At the same time, the other Cultivators released various colored Spells and Talismans to form a defensive light shield.
Especially the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, who revealed a look of dread, not only did a top-grade Magical Artifact, a small copper bell, appear in his hand, but he also took out an Intermediate Mid-Grade Talisman, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Yang Che knew that these people were already on guard, and it would probably not be so easy to ambush them again with just the Flying Fire Needles.
However, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
All the remaining Flying Fire Needles suddenly concentrated in one place, directly beheading the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator, Wang San, who had already been trapped by over a hundred Flying Fire Needles and had a broken leg.
Afterward, Yang Che found the three gray Formation Flags on Xiushi.
"Kill him."
After a moment of astonishment, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator immediately shouted loudly, taking the lead in urging the small copper bell to fly towards Yang Che's head.
The other Cultivators also continuously cast Spells or threw Talismans, attacking Yang Che one after another.
A layer of dark thunderclouds had already appeared around Yang Che's body.
His expression was cold; he merely glanced at these Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators, then focused his gaze on the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
The small copper bell flew over Yang Che's head, directly expanding, and a bright yellow light burst forth from it.
With a loud 'Om', it fiercely slammed down towards Yang Che's head.
Yang Che's eardrums felt a slight sting, and Wind Severing Shadow was instantly cast.
With a 'clang', the copper bell struck the ground, causing the ground to shake and surrounding houses to collapse.
Yang Che darted several feet away, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
He judged in his heart that this copper bell should be a high-quality item among top-grade Magical Artifacts; it was even possible that unknown materials were added during its refining, making its power far exceed that of ordinary top-grade Magical Artifacts, despite being only a top-grade Magical Artifact.
Seeing that the copper bell's attack missed, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator showed a hint of regret, then immediately urged the copper bell to fly back and suspend above his own head.
At this moment, Yang Che discovered that two Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators were actually trying to sneak attack him from behind.
With a cold snort, Yang Che directly condensed a 'Lightning Chain Thunder Spear' and split it into two, piercing through the heads of these two Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators with a backhand strike.
Only then did these Cultivators truly realize Yang Che's terrifying power.
A Cultivator who was only at the peak of the twelfth level of the Qi Refinement Stage could instantly kill a Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivator and even contend with a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator without being at a disadvantage.
This far exceeded the understanding of these Cultivators, causing their hearts to tremble with shock and horror.
Five Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators had already developed the intention to retreat, quietly backing away and stepping onto their flying Magical Artifacts, intending to escape immediately.
A cold sneer flashed in Yang Che's eyes.
Since he had come here, he had already made up his mind to kill them all, leaving no one behind, to eliminate future troubles.
So how could he let these people escape?
Stepping onto the Dunjxing Shuo, a stream of light flashed.
Three hundred and sixty Flying Fire Needles split into five groups.
Five streams of light, like sharp cones, accelerated to their extreme speed, directly piercing through the brows of these five Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators.
Yang Che, whose true cultivation was already close to the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase, could 'instantly kill' Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators.
The remaining few Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators were completely terrified by now, knowing that this plain-looking young man was simply not someone they could contend with.
Those who could Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage were naturally not ordinary individuals; although they were extremely afraid, they still thought of their side having a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator in the first instance.
Thus, several of them hid behind the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, and one of the Early Stage Cultivators even directly crushed a sound transmission Jade Slip in his hand.
Seeing this, Yang Che decided to end the fight quickly.
The commotion from the fight here was different from that in the rented small courtyard; the scale was already very large, and it would likely attract the attention of other Cultivators soon.
As his thoughts flickered, Yang Che had already taken out the 'Flying Sword Talisman Treasure' he had obtained from Liu Hanyan.
Injecting his magical power, he activated this Talisman Treasure almost instantly.
Yang Che couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, with the art of mind and spirit refinement, was indeed different; he could now instantly activate this Talisman Treasure.
Without any hesitation, he urged the Talisman Treasure Flying Sword, which was as swift as lightning, to slash towards the Cultivators in front of him.
The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator's expression changed when he saw Yang Che using a Talisman Treasure.
