Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 18 High-Level Talisman Clash

Meanwhile, behind a large rock in the distance, several people were quietly watching this scene.

This was naturally Xiao Ming and his group.

After Liu Di and the others left the city, they quickly caught up with them, but instead of taking action, they silently followed behind and observed.

After all, according to Yuan Qing's information, Liu Di and the others came out of the city to find the cave dwelling of a cultivator who had passed away, and it was very likely the cave dwelling of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although everyone was skeptical at first, what if it was true?

"They actually found the hidden cultivator's cave. These past two days have been worth it," Wei Niang said excitedly.

"Is it really okay to just let them in like this? What if they actually go into the cave and find some treasure?" Xi Ming said worriedly from the side.

"It's alright. Judging from their performance these past two days, I don't think they can break the formation of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave. On the contrary, it will be easier if we wait a while and make our move when they've escaped in a sorry state," Ye Lin said with a smile.

Having overheard the conversation, Xiao Ming agreed with the viewpoint. After observing it over the past two days, he also found it somewhat laughable.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a makeshift team; it would be a miracle if these people could accomplish anything.

Just as Ye Lin had expected, after Liu Di and the others had been inside the magic array for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they saw magical light emanating from within the array.

The group of girls fled in tears and screams, and the last one to appear was a figure covered in wounds. It was the girl surnamed Yang, who was of average strength but very confident. She lay on the ground, her life hanging in the balance.

The other girls were simply embracing each other and weeping, grateful to have survived, and had no concern for the lives of others.

"Let's do it." Xiao Ming exchanged a glance with the other three, then rushed out.

The horn bead in his hand emitted a green light, and instantly the plants on the ground seemed to come alive. Countless tree roots and vines broke through the soil, trapping all of them.

Fireball!

Xiao Ming quickly conjured a fireball the size of a human head in his hand and hurled it at the woman surnamed Fu.

Although the woman was panicked, she was quick to react and immediately produced a white handkerchief to shield herself.

The fireball exploded upon hitting the handkerchief. Although flames shot into the sky and scorched the handkerchief black, it successfully blocked the attack.

"Again!"

Xiao Ming snorted coldly, and two more large fireballs condensed in front of him. With the enhancement of the fire control technique, his casting speed was extremely fast, and the power was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

This handkerchief can barely be considered a ritual implement, but unfortunately, in order to look good and cater to the aesthetics of the girls, its practicality has been greatly sacrificed.

As the two fireballs were launched, the handkerchief finally gave way and was blasted into pieces. The young lady surnamed Fu, who had not yet managed to escape, was also engulfed by the flames.

When the firelight died down, the woman surnamed Fu collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.

"I..." The girl surnamed Fu opened her mouth.

"Do you have any last words you'd like to say?" Xiao Ming walked over.

"My husband is..."

"Didn't you divorce your husband?" Xiao Ming said.

The woman surnamed Fu glanced at Xiao Ming with surprise, then nodded with difficulty and held up two fingers.

"It's been two years~"

The woman stopped breathing after she finished speaking.

Xiao Ming: "..."

What's wrong with this person? They're about to die and they're still fixated on this. Is there nothing else in their life they can be proud of besides divorcing their husbands?

Meanwhile, the other three girls have also been subdued.

"Spare me! It was that bitch Liu Di who made me do it. I don't know anything about it."

"Don't kill me, I'm scared..."

At this moment, the three girls started crying and begging for mercy, having completely forgotten the slogans they had shouted earlier.

Wei Niang only felt that the person in front of her was making noise, so she twisted her neck with both hands.

Meanwhile, Ye Lin quickly finished off his target, while the fellow Daoist Xi was choking the female cultivator with both hands.

"My lord, I was wrong, please forgive me, it was all Liu Di who bewitched me..."

"I am not your husband, I am just a dog that you play with."

Xi Ming's eyes were already red, and his body was trembling slightly, but he gradually increased the force in his hands until the female cultivator had completely stopped breathing.

In that brief moment, as Liu Di broke free from the vines and roots, her four companions were eliminated.

"You bitch, we meet again." Ye Lin turned around and stared coldly at Liu Di.

Xiao Ming and his group also moved to block the woman's retreat.

"How dare you attack members of the law enforcement team! Aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of Captain Shi and Master Hu?" Liu Di took a step back and scolded the group.

"Do you really think this is still a market town? If you're so capable, then call them here." Xi Ming strode towards Liu Di.

He was furious after killing his former lover with his own hands, and in his opinion, the two of them would never have ended up like this if it weren't for the woman in front of him.

"Liu Di, I want you dead!"

However, at that moment, a blue talisman appeared in Liu Di's hand.

As the talisman was activated, an extremely cold aura erupted, transforming into an ice storm that swept towards everyone.

"This is... a high-level ice talisman." Xi Ming's expression changed, and he quickly retreated.

But it was too late. The ice spread at an extremely fast speed, completely engulfing Xi Ming, and then continued its relentless attack on the others.

Ice runes are rare to begin with, let alone high-level ones.

"Hmph, I've offended so many people, do you really think I'd leave the city unprepared?" Liu Di said with a sneer.

Fire control technique!

As Xiao Ming cast this high-level spell, a barrier of flames immediately appeared around his body.

However, in the face of a high-level ice talisman equivalent to a full-force attack from the late stage of Qi Refining, the flame barrier in front of Xiao Ming was instantly suppressed by the extreme cold storm.

"Hmph, it's just a high-level talisman. You think you're the only one who has one?" Xiao Ming took out a talisman that was radiating a scorching aura.

This is a high-level fire attribute talisman that Xiao Ming has just grown.

"Burn it!"

As Xiao Ming activated the talisman, towering flames erupted, transforming into surging waves of fire that swept across the land.

The collision of ice and fire produced a large amount of white smoke.

Seeing that Xiao Ming also possessed a high-level talisman, Liu Di's expression instantly turned serious. She knew that this ice talisman would likely be useless. She had to escape immediately, or she would surely die.

Then she took out a yellow talisman from her bosom, on which were written the words "Earth Escape".

If the high-level ice talisman was Liu Di's hidden trump card, then this earth-遁 talisman was her true means of survival.

Back then, Yang Zhiyuan used this expensive earth-遁符 (a type of talisman) to curry favor with Liu Di. Liu Di reciprocated by helping her get in touch with Master Hu, and from then on, she soared to great heights.
