106: C106 Four-Star Spirit Talisman Master

C106 Four-Star Spirit Talisman Master

A cold voice suddenly jolted over as a young man dressed in a purple robe appeared before Du Zhenwu — his presence sweeping away everything within his path and causing one's soul to tremble in fear. As cracks eletrocuted through the earth, the young man grasped onto the pike aimed towards Du Zhenwu like some sort of toy.

*Crack! Crack!*

The pike vibrated for a moment before shattered into pieces like glass in the blink of an eye.

"Hey!"

The middle-aged man looked over at the purple-robed youth that suddenly appeared in the battlefield, utterly shocked. The aura being emitted by him was so overwhelming that it caused even his heart to palpipate against his will. The aura lingering through the air suddenly felt terrifyingly oppressive.

"Just go to hell!"

The instant he crushed the pike made of Qi in his hand, the purple-robed youth did not spare even a single second as he sneered and threw out a ferocious punch towards the middle-aged man. The talisman that appeared on his fist released a terrifying aura similar to a bolt of lightning.

"Bam!"

A muffled sound resounded from the middle-aged man's chest before he was forcefully rebounded from the Qi strike. Coughing out mouthfuls of blood, his entire life force had seemingly been depleted.

"How could this kid be so powerful? No wonder he was able to go up against a Pulse Spirit Stage Cultivator just now."

Upon seeing this absurdity, the expressions of the two remaining Peak Level Pulsating Stage Cultivators changed drastically as they retreated back quickly.

"Stop running! Stand where you are!"

The youth's voice reverberated through the air, seemingly different from his usual demeanor.

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

As his voice gradually diminished, the Qi around his body erupted as he shot out a Qi blast in the shape of two fingers that pierced through the air like a bolt of lightning!

*Sizzle! Sizzle!*

Just as the two Peak Level Pulsating Stage Cultivators were just about to make their escape, the Qi blast pierced through them from behind and created a bloody hole in the chest as their bodies collapse onto the ground like ragdolls.

"Something doesn't seem right."

Du Zhenwu muttered with doubt-filled eyes as he noticed that the aura around Du Shaofu's body was different than usual. Moreover, if one listened carefully to his voice, Du Shaofu actually sounded like a completely different person.

"Heh... there's actually a somewhat capable Spirit Talisman Master here. Perhaps he may even be someone who creates Talisman Arrays."

"Du Shaofu" did not pay much attention to Du Zhenwu as he looked up into the sky.

Up in the sky stood a certain meager old man who emitted a profound aura from his body. Each time he waved his hand, the air around him would fluctuate with rune energy. At this point, a large number of people from Stone City had been killed, and quite a large number of them had died in the hands of a single person.

The meager old man's figure flashed across the sky — exuding a powerful aura and lashing out vicious attacks.

At that moment, the meager elder seemed to have sensed that something was amiss just as he noticed that a purple-robed youth had appeared in the air before him.

"Huh? A Pulse Spirit Stage Cultivator? Impossible!"

The meager old man hovered petrified in the air upon seeing the youth. Only cultivators of the Pulse Spirit Stage had the ability to fly. However, that young man before him had clearly not reached that stage yet.

"Initial Stage Four-Star Spirit Talisman Master."

"Du Shaofu" looked at the meager old man in front with an indifferent expression.

"You are Du Shaofu?"

The meager old man stared at Du Shaofu's resolute and determined face, his eyes gloomy.

He had long since heard of this Du Shaofu, for he was the kid who had beaten Cao Qitai into a pulp.

Du Shaofu shot a glance at the meager old man in front of him and said, "If you want to fight, then just get it over with. There's no need for idle chat. It isn't as if I'm familiar with a Four-Star Spirit Talisman Master like you either."

"Little brat, what secret technique did you use to be able to fly in the air?! I will kill you today!"

Shocked to see how the young man did not have the slightest intention of putting him in his eyes, the meager old man immediately gritted his teeth in irritation.

As his Qi fluctuated along with his rune energy, the meager old man condensed a palm in the air, its aura making everyone in the vicinity to feel a slight sense of discomfort. It was the kind of energy that shook one's soul. Suddenly, aiming down on Du Shaofu, it shot straight towards his chest as swift as lightning.

"Hmmph! You don't have what it takes to destroy me! If I had even 10% of my original strength, I would've killed you a thousand times over!"

"Du Shaofu" muttered as he stared at the palm made of rune energy rushing towards him. But at that moment, he took a step back and waved his purple robe, causing rays of rune light to appear in the air that quickly eneveloped the palm.

*Chrrr!*

Amidst the rays of rune lights, a strange energy burst forth and instantly shattered the palm. In the next moment, the rune light shot straight towards the meager old man.

"What a strange technique!"

Witnessing the youth's technique, the meager old man could not help but feel a shiver down his spine. Not daring to prolong the battle any further, he used all his power to create a rune halo in an attempt to block the rays of rune light flying towards him.

*Crack! Crack!*

In spite of his greatest effort, the rune halo formed by the meagor old man was not able to resist the attack at all as it was instantly smashed into pieces by the rays of rune light.

"Look, it's Du Shaofu of the Du Family!"

"Du Shaofu is dueling against a strong opponent. To think his strength had actually reached such a fearsome level!"

"I hope he'll be able to assist the three great families in protecting Stone City!"