The huge copper bell boomed down, shielding him and a few Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators.
However, one Early Stage Cultivator, who was a little further away, had terrible luck.
It was unclear whether the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator did it intentionally or if the copper bell's protective range was truly limited, leaving this Cultivator exposed.
Yang Che's Talisman Treasure Flying Sword instantly cut off this person's head and then fiercely pierced into the copper bell, which was emitting a bright yellow light.
Inside the copper bell, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator also took out a 'Talisman Treasure' and activated it in a very short time.
It was a small, jade-green knife.
After this small knife appeared, it shot out from a small hole at the top of the huge copper bell, directly slashing at Yang Che.
Yang Che's expression hardened, and he immediately took out an Intermediate Early Stage defensive Talisman, the 'Profound Armor Talisman', and slapped it fiercely onto his body.
A burst of white light erupted, and a thick layer of white armor immediately formed an inch from Yang Che's body.
The jade-green small knife slashed onto the thunderclouds in front of Yang Che, causing the dark thunderclouds to immediately begin to vibrate.
Before long, the thunderclouds shattered, and the green light on the jade-green small knife dimmed a bit, continuing to slash onto Yang Che's white armor.
On the other side, the Flying Sword that Yang Che was urging had already pierced into the copper bell's yellow light, forming a sharp inward protrusion, and it seemed that with more abundant magical power support, given enough time, it would surely pierce through this copper bell.
The two sides instantly reached a stalemate, turning into a contest of magical power consumption.
As a result, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator inside the copper bell couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief, a hint of secret smugness flashing in his eyes.
He was naturally not afraid of a magical power consumption contest and held a clear advantage.
However, in the next moment, his pupils constricted, and he was inexplicably horrified.
The few Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators looked ashen, and despair rose in their hearts.
At this moment, another Talisman Treasure actually appeared in front of Yang Che.
The Mountain Sea Seal Talisman Treasure.
This Talisman Treasure came directly above the copper bell.
A massive golden seal, comparable to the size of a house, emitted an astonishing aura, and streaks of golden light fell, enveloping the copper bell within.
"Fellow Daoist, this old man admits defeat. Let's talk things over, please do not act."
Seeing that it was a matter of life and death, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator immediately begged for mercy.
Yang Che coldly asked, "Then do you know which two Cultivation Families offered a bounty for my head?"
Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator's eyes struggled for only a moment before he immediately said, "It's the Jiang Family of Jiang Huo City and the Liu Family of Wulong Valley."
Compared to life and death, certain rules naturally became less important.
'Boom'
As soon as the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator finished speaking, the huge golden seal crashed down.
The yellow-lighted copper bell only held on for a moment before being smashed, and the few Cultivators inside were directly crushed into meat paste.
Only a tattered, flattened copper bell, its light dim, remained in the large pit.
Yang Che quickly retrieved the Flying Sword Talisman Treasure and the Mountain Sea Seal Talisman Treasure.
Along with the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator's jade-green small knife Talisman Treasure and the broken copper bell, they were naturally all collected into the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.
It was just a pity about that Intermediate Mid-Grade Talisman; as the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator turned into meat paste, this Talisman also did not escape its fate.
"The Jiang Family of Jiang Huo City..."
Yang Che murmured to himself, an inexplicable sense of extreme unease rising in his heart.
His expression was grim; after a slight contemplation, he stepped onto the Dunjxing Shuo and rapidly flew towards the city gate.
"Hmph, trying to run? Since you've delivered yourself into my trap in Jiang Huo City, how can I be worthy of the bounty offered by my Jiang Family if I don't skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and refine your soul?"
An incomparably ancient voice sounded like a ghost.
A streak of Escape Light swiftly pursued Yang Che.
"A Golden Core Stage Cultivator!"
Yang Che's heart sank.
A Mid-Grade Spirit Stone appeared in his hand; while frantically replenishing his magical power, the Dunjxing Shuo's speed increased once again.
"Transmit, to the Jiang Family members controlling the great formation, activate the flight Restriction."
After the ancient voice quickly transmitted the message, a mocking cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he continued to shoot towards Yang Che with his Escape Light .
