Chapter 150: Slaughtering the Demons
Li Hui made his move, using a Mystical Yellow Path Talisman.
With just one strike, the red land behind him instantly faded. Meanwhile, the twenty-three demon cultivators screamed, with five mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivators shrieking as their magical items and arms vaporized in an instant. The eighteen mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivators’ magical items rattled loudly; their former power was nowhere to be seen, and they were at risk of vaporizing at any moment.
In moments, the demonic patterns in the Blood Diagram behind the eighteen demon cultivators collapsed dramatically, and they spewed black blood as they flew backward, trying to summon their Slave Seals to replace them.
“Stay put!”
At sixty zhang away, Li Hui performed the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique, summoning the Hundred Dragon Claw Phantoms in an instant. A simple five-pattern immobilization talisman in his hands transformed decay into something miraculous, as the talisman light pulled and tugged, forcibly keeping the eighteen demon cultivators in place for three breaths of time.
Don’t underestimate these three breaths; the Mystical Yellow Path Talisman drew heat from the red land. The magical items in the hands of the eighteen demon cultivators shattered, and their demonic flames flickered like candles in the wind, dangerously close to extinguishment.
If Li Hui faced this many mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivators alone, without using the semi-artifact big knife, the Control Poison Decree, and the Mystical Demon Crying Blood Talisman, even with an immense stockpile of spirit talismans, the most likely outcome would be mutual destruction or even perish together. If they unleashed a trump card, he might end up dead.
It would take considerable effort to eliminate just one mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivator, let alone fend off eighteen of them at once. Fortunately, with the Mystical Yellow Path Talisman shifting the force of the restrictions, he could borrow power from Wan Nest Island.
“Use Confinement Flags, use Decayed Flags, use damage-dealing talismans, use immobilization talismans—quick!”
Seeing their dire situation, Li Hui knew that his advantage lay in numbers. Leaving aside the timid cultivators, there were plenty of brave ones; wasn’t it just about activating the talisman flags and spirit talismans? Unexpectedly striking from twenty zhang away wouldn’t put them in too much danger.
The nightmare for these demon cultivators began. Even though they had plenty of magical items, they were quickly draining their magic power and could not unleash their full strength. They were furious that the damage-dealing talismans were too troublesome; not only did they struggle to block them with their magical items, but their power also stacked.
This meant that after one damage-dealing talisman siphoned their energy, another would still be effective. Although each one impacted only slightly, they couldn’t withstand hundreds or thousands piling up.
Talisman quality was troublesome; when insufficient, quantity made up for it. Ants could shake a big tree—utterly unreasonable. It was unfortunate that the Three Islands (of Heaven, Earth, and Man) had so many blood banana trees and hadn’t seen any talisman makers come through.
The advantage of numbers became clear: shadows surrounded them, and Blood Ignition Talismans, Exotic Blood Talismans, and Failing Blood Talismans flew out. Facing these mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivators was terrifying! So they unleashed their talismans wildly—they resorted to blowdarts, concealed weapons, and poisonous insects. If they let these demon cultivators catch their breath, they would surely slaughter without mercy.
“No, Island Master, save us!” The five mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivators huddled together back-to-back, but their magical items and arms had vaporized. They stood no chance against the storm of attacks. Even if they wanted to rush out and take a few Slave Cultivators down with them, it was merely a wishful thought.
Li Hui suddenly looked into the distance, solemnly taking out the Control Poison Decree while pouring out mounds of spirit talismans, thick as bricks for building a wall, casually piling them at his feet. He said to Huo Qiniang, “Distribute the talismans. No matter who comes, bury them under the pile.”
Huo Qiniang felt dizzy looking at the mountain of spirit talismans.
Typically, a stack of talismans had about twenty or thirty pieces; a bundle had a hundred, a stack had ten bundles, and in front of her, there were at least ten stacks. The total number certainly exceeded one hundred thousand.
Li Hui added, “Hurry back! Send two more batches out.”
