Chapter 299: Saint's Talisman Paper
"Despicable!"
A member of the Spirit Clan roared in anger.
Their expressions were incomparably ugly. How many years had it been since they had encountered such insidious methods? In the cultivation world, most people fought head-on, openly and honorably. Who would have thought that this young man, who seemed so unassuming, would resort to such tactics the moment he made his move?
Just now, because everyone in the Spirit Clan had been completely unprepared, those who were caught off guard numbered in the hundreds. Every one of them had turned purple in the face, their skin rotting away as they let out agonized screams that shook the entire ancestral grounds of the Spirit Clan. Even experts at the Divine Palace Realm were unable to avoid it.
"Kill!"
Xiao Fan's expression was icy. He gave a low shout, and beneath his feet a vast expanse of azure-green ocean surged forth, sweeping across more than a hundred li.
Within it, a divine beast phantom as large as a small mountain lay concealed, radiating an aura that suppressed heaven and earth.
At the same time, behind him, a towering divine spirit with a human face, tiger's body, and nine tails spread across its back manifested in midair. The instant it appeared, it scattered the clouds across the sky.
These two divine beast phantoms were extraordinarily solid, wrapped in the power of time itself, as if two living divine beasts had descended from the distant ancient past into the present age.
Boom!
The two divine beasts raised their heads and roared, then charged straight toward the Spirit Clan.
The thunderous sounds were endless. Already afflicted by deadly poison, the Spirit Clan members had little strength left to resist. Facing the two divine beast phantoms, they were effortlessly trampled into clouds of blood mist.
In an instant, unceasing screams filled the Spirit Clan's ancestral grounds.
"Black Tortoise Divine Technique, Lu Wu Divine Technique—how is this possible? Where did this little bastard get two such divine arts?!"
Watching the two divine beasts wreak havoc within the Spirit Clan, everyone's hearts trembled and their souls quaked. It was simply too terrifying. To possess the innate divine abilities of two divine beasts at once—such power was enough to destroy heaven and earth.
In the span of a single breath, countless lives were taken.
"This child must not be allowed to live!" A Spirit Clan expert murmured in a low voice.
The potential Xiao Fan displayed was far too frightening. And this was with his Immortal Marrow already extracted. If his Immortal Body were still intact, who knew how powerful Xiao Fan would become? He might even rival Xiao Chen!
One had to know that Xiao Chen was hailed as a once-in-hundreds-of-thousands-of-years genius. Even past individuals who eventually became emperors were not as dazzling as Xiao Chen had been at the same age.
"Elders, act together—eradicate him completely!" Someone shouted coldly.
To have an enemy strike their gates today had already stripped the Spirit Clan of all face. Now, to have so many powerful experts slaughtered so easily by a mere child was utterly intolerable. If word of this spread, the Spirit Clan's authority would be completely shattered.
What terrified them even more was that the Spirit Clan's Grand Elder had already grown dissatisfied with them. Perhaps at this very moment, the Grand Elder was watching everything unfold from somewhere unseen.
If the Grand Elder were to see that so many Divine Palace Realm experts could not even handle a single child, and that they had to rely on a Sacred Weapon, their standing in his eyes would plummet to the lowest point.
Weng!
Golden light blazed forth, dazzling to the extreme. Above the Spirit Clan, a golden treasure bottle appeared, as though it had been forged from the very principles of heaven and earth, its entire body flowing with Daoist essence.
From the mouth of the bottle erupted tens of thousands of rays. Each ray transformed into a divine sword that cleaved through the void, releasing piercing shrieks.
Upon seeing this treasure bottle, the Spirit Clan members were overjoyed.
"It's the Purifying Void Bottle!"
"I never expected even the Purifying Void Bottle to be brought out. This is a half-Sacred Weapon, only a single step away from becoming a true Sacred Weapon. For that little bastard to die beneath it, his life will not have been lived in vain."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sword light poured down like rain, as if countless stars were exploding. All the surrounding palaces were reduced to dust, and every member of the Spirit Clan rapidly retreated.
"He's definitely dead this time!"
Someone from the Spirit Clan spoke with certainty.
But before the words had even finished leaving his mouth—In full view of everyone, Xiao Fan took out a talisman.
It was a talisman paper crimson like fresh blood. Scarlet radiance shimmered across its surface, and a strand of saintly might permeated it. Even before it was activated, it already emanated a heart-palpitating power.
"A Saint's talisman paper!"
Someone screamed in shock, utterly horrified.
A Saint's talisman paper was not something just anyone could possess. Within it was sealed a single strike from a Saint. Even for a true Saint, refining such a talisman required immense effort and cost.
Under normal circumstances, treasures like this were only given to Holy Sons or Maiden for self-protection.
Yet today, one had appeared in Xiao Fan's hands—something that left many people completely baffled.
After all, Xiao Fan was utterly alone.
There was no Saint standing behind him. So how could he possibly produce a Saint's talisman paper?
Boom!
Xiao Fan activated the talisman. Instantly, divine light surged heavenward and rolled forward like a breached celestial river, flooding the boundless void. Layer upon layer of terrifying waves rose, as if a true Saint had descended upon the Spirit Clan's ancestral grounds.
"ROAR—!"
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens.
From within the Saint's talisman burst forth a golden divine lion hundreds of zhang tall. Its fur looked as though it had been cast from pure gold, its entire body blazing with divine radiance that no one dared to stare at directly.
"A spirit race Saint!"
Seeing the golden lion, the Spirit Clan members were even more shocked.
If Xiao Fan merely had a Saint backing him, that would already be bad enough—but this was a spirit race Saint, which changed everything. Coupled with Xiao Fan's use of the Lu Wu Divine Technique and the Black Tortoise Divine Technique, it was hard not to suspect that, besides Li Xun, Xiao Fan also had a spirit race faction silently supporting him from the shadows.
"ROAR!"
The golden lion roared once more, its power erupting in full. It shattered the void beneath its feet, transforming into a golden divine mountain as it charged toward the half-Sacred Weapon in the sky.
The once-formidable half-Sacred Weapon now seemed utterly insignificant before the projection of a true Saint.
Clang! Clang!
Streams of sword light fell upon the golden lion, but they were no more effective than scratching an itch. They had absolutely no impact. In contrast, the golden lion was incomparably fierce.
It opened its blood-red maw and spewed endless divine radiance as it lunged forward, biting down toward the Purifying Void Bottle.
If this bite were to land, no one in the Spirit Clan doubted that the entire Purifying Void Bottle would be crushed into powder.
After all, a half-Sacred Weapon was still only a half Sacred Weapon. In the end, it was not a true Sacred Weapon.
Before the projection of a Saint, it had no ability to resist whatsoever.
