Chapter 682: Besieged on All Sides – Heaven-Supporting Talisman
The Thunderfiend Demons lood high above.
The Thunderfiend Beasts watched like tigers eyeing their prey.
The cultivators trapped in the valley were like fish on a chopping block, ready to be swallowed at any mont.
Li Yunlong and Cao Qingwan, as prodigies of the Burning Heaven Divine Sect and the Creation Heaven Sect, naturally had life-preserving trump cards that could at least allow them to escape the valley.
But the sa could not be said for the others.
For them, it was a desperate struggle with death almost certain.
If all of these people perished here, it would be no small loss to both the Burning Heaven Divine Sect and the Creation Heaven Sect.
Unless there was no other choice, Li Yunlong and Cao Qingwan would not abandon them to flee alone.
But how could they bring as many people as possible out alive?
Roar! Roar! Roar!
At that mont, the Thunderfiend Demon with the hateful gaze let out a roar.
Its cry seed to be a signal.
From both sides of the valley, waves of beasts surged forward.
The Thunderfiend Demons above, however, remained still.
Their unmoving presence brought an even greater pressure to the cultivators.
The battle entered a fever pitch the instant it began.
"Cao Qingwan, where’s your Creation Heaven Sect’s Heaven-Supporting Talisman? Take it out!" Li Yunlong barked. "If we can buy so ti, I’ll send a signal out. Hopefully soone will see it and co to help."
Cao Qingwan took a deep breath, pulled out a purple talisman as long as her forearm, infused it with spiritual power, and slapped it hard against the ground.
Boom!
A massive barrier rippled outward.
It was as though a giant had propped up the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless Thunderfiend Beasts were blasted away instantly, crumbling into ash before they even hit the ground.
The remaining beasts could only stay outside the barrier’s range, desperately attacking.
Yet the Heaven-Supporting Talisman was imnsely powerful.
No matter how they struck, it only produced faint ripples.
"Good. The Heaven-Supporting Talisman is strong enough."
The Creation Heaven Sect cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.
The Heaven-Supporting Talisman was one of the sect’s most renowned saint talismans.
It was famous for its unparalleled defense.
Many cultivators at the Supre Realm carried it as a life-saving trump card.
As the Creation Heaven Sect’s prodigy, Cao Qingwan naturally carried several such talismans.
This was precisely why Li Yunlong had refrained from tearing off all pretenses and starting a fight earlier— with such a super defensive shell in hand, Cao Qingwan would not be easy to kill.
Li Yunlong quickly took out a crimson token.
After infusing it with spiritual power—
The crimson token shot into the sky.
It exploded midair.
A fiery red light curtain spread across the heavens, lingering without fading.
Within hundreds of thousands of li, every cultivator could clearly see it.
This token was known as the "Burning Heaven Order."
Only important mbers of the Burning Heaven Divine Sect were permitted to carry it.
Once the Burning Heaven Order was raised, all sect mbers were bound to rush to the rescue imdiately.
Allied forces with spare strength were also expected to lend aid.
Li Yunlong rested her chin in her hands and wrinkled her pretty nose. "Now we can only wait."
When she looked at Cao Qingwan, her temper flared again. "It’s all your fault. If not for you, would we be in this ss?"
Cao Qingwan gave a cold snort. "If not for my Heaven-Supporting Talisman, you’d all be dead already."
Li Yunlong shot to her feet.
She looked ready to roll up her sleeves for a fight.
Just then—
The two of them suddenly raised their heads, looking toward the mountaintops on both sides.
They saw that the more than fifty Thunderfiend Demons had begun gathering their strength together.
Thunderfiend energy condensed into massive spheres.
They grew larger and larger.
Before long, they were as huge as small mountains.
"Damn!"
Li Yunlong cursed, "Quick! Use the second Heaven-Supporting Talisman!"
Cao Qingwan’s face paled, and she imdiately activated a second Heaven-Supporting Talisman.
At that very mont—
The massive thunder spheres ca crashing down!
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted without warning.
Within the Heaven-Supporting Talisman’s barrier, every cultivator felt as though thunder had detonated right beside their ears.
Their vision swam with sparks, and the ground seed to quake violently beneath them.
They could barely keep their footing.
When they looked up—
They saw that the barrier of the Heaven-Supporting Talisman had already dimd to a lifeless hue, as if it would shatter at any mont.
Blood trickled from Li Yunlong’s ears as she shouted, "Where’s your Heaven-Supporting Talisman?!"
Cao Qingwan looked down at the talisman in her hand, split cleanly in two, and her heart sank to the depths.
That earth-shattering blast had taken place in a flash.
The first Heaven-Supporting Talisman’s barrier had been annihilated in an instant.
Now, it was already the shield of the second talisman that stood before them—
But she had not expected that this second talisman, barely deployed, would have its power drained completely.
It was hard to imagine how strong the combined strike of over fifty Thunderfiend Demons truly was.
Even a Supre Realm cultivator trying to take it head-on would likely be severely injured.
"Gone?"
Li Yunlong’s eyes widened, her heart trembling.
If even the Heaven-Supporting Talisman could not withstand such an attack, how were they supposed to defend themselves?
Was death the only path left?
Even her usually lively face was now filled with bitterness.
Just then, both Li Yunlong and Cao Qingwan seed to sense sothing and abruptly looked up.
In the towering do of sky above, deep within the rolling black clouds, a purple-black thunderlight was gathering.
It was like a divine spear of heavenly punishnt—thick, massive, and majestic—
Annihilating all in its path, capable of turning the world itself to ash.
Its murderous, destructive aura made their hair stand on end and their scalps prickle even from within the valley.
"No way..." Li Yunlong was dumbstruck.
A giant spear of condensed violet thunder?
Had they committed so cri against the heavens?
Was this really necessary?
Cao Qingwan’s beautiful eyes also widened in disbelief at the sight of that thunder spear.
The fifty Thunderfiend Demons and the thousands of Thunderfiend Beasts had already been enough to drive her to despair.
And now this violet thunder spear—
This wasn’t just to kill them.
It was a spear to send them straight into reincarnation!
The valley was thick with despair and sorrow.
anwhile, the Thunderfiend Demons and Thunderfiend Beasts were abnormally excited.
Thunderfiend power had always been the source of their strength.
Now, with a violet thunder spear forming above, in their limited understanding it was obviously aid at the human cultivators.
Naturally, they were overjoyed.
In the next instant, under the despairing gazes of the human cultivators and the eager stares of the Thunderfiend Demons and Beasts—
The violet thunder spear descended from the heavens.
Like the wrath of the sky itself, it was the spear of world destruction!
Boom!
One strike.
Just one strike—
And the mountain where the fifty Thunderfiend Demons had been entrenched was leveled flat.
A terrifying shockwave swept outward, shattering the bodies of the gathered Thunderfiend Beasts.
Because Li Yunlong, Cao Qingwan, and the others were in the valley, they suffered almost no harm.
When they raised their heads again—
They realized everything had changed.
There was no longer a valley here.
Only a vast, unobstructed plain.
The mountains on both sides had been sheared flat by that violet thunder spear.
The Thunderfiend Beasts that had been circling outside were either dead or grievously wounded, barely able to whimper and unable to stand.
They had no strength left to attack.
Cao Qingwan’s eyes were round with shock.
Li Yunlong’s gloom instantly turned to delight. "I’ll be damned! Even the heavens are on our side!"
The cultivators cheered in unison, rejoicing in their narrow escape from death.
