Zhang Ling observed the battlefield while controlling the copper ring magic weapon to attack.
Seeing this scene, he was slightly surprised. After carefully examining the iron ruler in the old Taoist's hand, he noticed that it was different from ordinary magic weapons.
Then he thought of a special type of magic weapon called a talisman implement. Like the sword cultivator's magic sword, this talisman implement is a specially customized magic weapon, often best suited for cultivators who practice corresponding techniques.
Could it be that the old Taoist is a talisman cultivator who specializes in the art of talismans? This kind of specific magic weapon is much more powerful than ordinary magic weapons.
Then the old man waved his hand, and dozens of different colored spirit talismans transformed into numerous attacks, confirming Zhang Ling's guess.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling also had a thought. He slowed down the beast claw magic weapon he originally intended to summon, only controlling the copper ring to shatter the attacks facing him.
Naturally, Zhang Ling wasn't the only one who noticed the old Taoist's methods; the man and woman also wore solemn expressions.
The man and woman looked grave. They stood face to face, each with a small, dark jade bottle flying from their hands.
The two black bottles flew above their heads. The man and woman shouted simultaneously, their faces turning red before each spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
The two balls of blood essence shattered the black jade bottles, releasing two clouds of gray-green mist that enveloped the man and woman.
Zhang Ling recognized it at a glance. The black bottle the man sacrificed was a soul gathering bottle that temporarily imprisoned remnant souls and refined demon souls.
The gray-green mist seemed to be two gusts of yin wind. Within the gusts of yin wind, two illusory images of demon beasts emerged. One was a giant tiger demon soul with scarlet eyes, and the other was a long snake shadow.
Judging from the yin soul power of the two demon souls, they were both rank three or four demon beasts before their death, and their strength was not weak.
While Zhang Ling was guessing the purpose of the two releasing the demon souls,
the old Taoist in the other direction, who had been quite calm, turned grim. He quickly used all his strength to cast spells, urging the iron ruler and whisk in his hands to attack continuously.
However, the young man and woman were always surrounded by the four short spears, which constantly transformed into fire shadow spears and ice spears, protecting them.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling naturally knew that the man and woman were using some kind of technique. He no longer hesitated, and a faint yellow spirit talisman appeared in his hand from his sleeve.
He also fully activated the spirit talisman. The power of the Golden Moon Wheel Talisman Treasure in his hand had not been completely exhausted in the previous battle against Elder Chen, and it could be used once or twice more.
After a few breaths, just as Zhang Ling was about to activate the talisman treasure, the figures of the young man and woman, enveloped in two clouds of yin energy, appeared.
Awoo… Roar!
Two strange sounds came from the mouths of the man and woman, and then Zhang Ling saw the drastically changed man and woman.
After the yin energy dissipated, the two, who were originally human, had changed their appearance.
The middle-aged woman's body had grown taller, and her muscles were bulging. In addition, her upper body had grown yellow fluff and some dark black hair.
The strangest thing was that her face seemed to be swollen, although she still maintained a human appearance, her eyes had turned blood red, and she seemed to have lost consciousness.
At first glance, this person looked a bit like a half-human, half-tiger.
Zhang Ling only had time to glance at this person before her figure swayed, and she rushed towards the old Taoist at an extremely fast speed.
The middle-aged woman's figure also became slender, and a head of black hair fell to the ground. For a moment, her face could not be seen clearly. This person twisted a few times and also attacked the old man.
"Hiss. Could they be demon refiners?"
Seeing the changes in the two, Zhang Ling thought of the special cultivators known as demon refiners.
Although he had been in Liuyun Sea for decades, he had never actually seen a true demon refiner. It was rumored that demon refining techniques had a secret method that could use the power of demon souls to enhance the strength of the physical body.
Judging from the appearance of the two, it seemed that they had used this method, which was said to be quite strange with many restrictions and not a few hidden dangers.
Bang bang bang, muffled sounds rang out from the arena while Zhang Ling's mind was racing.
At this moment, the blue-robed old man waved the iron ruler in his hand, and more than ten golden runes condensed in front of him, forming a huge golden shield.
Just as the old Taoist finished casting the spell, a shadow flickered before his eyes, and the half-human, half-tiger young cultivator arrived. His hands flickered, and sharp claws grew out, slamming down without hesitation.
The old Taoist seemed a bit small in contrast to this person's figure.
However, the old Taoist was also a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator with extraordinary experience. While unfolding the golden spirit shield, he shook the whisk magic weapon, which flew to the top of his head. Then the white silk threads on it condensed into several thick ropes, like vines, binding the man in place.
But the man who had turned into a half-human, half-tiger was no longer an ordinary cultivator. His physical body had become exceptionally strong. He quickly waved his hands a few times, and many of the whisks that had trapped him were torn apart.
Seeing that this person was about to break free, the old Taoist also had a lot of combat experience. While trapping the enemy, his figure exaggeratedly retreated.
The iron ruler in his hand shot out golden runes, as if he was about to cast some kind of spell.
But the old Taoist had only retreated two zhang when he heard the sound of wind behind him. A circle of dark black things attacked.
For a time, it blocked the old Taoist's retreat.
At this moment, Zhang Ling would not just watch. But he did not attack. Instead, he patted the storage bag on his waist, and three small black gourds appeared in his hand and were put into his sleeve.
Then he pinched a few spirit talismans in his hand. In the other hand, the spiritual light flickered, and a small golden wheel appeared in the palm of his hand. The Golden Moon Wheel Talisman Treasure was also activated at this time.
After doing these things, Zhang Ling looked again at the battlefield between the old man and the two women.
Their fight, no matter who wins in the end, will be beneficial to Zhang Ling.
After all, only one person can remain on the arena in the end.
And the attack that blocked the old Taoist's retreat was actually the female cultivator's long hair. At this moment, the woman's hair had become longer than her body, more than three zhang long.
The woman's black hair rolled up and trapped the old Taoist in place. These black hairs kept rolling, and some of the black hairs condensed together, turning into black thorns that constantly attacked the trapped old Taoist.
Seeing that he was blocked, the old Taoist was also experienced in fighting. Without thinking, he pinched a spell, and the golden spirit patterns floating beside him exploded with a few pops, forming a cloud of air.
The air waves formed by the runes rippled in circles, and the air waves attacked like a substantial attack, pushing the surrounding black hair back.
For a time, the old Taoist was not injured.
