Lin Haoming watched Lin Feiyang suddenly leap away from him, feeling puzzled. Then he noticed that some of the stones around him were moving on their own.
Upon seeing this, Lin Haoming's expression changed drastically.
Suddenly feeling the large rock beneath him also shaking, he was horrified and immediately flew up.
But just as he took flight, some smaller stones floated above his head and hurled directly at him.
"Damn it!" At this point, Lin Haoming knew he had fallen into an ambush.
He immediately summoned his silver steel shield and simultaneously slapped a stone armor talisman onto his body before landing on the ground.
After regaining his footing, Lin Haoming saw that the surrounding scenery had drastically changed. All he could see were constantly moving boulders; he was clearly trapped deep within a stone formation.
"Lin Feiyang, you dare to frame me! You've got some nerve!" Lin Haoming shouted, unable to find Lin Feiyang.
After Lin Haoming's voice faded, a voice that surprised him came: "Lin Haoming, whether others are bold or not is none of your business. Now, think about what you're going to do."
Hearing this voice, Lin Haoming trembled, exclaiming incredulously, "You're Shao Youhe?"
"Lin Haoming, your memory is good. Now you know who wanted you dead, right?" Shao Youhe said with a venomous voice.
Seeing her admit it, Lin Haoming finally understood, then sneered, "Shao Youhe, I fought you according to the sect rules. I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded!"
"Narrow-minded? If it weren't for Xie Ruolan killing Senior Yao, I wouldn't be in this state. It's all your fault, so you must die!" Hearing Lin Haoming accuse her, Shao Youhe's voice became extremely agitated.
Just as she uttered the final word, "die," Lin Haoming suddenly slapped his storage bag, then tossed out a talisman. The talisman transformed into a golden light in mid-air, which then condensed into a long golden halberd, thrusting towards a certain direction.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the golden halberd struck a large rock, shattering it into pieces. However, the rocks swirling around Lin Haoming didn't stop.
"Lin Haoming, I knew you were treacherous! Trying to locate me by my voice? Dream on! You'll die today!"
Shao Youhe shrieked, then seemed to activate an array, sending countless boulders flying towards Lin Haoming. It looked like she was completely trying to kill him.
After realizing his golden halberd attack had failed, Lin Haoming knew his opponent would retaliate in anger. While casually striking, he simultaneously clutched the Xuanjing Bead talisman and popped a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth.
At least half of his magical power surged into the talisman, which, in his hand, shimmered and transformed into a glittering golden bead.
Ignoring the boulders hurtling towards him from all directions, Lin Haoming unleashed the Xuanjing Bead with all his might.
The Xuanjing Bead shot forth like a blazing sun, shattering anything in its path with a series of explosions, sending debris and fragments flying everywhere.
Seeing the power of the Xuanjing Bead, Lin Haoming sheathed his silver steel shield and prepared to fly away along the path it had carved. But just as he moved, several balls of flame shot out from the flying rocks, hurtling towards him.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the flames, the first few struck him directly.
Lin Haoming was sent flying back and forth. If it weren't for the Stone Armor Talisman, he would likely have been killed instantly.
Fortunately, the Stone Armor Talisman was quite powerful; he withstood several hits and then summoned the Heavenly Umbrella to block the remaining flames.
Although he seemed to have recovered for a moment, Lin Haoming knew very well that the situation was unfavorable. Even with his talismanic treasures, he hadn't managed to break through the formation.
Lin Haoming even began to doubt whether this formation was truly set up by a Qi Refining stage cultivator.
Although his heart was filled with trepidation, Lin Haoming had to forcefully suppress his tension. He crushed the Spirit Recovery Pill in his mouth and swallowed it. As the pill's medicinal power quickly dissipated, the mana consumed by activating the talismanic treasures rapidly recovered.
At the same time, more and more fireballs seemed to appear around him, like stars in the sky, all converging on Lin Haoming.
Lin Haoming immediately activated the Colorful Light Talisman, the one whose power he hadn't exhausted during his previous battle with Shao Youhe, which once again protected him. At the same time, Lin Haoming gritted his teeth and took out another talisman, the Heaven-Burning Mirror.
Lin Haoming was the kind of person who would never hesitate once he had a goal. After taking out the talisman, he rapidly poured all his magical power into it. Even so, Lin Haoming found that this talisman was bottomless; almost half of his spiritual power was instantly drained, yet the talisman showed little reaction.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming didn't care about anything else. He immediately swallowed a handful of Spirit Recovery Pills and simultaneously grabbed a high-grade spirit stone to replenish his magical power.
Even so, when he realized his magical power was almost completely drained, the talisman barely managed to emit a light.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming knew that his magical power was probably insufficient to activate the talisman. But now, in this life-or-death situation, failure would mean not only losing the talisman but also his own life.
Under these circumstances, Lin Haoming went all out. He pounded his chest several times, then spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the talisman.
After the blood essence was absorbed into the talisman, its light intensified significantly. However, it seemed that this was all; the talisman's full activation was still lacking.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming immediately spat out another mouthful of blood essence.
This time, after spitting out the blood essence, Lin Haoming's face turned pale, and even his breathing became somewhat unstable. Clearly, spitting out blood essence repeatedly had taken a toll on him.
Fortunately, this time the talisman absorbed Lin Haoming's blood essence, and immediately shone brightly. Simultaneously, a mirror, seemingly only the size of a palm, finally materialized within the light.
Lin Haoming pointed at it, and the mirror flew into the air. Then, under a flash of light, a blurry object began to split on its own.
From one to two, two to four, four to eight… in the blink of an eye, at least several hundred identical mirrors appeared within Lin Haoming's sight. Each mirror automatically took on a specific position, seemingly forming a magic array.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming knew that this Heaven-Burning Mirror was indeed extraordinary.
