Chapter 329: Talent: Flaw!

"What a thief, daring to break the law within Daxia's borders, devouring others' souls—do you really think my Demon‑Suppression Office has no one?"

A cold shout rang out, and the next moment a Flowing Light shot forward; with a Bang! a muffled impact sound echoed.

Wang Ping'an's body was surrounded by a Copper Wall Iron Shield, the talisman case hanging from his neck; seeing the Flying Sword about to strike him, he sensed the attack and instantly emitted a mid‑level Talisman—Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman.

Since he learned the method of forging talisman cases, he has crafted a large batch, giving one batch to his family and another batch for the Paper Person.

Originally.

The talisman cases contained entry‑level Talisman, but after receiving a free gift from Hu Rui at Jiu tou shan ji shi, he successfully forged a batch of mid‑level Talisman.

He immediately swapped the entry‑level Talisman in the cases for mid‑level Talisman.

However.

This was still the first time his talisman case triggered an effect, and also his first use of a mid‑level Talisman—Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman.

Boom!

The next second, another deafening explosion rang out; Wang Ping'an watched the Copper Wall Iron Shield, again facing the Flying Sword attack, now riddled with cracks, and the Paper Person's face was about to show shock.

Although he had never fully tested the upgraded version of the entry‑level Golden Light Talisman, the mid‑level Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman's effect.

But he believed that a Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman forged by his own hand, even compared to his own entry‑level Golden Light Talisman, let alone those of other Talisman masters.

Even if it were a mid‑level Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman crafted by a Talisman Grandmaster, it would not match the mid‑level Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman made by him.

He never could have imagined…

His very confident mid‑level Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman was struck by the enemy's attack after only two rounds.

It was soon covered with spider‑web‑like cracks!

"You Evil Cultivator, you do have some skill; I didn't expect you to possess such a powerful Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman. I underestimated you—no wonder you dared to commit crimes within Daxia!"

Yu Die let out a cold snort, her gaze fixed on Wang Ping'an—more precisely, on the golden Copper Wall Iron Shield before him, and a hint of surprise slipped onto her pretty face.

This Flying Sword is no ordinary Sword Apparatus; she was taught from childhood.

Combat.

No matter the kind of combat, one must give it everything.

Whether it was the earlier ambush or the second assault, she used nearly full strength, yet she never expected that two consecutive attacks would fail to destroy the golden Copper Wall Iron Shield before Wang Ping'an.

The upgraded entry‑level Golden Light Talisman and the mid‑level Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman—she had indeed encountered them, but regardless of which Talisman master forged the Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman, none could withstand her sword.

It can resist a single strike!

In that moment, the fighting spirit bubbling in Yu Die's heart grew even stronger.

Bang!

Yu Die commanded the Flying Sword to strike the golden Copper Wall Iron Shield before Wang Ping'an again; with a fierce impact sound, the shield shattered like a broken mirror, splintering in all directions.

At that moment, Wang Ping'an charged forward with his sword; Yu Die's mouth twitched into a smile as he said, "Interesting, worthy of a sword‑cultivating practitioner, but I still don't know how your swordsmanship truly is!"

Mid‑sentence, Yu Die's mind shifted; the Flying Sword attacking Wang Ping'an's golden Copper Wall Iron Shield from afar instantly transformed into a Flowing Light in her palm, and she, sword in hand, lunged toward Wang Ping'an.

"Clang!", "Clang!", "Clang!"

One Sword Apparatus clash after another rang out, and the silhouettes of Wang Ping'an and Yu Die left a trail of after‑images everywhere. From an initially even match, Wang Ping'an soon fell behind, his Sword Apparatus developing one gap after another.

"Ding! You are locked in a life‑or‑death duel with a Sword Cultivator, your unstoppable momentum, your talent: Sword Bone activation, your exceptionally high comprehension gaining a bit, congratulations on receiving the reward: Talent: Flaw 【Entry Level】!"

As Wang Ping'an struggled to fend off wave after wave of Yu Die's tide‑like assaults, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind before he could even examine the newly acquired Talent.

Flaw!

What effect does it have!

When Wang Ping'an looked at Yu Die, he seemed to glimpse the optimal attack direction against her, but it was vague and vanished quickly.

Wang Ping'an realized that perhaps his newly gained Talent: Flaw was at work, but because the Talent: Flaw's level was too low, the flaw Yu Die displayed was very fuzzy.

It disappeared quickly!

"Is this all the skill you have?"

Yu Die suddenly thrust her force, blasting Wang Ping'an away; looking at the collapsed Wang Ping'an, disappointment shone in her eyes.

Wang Ping'an's swordsmanship cannot be called ordinary; it is just a little stronger than that of a typical Sword Cultivator.

But before her, the difference is like clouds and mud, with no comparison possible.

This novel you have reached

Yu Die's gaze returned to Wang Ping'an, watching the Paper Person he controlled; she suddenly came to her senses, sighed, and said, "I was foolish; you are ultimately a practitioner of a side‑path, good at swordsmanship but not a true Sword Cultivator."

The gap between a Sword Cultivator and a practitioner skilled in swordsmanship can be said to be as vast as heaven and earth.

Wang Ping'an's sword skill is not inferior to that of ordinary Sword Cultivators; it is already impressive.

"Die!"

Yu Die, certain Wang Ping'an had no greater sword skill, lost interest in playing with him, let out a cold shout, and hurled a Flying Sword that fluttered like a dancing butterfly toward the fallen Wang Ping'an.

It contained boundless killing intent, even the surrounding air grew heavy, giving a feeling of falling into an icy vault, chilling to the bone.

Bang!

As the butterfly‑shaped Flying Sword was about to destroy Wang Ping'an, a golden Copper Wall Iron Shield appeared before him; Yu Die realized Wang Ping'an had used the Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman again.

"Is this a dying struggle, or does your Paper Person hide a secret that can expose you?"

A curious smile appeared on Yu Die's face.

However.

She did not employ any other means, instead allowing Wang Ping'an to use the Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talisman to block her attack.

Boom!

Yet this time, the freshly formed golden Copper Wall Iron Shield could not even hold for a single round against Yu Die's butterfly‑shaped Flying Sword.

With a deafening explosion, the golden Copper Wall Iron Shield shattered instantly.

Yet the next moment, another golden Copper Wall Iron Shield appeared.

Yu Die's smile faded, her face turned cold, and she said in an unfriendly tone: "I actually want to see how many Copper Wall Iron Shield Golden Light Talismans you have used!"
