Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 242 - 160: The Investment Is Getting Bigger

"Uncle Lin, help me quickly!"

In a moment of desperation, Old Hu shouted, and Lin Chang'an, from a distance, began to form a hand seal and activate a spell.

[Giant Sword Technique]

Using the top-grade spiritual artifact, the Cyan Scale Sword, as a medium, the power of the Giant Sword Technique was even more formidable this time.

A giant sword, a dozen or so meters long, hovered overhead, emitting an intensely bright light. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The quasi-tier three demon beast Firebird seemed to sense the threat as well, and instinctively let out a sharp cry.

The next moment, swoosh!

The giant sword turned into a stream of light.

The quasi-tier three demon beast Firebird in the air let out an ear-piercing wail, one wing was cut off directly, spilling scorching hot blood.

With this wail, the Firebird began to fall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Hu had no intention to kick someone while they're down; instead, he exclaimed in alarm, "Don't engage in close combat!"

Although the combat power of this type of winged creature drastically reduces after losing its wings and falling to the ground, the struggle of a cornered beast is the most dangerous.

However, just as Old Hu took the opportunity to retreat, Yun Yao, with her face covered by a black veil, would not let go of such a good chance. Her cultivation technique, which harnessed the power of cold and darkness, was just the counter to this fire-type demon beast.

In a raised hand, a silver spear emitting cold air transformed into an ice dragon, roaring as it charged forward.

The demon beast let out a mournful cry as its leader crashed heavily to the ground. With the loss of their leader, the beasts fell into chaos.

The eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators began using the power of the array to slaughter these demon beasts.

Among them, the Cyan-Horned Bull was particularly fierce; while the ones in the sky couldn't be hit, those falling down were directly struck by the bull.

Even a tier two late-stage demon beast would be in trouble under such a hasty blow.

Moreover, these demon beasts did not have the tenacity to fight to the death; once their quasi-tier three leader fell into the encirclement with a mournful cry, the demon beasts scattered like birds and beasts.

"Haha, Uncle Lin, you were hiding deep; that sword aura is really impressive."

After the battle, the somewhat disheveled Old Hu wiped the bloodstains from his body and turned to Lin Chang'an with an excited expression.

He truly did not expect Old Lin to be so fierce.

No wonder he could rely on the softness of late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators; it turns out he has real strength.

"Old Hu, don't say that. The main reason is that this quasi-tier three demon beast was already injured and had been fighting with you all for so long, consuming much energy, and I also took advantage of a sneak attack."

Lin Chang'an waved his hand with a smile, while the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators looked at him with different eyes.

He Yan was particularly amazed; he didn't expect his Uncle Lin not only had talent in talismans but was also so powerful in strength.

And on the side, Ghost Three Blades was secretly astounded, recalling the blood-colored sword aura from earlier, as if thinking of something.

"He Yan, no wonder your Uncle Lin, with a low-grade spirit root, can reach where he is today; daring to cultivate the perilous Evil Essence Sword Formulas, if he weren't strong, it would truly defy logic."

Ghost Three Blades had been through a lot and seen a lot, and he recognized the origin of Lin Chang'an's sword formulas.

He Yan was taken aback when he heard this and soon felt a deep admiration.

Yes, for loose cultivators like them to rise to prominence, there isn't a single chance without taking risks.

"Uncle Lin."

Li Yifan was also shocked that his uncle, known for being a talisman master, displayed such formidable strength today.

"Alright, everyone quickly clear the battlefield; don't let the demon beasts have a chance to sneak attack."

"That's right, Old Lin, we can catch up later."

Everyone hurried to clean up the battlefield, and as the one with the highest cultivation among them, Yun Yao, face covered with a black veil, calmly gave orders.

Yun Yao naturally kept her identity hidden to the outside, and her late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation affirmed her position as their leader.

"He Yan, quickly send a message to Celestial Profound City, informing them the outpost here was attacked by a quasi-tier three demon beast, and the array has been damaged and needs repair."

"Yes!"

The arrays at outposts like theirs are managed by Celestial Profound City.

Otherwise, ordinary cultivators would not be able to obtain arrays, let alone repair them when damaged.

Only forces like Celestial Profound City and Profound Sound Pavilion have such capabilities.

"Haha, a quasi-tier three demon beast; this is the first time Old Hu has seen a complete corpse. What a pity that it didn't have a Demon Core Transformation Pill."

"Old Hu, you're just dreaming; even within quasi-tier three demon beasts, those with a Demon Core Transformation Pill are extremely rare."

Then everyone gathered round, with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators together, along with nearly a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators.

Among them, Shen Lie and Wei Buyi watched their children with great excitement.

Faced with his father's advice, Shen Fan nodded honestly, while Wei Yingying looked at her father with a flattering smile, warmly asking after him.

This scene made quite a few people envious, as many of them had lost important people and could only remember them.

"Come, come, Brother Lin really did significant work this time. Aside from the tier two Firebird he took down, killed by his own spirit pet as well,

though everyone contributed, the greatest credit still goes to Old Lin."

First came the spoils from several tier two demon beasts; everyone began dividing them with smiles, yet all eyes never left the corpse of the quasi-tier three demon beast.

This was the biggest haul.

Even Zhou Bingyun stared straight at the quasi-tier three demon beast.

If not for the beast tide, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators might never slay a quasi-tier three demon beast in their lifetimes.

Such beings are not just hard to find, but too many variables are involved; unlike now, where they can ambush beasts within the array, which certainly gives them a strategic advantage.

"This quasi-tier three demon beast should be handled according to the usual rules. Mr. Yun contributed the most, heavily injuring and then decisively killing the beast..."
