Duan Shuang and Gong Yang, who were engrossed in battle with the lower-level evil spirits, couldn't help but show expressions of shock mixed with joy on their faces.

If Xu Ping hadn't turned the tide here, the two of them facing such numerous and powerful evil spirits would have had no chance of survival.

However, Xu Ping showed no sign of happiness at all, his face was as solemn as if it was covered with frost.

The strength difference between the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit and the early stage is as wide as the gap between clouds and mud!

Just two Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans only injured it, far from the point of slaying it.

One should know, last time against an early stage Golden Core evil spirit, the same means directly annihilated it in one fell swoop.

"Roar!"

The mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit glared at Xu Ping with its blood-red eyes, the venomous intent nearly materializing in its gaze.

It then let out a furious roar, opening a mouth vast enough to swallow the sky, a colossal suction power erupted from its abyssal maw.

Whirr...

Under this terrifying suction, the surrounding lower-level evil spirits were swept in as if ants caught in a whirlpool, involuntarily getting sucked in one by one into its mouth.

As countless lower-level evil spirits were swallowed into its belly, the wounds inflicted by the Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman healed at a visibly astonishing speed.

Moreover, the aura it emitted grew stronger and stronger, like a volcano about to erupt, continuously escalating.

"This is bad!"

Xu Ping's face changed drastically, internally shouting that something was wrong, he unhesitatingly raised his hand to unleash a Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman, aiming at the evil spirit.

He knew very well, he absolutely couldn't allow this evil spirit any chance to recover, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

In an instant, the talisman burst with dazzling cyan light, transforming instantly into a raging purple Thunder Dragon, rushing with thunderous momentum towards the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit.

Whirr...

The mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit's eyes flickered with a chilling gleam, its body swirling with ink-cloud-like yin energy, the suction from its mouth suddenly intensified several times.

The countless lower-level evil spirits had no time to resist, forcibly sucked to the front, forming a "barrier of evil spirits" in front of the purple thunder.

Boom boom boom...

A series of deafening explosions.

The lower-level evil spirits blocking in front of the evil spirit were instantly hit by the purple Divine Thunder, immediately transforming into clouds of pungent black smoke, dissipating in the air, accompanied by piercingly extreme screams that chilled the spine.

Once the purple thunder had eradicated all the lower-level evil spirits, its remaining force continued, directly striking at the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit.

However, after this obstruction, the power of the purple thunder had been weakened by thirty percent.

Finally, this thunder was completely blocked by the hastily formed yin energy shield of the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit.

"Let's see whether you have more low-level evil spirits or I have more talismans!"

Xu Ping's gaze was as cold as frost, exuding unwavering killing intent, he unhesitatingly unleashed another Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman.

After breaking through to late-stage Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense and Mana increased greatly, casting around ten Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans was not difficult for him.

He didn't believe he couldn't outlast this mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit with his talismans!

Boom!

A massive purple thunder, under Xu Ping's precise control, like a giant ax splitting the heavens, precisely shattered countless low-level evil spirits, the powerful shock directly pushed the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit back dozens of feet.

"Again!"

Xu Ping's face showed determined killing intent, raising his hand again, another Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman whistled out.

The mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit seeing this, finally showed a hint of fear in its eyes.

It truly couldn't comprehend why this being before it, originally exuding a sweet scent like prey, would possess talismans of such power specifically restraining it.

But now it knew very well that if it didn't hurriedly flee from here, its fate would likely end here.

Whirr...

The mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit exerted all its strength, its whole body bursting with yin energy wildly, opening its vast maw, the suction reached unprecedented limits.

In an instant, countless low-level evil spirits flew into the flame like moths, drawn to its front.

Even the previously severely wounded early-stage Golden Core evil spirit couldn't escape, and was also drawn in.

Boom!

At this moment, the purple thunder struck fiercely on the early-stage Golden Core evil spirit, lightning spread all around, exploding with a thunderous roar.

The blinding lightning instantly erupted, enveloping this early-stage Golden Core evil spirit along with numerous lower-level evil spirits.

Seizing this chaos, the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit abruptly turned around, transformed into a dim black gleam, fleeing desperately without any regard.

In just the blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone's view, leaving only a faint black dot at the horizon.

At this moment, as the lightning gradually dissipated, the early-stage Golden Core evil spirit and countless lower-level evil spirits hit by the purple thunder had long since turned to ash, all reduced to nothingness.

"Finally managed to scare away that mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although continuing the fight, his chances of winning were certainly high, who knew if this mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit had other means.

Scaring it away was already quite good.

'It's a pity my proficiency with the Spirit Silk Skill isn't enough, otherwise I could trap it using the Three-Talent Talisman Array, it certainly wouldn't escape.' Xu Ping shook his head helplessly.

The Three-Talent Talisman Array built using Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans held vast power, coupled with talismans that restrained evil spirits, it might have been able to kill it in one strike.

On the other side of the battlefield, the fight between Duan Shuang, Gong Yang, and the Water Lake Rats against Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment level evil spirits showed a one-sided situation.

Though initially these lower-level evil spirits were extremely numerous, most were absorbed by the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit to restore its strength.

Now under the combined attacks of the two people and a rat, these evil spirits were gradually losing support, showing a noticeable trend of defeat.

At this time, after Xu Ping resolved the Golden Core level evil spirits, he hurried over to assist, still having several Celestial Thunder Talismans left in hand, he unhesitatingly threw them into the group of evil spirits.

Only to see the talismans instantly transform into several streaks of thunder, pouring down like a torrential storm, completely submerging the remaining Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment level evil spirits.

With flashes of dazzling thunder and deafening booms, the last batch of evil spirits under the mighty power of the talismans transformed into rolling black smoke, dissipated in the air.

Until now, after a fierce battle, Purple Bamboo Mountain finally returned to calm.

"This time was really too thrilling." Gong Yang let out a long breath, the lingering fear of escaping death still present on his face.

Duan Shuang gently raised her hand, slowly putting away her Magical Artifact.

Her beautiful eyes, still faintly revealed some signs of fear.

"Indeed, who could have anticipated so many evil spirits suddenly attacking Purple Bamboo Mountain, and among them, there was even one early-stage and one mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit!"

Speaking, Duan Shuang cast a grateful gaze towards Xu Ping: "If it wasn't for Fellow Daoist Xu turning the tide, the two of us would have been devoured by the Golden Core evil spirits long ago!"

"Fellow Daoist Duan is too kind, I was merely acting for self-preservation." Xu Ping waved slightly, his face couldn't help but show a wry smile.

He indeed spoke truthfully, against the mid-stage Golden Core evil spirit, fleeing wouldn't work.

"This large-scale evil spirit assault event, this old man feels is definitely not by chance."

Gong Yang's brow furrowed tightly, like a twisted rope, his face solemnly in deep thought.

Such a vast number of evil spirits, also with two Golden Core level ones appearing simultaneously, truly seemed unnatural.

"I think so too!" Xu Ping nodded upon hearing this.

Then, he lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I suspect, this matter perhaps cannot be separated from Luoyun Sect?"

"Luoyun Sect?"

Duan Shuang and Gong Yang were slightly taken aback, after reacting, their expressions changed, "Could it be due to Luoyun Sect attacking Shuize Sect?"

Throughout the Wanzhe Waters although evil spirits were rampant, the most severe area was the Shuize Sect surrounded by countless evil spirits.
