Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 561 Pan Ning Severely Injured

As for passing on the magic weapon to future generations, that would not be a wise move.

Only a True Person at the Golden Core Realm can fully unleash the power of a magic weapon; cultivators below the Golden Core Realm may not be able to use magic weapons with the same power as those using top-grade magic artifacts.

Using a magic weapon even once can deplete one's true essence, making it a losing proposition.

Therefore, for a cultivator below the Golden Core realm to possess a talisman or treasure is no different from a child carrying gold in the market; even a commoner who possesses a treasure is guilty of a crime.

So when the man in black began to suspect that Wu Ming might have a talisman, an undisguised look of greed unconsciously appeared on his face!

You should know that this talisman is famously powerful; its immense strength is known to everyone in the cultivation world.

However, at the same time, this talisman is an extremely rare and precious existence.

More importantly, its price is outrageously high, making it unaffordable for most people.

Now that such a precious talisman is within reach, how could the man in black possibly let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Therefore, he made up his mind that he must get his hands on the talisman treasure in Wu Ming's hands!

Given this, he certainly won't attack the opponent with the same full force as before.

If Wu Ming accidentally runs out of uses of the talisman in his hand, it would be a great loss.

Upon realizing the consequences, the man in black immediately changed his strategy and stopped launching a full-scale attack.

Just then, the man in black was seen making hand seals and chanting incantations.

Suddenly, several arrows filled with dense demonic energy appeared out of thin air and sped toward Wu Ming at an astonishing speed!

The man in black's sudden attack surprised Wu Ming: "Huh? Strange, why didn't this guy press his advantage?" Wu Ming wondered to himself.

Although he was puzzled as to why the enemy had stopped using magical weapons to attack him, Wu Ming felt a little relieved.

After all, this way, there's no need to use their trump cards again, which is a good thing.

However, when his gaze fell upon the three rapidly approaching demonic arrows, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel annoyed.

It's true that he possesses a large number of Flame Talismans, but if he continues to expend them like this, they will likely be exhausted in no time.

Faced with the predicament, Wu Ming couldn't think of any better way to deal with it, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and throw the few Flame Talismans he was holding tightly out of his hand.

As soon as these Flame Talismans left their hands, they instantly transformed into giant firebirds enveloped in raging flames, swooping headlong towards the three demonic arrows without hesitation.

Immediately following, a series of earth-shattering explosions rang out as the flock of firebirds chose the most tragic and resolute way to perish together with the demonic arrow.

They all self-destructed, using the terrifying energy generated by their explosions to counteract the threat posed by the demonic arrows.

When the demonic arrows finally lost their power under the suicidal onslaught of the Flaming Bird, the Azure Sky Sword, which had been lying in wait, shot out like lightning and easily shattered all three demonic arrows into pieces.

Although the danger Wu Ming faced has dissipated, Pan Ning unfortunately became a victim of this turn of events.

Just as the arrow, emanating demonic energy, shot towards Wu Ming with lightning speed, the jet-black flying knife held tightly in the black-clad man's hand, like a ghost, swiftly and unexpectedly attacked Pan Ning beside him!

Pan Ning was already fully aware of the terrifying power contained in this throwing knife, and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

In an instant, he unhesitatingly activated his true essence, summoned his magical flying sword, and swiftly unleashed an incomparably fierce sword technique, slashing fiercely at the flying knife that was rapidly approaching him!

However, that alone is far from enough.

Almost simultaneously, Pan Ning immediately activated his defensive measures.

A protective artifact shimmering with light appeared in response, like an indestructible shield, completely enveloping him and making him impenetrable.

However, the moment Pan Ning's flying sword touched the black-clad man's ink-black flying knife magic weapon, Pan Ning knew that his flying sword could not withstand it.

"As expected of a Pseudo-Core Stage cultivator, I am still far behind!"

Pan Ning thought to himself.

When he thought about how Chu Nan had managed to fight the man in black to a standstill, Pan Ning realized just how vast the gap was between him and Chu Nan.

Sure enough, within a few breaths, his flying sword had been cut down by the black-clad man's throwing knife and was knocked aside.

His carefully crafted magical artifact was damaged, and he was naturally also seriously injured, with a few drops of bright red blood involuntarily spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the defensive magic artifact on his body successfully withstood the extremely powerful attack launched by the man in black!

However, Pan Ning knew perfectly well that if the man in black launched another attack, he would be absolutely unable to withstand the fierce assault with his current strength.

Therefore, the only hope right now is that Chu Nan, who is trapped by the Corrupting Heart Curse, will break free of his cocoon.

Otherwise, today we might truly be living up to the old saying, "Man is the butcher, and I am the fish."

Sure enough, when he saw that Pan Ning had miraculously withstood his full-force attack, he was amazed.

The man in black showed no sign of pausing. He quickly activated the flying knife magic weapon in his hand and launched it again. Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, it rushed straight toward Pan Ning with unparalleled power!

Meanwhile, Wu Ming was also busy, making hand gestures and chanting incantations.

In a short while, he summoned more than ten arrows filled with demonic energy and shot them toward Wu Ming.

However, Pan Ning was indeed unable to withstand this round of attacks.

Faced with the man in black's fierce offensive, he tried his best to use all his skills, but he still could not withstand the opponent's fierce attack.

Finally, the dark flying knife, gleaming with a cold light, mercilessly pierced through his chest.

In an instant, blood gushed out, like an uncontrollable flood.

Pan Ning let out a painful, piercing scream, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Wu Ming, who was struggling to defend himself from the attack by the men in black, witnessed this scene and felt a surge of anxiety. He couldn't help but shout: "Senior brother!"

His voice was filled with worry.

Although Pan Ning was seriously injured, he had not lost consciousness.

Therefore, upon hearing Wu Ming's cry, he tightly clutched the bleeding wound on his chest, looked at Wu Ming, and said in a weak and urgent tone:

"Junior brother, things have developed to this point, and it would be futile for us to continue to hold on."

Take my advice: "As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!"

Before he could finish speaking, a violent cough came from his mouth, accompanied by a smear of bright red blood.
