After the Breakup I Took It Easy and Became Invincible Chapter 164 : Chapter 164

Chapter 164. A Ninth-rank Talisman Intercepts the Beast Tide, Leaving Everyone Stunned

Above the border-defense watchtower of Rift Valley Town, a gigantic palace of pure gilded gold took shape amidst a blaze of golden light.

The palace slowly descended, stretching across the exit of the Eastern Great Rift Valley. Countless swirling runes flowed within it.

The Fire Lions that charged into the golden palace found their surroundings changing in an instant. The gloomy battlefield turned into towering walls on every side that could not be crossed, and for a ti, they could not even find where the exit was.

Watching Demonic Beasts leap out of the Eastern Great Rift Valley one after another, only to vanish into that golden palace, shock filled i Xue’er’s eyes.

Jiang Yichen had used a talisman just now as well, but what kind of talisman was it? How could it possess such terrifying power?

When i Xue’er and the other mbers of the Divine Battle Division leaped up to the top of the watchtower and looked down at the golden palace below, they were instantly stunned.

The palace covered an area of 720,000 square ters. Its internal structure was intricate and labyrinthine, perfectly blocking the Demonic Beasts pouring out of the Eastern Great Rift Valley.

Moreover, every Demonic Beast that entered the palace beca like a headless fly, crashing around in every direction, unable to find its bearings.

“Damn, what is this? It can actually trap a beast horde led by three Eighth-rank Fire Lions.”

“No idea. I only saw Jiang Yichen take out a talisman, and then this enormous palace appeared.”

“A talisman? What kind of talisman is that powerful?”

“...”

The border-defense soldiers all stared in amazent at the golden palace that had suddenly appeared before them.

Feng Xiazi could not help looking toward Jiang Yichen atop the watchtower. He could not understand it, yet at the sa ti, he felt fortunate.

What he could not understand was how Jiang Yichen had thrown around talismans as if they were worthless, and yet with only this handful of people, they had actually managed to hold out this long against a Beast Tide beyond S-Rank.

What made him feel fortunate was that with them here, the townspeople of Rift Valley Town would definitely live long enough to see reinforcents arrive.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Feng Xiazi’s mouth.

On the watchtower—

“Wow, Brother Yichen, what kind of talisman is this? It trapped them all inside just like that!”

Su Linyu’s little face was full of astonishnt as she asked.

Tang Long, Chu Xingchen, and Jiang Feng all looked equally curious.

Jiang Yichen said calmly, “It’s only a Ninth-rank talisman. There’s nothing to make such a fuss over.”

Oh, a Ninth-rank talisman... wait, what? Ninth-rank?!

???!

Su Linyu, the others, and the entire Divine Battle Division were dumbstruck.

Since the Great Cataclysm, only one legendary talisman maker had ever created a Ninth-rank talisman, and that one was now preserved in the museum at Headquarters.

And now he was saying it was only one Ninth-rank talisman?

“Brother Yichen, a Ninth-rank talisman still does not count as sothing worth making a fuss over?” Su Linyu’s face was filled with disbelief.

She had never imagined that the Jiang Family actually had a talisman maker capable of creating Ninth-rank talismans. The foundations of her future husband’s family were terrifyingly deep.

Even though she herself was the daughter of a top great family, she suddenly had the bizarre feeling that she was marrying into true wealth.

Su Linyu blinked and found herself finally understanding why her father had urged her, back when they were children, to take the initiative and build a close relationship with Brother Yichen. The Jiang Family was simply far too powerful.

“Brother Yichen, you’re not joking, right? I heard there was only one Ninth-rank talisman, and it’s in the Headquarters museum. Did you buy it?”

Tang Long asked with a dazed expression.

Jiang Yichen shook his head slightly. “No. Who said there was only one? I still have two more. They’re more than enough to deal with this Beast Tide.”

He took out the other two Ninth-rank Nine-Palace Heavenly Qian Talismans from System Space and waved them in front of everyone.

Uh...

This...

Tang Long and Chu Xingchen finally understood. The Jiang Family must have produced a peerless talisman maker who had succeeded in creating Ninth-rank talismans.

The Jiang Family’s foundation was truly unfathomable.

“Brother Yichen, please accept my knees.” Tang Long clasped his fists with both hands, completely won over.

The mbers of the Divine Battle Division wore stiff expressions as they stared at the Ninth-rank talismans in Jiang Yichen’s hand, beginning to doubt whether this was even still the real world.

Everything they had once accepted as common sense had been shattered by Jiang Yichen’s heaven-defying actions.

