Bamboo Mound

But it's too late!

Upon realizing it was a sound transmission talisman, a ball of energy immediately surged from the bamboo leaves and pierced straight towards the talisman!

Lingtai originally wanted to dodge with the communication talisman, but the bamboo leaf was too fast. In order to save his left arm, he had no choice but to abandon the communication talisman.

In an instant, the sound transmission talisman was shattered into pieces, which were then broken into fragments and scattered on the ground by the breeze stirred up by the bamboo leaves.

After wiping away the transmission talisman, the bamboo leaf did not launch another attack, but instead flew back into the pit and merged into the bamboo leaf storm that enveloped Ning Chang.

Upon seeing this, Lingtai immediately showed a look of despair.

The other party has already regained consciousness and has so many bamboo leaves around him, he has absolutely no chance!

"Is that all? Ha..." He gave a bitter laugh, preparing himself to face death.

He had no wife or children. When he was two years old, his family was slaughtered by bandits, and he ended up in their den. When he was a teenager, the bandit gang was wiped out by a weapon-refining workshop. Because he had some talent, he was hastily taken in and trained until Lingtai was placed in this godforsaken mountain valley to guard the mine. He received little salary, and he was not allowed to touch the mine or go out to find food and drink.

"Perhaps, this can be considered a relief?"

Just as he was pondering this, Ning Chang also fully regained consciousness.

He first released his spiritual power to sense his own body.

If you don't look, it's no big deal. None of his internal organs are intact, his bones are almost all broken, and his meridians are severed in several places!

If it weren't for the support of the interconnected spiritual energy within his body, he would have already lost his life!

"Heavenly Origin Spiritual Body saved my life!" Although it was somewhat unfamiliar, he recognized it as the "Heavenly Origin Spiritual Body" technique he had learned at the Qingyun Sect!

I thought that this kind of technique, which only focuses on combat power and disregards life, would never be useful, but I never expected that it could save my life!

Fortunately, he learned it once before giving up; otherwise, he would most likely be dead by now!

Also, because his entire meridian system contains spiritual energy, even if the meridian system is broken, it does not affect the use of spiritual energy.

Otherwise, even if they were lucky enough to fight back, they would inevitably be killed by Lian Ping in their helpless state.

After all, this is a spirit stone mine, and no one would be willing to give up half of it if they had the chance to keep it all for themselves!

Right now, although his spiritual power is more than enough to sustain his Heavenly Origin Spiritual Body for a long time, and he can even continue to cultivate in this state.

But an injury is still an injury, and if it doesn't heal, the consequences can be far-reaching.

After thinking it over, he looked up and immediately put away most of the bamboo leaves. This time, he released half of the amount in his spatial bag. He only had that much in total, and using more each time would only increase the waste.

Although the bamboo leaves used so far have not changed.

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, the bamboo leaves left outside rolled towards the Lingtai Guardian who was kneeling on the ground, looking relieved.

In an instant, it was shaved into hundreds of pieces and covered with a pile of dirt.

After putting away his spatial bag and letting it float to the side, Ning Chang first cleaned himself up.

To his relief, he was wearing the brown tunic he had come in, which was now covered in blood and mud and was unusable; he wouldn't even feel bad about throwing it away.

He took off his robe, and with a single burst of spiritual energy, he swept away all the wood chips, dirt, and blood!

He took out a bronze mirror and looked at himself. His body was covered with mottled bruises and purple spots, but no wounds or bloodstains were visible.

That makes sense, since his blows were all punches and smashes, causing internal injuries, he naturally couldn't utter a sound.

He took off the indigo robe and put it on, but before he could properly adjust it, he heard Lian Ping's voice coming from not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, come quickly!"

Upon hearing this, he lost his focus and stepped to Lian Ping's side.

At this moment, Lian Ping was holding two daggers and continuously attacking a protective array.

The array enveloped seven cultivators at the Fusion Spirit Realm and one at the Gathering Spirit Realm.

Seven of them, at the Fusion Spirit Realm, were gritting their teeth, constantly channeling spiritual energy to maintain the formation's existence.

However, it was far slower than Lian Ping's attack. Cracks kept appearing on the array, and it seemed that Lian Ping would be able to break through the array in less than half a minute.

However, the Spirit Gathering Realm cultivator was currently holding a communication talisman, infusing it with spiritual energy in preparation for activation.

Upon Ning Chang's arrival, Lian Ping spoke rapidly: "These are all that's left. Fellow Daoist Ye, quickly join me in breaking the formation and stopping that brat from using the sound transmission talisman!"

Without him saying anything, Ning Chang had already released five bamboo leaves, which clanged and clattered onto the formation. In just a moment, the formation shield was shattered, and the leaves pierced towards the communication talisman.

However, the moment the bamboo leaf touched the sound transmission talisman, the talisman turned into ashes and disappeared from the spot.

That's a sign that the transmission talisman has been used successfully!

At the same time, Lian Ping also broke into the formation and instantly killed eight cultivators who had exhausted their spiritual power.

He paused for a moment, then ran toward the teleportation array with a gloomy expression.

"Not good! Fellow Daoist Ye, come quickly! Let's destroy that teleportation array together!"

In the blink of an eye, just as the two arrived at the teleportation array again and Lian Ping was about to unleash his power, the teleportation array flashed and a figure emerged.

As soon as the figure appeared, it raised its hand and took out a round shield, blocking Lian Ping's attack.

Then, a cleaver appeared in his other hand. With the round shield raised, the cleaver slashed at Lian Ping head-on!

Lian Ping was hit by the round shield, his figure paused for a moment, and seeing that he could not dodge the cleaver, there was a "clang" sound, a bamboo leaf hit the cleaver from the side, causing it to deflect by a large distance and miss.

Lian Ping regained control of his body and immediately retreated, moving away from the reinforcements in front of him.

Only then did the aura emanating from the newcomer become apparent, revealing him to be at the sixth level of the Spirit Platform!

At the same time, a voice rang out: "You audacious madman! How dare you rob my weapon-refining workshop's spirit ore!"

"Fellow Daoist!" Lian Ping turned to look at Ning Chang, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Ning Chang did not respond, but instead released more than a dozen bamboo leaves, all of which attacked the man from the front.

The person from the weapon-refining workshop naturally dared not underestimate them. With a flash of light from his sword and shield, he engaged in a fierce battle with Zhu Ye.

However, the two-handed weapons were not as flexible, and after a few exchanges, the bamboo leaves forced him to retreat continuously.

Seeing this, Lian Ping instantly understood Ning Chang's intention. When Zhu Ye changed his attack and forced the man to keep turning around to parry, he took a step forward, pulled out his hands from behind his back, and pressed them onto the teleportation array!

By the time the person realized it, it was too late.

In an instant, the location where the teleportation array was originally was replaced by a shallow pit.

Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Ning Chang suddenly accelerated, adding several more wounds to his body.

Seeing that the teleportation array was destroyed and that he was powerless to deal with the two, Lingtai of the weapon refining workshop decided to retreat.

Suddenly, his speed increased, and his whole body flashed with blue light.
