Living steadily in the world of gods and mystery

The sky was dark.

The footsteps of the night patrol had passed by.

Chen Li sat on a large rock in the courtyard.

He threw out talismans one by one.

Then he got up and picked them back up again.

He continued to practice.

The talismans were very thin, light and floaty, no matter how he adjusted his technique, they couldn’t fly further than seven or eight meters before falling to the ground, and their speed was pitifully slow.

"No wonder ’Bai Jinwang’ easily dodged it!" Chen Li’s frown deepened the more he practiced.

In the past, the talismans he used were mainly for personal use, such as the Featherweight Talisman, Amulet, and Golden Light Body Protection Talisman, all of which were of this type. Even the Evil-Repelling Talisman and Evil-Breaking Talisman were primarily for self-defense, at most used for ’cleaning up’ the battlefield.

Fighting with talismans was a first for him, and the experience was quite dreadful.

"There must be a specialized solution!" Chen Li thought to himself, "After all, there is no shortage of attack talismans. If there wasn’t a specialized throwing technique, it would be too unsafe."

...

It wasn’t until daylight that Chen Li asked Zhou Hong and finally understood.

"Haven’t you practiced the Throwing Skill?" Zhou Hong asked in surprise while doing her makeup in front of the mirror, "It’s that basic level one spell that many people know."

Her husband was proficient in many advanced spells, yet he didn’t even know this.

"So that’s how it is!" Chen Li had an epiphany, kissed Zhou Hong happily and said, "I didn’t expect it to be so simple."

"Stop it, you’ve messed up my hair."

Throwing Skill!

Before this, he had thought that this skill, like the Spiritual Power Finger Snap, was purely an offensive spell.

As a result, among the four basic level one spells he had collected.

He had practiced the other three.

But had completely missed this one.

Nor did he expect it could be used this way.

Eagerly, Chen Li returned to the talisman room, took out a spell book, and began to study the Throwing Skill.

The level one basic spell was extremely simple.

There was no need to chant any incantation, only the manipulation of internal Spiritual Power was required.

It took him just over ten minutes to master it.

Chen Li held a talisman between his fingers: "Go!"

The next moment.

The talisman that had been light and floaty no matter how it was thrown, now shot out like a blood-energized arrow, becoming a blur as it struck the wall with a light "pop."

"It really works!"

After several trials.

He began practical combat drills.

Of course, he used only Evil-Repelling Talismans for practice.

Chen Li found that it was indeed a bit tricky.

The time from activating the Spiritual Power to the talisman spell taking effect was extremely short, no more than 0.5 seconds, and in such a brief time, he also had to use the Throwing Skill. Not to mention anything else, the Throwing Skill had to be practiced to perfection.

Fortunately for Chen Li.

This was all simple practice.

Just one morning.

He had trained the Throwing Skill to a proficient level.

...

"Go!"

An Evil-Repelling Talisman rapidly ignited, turning into a long line of fire that shot out more than ten meters and then exploded in an instant.

A circle of Evil-Repelling light spread out in all directions.

"It’s basically usable in combat now, and most people probably only practice to this level!" Chen Li thought to himself, "Ever since that encounter with the Evil Wraith during the migration, these kind of sinister entities have become a shadow in my heart. I want to see just how terrible they can be!"

A fierce light flashed in Chen Li’s eyes.

He was still quite confident.

With so many Evil-Breaking Talismans and Evil-Repelling Talismans, he was in an unbeatable position.

From the few encounters he had had, it was obvious that the entity was extremely fearful of these kinds of things.

What was left was figuring out how to kill it.

...

In the following days, every time Chen Li woke up in the early morning, he would quietly get up, leave the house, and wander around, avoiding the patrol team’s figures while searching for ’Bai Jinwang’s’ traces.

Oddly enough, despite the Law Enforcement Team of Luoluo City having searched for many days, they had not found ’Bai Jinwang,’ nor did they know where it hid during the day.

Every day, several people died, and the entire Luoluo City was in a state of panic.

During this time, he did hear a faint noise once.

But by the time he rushed over, ’Bai Jinwang’ had vanished without a trace, and Chen Li found only two dried up corpses in the bedroom at the scene. Of course, he also found three Mid-grade Spirit Stones, one high-quality Magic Artifact, one mid-quality Magic Artifact, and two low-quality magic robes.

It was an unexpected gain. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After all, with the owners dead, these were unclaimed items.

Chen Li even suspected that the patrol team’s failure to deal with Bai Jinwang might be related to the wealth of the deceased.

It was not until the fifth day that there was a turning point.

In the early hours of the morning, after making a round outside, Chen Li went to the kitchen to wash his face, preparing to go back to bed to sleep a little longer, when he suddenly heard faint footsteps outside. He was slightly startled.

His figure moved swiftly towards the door.

In a few strides.

He was already atop the wall.

There he saw ’Bai Jinwang’ with a full head of white hair, standing at his door, staring intensely at Chen Li.

Compared to a few days ago, its appearance had changed once again, becoming even more emaciated, with deeply sunken cheeks, black and sharp nails, and a damp grey magic robe that seemed rather loose on its slender frame.

Coupled with the shadow flitting around its body and its crimson eyes, it looked extremely eerie and sinister.

"Damn, it’s come to my doorstep by itself.

Clearly, last time’s incident has made it target me.

But,

I’ve also been looking for you!"

A fierce light flashed again in Chen Li’s eyes, and he quickly threw an Evil-Breaking Talisman at it.

Bai Jinwang still attempted to escape as before, its body becoming a phantom as it fled into the distance.

Its speed had become even faster than when they last met.

Too bad.

Chen Li had been obsessively preparing to face this Evil Wraith, devising several battle plans and simulating them countless times... There was no way he would let it escape.