He casually took out three Ninth-rank talismans and scattered Seventh-rank talismans like candy... good grief, just how deep were the Jiang Family’s reserves to withstand Jiang Yichen spending them like this?

i Xue’er suddenly felt heat rising to the face. When the Beast Tide had first arrived, i Xue’er had thought Jiang Yichen was all talk.

But now...

That slap to the face had co far too quickly.

With these Ninth-rank talismans here, holding out until Headquarters’ reinforcents arrived would be no problem at all.

“Uh... Jiang Yichen, I apologize for what I said earlier.” i Xue’er, with long wine-red hair, lowered her head slightly in apology.

Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. “It’s fine. You were worried about our safety, that’s all. You were just overthinking it a little.”

“...” i Xue’er had no response. Slowly turning away, i Xue’er switched back into the bearded middle-aged-man disguise. “Yes, indeed. Next ti I won’t care whether you live or die.”

That childish clipped voice rang out again, and Jiang Yichen shook his head helplessly. A bearded middle-aged man paired with that ridiculous cutesy voice really made him want to walk over and punch i Xue’er once.

His gaze shifted down to the golden palace below. The Demonic Beasts were trapped inside, but they were not dead.

Jiang Yichen swept his eyes across Su Linyu and the others. “Now that the Demonic Beasts are trapped inside, I’ll leave the killing to you.”

“No problem, Brother Yichen. Fighting is also a form of cultivation.”

Holding the Vermilion Feather Fan, Su Linyu leaped down from the watchtower and entered the golden palace.

Tang Long and Chu Xingchen followed close behind, each holding a Ninth-rank Magical Artifact, clearly intending to charge in and cut everything down.

Only Jiang Feng remained standing where he was, as though there was sothing he could not make sense of.

He and Jiang Yichen had both lived in the Jiang Family. From childhood, Jiang Feng had been exposed to all of the Jiang Family’s operations and had a comprehensive understanding of its strength.

But if the Jiang Family really had a talisman maker capable of creating Ninth-rank talismans, how was it possible that he knew nothing about it?

Were he and Jiang Yichen even living in the sa Jiang Family?

“Why are you still standing there? Get moving too.” Seeing that Jiang Feng was not moving, Jiang Yichen kicked him once.

Jiang Feng staggered back a step and glared over in anger.

“Man, you dare order around!”

“So what if I do? I’m the team leader. I’m ordering a team mber. Do you have a problem with that?”

“You...” Jiang Feng clenched his fists, but in the end, he still swallowed his anger and jumped down from the watchtower into the palace.

Jiang Yichen nodded in satisfaction, then sat down comfortably on the watchtower and quietly watched Su Linyu and the others slaughter Demonic Beasts below.

“Hey, you’re the team leader. Why aren’t you leading by example? Why are you dumping all the work of killing Demonic Beasts onto your team mbers?”

Lingling’s transparent soul form floated there with both hands on the hips, looking deeply dissatisfied.

Every ti their minister carried out a mission, the minister charged at the very front and bore the responsibilities of leadership. But Jiang Yichen was watching his team mbers kill Demonic Beasts while he sat there like he was enjoying a show, without the slightest sense of responsibility.

Hearing that, Jiang Yichen calmly opened a bottle of drink and said slowly, “I’m already the team leader. If I still have to do everything myself, then what’s the point of being the team leader?”

“...” Lingling was speechless for a mont. It sounded like it almost made sense... no, wait, how could I agree with this kind of irresponsible behavior?

“Then what exactly is a team leader supposed to do?”

Jiang Yichen took a sip of his drink and smiled faintly. “Just enjoy life.”

Divine Battle Division: “...”

i Xue’er frowned slightly and asked in that distinctive clipped voice, “Wouldn’t your team mbers have objections if you act like this?”

Objections?

Jiang Yichen thought about it. During the past month of recruit training, he really had been absent quite often as team leader. If he were one of the team mbers, he probably would have had objections too.

“You’re right. I really can’t just sit here and reap the benefits.”

“That’s more like it. Then hurry up and go kill so Demonic Beasts.” Lingling looked at him expectantly.

They all wanted to see Jiang Yichen reveal his true strength.

“That won’t do. A team leader shouldn’t make a move so easily.” Jiang Yichen waved a hand. “I’ll send two little underlings to help them instead.”

“Xiao Bai, dusa, go on.”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Ze, radiating sacred brilliance, and dusa, dressed in a red gown with breathtaking beauty, appeared before Jiang Yichen.

“Yes, Master.” dusa dropped to one knee and answered respectfully.

The divine beast Bai Ze also nodded slightly before flying into the golden palace together with dusa.

??？

Divine beast Bai Ze! Evil God dusa! What?

i Xue’er and the others froze in place like statues at the sight of it.
