Chapter 263: Out Of Talismans?
Jiang Zhen quickly dodged, but a ghost claw suddenly appeared behind her, heavily slapping toward her back.
Jiang Zhen’s fingers moved slightly, and Jiang Lixuan, who was standing stiffly, appeared behind her in the blink of an eye, holding her as they were both slapped flying by the ghost claw.
The two rolled awkwardly in the field once. Jiang Lixuan, who bore most of the power, spat out a mouthful of blood with a wail, his body collapsing limp on the ground, unknown if alive or dead.
Jiang Zhen forcefully pushed away Jiang Lixuan who was pressing on her, looking at Bai Wenyin with shock and anger: “How dare you hurt me! I am your master!”
Bai Wenyin didn’t speak, her face gloomy and angry as she continued attacking Jiang Zhen: “Don’t even think about it. I won’t let you hurt the child I gave birth to after a thousand hardships!”
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen didn’t know why Bai Wenyin had suddenly turned against Jiang Zhen, but they knew now was a good chance to strike.
The two didn’t hesitate, taking out their respective magic tools, and attacked Jiang Zhen together with Bai Wenyin.
Nan Yuanman also quickly pulled out Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Cao and threw them out, letting them go help.
Then, she summoned Zhou Jingchuan from the small coffin. As soon as Zhou Jingchuan came out, he sensed the strong yin energy around him and couldn’t help stretching comfortably: “Master, have you come to a tomb? The yin energy here is so strong…!!!”
He turned around and saw the bit of blood at the corner of Nan Yuanman’s mouth, his face changing drastically: “Master, what’s wrong? Are you injured? Who hurt you!”
Nan Yuanman sat cross-legged in the field, flipping through the Compendium of Formations with her hands, and said: “Don’t worry about who hurt me first. Your most important task now is to protect me. Don’t let those people get close.”
Zhou Jingchuan nodded seriously: “Don’t worry, even if I die, I won’t let anyone else get close to Master!”
Jiang Zhen, who had been extremely confident, never imagined that a spirit she had already refined would break free from her control, catching her off guard for a moment.
Not to mention that the people besieging her were all quite strong. Even if she dodged and countered with all her might, she still sustained quite a few injuries.
Jiang Zhen’s face was gloomy, furious in her heart. Her ten fingers moved lightly, and Jiang Hengzhi and Jiang Chuyun, hidden nearby, rushed out, under her control to confront Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen.
Rushing out together with Jiang Hengzhi and Jiang Chuyun were other villagers from Batang Village!
Zhong Xueliu even saw Aunt Zheng holding a shovel among them!
Nan Yichen instinctively punched toward Jiang Chuyun’s face. Zhong Xueliu was shocked and hurriedly blocked his attack with the peach wood sword, gesturing urgently: ‘They are living people! Can’t kill!’
Nan Yichen also sensed the living person aura on Jiang Chuyun and Jiang Hengzhi. Seeing their expressionless, vacant looks, he couldn’t help gritting his teeth and glaring angrily at Jiang Zhen.
People from R Country are too despicable!
To actually control ordinary people to fight for them!
Nan Yichen and Zhong Xueliu couldn’t really kill Jiang Hengzhi, Jiang Chuyun, and the villagers from Batang Village, but those under control acted like robots without feeling pain.
Suddenly, they were fighting with hands tied, extremely frustrated. Nan Yichen even got a few injuries.
Bai Wenyin noticed their predicament, her eyes darkening slightly. She joined with Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Cao, striking even more ruthlessly.
Jiang Zhen also clearly felt the great restraint of the human body on her. When Bai Wenyin slapped her flying again, she directly detached from ‘Jiang Xinxin’s’ body.
A red ghostly figure with princess cut hair, wearing a wide and gorgeous kimono, face deathly pale but lips blood-red like it had eaten children, appeared in the sky above the field.
The surrounding temperature dropped instantly, a thin layer of white frost covered the grass blades, the yin energy grew even stronger, and the rustling sounds from underground grew louder.
Nan Yichen keenly sensed fluctuations in the formation and anxiously croaked loudly.
