Chapter 727: The Formidable Foes Pressing In

At this moment, two Yang Gods faced off on the sea.

The light of the Tian Tun Mirror swept over Master Ji, who coldly laughed, “This Tian Tun Mirror has become even more powerful in your hands, able to obliterate all Spirit Treasures and Ultimate Treasures. I can sense that with each batch of treasures extinguished by its light, the power of Mufeng City grows. Since I know its might, how could I possibly come here with treasures in hand? So, as you wished, I have come bare.”

Li Hui was struck with horror; Master Ji was too extraordinary. He relied on no Spirit Treasures or Ultimate Treasures, arriving in his Yang God form with strong confidence to suppress Mufeng City. If he could not break through this blockade today, not only would Mufeng City fail to return to the Wutu Continent, but even his Yang God wouldn’t make it back.

“Diminish!”

Master Ji raised his hand and shot fire-like auras, piercing towards the calamity sun and moon summoned by Li Hui. Suddenly, the spectacle of the sun and moon’s brilliance faded, causing the sky to darken and rendering the calamity power unable to gather.

“Forgetfulness is a calamity!” Li Hui summoned boundless calamity power to make this formidable foe forget his existence. However, the power only whirled helplessly before Master Ji, emitting a cry but daring not to approach.

“Ha ha ha! How ridiculous! I only diminish others; no one dares diminish my past. Those travelers going against the flow of time do not even dare approach me, fearing I’d strip them of everything. You, a mere talisman practitioner, have the audacity to think you can make the heavens forget my existence? Truly, the ignorant are fearless!”

As his voice fell, Master Ji casually pointed, “Born as a Nine-Mystic person, die as a Nine-Mystic ghost. Since you want to forget, forget your master!”

The Calamity of Forgetfulness erupted in the city, completely beyond Li Hui’s control. His subordinates trembled as if suddenly awakened, shouting loudly, “Ah! Why am I still in Mufeng City? Quick, leave this place! The city lord of Mufeng City has gone mad, daring to oppose Kunlun Hall!”

Including Tie Yixin, faces contorted in struggle as they abruptly fell into confusion, unsure of which way to go.

Li Hui’s heart sank, and he stamped his foot, self-destructing his power: “Break!”

“Boom, boom, boom…” The clouds of forgetfulness dispersed, but many in the city were still affected. Those with weak wills scattered like birds and beasts, with only Tie Yixin and Hao Yue Lin remaining pale and collapsed on the ground, having endured the terrifying Calamity of Forgetfulness.

Before long, the city became even more vacant; ninety percent of the people quickly retreated, with fewer than a tenth remaining. This was only because Li Hui had timely shattered the Cloak of Forgetfulness. Had he been a moment later, even Tie Yixin and the others would have left.

Master Ji coldly smiled, raising a hand to press down!

Although there were no abnormal signs, Li Hui suddenly heard “thump, thump, thump” sounds, sensing something was wrong. This Master Ji was draining his lifespan…

“Draining my lifespan? If my lifespan ends, I will dissipate!” The Yang God stood firm, channeling his technique swiftly. Millions of black runes emerged in the city, flying towards Master Ji as he unleashed a storm of talismans!

The black runes approached silently. Master Ji suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped, as if catching fish in the sea. His movements were swift, and he truly caught something.

“Oh? A curse talisman mixed with the Undying Curse assassination method!” Master Ji examined the black fish for a moment, then squeezed it hard and tossed it into the sea. There was a bubbling sound as fish and shrimp floated to the surface, as well as some afflicted by demonic energy that had turned into sea monsters; they too could not escape death.

Although the entire sea area had lost its vitality, Master Ji stood leisurely on the surface of the sea, unaffected by the curse talisman method, effectively ending the accumulation of talismans that Mufeng City had cultivated over the years.

Li Hui found the situation troublesome—this guy was too powerful! No matter how the talismans evolved, Master Ji effortlessly diminished their transformations and used the fish and shrimp from the sea to bear the burden of the curse.

“What? Is that all you can do?” Master Ji asked with a cold sneer. “It’s not your fault for being fierce; it’s just that the Nine-Mystic Continent hasn’t produced any decent talents in recent generations. However, even if Nine-Mystic is short on talent, there’s no place for you, Li Hui, to flaunt your might. The virtuous cultivators accumulated over the past twenty generations are enough to wipe you out hundreds of times!”

“Do you really think draining my lifespan will place you in an invincible position?” Li Hui looked at him playfully, causing Master Ji to feel astonished. Suddenly, he stepped back three paces, eyes reflecting shock.

In battles among experts, everything can change in an instant. Master Ji found it unbelievable that he had just diminished five thousand years of Li Hui’s lifespan, only to find that in a heartbeat, he had had five thousand years of his own lifespan diminished instead; Li Hui’s Yang God was even showing signs of exhaustion. This Li Hui was indeed somewhat formidable.

Li Hui would not relax; secretly, he let out a breath. He used the Heart Talisman from his mind’s mysterious portal to pressure the Dao Fruit of glazed tiles, making Master Ji feel what it was like, finally causing this formidable foe to lose vital essence and lifespan.

“Did you acquire this Dao Fruit through advancements in the path of talismans?” Master Ji swiftly discerned this, flicking his fingers to release smoke and dust.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” The smoke and dust entered Mufeng City without any hindrance. Even the talisman artifact flower basket descending from above, with all its metal energies, was powerless against it!

At this moment, Li Hui felt an infinite killing intent approaching, diminishing lifespan, power, soul, and even spirit! Even though his spirit was like a radiant sun in the sky, giving off magnificent flames, facing Master Ji’s assault still made him feel precariously on edge, forcing him to spin on the spot and transform into the Yin-Yang mark.

The Yang God transforming into the Yin-Yang mark meant a shift from offense to defense. When the smoke and dust arrived, the Yin-Yang mark seemed to open a mysterious portal, with a glimmer of light rising and falling within.

“Oh?” Master Ji grew serious upon seeing this, stating solemnly, “You actually made the Dao Fruit undergo a transformation! This is truly a rare achievement for the recent generations of cultivators!”

The demon rune goes against the heavens, turning disasters into blessings, transforming dangers into safety!

“Boom, boom, boom…” The mysterious portal closed, and Master Ji retreated another three steps. His techniques were once again redirected onto himself, igniting his competitive spirit.

“Good, very good! Diminishing the Heart Talisman Dao Fruit after its transformation can help me reach another level!” Master Ji extended his hand as if plucking the strings of a zither, and streams of smoke and dust shot forth, producing a “bang, bang, bang” sound.

At that moment, Mufeng City erupted with light, millions of rays flashing, unending energies unfurling, with numerous talisman formations activating and spirit treasures carving through the terrifying smoke and dust.

To Li Hui’s astonishment, these shooting smoke and dust were worn away layer by layer, changing from white to blue, and then from blue to red. After shedding eighteen layers, they transformed into transparent zither strings.

“Is your Dao Fruit music-based? No, it’s about vibration.” Li Hui suddenly realized, waving his hand to imprint eighteen bright runes, plucking them just like zither strings. The resonating “ding, ding, ding” of zither sounds spread, slowing Master Ji’s killing move for a moment.

“Hmph, quake for me!” Master Ji stomped his foot forcefully, sending the entire sea into a tremor. Countless droplets leapt from the sea, suddenly transforming into countless zither strings heading towards Mufeng City.
