Chapter 209: A Move More Skillful Than the Other
This is a Tier 2, High-Grade 'Wildfire Talisman'.
As soon as it appeared, it emitted an extremely powerful aura of flames.
Immediately, Fu Yun made a hand gesture, and the talisman was launched, flying towards the swarm of insects surrounding the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' and Zhu Yulin.
In an instant, the talisman burst into flames, and raging flames swept out from within, like a fire dragon sweeping away.
The flames spread like wildfire.
The blazing flames illuminated the entire valley.
It dispersed most of the clouds and fog, and the sky turned into a sea of fire.
Seeing this, Zhu Yaqin seemed to have anticipated it.
She remained calm, a jade flute with a green hue between her lips, and began to play it slowly.
A melodious sound rang out, and the swarm of insects dispersed on their own, avoiding the engulfing flames, and flew back to Zhu Yaqin's side.
Flowers fluttered beneath Zhu Yaqin's feet, carrying her backward at great speed, thus avoiding the raging flames.
Immediately, the "Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard" and Zhu Yulin were freed from their predicament.
Upon closer inspection, Zhu Yulin had already been devoured beyond recognition by the swarm of insects, her face covered in blood.
The 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' also had its limbs clearly visible, and its fur was already stained with blood.
Drops of blood continued to drip from the hair.
"Fu Lang..." Zhu Yulin immediately cried out, and with a thought, the extraordinary phenomenon of the Immortal Foundation manifested.
A misty haze hung beneath her feet, and a peony-shaped object carried her as she flew toward Fu Yun.
However, suddenly, the melodious sound of a flute rang out.
As the flute music began, Zhu Yulina's flying body suddenly stiffened; she felt something inside her dantian.
If any foreign object grows within the condensed 'human flower,' it immediately transforms into countless threads that pierce through her dantian.
It spread throughout her entire body's meridians.
In the blink of an eye, her body felt as if it were bound by a silken cocoon.
Blood was flowing from her body, her pupils were bulging, and she turned to look at Zhu Yaqin, who was playing the jade flute, and spoke.
"What... is going on?!"
In the end, Zhu Yulin was too weak to speak, and could only stare intently at Zhu Yaqin through the gaps in the silk cocoon.
"You really think... I would believe you're willing to betray Fu Yun?" Zhu Yaqin slowly withdrew the flute from her red lips.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Zhu Yulin with an indifferent expression, and spoke slowly.
Zhu Yulin made a whimpering sound, but could no longer make a sound.
Her body was completely wrapped in silk threads.
"I have already investigated. You and Fu Yun had a son and a daughter... You dote on your children... With the bond of family, you must have forgotten the family feud..." Zhu Yaqin said slowly. "As for me, I never thought of using you to assassinate Fu Yun. You were just a tool to lure Fu Yun out and make him die here."
"You..." Zhu Yulin glared angrily.
A ghostly light emanated from within its body, as if it were desperately trying to resist.
However, Zhu Yaqin began to play the jade flute.
A thread pierced through Zhu Yulin's brow, annihilating her soul.
The eerie light emanating from her disappeared.
As the aura of Foundation Establishment gradually dissipated, pale blue peony blossoms fell from the sky around her.
Like the Great Way disappearing.
Ahead, countless golden blades slashed down from the sky.
Fu Yun drew his hands together, conjuring a sea of clouds that swept away the golden blade.
When he flew like a rainbow towards Zhu Yulin to rescue her.
Not far away, Ruan Zhitu drew a hand seal and unleashed a mid-grade second-tier 'Giant Spear Talisman' that thrust forward.
The giant spear stirred up a golden gale, like a vast river, its imposing aura overwhelming.
In haste, Fu Yun immediately retreated.
In that instant, Zhu Yulin had already died.
"Yu Lin!" Fu Yun flew into the sky, looked down, and roared angrily after seeing Zhu Yu Lin's life force had stopped.
This is not because of love for Zhu Yulin.
But things went beyond his expectations again, and that sense of deviation filled him with anger and unease.
"Zhu Yaqin." After glancing at Zhu Yulin, he glared at Zhu Yaqin and said, "What did you do to Yulin?"
He felt lost and confused at that moment.
I felt a chill run down my spine.
As he spoke, he released his divine sense, sensing within his own body to check for any abnormalities.
"Tsk tsk, naturally it's the ancient and strange Gu that was added to Yu Lin's Foundation Establishment spiritual object back then, the 'Parasitic Spirit Gu'."
Zhu Yaqin said slowly.
"Parasitic spirit gu?" Fu Yun felt a chill run down his spine, his brows furrowing.
In the past, when Zhu Yulin was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he also checked that spiritual plant and found nothing unusual.
"This Gu can coexist with various spiritual creatures... transforming into the immortal spiritual energy within them... becoming one with them, so you naturally won't notice..." Zhu Yaqin smiled leisurely, and then, she pressed the jade flute in her jade hand to her red lips.
He began to play the flute slowly.
When the sound rang out, Fu Yun was horrified, feeling as if a great crisis was about to befall him, and his face was full of vigilance.
With a flick of her jade hand, a talisman flew out from the storage pouch at her waist, its light flashing.
Just as his talisman appeared, Fu Yun's pupils shrank, and he felt something inside his dantian.
Within that 'human flower,' something seemed to revive, and countless rays of light immediately emerged, passing directly through his dantian and surging towards his limbs, bones, and body. There were also threads that resembled spears, aiming to pierce through his brow and dantian.
You must enter its Niwan point and consume its spirit.
Fu Yun was greatly alarmed.
