The four of them rested in a safe place for the night, and only continued on their journey after dawn the next morning.
On that day, Ye Li heard the sound of fighting nearby. The four of them were able to distinguish that both sides of the battle were human talisman masters.
It was obvious that there must be contestants fighting near them.
The four of them had no intention of going over to check, but just took turns staying on alert and rested for the whole night.
Not long after they set out on the journey the next day, the four were attacked by monsters. A group of giant bulls covered in thunder rushed out of the forest.
There were more than ten giant bulls covered in lightning in this team, but no one looked nervous, because the strength of this team of monsters was only at the Divine Stage.
"It seems that these thunder bulls are attracted by the thunder crystals on our bodies and that's why they attack us. They want to devour the thunder crystals. Once they swallow the thunder crystals, they will gain stronger power and break through to the Fu Zun realm."
Old man Tiandao said.
As he spoke, a golden thunder talisman lit up in the hand of old man Tiandao, and countless crescent-shaped sword lights spread out in the air, shooting towards the group of thunder bulls like thousands of stars.
In just one encounter, more than a dozen thunder bulls were shot into sieves by the crescent moon light and fell to the ground with a bang.
Just when everyone relaxed and prepared to continue moving forward, two extremely subtle sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and for a moment everyone couldn't even tell the direction of the sounds.
An extremely dangerous feeling surged in Ye Li's heart, and the hairs on his back stood up instantly.
Without even thinking twice, Ye Li activated the secret body-building technique. Nine kinds of power intertwined outside his body, forming a crude defensive shield.
He suddenly exerted force on his feet and leaped to the side, as if he was dodging.
In just a split second, two thumb-sized ochre-colored light shadows passed by where Ye Li had just stood, brushing past Ye Li's body.
"Boom boom..."
Two loud noises were heard, and two balls of yellow light exploded beside Ye Li in an instant.
A ball of light and shadow carrying Yin spiritual energy diffused towards Ye Li's body, instantly melting and corroding the simple defensive shield around Ye Li.
Another group of light and shadow exploded with a strong flame force, and the scorching fire instantly engulfed half of Ye Li's back. "Ah" Ye Li couldn't help but let out a scream, and the part of his back that was engulfed by the flames, the rune clothes, was instantly completely burned.
The scorching flames burned across his skin. Even with the enhancement of the body-casting secret technique, Ye Li could not withstand the scorching heat. His skin turned red, and some parts even began to turn black and hard.
In the crisis, Ye Li quickly mobilized the water power in the secret body-casting technique to his back. A stream of coolness spread along Ye Li's back, reducing the burning pain caused by the flames.
A mouthful of blood gushed out of Ye Li's throat. The flame explosion just now caused more than just burning damage. The impact force at that moment of the explosion was like a sledgehammer hitting Ye Li's back, causing his internal organs to tremble constantly.
"It's the Flying Prism Stone, the two Tianji Elders are near us!!!"
Old Man Tiandao had already recognized the attack, and his brows couldn't help but frown, with a look of nervousness on his face.
Wu Jun and his wife did the same. They activated the defensive spell immediately and looked around as if they were facing a great enemy.
The three of them consciously stood in a triangle, surrounding Ye Li in the middle.
"Ye Li, are you okay?"
Old man Tiandao asked nervously.
Ye Li spat out the blood in his mouth and then stood up.
If it weren't for the fact that his physical strength was comparable to that of monsters of the same level, after those two blows, even if he didn't die, he would have basically just been venting his anger.
The power of the explosion of fire definitely reached the late stage of Talisman God. Even though Ye Li was just hit by the edge, he was seriously injured.
"I'm fine. The skin wound is quite serious and has little impact on my combat effectiveness."
As he spoke, Ye Li also activated the Nine-Colored Divine Armor Talisman. He also realized that the attack just now was not simple, because until this moment he still didn't understand where the attack came from.
"What was the attack just now? Do you know who launched it?"
The four of them looked around warily, and Ye Li asked.
Wu Jun said: "The attack just now was a flying stone, which was sent out by the special talisman of the two elders of the Tianji Gang.
These two guys are proficient in the art of concealment, and their runes can launch special rune stones with a range that even exceeds that of a strong bow.
The rune stone is a specially cast item that can carry the attribute power of two people.
So the attack you just suffered was caused by two different forces, the force of Yin and the force of Fire.
This flying stone is specially cast. It makes very little noise when breaking through the air and is an excellent weapon for launching long-range sneak attacks.
The two Tianji elders are the enemies that everyone in the martial arts world is most reluctant to encounter. These two old guys are extremely despicable when fighting. They hide in the dark to hurt people and are completely difficult to detect.
However, they are both extremely cautious. If we can find out where they are, they will choose to flee and will not launch a second attack in a short period of time."
Wu Jun briefly explained the characteristics of the two Tianji elders, and Ye Li had a preliminary understanding of the two after hearing what he said.
While they were talking, two extremely subtle sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and to everyone it even seemed that the sounds of breaking through the air and the surrounding wind sounds almost merged into one.
If everyone had not been consciously trying to distinguish the sound of the sneak attack, they might not have been able to detect any difference between this sound and the sound of the surrounding wind.
"Ye Li, get out of the way!!"
Old Man Tian Dao roared at Ye Li.
He himself had nothing to be afraid of, as he had reached the peak level of the Talisman God. After launching the defensive talisman, the long-range sneak attack tactics of the two elders Tianji were not very effective against him.
Wu Jun and Xian Shan protected each other and were not too afraid. Only Ye Li's realm was lower, and even if he took the initiative to defend himself, he might not be able to protect himself.
As soon as the old man Tiandao finished speaking, two khaki-colored light shadows appeared beside Ye Li again.
That is to say, when they heard the sound of breaking through the air, the two flying stones had already flown to everyone's side.
The flying stone, which was extremely fast, easily passed through the encirclement formed by old man Tiandao and Wu Jun, and directly attacked Ye Li who was in the middle.
The two flying stones exploded instantly. Because of the blockade and encirclement by the three men of Tiandao, Ye Li had almost no space to dodge, and could only rely on the Nine-Colored Divine Armor Talisman to hold on.
This time, the two flying stones released the dual-attribute power of gold and thunder.
At the moment of the sudden explosion, the power of the metal element penetrated into Ye Li's Nine-Colored Divine Armor Talisman like an extremely sharp drill.
