Chapter 53

The formation of talismans hung with explosive fire talismans, how many people in the current Holy Hall can achieve this?

As an outstanding practitioner of talisman arts, Ming Ren was undoubtedly the clearest about this. Things seemed to be getting a bit interesting.

Zhou Qian formed hand seals with both hands, while Shentu’s eyes were like copper bells. If the eight explosive fire talismans hit solidly, it would be very difficult for him to withstand them at his current level.

Gripping the twin axes tightly, what was originally a completely one-sided battle of trash had unexpectedly reached the level of a grand competition. No one had expected this.

"Kill!"

Shentu took a step forward, completely ignoring the fire talismans. His battle axes lunged at Zhou Qian like the fangs of a venomous snake.

And for the first time in his life, Zhou Qian did not retreat. The eight explosive fire talismans whistled as they rushed over.

"Explode!"

Rumble... The thunderous sound continued for a while before stopping. Simultaneously controlling eight explosive fire talismans was truly bizarre, but people saw Shentu still standing. The cheers of Hengshan Hall erupted, but soon turned to silence.

"Powerful... enough!"

With a loud thud, Shentu fell to the ground, and Zhou Qian collapsed not far away, a huge gash running diagonally from his right shoulder. He had already fainted.

At this level, in this kind of battle, whoever held back would die.

In a flash, Wang Meng was by Zhou Qian’s side. He opened the Soul Lock Pill given to him by Xu Huang and fed it to Zhou Qian. At the same time, he slowly infused yuan energy to protect Zhou Qian’s vital points. The Soul Lock Pill was not just any street medicine; it was a genuine mid-grade pill. Although the attacks of body cultivators were fierce, the damage was mostly physical, with a few broken bones.

On the other side, Shentu was also being given pills by Hengshan Hall disciples.

"Senior Brother Wang, use this. It will definitely be fine." Ma Tian’er hurriedly came forward, holding a small jade bottle.

Wang Meng smiled, "It’s already fine."

"Was that a Soul Lock Pill just now? The Thunderlight Hall is quite well-equipped."

"Yes, look at the jade bottle in that sweet girl’s hand. The material is extraordinary; it’s probably not an ordinary item."

"How can the Thunderlight Hall have such experts? It’s truly unbelievable."

Ming Ren looked at both sides and said, "The first match is a draw. Are there any objections?"

Tang Wei snorted coldly. Even thugs have their rules, but the Thunderlight Hall’s luck had run out!

"Zhang Heng, leave them a mark!"

The first match ending like this clearly angered Tang Wei. Not being able to directly win three to zero was a kind of insult to Hengshan Hall.

Zhang Heng drew his large saber, his face expressionless, the scar on his face looking particularly fierce.

The blade glinted sharply in the sunlight. Who would the Thunderlight Hall send out?

"I’ll go!"

Ma Tian’er walked forward with a sweet smile. Wang Meng and the others were startled and tried to stop her. This girl was just here to make up the numbers. They thought this was the Thunderlight Hall, but looking at the other side, it was clear he wasn’t the type to show mercy to a woman.

Compared to the fierce Zhang Heng, Ma Tian’er... this sweet little girl stepping up was just asking for trouble.

"Senior Brother Zhang, you must show mercy to the fair sex. Don’t destroy such a beautiful flower!"

"Yes, little beauty, it’s not too late to join our Hengshan Hall."

"Exactly, why mix with the softies of Thunderlight Hall? The real men are all in Hengshan Hall!"

A chorus of whistles and chest-thumping from the men. Ma Tian’er quickly turned her head, making the men even more brazen.

The disciples of Feifeng Hall, like Yang Ying, couldn’t stand it. Hengshan Hall was indeed like a gang. Looking at the radiant Tang Wei, Yang Ying could only sigh. Some people’s levels were just like that.

But Zhang Heng’s face showed no smile. He slashed his large saber, and a crack appeared on the ground.

"I’m giving you one last chance to concede. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhang Heng said coldly.

Ma Tian’er shook her head stubbornly. Wang Meng had planned to put Ma Tian’er last, but once the arrow was released, there was no turning back. "Tian, if you can’t handle it, don’t force it."

Ma Tian’er turned and smiled, clenching her fist. "I will definitely win!"

There was another burst of laughter. Of course, not everyone in the crowd was laughing. Zhang Liang rubbed his eyes desperately. This girl looked familiar... Zhang Liang had an excellent memory, one of his skills. He felt he had seen this girl somewhere before, but searching through all the people in the nine halls, he couldn’t find anyone like her.

"If you’re looking for death, don’t blame me!"

Zhang Heng was not the type to show mercy. He swung his large saber, a flurry of blade light, and slashed down at Ma Tian’er.

As a talisman practitioner, this was the time to unleash a barrage of fire talismans, creating chaos. Ma Tian’er did indeed unleash...

She threw all her fire talismans at once. Zhang Heng was probably at the fourteenth or fifteenth level, while Ma Tian’er was at the eleventh level. The gap was quite obvious. The attacks of talisman practitioners were inherently weak, and without using explosive fire talismans, Ma Tian’er was basically helpless against him.

Especially...

The crowd burst into laughter. Was this even a battle?

Ma Tian’er was throwing the fire talismans with her eyes closed, and surprisingly, the barrage forced Zhang Heng to retreat.

Zhang Heng’s character was clearly calm and ruthless. Unlike Shentu, who charged straight through the fire talismans, he dodged to the side, letting Ma Tian’er throw them randomly.

The fire talismans flew like fireworks, and the laughter around grew louder. Ma Tian’er’s face turned even redder.

When she opened her eyes, she realized her opponent was not in her line of attack.

"Looking for death!"

Zhang Heng roared, taking heavy steps, and slashed at Ma Tian’er.

At this moment, Ma Tian’er’s yuan energy had been rapidly depleted by the barrage of throws, and she was exhausted.

Wang Meng quietly held a stone in his hand.

But... at least react, dodge!

Ma Tian’er stared blankly at the large saber coming towards her and suddenly screamed, "Help!"

...

Calling for help at this moment? Is this a unique way of conceding?

But Zhang Heng didn’t care. He continued to slash with his large saber.

Boom...

The blade that could have turned Ma Tian’er into minced meat broke, and Zhang Heng’s tiger’s mouth split open.

In front of Ma Tian’er, a giant monster appeared... more accurately, a spirit beast!

"Chi Hou," a giant ape-like creature, ugly in appearance, immensely strong, with a body like steel, highly resistant to spells, and a bad temper. For cultivators, it was the type to be avoided.

And this Chi Hou had become a spirit beast?

Zhang Heng threw the broken saber, bared his teeth, and his muscles began to bulge, his bones growing larger. This was a skill of body cultivators.

Not only did his size increase, but his strength also grew.

"Little cutie, beat him up!"

Ma Tian’er said.

Instantly, everyone around felt the urge to bang their heads against the wall. ...This thing has nothing to do with being cute at all!
