Chapter 356: Compensation, Full Compensation!
Just as Yun Ran was about to finish drawing her second Attack Talisman, its murderous aura seemed stronger than the previous talisman's.
Someone swallowed involuntarily: "What is this, upping the ante? Was that previous Attack Talisman just a mere appetizer?"
The person standing next to him clearly felt the same way.
They quickly replied: "Now, I'm even more curious about who her master might be, she's almost becoming a Hexagonal Warrior."
There was a "crack~" sound.
Everyone unanimously turned towards the source of the sound, good grief, someone was actually eating sunflower seeds during such an exciting duel!
Then, the plates filled with sunflower seeds were immediately emptied by the crowd.
Let's just say, at a time like this, munching on sunflower seeds while watching the battle is indeed quite amusing.
Xiang Liu blocked the last strand of red line, and his clothes were drenched in sweat, but he had no intention of stopping. On the contrary, his eyes were becoming brighter.
At this moment, he did not regard Yun Ran's Attack Talisman as an opponent, but rather, a whetstone to sharpen himself.
"Lady Yun's Attack Talisman is truly formidable, but I can still hold on, bring it on!"
When Yun Ran is being stingy, she truly is stingy, but when she sees a tenacious opponent, she would never be sparing.
"Alright, then let's have you see my strongest Attack Talisman!"
Yun Ran directly dispersed the already formed Attack Talisman with one wave of her hand, and then she cut her own palm.
If everyone already found the talisman Yun Ran drew in the air with her finger murderous, then now, this talisman drawn with her blood carried a heavy oppressive force.
It was only slightly better than when Daoist Qingmu and Master Jiechen's Dharma Images descended.
"If you can withstand this talisman, consider it your victory!"
Above Yun Ran's head now hovered an Attack Talisman, dark red in color, and those with lower Dao progress felt their eyes ache just looking at it.
"Go!"
Following Yun Ran's soft command and a push of her palm, the blood-drawn talisman was activated.
Waves of pressure, light then heavy, began to be released, and the attack power was at least a hundred times that of the previous talisman.
Xiang Liu's expression became solemn, but his body and blood were thrillingly excited, and his heart was roaring for more.
For a family known for their prowess in combat, the fiercer the battle, the better the training it provided for them.
Even the sword in his hand throbbed, seemingly ecstatic, as if eager to unite with him in perfect harmony.
Xiang Liu blocked the first wave of attack, but was repelled over ten meters, his tiger's mouth not just numb now - visible cuts and blood could be seen.
This was an extent of dishevelment he had never experienced before.
Then came the second wave, and the third wave...
Xiang Liu's clothes were becoming tattered and torn.
Were it not for Yun Ran holding back with her talisman, who knew how many scars Xiang Liu would have sustained by now.
As for his sword, everything except the blade was shattered.
And this, was just the beginning.
Yun Ran's voice drifted over: "This talisman, at full attack power, lasts for 10 minutes. With the current strength, it can persist for half an hour."
As Yun Ran finished speaking, someone immediately checked the time; from the beginning of the attack until now, it had only been three minutes.
Someone gasped: "My goodness, which means that only one tenth of the energy has been spent, but Xiang Liu's condition looks quite miserable."
No one took their eyes off Xiang Liu, his current appearance looking like a beggar off the streets wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"You think, by the end, Xiang Liu will be left with just his underwear?"
At this moment, even a layperson could tell that Yun Ran's Attack Talisman was being restrained, maintaining accurate control.
While it dealt necessary damage, it didn't spill a drop of blood, though it was slightly embarrassing.
Xiang Liu was struggling, but had no intention of stopping, even though much of his clothing had been shattered, he was completely unbothered about anything else.
Such a good sparring opportunity, he wouldn't miss out on it, but deep down he still felt a slight regret - with his current combat strength, he was unable to withstand a full-strength strike from the talisman.
Before coming to the island, he had actually reached a plateau, just that he had never told anyone.
Frustrated at not finding a breakthrough, he agreed to the family's request to bolster the ranks here and to clear his mind.
Perhaps he could find inspiration from the great contest amongst the contestants.
And just a while ago, he faintly sensed that his plateau might be showing signs of loosening.
And since the Attack Talisman wouldn't take his life, Xiang Liu was even more unwilling to stop, exerting all his strength to resist.
"Bang!"
A nearby table shattered.
"Clang!"
A piece of iron fence was sheared in half.
"Clatter!"
Good heavens, a street lamp was flipped right off.
The more the crowd watched, the more spirited they got; a duel like this was not something you could witness anytime.
Now, the logistics team, even as they watched, felt the pain and kept slapping their thighs: "Aye, whose good man's duel is this destructive! Compensation, there must be compensation!"
Ten minutes passed, and Xiang Liu, just as others had predicted, was left with only his underwear.
If the lights emitted by Yun Ran's Attack Talisman had been bloodthirsty, Xiang Liu would have been thoroughly defeated long ago.
Xiang Liu's gaze was more pure than ever, as if in his world, there was only the barrage of light streaking from all directions.
Daoist Qingmu couldn't help but express: "Such a potent talisman, fortunate that we are not Yun Ran's enemies, otherwise, we would surely be annihilated."
Master Jiechen nodded: "The Xiang Family's lad is also quite lucky, encountering such an opportunity at the right time. His speed now seems much faster than before."
The others also began expressing their views, with various emotive expressions.
Dragon Spirit was the least fond of these people flattering each other, pursed his lips and said: "What's so great about that? Your human young elites are just so-so.
The power of this talisman hasn't been unleashed to even one-tenth of its capability, and the speed is still slow.
If its true power were to be harnessed, you would then understand what it's like when those light beams emit, knowing their start and end points, but having no clue as to the trajectory they take..."
