After a hundred breaths, the burly man had slashed more than ten times and destroyed more than thirty defensive talismans. He was so tired that he was panting.
The burly man was out of breath. "Kid, how many talismans do you have? Are you done yet? I don't believe that I can't kill you."
After saying that, he continued to slash at Wang Daoyuan with his sword. Wang Daoyuan was not feeling well either. Although he had the Golden Armor Talisman, his body would still bear part of the force. Although it was only a small part, after more than ten attacks, Wang Daoyuan still felt his Qi and blood surging.
Taking a beating without fighting back was not Wang Daoyuan's character. He took out a few Wood Thorn Talismans and threw them at the burly man. A few wooden thorns as thick as an adult's arm appeared out of thin air and stabbed at the burly man.
The wooden thorns collided with the armor and disappeared without a trace. The armor also dimmed a little. Wang Daoyuan did not expect these wooden thorns to be of much use. His goal was to consume the burly man's spirit energy.
Among the five elements, wood countered earth. Although the wood element's attacks were weak, the efficiency of consuming the opponent's spirit energy was much higher than the other elements.
If this continued, with more than four hundred grade one talismans and a few grade two talismans, it was not certain who would be the one to die.
Of course, this was under the condition that the opponent did not have any other secret techniques. If the opponent had an offensive secret technique, even if it was not very strong, a grade two secret technique could destroy a seventh level Qi Refinement cultivator. Even with a defensive talisman, it would be difficult to withstand.
It was not a solution to continue wasting time like this. Neither of them wanted to continue wasting time. After all, this place was only about a hundred miles away from the battlefield. Wang Daoyuan was afraid that others would chase after him. At that time, he would not be able to escape.
The burly man wanted to take all the things on Wang Daoyuan. If others came to help, he would share a portion. Wang Daoyuan was throwing out talismans as if they were free. He was obviously a big fat sheep. It would be a loss to share it with others. If the people who came to help had evil intentions and took care of him, it would be a huge loss.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to waste any more time. He took out a Spirit Travel Talisman and quickly fled towards the east.
When the burly man saw that Wang Daoyuan had escaped, not only did he not get angry, he became happy instead.
They had been fighting here for quite some time, and were worried that someone would come to intercept them. But this brat took the initiative to change the location of the battle. When I deal with him later, I won't torture him anymore. I'll just give him a quick death.
As for whether or not he could take down Wang Daoyuan, he had never considered this question. He was a first level Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could there be an accident if he wanted to take down a junior at the seventh level of Qi Disciple? How could a cooked duck fly away?
This Qi Condensation junior was dead for sure. Even a Core Formation ancestor could not save him.
However, the kid's speed of escape was a little too fast. You're bullying me because I'm cultivating an earth attribute cultivation technique and my speed is slow.
The burly man had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and had yet to learn the Sword Kinesis Technique, so he couldn't fly on his sword. He could only exhaust his spiritual energy and chase after the burly man on his two legs. Because of his cultivation technique, he couldn't catch up to Wang Daoyuan who was using the Divine Travel Talisman.
The burly man chased with all his might, gradually shortening the distance. When he was within the range of Wang Daoyuan's talismans, he would be thrown a few offensive talismans. The burly man could only condense an earth armor to defend against the attacks.
As a result, the burly man had to slow down or even stop, pulling the distance between him and Wang Daoyuan apart once more.
The two of them chased for more than ten hours and ran for more than a thousand miles. At such a long distance, there shouldn't be anyone who would be monitoring a thousand miles away. Furthermore, there were countless mountains of various sizes between this place and the Carriage Gorge battlefield.
Wang Daoyuan arrived at a valley. This place could be considered as picturesque. Killing the lad here could be considered as not letting him down.
After being chased for more than a thousand miles, Wang Daoyuan had a rough understanding of the burly man's background. This guy had just reached Foundation Establishment and hadn't had the time to cultivate the Sword Kinesis Technique and level two spells. Compared to a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refinement, his spiritual energy was more abundant and his level one spells were more powerful. In terms of fighting techniques, there was no qualitative improvement.
