Chapter 68: The Joy of Being a Big Bomber
Chapter 68: The Joy of Being a Big Bomber
After the Five Thunder Talismans, Lei Jun offered up the Linked Fiery Explosion Talismans one after another.
Thanks to Zhu Fengbi's blessing.
At his current level of the second layer of the Law Altar Realm, whether it was his innate Five Thunder Talismans or the non-innate Linked Fiery Explosion Talismans, they all bore superior results.
The Linked Fiery Explosion Talismans crafted by Lei Jun at this moment consisted of one main talisman and three subordinate talismans fused together.
The main talisman detonated first, setting off the subordinate talismans in a chain reaction.
Thus, the mountains, which were already like a thunderfire warehouse that had been ignited, setting off a series of explosions, were now further engulfed in even more raging infernos.
In an instant, the sky was flipped and the earth overturned, with fiery explosions soaring into the heavens.
With just his own power, Lei Jun's two spiritual talismans unleashed a "firepower" almost equivalent to that of ten people at once.
Then, he unleashed another round.
One Five Thunder Talisman, imbued with the Fire Treasury Thunder.
Followed by a Linked Fiery Explosion Talisman.
The Yellow Sky Dao disciples, who were attacking the Daoist temple, never expected that a "team" of enemies would sneak up behind them and unleash their full power in an instant.
The mountains were like wheat fields being mowed down, with numerous people being blown away and trapped in a sea of fire, their bodies difficult to recover.
These Yellow Sky Dao disciples were fierce and courageous. Despite suffering heavy casualties from the surprise attack, they regained their wits and counterattacked towards the rear.
Several people attacked together, sending forth Fiery Explosion Talismans and Rolling Thunder Talismans in a barrage of long-range attacks, their "firepower" equally dense and fierce.
But Lei Jun was no longer in his previous position.
The attacking strength of many,
The concealment and mobility of a single person,
Caused the Yellow Sky Dao disciples' counterattack to fail miserably.
Someone rushed through the sea of fire and leaped over a mountain ridge, looking left and right, but they couldn't find any trace of Lei Jun.
But right under his feet, a viscous, pitch-black "ink" with a faint greenish glow was quietly approaching, unseen and unheard.
Behind the mountain gully where the Yellow Sky Dao disciple's gaze couldn't reach, Lei Jun stood calmly.
In his hand, he held another Five Thunder Talisman.
But this time, with the transformation of the five elements, the spiritual patterns of gold, cyan, red, and brown on the talisman disappeared, leaving only a thick black color.
From the spiritual talisman, a large amount of black liquid, like flowing ink, dripped down without falling to the ground. It hovered in the air, viscous yet agile, moving silently through the mountain gully under Lei Jun's mental command as if it had a life of its own.
Five Thunder Talisman, Water Hidden Thunder.
Thunder is the most extreme yang existence in the world.
But now, it has transformed into an extremely yin thunder-water.
The thunder-water quietly adhered to the body of the Yellow Sky Dao disciple.
Still without a sound.
But the opponent's whole body trembled, as their flesh and blood, along with their spiritual power, were corroded together.
They couldn't even make a sound, and this Yellow Sky Dao disciple softly fell to the ground, their body covered in scorch marks, clearly bearing the signs of a thunderstrike.
After practicing the Fire Treasury Thunder in actual combat, Lei Jun proceeded to practice the Water Hidden Thunder.
What was once a frontal barrage of explosions had now turned into a silent assassination.
The thunder-water struck continuously.
Several Yellow Sky Dao disciples who counterattacked fell one by one, not even uttering a sound before collapsing and disappearing into the mountain forest under the night sky.
As several people silently disappeared one after another, the rest finally had their mental defenses broken, and in the face of the unknown terror, they lost their courage and turned to flee.
When people break down and run for their lives, it becomes difficult to maintain their previous composure. They curse their parents for not giving them four more legs and even more so, they envy their fleeing companions for having two more legs than them.
The remaining few scrambled together in a hive and fled, but Lei Jun, from his high vantage point, sent down another Fire Treasury Thunder, instantly turning these Yellow Sky Dao disciples into a stir-fried mess.
The Heavenly Emptiness Sect disciples in the Daoist temple were unaware of the situation and dared not act rashly for a long time.
It wasn't until much later that they counterattacked out of the temple.
But all they found were the corpses of the Yellow Sky Dao disciples lying haphazardly in the sea of fire.
The remaining Heavenly Emptiness Sect disciples were puzzled: "What happened just now?"
"It looks like a lot of people worked together to surround and attack those Yellow Sky Dao demons!"
Everyone lamented: "What a pity. If we had known, we should have charged out together and worked with the senior brothers and sisters who came to help."
"But why did they leave so soon?"
"Yeah, even if our cultivation is low and they don't want to travel with us, they could have at least shown their faces so we'd know who they are..."
Someone speculated: "Could it be that it wasn't a group of people, but a single elder who has already been ordained?"
"That's possible..."
"But that still doesn't answer the question of who it was."
The rescued disciples looked at each other, feeling not only surprise but also bewilderment.
Lei Jun had no intention of greeting anyone and left quietly.
Whenever he encountered a suitable situation, he would lend a hand to relieve some of the Heavenly Emptiness Sect disciples, while also testing out his new spiritual talismans.
Occasionally, being a big bomber brings its own kind of joy.
But I still prefer to be a lightly-equipped warrior who can fight head-on and also pull off agile maneuvers... Lei Jun thought to himself.