He channeled his magical power, causing clouds and mist to rise within his body, resembling rolling flames, threatening to annihilate the light.
However, the more he circulated his magic power, the faster the light grew, until his entire body was enveloped in it.
"hateful……!"
Fu Yun felt a chill run down his spine.
He immediately chanted the incantation, and as the spell was activated, the talismanic patterns in front of him bloomed, transforming into a talismanic light that enveloped him.
"That is..." Upon seeing this, Zhu Yaqin showed a look of surprise.
The next instant, she saw light patterns flickering within Fu Yun's body, as if another "him" was being drawn out by the talisman light.
He immediately retreated.
But then they saw that the 'Fu Yun' who had been drawn out was covered in light.
The instant Fu Yun retreated, a golden light slashed down from the sky.
However, Fu Yun conjured up a sea of clouds that enveloped them.
He was carried by the clouds and suspended in the air, looking ahead at a "light person" who looked extremely similar to him.
This person is so lifelike, it's almost as if he were another Fu Yun.
He was simply enveloped in light.
"The 'parasitic spirit gu' has been expelled?" Zhu Yaqin looked at the luminous figure with a surprised expression.
"Could it be that the one just now was an ancient 'substitute death talisman'?" she murmured, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Without the parasitic spirit gu... killing him... will be a bit tricky!" Ruan Zhitu said from the side.
Zhu Yaqin said calmly, "He can't escape today!"
As she spoke, she played her jade flute, and the swarm of insects let out a whoosh and flew towards Fu Yun.
"Hmph, Zhu Yaqin, you're ruthless. But if you want to keep me here, it won't be that easy!"
Seeing the swarm of insects approaching, Fu Yun dared not linger in battle. He moved swiftly and flew into the treasure ship.
The injured "Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard" immediately leaped into the boat.
The treasure ship immediately transformed into a light shield and flew into the sky.
Then, he made a hand gesture and summoned a second-grade high-level barrier-breaking talisman.
The talisman flashed and flew into the sky, radiating a dazzling light, like an arrow piercing through the array's light barrier high in the sky.
Then, with a whoosh, the treasure ship flew into the valley.
Fu Yun was not afraid of Zhu Yaqin before because he had a second-tier barrier-breaking talisman.
At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to kill the woman.
Who would have thought that Zhu Yaqin not only had a terrifying swarm of insects, but also used Gu worms to kill Zhu Yulin, and even he himself was severely injured.
Although the "Substitute Death Talisman" helped him remove the parasitic Gu worms.
However, it also consumed a lot of vital energy.
Fu Yun's strength has been greatly reduced, and his combat power is now only comparable to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
They are utterly incapable of fighting.
The treasure ship flew into the air.
They left the swarm of insects a hundred meters behind.
However, Zhu Yaqin walked on air as if flowers were blooming beneath her feet, but she had no intention of pursuing Fu Yun.
In the air, on a treasure ship.
Fu Yun clenched his teeth as he looked at the 'Ink-Patterned Cloud Leopard' beside him, whose limbs revealed stark white bones.
"Damn it... I've never had any dealings with Zhu Yaqin... how did I end up with her Gu worm?"
He was completely puzzled.
Until his death, Fu Yun never knew that the Gu worm had been introduced into his body when he and Zhu Yulin were practicing Yin-Yang cultivation together.
All of this was part of Zhu Yaqin's plan.
Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly arose.
At the edge of the valley, on that cliff, a rainbow suddenly flashed, as dozens of arrows streaked through the air at incredible speed.
"That is..." Fu Yun stared intently.
But then they saw a middle-aged man standing in the air above the mountain peak ahead.
He was drawing a longbow that gleamed with a cold light.
The bowstring still gleamed with a cold light.
Those arrows flying everywhere were shot by this person.
Clearly, he had been waiting for Fu Yun for a long time, intending to deliver a thunderous blow to the latter.
"A near-third-tier Meteor Moon Chasing Bow... You're from Nanling Immortal City!" Upon seeing this, Fu Yun was shocked.
He immediately summoned a talisman, which transformed into a golden light shield to protect himself.
boom!
Just as the talisman manifested, the light shield that his treasure ship had created was shattered by the arrows.
Arrows, like a river of swords, came crashing down on the 'golden light shield' that Fu Yun had just conjured.
boom!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
The golden light shield was shattered.
Fu Yun was riddled with bullets and flew backward, his body falling to his knees.
He vomited blood repeatedly.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the man holding the cold bow had already drawn the bowstring again.
An arrow flew in at lightning speed.
As it pierced the air, the arrow multiplied into hundreds, like a long river of arrows crashing down once more.
Each arrow carried a fierce gale, whistling through the air.
Such power surpasses even the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
The scent of death filled Fu Yun's heart.
"Nanling Immortal City...you will regret this!" Fu Yun gritted his teeth.
Then, he took out a black gold jade tablet and spat out a mouthful of blood into it.
The jade plaque shimmered with light, evolving into a vortex.
"The one who killed me... is Zhu Yaqin from the Southern Ridge Immortal City... who possesses an ancient inheritance!"
A wisp of Fu Yun's divine sense entered the jade tablet.
Just then, a hail of arrows rained down from the sky.
Fu Yun burned his divine soul power to activate the jade tablet.
The jade tablet transformed into a streak of black light, streaking across the void before hurtling towards the southern region.
The moment the jade tablet soared into the sky, a hail of arrows rained down.
Suddenly, a blazing pearl appeared on Fu Yun's body.
boom!
The bead suddenly exploded.
The entire treasure ship was blown to pieces.
