Chapter 131 Trump Card (Seeking guaranteed monthly votes)

Upon seeing the "Hundred-Child Mother Yin Fiend Ghost" radiating the pressure of the early Foundation Establishment stage taking shape amidst flesh and resentment, Xia Dong's eyes narrowed, and he did not hesitate at all.

He knew that if he allowed such evil spirits to wreak havoc in the narrow valley, none of the Eagle Wolf Guards behind him would survive, and even Pei Hongling, who had just shown her strength, would surely perish here.

"Brother, you and Hongling should form a defensive formation and protect yourselves!" Xia Dong transmitted his thoughts telepathically.

Immediately afterward, the immense martial energy and blood of the Transcendent Realm within his body suddenly erupted, like a blazing sun igniting in the darkness, instantly drawing the attention of the old wizard and the enormous evil creature.

Xia Dong gripped the rusty wood knife tightly in his right hand and slapped his storage bag with his left. Several specially made blood talismans containing extremely yang blood transformed into streams of light and slammed hard into the old wizard's face.

"Boom!" The blood talisman was blocked in mid-air by the dense Yin energy of death, and exploded into bursts of dazzling blood-red flames.

This provocative act thoroughly enraged the old wizard on the cliff.

"Ignorant brat, you're asking for death!"

Seeing that the hatred had been firmly established, Xia Dong did not linger in the fight.

His fully refined magical power surged wildly, pushing the "Wind Control Technique" to its limit. Without sparing any of his power, he transformed into a blur that was almost invisible to the naked eye, soaring into the sky like an arrow, leading the old wizard and the Mother and Child Yin Fiends straight towards the deeper reaches of the miasma in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

After Xia Dong lured away the strongest enemy all by himself, the suffocating pressure in the deep valley dissipated by more than half.

Zhao Ting, Pei Hongling, and the others felt a sense of relief and immediately organized the remaining elite Eagle Wolf Guards to launch a counterattack.

In mid-air, the wind howled past Xia Dong's ears.

The old wizard stood on the back of the mother and child Yin Sha ghosts, chasing closely behind.

The evil creature was surrounded by churning black energy, like a huge dark cloud.

The old wizard did not rush to unleash the evil spirit to kill, but instead relentlessly pursued Xia Dong like a predator chasing its prey.

In his view, the young man in front of him, who was full of martial arts energy, was just struggling to survive.

He planned to wait until Xia Dong exhausted his magic power and blood energy during his high-speed escape, and then calmly reap the rewards when the opponent was exhausted.

However, Xia Dong, with his early Foundation Establishment stage divine sense, was fully aware of everything happening behind him.

He used a trick to his advantage, deliberately slowing down after a period of frantic speed, and finally crashed down onto a wide open space covered with gravel.

He deliberately gasped for breath, leaning the heavy, rusty woodcutter's knife on the ground, and his aura subsided accordingly.

A black wind howled in, and the old wizard, riding the mother and child Yin Sha ghosts, crashed down at the edge of the open space, exuding death energy.

"Boy, why aren't you running anymore?" the old wizard sneered sinisterly.

His gaze toward Xia Dong was filled with greed, thinking, "This martial arts blood and energy is just right to be the blood food for my treasure."

The old wizard felt the time for the harvest had come, but being cautious by nature, he did not immediately send the Foundation Establishment stage demons to fight.

With a flick of his withered fingers, more than a dozen Qi-refining level witch ghost puppets emerged from his sleeve.

These puppets emitted a teeth-grinding shriek and lunged at Xia Dong from all directions, baring their fangs and claws, to harass and probe him.

Meanwhile, the mother and child Yin Sha ghosts hovered in mid-air, releasing a strong Yin Sha death aura, creating immense pressure from the side, without directly attacking.

As the witch-like puppets attacked, Xia Dong calmly said, "With just these pieces of scrap metal?"

His feigned weakness vanished instantly.

His martial arts energy and blood erupted with a roar, and his materialized martial arts intent condensed around his body.

Instead of retreating, he moved with lightning speed, charging headlong into the horde of puppets.

He didn't even need to use the magic power of a cultivator.

Xia Dong unleashed the "Asura Yin Sha Blade," transforming the heavy, rusty woodcutter's knife into deadly blades in his hands.

The Qi-refining level witch puppet was as fragile as paper in front of his domineering sword energy.

Amidst the flashing blades, a series of rapid sounds of bones shattering and exploding could be heard.

Those puppets that tried to harass Xia Dong couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes before being swiftly and cleanly chopped into pieces.

In just a few breaths, the puppets released by the old wizard were all slaughtered. Xia Dong, holding a wood-chopping knife, stood straight in the center of the open space, his sharp eyes fixed on the old wizard in mid-air.

Seeing the puppet wreckage scattered all over the ground, the old wizard in mid-air turned ashen-faced.

He never expected that this young man could unleash such fierce and ruthless killing techniques.

But he calculated in his heart that such an intense burst of energy would inevitably consume a great deal of qi and blood, and Xia Dong was definitely at his limit at this moment.

We can't give him time to recover!

The old wizard grew anxious and bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the evil creature at his feet.

Nourished by the essence and blood, the "Hundred-Child Mother Yin Fiend Ghost" let out a mournful roar, and like a collapsing black mountain, it crashed down on Xia Dong.

In an instant, the space around Xia Dong seemed to ignite, and dozens of blood-red talismans radiating dazzling light appeared out of thin air, surrounding him like stars around the moon. These were all blood talismans specially made from essence blood and demon beast hides, mainly exorcism talismans and fire-type talismans.

