Feng Jue immediately spotted Gu Qianqiu. His Spirit Body seemed to be poisoned, making it impossible for him to harness his Magical Power to cast strong spells. He could only repel his opponent continuously with Talismans, but even so, he had managed to firmly suppress the other party.

"You from the Hidden Kill Sect really don’t regard me at all, sending just a mere late-stage Foundation Establishment to assassinate me. Your Breaking Technique Cold Poison is strong, able to corrode my meridians and Dao Foundation, making it impossible for me to channel much Magical Power. But I am a Tier Two High-grade Talisman Master with countless accumulated Talismans. Believe it or not, I could crush you to death today with Tier Two High-grade Talismans!" Gu Qianqiu, fuming with anger, threw out another Tier Two Top-Grade Attack Talisman with great reluctance.

Tier Two Top-Grade Talismans are hard to draw, and their materials are scarce, so even Gu Qianqiu feels the pinch.

That’s also why the Hidden Kill Sect sent someone to kill him.

There is a Tier Two High-grade Talisman Master present.

A Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator carrying a Tier Two Top-Grade Talisman can heavily injure even a late-stage Foundation Establishment at crucial moments.

How terrifying is this blessing?

The late-stage Foundation Establishment Evil Cultivator from the Hidden Kill Sect wielding twin dark daggers was surrounded by toxic fog, continually trying to press toward Gu Qianqiu but was suppressed by Tier Two Talismans. However, he wasn’t in a hurry and ignored Gu Qianqiu’s taunts.

He simply defended against the Yin Talisman’s attacks while coldly responding, "The Breaking Technique Cold Poison may only be Tier Two top-grade, but it is the trump card cultivated over a lifetime by the poison cultivators of our Hidden Kill Sect. If not for you having a Tier Two High-grade Treasure Talisman for protection, you’d already be a corpse... However, I’d like to see how long you can hold out."

"Breaking Technique Cold Poison continually erodes your Dao Foundation and meridians once it enters the body until your ability to use the Yin Technique is completely severed. Moreover, the more you use your Magic Power, the faster the corrosion. I just need to wait for the poison to take effect!"

"How long I can hold out, I do not know, but I’m sure it’ll be until reinforcements arrive." Gu Qianqiu smiled dismissively.

The face of the Hidden Kill Sect’s Evil Cultivator turned cold, murderous intent suddenly bursting forth. He no longer spoke and attacked the Tier Two High-grade Yin Talisman with full force, determined to kill Gu Qianqiu even at the cost of injury, seemingly ready for mutual destruction.

After a bout of entanglement, the Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator got closer and closer to Gu Qianqiu. Feng Jue intended to act immediately but stopped when he remembered Han Li’s words.

This Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator’s strength was similar to his, but Han Li said the chance of success for the opponent was very small. In other words, Gu Qianqiu had not only a Tier Two High-grade Treasure Talisman for protection, but he likely had other trump cards.

As time ticked away, when the Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator released the Tier Two High-Grade Poisonous Mist, transforming into a venomous python that could kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, approaching Gu Qianqiu, Gu showed no fear and immediately produced a Tier Two High-grade Attack Treasure Talisman.

The Treasure Talisman was activated.

A burst of azure light suddenly emerged, sweeping across ten thousand feet of land.

The Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator’s face changed drastically. He immediately released the deadly poison accumulated over decades from the poison weapon to fend off the azure light blast from the Treasure Talisman. However, everything in the azure light’s path turned to dust.

With one strike.

The Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator’s trump card was instantly broken, and he was blown back a thousand feet by the azure light’s impact.

His aura instantaneously dropped by half.

Seeing this scene from afar, Feng Jue’s face turned solemn because, in terms of that one Attack Treasure Talisman, if he went to block it, even with all his strength, he would end up like the Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator. Not to mention killing Gu Qianqiu, he might not even escape himself.

"It’s a good thing Brother Han reminded me, or the consequences would be unthinkable." Feng Jue thought to himself, still shaken.

Feng Jue kept a close eye on the Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator and didn’t move again because the Evil Cultivator’s determination for mutual destruction with Gu Qianqiu still lingered. In that case, let the Hidden Kill Sect Evil Cultivator continue to deplete Gu Qianqiu.

Just at that moment, two thick, angry voices suddenly resounded in the Wood Spirit Blessed Land.

"Thieves of the Hidden Kill Sect, how dare you cause trouble here!"

"Brother Gu, we will be there soon, hold on."

The words fell.

Along with the voices came two auras of late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Clearly.

These were two late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators using the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission technique simultaneously.

"This..."

As Feng Jue hesitated about whether to act, the Communication Stone he held suddenly stirred; it was from Han Li.

With a probe of his Divine Sense, Feng Jue was elated, "The target’s strength is already far inferior to yours, you may act at any time. Additionally, two people are on the way to support, one is seventeen hundred miles away, the other two thousand miles, you have one hour."

After putting away the Communication Stone, Feng Jue’s Demon Artifact suddenly came into his hand, no longer hiding, and he charged forward at once.

...

Meanwhile.

Two late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were heading toward the Wood Spirit Blessed Land.

One was the Valley Master of Purple Cloud Valley under Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, an old late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who received teachings from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. Though not the top among late-stage Foundation Establishment, he was definitely in the second tier.

The other was Wu Shaochuan, an Elder in Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, responsible for unifying command and assisting in the war between affiliated and heterodox forces this time.

Though the two were urgent, they were mostly angry, as they viewed it: a mere late-stage Foundation Establishment Evil Cultivator of the Hidden Kill Sect dared to come to assassinate their people. Truly, they knew not heights of the heavens, nor the depths of the earth, nor how to spell death.

As for the situation, they already knew from Gu Qianqiu’s Sound Transmission. Although poisoned by Breaking Technique Cold Poison, he could still hold out for one or two hours. And even if he couldn’t win, he could retreat into the Wood Spirit Blessed Land.

In Wood Spirit Blessed Land, there is an area that isolates the Divine Sense of Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators, which is the core area of the Wood Spirit Blessed Land. Once inside, even Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators could not pursue Gu Qianqiu there.
