Yang Che's goal was to stall this strange person so that Xing Yao could successfully cast her spell, so he immediately went on the defensive, trying his best to buy time.

Now that his cultivation had advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, his Divine Sense had also strengthened, and he could finally control thirty-six Flying Fire Needles simultaneously.

Once he could control at least thirty-six Flying Fire Needles at the same time, many advanced Moves of 'Flying Fire Meteor' could finally be used.

Not only that, but more importantly, he could finally set up the 'Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation'.

The method for setting up the 'Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation' quickly appeared in his mind.

Although he couldn't form this formation before, he had already virtually practiced it countless times.

"Seeking death."

That 'Wang Yue' had a ferocious expression; being blocked by a Cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining completely infuriated her.

She began to mumble again, her indistinct, eerie voice like the low whisper of a ghost.

Soon, the blood light on her four arms flared again, splitting into two once more, becoming eight arms.

Each arm actually had a grotesque ghost head, tightly biting a black long saber in its mouth.

"Die for this old woman."

Wang Yue unleashed eight sabers simultaneously, their speed startling Yang Che.

Eight black Saber Qi instantly blasted towards Yang Che.

Yang Che dared not dodge, because behind him was Xing Yao, who was casting a spell with all her might.

Fortunately, he was very clear about the gap between his strength and that strange Wang Yue, so he had already clutched the 'Silver Armor Talisman' in his palm beforehand.

Thus, the moment the blood light burst from Wang Yue's arms, he had already chanted the incantation and slapped the Silver Armor Talisman onto his body.

A burst of silver light erupted, and the Silver Armor Talisman transformed into silver armor, just as the eight black Saber Qi roared in.

A series of teeth-grinding friction sounds, 'bang, bang, bang, bang, bang', echoed as the protective armor formed by the Silver Armor Talisman was completely shattered by the black Saber Qi.

However, only four of the eight black Saber Qi remained.

The first Saber Qi slammed into Yang Che, instantly causing him intense pain all over, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer."

These were the words Xing Yao had said to Yang Che earlier, and now Yang Che returned them to Xing Yao.

As the second Saber Qi struck, a fierce look appeared in Yang Che's eyes, and thirty-six Flying Fire Needles spun rapidly, forming a strange shape in front of him.

As the third Saber Qi struck, Yang Che spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, and at the same time, he horrifyingly felt that all the magical power in his body was being absorbed by the thirty-six Flying Fire Needles.

As the fourth Saber Qi struck, Yang Che felt like a duckweed on water, completely unable to stand, his body swaying precariously.

At this moment, the thirty-six Flying Fire Needles, which had almost drained all of Yang Che's spiritual power, finally burst into brilliant light.

Each needle actually became as thick as a nail, strangely forming a sharp cone, whistling and fiercely shooting towards 'Wang Yue', whose expression had drastically changed.

Yang Che finally set up the 'Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation' for the first time.

But there was not a trace of magical power left in his body, and his vision blurred for a moment.

Wang Yue was both shocked and enraged; she had somehow drawn the Black Jade Spider to block in front of her.

The 'sharp cone' formed by the thirty-six Flying Fire Needles was extremely fast, instantly piercing through the Black Jade Spider and stabbing towards Wang Yue.

A strange black mist rose from Wang Yue's entire body, swirling and entangling the sharp cone, actually forming a stalemate.

At this moment, Wang Yue was horrified.

Previously, she had thought this plain-looking young man was merely a lowly Cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but now she dared not show the slightest contempt.

But if this was all the young man's tricks, then she would still be the ultimate victor.

However, just then, an incomparably powerful and scorching aura suddenly locked onto her.

"Not good."

At this moment, Wang Yue showed fear for the first time.

Yang Che had already fallen to the ground, but he saw that an incomparably huge 'Spirit Bird' phantom had appeared above the stone hall at some point.

The Spirit Bird shrieked, emitting a terrifying and horrifying flame aura around its body; with just a simple dive, it pierced through the black mist-shrouded Wang Yue, and then Wang Yue let out a shrill roar: "No, no, no..."

In a flash, Wang Yue turned into ashes, completely disappearing between heaven and earth.

"What kind of Talisman is this, to be so powerful?"

Yang Che was shocked, and his eyes burned with fervor.

Then he remembered that when Wang Yue saw this Talisman earlier, she had said the words 'Talisman Treasure'.

Talisman Treasure, Yang Che firmly remembered this name.

After swallowing another Nourishing Yuan Pill, Yang Che helplessly discovered that only two Nourishing Yuan Pills were left.

He struggled to sit up, trying hard to recover.

However, with a glance, he found that Xing Yao also looked dispirited, as if activating that 'Talisman Treasure' had exhausted all her magical power.

At this moment, Yang Che suddenly thought of an extremely serious problem.

If Xing Yao recovered her magical power cultivation to the Peak of Qi Refining, then he would be in danger.

What was even worse was that Wang Yue was dead, turned to ashes; from now on, there would be no evidence regarding the matter of that male Cultivator surnamed Chen and Wang Yue trying to snatch from him.

Even if he told Xing Yao the truth, Xing Yao might not believe it.

Having just eliminated a powerful enemy, Yang Che felt himself once again in grave danger.

And thinking of Xing Yao still having that terrifyingly powerful 'Talisman Treasure'...

It seems that if he gets out of this place, he must somehow acquire some life-saving trump cards.

Thinking of 'life-saving trump cards', Yang Che immediately thought of the 'Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation', and instantly felt invigorated, regaining immense confidence.

Just now, he had only awkwardly set up the Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation for the first time, but its powerful might already filled Yang Che with joy.

Once the Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation was set up, with more abundant magical power, he could naturally use its offensive and defensive power more flexibly.

Just now, his magical power was drained, causing him to be unable to continue controlling the formation afterwards.

Moreover, this was only composed of thirty-six Flying Fire Needles.

If it were seventy-two, one hundred and eight, up to the final three hundred and sixty, the power would be unimaginable.

The more Yang Che thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl, but the intense pain throughout his body made him yelp 'ouch', and then he quickly sat down to recover seriously.

Xing Yao, who was beside him, glanced at Yang Che without speaking, then also closed her eyes tightly, fully recovering her magical power.

An hour later.

Thanks to the efficacy of the Nourishing Yuan Pill, Yang Che had recovered enough to barely stand up; he stood up, glanced at Xing Yao, and internally judged whether he could kill her, and after confirming that the risk was extremely high and he had no confidence, he sighed helplessly and prepared to sneak away quietly.

"Stop."

Xing Yao suddenly opened her eyes and stood up as well.

"Fellow Daoist, what is it?"

Yang Che was actually extremely uneasy inside, but his expression was as calm as water, and at the same time, he was fully on guard, ready to defend and flee at any moment.

"Give me that metal disk."

Xing Yao was not in a very good mood at the moment.

The death of a Junior Sister with whom she had a rather good relationship, and the expenditure of one 'Talisman Treasure' power, made her feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

Seeing Yang Che hesitate, Xing Yao said again: "This thing doesn't belong to you, does it?"

Hearing this, Yang Che felt a little displeased and said with a slight hint of sarcasm:

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? You don't really think I snatched this thing from your Chen Shidi, do you?"

"What, is it not?"

Xing Yao's eyes gradually turned cold.

Even she had accidentally fallen victim to this young man's strange poisonous smoke before, so it would naturally be even easier for Chen Shidi, whose cultivation was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, to be poisoned and then robbed.