The power emanating from each talisman steadily reached the level of the late stage of Qi Refining!

The old wizard's wrinkled face was contorted with extreme shock.

Dozens of late-stage Qi Refining talismans were activated simultaneously—what a magnificent sight that was! In an instant, the entire dark open space was illuminated as bright as day. The blazing firelight and the pure Yang golden light that exorcised evil intertwined, transforming into a surging ocean of magic, its power reaching its peak.

The old wizard never imagined that Xia Dong was so wealthy.

Even a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining might not be able to amass so many powerful talismans even if they sold everything they owned. And even if they did have that many, a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage simply couldn't activate them all at once with their spiritual sense.

But Xia Dong is a complete freak.

He was a talisman maker with an astonishingly high success rate in creating talismans; his talisman-making skills were even superior to those of many ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

What's even more terrifying is that his divine sense has not only reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but its resilience far surpasses that of other cultivators at the same level.

This extraordinary mental resilience allows him to manipulate so many talismans while maintaining a clear mind and never becoming mentally confused.

In addition, the "Netherworld Seed" within Xia Dong's body was slowly circulating, emitting mysterious fluctuations.

With the precise guidance and harmonization of the talisman seeds, even with so many talismans exploding with attributes, Xia Dong can ensure that the spiritual power between the talismans does not interfere with each other.

"Go!" Xia Dong pointed forward with his fingers like a sword.

Rumble!

Dozens of thick pillars of fire and pure yang golden light slammed into the massive body of the Mother-Child Yin Fiend Ghost like a storm.

Fire magic and exorcism spells are natural counters to such yin and evil creatures. Under such a massive barrage of suppressive spells, the Hundred-Child Mother Yin Fiend Ghost was simply unable to withstand the onslaught.

The mother and child ghosts let out a miserable scream. The yin and deathly aura churning around them melted away like ice and snow in the raging fire and golden light, making a chilling "hissing" sound.

This ferocious beast, in its early stages of Foundation Establishment, was repeatedly defeated under the intense "firepower" of summer and winter, its massive body riddled with holes.

The old wizard, whose mind was connected to the evil creature, was immediately attacked and spat out a mouthful of black blood, utterly horrified.

As the last bit of the talisman's power was exhausted, the firelight on the open ground gradually dissipated.

At this moment, the Hundred-Child Mother Yin Fiend Ghost was charred black all over, its Yin energy was extremely weak, its power was greatly reduced, and even maintaining its form became extremely difficult.

Xia Dong had been waiting for this moment, and he would never give the enemy any chance to catch their breath.

His heart pounded wildly like a heavy drum, and his violent blood surged up his spine like a great dragon, pouring into his arms.

He gripped the heavy, rusty woodcutter's knife tightly with both hands, his mind clear, and unleashed the most powerful move of the Asura Yin Sha Blade—"Yin Sha Sweeping the Netherworld"—to its fullest potential without reservation!

The rusty wood-cutter's knife, which had been dull and lifeless, now exuded a chilling, dark gray aura.

Xia Dong suddenly leaped up, his entire body and the woodcutter's knife in his hand transforming into a streak of gray-black light, descending from the sky and slashing fiercely at the weakened bodies of the mother and child ghosts.

Without any suspense, this strike carried overwhelming power, tearing through Qu Xie's defenses as easily as slicing tofu.

Under the strangulation of the sword energy, the mother and child Yin Sha ghosts no longer had the strength to fight.

At this moment, he grabbed the Hundred-Child Mother Yin Fiend Ghost and pulled it into his body.

Because the Hundred-Child Mother Yin Fiend Ghosts no longer have any fighting power, the Ancient Bronze Bell does not need Xia Dong to control it; it can actively absorb the Hundred-Child Mother Yin Fiend Ghosts.

The old wizard's face turned green when he saw Xia Dong take away the Hundred-Child Mother Yin Sha Ghost.

This was his lifeline, and he couldn't possibly give it up, so he frantically charged towards Xia Dong.

Although Xia Dong had consumed a lot of his energy, his Xuan Yin magic power was still abundant. He directly used the Wind Control Technique to fight the old wizard. When the old wizard ran out of his trump cards, he suddenly unleashed the Sacred Heart Lotus Fire.

This strange fire has a strong restraining effect on evil forces, and it has been nurtured in Xia Dong's dantian with magic power for several years.

Once released, it instantly burned the old wizard's physical body to ashes, and his soul was also severely damaged.

The old wizard's soul tried to escape, but Xia Dong captured it with his Dragon-Capturing Hand and sent it to the ancient bronze bell to keep company with the Hundred-Child Mother-Child Yin Fiend Ghost.

The surroundings finally fell completely quiet, with only the lingering stench of burning food remaining as a testament to the horrific scene that had just unfolded.

Without hesitation, Xia Dong first took the other party's storage bag, and then immediately used a concealment talisman and an invisibility talisman to find a hidden cave nearby. After confirming that he had not been spied on along the way, he found that he had not been spied on.

He solemnly took out the only high-grade spirit stone he had on him from his storage bag, and then took out more than a dozen mid-grade spirit stones.

The souls of high-level evil creatures and old wizards are the perfect materials for refining the Soul Elixir.

Xia Dong frantically drew the vast and pure spiritual energy within the spirit stone into his sea of ​​consciousness, nourishing the ancient bronze bell with all his might. With the aid of abundant spiritual energy, the ancient bell emitted a simple and ancient Daoist sound, quickly beginning to refine the spoils within its belly. Before long, three "Yin Spirit Pills" emitting an alluring fragrance appeared in Xia Dong's hand.
