Chapter 908 - 270: Now This Is Revenge!
Chen Yan wielded his sword, slashing left and right, and after a few attempts, a noticeable portion of the black energy diminished.
However, the golden light from the Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman on the sword’s blade started to dim.
Chen Yan took a deep breath and pulled out a few more Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans to slap onto the sword’s blade.
In the air, the voice of the Li family ghost roared angrily, "Let’s see just how much talisman paper you have!!"
"That’s a stroke of luck! I have talisman paper that I can’t use up!" Chen Yan laughed heartily.
Then he twisted his body and charged again, moving around within the Primordial Qi, leaping and dodging black energy everywhere, relentlessly pursuing and slashing it.
Moments later, the black energy in the courtyard became more and more dense, seemingly reduced by three parts by Chen Yan, but soon surged back by five parts.
Chen Yan had already used up more than twenty Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans, yet the black energy in the courtyard seemed to increase the more he cut it.
The black energy attacked him from all directions, and the Golden Light Technique on Chen Yan’s body was already faltering, with the golden light barrier as thin as paper. Without hesitation, Chen Yan applied another Golden Light Technique on himself.
He pondered over his strategy.
The Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman was effective against it, but being a low-level Talisman Art, its damage was limited.
And the opponent...
"In over a hundred years, I don’t know how many corpses I’ve dug up or tombs I’ve raided! My corpse energy has accumulated for one hundred fifty years; even if you exhaust yourself, you can’t deplete my corpse energy!"
The Li family ghost laughed maniacally, and more black energy emerged from all corners of the courtyard.
Several clusters of black energy converged above Chen Yan, suddenly gathering in mid-air to form the outline of a hand.
This black hand spread its five fingers, pressing downwards towards Chen Yan’s head!
In an instant, the black energy loomed like a sky-darkening cloud, and the sword in Chen Yan’s hand, glowing with golden light, flickered like a flame in the wind.
Chen Yan, however, stood still, looked intently, and then burst into laughter.
"Alright, warm-up over."
With a swift motion, he stored the sword in the Storage Jade Pendant, and in his hand appeared another object.
A feather duster emitting red, yellow, and green three-colored light!
The Three-Colored Divine Light of the Yunqiao Great Demon!
Chen Yan kicked off the ground, leaped into the air, heading straight for the black hand above!
He raised the Three-Colored Divine Light Duster towards the sky...
One sweep!!
Buzz!
The yellow among the three colors suddenly blazed!
The yellow light spread like a flood, erupting in a golden hue instantly!
A sky full of golden light roared towards the black hand; in the blink of an eye, the black energy forming the giant hand crumbled under the golden light, collapsing like a broken dam!
As countless black energy dispersed and was swallowed by the golden light, the sky was left with residual flames, like burning clouds, from the thoroughly scorched black energy!
The painful wails of the Li family ghost echoed, while Chen Yan flew out from the black energy, his body landing on an eaves.
After the black energy scattered, it fled in all directions, spinning in the air before falling to the ground.
This time, the black energy was much weaker, and the pervasive golden light seemed to suppress the further outflow of black energy.
A figure gradually appeared on the ground in the courtyard, tall but emaciated.
Clad in tattered black robes, devoid of beard and hair, the exposed skin on his hands and face tinged with a bluish-black, resembling a malicious ghost.
Once he appeared, Chen Yan noticed that this guy’s right hand was gone, the wrist still emanating a faint black energy, wriggling, striving to reform the outline of a hand, but unable to take shape for the moment.
"You... what exactly are you!
In this world, there shouldn’t be anyone of your cultivation!
No, no! In this world, there shouldn’t be any magical artifact like the one in your hand!"
Chen Yan rolled his eyes.
Magical artifact? Bah! Ignorant creature.
This thing in my hand, is this a magical artifact?
Made from the life essence feather of the Half-Step Venerable Yunqiao Great Demon!
Is that a magical artifact?
That’s a Magical Treasure!!
Though Chen Yan thought this to himself, he jumped down from the eaves but didn’t immediately rush again.
The earlier sweep, though it appeared powerful, drained thirty percent of his Primordial Qi in an instant!
The little girl was right; this thing could only be used three times at most.
After three times, I’d deplete my Primordial Qi, unable to continue the fight.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan reversed the Three-Colored Divine Duster to hang it behind himself, and swiftly, with his other hand, he gestured in the air.
With a swift motion, he summoned dozens of Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans from the Storage Jade Pendant!
There were roughly over eighty of them!
This was Chen Yan’s final reserve—a diligent practice of talisman drawing didn’t allow for endless supply.
These eighty-some Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans floated in the air, arranging themselves behind Chen Yan in mid-air, each upright.
Following a gesture of spell incantation from Chen Yan, and a light point of his finger,
A stream of Primordial Qi dispersed out, and the eighty-some Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans simultaneously ignited, transforming into golden fireballs, whistling densely as they shot towards the Li family ghost!
Though this was a low-level Talisman Art, it was the natural enemy of the corpse energy cultivated by the Li family ghost.
