Chapter 88: Golden Light Shield

Master Jin Guang stood in the middle of the arena with an arrogant look, with the Wild Wolf Gang members behind him.

Before appearing, he had already given his guarantee to Jia Jia Tianlong that he alone could solve all the people from the Seven Mysteries Sect participating in the duel. Of course, as a reward for his total coverage, the original promised five thousand taels of gold became eight thousand.

Thinking that he could get so much gold after the matter, Master Jin Guang felt a burning heat in his heart. He looked at the crowd opposite with contempt, already impatient to kill everyone opposite.

Han Li was not with Li Li Feiyu, but stood on the other side of the crowd.

Because Li Li Feiyu and Zhang Zhang Xiuer were together, talking intimately about lovers' whispers. Han Li naturally wouldn't be so tactless to disturb their two-person world.

"I don't know what this pair of lovers is thinking? Being able to talk about love in such a life-and-death occasion!" Han Li felt a few strands of sourness in his mouth.

After regaining his senses, Han Li, like everyone else, looked at the dwarf opposite strangely.

"The people of the Wild Wolf Gang are all hiding in the back, while letting such a vulgar dwarf lead the charge; this is too unbelievable! Could it be that this dwarf has some strange skills?" Han Li blinked, thinking this in his heart.

Sect Master Wang clearly had the same thought as Han Li. He didn't let everyone swarm up, but let a blade-wielding protector go out to meet this person, seemingly wanting to first test the other party's bottom line before making other plans, so as not to cause unexpected personnel losses.

Although it was a melee-style duel, if both sides only sent one person to fight, forming a one-on-one duel was also acceptable. Sect Master Wang thought so, and did so.

Master Jin Guang saw that there was only one person in the crowd opposite walking toward him, and understood the other party's intention.

He let out a strange laugh, and the broken gong-like voice made everyone who heard it feel uncomfortable.

This protector sent out was a sturdy man in his thirties, with a fierce look. The palm holding the blade had blue veins bulging high, and at a glance, he was a blade master good at close combat. He remained calm after hearing the strange laugh, clearly having rich experience in fighting.

Seeing the sturdy man approaching him, Master Jin Guang didn't panic. He took out a yellow talisman paper from his arms. This yellow talisman was flashing with gold, and it was actually covered with golden characters and patterns, which looked very valuable at a glance.

The dwarf ignored the approaching sturdy man, held the talisman paper with one hand, and started chanting incantations.

This protector of the Seven Mysteries Sect, although he didn't know what the other party was doing, had rich experience in fighting and knew that no matter what the dwarf was doing, it was best not to let the other party finish, otherwise it would definitely be unfavorable to him.

Thus, without thinking, he lunged forward, reached the front of Master Jin Guang in a few steps, raised the steel blade in his hand, and with a flash of cold light, slashed down at his head. The blade was swift and heavy, seemingly using all his strength.

Just as the blade edge was about to fall on Master Jin Guang's head, the incantation was completed. He suddenly slapped the talisman paper onto his body, and immediately, a dazzling golden light shone from where he slapped.

This blinding golden light made the sturdy man's eyes unable to see things clearly, but the sturdy man didn't panic in his heart, and the steel blade still slashed down fiercely.

"Clang," a sound of metal collision echoed through the arena.

The sturdy man felt a heat in his tiger's mouth, and the weapon in his hand almost flew out. He was startled. Although his eyes still couldn't see clearly, he knew the situation was bad. He tapped his toes on the ground, and his body retreated several feet in a flash before stopping, holding his blade in a defensive stance.

At this moment, he heard many people inside and outside the arena let out gasps of shock.

Hearing this sound, the sturdy man became even more anxious. He was eager to know what had happened to the other party, how it could be so strange. Fortunately, his eyes finally recovered to normal at this moment. He hurriedly looked intently.

He saw that a few feet away from him, the dwarf was standing motionless, but his whole body was emitting a layer of inch-long golden light. This golden light was like a thick armor, covering the dwarf inside, protecting him tightly. It seemed that the blade just now had only slashed on the golden shield and hadn't really cut the dwarf. He didn't know what this golden light was, but it was actually as solid as steel, making the blade work in vain.

Although this sturdy protector was knowledgeable, he was still stunned by this strange sight he had never heard of.

He held the steel blade, his heart blank, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

It wasn't just the sturdy man who was stunned; everyone on Sunset Peak was stunned.

One must know that very few people in the Jianghu knew about the rumors of cultivators, especially in such a remote small place, even fewer people knew. Therefore, most people felt mysterious about this talisman phenomenon, having a feeling of being unfathomable.

Just as Jia Jia Tianlong was secretly happy and the Seven Mysteries Sect side was looking at each other, Han Li, who was standing behind the crowd, was much more shocked than others.

Han Li was likely the only person on the entire mountain peak, besides the dwarf, who had some understanding of spells. It was obvious that the other party was using some kind of talisman similar to the Spirit-Fixing Talisman, and it seemed to be a more advanced one.

Han Li took advantage of others not paying attention, secretly chanted the incantation of the Heaven Eye Art, secretly cast the Heaven Eye Art on himself, and then hurriedly looked at the dwarf.

He saw that under the golden light, on the dwarf's body, there were some faint white lights floating. Compared with the golden light, this white light was too faint. If he hadn't deliberately looked for it, he probably wouldn't have noticed it for a while.

This dwarf was actually a cultivator with much lower magic power than Han Li. This discovery made Han Li both happy and worried.

What made him happy was that he, a beginner, had several times more magic power than the other party, which showed that this dwarf was also a half-baked cultivator. What worried him was that he didn't know how many spells the other party knew and whether the spells were powerful, and whether he could handle them.
