Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 226 Invisibility Failure

"Since Fellow Daoist Songyuan is in such a hurry, then bring these items over. I'd like to take a look first," Du Fan said noncommittally, without immediately confirming.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Du, please wait a moment." Song Yuanzi was not too surprised by Du Fan's attitude. He smiled slightly at him and then got up and left.

……

An hour later, Du Fan left the market, put on the invisibility ring, and sped off at full speed towards Langlin Valley.

When he was still half a day's journey from Langlin Valley, he stopped in a rocky outcrop, his face grim, and slowly took off the invisibility ring from his hand and put it into his storage bag.

There were two men standing in front of him.

One of them was wearing a loose green robe, had a fat head and big ears, and a fierce face. His cultivation level was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The other person was a tall, handsome young scholar with fair and delicate skin. He always had a slight smile on his lips, giving him an indescribable feminine charm. His cultivation level was at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage.

For some unknown reason, these two discovered Du Fan, who was hiding, and stood in front of him with greedy expressions, their intentions quite clear.

"How did you two discover me?" Du Fan asked in a cold voice, his gaze icy. At this moment, he was also quite frustrated and puzzled.

With his powerful divine sense, he had already discovered the presence of these two people. However, in order to save travel time and with the concealment effect of the invisibility ring, he ignored them and planned to pass by them.

In fact, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this before; it had always worked before. But this time, he was seen through by two cultivators whose cultivation levels weren't particularly high.

"Hehe... If you were more handsome, I might be able to help you out, but you look so ordinary, I think I'll pass." The effeminate young scholar covered his mouth and chuckled, looking quite flustered, though the voice was unmistakably male.

Upon hearing the other person's words, coupled with their coy demeanor, Du Fan felt a chill run down his spine and a wave of disgust wash over him. He quickly looked away, took a deep breath, and revealed an intense look of revulsion.

"Haha, Han Jiaoniang, this fellow Daoist seems to dislike you a bit." The fierce man in the green robe laughed heartily, his expression quite mocking.

"Hmph! How annoying! Then what are you doing here wasting your breath? Hurry up and kill this person." The effeminate young man snorted and suddenly pointed a delicate finger at the fierce man, saying with great dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing the voice and seeing the action, Du Fan shuddered. Goosebumps erupted all over his body, and even the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Damn it, encountering murder and robbery is bad enough, but why am I so unlucky!"

Du Fan spat fiercely, no longer caring about rational thinking. He immediately patted the storage bag at his waist, and a red light flew out in an instant. It was a talisman soldier. Du Fan now only had five left on him.

Dealing with this young man named Han Jiaoniang, whether by using magic or by directly attacking him with his bare hands, was something Du Fan found unbearable. If he really did that, it would probably leave a shadow in his heart for the rest of his life.

Therefore, killing this person, or using a one-time-use item like a talisman soldier, was the only way to make him barely accept the situation.

Du Fan instantly separated a wisp of his divine sense and entered the talisman weapon. The talisman weapon immediately shone brightly with red light, and with a single flash, it transformed into a crimson fire needle. At the same time, a scorching aura burst forth and quickly permeated the surrounding void.

"Go!" Du Fan shouted, urging his divine sense, and at the same time raised his arm, pointing a finger at Han Jiaoniang in the air.

The crimson fire needle trembled immediately, a buzzing sound arose, and then sparks flew everywhere. In a flash, it appeared directly above Han Jiaoniang's head, almost inches away.

"What the hell is this thing!" Han Jiaoniang's eyes widened in shock upon seeing it, and she immediately showed a look of panic.

However, he did possess the cultivation level of the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, so even if he was at his worst, he shouldn't have been killed in a single encounter by someone using a talisman soldier.

Han Jiaoniang made a hand seal with one hand and her figure suddenly retreated. At the same time, green vines appeared out of thin air in front of her.

Du Fan secretly manipulated the talisman soldier and temporarily ignored Han Jiaoniang. His legs suddenly moved, and the next moment, his figure appeared like a ghost next to the fierce man. Without activating the Copper Iron Forging Arm Technique, he directly threw a punch.

From the moment Du Fan released the fire needle talisman soldiers until now, it had only been a blink of an eye for that fat, big-eared man. Now that he had witnessed everything that was happening before his eyes, he understood that the two of them had probably kicked a hornet's nest.