“Understood!” Huo Qiniang quickly assigned people to distribute the talismans. Although the four blood talismans—Blood Ignition Talismans, Exotic Blood Talismans, Blood Merging Talismans, and Failing Blood Talismans—made up the majority, their immense quantity sufficed.
Just relying on these blood talismans was enough to make the enemy hesitate and falter. Adding in a damage-dealing talisman would ensure they would wish they were dead.
This was Li Hui’s hard work over several days; he had begun tackling the Blood Energy Talisman and the Unceasing Blood Flow Talisman, with the Blood Mouth Spitting Talisman also climbing the ranks. He believed that upgrades would arrive soon.
Voices echoed from afar: “Please stop! This junior would like to spare face for Island Master Ju Liu and let the brothers go. We are willing to offer twenty bricks of Blood Jade Miao Jade as compensation.”
Low-grade Miao Jade is measured by "pieces," while medium-grade Miao Jade is measured by "bricks."
Li Hui coldly smiled; they thought that by offering twenty bricks of Blood Jade Miao Jade, they could settle things. This Island Master Ju Liu must be lacking in the intelligence department; he wouldn’t stoop to the level of an idiot.
The five mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivators, filled with unwillingness and frustration, were devoured alive by the Slave Cultivators they looked down upon. The eighteen mid-Gather Spirit demon cultivators had no choice but to gather themselves together, guarding against one another while collaborating to defend.
“Kid, you have some guts! Watch me unleash the Flying Sky Yasha!” The roar blasted like thunder, the red light surged across the sky, and a terrifying force erupted, faint ghostly howls could be heard.
On Li Hui’s side, hundreds of subordinates received the spirit talismans. Why hold back? They charged forward a certain distance and struck hard!
Everyone’s thoughts were simple, maybe too simple; they believed that even the slightest impact on the enemy would be beneficial. United in effort, “Zhi Cheng City,” each threw out a talisman, ensuring they didn’t run out of “firepower” to turn the enemy into soft shrimp, making escape easier.
Well! Even after everything, the majority still thought about survival.
As the roars intensified, a great shadow dashed through the air.
Suddenly, Xiuhuan shouted, “Use the Mystical Demon Crying Blood Talisman, which should now be called the Mystical Demon Talisman. Haha, I mean, why would a good demon cultivator not practice magic but choose the path of ghosts, commanding a Flying Sky Yasha to attack? Smash him, shove him, haha, I’m so excited!”
Li Hui didn’t hesitate. Seeing the large shadow diving down, he reached for a piece of tree bark, with two halo-like rings swirling around it.
“Profoundly mysterious almost approaches the Dao, the Mystical Demon is the demon among demons. Since the Mystical Demon Talisman has formed, show me your power!” The treasure talisman burst forth in wondrous light, forming countless crescent-shaped green lights above.
With a series of “poof poof” sounds, the large shadow shook and did not dive down; instead, it turned back, returning the way it came. Soon, a series of miserable screams erupted.
Xiuhuan grinned, “You can’t see the details, but you don’t know how spectacular it is! The Flying Sky Yasha went back and dealt with its owner. I love seeing the summoned ghostly beings turn against their controllers, and I enjoy seeing demon cultivators fall into madness, Haha, the combination is even more entertaining! Killing the Yasha now would be a blessing; when night falls, that’s when the real trouble begins.”
In mere moments, Xiuhuan smirked, “Going mad, just as it should! How could a mere mid-Gather Spirit compete with a treasure talisman I created?”
“With a bang, bang, bang…” Mystical flames soared into the sky, the sharp, terrified cries rang out: “Brother Ju Liu, it’s me! You’ve gone crazy…”
This truly was a case of misfortune befalling the already troubled. To Li Hui’s surprise, the Mystical Demon Talisman was such a strange occurrence that he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of what the Flying Sky Yasha looked like. The demon cultivator controlling it had already been counterattacked by the ghost, and seemed to be descending into madness, attacking those nearby.
“Wipe out the demon cultivators.”
Li Hui’s murderous intent surged; today he had won this battle. However, if it was this intense before even stepping into the outer ring, how fierce would it be once he entered the inner ring? These preparations seemed far from enough…
