Talisman, Sword Slices through Golden Core_3

Translator: 549690339 I

Kill Soul-suppressing Talisman.

Even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, if careless, could perish.

Facing life and death, he no longer considered whether using the Spiritual Talisman was too wasteful.

The talisman burned out, Han Yi was shocked and desperately gathered mana, condensing a second Wind and Fire Shield. The double Wind and Fire Shields still failed to reassure him.

The next instant.

An invisible wave spread out from the talisman, entering Han Yi’s Sea of Consciousness Space almost instantly, giving him no time to react.

The next moment.

This invisible wave, like an immense sledgehammer, directly smashed into Han Yi’s Divine Soul, shattering it in an instant.

Han Yi, who controlled the sword, suddenly went dark in his eyes and crashed down.

At the same time, the black bead suspended at the top of his Sea of Consciousness Space was also attacked. The bead trembled violently and underwent an even more violent change than when it absorbed the Chaotic Divine Evil Poison.

It looked like the black bead had been stimulated somehow. Half of it suddenly flashed white, but just as it was about to change back to black, it stopped.

As the color of the bead changed between black and white, the mysterious wave that entered the Sea of Consciousness Space was instantly absorbed. Then, half of the black bead instantly turned white.

The black bead transformed into one side white and one side black, looking like a half-black and half-white eye at first glance.

But this situation lasted less than a moment, as the white color couldn’t be sustained and was suddenly replaced by black, reverting to its original state. After that, there were no more anomalies.

Yan Bu, who was a hundred meters away with more than half of his body destroyed, trembled as he saw Han Yi fall into the void, finally feeling relieved.

A third-stage mid-quality Spiritual Talisman, used to kill a small Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, was overkill, but he didn’t regret it.

Earlier, he was almost killed himself. Although this guy was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was incredibly strong and had abundant resources. Two third-stage spiritual talismans were used from the get-go, almost capsizing the ship in the gutter.

Despite the relief, Yan Bu didn’t back down.

He threw the short sword in his hand, following Han Yi as he fell, intending to behead him.

Only when Han Yi’s head was cut off would his restless heart be at ease.

It was a habit he had developed as a killer.

However.

The next moment.

Han Yi, who was falling into the void, suddenly opened his eyes, shining with a sharp light.

The four swords, which had been bombarding the formation barrier, had also fallen, but after Han Yi opened his eyes, the Kunwu Sword trembled violently and rose at an even faster speed than the falling short sword.

In an instant.

The two swords crossed each other, and the ascending Kunwu Sword was faster than the falling short sword. It appeared in Yan Bu’s eyes first.

The joy in Yan Bu’s eyes hadn’t faded, but it had already solidified, fear surfacing on his face.

With a whoosh, the Kunwu Sword appeared ten meters above him in a flash, as if teleporting.

In that instant, it pierced through his brow, then turned around and slashed down with incredible force, as if an executioner stood above him, using the sword as an axe for the horizontal chop.

With a splatter!

In mid-fall, Han Yi dodged the fast, but unmanned short sword with a flicker, then quickly ascended.

Bang.

Although Yan Bu was dead, the Spirit-killing Illusion Array hadn’t dissipated. Han Yi crashed into the barrier, shaking the already weakening formation but failing to break through.

Han Yi pulled out the Demonic Dagger from his waist and furiously slashed, making a gap in the array. Then, he broke into it.

As Han Yi entered the array, Yan Bu’s Divine Soul fled from his body, as ephemeral as it looked. It was about the same size and shape as his physical body.

Without any hesitation or pause, Han Yi performed a soul-transforming attack. He launched the Divine Soul Secret Skill: Heaven and Human Five Decays three times in succession, striking Yan Bu’s fleeing Divine Soul.

By the time his Divine Soul had reacted, the manifestations of the Five Decays had already occurred.

“This is…Heaven and Human Five Decays?”

“No, it’s Divine Soul Five Decays. You, you, you are from Soul Hall?”

“No!!”

Deeper fear suddenly emerged in Yan Bu’s Divine Soul’s eyes. Driven by instinct, he turned and fled without hesitation.

