In the eyes of these mountain spirits, since that bald donkey looked formidable, they should pick on the weaker ones. The pale-faced youth beside him, with his tender skin, looked like a delicious meal…
Ling Tian didn’t dodge. When the mountain spirit was about three meters away, Ling Tian suddenly raised his hand, and a fire talisman shot out, hitting the mountain spirit squarely.
"Boom!"
The fireball exploded, instantly engulfing the mountain spirit. However, to Ling Tian’s surprise, the mountain spirit was flipped to the ground but not killed. The high temperature had only inflicted severe damage.
It struggled on the ground for a long time and then shakily stood up again!
"Holy crap, that's amazing!"
Ling Tian’s admiration was genuine. He knew exactly how powerful his fire talismans were.
This thing took a direct hit from a fire talisman at close range and acted as if it was fine. This was truly extraordinary.
Ling Tian made a firm decision in his heart at this moment: no matter what, he had to eliminate these creatures today. If these things escaped the vicinity of Hantan Town, it would be trouble.
Although those伥鬼 posed a great threat, they were slow-moving and could only operate near the river.
But these creatures, being primates, would be unstoppable for ordinary people if they escaped.
"Master, come to my side!"
Without any hesitation, the Punisher Master moved to Ling Tian’s side. They stood back-to-back, facing the nearly 20 mountain spirits surrounding them.
"Brother Ling Tian, what should we do?"
"Of course, we'll catch them all. If these things escape to the outside world, it will be a catastrophe!"
"But these things don't seem easy to deal with…"
"Man proposes, heaven disposes!"
Just then, the mountain spirits lost their patience and lunged at the two of them almost simultaneously.
"Master, close your eyes!"
Ling Tian shouted and directly pulled out a dazzling light talisman, throwing it at his feet.
The Punisher Master’s mind was a bit slow to catch up. He couldn't figure out why Ling Tian was using a dazzling light talisman at this moment. These creatures were formed from the corpses of monkeys combined with Yin energy, and dazzling light talismans had little effect on them.
However, he didn’t know that Ling Tian was using an illusionary technique. This dazzling light talisman was actually for his own benefit!
As the talismans exploded, a wall of fire, two to three meters high and crimson red, rose from about two to three meters in front of Ling Tian and the great monk.
At this moment, several mountain spirits rushed over. Caught off guard by the sudden fire wall, they plunged right into it.
However, the fire wall summoned by Ling Tian was no ordinary flame. It was actually formed by two fire spirits.
When these mountain spirits touched the fire wall, they instantly vaporized, leaving no trace behind!
That was a temperature of six to seven thousand degrees, capable of instantly melting steel, let alone some evil spirits!
The Punisher Master was stunned. He never imagined that the flames summoned by Ling Tian possessed such power!
What puzzled him even more was that the fire wall was less than two meters away from him, yet he didn’t feel any heat emanating from it!
This was precisely the ability of the fire spirits, their mastery of fire taken to the extreme, with no wasted energy!
The great monk even felt a slight impulse to reach out and touch the fire wall, but reason ultimately stopped him. He didn’t believe he was more resistant to burning than the mountain spirits.
In almost an instant, over ten mountain spirits were burned to ashes, while the remaining few, terrified, retreated.
Although these creatures had limited intelligence, they possessed the basic instinct of self-preservation.
Their instincts told these monsters that the flames before them were extremely dangerous!
"Master, these things are very dangerous. If they are allowed to escape, it would be a catastrophe for the surrounding villages!
Today, we must eliminate all of them, no matter what!"
"Amitabha, this poor monk has the same intention!"
As soon as the words fell, the fire wall in front of them suddenly collapsed, transforming into five fireballs that lunged at the remaining mountain spirits. These five fireballs were precisely the five fire spirits.
At the same time, Ling Tian directly threw an entire book of fire talismans, and over ten fireballs rushed towards the group of mountain spirits.
The Punisher Master was not idle either. The remaining two Vajra Pills in his hand shot out, hitting a mountain spirit. The power emanating from the two Vajra Pills neutralized all the Yin and evil energy on the mountain spirit, causing it to collapse to the ground as a monkey corpse.
The remaining mountain spirits were in a dire state. Some were instantly vaporized when the fire spirits pounced on them, while others were hit by two or three fire talismans and eventually burned into charred corpses.
Out of the group of more than 20 mountain spirits, only two managed to escape the fire attack. These two were the weakest individuals, having stayed at the very back, thus having a chance to escape.
However, before these two mountain spirits could run a few steps, vines suddenly appeared beneath their feet, tripping them.
Immediately after, these vines, like venomous snakes, tightly wrapped around the two mountain spirits, binding them like zongzi.
These vines were the demonic vines summoned by Ling Tian. Once entangled by them, even elephants and rhinoceroses would be unable to move.
The two mountain spirits struggled desperately, but eventually, they could no longer move and could only watch as Ling Tian and the Punisher Master approached.
At this moment, Ling Tian had already put away the fire spirits. Their existence was difficult to explain, so Ling Tian quickly concealed them, making the Punisher Master believe they were merely spells cast by Ling Tian.
Ling Tian was about to summon the fire spirits again to deal with these two mountain spirits, but he quickly thought of something else and turned to the Punisher Master, saying, "Master, please handle these two wicked creatures!"
"Thank you, Brother Ling Tian!"
At this point, the Punisher Master was completely devoted to Ling Tian’s methods. He clearly understood the situation today. The threat posed by these mountain spirits was immense. If Ling Tian hadn't been there, even if only four or five mountain spirits had surrounded him, he would have had to pay a heavy price of severe injury to escape today.
Moreover, he was surprised that Ling Tian was so thoughtful, still thinking of helping him gain experience.
This time, the Punisher Master swung his Zen staff and smashed it fiercely at a mountain spirit entangled by the vines.
The mountain spirit let out a scream and finally stopped moving. Soon after, another mountain spirit also became experience for the Punisher Master.
Ling Tian summoned the Sea Eastern Eagle and circled around for a while before nodding with satisfaction.
"Very good, no one escaped!"
