Taking Action, Catching Insects

Everyone present was immediately taken aback by this sight.

"Who's there!" the Taoist priest shouted, looking warily in the direction from which the water spikes had come.

He was the only one who saw the water spikes launch an attack, so he naturally assumed there were other people there and launched a sneak attack while they weren't paying attention.

"Second Brother, are there other people here?" A slightly chubby man with beady eyes and a round face asked cautiously while looking around at his surroundings.

The man in the Taoist robe didn't speak, but instead took out a talisman and threw it into the air, where it turned into countless water droplets that filled the sky.

Basic Lower-Tier Rainstorm Talisman!

With a wave of his right hand, the man in the Taoist robe sent raindrops flying, which then struck the bushes, crackling and scattering many of them.

However, what puzzled the Taoist man was that there was no one there. Otherwise, under his attack with the Rain of Rain Talisman, they would have revealed themselves.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan's smile widened. Under his divine sense, the shapeshifting insect not only did not run away, but stayed in place and directly faced the overwhelming raindrop attack.

The raindrops, after hitting its body, seemed to be absorbed by it and disappeared without a trace, while it remained perfectly disguised.

The Taoist-robed man was unaware that if he had thrown out a fireball talisman, the shapeshifting insect would have already revealed itself and fled. However, he used a water-attribute rain talisman, which meant the shapeshifting insect didn't need to run away at all, because these water-attribute raindrops couldn't cause it any harm.

Actually, it's not surprising that the Taoist-robed man was like this. After all, in his opinion, the person who attacked him must be a cultivator. Although he had concealed his figure so that he couldn't be detected, he would definitely need to dodge or defend against the wide-range attack of the Rainstorm Talisman.

Once the cultivator who launched the sneak attack makes a move, they will naturally be able to discover him and kill him to avenge their fourth brother.

Looking at the empty bushes, the man in the Taoist robe frowned, feeling very puzzled. He clearly saw the attack coming from that direction, but why couldn't he see anyone?

"Second brother, have you discovered something? Who killed fourth brother?" The gray-robed man on the other side asked at this moment.

The man in the Taoist robe frowned, shook his head, and said somewhat uncertainly.

"The fourth brother was killed by a sneak attack with ice spikes. I did see the attack come from that direction, but I didn't notice anything unusual when I attacked him... Could it be that the two of them placed the talismans beforehand?"

After some thought, the man in the Taoist robe could only come up with this explanation; otherwise, they would truly have seen a ghost!

"Hmph, that fourth brother is such a waste, all he knows is thinking about women. Otherwise, we would have snatched the spirit fruit long ago!" the gray-robed man sneered.

"Alright, now that Fourth Brother is dead, we don't need to worry about anything anymore. Let's just kill them and take the spirit fruit," the Taoist-robed man said coldly.

Suddenly, the woman with the lily-shaped bun had a sudden thought and shouted at the Taoist-robed man and his companions with a resolute expression.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll detonate the talisman and we'll all die here!"

After speaking, she even made a hand seal with her hands, as if she had really set up a talisman here.

Upon hearing this, the younger sister with her hair in two buns was taken aback. How come she remembered that her older sister had set up talismans here?

However, she wouldn't be foolish enough to voice her doubts directly. Although she hadn't been exposed to any scheming or intrigue since childhood, she was still a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator and possessed some intelligence.

Upon hearing this, the Taoist-robed men were startled and stopped in their tracks.

But just a moment later, the man in the Taoist robe guessed that the two were lying to them, so he put on a confident smile and took another step forward.

Upon seeing this, the sisters, whose hands were forming hand seals, changed their expressions slightly and shouted sternly.

"Don't move! If you move again, I'll really activate the talisman!"

"Haha, your little tricks might fool a child. If you really had talismans, would you have waited until now?" The Taoist-robed man laughed and took another step forward.

Seeing that the Taoist-robed man took two steps forward and the two sisters made no move but only threatened him verbally, the other three lost all fear and pounced on the two sisters.

The two women turned pale, and a look of despair rose in their eyes. However, in order to survive, they still controlled their magical weapons to attack the four of them.

However, there were only two of them, and the two magical artifacts could only hold off two of them, while the other two took the opportunity to rush in front of the two women.

"Die!" the gray-robed man growled menacingly.

Just as the magical weapon in the gray-robed man's hand was about to pierce the two women's bodies, a black light suddenly flew from nowhere, wrapped around the gray-robed man's neck, and his head rolled off to the ground in front of the two women's incredulous gazes.

Immediately afterward, they heard three more muffled thuds as heads hit the ground. The two women looked over in surprise and saw that the three men who had been full of murderous intent were now headless corpses lying on the ground, blood gushing from their severed necks.

The two girls had no idea what was happening, and the younger sister, with her hair in two buns, looked terrified.

However, her older sister was clearly more composed than her. Although a hint of fear appeared in her eyes, she quickly regained her composure and respectfully bowed.

"We don't know which senior came to our rescue. We, Yang Qingqi and my younger sister Yang Qinghan, express our heartfelt gratitude to the senior for saving our lives!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qinghan finally realized what was happening, and Yang Qingqi immediately bowed and thanked them.

However, Li Yunfan had no time to pay attention to the two of them at this moment, because the shapeshifting insect seemed to have sensed something and turned around to burrow into the bushes to escape.

However, having already learned of the insect's weakness, how could Li Yunfan let this spirit insect, which was about to be obtained, escape?

With a flicker of his body, he vanished from the mountaintop in an instant. When he reappeared, he was right in front of the fleeing Phantom Worm. Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand and unleashed the Purple Nether Heart Flame.

Sensing the intense heat emanating from the Purple Nether Heart Fire, the shapeshifting insect suddenly paused, its somewhat plump body turning around with lightning speed as it fled behind.

Li Yunfan's lips curled slightly, and with a flick of his finger, the Purple Nether Heart Flame burst forth, transforming into countless fire points that fell around the Illusionary Insect. As soon as the fire points landed, they quickly merged together, firmly surrounding the Illusionary Insect in the center.

"Sizzle!"

Seeing that it was surrounded by flames, the shapeshifter couldn't help but let out a shriek, a sound that was as unpleasant as a large rat.