"Fellow Daoist, please hear me out. I am not familiar with this sissy. This is a misunderstanding, ah..." The green-robed man looked terrified and was about to explain when he suddenly let out a scream.

At this moment, his chest was a bloody mess, bombarded by countless terrifying golden fist shadows. The sound of bones shattering was deafening, and even his internal organs suffered considerable damage in an instant.

The man in the green robe spat out a large cloud of blood mist. After the excruciating pain, his mind went blank for a moment, and soon he felt dizzy, as if he would faint at any moment.

The horror that filled his pupils had reached its peak. The green-robed man took a deep breath, bit his tongue hard, and instantly regained his senses due to the excruciating pain of his severed tongue. He twisted his body abruptly, about to turn and flee.

Just then, the green-robed man suddenly felt a chilling aura coming from the back of his neck. He thought to himself that something was wrong, but before he could investigate with his divine sense, his huge head suddenly flew up, along with a jet of blood, straight into the sky.

The moment the green-robed man's head was severed from his body, two sharp blue blades gleaming with cold light whistled past and struck a boulder. After a series of booming sounds, the boulder instantly shattered into countless fragments that flew into the air.

These two sharp blue blades were none other than the level two water blade technique that Du Fan casually unleashed.

With a single gesture, Du Fan's storage bag on the green-robed man's corpse flashed into his palm. As he put it away, Du Fan swiftly took out a cremation talisman, flicked it in the wind, and burst into flames, instantly turning the corpse on the ground into ashes.

Du Fan turned his gaze and gave a cold look to Han Jiaoniang, who was being chased by the crimson fire needles. His figure suddenly moved and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye. When he reappeared, he was already standing at Han Jiaoniang's retreat route.

Without saying a word, he immediately patted his storage bag, and as he raised his arm, more than ten attack talismans instantly appeared. As various colors of spiritual light flowed, they transformed into colorful Five Elements techniques. Under the guidance of Du Fan's more than ten strands of divine thought, they rushed straight towards Han Jiaoniang and descended with a bang.

Upon seeing this, Han Jiaoniang was utterly terrified. Helpless, she merely paused for a moment before attempting to move sideways in another direction.

Du Fan snorted coldly, stomped one foot on the ground, and suddenly moved, blocking Han Jiaoniang's retreat once again. With a wave of his arm, more than ten talismans appeared.

In an instant, fireballs, golden spears, wooden spikes, and other objects materialized, radiating brilliant light and creating a deafening roar.

Han Jiaoniang was shocked and furious, but she was clearly no longer able to escape.

Left with no other choice, he could only quickly form hand seals with one hand. In an instant, specks of green light appeared and disappeared around him, and soon condensed into a half-zhang-wide emerald green light shield, completely protecting him within it.

Almost the instant the emerald light shield formed, more than twenty attack talismans transformed into various spiritual lights crashed down, instantly causing a series of earth-shaking roars. Clusters of extremely violent energy storms intertwined, completely enveloping the emerald light shield and Han Jiaoniang within it.

In the blink of an eye, the defensive light shield that Han Jiaoniang had cast showed signs of weakness.

Just as a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, preparing to unleash some powerful secret technique, a crimson light suddenly shone in the void near his head, and a crimson fire needle appeared out of thin air, disappearing into his head in a flash.

"Ah..." A piercing scream was heard but then abruptly stopped.

A flash of red light appeared on the other side of its head, revealing the true form of the object, which was none other than the Fire Needle Talisman Weapon, which pierced through Han Jiaoniang's head.

"Boom..." A series of earth-shattering sounds continued, and the various colored spiritual lights transformed from dozens of talismans brought up dust and debris that scattered in all directions.

A few breaths later, a gentle breeze swept by, and where Han Jiaoniang had been standing, a large pit more than ten feet deep had appeared. At this point, Du Fan no longer needed to use the cremation talisman, because Han Jiaoniang's body had already been completely destroyed in the talisman attack.

Du Fan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and used immense willpower to overcome the numerous obstacles in his mind. Only then did he manage to retrieve the storage bag he had deliberately preserved from the deep pit with a single gesture.

The moment the storage bag touched Du Fan's palm, his whole body visibly trembled, and then, as if it were a hot potato, he quickly put it into his storage bag.

Du Fan made a hand seal with one hand, instantly casting the Cloud and Rain Technique. Under the washing of the rain, he rubbed his hands vigorously until he shuddered. Then, he moved and left the place, continuing his rapid journey towards Langlin Valley.
