Chapter 254 - Chapter 254: Chapter 239 Dark Fog (2/2)

“`

Having said that,

Liu Yiyuan, regardless of the consequences, took the Flying Sword, cut open his wrist, and, using his Spiritual Power, rapidly forced his blood out, flying towards the gourd.

He attempted to hasten the emergence of the dark mist…

It was at that moment…

The lightning conjured by the Extinguishing True Heaven Thunder Talisman struck down again…

The purple lightning, as if controlled by someone, struck directly towards Liu Yiyuan.

A thunderous “boom” resounded, engulfing Liu Yiyuan in its radiant light…

Moments later, the lightning dissipated.

Liu Yiyuan lay weakened on the ground, his White Light Shield gone.

Next to him, the White Jade Pearl had shattered into several pieces and lay discarded on the ground.

Under the assault of the Extinguishing True Heaven Thunder Talisman, this Magical Treasure of a pearl had withstood two strikes of heavenly lightning before finally shattering.

By then, it had fulfilled its purpose.

Liu Yiyuan, looking at the shattered White Jade Pearl, felt immense heartache.

This Magical Treasure, gifted to him by his ancestor, was incredibly precious, and he had not expected it to be destroyed here.

However,

There was no time for him to dwell on it anymore, as the lightning was already gathering above him, preparing to strike once more.

At this moment…

He was devoid of any defenses.

If the lightning were to strike again, he would certainly die.

Despair filled Liu Yiyuan’s heart.

Just then,

An extremely aged voice suddenly appeared.

Both Lin Jing and Liu Yiyuan heard it at the same time.

“Hmm…”

“What a wonderful essence, who has summoned me here?”

Upon hearing the voice,

Both men reacted differently.

Liu Yiyuan’s face first registered shock, then barely concealed delight.

Whereas Lin Jing furrowed his brows.

He looked ahead, above the gourd, where there appeared an aged face made of dark mist.

This…

Was the entity Liu Yiyuan had hoped to summon to oppose him.

Clearly,

Liu Yiyuan had succeeded.

As the voice of the dark mist faded,

The lightning formed by the Extinguishing True Heaven Thunder Talisman struck again.

The dark mist, in the form of a face, looked upwards.

It then dispersed into a massive hand, absorbing the entire force of the lightning.

After blocking the lightning, the dark mist reshaped into the same aged face as before.

“Extinguishing True Heaven Thunder Talisman…”

“Weak, just too weak!”

Seeing this, Lin Jing’s expression darkened, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

The dark mist was terrifyingly powerful,

and it seemed it would be very difficult to deal with.

……

After the dark mist finished speaking,

It looked down at Liu Yiyuan below.

“Was it you who summoned me here?”

“Yes, senior!”

Liu Yiyuan, struggling to stand up straight, bowed to the dark mist.

“You want me to deal with that person across from me, that mere Foundation Establishment ant?”

As it spoke, the dark mist turned its head to look at Lin Jing, who was on guard the entire time.

Then it sneered contemptuously:

“A mere ant!”

While speaking,

The lightning formed by the Extinguishing True Heaven Thunder Talisman began to gather again.

This was the nature of the Extinguishing True Heaven Thunder Talisman.

Due to the enormous power of the lightning it created, it took some time to gather the force of the thunder.

Thus,

It could not form a continuous barrage of lightning as the Five Thunder Talisman could.

The dark mist morphed again into an arm and reached out, directly swatting at the lightning about to fall.

With just one strike…

The lightning vanished in mid-air, even before it could descend.

The dark mist was dreadfully powerful.

……

Lin Jing, however, kept his gaze fixed on the dark mist.

In the moment the dark mist dispersed the lightning,

Lin Jing noticed…

There was a close connection between the dark mist and the gourd.

With every movement of the dark mist, the crimson patterns atop the gourd emitted bursts of red light.

Moreover,

Lin Jing detected that with each attack from the dark mist, the gourd would momentarily absorb a massive amount of Spiritual Energy from the surroundings.

It was as if the dark mist and the gourd were one and the same.
