Chapter 3764: Talismans Earn Merit

Those ferocious beasts, under Shi Qingfeng's command, roared and charged at Ye Liuyun.

After firing an arrow, Ye Liuyun ceased attacking and locked Shi Qingfeng with his Golden Pupil. Even if its speed were greater, it could not escape the Golden Pupil's capture.

"You go and eliminate those beasts; the Golden Roc is mine," Ye Liuyun also told Gu Changhong and Qian Meng to act without worry, and simultaneously gave them Transmission Voice, telling them not to use talismans for now.

For Gu Changhong and Qian Meng, a simple punch could easily finish those beasts, so there was no need to use talismans at all.

When Shi Qingfeng saw Gu Changhong and Qian Meng effortlessly smash a Cave Heaven Second/Third Level beast with a single punch, he naturally dared not approach the two; the only remaining target he could strike was Ye Liuyun.

After circling in the air for a while, it gave itself enough diving space and then launched an assault on Ye Liuyun.

At its speed, Wàn Xīnghǎi and the others could not even catch a glimpse of it. The Golden Roc proudly thought that even if Ye Liuyun spotted it, there would be no time to react. After all, its speed had been proven unmatched.

But it did not expect that a sky full of Spirit Stones awaited it, forming a net that enveloped it. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had preemptively gauged its attack speed.

Shi Qingfeng's speed was indeed fast, but it was a straight-line attack, so by calculating its speed and throwing a talisman before it reached, one could block it.

"Hm? Are you trying to bribe me with Spirit Stones?" Shi Qingfeng thought it was funny, and suddenly all the talismans exploded.

"This can stop me? Foolish humans!"

It still felt smug; the power of the exploding Spirit Stones, which even beasts of the Taixu realm feared, could not stop it.

But the next moment, it was as if something yanked it sharply, then a second and third pull, noticeably slowing its speed.

This was the effect of the immobilizing talismans. Its diving speed was too fast, its inertia too great, so the immobilizing talismans could not instantly halt it completely, resulting in this effect.

However, as more immobilizing talismans took effect, Shi Qingfeng finally realized the danger and hurriedly flapped his wings, trying to turn and flee.

But there were too many talismans around, and he was trapped in the center; running in any direction yielded the same result. Ye Liuyun, to deal with him, didn't mind wasting a few more talismans.

Moreover, its trait is that once it stops, it requires activation time and distance to regain speed. Now it struggled even to move, let alone fly away.

"What is this? How can Spirit Stones have this effect! I'm trapped!"

By the time it realized this, it was completely immobilized.

Ye Liuyun, holding the Demon Slaying Sword, used a Space Translocation to appear before Shi Qingfeng. It could even see Ye Liuyun's half‑smile and feel the killing intent emanating from him.

"You... actually this is all a misunderstanding..."

Shi Qingfeng panicked, hoping to buy more time with Ye Liuyun to secure a chance to escape. He still had a protective shield and golden wing feathers to use, or he could launch a Spiritual Soul Attack...

But now it could not move at all.

Ye Liuyun's Demon Slaying Sword also swung down, not giving it much time to panic.

Even though the golden‑winged great roc's physical body was robust, it was only at the Cave Heaven First Level, and in front of the Demon Slaying Sword it was insufficient; with a "swish" the sword sliced, the bird's head was cleanly cut off, and blood spurted out.

Ye Liuyun sheathed the sword and waited. When the talismans lost effect and the Golden Roc's corpse began to fall, he then pulled it into the Space World.

On the other side, the two Kuailei, Gu Changhong and Qian Meng, also with a few bangs smashed the last few beasts to death, then began clearing the battlefield, gathering the corpses and their Flying Boats.

"So easy!" Wàn Xīnghǎi was still a bit stunned.

Shi Qingfeng was his old rival; he could never get the upper hand— the opponent's ambushes were unavoidable, their escapes uncatchable, leaving him only to take the hits. Moreover

In fact, after the opponent broke through the Cave Heaven, he was even less of a match.

"Brother Ye, what are those Spirit Stones you threw? They're so effective against the golden roc, give me some!"

After recovering, Wàn Xīnghǎi directly asked Ye Liuyun for some.

"These are called talismans, a kind of miniature Formation I etched onto Spirit Stones. When the Spirit Stone explodes, the Formation activates. However, talismans last shorter and are weaker than Formations, but they have the advantage of surprise."

There are many kinds of talismans; the ones I just threw were spatial immobilizing talismans. To deal with this Golden Roc, a few aren't enough. Don't worry; when I have time, I'll make more for you.

Saying that, he also took out a Spirit Stone and tossed it toward Wàn Xīnghǎi, letting him experience it.

"Huh? I really can't move!" After being immobilized by the talisman, Wàn Xīnghǎi found its function even more astonishing.

Then Ye Liuyun casually tossed out two talismans imbued with fire and lightning attributes, letting everyone see the effect.

"Talismans work on low‑level cultivators, but have little effect on high‑level ones!" Ye Liuyun explained to them.

Yet just these few talismans already made them very envious.

"With this, won't we be invincible within our tier?" Xiāo Qíng mused.

"Is this hard to make? If mass‑equipped to an army, wouldn't Brother Ye's army become unbeatable?" Jīn Biāo thought further.

"Hehe, that can't be equipped; carving these talismans is even more laborious than carving Formations! Later I'll make some for you. First, let's go to the Dragon Clan; I'm worried these people are just delaying us."

Ye Liuyun didn't want to discuss further, so he immediately ordered Wàn Xīnghǎi to launch a Flying Boat, seizing the time to continue the journey.

"Even the Beast Clan knows I've come here; it seems the entire East knows as well. We must hurry to the Dragon Clan," Ye Liuyun told everyone, emphasizing the urgency.

But thereafter, they were repeatedly intercepted by beasts. Each beast was weak, and the Kuailei beside Ye Liuyun could easily handle them, yet it wasted time.

Wàn Xīnghǎi, also worried about Ye Liuyun encountering trouble on Dragon Clan territory, preemptively used a Transmission Talisman to contact the Dragon Clan, reporting the situation with the ancient dragon pearl and Ye Liuyun's involvement with the Dragon Clan.

In fact, the Dragon Clan Clan Chief Wàn Xiang had long received a notice from the Central Dynasty, ordering him to cooperate in killing Ye Liuyun. He assumed it was a conflict between the Central Dynasty and Ye Liuyun, and had no intention to get involved.

Upon learning that Ye Liuyun was bringing them the ancient dragon pearl and had the Dragon Clan within the Space World, they immediately dispatched a Dragon Clan Elder to receive them.

Regardless, Ye Liuyun acted for the Dragon Clan's benefit; he could not allow Ye Liuyun to cause trouble on their territory.

But before the Dragon Clan elder could arrive, Ye Liuyun and his group were blocked again, and it turned out to be the Golden Roc King himself who acted.
