The rest of them were also frightened; they were at the rcy of others right now, and although they hadn’t seen the Sword Qi, they felt its power.
With a loud bang, Shen Zhe felt the force that was pressing down on him disappear.
But strangely, so octopus-like tentacles suddenly appeared on the ground near him, lying there limp and rolling around.
The bodies of the other four also broke free from the constraints. Although they had seen a lot, they had never seen sothing so disgusting.
The most jumpy of them, Liu An, felt his whole body shiver and kicked the unknown things far away.
"What the hell is this!"
At this question, everyone looked at Yun Ran, apparently thinking that since she could deal with these things, she should know what they were.
Yun Ran, however, shook her head, "I don’t know either, but they can probably turn invisible. If I hadn’t sensed their glee when they captured you, I wouldn’t have discovered them."
Gao He, suppressing his disgust, picked up the tentacle that had been severed by Yun Ran. It felt cold to the touch and a bit like jelly.
Curiously, he looked at Yu Mumu, "Why didn’t they attack you?"
Had it been soone else, they might have felt accused, but Yun Ran wasn’t that sensitive or fragile.
Yun Ran straightforwardly pulled out a string from her neck, showing the palm-sized piece hanging from it to everyone.
Her tone was casual, "Oh, probably because I have the Heavenly Thunder Order on . These sneaky things are naturally afraid of it."
She wasn’t foolish. This place had already swallowed several groups of people, clearly harboring evil spirits. Of course, she had to wear the thing that scared evil spirits the most to reduce trouble.
Finally, the straight-laced n seed to understand what the online term "Versailles" ant.
Ginsengfruit was also shocked and looked at Yun Ran: [Host, shouldn’t you tell how you have the Heavenly Thunder Order? And that Heavenly Thunder Pearl you gave to Xie Xuzhi earlier...]
"Of course, it was the leftover material from refining the Heavenly Thunder Order. Did you really think it was so priceless treasure? An acquaintance would get to part with my treasure?"
This Heavenly Thunder Order was sothing she had spent three years searching through all rumored perilous lands and a considerable amount of Essence Blood to create her Lifebound Magical Artifact.
The leftover material was used to make twelve Heavenly Thunder Pearls. She gave ten to the Qingfeng Temple and kept two for herself, planning to sell them to a rich family for a good price.
For the first ti, Ginsengfruit felt like its CPU was fried, realizing its host was such a crafty person.
Shen Zhe was considered the top tier in Dao progress within the Special Administration Bureau, yet, looking at the Heavenly Thunder Order, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes, making it impossible to see the runes clearly.
Yu Liang, the weakest in Dao progress, suddenly blacked out and imdiately spat blood.
Yun Ran was shocked, touched her head in confusion. It was clear their low Dao progress had caused the runes on the Heavenly Thunder Order to backfire on them.
Yet, her weakest junior apprentice used to hold the Heavenly Thunder Order, using it to print runes and sell Evil Exorcism Talismans wholesale, without any issues.
Although the Heavenly Thunder Order was a high-level magical artifact, its primary function was to help her summon Heavenly Thunder without using too much of her Primordial Energy.
How could it backfire on soone just by looking at it? How low was their Dao progress?
Despite being shocked, Yun Ran quickly put away the Heavenly Thunder Order, afraid the runes would cause more damage.
Shen Zhe took out an ergency pill for Yu Liang to consu. Seeing Yu Liang’s face regain so color, he finally sighed in relief.
Most steadfast of all, Wang Lin, now looked at Yun Ran with a complicated gaze. Initially, they had accepted that they might not make it out of this mission unscathed.
Not only had they received a precious Substitute Talisman, but they now also saw what a high-level magical artifact truly was.
An artifact that could backlash anyone who looked at it—this was no re outside support, this was a golden opportunity.
To think they once worried Yun Ran might be a burden, but it turned out she had a trump card and had nothing to fear.
At this mont, Yun Ran felt a bit awkward, not knowing what to say.
Thankfully, the injured Yu Liang neither blad Yun Ran nor felt she was showing off and causing his injury. Instead, he comforted her.
"Don’t worry, I’m tough; I’ll be fine soon."
Yun Ran wasn’t afraid of others being harsh to her, but she couldn’t handle too much kindness instead.
The danger level of this place was unknown, and injured parties would surely beco pri targets for these sinister beings.
Yun Ran directly bit her finger, drawing a health rune on Yu Liang’s body. As soon as the talisman ford, a flash of gold appeared but quickly faded, and the blood-drawn talisman disappeared.
Yu Liang’s backfired injury vanished completely, but Yun Ran’s face turned a bit pale.
At the sa ti, when Yun Ran used her blood to draw the health rune, the previously calm domain seed under attack and began shaking violently, as if about to collapse.
Even their ears were filled with strange howling.
Although Shen Zhe’s expression turned grave, his movents remained unperturbed. He shouted, "Form the formation!"
The other four, hearing this, also thodically took out their magical artifacts, working with Shen Zhe to set up their strongest defensive Five Elents Formation.
Yun Ran’s position was right at the center of the Five Elents Formation, and as the formation was completed, a pentagram appeared underfoot.
A flash of light and using the pentagram as the foundation, the six of them were encased in a ball of light.
The earlier tremors and the mysterious creatures’ howling gradually subsided.
Despite the surroundings becoming distorted, the light ball protected all six of them well.
As ti ticked by, sothing was clearly attacking their light ball from an unseen place. Yun Ran watched as the ball of light went from vibrant gold to increasingly dim.
Seeing the light ball was about to break, Yun Ran finally made her move. As it shattered, she caught the waiting Ghost King ready to devour them.
The Ghost King struggled desperately, but Yun Ran slapped it, "You’re ugly, change back to your original form!"
The Ghost King, stunned from the slap, obediently turned back into the form of a delicate woman, but her eyes were filled with shock.
"How can you hit in my own domain!"
With the domain’s master restrained, the domain stopped twisting, and those invisible creatures showed their true forms.
