Chapter 72: The Tide of Battle Turns

  Jiang Shan's face changed, and he said: "Li Wenjun, don't think that just because you're a cultivator, you can be arrogant. I've seen many cultivators before, and you're not special. If I'm not mistaken, your cultivation level should still be very low, otherwise, you wouldn't have been trapped by us and almost became a ghost under our knife."

  Don't think you're so great, don't be arrogant. Arrogance doesn't bring any benefits. Think carefully, I'm representing the young master to invite you, it's because we think you have talent, it's an honor for you, and we want the young master to cultivate you. Don't be shameless, but you really treat yourself as a number one person?

  Li Wenjun's face sank as he said, "Don't drag out the time any longer. Today, both you and Third Master must die. Look at my knife."

  As he spoke, Li Wenjun suddenly swung the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife, which had lit up again, at Jiang Shan, and another dazzling knife edge rapidly chopped towards Jiang Shan.

  Jiang Shan's skills in evading the giant worm were exceptional, and he could easily dodge if he wanted to. However, he didn't dare to, as behind him was still San Gongzi, who had yet to escape from the Second Hall. If San Gongzi died, Jiang Shan would have no way to report back to Po Jun Hou.

  Li Wenjun's sword was a must-save for Jiang Shan, who had no choice but to stand still and swing his broadsword to meet the incoming blade. His broadsword was also a treasured blade, worth a thousand gold coins, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to block the blade transformed by magic.

  With a loud crash, Jiang Xuan accurately and unerringly struck the knife's edge. The broadsword shook violently, but instead of feeling excited, his heart sank like it had fallen into an endless abyss, feeling chilled to the bone. "This is bad, I've fallen into their trap."

  When Jiang Shan arrived at the knife's edge, he discovered that Li Wenjun's knife was all show and no substance. It looked very impressive, but it didn't have any real power. When it hit the broadsword, it only made the broadsword tremble slightly, without cutting off another piece of it.

  In a situation where both sides are seeing red, Li Wenjun cannot be hiding anything at this time, so there can only be one explanation, Li Wenjun is openly repairing the bridge, secretly crossing the river, in other words, pointing east and hitting west.

  As expected, Jiang Shan immediately heard the third young master's sharp cry, like a chicken being slaughtered. "Jiang sir, save me quickly."

  Li Wenjun flashed out a knife light and then used his Light Body Technique, swiftly dodging Jiang Xue and going to chase and kill the Third Young Master.

  Jiang Shan is just a dog, after all. The Third Master is the one who raised the dog and let it harm people. Moreover, Jiang Shan is very troublesome. In a short time, it's impossible to deal with him quickly. If he gets entangled with Jiang Shan, the Third Master may be able to escape.

  There were many corpses on the ground in the temple, and San Gongzi was already frightened like a dog who had lost his home. He panicked and didn't care about the road, and when he saw Li Wenjun, this killing star, rushing towards him, he became even more flustered. Unmindful for a moment, he tripped over a corpse and fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Xuemei save me, Lord Jiang, save me." The third young master crawled a bit, one foot stepped into the blood pool, his feet slipped and he didn't get up, and fell again.

  Wu Xuemei and Wu Yiming siblings looked at the Third Master who had fallen to the ground with extremely complicated eyes, as well as Li Wenjun who flew over like a big roc spreading its wings, then quickened their pace, bypassed the screen of the Second Hall, and escaped from the back door of the Second Hall.

  "Dog thief, come and surrender." Li Wenjun was still in mid-air when he aimed at Third Master and swung the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife. Instantly, a blade of over three feet long flew out and slashed towards Third Master who had fallen to the ground.

  Just as the blade was about to fall on Third Master's body, a yellow light suddenly flew over, and Li Wenjun heard a "Lin" sound.

  A loud hum, a semi-circular shield suddenly appeared, enveloping the Third Young Master inside. The knife edge chopped onto the shield, the shield's light flashed, several symbols on its surface slid like fish, and in an instant, the knife edge dissipated, the shield remained motionless.

  At the critical moment, he saved the third young master. Jiang Shan let out a sigh of relief and said: "Third Young Master, hide in the shield, don't move, as long as you don't come out, you are safe, Li Wenjun can't kill you."

  Li Wenjun fell to the ground, his face gloomy as he stared at this sudden appearance of a shield. He had read "Xiu Xian Za Lun" and had some knowledge, this shield was very similar to the transparent shield that protected him after he used the Golden Vajra Technique, no need to think, this was also a method of the immortal family, or a technique of the cultivator.

  "Li Wenjun, what I said earlier still stands. As long as you are willing to surrender to the Marquis and pledge your loyalty to him, no matter what mistakes you have made in the past, they can be forgiven. Think carefully about my proposal, don't make a mistake."

  "How could you resort to such tactics? Are you a cultivator like me?" Li Wenjun asked back.

  "I'm not a cultivator, but I have ways to kill low-level cultivators like you who refuse to serve the young master. Li Wenjun, don't think about stalling for time, I will kill you before the protective shield of the three princes." Jiang Shan's experience was extremely rich, and she easily saw through Li Wenjun's intentions.

  Li Wenjun's face changed slightly, he was indeed stalling for time. No matter how powerful the shield was, it must have a time limit. Once the time limit is up, the shield will lose its effect, and San Gongzi will lose his protection. Wouldn't he immediately become a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered?

  Jiang Shan reached into her bosom and pulled out two yellow papers, on which were written dense and intricate characters in a bright red ink.

  Li Wenjun's expression was solemn, and in "Essays on Cultivation of Immortality", there is a record that cultivators have a special method to infuse magic into talismans or other symbolic bases. The products made using this method are called talismanic scrolls.

  The power of talismans can be great or small, great ones can move mountains and fill seas, while small ones can cut melons and chop vegetables. Talismans like the Fireball Technique and the Immovable Diamond Technique have corresponding talismans, which are the weakest kind in the entire talisman system.

  In other words, the talisman brought out by Jiang Shan has a power that can at least counter his own magic. Li Wenjun is only a low-level cultivator with shallow magical powers and the skills he masters are the most basic and lowest level. At this time, encountering a secular person holding a talisman may not necessarily gain the upper hand, especially since Jiang Shan is not just an ordinary person but a top-notch master among secular people.

  For a time, the situation that Li Wenjun was facing turned in his favor, but just at this moment, it once again became precarious.

  Li Wenjun's heart became apprehensive, and Jiang Shan was no better off. On the surface, he had a calm and collected demeanor, but in reality, he was secretly suffering unbearably.

  Jiang Shan brought only three talismans this time, all of which were given to him by Po Jun Hou. When Po Jun Hou gave him the talismans, he told Jiang Shan that they were extremely precious and should not be used lightly unless it was a critical moment. Moreover, Po Jun Hou also informed him that these talismans had a time limit, and once the time limit expired, the person using the talisman would be sent back to their original form.
