Chapter 130: Chapter 130: A Tough Battle, The Stabilizing Talisman Exhibits Its Power

Although Daoist Wang’s words were a bit harsh, no one refuted them.

In times of disaster, it’s human nature to want to preserve one’s life.

If they truly couldn’t win, staying would mean certain death; it was better to flee and live to fight another day.

Huo Yunjie glanced at the Giant Earth Ape pounding its chest atop the Demon-locking Tower and then at the faces of the townspeople behind him, filled with terror, and inexplicably, a surge of fighting spirit welled up within him.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!” Huo Yunjie lowered his body, readying himself to draw his sword.

“What a hothead!”

Daoist Wang shrugged his shoulders, but did not flee. Instead, he let out a roar and cast a Second-Grade Spell known as “Giant Spirit Transformation”, turning into a three-meter-tall figure with a rocky skin that seemed extremely strong, capable of fighting at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

“Husband and wife’s Flying Swords!”

The Zhou couple each held a Lower-Grade Spirit Sword, executing this special joint spell. Their auras merged, giving the impression of facing the peak of the ninth level in the Qi Refining Realm.

Baixue Ding was not to be outdone; she threw out five Lower-Grade Talismans. Dangerous auras of wind, thunder, water, and fire spread out, also creating a strong impression.

Huo Yunjie’s hand that held the sword hilt trembled slightly as he thought to himself, are these four people all award-winning actors? Just a moment ago, they talked about fleeing, and now each has burst forth with a powerful aura, seemingly stronger than himself.

At this moment, Huo Yunjie had a weird feeling.

It turns out, I’m the clown!

Thinking thus, he couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth and quickly gripped his sword hilt tighter.

Atop the Demon-locking Tower.

After venting its rage, the Giant Earth Ape looked down and fixed its gaze on the Zhou Couple, who had the strongest combined aura, deeming them the major threat. It then decisively leaped down, aiming for Daoist Wang.

“Damn it! Why me?”

Daoist Wang cursed as he leaped up, punching towards the Giant Earth Ape.

Their fists collided mid-air with a deafening sound.

“Wow!”

Daoist Wang was sent flying, smashing the floor tiles to smithereens.

“Stop your rampage!” The Zhou couple attacked simultaneously with their swords. The sword Qi they slashed out merged into one, the aura formidable.

But with a clap of its palms, the Giant Earth Ape caused the sword Qi to collapse instantly.

“Demon, take this!”

Baixue Ding pushed several Lower-Grade Talismans forward in a circle around the Giant Earth Ape, which exploded with a loud boom into searing thunderous flames.

The Giant Earth Ape howled in pain; one of its eyes had actually gone blind!

“Well done!”

Huo Yunjie was overjoyed. He circled to the side where the Giant Earth Ape was blind and decisively executed his Sword Drawing Technique.

Clang!

The Cold Light Sword seemed to strike age-old glacial ice, failing to penetrate the defense.

“Roar!”

The Giant Earth Ape, enraged, swung back with a slap. Thankfully, Huo Yunjie reacted in time, blocking with his Cold Light Sword, but he was still sent flying over a hundred meters, crashing into a building and being buried beneath the rubble.

“It’s over, he’s probably dead!” Daoist Wang got up from the ground and found that his entire arm was still numb, his heart shook with fear.

“The four of us remaining are no match against it,” the Zhou couple sighed lightly, yet they still wielded their swords, but to no avail as their sword Qi was shattered by the Giant Earth Ape, and they instantly thought of retreating.

Baixue Ding looked worriedly at the rubble covering Huo Yunjie, her almond eyes full of reluctance.

“Demon, die!”

Baixue Ding steeled her heart and in an instant, threw out five Lower-Grade Talismans, which exploded around the Giant Earth Ape.

“Roar!”

The Giant Earth Ape couldn’t dodge in time, and its other eye was blinded. It went on a rampant destruction spree on the spot, its heavy palms leaving palm prints a meter deep in the earth with each slap.

“It’s all over now!”

Daoist Wang quickly withdrew from his Giant Spirit Transformation, reverting to his human form, applied medicine to his arm, and kept retreating.

The Zhou couple shook their heads and also withdrew to a distance.

Baixue Ding looked at the remaining five Lower-Grade Talismans in her hand and suddenly felt overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness.

