Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Group Beating? Alright!

A figure floated in the air, with branches weaving into a nest at the top, where a Red-Feathered Phoenix rested, its cold eyes gazing down.

Li Hui’s left eye glowed red, while his right eye shone gold as he looked up at the man in the sky. “Oh? An External Transformation, no, a split made by the main body, possessing mid-stage Bosa power. This bird is quite impressive, with an Evil God attached, capable of seizing fortunes, and it actually escaped from the Green Copper Hall.”

The old demon was the servant, while the phoenix was the master.

The Red-Feathered Phoenix raised its neck, speaking in an ancient tone, “I had those four little ghosts test the waters; they indeed found the way. You possess something that can devour spirit treasures, and you have a means to block the Green Copper Hall’s fortune seizure.”

Li Hui suddenly looked at the Divination Master Feng Tianliang, realization dawning. “So that’s how it is! The Green Copper Hall provided you with benefits, so you willingly became its pawns.”

“Ahem, ahem, enough chatter. I know you have the Bean-Sowing Magical Weapons,” Feng Tianliang coughed as he continued, “Three powerful artifacts: the Purple Crystal Shield, which can form a defensive array, solid body refinement, and profound qi cultivation are no weak points. You can tear apart treasures, and any average mid-stage Bosa practitioner is no match for you. Use all your abilities; Lord Longqing suppresses. I don’t believe you can turn the tide.”

At that moment, Qian Duxiu, Liu Xiaomei, and Pan Jinao gathered, surrounding Li Hui again. Around them, black trees sprouted, forming a near-instant forest under the fantastical colors falling from the sky.

With countless treasures, targeting a single practitioner was not difficult for the Green Copper Hall. Today, they had already set up a kill zone here with layered protections.

Li Hui understood that while he regarded the Green Copper Hall as a treasure, they too saw him as a treasure—a big catch. His understanding of the cultivation world deepened; with heaven’s killing intent looming, being overly cautious would be wise.

“Alright, if you want to see my foundation, then come! Let’s have a grand battle.”

“Boom…” Clouds swirled, and figures surged forth!

“Father!”

“Master!”

“Teacher!”

“Hungry, hungry, hungry…”

Yao’er and the Little Ones called out to their father, gaining the support of the Celestial Tree. Their cultivation had grown, comparable to mid-Condense Essence practitioners. The demon embryo Xie Xuan’s training speed surpassed expectations, achieving late Condense Essence.

Guang Jin was also late Condense Essence, but his experience often put Xie Xuan at a disadvantage. The Black Mountain Old Demon, having washed away its malice to balance the Yin and Yang, was currently at the mid-stage Bosa, making it the strongest among the demons.

The disciples naturally called their teacher, grateful for Li Hui’s shelter and guidance, allowing them to cultivate in peace during a time of chaos.

There were also two demon dragons; the growth rate of half-demons was slow, and despite much support, they still could not enter the Condense Essence stage. However, they were massive and had special skills.

Lastly, the accompanying insect demons were not to be underestimated. They were the most terrifying group within the Mysterious Pearl, having bred and managed countless spiritual herbs and fields, each having unique strengths, gathering in large numbers.

Fortunately, Li Hui had opened the barriers of the Mysterious Pearl and had already warned Yao’er to prepare when the urgent moment came.

Aren’t they surrounding him? Good! Let’s see who truly surrounds whom.

With many people joining forces, the Heavenly Talisman Sect established its presence here. What kind of righteous sect leader would turn a blind eye? He didn’t want to resort to a group beating or bully others; from the very beginning, he only viewed the Hongmo Sect as a hypothetical enemy. Nevertheless, one must seize the opportunity to hone their skills. There’s no day like today! It’s just the right time!

Yao’er fixed her gaze on the Dragon Tree Demon, coldly smiling. “The Great Treasure Dragon Celebration Tree’s split branches? Heh, how do you compare to the Celestial Tree? How dare you bully my father! Xie Xuan, cut him!”