Indeed, being a happy bomber comes with a price; it drains one's spiritual power and soul force too drastically.
While a Fu Lu master like Lei Jun could prepare spiritual talismans in advance, using them in actual combat to unleash their power still required his spiritual power to activate them, which would burden his soul force.
Normally, a Fu Lu master harnesses the power of heaven and earth and borrows the laws of nature, resulting in less personal consumption for the same output, which is one of the advantages of being a Fu Lu cultivator.
However, Lei Jun's situation was different.
The Five Thunder Talismans and the Linked Fiery Explosion Talismans were incredibly powerful, but they also drained his energy tremendously.
"This is just a pressure-free test, so it's fine to be a bit extravagant. In a real evenly-matched battle, I need to pay more attention to rhythm and timing." Lei Jun found a safe and secluded spot to regulate his breathing and restore his spiritual and soul force.
With his earlier support, the Heavenly Emptiness Sect disciples at the foot of the main peak had regained their footing and were holding their ground against the Yellow Sky Dao's assault.
Compared to Lei Jun's sneak attack, another person's arrival was more straightforward.
Xia Qing, another true disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion from the Kun Earth Peak division, returned to the main peak from her division's peak.
She led a few Heavenly Emptiness Sect disciples, forming a special squad dedicated to breaking through and rescuing those in danger, aiding their fellow sect members, and organizing counterattacks.
Xia Qing, who had perfected the third layer of the Law Altar Realm, was decisive and fierce in her actions. On the current battlefield, none of the Lower Three Realms cultivators from the Yellow Sky Dao could match her.
Xia Qing's three major Fu techniques could be considered the most classic and common "Gold, Wind, and Thunder" combination among the true disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
The Gold Lock Talisman, which focused on defense.
The Wind Riding Talisman, which enhanced speed.
And the Thunder Blast Talisman, which was primarily used for offense.
The beauty of these classic techniques was that even if the opponent knew what was coming, they were still highly effective.
After mitigating the threat of the Break Gold Talisman against her Gold Lock Talisman, Xia Qing used her Gold Lock Talisman to block her opponent's attacks and then countered with her Thunder Blast Talisman to shatter their Gold Lock Talisman.
She had ample experience in actual combat, and her moves were orthodox, methodical, yet flexible, giving the Yellow Sky Dao disciples a hard time.
Until...
"Uncle Zhong?!'
The Heavenly Emptiness Sect disciples thought they were getting reinforcements when Elder Zhong Yunfei, a Fu Lu master from their sect, suddenly turned against them and ambushed Xia Qing.
First, he used a Restrictive Talisman to seal her spiritual power flow.
Then, he followed up with a Binding Talisman to immobilize her body.
Finally, he used a Soul-suppressing Talisman to restrain her soul and thoughts.
If Xia Qing had been prepared, she might have been able to hold her ground against this Mid Three Heavens cultivator, even if she couldn't win.
But now, taken by surprise, she found herself restrained without any room to fight back.
Before she could react, her body suddenly lit up with golden light and fiery flames.
These were the effects of an exquisite Gold Lock Talisman and an exquisite Fiery Flame Talisman, crafted by someone else.
However, Zhong Yunfei was well-prepared for his betrayal. He dragged along two Heavenly Emptiness Sect disciples who were equally stunned by his actions, using them as shields against the fiery attack.
He then struck again, depleting the exquisite Gold Lock Talisman's protection on Xia Qing, and eventually captured this true disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
"Take good care of this one. Don't harm her," Zhong Yunfei instructed the nearby Yellow Sky Dao disciples as he heaved a sigh of relief.
"She has a special identity. She's a favored disciple of Li Hongyu and Xia Bo, that couple."
"The dust hasn't settled yet on Dragon Tiger Mountain. Keeping her might come in handy."
The Yellow Sky Dao disciples acknowledged his orders.
The Mid Three Heavens cultivator standing before them was already a core member of their Yellow Sky Dao.
It was his success in acting as an inside man that allowed them to breach Heavenly Emptiness Mountain so smoothly. He had sabotaged two of the eight Fu Lu that formed the core of the mountain-guarding grand formation, causing the entire formation to collapse.
Although, for some reason, Heavenly Emptiness Sect's leader, Tu Guangyu, seemed to have anticipated this to some extent and responded in time to preserve the last four Fu Lu, preventing Zhong Yunfei from achieving complete success.
Nonetheless, the difficulty for the Yellow Sky Dao attackers had decreased significantly.
"There's another true disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, named Lei Jun. Has anyone seen him?" Zhong Yunfei asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
Zhong Yunfei instructed, "Try to capture this young man alive as well. He is one of the only two personal disciples of Yuan Mo and Bai Wei."
He gazed at the Heavenly Emptiness Mountain peaks dotted with flickering fires. "I'll go look for him. Keep your eyes open, and inform me immediately if you spot him."
With that, Zhong Yunfei took to the skies and departed.
The remaining Yellow Sky Dao disciples prepared to escort the captured Xia Qing away.
However, just then, there was a disturbance in the distance.
To everyone's astonishment, the soil on the mountainside began to churn, and a tall young man emerged.
The tall young man retracted his command flag and ignored the shocked Yellow Sky Dao disciples. His gaze followed the direction in which Zhong Yunfei had left.
"He's a menace..." Lei Jun muttered to himself.
Then so be it. He would eliminate the threat.
