With a light “ding”, a layer of golden light radiated from Bai Xiaotian’s left lower leg. The three bone needles that struck could not penetrate even a hair’s breadth, as if they were jabbing into metal and stone.
However, the force contained in the bone needles was not negligible and sent Bai Xiaotian staggering to the side, taking a couple of steps.
A yellow glow emanated from the very spot where Bai Xiaotian had just stood, revealing a yellow talisman imprinted with intricate runes, barely inferior to the Escape Talisman.
“Ground Binding Charm! You brat, you dare to trick me!”
Upon recognizing the charm, Gu Hualing straightened her brows, her bone wings twitched, ready to take off. Suddenly, a slender crimson light streaked swiftly towards her from the side, heading straight for her neck with a snake-like strike.
A purple light flashed in Gu Hualing’s hand, and the three-pointed claw thorns appeared out of nowhere. With a quick sweep around her neck, they sent the crimson light flying with a loud “bang”. It was a red short cone, emitting a red light.
More than ten feet away, Shen Luo jolted his arm, which was forming a spell, and received the dark red short cone in his palm. He suddenly felt a great force seeping in from the little cone, making his heart churn with blood and Qi.
Gu Hualing, thus delayed, found her lifting motion slowed, but this was enough time for Bai Xiaotian to activate the talisman under his feet.
With a humming sound, the yellow light on the Ground Binding Charm suddenly brightened several times and then melted into the ground like flowing water.
The next moment, countless thin strands of yellow light shot out from the ground within a radius of more than ten feet centered on the talisman, enveloping all three of them, including Gu Hualing.
Shen Luo only felt a sinking sensation in his feet, as if bound by countless invisible ropes, immobilizing him completely despite his best efforts.
Gu Hualing’s feet were also enveloped in yellow light. Although she wasn’t in the center of the prohibition, her pretty face turned a fair shade of red as she could not move for a moment, her hands extremely busy forming spell signs, seemingly about to cast some kind of technique.
A sharp whistle sounded.
A red sword shadow whizzed through the air, slicing towards Gu Hualing’s legs. Amidst the red shadow could be seen a copper coin flying sword. It was Bai Xiaotian’s move from the other side.
Not only that, his figure followed the red sword shadow and darted out to attack Gu Hualing directly, apparently unaffected by the yellow glow on the ground.
Shen Luo, with his sharp eyes, noticed a Yellow Talisman each affixed to Bai Xiaotian’s ankles. It suddenly dawned upon him.
Gu Hualing’s face turned cold, she halted her casting process and swung one hand outwards.
“Shoop!”
The three-pointed claw thorns flew out of her hand, drawing a purple arc in mid-air before releasing a clang as it parried the Copper Coin Flying Sword.
By this point, Bai Xiaotian was already close by and swung his sleeve.
Four streaks of fire sword Qi shot out, each one exuding a force no less than the Copper Coin Flying Sword. They targeted the vital areas all over Gu Hualing’s body.
Although Shen Luo couldn’t move from his spot, he yet again commanded the crimson short cone to shoot towards Gu Hualing’s back. Then, with two “crackling” sounds, two white thunder lights produced by the Small Thunder Talismans tore through the air, striking at Gu Hualing from front and back.
At the same time, the lake surface nearby started to churn, and a big sea turtle poked its head out, shooting a water arrow towards Gu Hualing.
Thus, Gu Hualing found herself surrounded by attacks from all directions, instantly plunging into dire straits.
Gu Hualing’s charming face finally lost her smile, but there was no panic. Instead, she opened her eyes and spat out.
A ball of white light flew out from her mouth, breaking a small jade emblem with a “bang”.
Eight large runes emerged, bright white lights revolving around this girl,, forming a light white shield, protecting her within..
A series of “boom”and “boom” muffled sounds rang out in an explosion!
Sword Qi, short cone, thunder and lightning, water arrows all hit the white light shield. The shield just shook slightly a few times, then immediately stabilized.
Bai Xiaotian stopped in his footsteps, his face full of surprise. A touch of depression flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes.
“I originally planned to leave you guys alive, in recognition of our shared past. Now that I have wasted a Jade Spirit Talisman, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Gu Hualing roared, her hands sealing rapidly.
Behind her, the bone wings suddenly emitted a great purple light. Among the “splashing” sounds, tiny sparks of purple phosphorus flew out from above, then suddenly ignited into groups of purple phosphorus fire suspended mid-air. This was the Demon Bone Phosphorus Fire.
Gu Hualing waved her hands, sending all the Demon Bone Phosphorus Fires flying out like raindrops in all directions.
Bai Xiaotian, knowing full well the power of this demon fire, quickly retreated, effortlessly taking Shen Luo with him. After a few jumps, they got out of the envelope range of the ground-binding charm.
When the Demon Bone Phosphorus Fire fell on the ground nearby, it continued to blaze fiercely. Under the lick of the flames, the sound of “sizzling” was high, and large pieces of yellow light were quickly burned and dissolved.
The yellow light of the Ground Binding Charm was visibly diminishing at an observable rate, with the charm set to completely vanish in no time.
As soon as Shen Luo left the coverage zone of the Ground Binding Charm, he felt a sudden relief in his feet. He took a leaping step into the lake, first summoning Little Gui, and then pressing one hand on the lake water. He quickly operated the Art of Spirit Communication, attempting to summon the late-stage Qi Refining Aquatic Clan demon he had just subdued.
“Grain Avoidance cultivators are indeed formidable, it appears I must use this move.”
After Bai Xiaotian muttered to himself, he suddenly raised his hands high, took a circle step in the same place, and then bowed to the ground, shouting loudly: “Today, I shall open the heavens, call forth the Six Ding and Six Jia, twelve helmets atop the head, twelve circles of golden armor on the body, where are the various generals now, assist your disciple in showing his might, respectfully summon General Jin Bian of the First Earthly Branch!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi above his head immediately started to churn, a group of golden clouds quietly appeared mid-air, and then a stream of golden light shot out from it, landing on Bai Xiaotian.
Bai Xiaotian’s whole body was immediately covered in a layer of substantial bright golden light. With a slight swirl, it transformed into an illusionary image of a golden-armored god clinging to his body.
This god had a clear appearance, with peculiar long beards at his five pressure ports. The peculiarity was that each of his eyes had a small hand growing out of them, and his hands each held a golden-colored giant mace.
The moment the golden-armored god was attached, Bai Xiaotian’s cultivation level immediately increased, reaching the realm of the Grain Avoidance Stage.
The Copper Coin Flying Sword also returned to his hand at this moment.
The illusionary mace in the Golden Armor God’s hand immediately enveloped the Copper Coin Flying Sword. The sword light and mace shadow fused together, with a “clang” sound, it transformed into a crimson giant mace.
“So, this is the God-descent Technique…” On the surface of the lake, Shen Luo, upon seeing Bai Xiaotian’s transformation, marveled in secret.
His summoning technique was also completed. The water in front of him churned into a vortex, a black tunnel emerging from the water. A misty blue Demon Qi gushed out from it, and then an orange-red half-human half-shrimp figure jumped out from the tunnel, landing in the lake with a “plop”. It stood on the water as if it had performed the Water-Stepping Art.
