After hearing Xiong Sanba's proud words, Ye Li realized that he had fallen into the other party's trap.
As the leader of a mountain stronghold, Xiong Sanba is a veteran of many battles and is definitely not someone who can be easily defeated.
He saw through Ye Li's plan from the very beginning. He chose to take advantage of the situation and let Ye Li break through his defense. Relying on the scale armor talisman on his body, he pulled Ye Li into his trap.
At this moment, Ye Li's situation became very critical after falling into the trap. The Earth Fire Snake that he had just blocked was now chasing him from behind.
The huge body, nearly twenty meters long, coiled up, blocking Ye Li's retreat routes behind and on both sides.
Ye Li originally wanted to continue moving forward, bypassing Xiong Sanba and rushing out of the trap. However, with Xiong Sanba's careful design, how could he leave such a big flaw
The quicksand shield that originally surrounded him suddenly changed from defense to offense, transforming into a vortex of quicksand that swept towards Ye Li.
For a moment, the space around Ye Li, including the space above his head, was completely blocked. There was a whirlpool of quicksand in front of him and an earth and fire snake behind him. If he was caught in both, Ye Li believed that there was absolutely no chance of survival.
Xiong Sanba's face showed an even more smug expression. Xie Qi, who originally thought that Xiong Sanba would also be killed by Ye Li, suddenly saw the situation reversed and his face also showed excitement.
Ye Li, who was in crisis, had an extremely serious expression on his face. His spiritual power was distributed all around him and the entire battle situation was always under his control in his mind.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Li knew that he had no way to escape now, as the surrounding space had been blocked by Xiong Sanba.
Just when Xiong Sanba's Earth Fire Snake and Quicksand Whirlpool were about to swallow Ye Li, Xiong Sanba saw through the thin flame mist that Ye Li's fingers were moving, as if he was drawing an invisible spell.
In his feeling, there seemed to be some kind of power, faintly appearing in Ye Li's hands.
However, there was no spiritual light in his eyes. It was as if Ye Li had just made the gesture of drawing a talisman, drawing a talisman that did not exist.
Just as he was slightly confused, suddenly, the extremely sad and shrill cry of a jackdaw appeared in his mind.
The mournful crow's cry seemed to have awakened the deepest and darkest fear in his heart, and countless terrifying illusions suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Xiong Sanba felt his hair stand on end and a chill rose from his tailbone to his forehead.
He had been struggling and fighting in the martial arts world for who knows how many years, and thought that he no longer had much fear, but now the sound of a crow's cry made him taste that feeling again.
In Xie Qi's eyes, Xiong Sanba, who was as tall and mighty as an iron tower, actually began to tremble in an instant, and his originally proud and excited face turned pale in the blink of an eye.
As if he had seen the most terrifying vision, Xiong Sanba's body trembled unconsciously, and his feet seemed to be a little weak.
This is naturally Ye Li’s hidden trump card, the soul-moving talisman that makes crows cry.
Although Xiong Sanba is two levels higher than Ye Li in realm, he is not stronger than Ye Li in spiritual power, and is even somewhat inferior to Ye Li in strength.
Caught off guard, he was suddenly attacked by Ye Li's Crow's Cry, and immediately fell into fear and confusion.
This chaos caused him to suddenly lose control of the quicksand vortex that he had been controlling. With his spiritual energy cut off, the quicksand vortex instantly turned into sand and dissipated.
Because the Earth Fire Snake was summoned by the Beast Summoning Talisman, it possessed a certain intelligence and was not affected. It continued to attack Ye Li from behind.
However, now the perfect trap has been destroyed, and without the quicksand vortex blocking the way ahead, Ye Li's opportunity has emerged.
Without daring to pause for a moment, Ye Li rushed towards the quicksand like a gust of wind.
The out-of-control quicksand was no longer able to hurt him. Ye Li passed through the sand and completely escaped from the danger.
It was at this moment that Xiong Sanba finally regained consciousness. After all, the level of his spiritual power was not much different from Ye Li's, and the effect of the Crow's Cry was greatly weakened, and it only disturbed him for less than two breaths.
However, in just less than two breaths, Ye Li escaped from his plan.
"What did you just do to me, what kind of attack was this!?"
Xiong Sanba was so shocked that he couldn't help but ask.
Of course Ye Li couldn't answer his question, the Earth Fire Snake behind him was still chasing him.
“I have to admit that you are strong enough. Even if my realm is higher than yours, I may not be able to defeat you.
Since I have exposed my trump card just now, there is no need to hide anything now. Next, I will let you see the power of my Thousand Scale Knife!"
As Xiong Sanba spoke, he reached out and touched the scales on his body.
Although Ye Li was constantly running away to avoid the Earth Fire Snake behind him, his attention was still on Xiong Sanba. When he heard him say that his talisman was called Thousand Scale Knife, he felt confused. He thought Xiong Ba's talisman was of a defensive nature, but now judging from the name, it was obviously of an offensive nature.
Ye Li's doubts were immediately answered. After Xiong Sanba reached out and touched the scales on his body, the armor scales that had been condensed together suddenly disintegrated and turned into hundreds of tiny willow-leaf-shaped blades.
It turns out that although Xiong Sanba looks extremely rough on the outside, he is actually very scheming inside. The scale armor he has been wearing is actually not scale armor at all, but pieces of scimitars stacked together.
After Xiong Sanba poured his spiritual energy and divine power into the Thousand Scale Knife, all of these willow-leaf-shaped blades suddenly came to life and transformed into a thick cloud like silver scales that floated around him.
Ye Li, who had been paying attention to the opponent, frowned suddenly. He was already at a disadvantage. He finally managed to get close to Xiong Sanba to launch a sneak attack, but failed.
And now that the opponent has even activated the talisman, the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for him.
However, according to his observation, Xiong Sanba's talisman was probably only of lower yellow grade.
Although the Thousand Scale Blade looked quite powerful when it was activated, as a talisman, it did not even have any visible attributes. It was merely surrounded by ordinary spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It was obviously not a high-level item.
Generally speaking, only lower-grade yellow talismans are likely to appear in this quality, and talismans of mid-grade and above yellow will have these attributes revealed.
Xiong Sanba looked at Ye Li who was running away, sneered, pointed at Ye Li, and the group of scimitars floating around him immediately flew towards Ye Li.
