Chapter 98: You Are Too Greedy

How to break the defensive magic tool on Zhou Jintang's body became an urgent problem that Song Qingming needed to solve.

Although Song Qingming now had a great advantage over Zhou Jintang, they were still in Mount Yunwu. If the battle between the two attracted other cultivators or demonic beasts, the storage bag he had lost earlier would be wasted.

Helplessly, Song Qingming gritted his teeth and took out more than a dozen mid-to-low-tier spiritual talismans, wanting to try again to see if he could rely on the number of spiritual talismans to attack from all angles and find the defensive blind spot of the crystal ball to break Zhou Jintang's last line of defense from the side.

Song Qingming already knew that the blue light emitted by this crystal ball weakened the spiritual power he attached to the talismans, making the spiritual talismans he released unable to launch attacks normally after contacting the blue light shield. This time, after releasing the talismans, he deliberately left half for long-distance attacks. He estimated that a magic tool with such special abilities should not have very strong defensive capabilities itself. As long as he found the defensive blind spot, there would still be a great chance to break through this defense.

For this attack, Song Qingming did not dare to hope for how much effect it would have. The main purpose was still to test how strong the defensive ability of the opponent's magic tool was.

Soon, five or six spiritual talismans of different colors were activated by Song Qingming from a distance, flying to Zhou Jintang's surroundings first. Coupled with the second wave of spiritual talismans that had already approached, more than a dozen spiritual talismans had surrounded Zhou Jintang from all directions.

Sure enough, Zhou Jintang saw Song Qingming using talisman attacks again and was not panicked at all. The spiritual light of the crystal ball above his head moved again, rotating rapidly along his surroundings like flowing water, blocking all the talismans outside the blue light. No matter what kind of spiritual talisman it was, as soon as it contacted Zhou Jintang's crystal ball, its power instantly dropped by 70% or 80%, and the rest naturally posed no threat to Zhou Jintang.

"Just relying on these low-tier talismans, you want to break my defense? Fellow Daoist Song, you are too overestimating yourself!"

Seeing Song Qingming still wanting to continue using spiritual talismans to attack, Zhou Jintang asked with some puzzlement and sarcasm, not knowing what Song Qingming was planning.

After Song Qingming heard his words, his face remained unmoved, and he took out seven or eight more spiritual talismans, but this time the quality of the spiritual talismans was much better, including two top-grade spiritual talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this time let's see if you have the ability to take it."

Using so many spiritual talismans, Song Qingming also felt some heartache, but this was a special moment of life and death, and he could not allow himself to think too much. He understood very well in his heart that as long as he could break the opponent's defensive magic tool, this battle could be considered almost over.

For this attack, Song Qingming also made up his mind to fight hard. After releasing all the talismans in his hand, he also took out the Bai Yu Sword in his hand and rushed toward Zhou Jintang quickly.

Seeing that Song Qingming finally could not help but start to fight for his life, Zhou Jintang did not dare to be careless. He did not wait for those talismans to get close, and had already operated the crystal ball in advance, then reached out and touched it, taking a top-grade defensive spiritual talisman into his hand to add an extra line of defense for himself just in case.

There was another crackling sound. This time, the spiritual talismans released by Song Qingming had greater power and still gave Zhou Jintang no small pressure. However, he was well prepared. Relying on the divine ability of the crystal ball, he still blocked this wave of attacks. Only the aftermath of the two most powerful top-grade spiritual talismans passed through the defense of the blue light shield and fell onto a cyan light shield on Zhou Jintang's body.

Before Zhou Jintang could reveal a smile, Song Qingming, holding the Bai Yu Sword, had already appeared at his side. Feeling a cold wind attacking his waist, Zhou Jintang instinctively raised the long spear in his hand to block this strike. Unexpectedly, seeing that his sword strike failed to achieve success, Song Qingming threw another small silver thing, which looked like a small hidden weapon.

"Brat, I knew you had many little tricks. After suffering a loss once, you still want to succeed so easily?" Zhou Jintang, who had been prepared, pointed his finger lightly, and the ball above his head quickly flashed to block the silver hidden weapon.

"Eh! What is going on? Not good, my Thousand Water Ball is not listening to me..."

Before Zhou Jintang could react, Song Qingming kicked the crystal ball in front of him far away, and then gave him another iron fist. However, this strike still failed to succeed. Zhou Jintang had already activated a defensive spiritual talisman in advance. This punch hit Zhou Jintang's shield, and Song Qingming was also bounced back more than ten steps away.

From the beginning, Zhou Jintang had actually thought wrong. Song Qingming did not care at all whether the previous talisman attacks could succeed. His destination was never Zhou Jintang, but the defensive magic tool on his body.

The silver hidden weapon he just released was the silver iron block that Ghost Head gave him at the beginning. This iron block had the effect of temporarily isolating spiritual sense. Once attached to a magic tool, it could make the opponent temporarily lose control of this magic tool. For those who did not understand this object, it could be said to have miraculous effects.

At the beginning, Song Qingming was also ambushed by Ghost Head using this object and was almost robbed of his magic tool by the other party. If it were not for the Heavenly Net Umbrella magic tool he happened to have in his hand, it was really uncertain who would win.

As soon as Zhou Jintang lost the crystal ball magic tool, he was suddenly somewhat panicked. He also did not know what means Song Qingming just used to break his crystal ball magic tool.

Before Song Qingming could continue to attack, he had already thrown out a few spiritual talismans and fled quickly backward. However, he was seriously injured and had lost his left arm. When he ran, he was swaying, and his speed was obviously not as good as normal.

"Fellow Daoist, wanting to leave now, I am afraid it is a bit too late." Song Qingming propped up the Heavenly Net Umbrella to easily block these few talismans, took a few steps and jumped, and soon caught up with Zhou Jintang.

A few sword lights quickly slashed behind Zhou Jintang, and on the other side, there was a White Tiger puppet beast that had just been released by Song Qingming. The puppet beast released a few lightning bolts to attack, forcing him to stop his steps, turn around, and dodge these successive attacks.

Watching Song Qingming getting closer and closer step by step, Zhou Jintang pretended to be calm and said:

"Fellow Daoist Song, you had better not force me. Do not think that because I am injured, you can easily defeat me."

Hearing Zhou Jintang's words, Song Qingming sneered and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, is your brain broken? Clearly, you followed me all the way, wanting to kill and rob treasures. How long has it been, and how did it become me forcing you? Could it be that you coming to kill me was also forced by me?"

Seeing that he still could not persuade Song Qingming, a trace of despair gradually appeared on Zhou Jintang's face. Now his heart was full of regret for why he could not resist the temptation of spirit stones and took action against Song Qingming.

After a battle, Zhou Jintang had used up the powerful defensive spiritual items on his body. The second-tier spiritual talismans and the crystal ball magic tool were all lost in the battle. Coupled with the continuous worsening of the injuries on his body from the battle, his combat power was almost gone, and he soon died under Song Qingming's Bai Yu Sword.

Confirming that the other party had no breath, Song Qingming pulled out the long sword from Zhou Jintang's chest, took down the storage bag on his body and the few magic tools on his body, and finally released a fireball to burn his corpse clean.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, blame... blame yourself for being too greedy."
