Chapter 270: Chapter 166: Talisman Shock Repelled, Master and Disciple Join Forces!_2

When he cupped his hands, his eyes glanced at Jiang Chen discreetly.

Similarly enduring the onslaught of twenty Tier Two Top Grade Talismans, this Jiang Chen from North Magnetic Mountain seemed to be in a much better state compared to him and Xiao Dan.

As for how many Tier Two Top Grade Talismans Situ Jiang still had left, that was uncertain.

Even if the three of them managed to kick Situ Jiang out, it would likely be difficult to compete with Jiang Chen for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, paying a hefty price only to pave the way for North Magnetic Mountain.

Moreover, with the uncertain number of Tier Two Top Grade Talismans remaining with Situ Jiang, continuing the magical combat would lead to an unpredictable result. After careful consideration, it seemed better to withdraw early.

"In that case, many thanks to Fellow Daoist Wan; you are welcome to visit my Wind Moon Lake whenever you have time," Situ Jiang said with a smile, showing a hint of goodwill towards the Myriad Dragons Lizard.

"Alright." The Myriad Dragons Lizard nodded, then transformed into an escape light, soaring towards the lake above.

The departure of the Myriad Dragons Lizard made Jiang Chen frown, yet he did not say anything.

Xiao Dan, however, looked up at the disappearing escape light formed by the Myriad Dragons Lizard, and couldn’t help but feel an urge to retreat as well.

What the Myriad Dragons Lizard contemplated, he naturally thought of too.

However, the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi was right there, and the temptation was too great. Although Jiang Chen had maintained his strength relatively well, if there were two or more Foundation Establishment Perfections present, they might still engage in a contest, with the outcome uncertain.

But once the Myriad Dragons Lizard left, the situation completely changed.

If he continued to ally with Jiang Chen and kicked out Situ Jiang, even if successful, he would undoubtedly be unable to compete with Jiang Chen, who had preserved his strength better, for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

Moreover, the Valley of Myriad Beasts and the Profound Pill Sect had always been adversaries. With the Myriad Dragons Lizard leaving early, he also feared that the Myriad Dragons Lizard might target the Foundation Establishment Elders of his own sect.

After pondering over and over, Xiao Dan finally had to suppress the temptation of the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi with a slight gritting of teeth. He cupped his hands to Situ Jiang and Jiang Chen and said, "Fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave as well."

"Thank you too, Fellow Daoist Xiao Dan. Should you have leisure in the future, you are welcome to visit my Wind Moon Lake," Situ Jiang replied in kind, cupping his hands.

Xiao Dan nodded and transformed into an escape light, leaving immediately.

At this moment, Celestial Spirit Gang Qi was right in front, yet only Situ Jiang, Jiang Chen, and Qi Chuan remained.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Chen, now only you remain. What is your choice?" Situ Jiang looked at Jiang Chen and said.

Qi Chuan also observed this second Foundation Establishment Perfection from North Magnetic Mountain. Though not a leader of the Five Sects, Jiang Chen’s strength seemed to be not at all weaker than the sect leaders of the Five Sects such as the Myriad Dragons Lizard and Xiao Dan and instead gave off a slight air of superiority.

If Jiang Chen also chose to withdraw, abstaining from the struggle for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, it would be all too well, as the Wind Moon Sect would directly pocket the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

But Jiang Chen might not do so.

"Fellow Daoist Situ is determined to obtain the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, thoroughly prepared. If I’m smart, the best choice is of course to leave, avoiding paying a hefty price only to end in disgrace,"

Upon hearing Situ Jiang’s inquiry, Jiang Chen pondered briefly and then spoke with a smile. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly continued, "But... with the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi right here, when I left North Magnetic Mountain, the sect leader instructed me to strive for it. If I just leave without competing, I wouldn’t have a good explanation for the sect leader, don’t you think so, Fellow Daoist Situ?"

"I understand Fellow Daoist Jiang Chen’s choice now." Upon hearing this, Situ Jiang nodded and refrained from speaking further. Instead, he stroked his Qiankun Bag at his waist, and ten Tier Two Top Grade Talismans appeared in his hand once more.

"Indeed, the people of North Magnetic Mountain are not so simple, unwilling to give up and choosing to fight," Qi Chuan also sighed inwardly, already gearing up for engaging in the magical combat.

