Chapter 220 : Descending Like a Divine Maiden
Lightning Transmutation Hill Plains.
A group of disciples wearing dark blue sect robes fled in panic, with bolt after bolt of heavenly lightning chasing them like soul-collecting ghosts pursuing lives. The scene was as chaotic as it could be.
Their originally high-quality defensive Dao robes had been struck to tatters, no longer resembling the usually elegant and refined disciples of the Eight Trigrams Sect.
Someone couldn't help but curse, "Damn! Will this ever end? I give up. Since we stepped into this godforsaken place, it's been striking for three days and nights without stopping...?"
Ever since the Eight Trigrams Sect disciples entered the territory of the Lightning Transmutation Hill Plains, they had been enthusiastically pursued by heavenly lightning every day. This wretched place had lightning descending at any time, rolling thunder striking non-stop, with nowhere to hide.
The beast demons here were also extremely troublesome and terrifying. Lightning-attribute beast demons were stronger in attack power than ordinary beast demons. With violent lightning power surging over their bodies, it was impossible to get close. Against the beast demons of this place, these weak talisman cultivators could only throw talismans and run away.
Talisman cultivators' physiques were inherently inferior to sword cultivators, those strong-bodied men and women who could behead beast demons with a single sword strike. Apart from their talismans having some attack power, they were no different from the physically weak pill refiners.
"Ah!" A disciple who really couldn't run anymore, legs nearly breaking, tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
A lightning eagle, seeing this, immediately dove down to attack. That disciple, either scared witless or too injured to get up, froze in place, not daring to move.
Lin Jing, not far away, hurriedly threw over several talismans to help block the attack. "Run quickly! Why are you still standing there? Run!"
The disciple snapped back to reality and quickly got up from the ground.
However, that lightning eagle's attention was drawn to Lin Jing, switching targets.
How could running possibly compare to flying with two wings?
Lin Jing was quickly caught up by the eagle beast. His face turned pale, and he tremblingly tried to draw some Golden Armor Talismans, but his hands shook uncontrollably, several times grabbing the wrong talismans.
Having finally taken out defensive talismans and a few attack talismans, he accidentally threw them off target. Fortunately, Big Senior Brother Cui Xiu intervened in time, killing that lightning eagle and pulling him and that lagging junior sister to run together.
The wise adapt to circumstances; if you can't win, run.
But after the beast demon died, the smell of blood and the unusual activity here attracted even more beast demons. Seeing more and more beast demons trailing behind, the Eight Trigrams Sect disciples were almost in tears. Damn, why are there still more coming? Were they really going to die here today?!!!
Even with the enhancement of Speed Talismans, the consumption of spiritual energy and physical strength was enormous.
Especially for talisman cultivators, drawing talismans required consuming a great deal of spiritual power.
The spiritual energy replenishing pills they had brought were almost all used up.
If only they had known to team up with those fence-sitters from the Pill Condensation Sect!
But those pill sect disciples were indeed despicably fence-sitting, refusing to team up with them talisman cultivators... They were all weaklings, yet still discriminated against other weaklings. How shameful and hateful!
Cui Xiu, as the top disciple of the Eight Trigrams Sect and the most talented genius of this generation of talisman cultivators, had been well-protected by the sect since childhood. He usually just stayed in the sect, focusing on drawing talismans, never going out. How could he have encountered such an exciting life-or-death experience before?
It was his first time in over twenty years of life.
His forcibly maintained physical strength was exhausted. One hand clutching his wildly beating chest, he panted, unable to persist any longer. He still had a few life-saving talismans left in his hand. As the Big Senior Brother, he had the responsibility to protect his junior brothers and sisters and ensure their safe return to the sect.
Thinking of this, the young man pinched a talisman between his fingers and turned to face a Divine Transformation stage great beast demon leader.
Just as he was about to sacrifice himself to give others a chance to escape—
A sword light slashed through the air!
Red lotus karmic fire, sword light like the sun.
The beast demon's head was instantly cleaved in two, blood mist spraying, yet far less dazzling in everyone's eyes than the red-robed girl descending from the sky, as if a divine maiden had descended.
"Chu Sang!"
