Chapter 261: Talisman Cultivator Wang Zhun (Please Subscribe)

For Du En, the situation was sudden and difficult to discern for the moment.

However, one point was clear and unmistakable.

Kill!

He was located within a sealed space, casually putting away his recent harvest, watching those two people slowly approach, not yet having noticed the abnormality here.

Silently eyeing the appropriate moment, and then.

Hundred-Control Enemy Attack!

This space was not specifically sealing him, so his attacks could naturally cross the boundary and emerge.

Caught off guard, An Yan and Wang Zhun faced the hundred magical artifacts swimming and flying out like a school of piranhas; subconsciously, they flew and darted out toward the left and right sides respectively, highlighting their superficial harmony but inner discord.

By the time they realized Du En's target was precisely to separate them, it was already too late!

—Chased by the diverted magical artifacts, the two arrived in the sealed, cleared area and saw Du En's figure here; just as they suddenly stopped, forest trees suddenly sprouted on An Yan's side, tree by tree, cluster by cluster, growing into a small forest in the blink of an eye.

It was precisely the "Small Success" stage of the Wood-Birth Art!

At the same time, amidst a rumbling sound, without giving An Yan a chance to break the imprisonment and separation, five mud-and-stone statues had already crawled out and began to besiege and entangle this white-skirted female cultivator, causing her beautiful face to be filled with frost as she repeatedly cast techniques to cope.

Du En temporarily trapped her and then closed in on Wang Zhun, intending to first kill this enemy who was also at the Golden Core mid-stage and clearly the weaker of the two.

"Planning to finish me off quickly?"

Wang Zhun immediately saw through Du En's intention, his expression involuntarily sinking and appearing more composed; his dharma power vibrated, but it was merely a facade, and facing the concentrated Hundred-Control artifact group and the rising wind and sand, he did not release any spells.

He took out a talisman.

On that clear yellow spirit paper, profound patterns were scribbled in a wild, cursive hand, possessing a very personal style and appearing quite extraordinary; the moment it was taken out, it resonated with the surrounding spiritual Qi.

"Duo!"

With a cold snort, the talisman was flicked out and immediately burst into flames, acting like a sea-eye void, wantonly swallowing the surrounding spiritual Qi and bringing about a violent, abrupt flow of spiritual Qi, attempting to stir up the artifact group and make them collide and damage each other!

Although Du En's control prevented the malicious intent from succeeding, it was a temporary stalemate, with the artifacts shaking and buzzing in the air, finding it difficult to press forward.

Spirit-Devouring Talisman?

Du En was secretly vigilant, feeling that it was not that simple.

Sure enough, as expected, Wang Zhun saw the artifact group was temporarily trapped, so he looked over, and with a great flick of his sleeves, a thousand talismans painted with various runes were swished out, rushing over like another school of fish.

Wherever they passed, the spiritual Qi was torn and swallowed, thereby evolving into various familiar "High-Grade" spells; they were clearly not common goods from the market, and they were about to directly drown Du En with sheer volume!

Yet regarding this situation, he did not even use the self-destruction of his magical artifacts; he simply let the wind and sand blow more fiercely, directly rushing and pressing forward to drown these talisman spells.

Pfft~

There was no movement.

"Hmm?"

Wang Zhun immediately realized something was wrong, because even though the spells condensed from his talismans were only at the "Familiar" stage and clearly inferior to "Small Success," they were numerous enough to overwhelm anyone; it was impossible for them to be directly drowned without even making a splash!

There must be a problem!

He immediately raised a finger and wiped his eyes.

But just as he did so, Du En manipulated a magical artifact to self-destruct, violently interrupting the Spirit-Devouring turbulence, causing the artifact group to suddenly break free and charge with accumulated momentum, directly drowning him.

But Wang Zhun did not die; he quietly appeared on the other side.

Substitute-Death Jade Talisman?

Du En's divine sense saw only some jade fragments falling under the biting of his magical artifacts, and he thought of this rare and precious type of talisman.

With a Golden Core mid-stage cultivation, one needed a Third-Grade peak-tier one to be effective!

Quite decisive!

Wang Zhun felt a sharp pain in his heart; he had not expected that the opponent's Hundred-Control Art could actually break free from the influence of the Spirit-Devouring turbulence in this way, but his own spell had already taken the opportunity to be cast.

Clear-Vision Spirit Pupil, activate!

Spirit light emerged in the depths of his eyes, clarifying his entire field of vision, and he immediately saw the ice-wrapped wooden stakes mixed into the wind and sand that were turning around to continue covering him.

What an insidious person!

Wang Zhun's face twitched, but he had to admit that Du En actually had some real skills!

Even with these hidden little wooden stakes, one would need to accurately pierce the key points before those talismans bloomed, and only then could their power be significantly reduced, causing those thousand talismans to fail to make even a single splash!

"However, I am not someone to be bullied either!"

Seeing that conventional means were completely useless and would only lead to being quickly broken and defeated, Wang Zhun's pupils immediately brightened, his dharma power surged and erupted, and his true top-tier strength was no longer concealed.

He was a Talisman Cultivator!

In order to close the gap with the senior brothers and sisters ahead while catching up from behind, he had chosen the Talisman Dao!

The essence of this Dao was to borrow spirit—borrowing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, borrowing the spiritual charm of heaven and earth, and borrowing the spiritual veins of heaven and earth for one's own use, thereby unleashing surging killing power!

Of course, Wang Zhun's attainments had only reached the stage of borrowing spiritual Qi.

At this moment, he no longer concealed it, directly using his finger as a pen and spirit as ink, drawing talismans in the void.

A fire pattern was drawn.

Boom!

Spiritual Qi was swallowed like a whale, and upon contact, it transformed into a surging sea of fire, directly covering all directions, first blocking the magical artifacts, then resisting the wind and sand, and even the insidious wooden stakes were burned and melted away.

However, as the spiritual Qi within the area was exhausted, this spiritual Qi fire talisman quickly lost its follow-up power.

Wang Zhun moved his feet.

Talisman Spirit Step!

A "High-Grade" talisman art that allows for shifting and moving through pointing at talismans from a distance, as if moving through space!

Ordinary cultivators suddenly facing this move would basically find it difficult to immediately perceive the key, then have their rhythm stolen in the haste, and be drowned by a combo of talisman arts, dying on the spot!

However, Du En immediately captured his landing point, the artifact group suddenly turned and headed back, and at the same time, new wind and sand blew over to cover him.

Wang Zhun, who had just finished shifting using the talisman art, had not yet had time to do anything when he looked up and saw the artifact-laden wind and sand attacking, gritted his molars, and in his helplessness, could only deal with it first.

Draw a water pattern, or even squeeze out mana to add a few extra strokes.

Heavy Water!

Splash!

Pitch-black Heavy Water surged out of thin air, covering the group of magical artifacts, instantly burdening them with the weight of a thousand jun, causing them to plummet one after another; Du En had no choice but to reduce the quantity by half, so that the remaining half could maintain its original speed and precision.

The main issue was that it was hard to detonate them directly, because Wang Zhun was clearly hitting and running.

Just like that, Du En immediately shifted his gaze to another spot, only to see the person teleport and appear there again, starting to paint new talisman patterns.

And so, this side arrived first despite starting later.

Golden Flame Art!

Whoosh!

Brilliant golden flames burned directly onto the talisman pattern; Wang Zhun's fingers caught fire, forcing him to hastily activate the talisman, and as a result, it burned along with the spiritual energy!
