Mythical Cultivation

With just one whip, the Xuanwu Shield's protective shield nearly broke. Wu Ming was startled by this and activated the Diamond Talisman in his hand. A beam of golden light blocked his path. Just then, the Blood-Weeping Whip struck again, shattering the Xuanwu Shield's defenses and sending it plummeting into Wu Ming's arms. Fortunately, the Diamond Talisman's light wall held the whip's shadow firmly in place, merely oscillating for a moment. It seemed it could still withstand a few more strikes.

The flame of the Fire Talisman also pounced on the middle-aged man's Quguang Shield. The Quguang Shield shattered in less than a breath, but there were still three Quguang Shields behind it. The second shield lasted for two breaths and also shattered. However, the power of the Fire Talisman that shattered two Quguang Shields was less than half of the original one, and it was unknown whether it could shatter the remaining two shields.

The Fire Separation Talisman encountered the third layer of light shield, and it took five full breaths for the shield to slowly break. At this point, the Fire Separation Talisman's power was barely tenth of its peak. After hitting the last layer of light shield, just a breath later, the Fire Separation Talisman slowly dissipated. The final layer of light shield trembled several times, but ultimately blocked the Fire Separation Talisman's attack.

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't taken the Fire Separation Talisman seriously, it was still a high-level second-tier talisman, equivalent in power to a strike from a cultivator in the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment. In his prime, he could have blocked it, but now he only had a third of his strength left, so he was still a little nervous. Seeing that the four-layer Curved Light Shield had still blocked the Fire Separation Talisman after three layers had been shattered, he felt relieved and continued to direct the Blood-Weeping Whip to strike the Vajra Talisman.

Wu Ming cried out in regret when he saw the Fire Separation Talisman shatter three layers of light shields in a row, finally collapsing before the last one. However, facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, achieving this was quite impressive, considering his cultivation level.

At this moment, the Golden Light Sword and the Mountain and River Inkstone attacked the last curved light shield. With a shattering sound, the middle-aged man's defense was finally broken. Seeing that the two magic weapons were about to attack the middle-aged man, he was not a pushover.

He was unhurried, and with a single movement, he appeared several feet away, followed by the two magical instruments. But those two breaths were enough time for the middle-aged man to cast a spell. He pinched his fingers and cast a curved light barrier in front of him. The two magical instruments struck the curved light barrier, only creating ripples, while the middle-aged man remained unharmed.

The middle-aged man also smiled playfully at Wu Ming. This was all part of his plan. Even though he was still seriously injured, facing a Qi Refining cultivator was still easy.

But after dozens of breaths, he still hadn't captured Wu Ming, and he began to feel anxious. If the fight dragged on, attracting Pan Ning would be disastrous. He suppressed the discomfort and pinched his fingers again. A lifelike firebird appeared before him. It was the advanced Firebird Technique. The firebird gave a low cry and then charged straight at Wu Ming.

The Vajra Talisman was already shaky from the Weeping Blood Whip's attacks, and now with another firebird attack, Wu Ming knew it couldn't stop it. He activated the last Vajra Talisman, and two layers of Vajra Talisman light walls appeared before him, allowing him to relax a little.

The firebird swooped down on the wall of light. Within two breaths, the outermost diamond talisman shattered and dissipated into the air. Then, it collided with the second wall of light. A crackling sound echoed between the two. After a few breaths, the firebird dissipated, and the diamond talisman's light wall also began to crumble.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man lashed out with the Bloodthirsty Whip again. With just one strike, the light wall shattered. The Bloodthirsty Whip also wound around Wu Ming. If it did, Wu Ming would have no choice but to wait for his death.

Wu Ming threw out the Basalt Shield again to resist the entanglement of the Blood-Crying Whip, but the Basalt Shield had just been broken and had not yet recovered. It could only block one attack at most. He had to find a way.

When the middle-aged man saw that Wu Ming had broken two of his Vajra Talismans in a row, he did not continue to use the Vajra Talisman, but instead used the shield that had been broken before. He guessed in his heart that Wu Ming should have no second-level talismans left. It seemed that the battle was about to end.

The middle-aged man also moved closer to Wu Ming. Now the distance between them was less than 30 meters, preventing Wu Ming from escaping. At this distance, even if Wu Ming wanted to run, he could stop him in an instant.

Wu Ming was now racking his brains trying to figure out how to break free. The gap between his cultivation level and the middle-aged man's was too great. Apart from the talismans and the Heavenly Thunder Beads in his hands, his other methods were useless. If this continued, even escaping would be a luxury.

Suddenly remembering the ambush he encountered just after leaving the sect, Wu Ming came up with a plan. He patted his storage bag and pulled out a dozen talismans from it. These were the dozen or so first-level high-level talismans left over from his previous refining.

The middle-aged man was also shocked when he saw Wu Ming pull out more than ten talismans. This kid still has so many talismans, what a rich man. However, after careful inspection, he found that they were only first-level talismans. Oh, that's fine, he was relieved. No matter how many first-level talismans he had, they would not pose a threat to him.

However, to be on the safe side, he still added a barrier in front of him. He was not stupid, what if this kid was deliberately confusing him?

Wu Ming ignored the middle-aged man's thoughts and threw more than ten talismans at him. They all activated simultaneously, and a multicolored light exploded in front of the middle-aged man. The area around him was filled with the explosions of various talismans, and the momentum was quite spectacular. However, despite the overwhelming momentum, it couldn't even break the barrier in front of the middle-aged man.

Taking advantage of the talisman's explosion, Wu Ming secretly retracted the Golden Sword and the Mountain and River Inkstone, then threw out a Heavenly Thunder Seed, stepped on the Golden Sword without even looking, and flew directly into the distance.

The middle-aged man was startled when Wu Ming threw over a dozen talismans at him. He was certain Wu Ming had mixed a second-tier talisman with the dozen or so first-tier talismans, catching him off guard and taking advantage of his carelessness. So he focused all his attention on the ten or so talismans, ready to add another layer of protection at any moment.

As a result, more than ten talismans exploded, but they couldn't even break his barrier. Then, in the light of the explosion, he vaguely saw Wu Ming stepping on the flying sword and fleeing into the distance. He knew that he was too cautious. This kid threw out so many talismans not to trick him, but to use all means to escape and attract his attention.

But this can only delay him for a few breaths at most. By the time he reacts, it will only take a few minutes to catch up with him. This kid really underestimated the strength of the Foundation Establishment Period.

In just a few breaths, Wu Ming had flown hundreds of meters, but this was still within the range of the middle-aged man's spiritual awareness. The spiritual awareness of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage was at least two hundred meters, and the middle-aged man was already in the middle stage of the foundation-building stage, with a spiritual awareness of about five hundred meters.

The middle-aged man also took out a mid-grade flying sword, flew up on the sword, and chased after Wu Ming.

Originally, as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he certainly would not use such a low-level flying sword. Unfortunately, in a previous battle, several high-level magical weapons were either damaged or lost, leaving only the damaged but still usable Blood-Crying Whip. This also increased his hatred for the Qingyun Sect.