However, he collided directly with the not-yet-dissipated killing array, which meant his Divine Soul was bounced back. Under the impact of this collision, the shaky and out-of-control killing array completely disappeared.

The bounced back Divine Soul wanted to escape but it suddenly stiffened. It began to melt slowly from its feet to its head, and then finally vanished into nothingness.

His soul shattered and scattered.

At this moment.

Yan Bu’s short sword happened to fall on the trapped Immortal Boat below, with a crisp “dung” sound.

His headless body and decapitated head, together with the main formation disc in his hand, had plummeted for more than eighty meters. But they were not in the same direction as the short sword. According to their trajectory, they shouldn’t fall into the Immortal Boat but directly into the woods below.

Han Yi did not relax, his face still solemn as he stood in the void, his golden eyes scanning every inch of the surrounding area for anomalies within a few kilometers.

Four breaths later, a heavy thumping sound came from the forest below, nearly a thousand meters away.

One minute later.

Only after Han Yi confirmed there were no more abnormalities did he land abruptly on the Immortal Boat, without touching the fallen sword.

Then.

He broke the Trapping Spirit Talisman that had trapped the Immortal Boat and controlled it to land below, settling on top of the woods. Then, using Sword Control, he descended and found Yan Bu’s fallen body.

Strictly speaking.

This was the first Golden Core cultivator he had killed head-on, and furthermore, it was a Middle Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

Han Yi didn’t have time to think more. He collected the assassin’s Qiankun Ring and the palm-sized main formation disc that had fallen next to it. After inspecting Yan Bu’s body again and finding nothing else, he quickly controlled his sword, flashing around to collect the eight formation discs scattered within a range of about three hundred meters, and then returned to the Immortal Boat.

The Immortal Boat started with a rumble.

This time.

He did not dare to be careless, with his full spiritual senses opened, traveling even faster than when he was rushing to Jinyun Immortal City last time, about thirty percent faster than his normal speed of controlling the Immortal Boat.

Under normal circumstances, he would control the Immortal Boat with some reserve, never going all out. Only in special situations would he travel like this.

After officially crossing the border between Qianzhou and Shu State and stepping into Shu State, Han Yi did not relax at all. Traveling at full speed for another seven days, he arrived back at the Xuandan Sect three days earlier than initially planned.

Upon his return, he landed directly at the Azure Dragon Palace and entered his private chamber without saying a word, closing the door and activating the formation.

Han Yi sat in his quiet chamber, his face not showing any signs of relaxing, but rather a look of solemn concentration.

He focused his mind on his Divine Soul within the Sea of Consciousness Space and looked at the suspended black bead in the Sea of Consciousness.

In the fierce fight with Yan Bu, the most dangerous part was the eerie Spiritual Talisman. That talisman was actually extremely rare, targeting the Divine Soul.

When that talisman fell into the Sea of Consciousness Space and his Divine Soul was shaken, it was directly shattered.

This was the reason Han Yi fell down in that instant, losing control of his body.

The next moment, however, he reopened his eyes as his Divine Soul reassembled.

The most significant event that occurred within the Sea of Consciousness Space at this time was the black bead suspended in the air above.

That Divine Soul-targeting talisman shattered Han Yi’s Divine Soul, and if it wasn’t for the black bead absorbing the subsequent surge, Han Yi would have hardly been able to reassemble his Divine Soul. That surge was like a heavy hammer, suppressing his Divine Soul even after it had been shattered, making it difficult for him to reassemble his Divine Soul.

In this battle, the most perilous part was this very Spiritual Talisman.

Only when the surge was absorbed by the black bead could Han Yi instantly reassemble his Divine Soul, and he saw only the moment when the half-white, half-black bead transformed back into a black bead. He did not notice any other changes beforehand.

So.

As soon as he returned to the Azure Dragon Palace and confirmed that he was completely safe, his first priority was to check the black bead in the Sea of Consciousness.

After an entire quarter of an hour, Han Yi opened his eyes, revealing a puzzled expression..
