The twelve-foot-tall Yellow Turban Warrior was merely a phantom.
It was formed by condensing Gold Qi.
This phantom held a massive golden-yellow axe and chopped it down towards the woman.
Of course, this axe was also condensed from a phantom.
Bang… Bang… Bang…
The Yellow Turban Warrior was foolish, knowing only one move: continuously swinging its axe to chop.
However, even with only this one move, the woman opposite him had almost no power to parry.
On the other side, He Pingsheng could focus entirely on dealing with the man's attacks.
Eighth spear!
Ninth spear!
A yellowish-brown Earth-attribute shield condensed around He Pingsheng's body. This shield was supported by his spiritual power, and each time it was attacked, its light would dim slightly.
But it didn't matter.
As long as he continued to output Earth-attribute spiritual power, the shield would brighten again.
This was the difference between Spell defense and Talisman defense.
Talisman defense could not be replenished at any time; as long as the opponent had enough attacks, the Talisman shield would eventually be broken.
But a Spell shield was different.
As long as your internal magical power was not exhausted, the shield would not break.
Of course, if the enemy's attack power was too great and it was broken in one hit, that would be another matter.
“Damn it…” The man landed from the Void Realm, his face pale.
That move just now was the Zhuang family's secret Divine Ability: The Zhuang Family's Thirteen Spears.
Unfortunately, this man had not yet cultivated it to the Major Achievement Realm, so he could only unleash nine spears at a time, not thirteen.
Moreover, that Divine Ability just now had almost depleted eighty percent of the spiritual power within his body.
“Junior Sister…” The man shouted, “This golden figure is controlled by his Divine Thought. Find an opportunity to retreat. As long as you withdraw from the range of his Divine Thought, you will be safe!”
It must be said, the man was right.
As long as she moved out of He Pingsheng's Divine Thought range, she could escape the golden figure's attack.
The woman waved her hand, and another powerful sword light flew out, using offense as defense.
Then she seized the opportunity to retreat.
She thought that as long as she retreated twenty zhang from He Pingsheng's body, it would be fine.
But she never expected that even beyond twenty zhang, He Pingsheng could still control the Yellow Turban Warrior with his Divine Thought to continue attacking.
“Junior Sister… Quickly use your trump card…
“Strive for a one-hit kill!”
The man shouted again.
The woman's face twisted in bitterness, “Where do I still have any trump cards?”
However, this sentence successfully caught He Pingsheng's attention.
He Pingsheng had no choice but to shift most of his energy to the woman.
Just then, the man slipped away, dashing into the distance with a whoosh.
He ran…
He Pingsheng was stunned.
He just ran?
“Senior Brother… Don't leave me!” The woman was about to cry.
Seeing the man run further and further away, He Pingsheng had no choice but to extend his Divine Thought into his Storage Pouch and take out an Ice Arrow Talisman.
“Open…”
With a soft shout.
The Ice Arrow Talisman instantly transformed into an ice arrow about a foot long, then shot through the Void Realm with a whoosh, chasing after the fleeing man.
The man had pulled away, intending to activate the paper crane to leave, but before the paper crane could be successfully activated, he was directly pierced through the body by that ice arrow.
The foot-long white ice arrow penetrated his body and then stuck in him.
The arrowhead protruded from his chest, and the fletching remained on his back.
Bang…
After piercing the man's body, the ice arrow suddenly exploded.
The man, deceased!
From beginning to end, He Pingsheng did not know the man's name.
Originally, He Pingsheng could have chosen to use the Ice Arrow Talisman to deal with these two people from the start.
But he didn't.
After the Stubborn Stone Talisman withstood the attacks of the two, He Pingsheng's mindset changed. He didn't want to quickly resolve the situation with the two but rather to use them to test his current combat power.
The result was quite satisfying.
He Pingsheng turned his head and, with a push of his foot, swept towards this female Disciple of the Zhuang family.
“This Junior Brother… I offended you just now!
“This is all a misunderstanding!
“Junior Brother, you are right. The treasures in this Secret Realm, whoever gets them, they should belong to them. I was also just listening to my Senior Brother's words and was simply misled!
“Junior Brother, spare my life today, and I can do anything for you!”
The woman struggled to hold on while begging He Pingsheng for mercy.
As she spoke, she even threw a flirtatious glance towards He Pingsheng.
“Junior Brother… I am a direct female Disciple of the Zhuang family, and my father is the Zhuang family's Third Elder!
“My mother comes from the Ice Peak Immortal Sect!
“Although I, your little sister, do not have your noble background, I am certainly not a lowly person!
“As long as Senior Brother lets me go, your little sister will surely serve you well!
“After your little sister serves you, if Senior Brother is not satisfied, it won't be too late to kill me then!”
The woman's address for He Pingsheng slowly changed.
Before, it was 'Junior Brother,' now it became 'Senior Brother.'
He Pingsheng ignored her, just watching from the side.
The Yellow Turban Warrior didn't require any manipulation from him; he only needed to continuously output the Gold Qi within his body.
The woman was already struggling to hold on.
“Senior Brother…” The woman said again, “How about this… I know there's a treasure spot in this Secret Realm, where there's one of the main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pill, the zhu yu fruit. Please stop and listen to me!
“If Senior Brother thinks what I say makes no sense, it won't be too late to kill me then!
“Anyway, with your methods, I wouldn't be able to escape even if I tried!”
This time, He Pingsheng was moved.
He waved his hand, retracting the Yellow Turban Warrior.
When he said retracted, it actually meant he simply drew out the Gold Qi from within the Yellow Turban Warrior.
“Hoo…” The Zhuang family's female Disciple let out a sigh of relief. Sweating profusely, she looked at He Pingsheng and asked, “May I ask Senior Brother's name?”
He Pingsheng said indifferently, “Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You have three breaths to speak…”
“Okay!”
The woman pulled out a Jade Slip and said, “Senior Brother, I have here all the locations of treasures in the Secret Realm. You'll know once you take a look!
“If you're not satisfied, you can kill me anytime!”
She threw a green Jade Slip through the air.
He Pingsheng carefully caught it, examined it thoroughly, and only after finding nothing amiss did he place the Jade Slip against his forehead.
And just then, several faint sounds of breaking air suddenly came from a distance.
Puff, puff, puff…
Immediately after, He Pingsheng felt a chill on his leg, abdomen, and right shoulder.
He could feel that three needles, as fine as ox hair, had already pierced into his flesh.
“Damn it…” He Pingsheng's face was filled with regret.
He was careless after all.
He shouldn't have believed that woman's nonsense.
The woman's body suddenly leaped up.
She didn't attack He Pingsheng; instead, she jumped backward, creating some distance from He Pingsheng and hiding her body behind a large tree.
This way, even if he threw the Ice Arrow Talisman, it wouldn't be able to harm her.
A numb sensation spread throughout He Pingsheng's body from the locations of the three golden needles.
It was poisoned!
