Chapter 382: Battle of the Cornered Beast_2
Hearing this, Yang Chen and He Xin, whose ploy Chen Jianbin saw through, gave an awkward smile. They hadn't expected Chen Jianbin to be so direct, not only clearly recognizing their trump cards but also openly disclosing them.
But on second thought, it wasn't surprising.
After all, the three parties had encountered each other quite a few times in the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm and had a certain understanding of each other's way of doing things.
Being team leaders of their respective groups, entering this dangerous secret realm, it was natural for the sects to bestow some treasures upon them to cope with unforeseen dangers.
In fact, that was precisely the case. Both Yang Chen and He Xin had a number of Fake Golden Core Talismans and a Third Order Defense Talisman in their possession.
And as the team leader of the Golden Sword Sect disciples, Chen Jianbin surely had his share of valuable treasures, at least no fewer than theirs.
Knowing this, Yang Chen and the others naturally would not underestimate any party.
"Hiss..."
While the three parties were shifting blame and dragging their feet, the Fire Scale Python launched another assault.
This time, the Fire Scale Python once again targeted the disciple from Myriad Medicine Valley who had just been severely injured, seemingly perceiving this team as an easy target.
Seeing this, Yang Chen, infuriated and alarmed, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Everyone follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chen swiftly moved as if borne by the wind, taking the lead towards the direction of the Golden Sword Sect disciples.
The Myriad Medicine Valley disciples followed him closely, stopping only when they reached the side of the Golden Sword Sect disciples.
Seeing the move by the Myriad Medicine Valley disciples, the cultivators from Zhenyang Sect also did the same, positioning themselves at the two sides of the Golden Sword Sect cultivator group, one on the left and the other on the right.
Yang Chen's actions were clearly indicative of his mistrust in Chen Jianbin, fearing that his own camp taking the initiative could lead to excessive consumption of their strength, putting Myriad Medicine Valley at a disadvantage.
He Xin and the others were quick to react, upon noticing Yang Chen's behavior, they followed suit.
Such behavior was clearly an indication of their distrust towards the Golden Sword Sect disciples, determined to drag everyone into the fray.
Seeing their actions, Chen Jianbin, who still had some scheming in mind, looked displeased.
However, since he had already agreed to joint action and mutual support earlier, the somewhat abrupt actions of Yang Chen and the others, although improper, were not exactly blameworthy.
At this moment, the Fire Scale Python, having lost its target, immediately turned direction and shot towards the large group.
Seeing a large number of people ready for battle, it didn't hesitate at all and launched an attack without pause.
At this time, the Fire Scale Python seemed not to understand how many tricks these humans had up their sleeves, nor did it comprehend their grudges and grievances.
As a Third Grade Medium Stage monster, a being that trod mightily throughout the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, it had been severely wounded by a group of weak cultivators using formations. This was infuriating to it, and it sought to exterminate all these menacing Human Cultivators.
With this objective in mind, the Fire Scale Python furiously initiated its attack, its tail thick as a water tank sweeping across.
A series of crackling explosion sounds erupted, the powerful force shattering the air itself.
Facing the ferocious assault of the Fire Scale Python, Yang Chen and others showed signs of panic, as their magic artifacts flashed with light, launching an attack in hurried defense.
The cultivators behind them also struck in unison, a deluge of talisman paper and sword qi materializing and bombing the Fire Scale Python relentlessly.
"Bang, bang, bang..." A series of explosions continued to sound.
The cultivators' attacks tore through the void, clashing hard against the Fire Scale Python with its tough hide, the sparks from their powerful impacts soaring into the sky.
For a moment, the ground itself shook, and the heavens were cloaked in a multitude of dazzling colors.
After one strike, the cultivators from the three sides were thrown into disarray by the powerful surges.
Despite being gravely injured, the Fire Scale Python's strength was indeed formidable, its defensive power astonishing. Ordinary attacks could hardly pose a lethal threat to it.
Seeing the Fire Scale Python advancing once again, Yang Chen shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoists, use your trump cards, otherwise we'll never be able to kill it!"
"Alright... strike together!"
After Chen Jianbin and He Xin simultaneously responded, they each slapped their storage bags and pulled out two Fake Golden Core Talismans.
