Chapter 97 Crystal Ball
After encountering various crises several times outside, Song Qingming gradually saw the dangers and conspiracies in the cultivation world. In order to improve his ability to survive outside, Song Qingming spent a lot of time thinking about some useful self-defense methods in the three years in Qinghefang.
Just like the Qinghuo Lei he just used to deal with Zhou Tangjin, this thing is a one-time spiritual object like a talisman, and its quality is only level one. It is more powerful than the general level one high-quality talisman. If it is used normally against the enemy, it is difficult to play a decisive role.
Last time on the trip to Bailong Mountain, Song Qingming was almost attacked by the cultivator named Guitou with a fake "Blood Soul Contract". After returning, Song Qingming repeatedly thought about Guitou's method and found that he used a trick to seal the attacking talisman in an inconspicuous object. As long as a cultivator opened it, it would instantly trigger the talisman and make it impossible for people to dodge.
Song Qingming also followed suit and made one later, but he didn't make any fake martial arts manuals, but directly used another ordinary storage bag on him.
He had a different idea from Guitou. He felt that although the "blood soul contract" prepared by Guitou at that time would be relatively low in cost, it was too deliberate and complicated to use. It could only deceive those young men who were not deeply involved in the matter. It was difficult to succeed when encountering a more cautious cultivator like Song Qingming.
Guitou did this because this trick was a means he often used to sneak attack others, and he couldn't do it so finely. Another point was that he was not as wealthy as Song Qingming now.
Song Qingming's idea of using a storage bag as bait was relatively simple. His purpose was not to use it to actively harm others, but just to exchange for an opportunity to escape when he encountered a crisis that was difficult to escape.
After all, most people are greedy, and when they see valuable objects, they will subconsciously lower their guard. As long as the opponent opens the storage bag he prepared in advance, the attack means inside will be triggered. Zhou Jintang was also a very greedy person just now. As expected, he was still calculated by Song Qingming.
"The second-level defensive talisman used by Daoyou should be the one you got two days ago. Daoyou Zhou is really willing to use this second-level talisman directly." Seeing Zhou Jintang looking at him fiercely, Song Qingming continued to speak with a faint expression.
As Song Qingming said, he just used the biggest means of saving his life, so he didn't get hit by Song Qingming and saved his life.
Zhou Jintang saw that the yellow light shield on his body was getting dimmer and dimmer, and he knew in his heart that the talisman in his hand could not hold on for long. He was now injured by the green fire thunder, and it was difficult to be sure of defeating Song Qingming.
The reason why Song Qingming hadn't started to attack was actually because he was waiting. Although the trap he had prepared in advance had severely injured this person, Song Qingming didn't know if Zhou Jintang had any other powerful means, so he didn't dare to attack rashly.
At least he had to wait until the power of the second-level talisman in Zhou Jintang's hand disappeared before he could make a move. After all, he had already taken the advantage now, so he didn't need to be too anxious.
Zhou Jintang also slowly recovered his reason from his anger. Seeing that the current situation was a little bad, he slowly stood up from the ground and said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Song is really a good method. Zhou really underestimated you. Today I admit defeat, you go."
"You and I have only known each other for a few days, and Brother Zhou has such a deep friendship. He has come thousands of miles to see me off. At least I have to use a big gift to thank you. Mortals still have to pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. Brother Zhou, don't you think so?" Song Qingming said calmly.
"Okay, we all know the truth, so don't waste your time. If you want to eat me, it depends on whether your teeth are good enough."
Zhou Jintang also heard from Song Qingming's words that he had no intention of letting him go. For him, it would be difficult for Song Qingming to change his mind if he didn't fight today.
As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Jintang danced with the spear in his hand, and a green light blade on the silver spear head quickly slashed towards Song Qingming. He knew that his injuries were not light, and it would be disadvantageous for him to drag it on, so he could only choose to launch the attack first.
Seeing Zhou Jintang's full-strength attack, Song Qingming did not dare to neglect his right hand and gently raised it. A golden copper umbrella had appeared in his hand. After the copper umbrella was opened, it became much larger and protected Song Qingming's whole body.
As soon as the green light blade and the yellow light covered on the Tianluo umbrella touched, a "squeaking" friction sound was made, and sparks flew in an instant. Song Qingming retreated several steps before blocking the attack. It really made him a little puzzled.
Zhou Jintang's cultivation was higher than Song Qingming's, and he practiced a wood-attributed technique that naturally restrained Song Qingming's earth-attributed technique, Kunyuan Jue. Under normal circumstances, if the two of them competed in magic power, Song Qingming would suffer a lot.
Song Qingming didn't think much about it. After blocking this attack, he quickly turned to attack. He formed seals with his hands and a stream of magic power flowed from the ground to Zhou Jintang's feet, turning into several sharp earth spikes.
Zhou Jintang was not in a hurry. He jumped sideways into the air and easily dodged these stabs from the ground.
Before he landed, two talismans in Song Qingming's hands flashed with golden light, and two golden knife lights came to him again. This time, he had not used the protective shield on his body yet, and it was already difficult to avoid it.
Unable to dodge in the air, Zhou Jintang did not have enough time to use his internal mana to directly form a protective shield to resist the two attacks. Just when Song Qingming thought that he could hit the opponent with this attack, Zhou Jintang sneered contemptuously and took out a blue crystal ball.
The crystal ball was not big, only the size of a walnut. After Zhou Jintang put it on his head, a blue light quickly enveloped him, surrounding him tightly. The two medium-grade talismans used by Song Qingming hit the blue light ball and quickly lost their spirituality, turning into an ordinary piece of waste paper and falling down.
The light ball emitted by this crystal ball not only has outstanding defensive power, but also has the ability to absorb spiritual power. The two middle-grade spiritual talismans had just come into contact with the light ball for a short time before their spiritual energy was exhausted, which really made Song Qingming stunned on the spot. He didn't expect Zhou Jintang to have such a powerful magic weapon. The defensive ability of this crystal ball is no worse than the Tianluo Umbrella in Song Qingming's hand.
Seeing Song Qingming's face full of surprise after seeing the power of his magic weapon, Zhou Jintang has a little more confidence in the next battle.
The magic weapon on Zhou Jintang's head has been with him for many years. It can be regarded as the top defensive magic weapon among the first-grade defensive magic weapons. After obtaining it, it has saved his life several times. It is considered to be the most powerful defensive means on him.
After seeing the power of the crystal ball on Zhou Jintang's head, Song Qingming's face changed and he felt a headache. Although he also sacrificed a good defensive magic weapon like the Tianluo Umbrella, his offensive ability was very average. He only had a medium-quality white jade sword and not even a high-quality flying sword.
"It seems that there will be a hard battle next."
