Chapter 765: Saintess Hunt_3

Li Ji’an’s heart sank completely.

The Teleportation Talisman was of no use, and the retreat was blocked by the Purple Abyss Array. Now, trapped by this man and bird, any amicable resolution was impossible.

The most critical point was that he already had a measure of the foundation of the One Realm and the power of the Cangyuan Holy Land.

On this occasion, that Cangfeng True Monarch was lured away, giving him a chance to flee. If that True Monarch were to pursue him personally, there would be no chance of escape.

Therefore, this time he had to escape.

With the Domain Grand Array present, his only hope rested on the Saintess before him.

“Capture this woman first.”

A trace of determination flashed in Li Ji’an’s eyes.

After activating an Illusion Talisman, he flew away once more.

This valley was complex in terrain, with towering cliffs on both sides and only a narrow passage in the middle, making it an ideal place to set traps.

No longer hesitating, he flew quickly, his left hand swiftly forming techniques, silently placing one talisman after another on the cliffs on either side of the valley.

These were his accumulations from years in the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, and many were Tier Three Early Stage obscure Spirit Talismans, nearly obsolete but now quite useful.

“Hmph, don’t resist futilely anymore, surrender and return to the Holy Land with me, Saintess.”

The Illusion Talisman only blocked the Cangyue Saintess for three breaths before she rapidly pursued again.

The seven-colored Luan bird flapped its wings, chasing after Li Ji’an, completely oblivious to the hidden dangers in the valley.

Li Ji’an retreated to the depths of the valley, seeing the seven-colored Luan bird had entered within his trap’s range, his eyes flashed coldly.

“Now is the time!”

He suddenly turned, raising his right hand high, and unleashed a Technique.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the cliffs on either side of the valley, countless talismans exploded simultaneously, fire, thunder, and toxic fog instantly filled the entire valley.

The seven-colored Luan bird, caught off guard, was hit hard by the fire and thunder, letting out a painful screech.

The most crucial point was that the dense toxic fog was precisely its weak point, as it had no resistance to toxins.

Almost instantly, the toxic fog eroded its feathers, showing colorful corrosion.

“Luan!”

Cangyue Saintess’s face changed, and she immediately commanded her magical power, enveloping the Luan bird in a light blue water curtain to clear away the toxic fog.

“You dare set a trap in secret!”

Cangyue Saintess glared at Li Ji’an, eyes filled with murderous intent.

“All’s fair in war, you were simply too complacent.”

Li Ji’an sneered, ignoring the Saintess’s anger, as he activated a Tier Three Advanced Nine Heavens True Flame Talisman.

A Tier Three Advanced Spirit Talisman, comparable to a full-force strike from the Late Period Core Formation, was lethal to both the Cangyue Saintess and the Tier Three Great Demon.

Moreover, the seven-colored Luan bird, having just been eroded by the toxic fog, would surely find it hard to resist.

“Bold!”

Feeling the power of the Nine Heavens True Flame Talisman, Cangyue Saintess’s expression changed sharply, and she instantly shielded the Luan bird in the process of toxin clearing with a water escape.

“Boom!” There was no surprise that her casual shield couldn’t withstand the strike of the Nine Heavens True Flame Talisman.

The Nine Heavens True Flame broke through the shield, hitting the seven-colored Luan bird.

“Shriek~”

The seven-colored Luan bird let out a mournful screech, the True Spirit Yin Water on its wings not only failed to extinguish the Nine Heavens True Flame but was burned even fiercer by it, with large patches of feathers falling off.

“Courting death!”

The Cangyue Saintess saw this and was extremely anxious.

The seven-colored Luan bird was her most effective Spirit Pet, and if anything happened to it, it would be a huge loss for her.

At this moment, she no longer held back, her jade hand flipped, and a clear long sword appeared in her palm.

“Today, you must be slain!”

The Cangyue Saintess cried out, the Cangyuan Sword in her hand bursting with brilliant blue light, slashing towards Li Ji’an.

This strike contained all of her magical power, fast as lightning, unavoidable.

Li Ji’an’s eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless.

The Coiled Dragon Staff in his hand gleamed with cyan light.

Clang!

Li Ji’an felt an immense force coming his way, his Coiled Dragon Staff was hard to hold, and he was involuntarily pushed backward.

“Upper Three Grades Magical Treasure!”

Li Ji’an was secretly alarmed, previously considering the Green Wood Magic Sword in moments of peril, but now completely dispelling the thought.

If he activated the Green Wood Magic Sword and couldn’t slay her with a single strike, he would become a lamb to the slaughter.
