The Ning Family members who were closer were uncontrollably thrown backward by this massive impact.
After the crowd finally managed to stabilize themselves, they saw that Ning Shaohong's face was extremely pale.
Although Talisman Treasures were powerful, they consumed a considerable amount of magic power and divine sense.
Even a Ninth Level of Qi Condensation cultivator like Ning Shaohong found it difficult to sustain.
Especially since the opponent was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator wielding a Spirit Artifact.
If it weren't for the Spirit Artifact's power having been significantly depleted by numerous defensive measures.
Just this one impact would have severely injured Ning Shaohong, leaving her unable to fight.
At this moment, the guard leader Ning Yuanchong also produced a special Talisman.
It bore the pattern of a black long whip.
Judging by its oppressive spiritual pressure, it was clearly another Talisman Treasure.
Ning Yuanchong desperately channeled his magic power, wanting to activate this Talisman Treasure as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, another Eighth Level Qi Refining Cultivator took over the Kaiyuan Axe Talisman Treasure from Ning Shaohong.
He also desperately activated it, regardless of the cost.
At this point, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator wearing the black ghost face mask swayed slightly.
His aura also became unstable for a moment.
It was as if a Qi Condensation cultivator was forcing the activation of a Top-grade Magic Artifact or a Talisman Treasure too much.
Even for him, activating this Spirit Artifact was a bit of a strain.
Even though it was just the most common Low-grade Spirit Artifact.
Furthermore, he hadn't possessed this treasure for long and wasn't very adept at using it.
He had already unleashed two full-power attacks, and with his remaining magic power, he could only manage two more.
However, a cold smile appeared on his lips; even one more strike would be enough.
He took a deep breath, and his internal magic power surged towards the Spirit Artifact.
On the black long staff, the phantom of the black giant snake reappeared, its aura even more ferocious.
It was clearly brewing its strongest attack, intending to obliterate the Ning Family members directly.
Ning Shaohong's expression was blank as she suddenly said, "Xiuying! Take Little Fa and go first!"
Ning Xiuying, her face pale, was stunned and hesitated slightly.
Ning Fa's brow furrowed, and he then said resolutely, "I'm not leaving!"
With that, he madly propelled his internal magic power, his six Thunder Sources spinning wildly.
His hands flashed with intense silver light.
Dozens of silver lightning balls, each the size of a fist, shot out from his hands.
In a short period, dozens of silver lightning balls appeared, like dancing silver snakes, with electricity crackling everywhere, forming a giant silver wall in front of everyone.
Ning Shaohong initially showed a hint of surprise.
She looked at Ning Fa, a trace of relief in her beautiful eyes, and no longer urged him to leave.
At this moment, a terrifying hiss echoed.
The black giant snake, like a sky-obscuring behemoth, descended with the force of Mount Tai, charging ferociously towards the Ning Family members.
At this time, the Ning Family's two Talisman Treasures had only been half-activated, clearly running out of time.
In this moment of crisis.
A flash of blue light appeared in the air, and a blue orb about a foot in size suddenly materialized.
A sound of intense waves followed.
Countless deep blue streams of water flowed from this blue orb.
In an instant, they transformed into a deep blue river, blocking the ferocious black giant snake.
The black giant snake seemed to be trapped in a swamp, its ferocity gone.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator wearing the ghost face mask's eyes changed drastically.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his hand seals shifted.
Immediately, the black giant snake opened its massive mouth, and a ball of black light, as if having substance, was spewed out.
This black light cluster suddenly bloomed, transforming into countless black streams of light, emitting an incredibly scorching and corrosive aura.
"Ssss! Ssss! Ssss!"
The surrounding deep blue river water instantly evaporated.
Just then, the re-emerging blue orb suddenly exploded.
Centered on it, within a radius of several yards, countless ice-blue crystal lights flashed.
The extreme power of ice-cold emanated from it.
Each point of ice-blue crystal light transformed into ice-blue flowers, connecting with each other.
In an instant, a giant blue ice mass appeared in the air.
And the black long staff was frozen within it.
This was not the end; a blue light suddenly bloomed in front of the cultivator wearing the ghost face mask.
In his horrified gaze, it enveloped him in an instant, also turning him into a blue ice sculpture.
The man's face was flushed, and his body faintly glowed with blood, clearly about to use a life-risking secret technique.
Just then, a water-blue blade appeared from the void.
It circled the blue ice sculpture once.
The ice sculpture shattered, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator with the ghost face mask had become a decapitated corpse.
The black iron mask on his head fell off, his eyes still holding expressions of horror and disbelief.
As if he couldn't believe he had died just like that.
Speaking of which, he was also unlucky.
To end the fight quickly, he had forcefully activated the spirit artifact he had just obtained.
After unleashing three strikes, his internal magical power and spiritual sense were severely depleted.
That's why he was so easily killed.
If he had been at his peak, with that low-grade spirit artifact, he could have contended with even a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But it was too late for regrets now.
However, the man was extremely unwilling, because he hadn't seen the face of his killer before dying.
The shattered blue ice sculptures around him instantly turned into a blue river.
It swept up the man's corpse and the black long staff that had lost control, and then rapidly flew away.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The Ning Family members looked at each other.
All of them had expressions of lingering fear after escaping death.
However, they did not relax, because the person who killed the cultivator with the ghost face mask had not yet appeared.
They didn't know if they were friend or foe.
Judging by the person's methods, they were undoubtedly a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If this person also had ill intentions towards them, they would also be doomed.
Ning Shaohong said in a deep voice, "We don't know which senior saved us, we are extremely grateful, please show yourself. Our Ning Family will surely offer a generous reward."
Her voice echoed, but no one appeared.
In fact, from the way the blue river flew away, they could roughly guess that the person who had acted in secret had already departed.
Ning Shaohong, not feeling reassured, deliberately said that.
Seeing no response, Ning Shaohong's eyes flickered, and she said in a low voice, "Let's go quickly!"
With that, she beckoned with one hand.
A yellow strange bird with huge wings appeared in the air.
This was another high-grade flying magic tool.
Everyone immediately boarded this yellow strange bird magic tool and sped eastward.
They had only flown about a hundred miles.
A black flying shuttle appeared ahead, flying rapidly towards them.
Faintly visible on the side of the flying shuttle was a huge blood-colored flood dragon pattern.
"Blood Wind Hall! We're safe!"
The guard leader, Ning Yuanchong, shouted in surprise.
The tense bodies of everyone immediately relaxed.
With the strength of the Blood Wind Hall, a single Blood Wind Hall squad could barely resist an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator for a period of time.
This was because not only were the members of each Blood Wind Hall squad extremely powerful, but they were also standardly equipped with two Talisman Treasures and various life-saving items.
However, there was a trace of surprise in Ning Yuanchong's eyes; he thought it was strange that the Blood Wind Hall members had arrived so quickly.
Because this area was still some distance from the Ning Family's territory.
He guessed that it might have been a Blood Wind Hall squad coincidentally carrying out a mission nearby.
Within a few breaths, the two sides met.
