave a few more talisman treasures for their descendants.

Therefore, some cultivators jokingly say that the number of True Treasures in the cultivation world is far rarer than the number of magic treasures.

This sentence, although somewhat exaggerated, is not far from the truth!