“Oh no, sister, his cultivation is too high!” Xie Xuan exclaimed as he saw Yao’er glare, quickly beating his chest and shouting, “Hey, this little tree demon dares to have ill intentions towards my adoptive father! That’s an unforgivable sin! Today, I’ll risk it all with the golden scissors to create an opening, and I’ll make sure to turn you into a bald tree.”

Feng Tianliang was left gaping for several breaths, calculating with his fingers. “Impossible! Why? These demons shouldn’t be this strong, and these people should be mostly dead—they’ve harshly opened their fate paths. Fortune, inheritance, talisman methods—Hundred Tribulation Cultivator, you… you are…”

“Pfft…” Feng Tianliang spat blood and roared, “You are a Hundred Tribulation Cultivator, daring to extend the Celestial Tree’s life, and the demons and people beside you all strive against destiny, defying the heavens.”

“Stop with the nonsensical ramblings!” Li Hui addressed Zhong Yuan and the other disciples, “You focus on the old demon; I’ll deal with him. Surround him and bombard him with talismans.”

“Understood!”

Mingming released Ice Butterflies, her nature in harmony with the butterflies, bravely engaging the already severely wounded Divination Master; this was a task Li Hui had entrusted to her.

Seeing Mingming, the Divination Master fumed, “Another supposed dead person, not only surviving but becoming a Dao body. A Hundred Tribulation Cultivator disrupting the heavenly secrets! Today, I finally understand that what Master said wasn’t false.”

“Kill!”

The Black Mountain Old Demon suppressed Poisonous Peacock Pan Jinao, while Ao Chongguang viewed her as both a delicacy and a chance for advancement.

Guang Jin faced En Tu Huang Qian Duxiu, putting his hands together and saying, “You’re not a demon cultivator, yet you consume demonic flames; that’s not good. Allow me to help purify you.”

The fool Ao Chonglin rushed to the landlady Liu Xiaomei, with dozens of little demons jumping up and down, shouting, “It’s better to harm ten fingers than one. Let’s take out this farm lady first, then concentrate our strength to eliminate the others.”

Li Hui, Yao’er, and Xie Xuan surrounded the Dragon Tree Demon in the center, while the surrounding disciples launched a barrage of spirit talismans. Their strategy was to stack talismans, knowing that their master could link them together to form a talisman formation against their enemies.

“Kill!”

Both sides launched attacks, displaying their methods.

At that moment, the Four Fiends were in deep despair, as the tree demon’s attacks were strategic; each time they retreated, swarms of insect demons would attack, and after wearing them down, they would charge forward again, adept at the essence of a war of attrition.

Unfortunately, they had previously aimed to catch Li Hui off guard, allowing Lord Longqing to set up layers of defenses around them. They never imagined that instead of catching a turtle in a tank, they would turn into the turtle themselves; their mood was understandable.

In this life-and-death moment, the Four Fiends unleashed their ultimate moves; they were not ordinary practitioners and often fought above their levels.

Apologies, but the little demons and disciples under Li Hui were also not ordinary practitioners. Their recovery speed was exceptionally fast, and with spirit talismans in hand, they trained in the exceptional Divine Bird Technique, as well as demonic spells and Dao arts; they all had ultimate moves and assassination weapons, capable of fighting above their level.

In the Heavenly Talisman Sect’s camp, even the wise accompanying insect demons understood how to use talismans, let alone the other demons and disciples. The Mysterious Pearl spirit herb garden produced plenty of materials suitable for talisman-making, like the fully grown blood banana trees and the Celestial Tree leaves, thriving in excellent conditions, with fortune strongly supporting them.

Li Hui had gathered many items from exploring caves, but since he had high standards, he casually flung any unwanted items into the Mysterious Pearl, knowing his disciples would deal with it, enhancing their cultivation and abilities.

In the Xuancha Cave Heaven, the demons and disciples frequently sparred, showcasing the vitality of the sect, with Guang Jin putting in quite a bit of effort.

Everyone had been anticipating practical combat; now that they had caught an enemy, wouldn’t they go all out?

Long ago, there was a saying in Great Daxia: never engage in a magical duel against Heavenly Talisman Sect disciples when they had talismans. The power of talisman methods lay precisely in this principle; through diligent practice, one could fight against the heavens when it mattered most.
