He would never forget that night in Tianqing City, but he didn’t expect the opponent could recognize him through the Golden Light Shuttle.
Yuan Changtian confirmed it again from Han Yi’s slight change in expression, and his face momentarily flashed a malicious look.
“As expected.”
“Heaven is watching.”
“Die!”
As the word ‘die’ fell, the golden light bloomed again. At the moment the golden light had just reflected in his eyes, the Golden Light Shuttle was already only ten meters away from him.
Fast, very fast, unbelievably fast.
So quick that Han Yi didn’t even have enough time to activate his third-stage Spiritual Talisman, the Mysterious Capital Yang Fire Talisman.
In such a situation, if he had tried to take out a Spiritual Talisman from his storage bag, even if he delayed less than a tenth of a second, by the time the Spiritual Talisman was out, whether he could activate it or not, the Golden Light Shuttle would have already pierced his body.
Even if he had a Spiritual Talisman, the best outcome would be mutually assured destruction.
Han Yi even suspected that Yuan Changtian wouldn’t give him time to activate the Spiritual Talisman.
It was just like when he faced Han Xuxiao not long ago, Han Xuxiao had taken out a Spiritual Talisman, but Han Yi’s Black Light Broken Sword had already pierced through his skull. Even if Han Xuxiao had a Spiritual Talisman, it couldn’t do anything.
Under the gap of power, a Spiritual Talisman might not be useful, because you might not even have time to activate it.
In less than a tenth of a second, during the flicker of consciousness, Han Yi figured out this point.
The Black Light Broken Sword was too far away, and he wouldn’t have time to retrieve it. He wouldn’t even have time to unsheathe the Green Reed Sword behind his back. The time left for him to react was only enough to take out an item from his storage bag. Furthermore, this item couldn’t be a Spiritual Talisman, because it might not be activated. Even if it could, he would definitely die.
So, within this single moment, Han Yi took out a magic weapon, the highest-grade magic weapon in his storage bag.
It was a blood-red long knife.
The blood-red long knife from Mo Wen was a top-tier magic weapon.
Han Yi took this magic weapon out with the sole intention of buying himself more time. After dodging the Golden Light Shuttle’s attack, he could then activate the third-stage Spiritual Talisman.
Bang!
The golden light collided with the blood knife, shattering it. The broken blade flew past his face, leaving a scratch on his left temple. Han Yi’s whole body shook violently. Blood splattered from his hand that was gripping the broken blade, and he was blown hundreds of meters away.
“Huh?”
“The Sword of Dao Inquiry? Mo Wen met his end at your hands?”
“Humph, because of that, you must die.”
With a pause, the golden light shot out even faster.
However.
After being hindered by the blood knife, during his flight that covered hundreds of meters, a golden Spiritual Talisman had appeared in Han Yi’s hand.
There were two extremely intricate symbols on the Spiritual Talisman, which looked like some sort of ancient characters.
It was the life-saving method given to him by Yuan Shun, the third-stage Spiritual Talisman, the Mysterious Capital Yang Fire Talisman.
Before he landed, Han Yi’s magic power poured into the Spiritual Talisman, illuminating it.
The next moment, a terrifying suction force emanated from the Spiritual Talisman. It instantly drained about eighty percent of the magic power in Han Yi’s Spirit Sea, causing his face to change color again.
If this Spiritual Talisman still didn’t take effect, he would only have a single path to death. Even if he abandoned his body and escaped with his Divine Soul into the Sea of Consciousness of his opponent, he might not be able to beat him.
Although his Divine Soul was powerful, it was still weaker than a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, on the edge of the Gold Core realm.
Even with the incredibly powerful Soul Skill of Divine Soul Decay, Han Yi had no confidence in winning a battle of Divine Souls.
For a moment, thoughts raced madly in his mind.
The Spiritual Talisman in his hand had turned into a radiant glow, its heat making Han Yi feel like he was holding a sun in his hand.
Grateful for his luck, Han Yi crushed the radiant glow in his palm. His spirit attached to the glow, and he pointed it towards Yuan Changtian, a hundred meters away.
In an instant.
A flame leaped up from his hand.
This flame was different from all the flames Han Yi had ever seen. Different from mundane flames, different from Master Huo Ming’s Abyssal Fire, different from Mu Jianxu’s Dan Fire, and even more different from the Xuan Yuan Six Ding Divine Fire of the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace.
This flame looked like a bundle of light coalesced into form. Calling it a flame was Han Yi’s subconscious reaction.
The cluster of light that had gathered was pure white.
With a single leap, the light reached Yuan Changtian over a hundred meters away, directly above his head.
The activation of the Spiritual Talisman wasn’t fast. Crushing the radiant glow also took time. These two moves brought the Golden Light Shuttle even closer, almost right in front of him.
At the same time, the radiant light transformed by the Mysterious Capital Yang Fire Talisman had also reached directly above Yuan Changtian.
Right then.
Yuan Changtian abruptly looked up, seeing the strange white light that shot out of the void. His heart skipped a beat, his sense of impending death instantly magnified and soared to its peak.
“A third-stage Spiritual Talisman.”
Yuan Changtian didn’t recognize this Spiritual Talisman, but at this moment, it didn’t prevent him from sensing the tier of the Spiritual Talisman from the threat it posed to him.
The Spiritual Talisman that could make him feel the sign of death was definitely a third-stage or above, equivalent to a full-strength blow from a Gold Core cultivator.
The speed of a Spiritual Talisman is equivalent to a Gold Core cultivator’s blow. Even he could only react so much. With a drastic change in complexion, he managed to throw out a magic weapon in the nick of time.
Unlike Han Yi, although Han Yi had many magic weapons, their properties were pretty much the same, all were offensive in nature.
However, the magic weapon that Yuan Changtian threw out was a defensive one.
A golden umbrella, which unfolded instantly.
However, by the time the umbrella had only half opened, that beam of light had already noiselessly burned through the partially opened umbrella and fell on Yuan Changtian..
