Yuan Ming had now fully grasped the essence of the black sword qi and no longer panicked as before. While retreating backward, he flung his hand and released four Thunder Talismans in one breath. At the same time, a black needle shadow shot out from his sleeve, vanishing in a flash.

Half of the high-grade talismans Yuan Ming had purchased in Xiaohu City were Thunder Talismans, chosen for their effectiveness against soul cultivators. Now, he used them all at once.

Amidst the thunderous roars, four thick thunder dragons emerged, striking the black sword qi.

The black sword qi, formidable as it was, couldn't withstand the combined strike of the four Thunder Talismans and dissipated into a wisp of blue smoke with a sizzle.
