Chapter 827: Chang Yun
As his lips parted, a streak of golden light emerged and rippled outward like waves. Luejin retreated a step, coughing up two droplets of blood, and a small hole appeared on his chest.
Li Xuanfeng frowned slightly. His last arrow’s strength had clearly weakened. As he drew his bow again, he saw Luejin retrieve a scroll from his sleeve. He held it with both hands and gently shook it open.
Countless shimmering golden runes burst from the scripture, scattering through the air like rain and filling the sky before him. But Li Xuanfeng had already struck him twice and paid it no mind as he loosed the golden light from his bowstring.
Buzz...
Luejin’s dharma body trembled, and he coughed up more blood. Realizing his technique was ineffective, he hesitated for only two breaths before opening his lips to chant a spell.
Li Xuanfeng felt a murmured chant stream into his ears, causing his mind to twist in pain. The Profound Pearl Talisman Seed floating above his qi sea did not stir and release a cool current as it once had. It remained still, and was trembling faintly in the air.
"Just as I thought..."
Li Xuanfeng had already sensed something was off back in the Pristine Heaven’s Pool Below of the Xinyou Pristine Marsh Seal. When Maha Pi Jia attacked, he had never felt the cooling sensation of the talisman seed. Instead, he had been fully exposed to the multicolored light.
He had only vaguely realized it then, but now the truth was clear in his heart, I consumed the Human Pill. Although the talisman seed didn’t immediately vanish due to certain reasons, it has already detached from my qi sea. All my current cultivation stems from borrowing its power. To seek its protection again... would be difficult.
