"Yu Ye, catch this." As soon as Zhang Xiaoqiang's voice fell from the stands, the willow branch in his hand was thrown directly at Yu Daochen below.
Yu Daochen grinned, slowly raised his hand, and thought, "Only by obtaining a weapon and using the Fire Separation Slash can I deal with these natal talismans. No matter how many come, I'll cleave them all."
The force with which Zhang Xiaoqiang threw the willow branch was just right, landing perfectly in Yu Daochen's raised hand.
Yu Daochen grabbed the willow branch thrown by Zhang Xiaoqiang, grinned, and raised his other hand. Just as he was about to draw a weapon and chant a spell to cast a technique, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked closely.
A willow branch?
Yu Daochen was utterly bewildered and started to curse.
"Damn it!!"
"What kind of ghostly weapon is this? At least give me a common weapon!"
Before Yu Daochen could finish his curse, Fen Yue's black talismans had already been shot out.
Yu Daochen had no choice but to retreat, dodging the black talismans shot by Fen Yue, muttering, "Qiangzi, you bastard, you're not sent by Fen Yue to screw me over, are you? How could you throw a willow branch?"
From the stands, Zhang Xiaoqiang, seeing Yu Daochen only defending, anxiously shouted, "Yu Ye, what's going on? Counterattack with the Fire Separation Slash!"
Beside him, Da Hu and Su Lai looked at the anxious Zhang Xiaoqiang with speechless expressions.
Da Hu looked at Su Lai, who was equally speechless, and asked, "Is this guy really Yu Ye's good brother?"
Su Lai shook his head, "He might be a spy sent by Fen Yue. We should be on guard."
Da Hu nodded in agreement, "Brother Su's words are reasonable."
Inside the arena, Yu Daochen was already panting after dodging three black talismans.
Fen Yue seized the opportunity and shot out the remaining two black talismans.
Seeing this, Yu Daochen could only try his best. He raised the willow branch in his hand, his other hand's finger traced across the willow branch, and he chanted, "Five Elements Technique, Fire Separation Slash."
As soon as Yu Daochen finished speaking, a fierce blaze ignited on the willow branch in his hand.
Yu Daochen swung it towards the two incoming black talismans.
The flames on the willow branch transformed into a fiery torrent, surging towards the two black talismans.
*Bang!!*
The moment the fiery torrent and the talismans collided, they exploded, and a powerful wave of energy spread outwards.
Yu Daochen and Fen Yue inside the arena were both forced back.
Yu Daochen looked at the willow branch in his hand, which had already turned to charcoal and dispersed into the air, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, this willow branch could withstand one Fire Separation Slash."
From the stands, Ge Peiwen, seeing Fen Yue use another five natal talismans, almost fainted from anxiety and cursed.
"This is a sin, a sin!"
Natal talismans were meant to be used to catch the enemy off guard when they were exhausted, to deliver a decisive blow.
But Fen Yue was squandering them like ordinary talismans. Although their power was immense, it was easy for Yu Daochen to dodge them or blast them away with his own techniques.
On another side of the stands, Hao Tianquan, looking at the pitted and scarred arena below, laughed heartily, "Hoo, it seems the Fu Men's reserves are being shot out like they're free! The future sect leader of Fu Men has quite the spending spree. I haven't seen such a spectacular scene in years."
Tang Junsheng beside him nodded in agreement, "If all of Fu Men's natal talismans are wasted in this competition, Fu Men might regress rather than advance in the next five years."
"But Brother Hao, aren't you concerned about the arena? If a few more natal talismans are used, your arena might need a complete renovation."
Hao Tianquan waved his hand, laughing heartily, "It's nothing, nothing. If this kid is willing, I wouldn't mind leveling this arena to the ground. After all, trading an arena for all of Fu Men's disciples' natal talismans is a sure win-win deal."
Tang Junsheng also burst into laughter upon hearing this, "If Brother Hao doesn't mind, I, Tang, am willing to contribute half the cost to rebuild this arena."
Although using all the natal talismans of Fu Men's disciples wouldn't bring them much benefit, it was certain that it wouldn't be detrimental.
In the next five years, Fu Men would likely be unable to make any significant moves.
Beside them, Cui Yiling looked at the two grown men laughing lewdly with a look of disdain.
"But speaking of which, using so many natal talismans, even a top ten expert on the Heaven Ranking might not be able to withstand it. But that's assuming they hit the opponent, not used recklessly like this when the opponent is prepared."
Inside the arena, Fen Yue, seeing Yu Daochen block the black talismans with the Fire Separation Slash, grinned and said, "Come on, let's see who outlasts whom."
As soon as Fen Yue finished speaking, he took out two more black talismans and shot them out.
Yu Daochen's face showed a wry smile, and he cursed inwardly.
"Has this guy gone mad?"
Seeing this, Yu Daochen formed a hand seal, took a deep breath, and exhaled, "Flame Swallowing Technique."
A stream of flames erupted from Yu Daochen's mouth, surging towards the two black talismans.
*Bang!*
Another explosion. The two black talismans were blocked by the flames spewed from Yu Daochen's mouth.
Fen Yue's expression turned ferocious upon seeing this, "I want to see how many you can block."
As Fen Yue spoke, he took out five more black talismans.
Yu Daochen's expression changed slightly. It seemed he had to use the Samsara Blood Tears.
Just as Yu Daochen was preparing to use his Nine Lives Samsara Eyes, he heard an irritating voice from the stands.
"Yu Ye, catch this."
