Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 272 - 167: Talisman Treasure Versus Talisman Treasure, The Battle Concludes!

Chapter 272: Chapter 167: Talisman Treasure Versus Talisman Treasure, The Battle Concludes!

But now, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator from the Wind Moon Sect had actually taken out a Talisman Treasure, and its power seemed formidable, offering at least twenty percent of the original Magical Treasure’s might.

"Was it given by Situ Jiang?" Jiang Chen’s gaze drifted to Situ Jiang as he speculated internally.

It was the most likely possibility, after all, as Situ Jiang, having reached Foundation Establishment Perfection and being the Sect Leader, it was normal for him to be willing to produce a Talisman Treasure to compete for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

Yet, since he possessed a Talisman Treasure, why didn’t Situ Jiang use it himself, but instead, grant it to another Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator?

Not to mention the earlier Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword and over a hundred Tier Two Upper Grade Celestial Thunder Talismans...

"It seems Situ Jiang indeed cares a lot for this Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator..." Jiang Chen murmured to himself.

Holding the Talisman Treasure in his hand, Qi Chuan showed no hesitation. With a thought, he infused a trace of mana into it. Instantly, it emitted a resplendent glow. When the light faded, a massive, black, hefty ruler, a full ten feet long, hovered above his head.

Looking at the heavy black ruler above his head, Qi Chuan’s eyes revealed a touch of emotion.

Since acquiring this item in the Cloud-Rising Mountain Range, this was only the second time he had used it.

The first use was just a test of its power, secretly summoning it in a random location.

So this was the first time this Talisman Treasure was shown to outsiders in its true form.

"Go."

With a slight sentiment, Qi Chuan focused his gaze on Jiang Chen, then pointed his index finger at him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Following Qi Chuan’s motion, the ten-foot-long hefty black ruler above his head trembled slightly and transformed into a giant black shadow, shooting rapidly towards Jiang Chen’s position, aiming to fiercely slash down from above his head.

"The Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword, the Talisman Treasure, coupled with his original Foundation Establishment Late Stage strength, the power Qi Chuan exhibits is already completely comparable to mine..."

Witnessing the scene where Qi Chuan drove the Talisman Treasure to slash towards Jiang Chen, Situ Jiang’s mind couldn’t help but recall the scene of the True Inheritance selection ceremony of the Wind Moon Sect, when he first met Qi Chuan.

Who could have imagined that the young man, once at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, would now stand at the same height as himself?

With a touch of emotion, the movements in Situ Jiang’s hands didn’t cease. Seeing that Qi Chuan had already initiated the offense, he immediately tore ten Tier Two Top Grade Talismans in his hand simultaneously.

Boom!

Instantly, an array of colorful talismanic attacks surged forth, sweeping through the void, rushing towards Jiang Chen’s location.

"This momentum is truly astonishing."

Seeing the surge formed by the Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword, ten Tier Two Top Grade Talisman attacks, and the ten-foot-long black ruler Talisman Treasure slashing towards him in unison, Jiang Chen sighed softly, and spoke slowly.

Previously, more than half of his remaining talismans had been consumed, and currently, only a small portion remained in his Qiankun Bag.

Nonetheless, even this small portion, along with the several artifacts circling around him with considerable power, were enough to fend off the Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword and the ten Tier Two Top Grade Talisman attacks.

However, if the Talisman Treasure was added into the mix, it was barely insufficient.

Forcibly taking it would likely cause severe damage to the artifacts, rendering them unusable, forcing him to retreat and forfeit the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

"It seems I must use this item as well."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen spoke with a semblance of helplessness, drawing a frown from both Qi Chuan and Situ Jiang as they focused their gaze on him.

Then the two saw Jiang Chen brush his Qiankun Bag at his waist, and similarly, a bizarre Talisman much longer and wider than a normal Tier Two Top Grade Talisman appeared in his hand.

In the center of that peculiar talisman was a small six-color fan, the fan surface adorned with various mysterious patterns all in the form of cloud and fire, changing constantly, giving an immensely scorching sensation at just a glance.

