Chapter 15: Sacrificial Thunder Talisman Defies Heaven to Change Fate!

Heipao Jia stepped back one step.

He and Wang Shan opened a little distance between them.

This action itself showed determination.

His movements looked displeased, yet carried a heavy sense of ritual.

The token's runes looked like many struggling wronged souls forcibly sealed upon it.

Just a glance made one's heart panic and ears seem to hear an inaudible scream.

As this chilling yin aura emerged, the temperature of the Wang family courtyard seemed to drop several degrees.

Even the air became somewhat sticky, carrying a nauseating rotten smell.

"Not good!"

Wang Shan had experienced much; although he had never seen this thing before, the ominous and dangerous aura emitted by the token made all his hairs stand up instantly!

Alarms rang nonstop in his heart.

A sense of crisis he had never felt before enveloped him entirely.

This must be the opponent's hidden trump card!

We can't wait any longer!

If we delay any further, we might not even get a chance to use our trump card!

At that moment, Wang Shan's gaze became especially sharp.

A flash of ruthlessness and resolve crossed his aged face.

He almost relied on instinct, his mind racing, and made a judgment instantly.

We can't hold back any longer!

He immediately contacted the Spirit Plant System in his mind.

"System! Exchange for 【Sharp Gold Talisman】!"

His thought just moved; he prepared to spend the points he had saved plus the recently gathered 【Spirit Blood Branch】 to replenish, totaling about fifteen hundred 【Spirit Plant Points】, to first exchange for an attack talisman.

After all, what he currently lacks most is an attack capable of injuring a Body Refining eighth-layer cultivator.

【Sharp Gold Talisman】, costs 1500 【Spirit Plant Points】.

The description says it contains extremely strong sharp metal qi, capable of cutting metal and jade.

This is already the most powerful single-target attack talisman Wang Shan can afford.

But at the moment he was about to confirm the exchange, Wang Shan's gaze swept over the system mall and saw a more expensive, brighter option beneath the 【Sharp Gold Talisman】.

He suddenly stopped!

【Thunder Talisman】!

Price: 2500 【Spirit Plant Points】!

Introduction: It draws a thread of heavenly thunder's power, forged into a talisman, with great power, able to dispel evil, suppress demons, and has an innate restraining effect against yin evil ghosts and monsters!

It restrains yin evil ghosts and monsters!

Wang Shan's pupils contracted instantly!

He stared fixedly at the black token in Heipao Jia's hand, exuding thick chilling yin aura!

His intuition told him that the power activated by that token was definitely of the yin-evil type!

Although the 【Sharp Gold Talisman】 is powerful, it may not effectively counter the opponent's strange move.

Moreover, the opponent is two people working together, and one is a peak Body Refining eighth-layer cultivator!

Once the 【Sharp Gold Talisman】 fails, or its power isn't enough to instantly turn the tide, then he truly has no chance left!

Gamble!

We can only gamble big!

Wang Shan instantly made a decision in his heart; his target was that 【Thunder Talisman】!

But the 【Spirit Plant Points】 are insufficient!

He now has only over a thousand 【Spirit Plant Points】, still far from the 2500 needed!

Time is too tight, leaving no room for further thought!

"System! Immediately give me 【Batch Ripening】! All spirit fields! All spirit plants!"

Wang Shan almost roared as he issued the command.

His consciousness instantly sank into that fertile spirit field space that had been transformed by the 【Jade Spirit Liquid】.

As soon as the thought arrived, the numbers of 【Spirit Plant Points】 on the 【Spirit Plant System】 panel began to jump wildly!

The Spirit Blood Branch, Clear Heart Grass, Condense Spirit Flower, etc., which had just been planted not long ago and were still mere seedlings...

Under the powerful effect of the Batch Ripening function, they began to grow at a speed visible to the eye!

Sprouting, growing leaves, flowering, bearing fruit...

This process was extremely compressed into a brief instant!

At the same time, Wang Shan's Spirit Plant Points were being consumed rapidly.

But as each spirit plant was counted as mature, new Spirit Plant Points flowed in like a small stream.

The numbers were decreasing, yet simultaneously rising slowly but steadily!

1600…1750…1900…

Still not enough! Still far short!

In that extremely short time while Wang Shan frantically ripened spirit plants and accumulated points, outside Heipao Jia had already prepared!

He was muttering something under his breath.

His withered finger traced a strange trajectory across the black token.

His Spiritual Power surged into the token like a flood bursting through a gate!

"Woo—!"

A mournful wail, like it came from the deepest depths of hell, rang out!

That Black Token suddenly burst forth with black qi as thick as ink!

Dark winds blew wildly, ghostly shadows layered thickly!

These black qi quickly gathered together, twisting and deforming in midair!

Finally, it turned into a huge, terrifying black ghost claw!

This ghost claw was entirely formed from yin demon qi!