This guy could only bully cultivators below the peak of Qi Refinement. Not to mention other Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if he wanted to take down a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refinement, it would take a lot of effort. The best cultivators at the peak of Qi Refinement, such as the Twelfth Uncle, could even kill him.
Wang Daoyuan made an analysis of the burly man's personality and other aspects. This guy seriously lacked experience in the pugilistic world and didn't have enough analysis of the enemy's strength. Moreover, he was too simple-minded. When he saw that Wang Daoyuan was rich, he chased after him like a mad dog.
This guy had consumed so much spiritual energy and didn't know any level two spells. At this time, his combat strength was only at the peak of Qi Refinement, and it wasn't the strong kind. Of course, his physical body was still much stronger than the peak of Qi Refinement, but as long as he didn't cultivate the Body Tempering Technique, he could kill him with a Golden Sword Talisman.
At this time, he didn't realize that he might be killed. He was most likely a disciple of some force living under the protection of his elders. This was the first time he came out to do something.
This guy's status in his sect or family shouldn't be too high. After fighting for a long time, he had been using that khaki-colored long sword. He didn't have any talismans or other magic weapons, nor did he have any powerful spells. If he really had powerful elders, how could he be so poor?
If the burly man could hear Wang Daoyuan's thoughts, he would definitely cry. If he wasn't so poor that he went crazy, why would he spend so much effort to chase a Qi Refinement junior for thousands of miles?
His name was Zhang Dacheng, and he was a disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, the strongest of the three major sects of the Zhao State. His parents were ordinary people, and he joined the Thousand Spirits Sect. He didn't have any connections to find a master, so he was just an ordinary disciple. After working hard for decades in the sect, he finally saved enough contribution points to exchange for a Foundation-Building Pill and successfully built his foundation.
However, his assets were reduced to what they were before he was liberated overnight. Apart from this top-grade level-one magic weapon, he had nothing else that he could take out. He didn't even have the contribution points to learn the standard sword control technique for Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone a level-two magic weapon.
This time, the Thousand Spirits Sect was scheming against the Underworld Sect. When he heard that there was a chance to get some spirit stones, he volunteered to earn some extra money.
Long before he took action, he was still lying in ambush in the distance when he noticed Wang Daoyuan.
Wang Daoyuan's behavior of scattering talismans made him think that this was a fat sheep. Not to mention other things, just the pile of talismans that he took out was worth one or two thousand spirit stones! Moreover, Wang Daoyuan didn't care about those talismans at all, which made him even more certain that this fat sheep was overflowing with oil.
As long as he could take down this fat sheep, he could exchange for the sword control technique and even buy a level-two magic weapon.
Wealth moved people's hearts. When Wang Daoyuan escaped underground, Zhang Dacheng didn't hesitate to chase after him. Wang Daoyuan escaped ten feet underground, and even with his divine sense, he couldn't track him.
However, the Thousand Spirits Sect was famous for controlling insects and beasts. Which disciple didn't raise spirit beasts or spirit insects? Zhang Dacheng was no exception. He raised an Earth-Drilling Mouse. An adult Earth-Drilling Mouse had peak level-one strength. With enough resources, it had a high chance of breaking through to level-two.
The Earth-Drilling Mouse wasn't good at fighting, and its only specialty was escaping underground. Zhang Dacheng's Earth-Drilling Mouse was peak level-one and could easily travel three hundred feet underground. Its speed was far faster than cultivators of the same level who used the Earth Escape Technique.
Wang Daoyuan used the Earth Escape Talisman to travel ten feet underground, and the Earth-Drilling Mouse followed behind him. It could be said that Wang Daoyuan couldn't escape from Zhang Dacheng's sight.
Just as Wang Daoyuan had guessed, Zhang Dacheng had never gone out to train and had entered the sect since he was young. Even when he accumulated contribution points, he did things in the sect. This was the first time he had left the sect since he started cultivating.
