Chapter 218
Hall Master Xu and Tang Yi were both dumbfounded.
The Mountain Protection Array could be exited, but not entered—or so they thought. They’d assumed that once they faced the dragon outside, returning would be impossible. Yet somehow… they’d just walked right back through it.
The dragon, however, had not been so lucky. It slammed into the glowing barrier with an earth-shaking crash, claws raking uselessly against the light wall only five or six feet away from them, utterly unable to reach its prey.
“What… what just happened?” the two men stared at the glowing talismans on their robes in confusion.
“It’s the girl’s talisman,” the old man explained offhandedly. “Lets us move in and out of the array freely.”
He’d only just remembered that Yun Jiao had once handed him such a thing—one of her “experimental” designs. Being the sect’s chief talisman expert, he’d received plenty of her prototypes (and homework). Who knew they’d save their lives today?
“Talisman…” Xu and Tang exchanged a glance, realization dawning. No wonder Yun Jiao had sent only them.
With these, the dragon wasn’t half as terrifying as it seemed.
Their eyes gleamed. In a silent moment of understanding, the three split off in different directions. Then the game began.
They dashed in and out of the barrier like ghosts—hurling a spell, dodging back inside before the dragon could retaliate. One attacked from the east, another from the west, a third from above. Fireballs, lightning bolts, thunder talismans—all thrown like teasing stones.
It wasn’t a battle. It was a playground chase.
