Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 337: Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman
Having only practiced the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique for a few days, Zhang Nianchuan had already mastered the ’Chasing Wind and Moon’ technique within it, showing that his cultivation comprehension was indeed excellent.
Especially after Lu Ping bestowed upon him that Sword Dao Talent, his future achievements in the Sword Dao would be even more remarkable.
Under Zhang Nianchuan’s command, the Cyan Bamboo Sword transformed into a streak of light, cutting straight towards the Puppet Beast.
The majestic sword power, under the impetus of the profound technique of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, had reached the peak of Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer with this strike, enough to pose a threat to the Puppet Beast.
Even though this Puppet Beast lacked intelligence, it still had an instinctual combat response.
Faced with the slashing of the Cyan Bamboo Sword, the Puppet Beast did not exhibit much panic.
Its expression remained calm, neither sad nor joyful.
Bang!
It swung the long spear in its hand to meet the Cyan Bamboo Sword, thinking it could intercept the sword’s strike. Unexpectedly, it only managed to stop the tip of the spear at the sword’s right edge.
A weak spray of sparks dispersed.
Driven by the "Chasing Wind and Moon" technique, the speed of the Cyan Bamboo Sword was incredible, making it impossible for the Puppet Beast’s spear to intercept.
The Cyan Bamboo Sword’s attack trajectory shifted slightly, then continued forward, with a bang, striking the body of the Puppet Beast, right on its chest.
Such an offensive was enough to slay a cultivator of the same tier.
Even with the Puppet Beast’s strong defenses, a sword mark as thick as a finger appeared on the targeted spot, visible to the naked eye.
But that was all.
"This..."
Despite the damage to the Puppet Beast’s defense with one sword strike, it was not enough to genuinely harm or slay it. Zhang Nianchuan’s pupils shrank, feeling a bit surprised.
The defense was too formidable.
But upon reflection, the Puppet Beast was once a genuine Foundation Establishment Puppet, a level beyond himself as a Qi Cultivator.
Now, his ability to contend with it was due entirely to the opponent’s significantly reduced strength, giving him an advantage.
Failing to slay it with one sword? Just strike a few more times, no need to be disheartened.
"Retrieve!"
With a clear shout, Zhang Nianchuan summoned the Cyan Bamboo Sword back, making it turn mid-air, tracing a beautiful cyan arc.
In the blink of an eye, the Cyan Bamboo Sword returned to hover in front of Zhang Nianchuan.
Meanwhile, the other three Puppet Beasts were not just standing by idly.
With expressions blank like machines, they swung their cold, long spears, the tips shining with a chilling gleam, aiming directly at Zhang Nianchuan.
Despite facing an attack from three sides, Zhang Nianchuan remained unruffled, manipulating the Cyan Bamboo Sword in front of him, swiftly intercepting the nearest spear.
Then, a golden barrier enveloped him, firmly protecting him from the other two spear attacks.
"Tier Two High-Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact."
Standing quietly while observing Zhang Nianchuan’s actions, Lu Ping’s eyes lit up as he paid attention to the defensive artifact "Golden Flow Shield" Zhang Nianchuan was employing.
A Tier Two High-Grade artifact, this was already the highest tier a Qi Cultivator could wield.
Zhang Nianchuan’s equipment was not weak.
His opponents were no ordinary foes, either.
Whether or not to assist Zhang Nianchuan wasn’t a hard choice for Lu Ping.
The system had already suggested lending a hand to Zhang Nianchuan; his Reputation Points were still sufficient, and Lu Ping had no intention of saving a mere amount of points and leaving Zhang Nianchuan in danger.
Accessing the System Mall, Lu Ping searched and found several Two-Star Tier talismans.
Among them were the [Two-star Li Fire Celestial Sword Talisman] and [Two-star Exorcism Divine Thunder Talisman].
The effects of these talismans had been used previously, no need to elaborate.
After a quick glance, Lu Ping turned his attention to the newly appeared Three-star Talismans.
[Three-star Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman].
[Three-star Profound Fire Demon Refining Talisman].
These two Three-star Talismans had appeared during the last mall refresh.
Their exchange price was 200 Reputation Points each.
Their effect was to directly damage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
When used properly, these talismans could kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Though using them against four Puppet Beasts might seem excessive, perhaps a Two-Star Talisman would suffice.
But since there were Three-Star Talismans, and the [Three-star Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman] appeared twice, Lu Ping decided to test the actual power of this talisman.
The Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman, with a name like that, clearly was a strong offensive talisman, and its power needed no further explanation.
Spending 200 Reputation Points, Lu Ping exchanged for a [Three-star Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman] and held it in his hand. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Nianchuan, step back a little."
With the talisman in hand, Lu Ping simultaneously used his Communication ability to inform Zhang Nianchuan, instructing him to prepare his defenses to avoid unwanted damage.
Who knew just how powerful this talisman could be?
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Lu Ping’s transmission, Zhang Nianchuan, amidst battle, was initially startled and instinctively glanced around to see if other cultivators were present.
But it was just a momentary confusion as he quickly realized, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This is... the Ancestor’s voice?!"
Having previously heard Lu Ping’s communications, Zhang Nianchuan recognized it immediately this time.
Cultivators have excellent memories.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
With the Ancestor’s instructions, there was nothing he couldn’t do. As Zhang Nianchuan nodded repeatedly, his body swiftly retreated, increasing the distance by more than two zhang from the Puppets.
"Let me lend you a hand."
With another transmission, Zhang Nianchuan saw a black talisman materialize in the air before him, hovering as if held by some invisible force.
This scene was essentially Lu Ping manifesting the Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman in his hand.
It was in his hand now.
Such a talisman could be directly triggered and used.
Whoosh.
Upon activation, ripples of runes emanated from the talisman, charging up this divine sword attack.
Under the watchful eyes of Lu Ping and Zhang Nianchuan, the black talisman burst into flames, burning swiftly and releasing a golden sword-shaped energy as the flames extinguished.
This was a golden long sword, approximately the size of an ordinary Flying Sword, exuding a fierce, overwhelming sword Qi to its surroundings.
The Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman, known for its potent attack power, was indeed a weapon against Puppet Beasts.
"Break!"
Lu Ping wielded the Divine Sword Armor-Breaking Talisman, launching a strong attack on the nearest Puppet Beast.
