Chapter 2029 - 2026: A Cornered Dog Will Jump Over the Wall

"If you have nothing to hide, why are you afraid to hand over this item?"

Zhu Xuan stepped forward, her eyes sparkling with sharpness.

Xu Wendong took out the Mountain Splitting River Breaking Axe; Qian Wuming was not going to obediently hand over the Seventh-grade Treasure today. That thing was considered a national treasure in the Da Yin Dynasty; how could he easily give it up?

"Whether I have something to hide has nothing to do with you."

Qian Wuming retorted stubbornly, "This item is something I obtained, so it’s mine. Don’t even think about getting it."

With that said, he unexpectedly threw out a Netherworld Talisman.

The Netherworld Talisman flickered with bright lights in the air, then transformed into intense Yin Energy and Soul Power, exploding instantly.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the Netherworld Talisman went off, quickly blasting the people around it away.

"Not good, he’s trying to escape!"

Zhu Xuan was taken aback, and everyone froze in place. They initially thought Xu Wendong was deliberately framing Qian Wuming, but Qian Wuming’s reactions proclaimed to everyone that the small knife on him was definitely extraordinary!

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Xu Wendong shouted explosively, fiercely throwing the Mountain Splitting River Breaking Axe in his hand.

In an instant, an axe light struck Qian Wuming’s back.

Qian Wuming, who only thought of escaping, was brutally hit, leaving a hideous blood mark on his back, with flesh turning over, appearing extremely horrifying.

"Brat, you’re courting death!"

Qian Wuming was furious—his woman was taken, and now his treasure was targeted.

Everything he desired, Xu Wendong would snatch away; he was unwilling!

"Fiery Fire Talisman!"

Suddenly, Qian Wuming threw out a Netherworld Talisman, which quickly burned, absorbing Yin Energy and forming a fierce tiger shape. The flaming tiger pounced directly at Xu Wendong.

"Such petty tricks!"

Xu Wendong sneered, the Fiery Fire Talisman, as a Third-grade Nether Talisman, was an extremely effective means of attack and defense, but Xu Wendong wasn’t afraid at all. A Yin Fire emerged on his body.

In just a moment, the pouncing flaming tiger was assimilated by the Yin Fire.

The Yin Energy and Soul Power within it were completely absorbed, entirely becoming Xu Wendong’s strength.

"What?"

Qian Wuming was stunned; he never expected Xu Wendong to absorb the power of his Netherworld Talisman. Those around were also visibly shocked at the sight.

Zhu Chun rubbed his eyes in disbelief, staring at Xu Wendong.

Even the Fiery Fire Talisman that he would avoid by all means was swallowed so casually by Xu Wendong?

"Is that all?" Xu Wendong sneered.

With the axe in hand, he charged forward once more, this time without holding back, swinging the axe directly at Qian Wuming’s forehead.

Regardless of his status as a disciple of the Nether Talisman Hall, if he dared play dirty, death would be his fate!

This axe strike filled Qian Wuming with terror.

As a disciple of the Nether Talisman Hall, he had formidable talisman-crafting skills, but in terms of combat, it was indeed his weakness. Although Xu Wendong’s Cultivation Realm was much lower, at this moment, Qian Wuming was powerless to resist.

"Block for me!"

Qian Wuming shouted, taking out the small knife from his waist, the knife flashed instantly.

The radiant light appeared, shining on everyone’s faces, waves of surging aura spread out, vast and infinite.

The strong oppression unfolded directly, forming halos that enveloped Qian Wuming.

"This is..."

"Such strong Yin Energy and Soul Power!"

"That’s a treasure, and a high-grade one at that!"

Everyone was shocked; Xu Wendong’s judgment was indeed correct, the small knife in Qian Wuming’s hand was truly a Seventh-grade Treasure!

"There’s definitely something strange about him!"

Zhu Xuan stomped in anger; if not for Xu Wendong noticing the clues, she would have missed out on the Seventh-grade Treasure.

One must know it’s the crucial item deciding her marriage prospects.

"Bastard, you dare to deceive me!" Zhu Xuan gritted her teeth and said angrily, "All imperial members, heed my command, capture him; I want that small knife in his hand!"

Seeing this, the imperial family members rushed forward.

The other factions also showed intent to kill as they headed towards Qian Wuming.

"Who would have thought that was really a Seventh-grade Treasure; we all missed it."

"No, it’s that Qian Wuming was too good at disguising; he truly dared to secretly keep such a treasure!"

"Hmph, knowing that Your Highness Princess wants the Seventh-grade Treasure, he still dared to keep it hidden, courting death!"

Everyone was indignant.

They had been invited by the Princess and received benefits; now if someone fails to adhere to the agreement, wouldn’t all the treasures they obtained have to be handed to the imperial family?

It’s known that the Da Yin Dynasty’s imperial family is domineering; this expedition was agreed by the Princess to only take the Seventh-grade Treasure and leave other items to them.

Now they’d all profited greatly, reluctant to relinquish their acquisitions.

"You think you can stop me?"

Facing everyone’s attack, Qian Wuming’s gaze flickered with insane killing intent.

Holding the small knife, he seemed reborn, gleaming brilliantly.

And the Netherworld Talismans he casually tossed out gave everyone a hard time.

The greatest skill of a Nether Talisman Master is indeed the talismans!

"Ice Breath Talisman!"

"Gale Talisman!"

Two consecutive Netherworld Talismans were released, although both were Third-grade, they caused everyone much trouble. The gale prevented them from approaching Qian Wuming, and the Ice Breath Talisman emitted strong freezing breath, turning anything hit into ice crystals.

In the gale, one would be shattered into pieces if caught.

With consecutive tactics employed, the imperial members and disciples of various factions couldn’t get close.

"Do you think you can escape?" Zhu Xuan shouted angrily.

"You’re a disciple of the Nether Talisman Hall; if they find out, you can’t return!"

"Plus you’ll be wanted by the Da Yin Dynasty, doomed no matter how far you run!"

Today, due to his greed, Qian Wuming was utterly isolated.

No one would save him.

"Ha ha ha, I, Qian Wuming, am a hero of a region, the mere Nether Talisman Hall can’t contain me, and what if I’m wanted by your imperial family?" Qian Wuming laughed maniacally.

"Before that, I’ll take care of this kid!"

Finishing the words, Qian Wuming threw another Netherworld Talisman.

This time, he targeted Xu Wendong.

If not for Xu Wendong, how could all these troubles have arisen?

Everything stemmed from Xu Wendong; killing him would end it all!

A Netherworld Talisman flew towards Xu Wendong.

Qian Wuming’s eyes brimmed with fierce killing intent.

"Fourth Grade Nether Talisman, Furious Dragon Tornado!"

Qian Wuming shouted angrily; a windstorm resembling a dragon tornado emerged instantaneously, with destructive power tearing the ground apart.

"Not good!"

Zhu Xuan was astonished, and both Li Jiayin and Zhao Ying’er were panic-stricken.

Could it be that Xu Wendong would die under this Nether Talisman?
