The sun was shining, the sky was clear, people were coming and going on the street, it was noisy and lively, as usual.
In the talisman shop, Li An was sitting behind the counter reading a book.
"Do you have a talisman for sale?"
The customer who walked into the store, dressed in a wide robe with big sleeves, looked elegant and smiled at Li An.
Li An's heart suddenly sank, but there was no expression on his face. He stood up enthusiastically and said:
"Talisman for breaking the taboo... Of course, what grade do you want? How much do you want?"
As he said this, he had put down the book in his hand and went to pour tea himself. While pouring tea, he touched one of the jade teacups.
"Please have tea first..."
He offered the teacup with both hands.
A hint of sneer appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes. The little trick of the talisman master did not escape his eyes, but he still just said lightly:
"No need, I want thirty forbidden-breaking talismans, do you have them?"
"Of course, there are, but there are only five in the store. The others are in the warehouse. You can wait for me here..."
"No, I'll go with you to get them."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Li An's face, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."
He turned around and walked quickly into the inner hall.
The middle-aged man followed him calmly.
...
Next door.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
In a dark room, Jing Ao, who was meditating, was instantly awakened by the sound of a spirit bell!
"The demon cultivator has entered the store and started!"
Jing Ao's face was solemn. The spirit bell was monitoring the situation in the store.
"Surround!"
He spoke immediately!
...
At the same time.
Outside the market.
Boom!
In the sky, a black flame suddenly appeared and attacked Qingyang Market.
Qingyang Market's formation lit up instantly and protected itself.
Bang!
A huge impact sounded over Qingyang Market.
All of a sudden, everyone in the market was shocked.
"What happened?"
"The market was attacked!"
"What happened? Who dared to attack Qingyang Market!"
"That flame... It's a demon cultivator again, another demon cultivator!"
The streets were in complete chaos, and many people looked at the sky in horror.
And above the sky, more than a dozen powerful demon cultivators had appeared, emitting terrifying demonic energy.
One of them wore a horse-faced mask, and his aura was very shocking.
"The life-seeking horse-faced!"
"It's him again!"
"He's here again... It's over, is the market safe this time?!"
Everyone spoke up.
"Soul-seeking Horse-Faced, how dare you invade this place!"
The voice of Yu Xiong, a great cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, has also been heard. His figure appears directly above the sky, presiding over the formation and resisting the attacks from outside the sky.
"It's a Foundation Establishment Stage demon cultivator... is it really the Soul-seeking Horse-Faced?!"
Yu Xiong was surprised when they just started fighting!
A terrible thought flashed through his mind. According to the news from the sect, shouldn't the Soul-seeking Horse-Faced appear in the convoy transporting spiritual medicine?
Why is he outside the market now?
The plan... went wrong?
...
At the same time.
On a mountain road dozens of miles away from Qingyang Market.
A team of people and horses were moving slowly. The horses in the team were all first-class middle-grade scale horses, and there were even Foundation Establishment Stage masters in the team.
However, just after passing a forest, there were sudden explosions on the road, and black demonic energy continued to surge.
Boom!
The demon cultivators who were ambushing around appeared instantly.
One of them even exuded the aura of the foundation-building period, and wore a horse-faced mask on his face.
"The life-claiming horse-faced mask!"
The foundation-building cultivators in the convoy roared!
...
Qingyang Market.
The sound of the surging protective array had already come from the sky.
As soon as he turned into the small garden in the inner hall, Li An suddenly burst out, leaping forward like a spirit leopard, and kicked the flower pot to pieces!
Two talismans were thrown out at the same time!
First-level superior talisman - Fire Explosion Talisman!
Two fireballs exploded in front of the middle-aged man.
But the middle-aged man just sneered and raised his hand to wipe away the traces of the fireballs.
The first-level superior talisman was like water in front of him, unable to make a splash!
Foundation-building demon cultivator? !
Li An was shocked and his face changed. He originally thought that the person who came to kill him was at most at the peak of Qi training.
After all, there are not many foundation-building cultivators in this area of the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, only the Soul-Calling Horse-Faced Demon.
Could it be that the Soul-Calling Horse-Faced Demon did not go to the medicinal materials, but came here?
How is this possible...
But a terrible thought flashed through Li An's mind!
All his speculations were based on the Soul-Calling Horse-Faced Demon's need for the third-grade medicinal materials.
What if the Soul-Calling Horse-Faced Demon himself had already obtained the third-grade medicinal materials? !
Then for the Soul-Calling Horse-Faced Demon, the most important thing is Li An's inner demon, and the third-grade medicinal materials are dispensable...
