The jade pendant on Boya Yuan San's neck truly had a life-saving effect. Ling Tian almost burst out laughing. It turned out that the jade pendant was inscribed with a Vajra Talisman formation.
This meant the jade pendant functioned similarly to a Vajra Talisman, capable of withstanding one fatal attack.
Of course, this item, like the Vajra Talisman, was a one-time use item. After its energy was fully released, it would naturally shatter.
Compared to talismans, the production cost of this item was many times higher, as it required jade of extremely good quality and high purity as material.
If one's hand trembled during the carving process, the entire piece of jade would likely be ruined.
However, it wasn't strange for such a peculiar item to exist. Drawing talismans required not only superb artistic skill but also extremely high control over one's true essence.
The biggest advantage of this item over talismans was its easier storage. After all, a talisman, no matter how powerful, might lose its energy and become ineffective after decades due to the properties of its materials.
Now, watching the jade pendant shatter before his eyes, Boya Yuan San's heart was bleeding!
At this moment, Boya Zhuo Mo's pupils contracted sharply. He seemed to have understood something.
"You... how can you also know the Five Elements Evasion Technique..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian immediately rolled his eyes at him.
"What's so strange about that? Your so-called Onmyōdō and Five Elements Evasion Techniques, you倭国 people, all learned them by stealing from our Huaxia.
Many things are even considered dregs that we've already discarded, or are just superficial, yet you treat them as treasures!
You have the nerve to bring out such things, truly shameless!"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, the master and disciple exchanged glances, utterly unable to refute. Ling Tian's words were spot on. The inheritance of Japanese Onmyōji truly originated from the Yin-Yang School of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
It was said that Xu Fu, who deceived Qin Shi Huang and led 500 young boys and girls to the East, was a typical representative of the Yin-Yang School.
In the following years, Japan sent large numbers of people to Huaxia annually to steal culture, technology, and even to interbreed.
They genuinely treated things discarded by Huaxia as treasures, then promoted the so-called spirit of craftsmanship, and in doing so, managed to preserve some things that were already lost.
In Boya Zhuo Mo's memory, techniques like the Five Elements Evasion Technique had likely been lost in Huaxia for hundreds or thousands of years. Yet, unexpectedly, this young man before him clearly understood techniques, and moreover, his cultivation was even higher than his disciple's!
"Alright, since you've made a move against me, I don't need to be polite anymore. I will show you what true Huaguo techniques are!"
As Ling Tian spoke, he produced an entire book of Exploding Fire Talismans. Injecting his true essence into the talismans, ten fist-sized fireballs began to circle around him.
Although these fireballs looked much less impressive than Boya Yuan San's Giant Fireball Technique, the master and disciple dared not underestimate them. They could keenly sense the immense energy contained within these fireballs!
"You倭国 people are just bored. Always giving these flashy names to moves, completely unnecessary.
Die!"
Ling Tian finished speaking, and the ten fireballs suddenly separated, five in each group, whistling as they hurtled towards the master and disciple duo.
Seeing this, the master and disciple acted almost simultaneously, forming hand seals. They both knew that when facing techniques, escape was impossible. No matter how fast a person ran, they would likely be unable to reach a safe distance within the control range of the techniques.
"Water Evasion, Ice Barrier!"
Through hand seals, Boya Yuan San released almost all his remaining magic power. This magic power formed a thick, about one-centimeter-thick, very sturdy ice shell on his body!
The next moment, five fireballs collided with the ice shell!
Although the ice shell was very cold and had decent defense, it struggled to withstand the Exploding Fire Talismans, which had temperatures of one to two thousand degrees.
After enduring the first three fireballs, the ice shell was already precarious. The fourth fireball vaporized it, and the last fireball exploded directly in front of Boya Yuan San, sending him flying several meters away by the immense blast wave!
Almost simultaneously, Boya Zhuo Mo completed his hand seals. A large amount of magic power erupted from his hands, transforming into a giant whirlwind with a diameter of over two meters and a wind force of about level 11.
"Wind Evasion, Hurricane!"
Ling Tian's five fireballs were directly caught in the giant whirlwind. The wind pressure directly detonated the five Exploding Fire Talismans, turning the entire giant whirlwind into a fiery vortex, which then lunged towards Ling Tian.
With a flash of thought, Ling Tian produced a talisman in each hand. These two talismans were called Gale Talismans.
Ling Tian injected his true essence into the talismans and pushed them forward fiercely. The two talismans transformed into two gusts of wind, directly charging towards the incoming fiery whirlwind.
"Whoosh..."
The two winds collided. The fiery whirlwind, due to its high temperature, was directly pushed upwards by the opposing wind, soaring into the sky. The massive fire vortex rose twenty to thirty meters into the air before dissipating in the night sky!
Boya Zhuo Mo, on the other side, stared with wide eyes in astonishment. He had initially been pleased with his own cleverness. The giant whirlwind formed by his Wind Evasion Technique not only blocked the attack of the Exploding Fire Talismans but also redirected their violent power back towards Ling Tian.
However, he hadn't expected Ling Tian to neutralize his move with just two talismans. He could tell that while Ling Tian's talismans weren't as powerful as his own techniques, their consumption was also very small.
His Wind Evasion technique just now had drained nearly half of his magic power! If he couldn't defeat Ling Tian before his strength gave out, he would likely die on this strange little island today!
However, it was only at this moment that Boya Zhuo Mo remembered that he still seemed to have a disciple!
So he quickly turned to look at Boya Yuan San, only to have his jaw drop at the sight before him.
Boya Yuan San was covered in black soot, still smoking. Although not dead, he was barely clinging to life!
Boya Zhuo Mo rushed over.
"Yuan San, how are you..."
Boya Yuan San's eyes were wide, but he no longer had the strength to speak. Boya Zhuo Mo could see the meaning conveyed in his disciple's eyes: Boya Yuan San did not want to die!
But, as things stood, nothing was up to him anymore!
