Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 269 - 171: Talisman Treasures Face Off! Old Hu!
Then the masked Old Hu, who was chasing from behind, was startled and exclaimed, "There's actually another expert hidden here!"
"Die!"
The opponent's move to divert trouble directly made Lin Chang'an reveal a trace of killing intent.
With a raise of his hand, a sword aura appeared, and the trouble-diverting cultivator shouted in anger:
"I have a big secret, there is a secret realm here..."
Splurt!
Blood splattered as he, being a fugitive in front of two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators' lethal moves, splattered blood on the spot.
In an instant, blood splashed onto the rotting dead leaves, making a dense pattering sound.
This cultivator, in his dying moments, still had a look of disbelief, staring at the person who appeared before him.
"If you divert trouble, you should be prepared to die!"
Lin Chang'an, also in a black outfit and masked, coldly gazed at the person opposite.
Both parties were on guard against each other.
"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation!"
The two exchanged a look, showing hesitation for just a moment before they started to fight.
Although the opponent was dead, the information exposed before dying aroused a killing intent in both of them.
Lin Chang'an cursed inwardly; indeed, someone had discovered this place.
Old Hu, however, was startled; it made sense there were people here.
"This person hid well; if it hadn't been accidentally discovered, we would have been in trouble."
The masked Old Hu secretly sighed with relief; luckily, he was fortunate to have found this person by chance; otherwise, a hidden Foundation Establishment cultivator could have attacked.
Just the thought of it sends shivers down his spine.
"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, even if he is a disciple from a major family or sect, my Hu Family is not lacking in resources either, and the fact that such a dangerous place made the other party react with killing intent upon hearing about a secret realm, is there really..."
Information flashed through Old Hu's mind, and he instantly decided to keep this person, having plenty of ways to find out what secrets there were later.
Likewise, masked Lin Chang'an was secretly shocked during the fight.
This cultivator's cultivation wasn't weak, more importantly, he possessed several spiritual artifacts.
A hammer flickering with fire, a defensive armor on his body, and the shoes he wore were not ordinary items.
"Fellow Daoist, if we continue fighting, it will alarm the swarm of poisonous scorpions within the miasma, and neither of us will be able to leave here."
However, Lin Chang'an spoke of wanting to stop and reconcile, but his hands showed no signs of pausing.
He even secretly activated the Evil Essence Sword Formulas, greatly increasing his power.
The masked Old Hu cursed, "Despicable scoundrel!"
Speaking of stopping, but the actions were getting more ruthless.
Lin Chang'an's pupils glimmered with blood threads, raising his hand as the sword aura turned bloody, greatly enhancing its attack power.
For a moment, the masked Old Hu was beaten back step by step, unable to help exclaiming at the demonic nature of the person.
"You've gone too far, do you really think I have no means?"
In an instant, flames flickered, yet the fight between the two indeed alarmed the hidden swarm of poisonous scorpions here.
A dense cluster of black scorpions crawled out, making one's scalp tingle.
The fight between the two also revealed a corner of the array formation of the relics of a cave dwelling here.
"What is this!?"
The masked Old Hu was even more shocked, widening his eyes; there was actually an array here in the Poisonous Miasma Area of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
What that person said was all true!
Old Hu wasn't stupid; his mind raced, quickly realizing this place might be an ancient cultivator's abode.
No wonder even in such a remote place, there would be demonic cultivators.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing the cave relic being exposed and the poisonous scorpions being alarmed.
Lin Chang'an's eyes flashed with a cold light, raising his hand as several Tier Two Upper Grade talismans flickered.
Firebird Talisman, Ice Talisman, Thunder Shock Talisman, roared incessantly.
Lin Chang'an had many talismans, but the other wasn't lacking either.
After a brief exchange, both had the same thought.
This person had to be either from a major family or a sect!
Resources were indeed plentiful!
Thinking of this, seeing the swarm of poisonous scorpions in the distance, Old Hu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, knowing he had to finish it quickly.
"You'll stay here today!"
Lin Chang'an was also inwardly tense; he indeed underestimated the world; this person was very difficult to deal with.
If it came to a war of attrition, he was confident, but with the poisonous scorpions about to attack. If information got leaked!
Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an's eyes flashed with a cold light.
However, the masked Old Hu moved quicker, suddenly retreating explosively, and before Lin Chang'an could react, a talisman flickering with golden light appeared at the opponent's fingertip.
"Talisman Treasure!"
At the instant this terrifying aura appeared, Lin Chang'an showed a look of shock.
