Chapter 337: Chapter 197: Successfully Crossing the Tribulation, Gaining a Seventh-Grade Opportunity_2
"Impossible, what kind of defense technique is this, able to withstand the combined attack of us three Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
The gray-robed Foundation Establishment cultivators and others’ expressions changed drastically, finding it unbelievable.
Originally, they were full of confidence, believing that killing the Foundation Establishment cultivator of Fire Copper Island was just a matter of reaching out.
Who would have thought that the opponent merely cast a defense technique and effortlessly blocked their spiritual artifact attack, not only unharmed but completely unscathed.
If it weren’t for witnessing it personally, who would believe such an absurd thing?
But now they had no time to ponder what kind of technique this was.
Because an intense cold burst from Jiang Fan’s body.
Life Talisman—Ice Talisman!
This was also the latest successfully inscribed Life Talisman Ice Talisman by Jiang Fan.
The current skill level had been raised to Mastery Level.
Although it consumed quite a bit of Luck Points, it was evidently worth it.
The Mastery Level Ice Talisman was now ready for actual combat.
Boom~~
The Ice Talisman vibrated, invoking the cold currents of the world, transforming into white cold air, the temperature around plummeting sharply, as if stepping into a world of ice and snow.
A wave of white cold air rapidly spread at an unbelievable speed.
Along the way, whether it was the ground, stone, weeds, trees, etc., all instantly froze, turning into a thick layer of ice.
In just a moment, the white cold air covered the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Damn it."
The gray-robed cultivators’ faces changed drastically, sensing an imminent fatal crisis.
The white cold air from the Ice Talisman contained terrifying power.
If touched, they feared certain death.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
In an instant, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators scrambled to flee this place, trying to dodge the attack.
Unfortunately, they underestimated Jiang Fan’s casting speed.
Once a Life Talisman formed, its activation speed was instantaneous.
If it were other technique cultivators, activating a technique might take some time.
But Life Talisman was different, capable of instant activation like innate divine techniques.
So the enemies had no time to react.
By the time they realized, it was already too late.
Boom~~~
A wave of white cold air swept in, instantly enveloping the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The next second, their bodies were covered by a thick layer of ice.
They turned into ice sculptures, frozen solid.
The terrifying cold penetrated their defensive magic robes, directly reaching their bodies.
Easily sapped away their vitality.
In just a moment, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators were frozen to death.
Before dying, their eyes were wide open, seemingly unable to believe they died just like that.
"The Ice Talisman is indeed formidable."
Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt very satisfied with the power of the Ice Talisman.
Clearly, upon raising its skill level to Mastery Level, its power increased tremendously.
Merely triggering the Ice Talisman’s power could release terrifying cold air and easily freeze the enemy, seizing their life.
Moreover, it was a large-scale attack.
Even when facing an enemy siege, he was utterly unafraid.
Once the Ice Talisman’s power was unleashed, it could cover a radius of one or two kilometers.
Thus freezing the entire area.
Indeed, it was so.
The surrounding area was already covered in ice, the ground layered with thick white ice, emitting bone-piercing cold, causing involuntary shivers, trembling uncontrollably.
Boom~~
At this moment, a piece of information suddenly entered deep into Jiang Fan’s consciousness sea: "Encountered Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators, fiercely resisting, you finally slayed the three Tribulation Cultivators, barely surviving, you gained thirty thousand Luck Points, and a Seventh-Grade Opportunity."
Perceiving this information, Jiang Fan felt very satisfied.
He not only acquired these three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators’ storage bags, securing a large amount of treasures from them.
He also obtained a Seventh-Grade Opportunity and a large number of Luck Points.
Truly a bountiful harvest, achieving two objectives in one stroke.
"This Seventh-Grade Opportunity will be available in a few days?"
"Meaning, it might come from the rewards of Red Whale Island?"
"It seems the battle of Red Whale Island shouldn’t be a problem."
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, perceiving this information, promptly grasping some details in the intel.
Obviously, if Red Whale Island were destroyed, he couldn’t receive its rewards.
So for now, there’s no need to worry about Red Whale Island’s ruin, thus becoming displaced.
Additionally, he sensed that Red Whale Daoist’s cultivation was indeed unfathomable.
Even though it appeared Lifespan was about to deplete, it was not to be underestimated.
Whoosh!
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan took away the storage bags from the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, then instructed a few Qi Cultivation Stage stewards from Fire Copper Island to come and move the three Foundation Establishment corpses.
He didn’t intend to destroy the bodies of these three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
After all, this was his credit; if the bodies were destroyed, how would he claim his merit?
Moreover, this act could significantly boost the confidence of Fire Copper Island cultivators, making them feel secure.
This would reduce cases of fleeing.
...
It didn’t take long for the news of Jiang Fan slaying three alien Foundation Establishment cultivators to spread quickly across Fire Copper Island, shocking the many cultivators up and down the island.
This also caught the attention of many cultivators.
"Did you hear? Last night, three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators snuck onto Fire Copper Island and were discovered by the Lord Island Master. After a fierce battle, the Lord Island Master effortlessly killed these three Tribulation Cultivators, impressively mighty."
A Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator said excitedly, vividly narrating the previous night’s events.
"I’ve already heard about it. It’s said that area was completely frozen, forming a thick layer of ice, and those three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators were frozen into lifelike ice sculptures, dying tragically."
"Isn’t that so? I went to that place today, and even now, the ice covering the ground hasn’t melted, and the surrounding still exudes bone-chilling cold. Who knows what kind of technique the Lord Island Master used, achieving such power—utterly terrifying."
"The Lord Island Master is truly strong; I’ve seen some Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but such a powerful Honored Guest Elder like the Lord Island Master is a first for me."
"It seems our Fire Copper Island is now thoroughly stable. As long as no Golden Core Zhenren come attacking, we’re as secure as Mount Tai with no problems at all."
"Haha, I knew it, Fire Copper Island is indeed quite safe. Those fools who wanted to run away must be regretting it now, with the Yiling Island Group in complete chaos, where else is safe?"
"Indeed, better to stay put than to flee around."
Many cultivators were discussing, each one exhilarated.
Normally, Foundation Establishment cultivators were exalted figures akin to emperors of secular dynasties.
Ordinary cultivators generally had no chance to interact with such beings.
But now, they were slain, frozen as ice sculptures, put on display.
This was truly astonishing.
Moreover, it proved the strength and fearsome nature of the Fire Copper Island Master.
Having such protection was indeed a blessing for them.
"By the way, why do these three Foundation Establishment cultivators look so familiar, as if seen somewhere before?"
"Haha, I recognized them earlier. These three are the infamous Liu Brothers, the three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators that once ravaged the Yiling Island Group. It’s said they raided everywhere, offending some Golden Core influences, so no force wanted to shelter them, leaving them to become bandits, plundering everywhere, loathed by all."
"I see, these three must have seen the war between Red Whale Island and Sea Snake Island, thought they could profit, sneaked to Fire Copper Island intending to plunder, but unexpectedly met the Lord Island Master and faced their doom."
Many cultivators recognized the identity of these three Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators, knowing they were notorious for causing bloodshed in these seas, true villains.
But now, finally slain, was a vengeance for many cultivators.
