CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 209: TALISMAN COMBAT

Talisman Combat

Now what?

Crossing the boundary is no problem.

Spending money is even less of a problem.

Under their gaze.

Those spirit talismans didn’t transform into various powerful attacking spells.

Instead, they adhered to the protective treasure shield of the Golden Core cultivator.

Hence, the shield gradually shrank, its power weakening, seemingly rendered useless.

Afterward, talismans stuck to the Golden Core cultivator’s body too.

He felt something was wrong.

His expression turned frightened; his strength rapidly declined.

Unfortunately, it was too late because his whole body was covered in talismans, Golden Core early stage, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, late stage of Foundation Establishment, early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Qi Cultivation...!

The body directly fell downward.

If not for Small Knife saying a word, someone went by sword control to catch him, he might have fallen to his death.

"Spiritual Qi is directly depleted?" The Golden Core middle stage cultivator, covered in talismans, was still shocked by his spiritual qi depletion, thinking it’s impossible, not realizing his strength was rapidly declining.

The talismans were already stuck onto the flying ship.

The luminous glow of the flying ship’s array shield rapidly dimmed.

Next, the flying ship also began to shrink.

The cultivators inside the flying ship were full of terror; such an event has already happened more than once or twice, and it had always gone smoothly.

Although the Little Knife Commerce Association’s goods were generally not valuable, just obtaining a flying ship made it worthwhile to dispatch a Golden Core cultivator.

Of course, the most important reason is that having done it so many times, even though the Little Knife Commerce Association is wealthy, the strength behind them is probably insufficient to deal with them.

Simply earning money easily, that’s the most important.

Who would have known that now, the change would occur so suddenly.

The thought of retreating flashed by.

They found that the energy consumption of the flying ship greatly increased and immediately injected spiritual qi to stabilize it.

However, the flying ship kept getting smaller, and the array-like shield directly disappeared.

The flying ship was covered with talismans; even zombies weren’t this unlucky.

It appeared to be trembling, entirely sealed.

As it shrank, the cultivators inside became like in a can.

By this time, they wanted to escape, but it was already too late.

Interesting.

This is a talisman cultivator, huh.

Indeed powerful enough.

A Golden Core cultivator, and in the middle stage.

A flying ship that can withstand Golden Core attacks, including the cultivators inside.

Had no resistance at all.

This power completely shocked them.

But at this moment, nobody considered this.

Because

"Too costly." Several Foundation Establishment family heads gulped, unable to afford to play this.

In such talisman combat, regardless of win or lose, it’s a loss.

A family’s millennium foundation cannot withstand several such battles.

Too costly.

No wonder talisman cultivators are rumored to be powerful but are rarely seen outside, far less often than magic cultivators or sword cultivators, whose deeds are often spread around.

However, this time, Small Knife didn’t lose.

Because just that flying ship, able to reach Golden Core level speed, is valuable, and it was completely sealed.

After this, there’s no need to say much.

Whether it’s captives or the flying ship, they were all secured by Small Knife.

The Little Knife Guild’s flying ship returned once more.

On the road, while others weren’t paying attention, Small Knife put all the flying ships, captives, and the like into his personal space.

Of course, there were enough experts there for training, training.

In Small Knife’s eyes, the most valuable isn’t the flying ship but that Golden Core cultivator.

Due to the short time and the spirit root’s reasons, the Daoist soldiers in Small Knife’s personal space haven’t yet cultivated to the Golden Core level.

So, in the factory, there’s a significant shortage of Golden Core level workers.

The purity of the injected spiritual power is inadequate, with many limitations.

Even if the technology is reached, it’s still impossible to manufacture.

Now with one more added, along with analysis technology and the like, it’s believed that Golden Core-level spirit talismans can soon be produced.

Of course, preliminary brainwashing and such are necessary to extract the intelligence he knows and make him understand why the flowers are so red.

These do not require Small Knife’s spirit and will to enter personal space to preside over.

When they returned to the small town, the personal space had already summarized and prepared the interrogation information.

Warned in advance to keep it secret, the flying ship landed in the town as usual, Small Knife hidden among the returning people, entering the courtyard.

You could faintly hear the voices of congratulations, lucky not to be robbed and returned.

It used to be fine; now the probability of encountering robberies when going out is increasing.

Although as long as they don’t resist, no harm comes to the personnel, being robbed of everything leaves them worried.

The willingness to go out is also decreasing.

Small Knife, inside the house, reviewed the interrogation information.

Leave the professional work to professionals, even if they are Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, so what.

Indeed, in a short time, all the information has been relayed.

As expected, it was all because his participation in the auction was somewhat high-profile.

Spending too much money got them noticed, probably not just by one party.

However, since he never left the city, being watched for a long time, the flying ships of the Little Knife Commerce Association were robbed.

The gain was not as high as expected, seemingly less than the gains of flying ships from other associations.

However, they soon discovered that after the robbery, there was no conventional counterattack or revenge.

It’s unbelievable; no commerce association would allow such behavior unchecked. Once robbed, they would surely make the perpetrators pay the price, otherwise, the association couldn’t survive.

This is naturally an unspoken rule.

As time went by, without any retaliation, naturally, the second, third robbery followed,

There was even a ridiculous situation where a flying ship went out and was simultaneously robbed by two groups.
