Chapter 245: Chapter 0213: Not Even a Sound_2 Chapter 245: Chapter 0213: Not Even a Sound_2 “How could this be?” Wang Song suddenly stood up, facing the spectacle in utter shock.

In the Cultivation World, once a talisman is activated, its area of effect is usually fixed. For a defensive talisman such as the Golden Light Body Protection Talisman, once activated, a protective dome is typically established, much like a temporary shelter that guards the people in the immediate vicinity. People can move about within the confines of the shield, but the shield itself remains stationary. However, Qi Tian just moved, and so did the golden shield. This was as if a house suddenly turned into an armor-both provided an equivalent degree of protection, which was simply astounding.

Such talismans did exist, but they were certainly not something a mysterious low-grade talisman could achieve. It at least should be a top-grade or even an extreme-grade. But such high-level talismans were worth a fortune. For Qi Tian, not only did he have to question where he obtained such significant wealth, but also how he managed to find such talismans was incredibly surprising. These talismans are so rare that even established cultivators like Wang Song, Wang Xin, and Pan Yulin might not encounter them many times in their entire lives. Yet, Qi Tian just slapped one onto himself nonchalantly as if it was nothing. Speaking of which, the one he used at the beginning, I wonder if it’s made of the same stuff as the second Golden Light Body Protection Talisman. If so, that is such a waste.

If others were feeling regretful or shocked at seeing Qi Tian marching forward under the golden dome, Pan Yulin, who was confronting Qi Tian, was truly petrified. It’s apparent that Qi Tian, protected by the Golden Light Body Protection Talisman, would be on invincible ground if Pan Yulin couldn’t break it. Qi Tian would only have to wait until Pan Yulin exhausted his True Essence, then he could just lie down and still win the fight.

But now Qi Tian doesn’t want to win just by lying down; he aims to reduce the distance between them under the protection of his golden shield. Pan Yulin didn’t even dare to imagine what consequences might follow once Qi Tian managed to get within striking range.

Determination flashed across Pan Yulin’s face; he was unwilling to lose, even if it was just a potentiality for now. With a pat on his waist, a new rod appeared in his hand.

“Whoa, two rods? How mighty of Master Pan, attacking with both hands. Knock Qi Tian down!” shouted the young Marquis Zhang Xiankun.

Pan Yulin blushed. He certainly didn’t have such a skill; if he did, he wouldn’t have to condescend to serve in Marquis Jingguo Manor. He swiftly swapped the new rod into his right hand while keeping the original one.

The new rod was longer and thicker than the previous one, engraved with more complex and intricate runes. From this, it’s evident that this rod was nothing ordinary. It was actually a middle-grade Human Grade Spirit Treasure Level rod, worth its weight in gold, and its power was immense. It was a cherished item that Pan Yulin had obtained very hard. It was an item he was reluctant to show off, and would only do it now out of sheer necessity.

Pan Yulin lifted the new rod high, and a snap of his thoughts rapidly drained a large portion of the True Essence in his Qi Sea. Soon, the rod began to shine. The gleaming light from the rod made Pan Yulin’s face fierce. “Qi Tian, you asked for this. Die for me!”

Suddenly, a dense shower of black spots appeared in the sky. These black spots quickly expanded and turned red, and in the blink of an eye, a dense meteor shower was formed in mid-air.

Pan Yulin pointed his rod at Qi Tian. The burning meteors rushed towards Qi Tian like an angry swarm of bees.

Instinctively, Qi Tian felt a tinge of foreboding, but there was also a sudden eagerness welling up from deep within his heart. His eyes were all ablaze, staring hard at the incoming meteors. These meteors were composed of sprit Qi in the space, guided by Pan Yulin’s True Essence, in other words, pure energy. This energy would serve as perfect fuel for his Heavenly Dao Engine. Sadly, with so many people around, Qi Tian must suppress his urge to devour. Instead, he activated the Galloping Skill of his Wuhang Ring at once.

In an instant, Qi Tian dashed towards Pan Yulin like a bullet fired from a gun, charging at him head-on under the golden shield.

The distance between Qi Tian and Pan Yulin was very close, no more than ten meters. Yet, with the Galloping Skill that could speed up to fifty meters per second, Pan Yulin had previously tricked Qi Tian into passively taking hits. As a result, when Qi Tian suddenly sped up, he was not prepared to react in time.

In almost the blink of an eye, Qi Tian had rushed to Pan Yulin’s vicinity, throwing a punch that hit hard against Pan Yulin’s body. Immediately, Pan Yulin was sent flying and he spat blood into the air.

Since Qi Tian had already decided to act, he didn’t plan to hold back. Taking advantage of his ultra-high speed granted by his Galloping Skill, he followed after Pan Yulin, his hands constantly throwing punches one after another.

Pan Yulin was like a punching bag, taking several punches in succession, his expression showing extreme pain.

After a few punches, Qi Tian noticed something was wrong. Pan Yulin was in great pain, but he didn’t show any signs of being taken down. Qi Tian realized something was off and quickly retreated, but it was already too late.

“Did you find out? It’s too late now, though.” Pan Yulin flicked his hand and released a paper bag. The bag exploded in an instant, and countless flying bugs rushed out from it. Like mosquitoes that had detected human presence, they swarmed towards Qi Tian who was within arm’s reach.

Qi Tian was already moving quickly, but these flying insects were faster. They even bypassed the golden shield protecting him and landed on Qi Tian’s body.

These flying insects had the ability to burrow into flesh. Upon landing on Qi Tian, they started to drill into his exposed skin. Their speed was incredibly fast and they seemed to have some special technique against a cultivator’s skin. Even though Qi Tian had practiced the Tiger Golden Body Skills, which protected his skin from any weapons, it was of no defense against these insects. They easily burrowed into his body.

“Ha ha, Qi Tian, let’s see if you’re finished this time.” Pan Yulin laughed triumphantly, “Don’t take everyone else as fools. Did you think no one else would know your bottom line? It’s no secret that you have extraordinary speed and a strong physical constitution. That’s why, after consulting with the young Marquis, we set this trap for you. I have to admit, I’ve spent a significant amount to get these Soul Devouring Insects. The stronger the cultivator, the more they like to devour. Seeing how they fearlessly swarmed at you, I knew I bet right. Watch and behold, everyone. In less than an hour, Qi Tian will become a bag of bones. His flesh and blood will all become food for the Soul Devouring Insects.”

At this moment, Qi Tian let out a heart-wrenching scream. The Soul Devouring insects had started consuming his flesh. Hundreds and thousands of them eating away at his flesh all at once. The pain was indescribably, even more unbearable than being cut with a thousand blades.

Qi Tian was known for his high tolerance for pain, but this time, it was getting a bit unbearable. However, Qi Tian did not panic or fall into despair, he tried to connect with the Heavenly Dao Engine, to get it started.

Sure enough, the Heavenly Dao Engine didn’t let Qi Tian down. The Transporting Whirlwind flew out of the Heavenly Dao Engine and spiralled down Qi Tian’s meridians, spiralling towards the Soul Devouring Insects that had invaded his body. These bugs, which usually struck fear in the hearts of cultivators, were easily swept up by the Transporting Whirlwind without a chance to resist. They were then rapidly consumed by the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Despite there being hundreds and thousands of Soul Devouring Insects, they seemed insignificant in the face of the Heavenly Dao Engine. They were gobbled up without even a sound.