At this moment, the entire city looked at the purple-robed youth who was hovering in the air. Previously, that youth had shone brilliantly in the great battle between the five great families. However, would he be able to do the same this time and protect Stone City? Everyone's eyes were filled with great expectations for the youth.

"Ugh... I feel so weak. I've recovered too little of my strength."

Even after shattering the rune halo of the meager old man, "Du Shaofu" did not seem to be very satisfied with himself.

"That power of yours doesn't belong to you! It's borrowed power!"

Since the meager old man was a Spirit Talisman Master, he immediately discovered the secret of Du Shaofu's body.

Sure enough, that overwhelming force did not belong to the purple-robed youth. As he spoke, his expression darkened as he quickly manifested even more palms in the air.

As the runes fluctuated around his body, they turned into array banners one after another. A total of thirteen array banners formed, each one fluctuating with astonishing energy.

"You're not half bad for an Initial Stage Spirit Talisman Master, to be able to set up a four-star talisman array."

Looking at the array banners condensed in the hands of the meager old man, "Du Shaofu" started sizing it up with slight interest.

"Absolute Soaring Wind Killing Array!"

The meager old man shouted as he poured all the energy in his body into the thirteen rune banners, causing his face to turn bleach pale.

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

With a single wave of his hand, the thirteen array banners immediately surrounded Du Shaofu and started tracking him a lightning-fast speed.

*Boom!*

When the thirteen array banners activated, the space around Du Shaofu instantly began fluctuating violently with rune energy.

In that instant, strong gales of wind whistled through the sky as the space became incredibly chaotic. As the runes began surrounding the air and mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, a powerful talisman array appeared in the air.

The appearance of the Talisman Array covered up the sky and blocked the rays of the sun, causing extreme winds and bubbling clouds in the air.

The Talisman Array shrouding the entire Stone City in darkness appeared extremely terrifying!

Meanwhile, the space around the Talisman Array fell into a state of chaos as the berserk energy swept through the void like a terrifying tornado!

It seemed as if it was going to raze the entire Stone City to the ground, overpowering the very heavens and destroying everything down on the earth!

Amongst the Talisman Array Masters of the Four-Star Spirit Talisman Master, even the talisman arrays set up by ones of the Initial Stage could very well cause troubles for cultivators of the Pulse Spirit Stage, so much so that even ones of the Peak Level would definitely have a headache dealing with the Talisman Arrays.

Moreover, Talisman Arrays were also commonly used as methods of mass destruction.

In other words, the Talisman Array Masters amongst the Spirit Talisman Masters potentially possessed the techniques with the highest firepower in this world.

Anyone who managed to become a Spirit Talisman Master would receive noble status, much higher than that of Martial Cultivators of the the same level.

Every single Spirit Talisman Master, especially the extraordinary ones, were or would eventually become honored guests of every major power and clan.

"Oh my god! Not only is he a Spirit Talisman Master, but he's actually also a Talisman Array Master?!"

"What a powerful Talisman Array, Du Shaofu is trapped!"

The entire city was instantly with great shock and worry. After all, the strength of the Talisman Array was far too great, not something that any ordinary person could deal with.

"Not good!"

At this moment, Ye Guang had been suppressed by Cao Tianmang and another middle-aged man to the point where he found it difficult even to breathe. Along with the injured Ye Baolin, Du Zhixiong, Ye Zijin, Bai Caiyi, and others, they could feel the terrifying aura of the Talisman Array hovering in the middle of the sky.

"Bam!"

Cao Tianmang let out a cold sneer. Taking the opportunity when Ye Guang was distracted, he shot out a burst of Profound Qi with a wave of his sleeves that landed heavily on Ye Guang's shoulder.

Since Ye Guang had yet to recover from injury in the previous battle, he simply could not contend against Cao Tianmang whose strength had improved a lot. Moreover, he had just suffered quite heavy injuries over the span of this battle.

"Bam!"

A violent, powerful energy rippled through the air and forced Ye Guang to retreate even further backward. Staggering back a dozen meters, he finally managed to steady his stance before spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Once again obtaining the upper hand, Cao Tianmang spared no time in following up with more attacks. Turning into a bolt of lightning, he darted straight towards Ye Guang.

"You actually dare to play around with Talisman Arrays in my presence? You must be tired of living!"

A laugh could be heard from within the Talisman Array. As the fierce wind whistled in the sky, terrifying energy fluctuated within the enormous array, seemingly on the verge of crumbling.

At that instant, the "Absolute Soaring Wind Killing Array" that the meager old man deemed to be his strongest array technique and claimed to be strong enough to trap a cultivator at the peak level of the Pulse Spirit Stage had actually burst like a bubble in the blink of an eye!

*Rumble!*

The berserk rune energy enguled the entire sky and caused Stone City to tremble. Just a moment ago, the Talisman Array hovered terrifyingly in the air. But now, it had actually been destroyed so easily.

*Pttuuu!"

The meager old man's face bleached pale as blood started flowing out from the corner of his mouth.

*Swoosh!*

At the same time, a purple robed silhouette charged out of the destroyed Talisman Array like a ghost. In the next instant, a large palm manifested in the air and grasped down on the rune light before ruthlessly smashing down on the meager old man's chest.1

With everything happening in an instant, the meager old man, unable to defend himself in time, could only retreated as he sustained one injury after another.