"Is it just ten Tier Two Top Grade Talismans? If so, I’m afraid that might not be enough." Jiang Chen laughed as he observed the ten Tier Two Top Grade Talismans Situ Jiang had taken out, finding them to be fewer than he had expected.

"But at this moment, you are merely alone, and the situation doesn’t favor you much." Finally, after watching for a long time, Qi Chuan spoke up again, addressing Jiang Chen.

"Oh? Now that I’m the only one left, you at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, are at last willing to engage in magical combat again? Previously, you unleashed over a hundred Tier Two Upper Grade Celestial Thunder Talismans. Could it be that you have more talismans, or are you ready to personally take action? I’m afraid your own strength might not suffice."

Upon Qi Chuan’s speech, Jiang Chen seemed to suddenly recall something, turning his gaze towards the somewhat inconspicuous Qi Chuan behind Situ Jiang, and spoke with a casual smile.

Buzz!

However, Qi Chuan did not retort against the opponent’s words, merely opened his mouth and spat, releasing a small golden sword light through the air. It emitted a series of clear sword chants, resonating amidst the vast dark blue lake, commanding attention. A sharp aura spread out, gripping the heart and soul.

"Hmm? Is that... a Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword?!"

Hearing the sudden clear sword chants, the faint smile on Jiang Chen’s face hadn’t faded yet, but his pupils suddenly narrowed, his eyesight squinting as he focused on the small golden sword light, expressing a voice of surprise and suspicion, filled with internal astonishment.

"I didn’t expect you to have some confidence; I retract my previous words." Scanning the small golden sword light several times, Jiang Chen spoke somewhat gravely.

Unlike ordinary Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts, having a Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword meant that even though this person’s cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, some gaps in cultivation could be covered by the flying sword.

In other words, this Sword Cultivator from the Wind Moon Sect at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage could now be seen as possessing the strength of a Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Qi Chuan’s flying sword has reached the Tier Two Top Grade Level?"

Unlike Jiang Chen, Situ Jiang knew some secrets about the sword techniques from the Profound Sword True Master and could not help but reveal a look of gratification at the small golden sword light summoned by Qi Chuan.

He knew that all this was earned through Qi Chuan’s own efforts.

Back then, all he bestowed upon Qi Chuan was merely a Tier Two Middle Grade Cyan and Purple Sword Spiritual Artifact.

Rip!

With a look of gratification in his eyes, the next moment, Situ Jiang tore all ten Tier Two Top Grade Talismans in his hand simultaneously, launching an attack on Jiang Chen.

Boom boom!

The offensive of the ten Tier Two Top Grade Talismans converged into a colorful torrent, sweeping towards Jiang Chen’s position. Although the commotion was smaller compared to the previous formation of sixty Tier Two Top Grade Talismans, it still possessed a grand momentum and fearsome power.

Buzz!

"Spirit Devouring Sword Gang!"

Simultaneously, Qi Chuan too moved with his thoughts. Layers of faint golden Sword Gang emerged on the surface of the Vibrating Annihilation Sword’s main body from the small golden sword light before him, causing the momentum emanating from the Vibrating Annihilation Sword to soar once more. With a slight tremor, it emitted a majestic sword chant and then directly pierced through space, slashing violently towards Jiang Chen.

Facing such a level of talisman offensive and flying sword slaughter, even Jiang Chen’s expression became incredibly serious at this moment. Though he hailed from North Magnetic Mountain, he was also merely a Foundation Establishment Perfection. His abilities were not insignificant, but they were by no means omnipotent.

Now, it was akin to facing two Foundation Establishment Perfections alone, and a minor slip could result in a fate where not even his bones remain.

Buzz buzz! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With deep vigilance in his heart, Jiang Chen recited incantations loudly, forming spells unceasingly in his hands. His ten fingers turned into a flurry, causing numerous Tier Two artifacts around him to ascend, emanating increasingly bright spiritual light, among which there were more than one Top Grade Spiritual Artifact with significant power.

Even so, while watching the vibrant torrents rapidly approaching from the front, formed by ten Tier Two Top Grade Talismans’ offensives, along with that small golden sword light, Jiang Chen’s confidence wavered. He slapped his Qiankun Bag, flipped his palm, and a handful of Tier Two Talismans appeared. Then, with both hands, he tore them all apart simultaneously.
