Chapter 293: Chapter 292: Ghost Talisman (Fifth Update)

If not for Ji Bei’s moment of mercy back then, recognizing Lin Bai’s talent in Sword Art and accepting him into the sect, perhaps Vast Ocean would still be unable to stand in Chaoyang Palace today.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Bai Huatian exchanged smiles.

Especially Bai Xiaoxiao, he was particularly elated at the moment. Seeing Lin Bai gain a significant advantage, Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to be even happier than Lin Bai himself.

Yi Han seemed to be drenched in blood as he slowly rose from the edge of the Martial Arts Stage, his gaze fixed on Lin Bai as he laughed, "Hahaha, Lin Bai, do you think I’ve lost already?"

"I’ll tell you, the real highlight is about to begin," he added cryptically.

Between the opening and closing of Lin Bai’s eyes, a hint of astonishment flickered in his gaze.

Could it be that Yi Han still had a hidden trump card?

With the revelation of the third form of the Sea Overlapping Waves Palm, Lin Bai had already guessed that it must be Yi Han’s final trump card.

Having heard what Yi Han had said, Lin Bai couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Right then, Yi Han pulled out a talisman from his storage bag right in front of Lin Bai.

On the talisman, a figure was drawn that seemed to be both a smiling and a crying ghost face.

This ghost face felt as if it was about to devour the souls of anyone who met its gaze at that moment.

Murong Qi, seeing that Yi Han had finally brought out the Ghost Talisman, shook his head slightly. But then he broke into a smile.

Because Murong Qi knew that with the appearance of the Ghost Talisman, Yi Han couldn’t lose.

"That talisman... It’s a Ghost Talisman!"

"It’s really a Ghost Talisman?"

Among the shocked voices were largely from the civilian officials who were well-read and aware of many secrets of the Martial World.

Nonetheless, some military geniuses, princes, and kings, along with members of the Spirit Sword Sect and the Fire Palace, had no idea what this Ghost Talisman was.

Chen Gong, though unaware of what a Ghost Talisman was, also sensed that the talisman was extraordinary and warned Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, be careful. This thing is not a good object."

Lin Bai nodded deeply. He also felt the horror of the talisman when he saw it.

Especially the power emanating from the talisman, which gave Lin Bai a chilling feeling.

The Ghost Talisman was the epitome of talisman production.

Producing talismans was as tough as Alchemy.

This Ghost Talisman was considered a superior choice among the low-level talismans. The production process was incredibly difficult, the success ratio being one in ten thousand talismans being usable, and that was considered the limit.

In order to produce a Ghost Talisman, one firstly needed to master the art of soul summoning, gathering remnant souls from the wilderness or battlefield ruins, and putting them into the prepared talismans.

Then, through the use of secret skills, the talisman was activated, making the remnant souls within the talisman constantly fight and devour each other until only one remnant soul was left in the talisman, marking the completion of the production.

Once the Ghost Talisman was used, the evil spirit would possess the user, unleashing a power several times that of the same level, which was absolutely horrifying.

"Hahahaha."

Yi Han fixed his gaze on Lin Bai, letting out a manic laugh as he stuck the Ghost Talisman onto his chest.

Instantly, the Ghost Talisman melted into his skin and sank under the surface, integrating into his flesh and blood.

Whoosh—

Roar—

The moment the Ghost Talisman melted into Yi Han’s flesh and blood, a sweep of a dark wind enveloped the Martial Arts Stage.

Yi Han looked up to the sky and let out a lengthy howl.

However, the sound he made was no longer a human voice, it was a beast-like roar, terribly unpleasant and harsh to the ear.

"Lin Bai! I want your life!"

Yi Han’s eyes were bloodshot, and his body was surrounded by a black wind. He glared at Lin Bai, let out a roar, and sprayed drool all over. At this moment, he looked less like a person and more like a raging beast.

Roar!

An explosive power surged, and Yi Han charged towards Lin Bai, hurling a punch right at Lin Bai’s face.

Lin Bai’s face paled with shock. He released his Sword Skill, Sky-Breaking Rainbow.

"Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

Lin Bai slashed his sword downward in a fierce chop.

Then a shockingly surprising scene unfolded.

Such a terrifying sword from Lin Bai was destroyed by a simple punch from Yi Han, followed by a heavy punch that struck directly onto Lin Bai’s chest.

A crisp "crack!" sound rang out, shattering three of Lin Bai’s ribs and sending him flying a hundred meters away, his blood splattering into the sky.

Lin Bai was injured!

"Lin Bai’s impressive strength was actually injured by a single punch."

"My god, the power of this punch must have already reached the Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer."

Both the civil and military officials shouted in surprise.

"Lin Bai!" Bai Xiaoxiao called out in concern, her beautiful face filled with worry.

Chen Gong, Lu Yuan, Zhang Lingdao were all stunned by this punch.

Lin Bai rolled on the ground with the powerful impact still hitting him.

Lin Bai slammed the Qingge Sword into the ground, dragging himself back another ten meters before he managed to stabilize himself.

Upon stabilizing himself and looking up at Yi Han, shock was evident in Lin Bai’s eyes, he murmured, "Such immense power, comparable to the Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer."

"What kind of object is this Ghost Talisman, to be so potent?"

Lin Bai’s expression was solemn.

"Lin Bai, welcome death!" Yi Han charged forward with a fierce punch that seemed to shake the heavens.

Lin Bai was forced to dodge quickly.

This punch landed on the martial arts stage, smashing a massive hole in the ground.

"The wind blows and the sea sways!"

After dodging the punch, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with killing intent, his sword slashing out a countless, meteor-like sword light that crashed into Yi Han’s body.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! -

There was a continuous loud bang.

But even Lin Bai’s powerful move couldn’t break through Yi Han’s defense.

"Could the Ghost Talisman have actually enhanced his physical strength? Is it a talisman capable of enhancing all aspects?" Lin Bai exclaimed after avoiding a punch.

The Ghost Talisman allowed Yi Han’s strength, speed, and physical strength to greatly increase.

At this moment, Yi Han’s speed, strength, and physical constitution were comparable to the Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer.

Despite exchanging hundreds of blows, Lin Bai hadn’t managed to defeat Yi Han. On the contrary, he was being chased around by Yi Han, appearing rather defeated.

Everyone was shocked at this scene.

Such precious items as the Ghost Talisman were priceless. It was truly admirable for Yi Han to be able to bring it out.

"Wind Rise!"

"Wind Silence!"

"The wind blows and the sea sways!"

"Shocking Storm!"

"Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

Powerful sword skills were unleashed on Yi Han from Lin Bai’s hand.

But all these attacks seemed to sink into the sea and could not hurt the core of Yi Han.

It was as if Yi Han was now an indestructible body.

"Hahaha! Lin Bai, have you finished attacking?"

"Then it’s my turn."

"Sea Overlapping Waves Palm, Second Form, Boundless Ocean!"

His fist, capable of shaking the heavens, blasted out, and the boundless violent force caused the martial arts stage to become riddled with cracks.

The wild momentum swept the whole field, forcing all the warriors on both sides to pale, continuously retreating.