How could he be so unlucky? Last time he encountered Huang Shaohai, and a talisman treasure appeared. How come today he meets a Tribulation Cultivator and again it's a talisman treasure.
"You cowardly scoundrel, to die under the talisman treasure of our Divine Sword Sect is at least..."
Old Hu's eyes burned fiercely, but before he could finish speaking, the person opposite suddenly also revealed a talisman emanating a terrifying aura.
"Talisman treasure!"
Old Hu's eyes widened further. Since when did talisman treasures become so common?
Everything happened in an instant; both of them, thinking of killing and silencing quickly, immediately escalated to pulling out talisman treasures.
Lin Chang'an flipped his palm, revealing a fiery red talisman painted with a small sword, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Don't think you're the only one with a talisman treasure! I am from the Huang family of Li Huo Palace, and today I will show you, this Tribulation Cultivator, what's what!"
Lin Chang'an shouted coldly, showing no guilt for impersonating someone from Li Huo Palace.
Just at that moment when Lin Chang'an was about to manipulate the talisman treasure, the Yellow Dragon Bell at his waist shimmered defensively, yet was caught by Old Hu, his eyes widened instantly.
This Defensive Spiritual Artifact!
Old Lin!
"Don't… Lin..."
"Die!"
In an instant, a compressed crimson sword blade condensed out as the talisman treasure took form.
[Talisman Treasure: Red Sun Sword]
The moment the aura of the talisman treasure spread, even the poisonous scorpion in the distance instinctively panicked in fear.
"Damn it!"
Feeling the terrifying power of the talisman treasure, Old Hu was also driven to tears as he hastened to activate his own talisman treasure.
If he delayed any longer, he'd be too late.
Since when did Brother Lin become a cultivator of Li Huo Palace, how didn't he know!
[Talisman Treasure: Golden Radiance Wheel]
A fiery red hue, a golden wheel, collided in an instant, erupting with intense brilliance.
"Brother Lin, it's me... Old Hu!"
Amid the intense clash of the talisman treasures, Old Hu hurriedly tore off his mask revealing his true face, shouting urgently.
Even Lin Chang'an was stunned, Old Hu!?
When did Old Hu become a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect?
After the fierce clash of the talisman treasures, driven back by the explosive power, the two hurriedly retreated, withdrawing their respective talisman treasures.
Though they recognized each other, they remained far apart.
"Brother Lin, you really hid well."
Across after landing awkwardly was Old Hu, face covered in dust, staring wide-eyed at Lin Chang'an in the distance.
And Lin Chang'an across, having landed as well, gazed back.
The two stared at each other in disbelief.
How could it be so coincidental!
"Why would Old Hu be here? The cave dwelling ruins exposed, plus the talisman treasure only has one use left."
A myriad of thoughts flashed through Lin Chang'an's mind.
Simultaneously in front of him, Old Hu's mind also whirled through several thoughts in an instant.
"Old Lin hid too well, secretly being someone from Li Huo Palace, and having a talisman treasure!"
Old Hu was secretly shocked, while his peripheral glance already assessed the surroundings, preparing to escape at any moment.
His talisman treasure only had three uses left.
"Old Lin, rest assured, I'll keep this a secret."
Just as Old Hu was preparing to retreat, suddenly a terrifying chill swept over, scaring him pale.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
At the fight's onset, Lin Chang'an had secretly transmitted a message to Yun Yao, asking her to come and assist.
The combat between him and Old Hu hadn't lasted long; both initially intended to fight quickly and decisively.
Seeing Yun Yao arrive, Lin Chang'an hurriedly transmitted a message.
"Mr. Yun, it's Old Hu, he has a talisman treasure!"
"Talisman treasure!"
Yun Yao's expression shifted and instantly withdrew her spear, her figure quickly retreated.
The distance compelled her to be cautious; if the opponent deployed the talisman treasure, even she would be in danger.
Old Hu also looked grim; he was trapped between her and Old Lin.
He had just fought Old Lin and realized Lin's strength was no less than his own.
And now behind him came Mr. Yun, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Cold sweat drenched Old Hu; familiar they might be, but given the circumstances, he dared not be careless. A single mistake, and he might not leave here alive.
While activating his Defensive Spiritual Artifact, Old Hu kept tightly grasping his talisman treasure.
Under the massive lure of opportunities in the cave dwelling ruins, even true Dao companions of a hundred years might end up with self-injury and mutual killing.
Moreover, Old Hu knew full well; as it stands, Old Lin and Mr. Yun are together, while he is alone.