The formation was almost complete! Hadn’t Nan Yuanman found a way to break it yet?!
If not found soon, the moment the formation completed, they would all die!
Jiang Zhen’s pitch-black pupils were full of malice. She raised her hand and pressed down, thin red silk threads surging from her fingertips, rushing straight toward Bai Wenyin and Nan Yuanman: “All of you, go die!”
Bai Wenyin transformed sharp ghost claws, slashing apart the red silk threads rushing at her, then sped toward Nan Yuanman to protect her.
Zhou Jingchuan’s pupils shrank when he saw the red silk threads: “These weird threads again! Master, be careful!”
He yelled loudly and blocked in front of Nan Yuanman who was seriously reading the book, forcefully slashing the silk threads.
Nan Yuanman was a bit panicked inside, but her hand flipping the book was steady.
Finally, just as Zhou Jingchuan was nearly wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis by the red silk threads, a look of joy appeared on Nan Yuanman’s steamed bun face: “I found it!”
She quickly memorized the pattern to break the formation, stuffing the book into her small shoulder bag with one hand and drawing the copper coin sword with the other to slash the incoming red silk threads.
Then, without looking back, she ran toward the pattern made of red spider silk on the ground, pulling out a heavenly lightning talisman and throwing it forcefully onto the pattern.
“Boom——!”
The heavenly lightning talisman collided with the spider silk pattern and exploded fiercely. A powerful shockwave rushed out, sending the villagers under Jiang Zhen’s control, who were stumbling toward Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen, flying and smashing into the field in a heap.
Zhong Xueliu’s face lit up with joy. She abruptly turned to look toward Nan Yuanman. Had Perfection found a way to break the formation?
Nan Yuanman seemed to guess what she was thinking and shouted loudly while dodging the red silk threads: “The way to break the formation is simple! Just destroy all these patterns!”
The book recorded that onmyoji formations to summon shikigami were all very simple. They exploited the opponent’s suspicious nature, openly placing the formation eyes in the most obvious spots.
The opponent would think such a powerful move to summon shikigami couldn’t possibly be exposed so blatantly and must be hidden in a more secretive place.
Thus, they would overlook the most obvious formation eyes, searching for nonexistent hidden ones and missing the chance to break the formation.
But these formation eyes had real and fake ones. Only by finding the true formation eyes within the time limit could the formation be broken.
For Nan Yuanman, real or fake didn’t matter—blow them all up and be done!
Jiang Zhen never expected Nan Yuanman to not play by the rules. Anxious and angry, her red silk threads turned into a giant hand that forcefully slapped Bai Wenyin away: “Get lost! Don’t get in the way!”
Bai Wenyin was slapped flying. Xiao Cao quickly flew over to support her back, protecting her as she landed from midair.
Jiang Zhen was already flying toward Nan Yuanman, her red silk threads enveloping the area around her like a sky full of nets, determined to strangle her!
Bai Wenyin cried out in alarm: “Perfection!!”
Nan Yuanman’s small face was tense, her hands moving nonstop, talismans constantly smashing toward the red silk threads and spider silk patterns.
“Boom boom boom!!”
Jiang Zhen’s expression was annoyed: “I want to see how long your talismans can protect you!”
Her face gloomy, the red silk threads on her body increased even more, nearly enclosing this entire patch of sky.
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen wanted to go help, but countless red spiders crawled out from the ground, blocking their path.
Xiao Cao and Zhuang Zhuang were also entangled by red silk threads and spiders. Zhou Jingchuan was directly hung up by the red silk threads.
The scales of victory tilted toward Jiang Zhen once again.
Jiang Zhen looked at Nan Yuanman, who was almost completely suppressed by her, a smug look on her face.
That’s right, like a dog, beaten viciously by her, barely clinging to life under her hands.
At that moment, Nan Yuanman’s action of throwing talismans paused slightly, and her steamed bun face changed instantly.
A sinister smile hooked on Jiang Zhen’s face: “Out of talismans, huh? Ha!”
“Nan Yuanman, go die!”