Its five fingers were hooked like claws, its nails flashing a cold, eerie green light.

Its surface was covered with agonized, twisted human faces, exuding an evil aura that made souls tremble!

"Kekeke… Break it for me!"

Heipao Jia let out a harsh, grating laugh.

He swung his arm forward violently!

That huge black ghost claw, carrying a piercing screech that tore the air, swept up the dark winds of the sky and fiercely grabbed at the already cracked, near‑collapsing Misty Spirit Gathering Array's shield!

At the brink of disaster!

"Crack—!"

Like the sound of rotting wood snapping!

The already near‑limit Array's shield was as fragile as paper before this ghost claw filled with terrifying yin‑evil power!

With a sharp cracking sound, the shield was instantly torn open a huge gap!

That gap kept rapidly widening!

Terrifying cracks spread across the shield like a spiderweb!

A violent surge of cold yin energy found an outlet!

They surged madly into the Array through the breach!

Instantly, the temperature in the Wang Family Courtyard plunged to extreme cold, as if falling into an ice cave!

The four Wang Zhize brothers hiding in the dark felt a chill run through their bodies!

Wang Shan in the courtyard also felt a bone‑piercing chill, his blood almost freezing!

The shield… shattered!

Heipao Jia and Heipao Yi saw this and instantly wore triumphant, ferocious smiles!

They could already see the old geezer behind the Array!

His face was deathly pale, his body swaying, barely able to stay upright!

If that ghost claw just pushes forward a little more…

the entire Array will collapse completely!

By then, everyone of the Wang Family will be meat on their chopping block, to be slaughtered however they wish!

They had even made preparations.

They were just waiting for the ghost claw to break through the defense, then they'd rush in for a bloody slaughter!

But, at this most critical moment!

Just as that terrifying ghost claw was about to crush the last glimmer of the Array's light!

Heipao Jia and Heipao Yi thought success was imminent!

In Wang Shan's mind, the numbers on the Spirit Plant System panel finally crept past that crucial figure!

2517 points!

Enough!

"System! Switch to the Thunder Talisman now!"

Wang Shan shouted in his heart.

He had almost exhausted all his strength.

This was his trump card!

Hum!

The Spirit Plant Points dropped by 2500 in an instant!

A talisman flashing with piercing purple lightning appeared out of thin air in Wang Shan's blood‑ and mud‑stained hand.

This talisman emanated a mighty aura of heavenly authority!

As soon as the talisman appeared, the surging cold yin energy around it seemed to encounter something frightening.

They emitted a sizzling sound and automatically retreated!

"Hahaha! Wan family scoundrels! Dream on if you think you can wipe out our Wang Family!"

Wang Shan's eyes shot out a terrifying light.

He showed no sign of barely holding on anymore!

He endured intense pain and weakness throughout his body.

He poured almost all of his remaining Spiritual Power into the Thunder Talisman in his hand, holding nothing back!

The purple lightning on the talisman instantly became more intense and blazing!

"Die, all of you!"

Wang Shan let out a mighty roar, his voice full of fury and desperate resolve.

He violently hurled the Thunder Talisman in his hand at the huge ghost claw about to fall!

【Thunder Talisman】 as soon as it left the hand.

It instantly turned into an especially thick bolt of purple lightning!

This bolt of lightning was too bright!

It lit up the entire dim sky!

It carried the momentum to destroy everything, its speed indescribably fast.

It tore through the air and directly struck that black ghost claw!

Fast! It was really too fast!

Heipao Jia and Heipao Yi's ferocious smiles on their faces had not yet fully faded.

Their eyes already reflected that dazzling purple lightning!

The next moment!

Boom—crack!

A tremendous thunderclap exploded above the Wang Family courtyard.

This sound shook people's ears to the point of deafness!

The purple lightning and the black ghost claw collided heavily!

The power of the lightning carried mighty heavenly authority.

It was inherently meant to restrain all dark and evil things!

That terrifying-looking black ghost claw, before the violent purple lightning, was like ice and snow under the sun!

Only a sharp, piercing strange cry was heard.

The black ghost claw was instantly pierced, torn apart, and vanished by the lightning!

The thick black energy forming the ghost claw, under the lightning's purification, emitted a 'hiss-hiss' sound.

They dispersed like green smoke!

Just once! It only took one use!

Heipao Jia's trump card required great effort and a lot of Spiritual Power to unleash.

It was completely destroyed by this suddenly appearing Thunder Talisman!

But this wasn't over yet!

After the violent purple lightning shattered the ghost claw, its power was not yet fully spent!

The remaining lightning, still carrying terrifying power, surged down like a flood.

They instantly engulfed the two Heipao Jia and Heipao Yi below, who had not reacted and were completely dumbfounded!

Ah—!

No—!

Two miserable cries rang out at once.

The cries were shrill to the extreme, filled with pain, fear, and disbelief!
