Chapter 1070: Chapter 1004: Obstruction
If it were another Lianxu Cultivator, Xiaoqing might have been a bit nervous, but the three people opposite were from the Zhang Family, whose performance had been fully exposed in the recent battle with the Devil Race.
Of course, looking down on them did not mean he would underestimate them, as that would have been foolish.
Under the influence of Li Zhirui, the majority of cultivators and Spirit Beasts from the Li family, especially those close to him, thoroughly adopted the philosophy of exerting full effort even when hunting a rabbit.
What’s more, the Zhang Family also possessed that Combined Assault Technique, which Xiaoqing could not afford to overlook.
Having already torn their faces apart, Xiaoqing certainly did not hold back, striking first aggressively with countless razor-sharp Wind Blades, slashing toward them with dazzling cyan light.
The trio seemed to have coordinated their strategy ahead of time, with one of them summoning a large black shield, generating a thick black Spirit Light to protect the three of them.
The other two used their Divine Powers, intending to counteract the Wind Blades. Amidst flickering Spirit Light, thick earthen walls emerged from the ground, and countless fiery lotuses appeared, burning fiercely, positioned in front of them.
However, Xiaoqing’s attack exceeded their expectations; the earthen walls couldn’t block the Wind Blades, and quickly shattered, the powerful gusts not only failing to fuel the flames but instead extinguishing the fiery lotuses.
Seeing the Wind Blades about to strike the Defensive Treasure, fear was evident on their faces; Xiaoqing’s strength had far surpassed their initial estimations.
Another hurriedly summoned a Defensive Treasure, a large banner was flown out, numerous Spirit Lights rapidly surged out, forming water curtains in front of the shield.
"With your level of strength, you dare to oppose me! Today, I will make all of you stay!" Xiaoqing’s words brimmed with murderous intent.
The moment he decided to strike back, he had resolved to eradicate these three people to prevent them from returning to the Zhang Family and causing significant trouble for his clan.
The trio sneered, responding, "With you being just a middle-phase, tier-six Spirit Beast, how dare you make such bold claims, let’s see who will fall today!"
Upon speaking, they saw all three simultaneously performing hand seals to unleash their attack.
A deep blue ice sword formed, rapidly flying towards Xiaoqing, while in the sky, numerous fireballs quickly amassed, relentlessly pounding down.
Xiaoqing’s expression remained unchanged, his entire being transformed into a streak of cyan light, perfectly blending into the omnipresent winds with such speed that their attacks couldn’t keep up and were left far behind.
"How did he vanish?!"
In the moment Xiaoqing disappeared, the trio plunged into panic, and it took a while before they spotted him again, unable to lock onto his position.
Crackling—
While the trio was somewhat at a loss, Xiaoqing had already rapidly approached them and launched an attack before they could react, a mighty hurricane howling out, swirling them in its center, mercilessly thrown about by the storm.
The continuous assault of the hurricane caused their Defensive Spirit Light to emit cracking sounds, unable to withstand Xiaoqing’s attack.
Moreover, being right in the Eye of the Storm, they couldn’t stabilize their forms, unable to cast spells to counteract, only persistently channeling Mana into their treasure, trying to withstand the assault this way.
But they overlooked a key point! Generally, a Spirit Beast or Devil Beast at the same Realm has more Mana than a Cultivator.
So, this plan was doomed to fail and would only put them in greater danger.
As time passed, the trio from the Zhang Family realized this fact as their defenses were about to be shattered!
Seeing the dire situation, they were forced to use a tier-seven Spirit Talisman, a golden light flashed, transforming into a large bell that encapsulated the three.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing furrowed his brows, with his strength, it was impossible to break the tier-seven Spirit Talisman in a short time!
If he launched a reckless attack, then the three of them could recuperate under the protection of the Spirit Talisman, potentially reversing the situation to his disadvantage.
But if he refrained from attacking, they might choose to fight while retreating, possibly allowing them to escape!
If such a scenario occurred, it would pose a significant risk to the Li family, which did not possess the strength to contend with the Zhang Family, let alone any deterrent power.
If the Li family had an Integration Cultivator during this time, perhaps the situation wouldn’t have spiraled towards the worst-case scenario.
After contemplating, Xiaoqing could only try to block them with his attacks while also conserving some of his strength, but this alone was hardly effective.
Thus, Xiaoqing’s real plan was to call Li Zhirui to handle these three cultivators by killing them to eliminate any threat to his family’s safety!
Once he resolved this, Xiaoqing exited the hurricane and activated a valuable tier-five Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman!
At this moment, Xiaoqing somewhat missed the Secret Techniques of the Wanling Sutra, which would have allowed him to communicate directly through his Spiritual Soul with Li Zhirui, without needing to waste a tier-five Spirit Talisman.
After activating the Sound Transmission Talisman, Xiaoqing merged back into the hurricane, trying to find their weaknesses, looking to resolve the trio before Li Zhirui could arrive.
The storm never ceased, even incorporating some Gangfeng Law Principles to enhance the storm’s power, crafting an illusion.
