Chapter 98

The three people inside the illusory array were all resolute in mind. Although their faces were grave, none of them lost their composure. A hint of a smile still lingered in Qin Fengming's eyes.

Due to controlling so many talismans to attack the enemies so many times, he felt more at ease with controlling the talismans. If he were to encounter a cultivator at the initial Foundation Establishment stage in the future, he was confident that he could defeat them with talismans alone. Even for a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was confident he could escape unscathed.

At this moment, the Blood Refinement Sect's illusory array master, a deacon of the Falling Cloud Sect, was already drenched in cold sweat, his face ashen.

Seeing the three people from the Falling Cloud Sect wave so many talismans again, his shock had turned to fear. If he were to face these three people now, he would only flee, unable to muster any will to fight.

About half an hour after the attack by two to three thousand demonic beasts, the Blood Refinement Sect's illusory array flickered, and a disciple was teleported out.

His face was pale, and he was weak, with no trace of magical power. As soon as he was teleported out of the illusory array, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and held a spirit stone in each hand to recover his magical power.

Not long after, another Blood Refinement Sect disciple was teleported out, also pale and unsteady, and without saying a word, he sat on the ground to fully recover his magical power.

After that, Blood Refinement Sect disciples were teleported out one after another, and the same scene kept repeating...

Just as everyone was fully focused on the Blood Refinement Sect's illusory array, suddenly, the illusory array was filled with a bright light, and over ten Blood Refinement Sect disciples were teleported out together. Then, the illusory array returned to calm, and the mist that had enveloped the area dissipated, as if nothing had happened. The trees and grass swayed, everything appearing peaceful.

Just as the illusory array teleported out the last batch of Blood Refinement Sect disciples, the three people from the Falling Cloud Sect inside the illusory array had also eliminated the last demonic beast.

Qin Fengming turned to look at Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Lin, seeing their faces somewhat pale. He knew they had consumed a lot of magical power and divine sense, so he said with a bitter smile:

"Senior Sister Zeng, Senior Brother Lin, I don't have many talismans left, only about a hundred. I think you two don't have many left either. We won't be able to survive the next wave of demonic beasts."

Senior Sister Zeng and Senior Brother Lin also looked at each other, knowing that what Qin Fengming said was true. Without enough talismans, they would only be annihilated.

Senior Brother Lin thought for a moment and said, "What Senior Brother Qin said is very true. We only have about a hundred talismans left. For the next wave of demonic beasts, we can only do our best and see how long we can hold on. We don't know how the other sects are doing, but we can only do our best."

"Hehe, I think the other sects are no better. Even with the combined strength of the Blood Refinement Sect, they will also fall to the demonic beasts due to lack of magical power," Qin Fengming said with a slight smile.

"Yes, we will do our best and hold on as long as we can. No matter what, we should thank Senior Brother Qin for helping us get this far," Senior Sister Zeng also said.

After that, the three of them did not say much more. They all sat on the ground, closed their eyes, but did not recover their magical power. They knew that even if they recovered their magical power, they couldn't hold on for long without talismans. At this moment, their minds were clear, as if they had entered a very mystical realm.

This break lasted for about two meals' time before demonic beasts appeared around the three of them again.

The three of them looked at each other, all smiling slightly and nodding. Then they stood up, prepared, and made their final effort. At this moment, they had no杂念, no thoughts of victory or defeat.

The number of demonic beasts in this wave had increased to four to five thousand. Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it extremely difficult to escape unscathed when surrounded by so many demonic beasts.

Since the three of them had already made up their minds and no longer had the desire to win, they were not in a hurry. When Qin Fengming threw out his sixth batch of about twenty talismans, he saw that the other two did not throw out any more talismans, knowing that they might have used up all their talismans or had very few left.

The three of them all laughed heartily, mustered their last courage, and fought with all their might.

When the last five fire snakes disappeared into the crowd of beasts, Senior Brother Lin put away his Spirit Rhinoceros Ring and only released a high-grade magical tool to protect himself. Qin Fengming and Senior Sister Zeng also released high-grade magical tools to protect themselves. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the final moment had arrived.

The three of them only held on for a few breaths before being overwhelmed by countless demonic beasts. Qin Fengming felt a sharp pain in his body and a dizziness in his head. When he regained consciousness, he found himself outside the illusory array.

Outside the illusory array, the people of the Falling Cloud Sect suddenly saw the three of them being teleported out and all cheered.

But when they saw that the three of them did not seem to have consumed much magical power, they were all surprised. However, when someone thought of the many talismans Qin Fengming had, they immediately understood. At this moment, everyone was smiling.

The three of them suddenly appeared and saw that the disciples of the Falling Cloud Sect outside the illusory array were all smiling at them, and they were all slightly taken aback.

It turned out that some curious people had already gone to the other sects to inquire and learned that all the disciples of the Blood Refinement Sect had been teleported out of the illusory array, and that their sect had won the competition. How could they not be happy?

The people of the Falling Cloud Sect surrounded the three of them, cheering and celebrating. The three of them also learned the reason from the others and knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill was now in their hands. They were all extremely excited.

At this moment, the elders and deacons of the Blood Refinement Sect on the viewing platform had already learned that the last three people from the Falling Cloud Sect had also been teleported out of the illusory array. There was a lot of discussion on the viewing platform.

The elders of the Void Sect, Sleeping Tiger Mountain, and Spirit Driving Sect all congratulated Senior Uncle Zeng and Senior Uncle Ximen, congratulating the Falling Cloud Sect on winning again. However, they all mocked the two elders of the Blood Refinement Sect.

Elder Zhang of the Blood Refinement Sect looked at Senior Uncle Zeng, who was smiling, and said with a grin:

"Senior Brother Zeng, I didn't expect your sect to produce such talented people. We have no complaints about losing the competition. We thought our sect could use this illusory array to bring down the Falling Cloud Sect, but it seems we can only hope for the next competition."

Senior Uncle Zeng looked at him and said with a smile:

"Elder Zhang, at our level, what expectations can we still have for the competition among the younger generation? No matter which sect wins, it won't affect us. Being too attached is not good for cultivation."

Elder Zhang was slightly taken aback by this, laughed a few times, and did not say anything more.

Now, everyone knew the reason why the last three people from the Falling Cloud Sect had held on for so long. They were all curious about the Falling Cloud Sect having such a disciple, even though the elders did not think much of low-grade and mid-grade talismans.

But for a Ninth Layer Qi Gathering disciple to use up thousands of talismans in one go was still a great surprise, and they all asked the two of them for the reason.

Senior Uncle Zeng and the other were also puzzled, surprised by the performance of their disciple. They had planned to ask him in detail when they returned. For now, they could only smile and vaguely respond.
