Chapter 0607: Throwing Knife Talisman

Chapter 0607: Flying Dagger Talisman

After confirming his situation, Qin Yun realized his predicament was dire.

"I wonder if Granny Ma can still protect me this time!" Qin Yun had been living comfortably in the Divine Armory City and didn’t want to leave.

Long Qiaofeng shook her head. "It’s uncertain. This isn’t something Granny Ma alone can decide, as it concerns the entire Divine Armory City!"

Qin Yun clenched his fists and cursed under his breath, "Those clans are downright vile, actually teaming up with the Herb Immortal Valley and the Crimsonflame Immortal Peak to deal with me!"

Especially the Herb Immortal Valley—they had seized his four Dao Artifacts, which infuriated him the most.

"I’ve made up my mind. I can’t just wait for them to come after me. I’ll fight back!" Qin Yun said coldly. "I’ll plan how to deal with the Herb Immortal Valley and reclaim my Dao Artifacts."

"Can you really do it alone? Even though you’re strong, facing the Herb Immortal Valley by yourself is still too weak. You’re way outmatched."

"If you were at the Martial King or Emperor Wu level, it might be possible. Don’t forget, sects like the Herb Immortal Valley have Demi-immortal experts."

Long Qiaofeng sighed deeply. There was little she could do about Qin Yun’s current predicament.

"The Herb Immortal Valley stole my four Dao Artifacts—they’ll pay dearly for this!" Qin Yun’s gaze hardened as he snorted. "Those rats are probably dissecting my Dao Artifacts as we speak!"

The mere thought set his blood boiling.

Long Qiaofeng’s heart trembled slightly. She knew full well what Qin Yun was capable of.

If Qin Yun was determined to take on the Herb Immortal Valley, they would undoubtedly suffer.

After all, Qin Yun was a Runesmith with the Flamefury Rune Soul. The Mystic Runes he crafted possessed devastating power.

"Qiaofeng, have you hunted any beasts recently?" Qin Yun asked.

"No Mystic Beasts—only a few spiritual beasts." Long Qiaofeng took out over a dozen beast carcasses from her storage bags and handed them to Qin Yun.

He stashed the spiritual beast remains and said, "Track the Long clan’s activities closely! The person who took my Dao Artifacts was from the Long clan. Try to gather information about him for me."

"That person holds a high position in our Long clan. I heard he has a talented son with a Profound Body who knows alchemy. He’s slightly older than Liu Chongsheng and is a rising star in the Herb Immortal Valley."

Long Qiaofeng said, "I’ll continue investigating that old man’s situation!"

"Good!" Qin Yun nodded and left the tent.

He pitched his own tent in the safe zone.

Plenty of clan lackeys noticed him and recognized him as Qin Yun, gathering around to watch.

Many shot Qin Yun venomous glares.

After setting up his tent, Qin Yun looked at the crowd outside and smiled. "I have Inferno Talismans here—King-grade Spirit Talismans. If you want them, you can trade me a hundred pounds of Mystic Beast Bones!"

The crowd buzzed in shock, trading uneasy glances.

Qin Yun added, "I possess the Flamefury Rune Soul. The Inferno Talismans I craft are extremely powerful—take my word for it!"

A single Inferno Talisman required two hundred merit points.

But with Qin Yun, it cost a hundred pounds of Mystic Beast Bones.

Slaying one Mystic Beast nets you at least two to three thousand pounds of bones. However, bones couldn’t be cashed in for merits or forged into talismans.

But Qin Yun was offering them!

This instantly caused a huge stir.

Disciples from the clan factions were fuming, never expecting Qin Yun to start doing business here.

"Want a mystical weapon? Trade me ten thousand pounds of Mystic Beast Bone!" Qin Yun chuckled. If he had ten thousand pounds of Mystic Beast Bone, he could refine quite a few things.

Since the Immortal Soldier Illusion Realm lacked other materials, demand for Mystic Beast Bone was even greater.

That Qin Yun could craft mystical weapons made everyone green with envy.

Soon, disciples started trading Mystic Beast Bone for Flamefury Runes with Qin Yun.

Over a dozen people traded with Qin Yun, allowing him to obtain more than a thousand pounds of Mystic Beast Bone.

Qin Yun processed the spiritual beast corpses Long Qiaofeng had killed into various spiritual talismans and weapons, then exchanged them with others for Mystic Beast Bone.

Mystic Beast Bone was essential for crafting Mystic Runes and weapons.

Mystic beasts were scarce—searching solo would take forever.

Over the years, hunters took down mystic beasts in small squads. After slaying a mystic beast, they divided the bones equally.

In two days flat, Qin Yun bartered for over ten thousand pounds of Mystic Beast Bone.

Soon, traders trickled to a stop.

Qin Yun shut his tent and got to work crafting weapons and talismans.

All this prep was for taking on the BlackClad Corps.

Tian Yaolei’s crew would be on high alert, making it hard to wipe them out.

