High in the sky, Cao Li extended her left hand, joining her middle and index fingers while curling the others. Her expression was solemn as she shouted, "Chain Explosion Talisman!"
Buzz! The energy around her fluctuated, and sheets of red energy talismans condensed out of thin air. They were stamped with the red character 'Explode.' In just a moment, a wall of hundreds of talismans appeared before her.
"Go!" Cao Li pointed her left hand at Bart below. The talismans before her flashed with light and shot downward.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Waves of red talismans streaked across the night sky, flying towards Bart, who was focused on the fighter jets.
Bang, bang, bang! The talismans struck Bart's back, and red energy explosions erupted one after another.
The tremendous force caused the unprepared Bart to stagger forward a few steps.
"Who is it!" Bart abruptly turned around and looked behind him, immediately locking onto Cao Li, who had landed a few hundred meters away.
Cao Li looked in horror at the monster, which was completely unharmed after a hundred Explosion Talismans: "Although I expected this, what the heck is it if I can't even break its defense!"
She extended her left hand, and a blue talisman appeared, bearing the character 'Fly.'
The blue talisman transformed into a streak of light and rushed into her body, instantly stopping her previously falling descent.
Suddenly, the flame on the monster's head below began to contract and expand.
'Is it going to spray fireballs again?' She had previously seen satellite footage of this monster using fireballs to destroy fighter jets, and now she was likely facing that same move.
Cao Li quickly reached out, and ten golden talismans appeared before her, each bearing the character 'Shield.'
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The golden talismans layered themselves in front of Cao Li, and the next moment, ten layers of golden shields appeared.
"Die!" Bart below finished charging, and another volley of fireballs shot out.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The fireballs covered the sky where Cao Li was, and the dense projectiles continuously exploded upon hitting the golden shields.
Moments later, the fireballs vanished, leaving only two layers of the golden shields in front of Cao Li.
'Although the individual power of these fireballs isn't great, they make up for it in sheer numbers.' Cao Li's previously tense expression relaxed.
Although she couldn't break the opponent's defense, the opponent seemed unable to do anything to her either.
The person and the monster continued to exchange fireballs and talismans from hundreds of meters away, with explosions constantly echoing throughout the city.
Neither side could defeat the other, but their battle caused even more buildings to catch fire.
In the sky, Jiang Yan watched the two weaklings pecking at each other with a strange expression: "If this keeps up, they could fight until dawn."
Although Cao Li's abilities seemed flashy, with each talisman representing a different power, every ability was too weak and lacked a strong point.
Under the assault of their confrontation, the city below had suffered over eighty percent destruction, leaving only some distant suburban areas unharmed.
"The test is over. Time to go." Jiang Yan watched the battle below and paused just as he was about to instruct Blood Master to take Bart away.
His expression solidified as he looked toward the outskirts of the city. Blood Master and Hei Jin followed his gaze.
On the suburban highway, a stout old man wearing a white tank top and black shorts was slowly approaching on a small green electric scooter.
"An unrecorded Level Six, huh?" Blood Master said, sounding slightly surprised.
Just a glance made him feel his blood circulation speed up; only a Level Six could give him such a feeling.
"It seems our commotion was a bit too big, drawing out those old geezers." Jiang Yan looked at the city burning below and stroked his chin, showing no surprise.
As the center of the world, it was normal for Nanwu Country to have a few hermitic Level Sixes he didn't know about.
"Blood Master, take Bart and leave." Jiang Yan instructed.
"Yes!" Blood Master moved, grabbing the Weaver of Illusions, who had been sleeping nearby, and jumped down.
Swish! The black and red figure turned into a phantom and rushed downward.
If one were to ask who the strongest monster under Jiang Yan's command was, besides Hei Jin, it would definitely be the Blood Master, who had evolved once.
After evolving once, the newly appeared golden eye pattern on his wings was not merely decorative.
Blood Sea Heaven: Connects to the Blood Sea for ten minutes via the golden eye mark on the wings, granting unlimited Blood Sea energy enhancement for ten minutes! (Enters a ten-hour cooldown after use)
Once this ability is activated, combined with Blood Master's high-power output mode, he can directly confront a Level Six within these ten minutes, potentially even killing one.
Bart, who was fighting below, suddenly stopped attacking. Looking at Cao Li, who was harassing him with talismans from afar, he said, "Woman, you are truly lucky. Next time, I, Bart, definitely won't let you off."
A few hundred meters up, Cao Li frowned, unsure of what he was doing.
"This is!" Suddenly, she abruptly looked up. A black and red phantom was shooting toward them from the sky.
The instant she saw the figure, Cao Li's expression drastically changed, and she turned to flee. She recognized it—it was the monster that Jiang Ao had drawn from memory after it severely injured him.
Jiang Ao's strength was among the top tier in the Xuanjian Division; if it could severely injure him, it could kill her.
Blood Master ignored the fleeing Cao Li. He arrived above Bart and made a grabbing motion toward him with one hand.
Buzz! At the same moment, a massive hundred-meter-long hand made of red energy appeared in front of Bart. This hand grabbed Bart as easily as picking up a chick.
"Go!" After finishing this, he tossed the Weaver of Illusions toward Bart.
"Gaa gaa!" The usually quiet Weaver of Illusions opened its mouth and cried out, seemingly protesting Blood Master's rough handling.
The Weaver of Illusions traversed dozens of meters through the air, falling toward the massive red hand.
Just as it was about to crash heavily onto the ground, red energy appeared in the void behind it. This energy spread beneath it, supporting it and allowing the Weaver of Illusions to land gently on the large hand.
As soon as the Weaver of Illusions landed, it immediately activated its ability, covering both the large hand and Bart, simulating the surrounding spatial colors, and entering an invisible state.
Swish! Blood Master flapped his wings and flew toward the sky, holding Bart.
