Chapter 166: Meritorious Service

Seeing that they had finally managed to suppress Lu Yuanfeng and the other, and another helper had come to support, the red-clothed man had to temporarily give up the attack and turn to defense, and the two sides were deadlocked again.

As soon as Ye Tan left, before Song Qingming could make a move, Han Tongshan, who was hiding in the black mist of the Soul-Gathering Banner, quickly reacted, directly transforming the black mist in the Soul-Gathering Banner into several black tigers and rushing toward Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Qingming remained calm and smiled lightly. He took out a top-tier Demon-Repelling Lightning Talisman and threw it at the several masses of black mist rushing over. With several flashes of green lightning, the wronged souls in these black mists were instantly exterminated completely.

The magic tool, the Soul-Gathering Banner, mainly relied on the many wronged souls of living beings collected inside to launch attacks. These soul bodies were not real living things, and it was very difficult to be effective against them using ordinary means. This was also the powerful aspect of this magic tool.

After dealing with Yang Wuqi and this group of demonic cultivators a few times, Song Qingming already knew most of their methods. During the few days he returned to Qinghefang, he also spent a lot of time preparing for the upcoming battle. Just this kind of Demon-Repelling Lightning Talisman, he had prepared more than a dozen on his body, which was enough to deal with the Soul-Gathering Banner in Han Tongshan's hand.

"Damn it, you actually dare to damage my magic tool."

Seeing that dozens of wronged souls detained in his magic tool were lost at once, Han Tongshan instantly felt that something was wrong and hurriedly put away the Soul-Gathering Banner. There were only a few hundred wronged souls refined in this banner in total. Losing dozens at once had already caused quite a bit of damage to this magic tool. If this happened a few more times, this magic tool would basically become a useless object.

After putting away the Soul-Gathering Banner, Han Tongshan gritted his teeth and took out a big hammer made of white bone, smashing it directly at Song Qingming in close quarters.

Compared to the Soul-Gathering Banner, although the power of this magic tool was much smaller, Song Qingming did not take it lightly. After dodging this attack sideways, he retreated several zhang away and took out the Jin Guang Mirror again, shooting a golden light at Han Tongshan, forcing him back several zhang again, and the two sides restored the standing position before the battle just now.

Seeing that Song Qingming intended to keep his distance from him, Han Tongshan felt suspicious in his heart. After dodging several attacks from the Jin Guang Mirror, he quietly took out a Wind-Speed Talisman from his body, stuck it on his leg, and then took advantage of the gap in Song Qingming's Jin Guang Mirror attack to instantly accelerate and rush toward him like a gust of wind.

Seeing that Han Tongshan's body speed suddenly increased by a factor of one, Song Qingming was also very surprised. Seeing that the bone hammer in his hand was about to fall on him, Song Qingming wanted to dodge but found it was already too late, so he could only stand blankly on the spot.

"Haha! Kid, there's nowhere to hide this time!"

Just when Han Tongshan thought he was about to succeed, a spiritual light appeared in front of Song Qingming, and a giant bear puppet beast more than a person tall appeared, directly taking the bone hammer smashed down by Han Tongshan.

Only hearing a "crack" sound, one of the giant bear puppet beast's arms was broken by Han Tongshan's bone hammer. Afterward, Song Qingming hurriedly retreated several zhang away again, opening the distance between the two again.

Fortunately, one of Han Tongshan's hands was already injured, and he didn't exert ten percent of his strength just now, otherwise, his puppet beast would have been smashed to pieces by him.

Seeing that the giant bear puppet beast had been crippled and temporarily lost its function, Song Qingming had no choice but to put it into his storage bag.

Compared to the small skirmish on Song Qingming's side, the movements of the other two battles were much larger. Especially Chen Xuanxin and Yang Wuqi, the aftermath of their magic fighting, if encountered by ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, would likely cause them to be seriously injured and unable to get up immediately.

"It's true, this kid is just like me, someone who has just reached Foundation Establishment. The only second-tier spirit item on his body is that Jin Guang Mirror. No wonder he didn't dare to attack me at close range before."

Confirming that Song Qingming really didn't have any other offensive methods besides the Jin Guang Mirror, Han Tongshan steeled his heart and directly took a blood-colored spirit pill. Only to see a burst of blood mist suddenly rise from his entire body, and his momentum was a few points stronger than before.

Song Qingming looked at him and couldn't help but frown. Could this guy have used some secret technique again?

Before Song Qingming could think more, Han Tongshan, who was still standing in the distance, suddenly disappeared from the spot. As Song Qingming looked up, Han Tongshan, who should have been some distance away from him, had already appeared high in the sky. The bone giant hammer in his hand had become a bit larger and was smashing toward the side of his body.

This time, the speed Han Tongshan erupted with was three points faster than just now. This time, if Song Qingming wanted to dodge directly, I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult.

Seeing that Han Tongshan's bone hammer had already reached his front, Song Qingming hurriedly put away the Jin Guang Mirror in his hand and released the Sky-Net Umbrella to block in front of him, and his eyes looking at Han Tongshan also became somewhat nervous.

"Kid, hehe, you've been tricked!"

Seeing that Song Qingming was about to forcibly block this attack, Han Tongshan's figure changed again, flying directly into the air. The bone hammer in his hand also became huge, smashing directly toward Song Qingming's head.

With a loud bang, after the white light lit up, another white light shield appeared in front of Song Qingming, firmly blocking Han Tongshan's bone hammer outside the light shield.

"This is... a second-tier defensive spirit talisman. How can you still have this on you? I really underestimated you. But how many such defensive spirit talismans can you have on you? Haha... next, let's see how many waves of my attacks you can block."

After Han Tongshan laughed sinisterly twice, he wanted to retreat, but at this moment, Song Qingming, who had not spoken in front, suddenly popped out a sentence.

"Actually, I only need to block this one time. Next, you won't have a chance to attack again." After speaking, a cold smile spilled from the corner of Song Qingming's mouth.

Upon hearing this, Han Tongshan felt something was wrong in his heart, but for a moment, he couldn't see what Song Qingming meant by saying this now.

Just as he had retreated a few steps, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his entire body. Several invisible sharp arrows were flying toward him at close range.

Han Tongshan hurriedly released his body-protecting Qi, and the white shield magic tool appeared in his hand again. However, before he could use this magic tool, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his entire body.

"Invisible Jade Wind Needles!"

Following Song Qingming's final crisp sound, a dozen transparent holes suddenly appeared on Han Tongshan's body, which also caused him to lose control of most parts of his body instantly. After a miserable scream, he collapsed directly to the ground.

"Not only did you break my puppet beast, but you also made me use a second-tier defensive spirit talisman. This time, even if it counts as meritorious service, I guess it's a bit of a losing business."

After putting away the things on Han Tongshan's body, Song Qingming muttered to himself a few words. Just as he was about to go and support the other two battlefields, he saw that the battle above had just been decided.

Sleep early, I'll revise it later.