"A Talisman Treasure! So this is Jiang Chen’s confidence to face the masters alone!" Qi Chuan mused exasperatedly as he fully understood in that moment.

Previously, unaware of how many Tier Two Top Grade Talismans their master still had, both the Foundation Establishment Perfection Myriad Dragons Lizard and Xiao Dan had retreated, yet Jiang Chen chose to remain alone, continuing to vie with their master for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

Even though the man hailed from the North Magnetic Mountain, possessing more than one Top Grade Spiritual Artifact, his confidence was quite substantial. It’s crucial to note that if their master had a larger reserve of Tier Two Top Grade Talismans, Jiang Chen wouldn’t hold on with just Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts and leftover talismans.

However, if Jiang Chen also possessed a Talisman Treasure, it would all make perfect sense.

The power of a Talisman Treasure is truly formidable. Earlier, Tian Hunzi used a Talisman Treasure to shield against a large number of their master’s Tier Two Top Grade Talismans.

In a situation where their master had engaged in battle repeatedly, Jiang Chen having a Talisman Treasure as a trump card indeed enabled him to test the number of Tier Two Top Grade Talismans their master still possessed. If the number was insufficient, there was a real chance of singlehandedly facing two opponents and seizing the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

Yet even Jiang Chen perhaps didn’t anticipate that he too had a Talisman Treasure, which forced him to reveal his hand before even probing their master’s stock of Tier Two Top Grade Talismans.

Thus, in the battle of Talisman Treasures, both sides were evenly matched, and without a stronger means, Jiang Chen would likely find the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi ultimately taken by the alliance of himself and their master.

"So your trump card is also a Talisman Treasure." Observing Jiang Chen holding the Talisman Treasure, Situ Jiang also comprehended and said slowly.

"Alas," hearing Situ Jiang’s words, Jiang Chen sighed helplessly, saying, "After taking this strike, I will retreat, yielding the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi to you."

He genuinely felt helpless.

Originally, possessing a Talisman Treasure, he could still stand a chance, but since the opponent also had a Talisman Treasure, he was unable to gain any advantage, and with an unknown quantity of Tier Two Top Grade Talismans and a Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword, continuing the Magical Combat would certainly lead to his defeat, making it impossible to claim the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, so he might as well retreat.

However, he needed to withstand the current offensive first.

As these words fell, Jiang Chen had already moved his thought, infusing a trace of mana into the Talisman Treasure in his hand.

Buzz.

Instaneously, the peculiar talisman let out a trembling sound, then bloomed into light, transforming into a giant six-color fan, standing as tall as a person, gripped in his hand.

Holding the enormous six-color fan, as if weighing a thousand catties, Jiang Chen’s arm swung it forward slowly.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, a vigorous, blazing wave of six-color flames erupted from the void, charging against the incoming Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword, the ten-foot-long black ruler, and the talismanic surge.

Where the six-color flames passed, the void itself seemed to distort, as if the terrifying heat was enough to deform space.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Finally, under the varying gazes of Qi Chuan, Jiang Chen, Situ Jiang, the four forces collided heavily, creating an earth-shaking explosion, sending waves of formidable energy ripples sweeping throughout, incessantly churning the deep lake into tumultuous fury.

The brilliant light, gradually masking and enveloping Qi Chuan and the others, concealed their forms, but just before their bodies disappeared into the light, it was faintly visible that each of them suffered the blows of the shockwaves in varying degrees of severity.

As time passed, the terrifying energy chaos slowly subsided, the light faded, re-revealing the three figures.

Contrasting with the previously tranquil ambiance, the three, now appearing somewhat disheveled.

The faint golden Sword Gang covering Qi Chuan’s body surface appeared ragged and incomplete, his Magic Robe bore several tears, with traces of blood seeping through the broken parts.

The aftershocks of the Magical Combat were too strong just now; even the Spirit Devouring Sword Gang couldn’t entirely fend it off, resulting in this scene.
