Chapter 366: Talisman Methods Control Jieshi

The Surveillance Pavilion retreated to Jieshi City, as huge waves carried countless sea beasts to the shore. They flailed and surged forward, many fish and shrimp sprouting legs, entirely wrapped in dark energy as they advanced.

This was a catastrophe! Words could no longer describe it.

Chu Chu stepped onto her six-length golden sword and charged into the wave of beasts, followed closely by Lian Luosha and Qian Qiu Yue. These sea beasts had turned into evil and treacherous creatures, rushing towards areas of concentrated human energy, and whenever one group was driven back, another would charge forward.

Li Hui stood on the city tower, gazing out and feeling that Jieshi City was so small, like an inconspicuous reef, uncertain whether it could withstand the onslaught of monstrous waves.

Suddenly, the surface of the sea rippled, and Chen Zhi Cheng and the other practitioners burst out.

“Did you unseal the barrier? Chen Nuo Er truly is impressive, using the practitioners to form a layered array to leverage their power, her tactics are sharp!” Li Hui never felt jealousy towards strong practitioners; he observed from a distance, learning from them.

He saw sword lights darting through the air like schools of fish, vanquishing sea beasts wherever they passed. The true disciples from various sects joined forces, and countless sea beasts fell, only to be met by a resounding sword cry that lit up the surface of the water.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…” All sword-type artifacts and treasures emitted resonating sounds, creating a vast symphony. Chen Nuo Er waved her long sword, raising a terrifying wave of swords; dense beams of sword light shot out, explosively deploying in a sword array that systematically exterminated all sea beasts between the array and Jieshi City. Thousands of practitioners cheered, rapidly returning to the shore.

Chen Zhi Cheng laughed from a distance, “Hahaha, Li Yingjun, how does it feel? Our accumulated accomplishments have firmly suppressed you.”

“Stop the chit-chat and push the formation to help me exterminate the sea beasts.” Chen Nuo Er’s brows furrowed; she found her brother unbearably dull. She wanted to confidently enter the Jin Tian Sect today and must win this game.

“Boom…”

Nearly a thousand practitioners formed an impressive array, standing on a massive array map, while eighteen massive formation disks floated above them. Chen Nuo Er, with her long sword in hand, stepped forward, and magnificent halos appeared around her, which began to shatter.

Chen Zhi Cheng exclaimed, “Sister, we have already secured our position; why do you want to unseal the second barrier? It would be very difficult to seal it back up again, it’s not worth it.”

“Shut up! That Chu Chu, Lian Luosha, and Qian Qiu Yue haven’t used their trump cards yet, and the wave of beasts doesn’t have Bosa stage sea beasts. Remember, today’s wager is no joke; practitioners should charge forth with courage and determination, and there must be no room for error. You’re disappointing me. They say young sect leaders are all spoiled, and this current state is completely unsuitable for the present dark moon era.”

“Sister, I…” Chen Zhi Cheng felt a tremor in his heart; his sister rarely reprimanded him so harshly.

“Quick, help me push the sword array.” Chen Nuo Er radiated killing intent, igniting nearby practitioners. Soon, the massive array rumbled like a grinding mill, crushing countless sea beasts, leaving a mountain of corpses in its wake.

On the city tower, Xu Houde wore a sorrowful expression, saying, “Junior Brother, even with the three senior sisters fighting fiercely, killing in wave after wave, we’re still only opening up a bit of distance in accomplishments; this Chen Nuo Er has quite the skill.”

“I’m waiting!” Li Hui looked outside the city and said, “The sea beasts charging towards the shore are converging on Jieshi. This will soon become the main battlefield.”

“Oh? Do you have confidence, Junior Brother?” Xu Houde felt a glimmer of hope rise.

“Chen Nuo Er is correct; we practitioners should stride forward while singing, bravely and diligently.” Li Hui agreed, “The path of the Tao is right before us, filled with thorns. Today I shall unleash a great slaughter! Haha, to be honest, I’m a bit scared; I’m afraid I’ll go on a rampage!”

