38. Talisman

Faced with such blatant swarm and bullying tactics, the man wanted nothing more than to scream out at the top of his lungs about the injustice and unfairness!

He knew that he couldn't let this just carry on. If it continued, then he ran the risk of simply being exhausted to death, so in the split second that the three skeletons approached, he made an important decision.

Holding his sword in his hand, he controlled his breathing as he felt the Qi in his body surge wildly.

Suddenly, his sword burst into a brilliant blue light as his sword-like eyes opened!

"Flurry of swords!"

As soon as the man cried out, he swung his sword so fast that even Fang Yang struggled to track it. In that moment, countless sword lights erupted from his body.

The instant after the attack was completed, the man visibly slumped a little as fine beads of sweat started to accumulate on his now pale face.

But despite such a side effect, the attack was definitely worth it.

In that moment, 3 of the attacking skeletons had been completely obliterated and the remaining 2 were seriously injured, each missing an arm.

So Although he was slightly drained of Qi, the man was still confident that he would be able to deal with both of those skeletons and Fang Yang without too much problem.

The man's determined eyes locked onto Fang Yang.

Now that the skeletons were out of the picture, he wanted to deal with him as quickly as possible and get this fight over and done with.

But just as the man was about to make a move, he saw a faint smirk on Fang Yang's face as his eyes curved, almost as if they were mocking him.

Instantly, his heart skipped a beat as an unsettling feeling emerged. The only problem was that he couldn't quite figure out where it was coming from.

But only seconds later, the man didn't have to guess anymore as a familiar black mist swirled around Fang Yang. But despite the thick black mist, the man could still make out the faint, hazy figure of three more large skeleton soldiers.

"I-impossible! This simply isn't possible!"

The man almost couldn't believe what he was seeing and for the first time, a large feeling of despair started to form in his heart.

He had already exhausted himself to make a major move in fighting off one encirclement, but now he had to face another?

He simply didn't have enough Qi to do the same move twice.

If he was surrounded and attacked by another group of skeletons, then he would most definitely die!

At that moment, one thought quickly flashed through his mind.

'Have I made a mistake fighting this guy?'

But the second the man had this thought, he quickly snapped out of it.

He couldn't afford to falter and doubt himself here!

Looking at his space pouch, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, but when the man saw the approaching figures of five skeletons, the little hesitation he had quickly disappeared.

Reaching into his space bag, the man eventually brought an object surrounded by a faint green light.

As Fang Yang saw this sight, he couldn't maintain his stoic appearance anymore and his face finally changed

"A talisman!"

For the first time since the start of the fight, it was Fang Yang's turn to panic.

In the world of immortal cultivation, talismans were often very powerful yet still faintly overlooked treasures.

They were often one time use and the creation and sale of talismans never paid as much as that of alchemy pills or spirit treasures and tools.

But the most important thing about talismans was that they were a cheap and easy way to increase combat power.

They were often engraved with powerful spells that the user often couldn't cast and that could greatly assist the user in battle

After pulling out the glowing green talisman, the man didn't hesitate and slapped it onto his legs.

Instantly, a green glow covered the man's body.

The second he saw the man use the talisman on himself, Fang Yang used his ghost spirit steps to get as far away from the attacker as possible.

The man who had just activated the talisman didn't even take notice of Fang Yang's movements. He just smiled as he stepped forward and disappeared. No, it only looked like that.

The man's speed was so fast that Fang Yang could barely even see the man's shadow. One second he was watching the man opposite him wrapped in a faint green light and in the next second he could see bones and skulls soar into the air as two of his skeleton soldiers fell to the ground.

After tasting the wonderful power brought by his newfound speed, the man just looked at Fang Yang and smiled.

The confidence that had been shattered by his previous exchanges with Fang Yang was slowly coming back to him.

Turning to look towards Fang Yang, the condescending light in his eyes couldn't be concealed and when the man saw the terror that was clearly visible in Fang Yang's eyes, the smile on his face only widened.

Now that he had dealt with the two skeletons and adjusted to his newfound speed, the man wouldn't waste any more time dealing with Fang Yang's undead creatures.

The fastest way to defeat an army was to capture the king.

Killing Fang Yang won't just help him, but also help his two brothers that were also being attacked by Fang Yang's undead.

The man's figure flickered as he dashed towards Fang Yang. With every step he took Fang Yang could see the smile on the man's face grow wider.

In the face of this charge, Fang Yang's hand started to shake and when the man saw this, he became even more fearless.

Approaching Fang Yang, he raised his sword high into the sky, preparing to cleave him completely in half. But right before the man could strike down, the aura around Fang Yang suddenly changed.