Could it be, the Ancient Town of Quicksand was going to be destroyed by the Giant Earth Ape?

She really couldn’t accept it!

“Roar!”

The Giant Earth Ape roared in fury, ramming into the surroundings, reducing the area to rubble. Fortunately, most of the townspeople had fled during the night, resulting in few casualties.

Detecting the scent of other people, the Giant Earth Ape began to sprint towards the areas with more people, chasing after those fleeing townsfolk.

“Be careful!”

Baixue Ding shouted a warning.

But at that moment, a figure burst forth from the ground, leaping into the air behind the Giant Earth Ape, and performed a beautiful backflip over its head, slapping a talisman onto the ape’s forehead in passing.

Afterward, the Giant Earth Ape stopped moving!

With a “thud,” the figure fell to the ground, chest soaked in blood, gasping for air, and shouted at everyone, “What are you waiting for? My Lower Grade Stabilizing Talisman won’t hold for long, attack now!”

This person was none other than Huo Yunjie!

After being swatted away by the Giant Earth Ape, Huo Yunjie hastily cast the “Iron Shield Technique” to block the hit, but still ended up injured.

Later, Huo Yunjie simply used “Earth Escape” to hide underground, finally seizing this opportunity to successfully apply the Lower Grade Stabilizing Talisman to the Giant Earth Ape.

“Attack!”

Baixue Ding, Daoist Wang, and the Zhou Couple had not expected Huo Yunjie to still be alive, let alone immobilize the Giant Earth Ape. Without pausing to rejoice, they hurled their most powerful spells and talismans at it.

Boom!

Terrifying blasts of energy struck the Giant Earth Ape, now a sitting duck, covering its body in wounds and causing its blood to flow freely. Eventually, its neck was torn open by the force of the blows, and it collapsed with a thunderous sound.

“We did it!”

Huo Yunjie lay under a tree, letting out a sigh of relief.

Although he had lost the Lower Grade Stabilizing Talisman in the process, he had been able to help everyone slay the Giant Earth Ape that wreaked havoc, making it well worth the sacrifice.

“Let me help you.”

Baixue Ding ran over and supported Huo Yunjie, meeting up with Daoist Wang and the Zhou Couple.

“We didn’t expect Brother Huo to be so formidable. Without your Stabilizing Talisman, we wouldn’t have had the chance to kill this demon,” the Zhou Couple thanked Huo Yunjie with a bow.

“Well done!” Even the aloof Daoist Wang spoke up.

“It’s only right,” Huo Yunjie downed a Lower Grade Healing Qi Pill and found his wounds healed significantly, enough for him to stand firmly.

“Screech!”

Just when the five of them were celebrating, a piercing cry resounded from the sky above, shaking many people within the Ancient Town of Quicksand, causing them to vomit blood and collapse to the ground.

Even the five high-ranking Qi Refining Realm individuals, including Huo Yunjie, felt a sense of terror and trepidation.

They looked up to see a strange lizard with a wingspan of ten meters or more hovering in the air, casting a dreadful shadow over the ground against the backlight of the moon.

Its cold, cruel eyes glowed menacingly, making it unbearable for anyone to look directly at them!

“It’s a half-transformed Flying Frenzy Lizard! I’ve heard the old people say that around this time, it should be hibernating in the deep mountains, shouldn’t it?” Baixue Ding’s face turned pale.

“Perhaps, it was attracted by the smell of the Giant Earth Ape’s blood and the vibrations from the battle,” the Zhou Couple analyzed.

“What’s there to talk about, let’s run!” Daoist Wang scurried away agilely like a large rabbit, disappearing in an instant.

“We take our leave!” The Zhou Couple also made themselves scarce.

“Run for it!” Without a second thought, Huo Yunjie pulled Baixue Ding into a stone house to take cover.

“Screech!”

The Flying Frenzy Lizard paid no attention to the people, but instead glared venomously at the Demon-locking Tower. With a flap of its wings, it descended like a meteorite, easily smashing the pagoda that had stood for three hundred years to dust.

Afterward, its cold eyes swept around, eventually fixing on the stone house where Baixue Ding and Huo Yunjie were hiding.

Looking through the crack in the stone house at the Flying Frenzy Lizard, Huo Yunjie felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Baixue Ding, only at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, was now so pressured by the terrifying aura that she was rigid, unable to move.

“It’s over!”

At that moment, both Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding had the same thought.