Then the situation facing Li An will be completely reversed.
But, this thought flashed through Li An's heart, and he instead inspired an unprecedented courage. In his previous life, he cultivated to the Jindan realm, and he had gone through countless life and death tribulations. Although he has been practicing steadily, when the unavoidable danger comes, he will not be afraid, but will only go all out!
He suddenly stopped running and yelled:
"Demon cultivator, you will definitely die today--"
Li An gritted his teeth and cast two more talismans, rushing towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't even look at him, and slapped him.
The talisman's fluctuations were extinguished by this palm, and Li An was directly blown away, smashing the flower pots on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, and he wanted to stand up, but in the end, his eyes went black and he fainted!
"Black-hearted talisman master, you harmed me back then. If I let you die quickly today, I will be sorry for what you did!"
The middle-aged man sneered!
"Haha, after waiting for many days, you are finally here!"
At this time, a voice has been heard.
The middle-aged man turned around and saw Jing Ao had brought people across the store and walked in.
He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the middle-aged man with a sneer on his face: "I didn't expect that the Soul-seeking Horse-faced Man's men actually had other foundation-building masters... Well, well, killing you will make a greater contribution this time!"
His eyes were full of pride, as if everything was already won!
"Sure enough, there was an ambush..."
The middle-aged man looked at Jing Ao, but there was no fear in his eyes, and said calmly: "But, the Xuanyang Sect's group of bastards only sent a young turtle like you? Haha... Seeing that you are so arrogant, I must chop you into pieces, make you into sauce, and feed you to the dogs!"
"What a big tone!"
Jing Ao said coldly: "Go!"
Immediately, the four disciples at the peak of Qi training around him surrounded him from four directions.
The four masters at the peak of Qi training all held second-level magic weapons in their hands.
At the same time, Jing Ao even offered a spear in his hand!
Second-level magic weapon!
"Go to hell--"
Golden flames burst out from Jing Ao's spear, and he rushed towards the middle-aged man.
But the middle-aged man's eyes were so contemptuous, and he smiled and said, "Just you?"
He waved his hand, and the surging black demonic energy was released.
"No..."
The four Qi training masters holding second-level magic weapons all changed their faces at this moment. They felt like there was a flame bursting in their bodies, and their spiritual power was instantly disordered. They all stopped suddenly and spit out blood.
The blood was filled with azure toxins.
"You actually poisoned it?!"
Jing Ao's heart was shocked, and he also felt the pain of burning in his body. His hands were shaking and cramped, and he couldn't even hold the spear.
"Do you really think that broken spirit bell can escape my eyes?"
The middle-aged man sneered. When Li An touched the teacup on the counter, he already knew there was an ambush.
So, from that time on, he had already used the secret poison of the Yin-Yang Demon Cult. The poison he used was colorless and tasteless, and it would only take effect after inhaling the Yin-Yang Demonic Qi, so Jing Ao and others were completely unaware.
The hunter... became the prey instead!
"Xuan Yang Sect bastards, all of you, die!"
The middle-aged man grabbed with his big hand, and in a blink of an eye, he had flashed past the four disciples at the peak of Qi training. His claws were like knives, and he directly grabbed the throats of the four disciples and strangled them on the spot!
He even appeared in front of Jing Ao!
He grabbed Jing Ao's heart!
"Big Brother, save me--"
Jing Ao shouted in horror, and a magic weapon on his body lit up, barely blocking the middle-aged man's attack, but the whole person still flew out and fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.
"Stop--"
From outside, there was an icy voice, and another middle-aged man from Xuan Yang Sect had stepped in.
"Brother, be careful, it's poisonous... don't breathe!"
Jing Ao reminded with difficulty. The middle-aged man nodded. He had been paying attention to the battlefield since Jing Ao and others started to fight, so he naturally knew what happened.
"As expected of the devil, you are full of tricks, but today, you will definitely die--"
He said coldly: "The one who killed you is the chief disciple of Xuanyang Sect-Han Zhong!"
Han Zhong!
This name is well-known in Xuanyang Sect. He is a master in the middle stage of foundation building and is only one step away from becoming an elder!
He...actually sits here!
The middle-aged man also suddenly laughed, "Finally, it's a bit interesting. Okay, you are open and aboveboard, and I am not interested in hiding it. The one who killed you...Soul-seeking Horse-faced!"
He had a ferocious face, and there was already a white bone banner in his hand!
Seeing the white bone banner, Han Zhong's face changed drastically! Soul-seeking Horse-faced? !
