Chapter 624: Why is my career panel in an anime art style? Chapter 297
'Strange... why do I remember that I should have met Master at this time?'
The situation seemed somewhat wrong; his memory appeared to have deviated.
'Could it be that I remembered incorrectly?'
'Wait... what Master? Isn't Master at the Wu family?'
Vaguely, the small green blob sensed a few anomalies.
Just then, an extremely violent explosion suddenly drew its attention.
Boom—!
Watching the thick black smoke swirling with fire in the distance, the small green blob couldn't help but pause in place: 'Did this happen back then?'
Before it could figure out what was going on, Gao Haoguang had already quickened his pace, running toward the hillside outside the small town.
At this moment, the gray-haired youth’s expression was incomparably heavy.
The commotion in the distance was undoubtedly Master and the others taking action, though he did not know who the opponent was.
But regardless of who it was, he had to obtain those Dharma talismans as soon as possible.
Thinking this, Gao Haoguang increased his speed by another few notches.
Seeing that the distance to the small hill outside the town was getting closer, he felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.
However, just as he arrived at the foot of the hill, he saw a young man with strange eyebrows standing in the middle of the road, looking at him with a cold expression.
The man looked the gray-haired youth up and down, then spoke: "You certainly gave me a hard time finding you. If it weren't for the information from that little girl, I fear I might not have been able to find you."
Having said this, he stopped speaking.
Accompanied by a flash of blood-colored light, the man’s originally calm expression turned ferocious.
"I am Zhao Yan, here specifically to take your life, little brother."
Hearing this, Gao Haoguang’s eyes widened instantly.
Zhao Yan?! He was that Great Divine Ability Seeker from the Wangchuan Academy?!
And looking at his appearance, he had clearly transformed into a Dharma corpse!
Too late to think, Gao Haoguang immediately rolled to the side.
The next second, a streak of blood-colored light flashed across the spot where he had been standing.
Zhao Yan, holding a blood-colored blade, looked at the unscathed gray-haired youth not far away and couldn't help but remark: "Your reaction is quite fast, but it’s a pity it’s of no use."
Before his voice had even faded, he attacked again with the blade in his right hand.
Gao Haoguang, having narrowly dodged the first strike, saw the second attack already upon him and immediately gritted his teeth, channeling his Dharma power into the talisman in his hand.
As he continuously injected Dharma power, the talisman began to emit a golden light.
The very next moment, a bone-chilling coldness spread out from the talisman, transforming into two long needles that shot toward Zhao Yan.
Facing this sudden attack, a look of extreme astonishment appeared on Zhao Yan’s face: "Phantom Shape Cold Needle Talisman!?"
Given his relationship with that Immortal Lord Changshi Wanfa, he had naturally seen this Great Divine Ability talisman refined by the other party.
But how could this little guy have this talisman?!
More importantly... the other party was actually able to activate this Great Divine Ability talisman at one hundred percent efficiency; this was hellish!
Too late to think, Zhao Yan immediately retreated; after all, in his current state, he had no way to take this attack head-on.
Seeing that he had successfully forced the enemy back, Gao Haoguang felt a wave of relief.
These Great Divine Ability talismans were obtained on the hill where he buried Bai Xiaoxiao after she died.
Although he didn't know why that Immortal Lord Wang Baxian had suddenly chosen to leave these talismans behind, he was grateful for it; otherwise, he would have been in trouble today.
It was a pity that after using the Phantom Shape Cold Needle Talisman, he only had one Dragon King Wind-Calling Talisman left. Relying on this to defeat the opponent was truly not very secure; it would be best if he could obtain the other Great Divine Ability talismans here.
Thinking this, Gao Haoguang ignored the youth who was entangled with the ice needles and ran toward the summit.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and chose to swap positions with his Returning Heaven Blood Body.
Pfft—!
Looking at his Returning Heaven Blood Body, which had nearly half its torso frozen into ice, Zhao Yan let out a light breath.
This was only the result of the Returning Heaven Blood Body being grazed after shrinking its size; if it had been hit head-on, he would likely have been half-crippled if not dead.
But as Zhao Yan recalled what had just happened, he couldn't help but frown: "This little guy’s talent in the way of talismans is somewhat strange..."
To be honest, if not for his status, he would have wanted to take the other party as a disciple.
After all, compared to that little girl from not long ago, the talent displayed by this little guy just now was even more terrifying.
It was a pity...
Everyone ultimately had different stances.
One man's hero is another man's villain.
For the sake of his and his senior sister’s safety in the future, that little guy had to die here today.
Thinking this, Zhao Yan immediately raised his blade and gave chase.
The environment in the mountain forest was very complex, but for him, it was not a problem.
Swish—
Accompanied by a blood-red blade light, trees began to fall in large swaths.
At the same time, Gao Haoguang’s expression sank upon seeing the trees continuously collapsing behind him.
Clearly, the Phantom Shape Cold Needle Talisman had not had much of an effect on the Dharma corpse behind him; the other party would likely catch up before long.
Realizing this, the gray-haired youth did not hesitate and immediately activated the other Great Divine Ability talisman in his hand.
