Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Stirring Up a Hornet’s Nest

A series of Heavenly Merit acquisition prompts brought not the slightest joy to Wang Chen.

Time was running out for him!

Seeing that more than a dozen consecutive Meteor Fire Talismans had failed to break through the golden-crowned man’s defense, Wang Chen decisively stopped and did not continue to waste precious time and energy.

Talismans were indeed sharp weapons in battle.

But they couldn’t be used at will, as much as one desired to unleash them.

To cast one or two talismans was something any cultivator could do.

But once the number increased, the situation was entirely different.

It was known that the more talismans activated instantly, the higher the requirements on the caster’s mana and spirit!

Even for a talisman cultivator specializing in talismanic arts, the number of magical talismans one could cast at a time was very limited.

Moreover, the higher the tier of the talismans, the more difficult it was to cast them.

Wang Chen’s current limit was a volley of ten talismans!

After three volleys of thirty Meteor Fire Talismans, he felt a heavy burden.

This approach was not working!

The golden-crowned man’s body protection artifact was too powerful, and it was futile to continue forcing the issue with Meteor Fire Talismans.

“You are doomed!”

As soon as Wang Chen stopped, the golden-crowned man hidden within the rock armor became even more arrogant, “You can’t run away, neither can your entire family. I’m going to personally skin you, you mud-blood…”

Wang Chen ignored the man’s filthy language.

He looked at the thick turtle shell in front of him, a thousand thoughts flashing through his mind.

How to break it?

This guy had seen Wang Chen and had a deep background and power.

Now, an unresolvable grudge had formed between them.

If Wang Chen didn’t silence him, then his only option would be to abandon everything and flee to the Outer Domain.

But could he escape the pursuit of the Cloud Sun sect’s Soul Tablet?

This was the worst choice.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Wang Chen’s mind.

He abruptly moved forward, heavily slapping his palm onto the golden-crowned man’s rock armor.

He instantly activated a grandmaster-tier Mudstone Technique!

Petrify to Mud!!

Among all the skills Wang Chen had mastered, the Mudstone Technique was of the highest level.

It was painstakingly honed, bit by bit, during countless days and nights underground, out of the sun’s reach.

His mastery was so deep that no one in the entire Cloud Sun sect could compare!

Although the Mudstone Technique held no offensive power,

it was the best option Wang Chen could think of for the current situation.

If this didn’t work, he would have no choice but to flee for his life.

Hum〜

The part of the rock armor struck by Wang Chen’s palm suddenly emitted a earthy yellow glow, the entire turtle shell violently shook.

The golden-crowned man’s jeering abruptly ceased!

Like a cassette tape whose power had been suddenly cut.

Wang Chen swiftly clenched his fingers, grasping a handful of soft stone magma.

It worked!

The Mudstone Technique was effective.

Although the result was nowhere near comparable to when he used it to dig tunnels,

it broke through the defense!!

When he withdrew his hand, there was suddenly a hole in the golden-crowned man’s rock armor, larger than a fist.

New rock immediately began to grow from the edges of the breach.

“Open!”

Wang Chen shouted, swinging his palms like hammers left and right, striking repeatedly at the spot he had just broken open.

Each time he struck firmly, he immediately grasped and pulled at the stone to widen the hole.

Standing at the crossroads of fate, Wang Chen was completely focused and gave his all, completely disregarding the consumption of his mana.

One palm strike, two, three…

In just a brief moment, he had forcefully punched through the two-foot-thick rock armor.

The upper half of the golden-crowned man’s face was now exposed!

This second-generation cultivator, who had been so full of bluster, was now completely devoid of his earlier arrogance, his peach blossom eyes filled with sheer terror, “My grandfather is the Purple Mansion Superior…”

When the armor that had protected him was stripped away, the weakness in his heart and his fundamental incompetence were laid bare without a trace of concealment.

At this moment, he actually thought to use his own status to threaten Wang Chen!

“Die!”

Wang Chen’s right arm suddenly swelled, his muscles bulging and tendons popping.

The next moment, he threw a punch that mercilessly struck the other’s face through the broken void.

Colossal Strength Vajra Fist!

Crack!

The metal-crowned man’s face instantly shattered into pieces, and his head exploded!

The ridiculous thing was, before he died, this second-generation cultivator didn’t even think to retract his body-protecting magic artifact.

As a result, this powerful magic artifact became his death cage, preventing him from using other defensive or escape techniques, allowing him to be killed on the spot by Wang Chen without resistance.

[Heavenly Merit +7]

As soon as the crown-wearing man died, the radiance of the crown on his head instantly faded.

The thick rock armor on his body also collapsed, turning into countless specks of dirt that fell rustling down.

Wang Chen reached out to take the man’s crown and sword and put them into the Storage Bag, then cast a Fire Crow Technique.

Destroy the corpse and erase the traces!

In fact, there was also a Cloud-Patterned Brocade Pouch hanging by the crowned man’s waist.

But Wang Chen didn’t even think about touching it.

One look was enough to tell that it was a very high-level Storage Bag, which certainly bore unique marks or even powerful prohibitions.

After all, the man was a direct descendant of the Purple Mansion Superior!

A Storage Bag cannot be placed inside another Storage Bag, and to prevent others from tracking him, Wang Chen could only destroy it along with everything else.

Even if there might be other treasures inside.

In life, one must never be greedy!

Fire crows danced in the air, and the four corpses lying on the ground, along with the horse carcass, were all incinerated to ashes by the fierce flames.

Immediately after, Wang Chen swiftly cast four Rebirth Talismans and four Evil-Repelling Talismans.

Finally, he smashed two Poison Smoke Bombs on the ground!

The Poison Smoke Bombs had come from the “Taize Three Friends” he had killed.

This item could emit a thick poisonous smoke, with a choking smell that could confuse one’s scent.

It was a preventative measure against being tracked by spirit dogs or other tamed beasts.

A series of actions were performed by Wang Chen with the smoothness of flowing clouds and the fluidity of streaming water, all completed in less than the time it took for ten breaths.

The moment he threw out the Poison Smoke Bombs, Wang Chen’s entire body was like a slingshot loaded with power, suddenly flinging himself backward and fleeing rapidly.

After a few boundings, his figure had already disappeared into the dense forest.

In just the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, several figures flew to the scene, but all they saw was the lingering and spreading poison smoke.

“What happened?”

“Where did Seventh Young Master go?”

“Didn’t see him just now, Uncle Yong’s Xuan Ying is also gone.”

“Someone here used Rebirth Talismans and Evil-Repelling Talismans!”

“You guys, go search around quickly, we have to find him!”

“Something’s wrong, notify the Yin Family immediately!”

Several cultivators were so anxious that they were jumping up and down, each with a pale face, feeling as though their heads were hanging by a thread.

The Yin Family’s Seventh Young Master was the most cherished grandson of Superior Yin!

If something happened to him, although they were not directly responsible, they probably could not escape punishment.

While these people were frantically searching for the whereabouts of the Seventh Young Master, Wang Chen had already dived into a nearby stream, swimming downstream for twenty or thirty miles.

He was already familiar with the surrounding geographical environment.

After reemerging in a concealed location, Wang Chen stripped off all his clothes.

He burned them all to ashes.

After putting on new clothes, he circled around for dozens of miles and sneaked back into his home through another secret path.

Then, Wang Chen waited in the secret chamber on the third underground level of his home.

Waiting for the situation to ferment and explode!

This time he had really stirred up a huge hornet’s nest.

Wang Chen was fully prepared to be a fugitive, ready to die and be buried in an anonymous grave.
