Ling Tian’s fierce staff strike, infused with internal energy, was dodged by Zuo Can.
The staff hit the ground like a cannonball, sending dirt and碎石 flying.
Seeing this, Zuo Can quickly turned his head to prevent the splashing mud and sand from injuring his eyes.
However, in that instant, a figure appeared before him. The long staff in his hand performed a flourish behind his back and swept directly across Zuo Can’s waist.
Because the strike came so quickly, Zuo Can had no time to dodge.
In a flash, he brought his hands together in front of his chest, thrusting forward his twin hook-like weapons, the Zi Mu Ji Zhua Yuan Yang Yue, to block the attack of the long staff.
The long staff struck heavily against the pair of Zi Mu Ji Zhua Yuan Yang Yue. The immense force channeled into the staff actually shattered the tiger’s mouth of Zuo Can’s hands.
The tremendous power forced his arms apart. If not for the special structure of the Zi Mu Ji Zhua Yuan Yang Yue, his weapons would have been knocked from his grasp.
However, at this point, whether the weapons were knocked away was meaningless. Zuo Can’s center was completely exposed, his chest unprotected. He was like a helpless young wife facing a lustful wolf.
Ling Tian flicked his wrist, and the tip of the long staff in his hand instantly transformed into a blur of motion. This blur then struck Zuo Can’s chest repeatedly.
To others, Ling Tian seemed to have poked once or twice, but in reality, in that instant, Ling Tian’s staff attacked six times.
All six strikes targeted the most vulnerable parts of Zuo Can’s chest.
Zuo Can was forced back several steps, nearly falling to the ground, as the staff jabbed him.
He felt his internal organs churning, a salty taste rose to his throat, and he opened his mouth, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
Ling Tian raised his staff, about to press his advantage. At that very moment, You Que, who had been sitting nearby muttering to himself, suddenly had a black mist condense around him.
This black mist, as if possessing life, lunged fiercely at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian instinctively swung his staff, the blur of motion forming a barrier in front of him.
However, the black mist ignored the staff’s obstruction and directly collided with Ling Tian’s body. Physical attacks were ineffective against this black mist!
“Heh heh, die!” You Que let out a chilling laugh.
Originally, his and Zuo Can’s martial arts were formidable, and dealing with the Zhuo family members was like slicing through vegetables.
But then they encountered Ling Tian. They suffered a disadvantage from the first exchange and quickly recognized reality: even if the two of them combined their attacks against Ling Tian, they probably couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
Moreover, with both of them injured, they could only resort to other means!
Thus, he chanted incantations and released the Yin Sha, which had been attached to his body and refined for many years!
This was also the ultimate killing move of the Yin Sha Sect. They cultivated with Yin energy year-round, achieved Yin Sha, and then manipulated the Yin Sha to injure enemies.
These things were elusive, extremely fast, and even more terrifyingly, immune to physical attacks. Once attacked by Yin Sha, one would be severely injured, or even killed on the spot!
Seeing the Yin Sha pass through Ling Tian’s staff blockade and smash into Ling Tian’s body, at that instant, a burst of white light erupted from Ling Tian, forming a light barrier on his body.
The black mist collided with the light barrier, even causing a small explosion.
Everyone covered their ears, as if hearing the black mist continuously roaring.
When they looked at the black mist again, they found that its volume seemed to have shrunk by a third.
At this point, looking at You Que, blood was seeping from his nostrils and ears.
It was evident that the black mist, the Yin Sha, had collided with Ling Tian, triggering the Vajra Talisman he carried.
The righteous energy contained within the Vajra Talisman was a natural nemesis to these Yin Sha.
The Yin Sha was severely injured, and You Que, who was mentally connected to it, was naturally not lightly wounded either!
Ling Tian was also startled, not expecting to be ambushed.
Fortunately, he carried many treasures given by his masters and had many trump cards for survival, thus avoiding injury.
“Good, very good! You dare to ambush me, you are truly formidable!
Yin Sha, is it? You probably don’t know, but I have plenty of experience dealing with Yin Sha!”
After speaking, Ling Tian pretended to reach into his pocket. When his hand emerged, a talisman appeared in it.
Ling Tian channeled his true essence into the talisman and flicked his hand. The talisman fluttered and flew directly towards You Que.
At this moment, the bottom of the talisman was ignited, and Ling Tian could clearly feel the world’s energy gathering intensely towards the center of the talisman.
This sudden suction force also pulled in the Yin Sha, which was also composed of energy!
Seeing this, You Que knew the situation was dire. He quickly chanted incantations, trying to control the Yin Sha and resist the immense suction force of the talisman.
However, it was all in vain. You Que watched helplessly as his Yin Sha was adsorbed by the talisman in mid-air, unable to move.
Just then, a cold smile appeared on Ling Tian’s lips. He took another talisman from his pocket and injected his true essence into it.
This was a fire talisman. After injecting true essence, the fire talisman transformed into a fireball the size of a person’s head.
This small fireball drifted in mid-air and was soon affected by the spirit gathering talisman, then directly floated towards the spirit gathering talisman above.
“No, don’t!”
You Que felt impending doom. He desperately tried to control the Yin Sha to escape, but it was useless. He could only watch as the fireball flew towards the spirit gathering talisman, towards the Yin Sha.
“Boom!”
The fireball hit its target and exploded on the spot. A massive fireball with a diameter of over two meters engulfed everything around it, including the spirit gathering talisman and the Yin Sha.
The spirit gathering talisman had just absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy. Once ignited, the explosion spread instantly, pushing the blast radius outwards by another three meters.
The moment the Yin Sha was engulfed by the fireball, Ling Tian clearly saw You Que’s body stiffen, his eyes roll back, and then Ling Tian witnessed what it meant to have blood flowing from all seven orifices.
The entire Yin Sha was consumed by the fireball, leaving nothing behind. You Que’s spirit suffered even greater damage, and he died on the spot.
At this point, only the injured Zuo Can remained on the ground.
Seeing his companion’s death, a sliver of despair welled up in Zuo Can’s heart.
He suddenly remembered that this was probably the state of his opponents before they were cruelly killed by him and his fellow disciples.
He never imagined that a monstrous talent like Ling Tian, besides knowing martial arts, would also know Taoist talismans!
