Chapter 478: Inside and Outside the Well
This was a very powerful talisman . In an instant, the temperature inside the house had dropped drastically .
Xia Hou's eyebrows were dyed with frost . The surface of the armor inside his coat had also begun to freeze . For such a strong leader at the Peak state of Martial Arts, it was difficult to cause him direct harm in spite of the strong cold talisman .
He frowned slightly, and the frost on his eyebrows broke . Then he took a step forward and the thin ice on his armor also broke and fell to the ground .
At the very least, Xia Hou, in that instant, needed to condense the Psyche Power of the Qi of Heaven and Earth in his body . He could no longer rely on his powerful body and fists as he had before .
The battle at the lakeside house had not yet come to an end . In the next moment, countless yellow Fu papers were sent out from the common corners of the house .
Thick yellow fu papers were fluttering and dancing . They were as dense as snowflakes falling from the roof opening, swirling around Xia Hou's body .
As the fluctuating waves of Psyche Power came from somewhere unknown, the yellow Fu papers that fluttered like snowflakes were triggered one by one, turning them into imaginary ones or talismanic streaks of smoke .
Then, the very first symbol that had triggered the talismanic effects drove the unmarked Fu papers to flutter . The yellow paper streamed into the lakeside house, sprinkling like a waterfall, as if every unrestrained spurt was illuminating the night sky .
This picture was very beautiful and shocking . The Fu paper was so precious . Who had seen such a large number of Fu papers at the same time in the entire wartime history of cultivation?
Immediately afterward, more Fu papers were stimulated and countless talismanic paths were entangled together, tearing the Qi of Heaven and Earth around them and turning them into countless turbulence .
The turbulent primordial Qi was terrible and the faint talisman that was mixed in the turbulence of the cutting s.p.a.ce seemed to have some special power .
Xia Hou stood in the midst of this talismanic ocean storm, standing in the swirling whirlpool of the Qi of Heaven and Earth . The emotions on his face were complicated, both somewhat sad and angry .
As he clearly remembered that this was the secret method of his most loyal subordinate, Guxi, he did not antic.i.p.ate that Ning Que would use this skill in tonight's battle .
The cold snowy wind, violent night wind, burning flames, suffocating wetness, and various completely different talismanic effects were kneaded into one place by an invisible hand . There was no reason but, nevertheless, it was that terrible .
Xia Hou defiantly clenched his fists, and the already ripped coat on his body shredded and flew away, exposing a new armor inside . It was followed by an extremely forceful Psyche Power that was willing to extract what he needed from the torrent of the Qi of Heaven and Earth and condense it into his body, forming an extremely st.u.r.dy invisible suit of armor .
The invisible armor of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, together with his visible metal armor, protected him from the talismanic ocean windstorms and turbulent primordial Qi .
Xia Hou took a step and walked between the yellow Fu papers that filled the sky . The violent talismanic power kept hitting his body, giving a squeaky muttering or a sharp cutting sound .
Under the talismanic attack, the armor on his body was sometimes covered with a thick layer of cold ice, and sometimes it was dazzling as if it had been burning for seven days and seven nights .
In order to resist this talismanic ocean, his Psyche Power was slowly and irreversibly consumed, but the expression on his face was still unchanged and his footsteps remained stable .
Xia Hou was very clear that Ning Que was the successor of Master Yan Se and was seen as the future Divine Talisman Master by the common people, so he was sure of what he would face in tonight's battle .
But the number of Fu papers that Ning Que had prepared was far greater than what he had calculated beforehand . Even more unexpected was that he had used all of the Talisman Taoism tactics at the start of the battle . A Talisman Master needed to touch the Psyche Power and the distance that the Psyche Power could communicate was congenitally limited . At this time, the lakeside house was filled with fluttering Fu paper, which could only mean that Ning Que was inside the house .
Xia Hou thought that this sort of action by Ning Que was rather confident, very proud, arrogant, and idiotic . Any cultivator who engaged with a mighty leader at the Peak state of Martial Arts but did not try to pull away was an idiot .
Since Ning Que was on the lakesh.o.r.e, he was not in a hurry to break away from these talismanic sea storms, and he allowed these storms to constantly consume his Psyche Power . He also wanted to find Ning Que and kill him in one fell swoop .
He continued to walk forward and did not see any movement . An ash-colored wall collapsed in front of him with a loud crash . He looked into the darkness of the night and at the faintly visible lake willows in the south and deridingly said, ”It's not a Divine Talisman, so how did you hurt me? Since you are eager to die, you will die . ”
Yanming Lake was irregular, and the west coast of the lake was relatively narrow and far away . It was a shallow lake and some people had built a wooden bridge over it to admire the waterweeds .
When it was cold in winter, the wooden bridge was full of acc.u.mulated snow . The water under the bridge condensed into solid thick ice and the green, silk-like waterweeds were no longer visible . Only a few thickets of yellow and white reeds danced in the wind .
In such cold weather, the imperial court sealed off the Yanming Lake area . So, naturally, there were few tourists . However, several people divided by the two ends of the bridge gazed at the west of the lake with varying expressions .
Some of cyan taoist robes were loose and made whizzing sounds in the blizzard . Ye Hongyu looked at the rich display of light from the lakeside house in the distance and was affected by the talismanic storms there . His eyes revealed a slightly different color .
She had lived in the house for a long time, but it was only at that time she learned what devious tricks Ning Que had played in the house and how many horrible Fu papers he had hidden there .
Tao Addict was an extremely confident person, but she also had to admit at this time that if Ning Que used these talismanic sea storms to deal with her, she would inevitably be embarra.s.sed to the utmost degree .
At the end of the wooden bridge, Chen Pipi held an oilpaper umbrella in one hand and Tang Xiaotang's little hand in the other . He looked at the distant light s.h.i.+ning from the west, and the countless yellow papers that kept dancing like waterfalls . He was shaken as he said, ”Everyone knows that Youngest Brother is stingy, so n.o.body could have thought that he would show such extravagant largesse tonight . ”
Tang Xiaotang's hand was a little cold . She was worried about the current situation of her friend Sangsang and was shocked at the impact of those Fu papers on the lake sh.o.r.e . She murmured, ”Formal talisman is such a terrifying thing . ”
On the edge of the cliff of Yanming Lake's north sh.o.r.e, Ning Que opened his eyes and looked at the silver-colored Fire Fu paper storm on the house across the lake, listening to the faint sounds of collapsing walls and flying tiles .