Dragon King Wind-Calling Talisman!
In an instant, a violent wind rose, and a giant dragon condensed from the storm roared out.
Its form circled in mid-air, sharp air currents rolling along its torso, slicing through the air like blades.
A wave of air like an angry forest swept in all directions; as it passed over the earth, trees were bent, grass and wood rustled, and the world was filled only with the roar of wind and the dragon’s cry intertwined.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
Another Great Divine Ability talisman?!
Too busy to think, he immediately unleashed his innate divine ability, [Great Sinister Blood Body].
In just a breath’s time, a massive, heaven-defying blood-colored figure stood before Zhao Yan.
Facing the wind dragon rushing toward his face, the blood-colored figure roared and fiercely swung the blood-red blade in its hand.
Whoosh—!
Amidst the deafening roar, boiling air currents surged from the center of the explosion, crazily scattering in all directions.
Caught off guard, Gao Haoguang was fiercely blown away.
However, he could not care about the pain in his body and hurriedly climbed up to look at the opponent’s position.
But when he saw the scene in the field, his expression became incomparably ugly.
The wind dragon was slowly dissipating between heaven and earth, and in its place, the blood-colored figure had lost nearly half its body.
Yet despite this, it still stood firmly in place.
Gao Haoguang had not expected that two Great Divine Ability talismans would fail to take down the opponent.
More importantly, he no longer had a third Great Divine Ability talisman, and he was still a long way from the talismans left here by Immortal Lord Wang Baxian.
'Could it be that today is my death day?'
At this very moment, this future Demon Lord of Extreme Law without Dao felt a trace of despair in his heart.
Just when he thought all was lost, two gold-red talismans drifted slowly from the air to land before him.
"..."
Heaven does not cut off all paths!
Too late to wonder why this situation had occurred, Gao Haoguang took a step forward, picked up the two talismans, and immediately began injecting Dharma power into one of them.
As a line of blood tears spilled from his eye sockets, one of the talismans began to emit a dazzling golden light, and immediately, the surrounding earth and stone gathered to form a giant.
Great Divine Ability Talisman: Heavenly General Divine Soldier Talisman!
At this moment, Gao Haoguang knelt halfway on the head of the earth-stone giant, gasping for breath.
Using three Great Divine Ability talismans in succession had already pushed him to his limit; one could even say he was completely overdrawing his Dharma power.
But to survive, and to protect Master and the others, he had to kill the Dharma corpse opposite him.
And on the other side.
Zhao Yan fell into a daze after seeing this scene.
"...Is this little guy really just an entry-level Seeker?"
Having lived for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation; after all, what entry-level Seeker throws Great Divine Ability talismans around as if they were worthless!?
Glancing at the gasping Returning Heaven Blood Body at his feet, Zhao Yan sighed slightly.
He had already used all his strength to block the Dragon King Wind-Calling Talisman; it was clearly unrealistic to try and block another Heavenly General Divine Soldier Talisman.
'I wonder if that person will take action... otherwise, today should be my death day.'
'I didn't expect that I still wouldn't be able to wait for Senior Sister...'
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan subconsciously looked toward Sanchuan Town.
Unfortunately, with his current strength, he naturally could see nothing.
The good news was that with that backup plan in place, the Wangchuan Academy should not be wiped out.
As for now...
Let him and the Three Truths Faction settle things here.
"Senior Sister... I shall take my leave first."
As the murmur drifted away with the wind, the Returning Heaven Blood Body began to stride toward the earth-stone giant.
However, in a place that neither Gao Haoguang nor Zhao Yan noticed, a small green blob was silently watching the battle between the two.
History had deviated.
He was now certain of this point; after all, those two talismans that had appeared before Gao Haoguang just now were thrown by him.
Of course, it was also thanks to the Dragon King Wind-Calling Talisman, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do this.
Who told Immortal Lord Wang Baxian to leave the talismans in a cave? Because the wind was strong, they were blown over; that’s quite reasonable, right?
But having said that, history should have changed back at Black Mountain Village.
After all, in his original memory, he had never come into contact with the Phantom Shape Cold Needle Talisman or the Dragon King Wind-Calling Talisman during this period.
'So where exactly did the problem arise...'
Up to now, everything had matched the results in the small green blob’s memory, yet the process was vastly different; he wouldn't believe it if there wasn't a problem inside.
Unfortunately, due to too little information, he couldn't grasp the source of the problem in the short term.
'Forget it... I can only take it one step at a time.'
Thinking this, the small green blob cast its gaze downward again.
Such a massive commotion outside Sanchuan Town naturally attracted the attention of the Seekers in the town.
Datou watched the two giants brawling and couldn't help but mutter: "Damn! Where did such monsters come from in this small place?!"
As the designated heir of a major power, his vision was likely the broadest among all the Seekers present.
Of course, it was also because the Three Truths Faction had fallen on hard times; otherwise, the other party should have known more than him.
Just as Datou was secretly wondering who was fighting outside the town, the old man beside him seemed to recognize who one of them was.
More accurately, the earth-stone giant was emitting an aura that felt somewhat familiar to him.
