I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

The terrifying killing intent, in an instant, had reached its peak.

Yu Xi had no time to react, golden light descended with a boom, debris rolled, and the shock wave exploded, flipping all the cultivators within a hundred meters, including her.

Meanwhile, in the center of the scene.

The familiar Spiritual Talisman aura, the extreme danger of death, and indescribable fear made Tuoba Tu’s face change drastically. His late-stage Golden Core cultivation, honed in more than three hundred years from killing, allowed him to make the most correct response in the shortest time.

Spiritual Talisman, formation, magic skills—all were too late to activate and use.

However.

He had one last life-saving item on him, which he had accidentally obtained in a mysterious cave mansion.

This armor, though incomplete, had one characteristic: it was indestructible in the real sense.

Therefore, Tuoba Tu chose to… resist the Spiritual Talisman head-on.

He only had time to tilt his head back, his body parallel to the ground. Then, the surging golden light directly bombarded his chest.

Boom!!

His whole body slammed into the ground, smashing the bluestones on the street to pieces. The shattered stones shot in all directions, violently flipping countless cultivators in the vicinity.

Puff!

Tuoba Tu spurted blood but looked relieved and elated.

As expected, this broken armor was indestructible, and even the third-stage top-grade Taiyi Golden Light Talisman could not shatter it.

However, the power of the talisman strike left his body severely injured and his organs nearly displaced, despite him surviving the attack.

But these were only physical injuries and had not hurt the foundation of his being.

After taking that blow, he had the time for an instant reaction, and in a flip of his hand, a Spiritual Talisman appeared.

This was a third-stage top-grade Spiritual Talisman, even higher in grade than the Taiyi Golden Light Talisman: the Taiyi God Extinguishing Talisman.

Tuoba Tu had gained Immortal Affinity, obtaining a series of Taiyi Spiritual Talismans, including the Taiyi God Extinguishing Talisman, Taiyi Golden Light Talisman, and Taiyi Profound Void Talisman.

The Taiyi God Extinguishing was a top-grade third-stage, while the Taiyi Golden Light and Taiyi Profound Void were just third-stage top-grade.

He had once used the Taiyi Profound Void Talisman to kill a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, then gave the Taiyi Profound Void Talisman to Tuoba Li when he left Daqian. However, he had always kept the only third-stage top-grade Taiyi God Extinguishing Talisman on hand.

Facing a life-threatening crisis, cultivators instinctively display their most potent Spiritual Talismans. Tuoba Li displayed the Taiyi Golden Light Talisman but had his arms chopped off by Han Yi’s Yuan Xi Knife before it was fully activated.

At this moment, Tuoba Tu did the same, displaying an even higher-grade Taiyi God Extinguishing Talisman.

Although it was called ‘God Extinguisher,’ this Spiritual Talisman’s power could not only destroy the Divine Soul but also completely annihilate the Divine Soul after destroying the physical body and the Golden Core with a single strike.

Spirit Light danced on the Spiritual Talisman.

However.

When one move fails, all the following moves fail.

He had just pulled out the Taiyi God Extinguishing Talisman when he saw a flash of purple light, and his right hand was severed at the wrist. The blood had not yet sprayed out when a black sword Qi followed and bombarded his right hand.

His entire body rolled over, his face changing wildly. Still, his gaze had already caught a chill, aimed directly at his Divine Soul.

At the same time, three hundred meters away.

“You dare…”

The voice roared and closed in rapidly but couldn’t stop the sword. Even as the voice rang out, the sword struck faster and more ruthlessly.

Plop.

The Heavenly Cold Sword flashed by, the rolling body was grabbed by a hand, and its owner didn’t stop but retreated along with Tuoba Tu’s rolling trajectory, drawing back.

A flame descended from the sky and struck the spot where the headless body vanished.

The flame burned through the ground and went deep into it. The scorching heat emanated from the burned, deep red soil around the hole.

Han Yi, who had flashed a hundred meters away, had a solemn expression as he stared intently at the middle-aged man who had landed a hundred meters away, right above the entrance to the hole.

With his headless body in his hand, Han Yi had quietly launched a Soul Searching Skill that destroyed Tuoba Tu’s Divine Soul. In the Sea of Consciousness Space, it condensed into a soul shadow.

The soul-searching secret skill was completed in an instant. Then, he put the headless corpse in his Qiankun Ring.

He glanced at Yu Xi, who was more than a hundred meters away with some minor injuries caused by the flying debris, and heaved a slight sigh of relief.

Tuoba Tu’s appearance was too sudden just now.

Moreover, with such a rare opportunity, Han Yi couldn’t inform Yu Xi. He had to act first and didn’t even have enough time to protect Yu Xi before launching the attack.

If this woman were to die, the best he could hope for was a refund.

But if Han Yi were to divide his attention against a late-stage Golden Core cultivator like Tuoba Tu, it would only mean his death.

He didn’t have such a soft heart.

Han Yi’s gaze shifted upward and landed on the middle-aged man descending in the air.

The cry of “You dare” naturally didn’t come from the struggling Tuoba Tu, but from this middle-aged man.

In the images provided by Yu Xi about the Zhang family’s cultivators, as well as the soul shadows of Tuoba Li and Tuoba An, there was the figure of this middle-aged man.

Zhang Family head, Zhang Hai.

Moreover, Zhang Hai was also in the late-stage Golden Core.

This ambush was not for a single late-stage Golden Core cultivator, but…

Two of them.

Feeling resolute, Han Yi couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Luckily..