To score fast, he’d have to hit the infamous BlackClad Corps.

Now Qin Yun was forging devastating talisman-weapons!

"This is my own creation—a totemic Mystic Rune weapon!" Qin Yun grinned as he looked at the fiery-red throwing knife in his hand.

He’d etched a fire totem and raging flame-patterned Mystic Runes onto a mystical throwing knife.

The Flamefury Rune Soul let him blaze through the fire totem carvings.

He’d forged twenty of these throwing knife talismans!

When hurled, it worked like a mystical weapon. Block or dodge it? Boom—instant explosion.

Fail to dodge? It’d slice through them and keep going.

That’s the beauty of talisman-weapons.

A regular Mystic Rune would just blow up on impact—messy and widespread.

Qin Yun’s knives packed all the boom into a pinpoint blast, making the blast hyper-focused and brutally lethal.

Any Spirit Martial Realm novice struck by these knives is dead meat.

Qin Yun looked at the twenty throwing knife talismans in his hand and grinned in satisfaction.

Later, he forged another set of armor.

It was built to withstand all kinds of explosions.

Recalling the attacks of the BlackClad Corps, which mostly involved firing large numbers of arrows—mostly fire-based—he realized the best way to counter fire was with fire itself. So he carved fire totems and star patterns right into it.

"It seems that in the future, when I craft artifacts, I should carve totem patterns into the equipment. This will make them even stronger!"

Qin Yun, looking at the armor he had forged, was struck with inspiration.

He stayed in his tent for several days while the outside remained strangely quiet.

"It's time to deal with the BlackClad Corps. If these twenty throwing knife talismans take down twenty BlackClad soldiers, that’s two thousand points!" Just thinking about it made him smirk.

When he emerged from his tent, he saw many people waiting for him outside.

"Qin Yun, do you still have any Raging Fire Talismans? They’re incredibly powerful! I used one against a corps and took out dozens!" a middle-aged man said.

"Not for now," Qin Yun replied with a smile. "Maybe later!"

The crowd groaned in disappointment and scattered.

Qin Yun was sure of the power of his Raging Fire Talismans, which was why they were so sought after.

News would get around fast, and soon his Raging Fire Talismans would blow up in popularity.

Then he could jack up the price.

It was evening now, and Qin Yun slipped away to meet Long Qiaofeng.

He learned that the major families had actually gone to the Medicine Immortal Valley and the Canghuo Immortal Mountain. However, they hadn’t arrived at the Immortal Soldier City yet—probably within a month.

Qin Yun planned to rack up more points in the coming days. If he truly couldn’t stay in the Immortal Soldier City, he would cash in for a Heaven-tier skill and bail.

Night fell.

Qin Yun quietly left the city, using his shadow power to drift through the air in one direction.

"I suspect the BlackClad Corps often goes after the top three on the Martial Arts Ranking," Qin Yun thought. "Could they exist to maintain balance in the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm?"

Though eliminating the BlackClad Corps would yield many points, few had ever succeeded in wiping them out.

Even Tian Yaolei, when he was ranked second, had been wiped out by them before.

Qin Yun drifted through the air until late at night, when he suddenly sensed a familiar yet terrifying presence.

The BlackClad Corps had appeared!

"Finally here?"

Qin Yun dove into the forest below and hid.

It wasn’t surprising that the BlackClad Corps could find him—after all, in this Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm, there existed something called a Tracking Talisman.

It's no surprise that the BlackClad Corps, as guardians of the Celestial Armory Illusion, have gear like this.

Moreover, every BlackClad soldier packs top-tier mystical weapons.

They're all long-range artillery—crossbows, cannons, the works—with serious firepower.

As before, the moment the BlackClad Corps appeared, they unloaded a barrage toward Qin Yun's location.

The night erupted with flaming arrows and cannon fire.

The explosions lit up the sky in a flash.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Arrows, bolts, and cannon fire turned Qin Yun’s position into a firestorm of explosions.

Qin Yun had been taken down twice by the BlackClad Corps before, so he was quite familiar with their strength.

This time, he came prepared, wearing specially crafted mystic-forged armor to withstand the violent explosions and intense flames.

Qin Yun raised his shield, blocking the sharp arrows flying toward him.

"Hell, even their arrows are lethal. This won’t be a cakewalk!"

Qin Yun cursed the BlackClad Corps inwardly.

He felt that the BlackClad Corps were total cheaters, armed with overpowered mystic artillery.

Soon, the first wave of attacks ended!

The members of the BlackClad Corps hovered midair, scanning Qin Yun’s spot, seemingly realizing he hadn't perished.

"My turn!"

Qin Yun immediately executed the Radiant Mirage of the Ninefold Steps, blitzing forward until he was less than a hundred meters away from the dozens of BlackClad Corps members.

At this distance, he could easily unleash his throwing knife talismans!

The BlackClad Corps members were utterly shocked. They never expected Qin Yun to survive that terrifying assault and cover ground that fast.
