Chapter 533: Everyone, Get Out!

The instant the thunder talisman ignited, dark clouds immediately gathered thick in the sky, swiftly, as if appearing out of thin air.

Yang Haoran wanted to intercept the fire talisman, but before he could make a move, a thunderous roar immediately erupted from above, and a bolt of lightning fiercely struck down towards him. Facing this situation, Yang Haoran's figure flickered, wanting to dodge the lightning bolt. Although the lightning's speed was swift, his own speed was not slow either, coupled with his faith in his predictions, so in his opinion, successfully evading this lightning strike should be no problem. BOOM! ! ! The result was as Yang Haoran expected: he indeed successfully dodged the lightning bolt. The lightning missed, striking somewhere unknown to him, and he had no time to observe, because the instant he dodged the lightning, a talisman suddenly stuck to his body. This talisman, like the previous thunder talisman, was a Black Talisman, but it was not a thunder talisman; it was a Ghost-Slaying Talisman! Yang Haoran's brows furrowed slightly. Having just barely dodged the lightning, he had originally intended to immediately intercept the fire talisman heading towards the valley, but the appearance of this Ghost-Slaying Talisman forced him to deal with it first, otherwise, he would be very disadvantaged in the ensuing fight. Ghost-Slaying Talismans are used to deal with ghosts. Although Yang Haoran was not a ghost, the Spirit Power within him and the Yin Qi around him had many similarities to ghosts. If the power of this Ghost-Slaying Talisman were to erupt on him, his physical body would naturally not be harmed, but the protective Yin Qi around him would definitely be shattered by this Ghost-Slaying Talisman. Once the protective Yin Qi was breached, and several more lightning bolts fell consecutively from above, then being struck by them would be very painful. So, without further thought, he immediately mobilized the Spirit Power within him to force the Ghost-Slaying Talisman off his body. Under the effect of Spirit Power, the Ghost-Slaying Talisman stuck to his body was shaken off. The instant this Ghost-Slaying Talisman was forced off his body, it ignited, and in the blink of an eye, turned to ash. If he had been even half a beat slower, this Ghost-Slaying Talisman would have burned on his body, and the power of the Ghost-Slaying Talisman would have destroyed the protective Yin Qi on his body's surface.

Although the Ghost-Slaying Talisman on his body had been promptly repelled, due to that momentary delay, he was certainly unable to intercept the fire talisman. As countless fireballs were about to fall into the valley below, a powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted from beneath the valley. This energy formed a curtain of light, erupting from bottom to top, instantly shattering all the fireballs transmuted from the fire talismans! Although the fireballs formed from the fire talismans were numerous, their power was limited, and they were utterly incapable of resisting the suddenly appearing curtain of light. After the fireballs were shattered, the curtain of light formed by this energy did not dissipate; instead, it surged towards Yang Haoran and the two others above. At the same time, thunder rumbled above Yang Haoran, streaks of electrical serpents writhed within the dark clouds, and with a boom, another bolt of lightning crashed down towards his body.

Facing this situation, Yang Haoran didn't hesitate in the slightest; he immediately boosted his speed to the absolute limit, and flashed away into the distance! He could sense that the curtain of light surging up from below was quite powerful; without having opened his Heaven Soul, if he chose to forcefully endure it, his body would certainly be injured. Moreover, the power of the lightning descending from above was likewise not to be underestimated; if he didn't dodge with the fastest possible speed, with attacks coming from both above and below, his physical body would undoubtedly suffer even more damage. Boom! Boom! Two loud bangs. First, the lightning from above struck him, followed by the curtain of light from below striking him. His physical body was torn into fragments by the violent power, but no blood flowed out. These two attacks had only struck the afterimages Yang Haoran left behind, not his true physical body, hence, no blood. The afterimages vanished, the curtain of light and the lightning collided, the lightning disintegrated, and the curtain of light, its power undiminished, continued to surge upwards, crashing into the dark clouds formed by the thunder talisman above. BOOM! ! ! The two collided and exploded; the curtain of light formed by the energy vanished, and the dark clouds formed by the thunder talisman dissipated along with it.