The two exchanged a glance, then applied a Law Decree, and the Fake Golden Core Talismans in their hands suddenly flashed with light.
Suddenly, several streaks of Sword Qi appeared in the sky.
Upon close inspection, the fluctuations of this Sword Qi were enormous, evidently much stronger than ordinary attacks.
After all, it was a Fake Golden Core Talisman, comparable to a strike from a Golden Core Cultivator, naturally not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could match.
As the two pulled out their Fake Golden Core Talismans, Yang Chen wouldn't fall behind either. He likewise sent out two talismans and immediately activated them.
In an instant, six powerful streaks of Sword Qi coalesced in the sky and hovered steadily above everyone's heads.
The commotion they caused was significant, and naturally, the Fire Scale Python noticed it.
Seeing these streaks of Sword Qi, it finally felt a fatal threat. Although they were not as powerful as the ice orbs within the Sword Array, they were enough to inflict further injuries on it.
Yang Chen and the others would not waste time, knowing that once the precious Fake Golden Core Talismans were activated, there was no turning back.
Even though they were at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and the Sect had given them quite a few life-preserving trump cards, the consumables of the level of Fake Golden Core Talismans were still very limited.
They wouldn't use them unless it was absolutely necessary.
Now, in order to complete the mission assigned by their Sect, let alone a few Fake Golden Core Talismans, even stronger methods wouldn't be met with any hesitation.
Moreover, this was for the Jiuli Star Fruit, crucial for their advancement to the Golden Core Stage, so using up these talismans wouldn't cause them any heartache at all.
Understanding this, the three of them did not hesitate to activate them.
"Boom..."
The six Sword Qi streaks tore through the sky, turning into several bolts of lightning, and in a blink of an eye descended right above the Fire Scale Python's head.
The aura of the six Sword Qi was sharp, their powerful momentum earth-shattering, clearly intent on slaying the Fire Scale Python right there and then.
Confronted with this terrifying Sword Qi, the Fire Scale Python wouldn't foolishly clash with it head-on.
After all, it could ignore ordinary attacks from the cultivators, but these were precious Fake Golden Core Talismans, treasures that any Foundation Establishment Cultivator would consider prized possessions.
If it were only one such treasure, it might not be too wary.
But with six Fake Golden Core Talismans turning into an assault, if it were to take them all on, even a Third Grade Medium Stage Fire Scale Python could face the peril of perishing there and then.
Realizing this, the Fire Scale Python, with its injured body, moved nimbly.
However, the six Sword Qi came from different directions, and from any angle, it could not avoid the attacks.
The Fire Scale Python hesitated for a moment, then chose to charge towards a direction where only one Sword Qi was attacking.
"Bang..."
The Fire Scale Python selectively took on one Sword Qi, its tail with astounding defensive power moved swiftly, striking the approaching Sword Qi head-on.
After a burst of sparks, the Sword Qi from the Fake Golden Core Talisman dissipated, and the Fire Scale Python temporarily broke free from the encirclement of Sword Qi.
The timing and angles of the three's attack were very good, further exacerbating its injuries.
Gazing upon it, a deep wound appeared on the Fire Scale Python's tail, further impacting its strength.
However, it hadn't even caught its breath when it suddenly felt three more powerful forces rising to the heavens.
Seeing this commotion, the Fire Scale Python was both shocked and enraged, sensing a fatal crisis.
At that moment, it had no intention of seeking revenge; it just wanted to leave this place and save its life.
As for the Jiuli Star Fruit that could have helped it grow further, it was willing to forsake it, after all, precious as that fruit was, it couldn't compare to its life.
The Fire Scale Python, with its high spirit wisdom, made up its mind in an instant and hastily tried to flee.
But Yang Chen and the others, who had been preparing for a long time, each activated a Third Order Attack Talisman, seamlessly connecting to the Fake Golden Core Talisman attack that had just held the Fire Scale Python back.
After such tremendous effort and vast expenditure of precious treasures, how could they allow it to slip away?
The three, with a clear target and without any reservations, did not hesitate to activate the Third Order Talismans.
In an instant, three attacks tore through the void, their speed reaching extreme levels, striking towards the Fire Scale Python from three different angles.
