Chapter 753 - 835 Caught you!
Crash!
The river waters surged violently as strands of brilliant starlight appeared from afar, quickly drifting over and greedily devouring the power of the stars that Chen Mo infused into the water.
With more and more Profound Spirits arriving, Chen Mo’s star power infused into the water was clearly insufficient for them to consume.
They set their sights on the fishing net condensed from star power by Chen Mo.
However, these Profound Spirits were quite cautious, hesitating at the edge of the net, wavering, yet deeply craving the robust star power radiating from it, which was an irresistible delicacy for them.
After a while of hesitation, their simple instincts ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation in front of them. Finally, they couldn’t hold back and rushed in, diving headlong into the net.
"Not enough, not enough."
Chen Mo resembled a greedy fisherman, yearning for more fish to fill his net.
The situation at the Profound Spirit Waterfall wouldn’t be projected outside for the disciples to see.
If any disciple saw this scene, they would certainly scold Chen Mo for his greed and suggest he stop while he’s ahead.
Yet, Chen Mo’s appetite was vast; instead of withdrawing the net, he poured in more star power to repair and expand the net at the bottom of the water.
Finally, when enough Profound Spirits had entered, a crazed smile appeared on Chen Mo’s greedy face.
Now, it was time to close the net.
Boom!
The Red Dragon Demon Arm activated.
His True Qi suddenly erupted.
With a forceful pull, the fishing net, condensed from star power within the water, suddenly closed, trapping the Profound Spirits, and Chen Mo pulled them out of the water.
All of a sudden, the Profound Spirits in the net were startled, then they began gnawing at the net frantically, struggling desperately.
But now, trying to escape.
Was too late.
Chen Mo tossed the Profound Spirits into the air, then suddenly retracted the star power, causing the net trapping the spirits to vanish, and the spirits plummeted from the sky.
Then Chen Mo picked up the scoop (jade jar) and swiftly captured all these Profound Spirits into the jade jar.
Filling one jade jar, Chen Mo brought out another.
He filled three jars before he stopped.
Unfortunately, these jade jars couldn’t be stored in space ornaments, so he had to use True Qi to hold them, suspending them around himself.
Looking at the three full jade jars, Chen Mo smiled contentedly.
Just as he was about to move to another spot and repeat his actions.
An ice-blue light sliced through the river water, appearing in front of him moments later.
At the newcomer’s feet, a sheet of talisman paper shimmered with golden light, forming a protective shield around them. This talisman paper was drawn with True Qi and wasn’t an external item, as it was used purely based on their own strength within and outside the Profound Spirit Waterfall.
The drawback of this True Qi talisman paper was that it couldn’t last as long as talisman paper drawn with various precious materials.
On the golden talisman paper, a familiar figure was pouting and looking at him.
It was Ice Spirit.
Around her slender waist, a series of talisman papers drawn with True Qi encircled her.
The only thing that surprised Chen Mo was that Ice Spirit didn’t have any jade vessels around her.
"Didn’t capture any Profound Spirits?"
Chen Mo murmured to himself, then shook his head.
That’s impossible.
With her strength, she couldn’t have failed to capture Profound Spirits.
Ice Spirit stood atop the talisman paper, her delicate face and arrogant expression resembling a whimsical fairy. She glanced at the jade jars near Chen Mo and clapped lightly in some admiration:
"I didn’t expect you to think of this method to capture Profound Spirits, truly broadening my horizons. But now, these things are mine."
With that, Ice Spirit said no more.
Talisman papers from her waist flew out one by one, sweeping towards Chen Mo.
"Last time you bullied me when I was injured, this time I’ll reclaim my dignity..."
Ice Spirit muttered incantations, forming seals with her hands, and the talisman papers shooting out formed a barrier around Chen Mo to lock him in, preventing escape.
Ice Spirit’s nimble fingers moved, and two talisman papers shot toward Chen Mo, piercing the barrier without obstruction, then exploded, releasing a massive coldness that spread towards Chen Mo.
Under Chen Mo’s feet, the mist and turbulent water surface already had a layer of frost.
Amid this coldness, Chen Mo felt the True Qi within him running slightly slower.
"Just talisman papers can unleash such coldness; this little girl’s talisman master skills are almost at Tier Five."
A voice echoed in Chen Mo’s consciousness.
It was Qiao Yushi’s voice.
A talisman master ranges from tier one to nine.
Each tier corresponds to a similar realm.
And a Tier Five talisman master can create talisman paper that rivals the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Ice Spirit is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, yet in talisman mastery, she has reached such a high level, to Qiao Yushi’s amazement.
"So, do you have a way to deal with her?" Chen Mo was surprised by Qiao Yushi’s voice and asked.
Feeling the coldness approaching, Chen Mo, while protecting the jade jars, activated the Taiyi True Fire, incinerating all the cold aura, even causing the barrier to distort somewhat.
Qiao Yushi initially intended to provide a method.
Seeing this scene, she twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, saying, "For you... brute force seems enough."
"No simpler method?" Chen Mo transmitted.
"If you weren’t her match, my method would be the simplest, but given your current state, your method is the simplest. Theoretically, a talisman master’s greatest weakness is close combat, but I overheard your senior brother say she’s also strong in close combat," Qiao Yushi explained.
"So what’s the difference between what you said and not saying anything?" Chen Mo complained.
"Between two harms, choose the lesser one; her talisman paper skills are so strong, and close combat, however strong, couldn’t surpass talisman paper. Just get up close..." Qiao Yushi suggested.
"Break for me!"
Chen Mo used the Galaxy Constellations Fist, launching a punch at the barrier around him.
The barrier shattered upon impact.
Then he used Body Shifting, swiftly moving towards Ice Spirit.
But she merely stepped back, moving several feet away, and tossed numerous talisman papers.
The talisman papers exploded in sequence.
Using Fire Talisman.
Ice Talisman!
Water Talisman!
Even Thunder Talisman.
"Earth-shrinking technique!" Qiao Yushi gasped slightly, then remarked, "During the earlier assessment, I said she was extraordinary, indeed..."
Chen Mo was a bit astonished too, it seemed the previous injury had a significant impact on her.
She was like a different person.
"Trying to run..."
Heaven and Earth Lose Color was unleashed, an invisible force directed at Ice Spirit, impossible to resist.
Soon, Ice Spirit found herself in a black-and-white world.
Under the sway of Heaven and Earth Lose Color, her speed couldn’t match Chen Mo’s, who quickly caught up to her.
"Got you!"