“Oh my! Junior Brother, you’re not a monk, yet at this time you’re worrying about whether to go on a rampage; I’m at a loss for words…”

“Dao being natural, killing so many beings has ramifications; if there are consequences, let them fall upon the Yin Moon Dynasty! That would genuinely harm heaven and earth!”

“Stupid kid, hurry and act; don’t force my hand!” Xu Houde’s expression hardened, ready to spur his lazy junior brother along, but after a short while, he changed his mind.

The sea beasts began their assault on the city, advancing layer upon layer.

Jieshi City naturally had a grand array for protection; however, it had never faced such a terrifying disaster since its construction.

Li Hui took to the air, looked up at the dark moon, his eyes turning cold and fierce as he thought, “The world is in turmoil; starting today, I will focus on refining war talismans and break through all obstructions in the path of the Tao.”

“Kill!” All the practitioners shivered, unable to help but gaze at that ethereal figure in the sky above Jieshi City.

In the next moment, countless spirit talismans appeared, drawn together by the gentle winds, swirling around Li Hui like a ball of yarn. Few noticed that his right arm had vanished, and the Mysterious Pearl was rapidly collapsing under the mass of artifact and treasure fragments.

Suddenly, the air trembled violently; even Jieshi City began to shake. Hundreds of thousands of talisman lights shot forth like arrows, bursting the advancing sea beasts into pieces outside the city with loud explosions.

“How is this possible?”

“What talisman is that?”

Beyond shock, there was nothing but awe. Outside the city, thunderous explosions echoed, creating massive pits over ten zhang wide. What kind of spirit talisman held such power? Middle-grade treasure talismans would scarcely compare.

Xu Houde felt dizzy; he finally understood why his junior brother said there would be consequences like harming heaven and earth! In the instant that many sea beasts fell, their bodies exploded and dealt collateral damage, creating a secondary attack.

Annihilation, total annihilation!

The talisman lights surged outward, wherever they went, life was extinguished.

With that single strike, millions of sea beasts were slaughtered. Yet Li Hui did not cease; he flicked his hand to release more spirit talismans, beginning to circulate around him and form another array.

“Swift!” As those words fell, a solemn and grand atmosphere enveloped the practitioners; the talisman lights shot forth once more, darting away toward the distance amid booming sounds echoing in their ears.

After a moment, thousands of practitioners on the city tower cheered, grateful that Jieshi City had such a powerful practitioner on watch; this talisman method was sufficient to dominate a territory!

Li Hui touched his abdomen, sighing, “After hardship comes happiness! The Myriad Form Purple Absolute God Symbol can finally display its true power. By deploying a large number of cloud-based and qi-based spirit talismans, enhanced by the silver snake bracelet, this is the scene we create—under the Bosa, all sea beasts shall be eradicated. Bring it on! Let the storm come even stronger; killings can bring good fortune. However, controlling the profound qi can be troublesome; I must fully master the Dao Rhythm Residual Talisman and seize various opportunities in heaven and earth!”

“Boom, boom…”

In the distance, more sea beasts gathered, looking to devour Jieshi City, but today a new star was destined to rise on the land of Daxia.

Every time people thought Li Hui had exhausted his spirit talismans, he would erupt again, releasing twenty-three bursts in just four hours. No sea beast dared to attack Jieshi City again; they could not push through. Corpses piled high like mountains, and blood turned into lakes. Before they could scale the mountains to break through, the talisman lights would flash and cause instant death, with bodies exploding in doomed reverberations.

They were scared! No matter how powerful Chu Chu was, or how fierce Chen Nuo Er was, in the face of such astonishing talisman methods, they became overshadowed. The key lay in the sheer number of kills. With just one person holding back the tide, no one else was needed!

Chen Nuo Er’s face turned pale; she suddenly looked into the distance and said, “We have not yet lost. The Bosa stage sea beasts are coming; exterminating them will surely win us this round!”