All of this happened in mere instants. From the woman conjuring the fire talisman until now, it seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only a fleeting moment. In the distance, Yang Haoran's gaze first fell upon the old man and the woman, the couple. The old man had sustained no injuries, but the woman's lips were stained with blood. The incoming curtain of light was not only powerful but also covered a considerable area, engulfing all three of them. He had barely managed to dodge it, exerting his full strength without having opened his Heaven Soul. The old man's ability to dodge unscathed was because his strength was inherently not weak. Don't be fooled by the faint power fluctuations he had emitted earlier, but at this very moment, the power fluctuations emanating from him were quite potent. Moreover, the two talismans he had previously used were both Black Talismans, which was sufficient to indicate his identity: he was a powerful Black Talisman Master. Judging from the power fluctuations currently emanating from the old man, it was not surprising that he could dodge the recent curtain of light, because he completely possessed that level of strength. As for the woman in his arms, with her own strength, it was absolutely impossible for her to have dodged the recent curtain of light; the only reason she could have dodged it was certainly because the old man had intervened, otherwise, she would likely be more than just slightly injured at this moment. However, due to the suddenness of the incident, even with the old man's timely intervention, the woman still sustained some minor injuries.

The reason Yang Haoran looked towards the couple at this moment was, firstly, because the old man was currently emitting very strong power fluctuations. Secondly, he wanted to prevent the old man from suddenly attacking him again. After looking at the couple, he found that the couple currently had no attention on him at all, but were instead looking in another direction, their expressions extremely grim. From this situation, the likelihood of the old man suddenly ambushing him was low, so he merely glanced at the couple, and then shifted his gaze elsewhere. The place he looked towards was precisely where the old man and his girlfriend were currently looking. There, a hunched figure stood suspended in mid-air. This person leaned on a crutch, appeared very old, and because he wore a mask, his appearance could not be discerned. Although this person did not announce himself, Yang Haoran knew who he was in his heart. This person should be the objective of his trip: Pharmacist Feng!

Finally seeing Pharmacist Feng in person, Yang Haoran should, by rights, have been very happy, but the truth was quite the opposite; he wasn't that happy at the moment. The reason was simple: just now, he had stood up for Pharmacist Feng, and even went so far as to make enemies of the old man and his companion. Yet, this Pharmacist Feng, on the other hand, had actually treated him as a target of attack just now. If he hadn't run fast enough, he would already be injured at this moment. Although he felt some dissatisfaction towards Pharmacist Feng in his heart, Yang Haoran didn't show the slightest hint of it on his face. After all, he still wanted to gain some benefits from Pharmacist Feng; if he showed his displeasure just because of a bit of dissatisfaction in his heart, then everything he had just done would have been in vain.

His gaze lingered on Pharmacist Feng for a moment, then Yang Haoran shifted his gaze to the area below Pharmacist Feng's body. Inside the valley, no trace of a forbidden formation was found. The valley was still the same valley as before, without the slightest change. Although he couldn't see the forbidden formation, Yang Haoran was now certain of its existence; otherwise, how had this Pharmacist Feng suddenly appeared? The reason they couldn't see it was simply because Pharmacist Feng didn't want them to. Furthermore, Pharmacist Feng had no intention of letting them enter the formation, which was why he had shown himself. "Old man Feng, I thought you'd hide in that formation forever and never come out. Have you finally decided to show yourself now? But your way of receiving guests is quite rude, isn't it! " The old man released the woman from his embrace, his face grim, and spoke in a sarcastic tone. "Politeness? Hmph! You were about to set the valley ablaze, and you still talk to me about politeness? Besides, when exactly did we become friends? " Pharmacist Feng asked coldly. "Heh heh, you're still the same, speaking without a hint of politeness," the old man said, chuckling. "There's nothing to be polite about with you. You're not welcome here. Get out of my valley right now! " Saying this, Pharmacist Feng's gaze shifted to Yang Haoran, and he said coldly, "And that includes you!"
