In Liang Qiu and Meng Han's vision, Su Zimo was not far away and seemed to be within reach.
However, in reality, there were dozens of Grade 2 formations between them.
A year ago, on the night Night Spirit killed the Shadow Rat, Su Zimo had already realized that someone in the capital wanted his life!
In fact, one day in the future, Perfected Jin Dan might even come to assassinate him!
The difference between the Foundation Establishment realm and Jin Dan realm was too great.
Even though Su Zimo was both an immortal and demonic cultivator and released his full power of blood qi, he could not take on Perfected Jin Dan head-on.
If Perfected Jin Dan were to arrive, he would almost certainly die!
However, this was the capital of Great Zhou after all.
What Su Zimo wanted to do was not to take on Perfected Jin Dan head-on, but to stall for time!
As long as he could hold out for a short period of time and wait for the guards of the capital to arrive, Perfected Jin Dan's assassination attempt would be for naught!
For this day, Su Zimo set up many Grade 2 formations outside that were interconnected. Even if Perfected Jin Dan was trapped, it would be difficult for him to break out of the formations within a short period of time.
There were dozens of formations that were a combination of illusion, trap and killing formations. Although they were also Grade 2 formations, they were almost at the peak of Grade 2 formations!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Liang Qiu and Meng Han released spirit arts continuously and lights shone through the night skies as the sounds of formations shattering echoed.
In the blink of an eye, another two breaths passed.
Four breaths had passed since the two of them were exposed.
However, the two of them were still trapped in the formation and did not rush out.
"Hmm?"
Sensing the urgency of time, Meng Han's expression changed slightly as he said coldly, "Just how many formations did that person set up?"
In two breaths, the two of them had destroyed at least ten formations but they still did not rush out of this place!
If this continued, the two of them would probably die in the formation before they could even see Su Zimo.
Liang Qiu withdrew a talisman from his storage bag and injected spirit energy with a vicious glint in his eyes.
Whoosh!
The talisman floated in midair and shone with three incomparably dazzling spirit patterns, emitting an incomparably tyrannical energy fluctuation that was getting increasingly intense!
Third Tier Talisman!
Su Zimo's heart trembled.
The aura released by that Grade 3 talisman was even more terrifying than the combined attacks of Liang Qiu and Meng Han!
If Su Zimo were to be struck by the explosive power of this talisman, his body would be instantly pierced through!
The talisman shattered.
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening boom, the ground in Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop shook violently.
The bluestone shattered, the soil was overturned, and the house shook as if it could collapse at any moment. Countless dust rustled down.
A ball of blazing and dazzling brilliance burst out from the center of the shattered talisman, like the arrival of a scorching sun, and a force that was almost destructive swept out in all directions!
Initially, there were more than 30 Grade 2 formations around Liang Qiu and Meng Han.
Even though they did not know anything about formations, the two of them could break through the formations with brute force. Ten breaths was more than enough for them to break through the formations.
However, even if they could break through the formations, their mission for this trip would be considered a failure.
Time was of the essence.
Therefore, Liang Qiu had no choice but to release that Grade 3 talisman.
That was his strongest offensive method that he had exchanged for with almost all his assets – it was also his final trump card.
After the talisman shattered, the terrifying power destroyed more than 30 Grade 2 formations instantly.
There were only five breaths left.
The moment the formations shattered, Night Spirit moved.
A black shadow flashed by. Under the cover of the night, it was difficult to discern with the naked eye and arrived before Liang Qiu almost instantly.
Ten sharp claws silently extended from the gaps between the fingers. They were sharp, long, and curved slightly, like ten gigantic hooks that shone with a cold glint!
There was almost no way to break free from those claws!
Night Spirit's front claws gripped Liang Qiu's shoulders instantly while its back claws stomped on Liang Qiu's ribs. At the same time, it opened its beastly mouth and bit towards Liang Qiu's neck.
It was a simple action but Liang Qiu's entire body was restrained!
His shoulders were locked and his arms were crippled. With its back claws piercing into his ribs, not only could it pierce his organs instantly, it could also change its move at any time to defend against Liang Qiu's legs.
That was not the end.
Night Spirit's spear-like tailbone shone with a dark, cold glint and had already pierced towards Liang Qiu's dantian silently!
The strongest method of every Perfected Jin Dan was to self-destruct their Jin Dan.
The self-detonation of the Golden Core would instantly unleash an extremely terrifying force that could even kill cultivators of the same level!
Of course, once a Perfected Jin Dan chose to self-destruct, the self-destructing Perfected Jin Dan would definitely die without a corpse.
Therefore, no Perfected Jin Dan would choose to self-destruct until the last moment.
In fact, the vast majority of Perfected Jin Dan would not choose to self-destruct until the moment of their death.
Not everyone had the courage to self-destruct.
However, once Night Spirit's tail pierced Liang Qiu's dantian, it meant that Liang Qiu would not even have the chance to self-destruct!
There was no way for him to retreat!
Night Spirit's attack could be said to be perfect and there were almost no flaws. Every single detail was executed to the limits of its ability to kill!
In order to possess such brilliant combat techniques, one would often have to go through countless life-and-death battles and escape from the jaws of death before they could be honed.
However, Night Spirit was a complete exception.
No one taught it those things.
However, those things seemed to have been fused into its bones and were deeply rooted. It was as if they were innate talents that were passed down in its bloodline.
The moment Night Spirit lunged forward, Liang Qiu was shocked and a hint of panic flashed through his eyes.
However, he was a Perfected Jin Dan after all!
Furthermore, he was a Perfected Jin Dan who had lived for close to 500 years. In his lifetime, he had seen and experienced way too many battles and killings!
Liang Qiu's speed could not compare to Night Spirit's. If he chose to dodge instinctively at this moment, he would definitely die!
Liang Qiu suppressed the panic in his heart and had a calm expression. He tapped his storage bag and a protection talisman appeared in his palm which he crushed immediately.
Whoosh!
A barrier appeared on the surface of Liang Qiu's body and shone with a blazing light, bursting forth with a shocking power.
All of Night Spirit's killing moves were blocked by the protection talisman.
Night Spirit's body was repelled by the power of the protection talisman as well.
Liang Qiu was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
Crack! Crack!
Crack! The light barrier shattered and dimmed.
Although Liang Qiu was unscathed, Night Spirit's single lunge destroyed a Grade 3 protection talisman!
As for Liang Qiu, he relied on the Grade 3 talisman to prolong his life and gain a breather.
"Beast, how dare you!"
Liang Qiu was enraged. Jin Dan channeled and an incomparably pure spirit energy burst forth. Conjuring hand seals with his left hand, he waved his right hand and a frosty sword qi pierced towards Night Spirit's head instantly.
The moment Night Spirit missed its attack, he already realized that something was amiss.
Pshew!
A cold light flashed. Both parties were too close. Coupled with the fact that Liang Qiu attacked with all his might in a rage, the flying sword arrived almost instantly!
Night Spirit tilted his head with all his might and avoided a fatal blow. A flash of blood appeared.
A bone-deep wound appeared on Night Spirit's cheek and blood flowed profusely.
In reality, given Liang Qiu's strength as a Jin Dan, even if Night Spirit avoided a fatal blow, the sword qi on the sword was enough to slice Night Spirit's head into two!
However, it was the pitch-black scales on Night Spirit's cheeks that blocked most of the damage from the sword qi and saved its life.
Although it was merely a single exchange, it was already perilous!
If the man and beast did not deal with it properly, both of them would die on the spot!
