So Shi Jiu made up his mind in a flash: since this person was prepared to endure his attack to charge up the azure gourd's ultimate move,
Then he absolutely couldn't disappoint the other party's "good intentions." He would hit this person with a ruthless move he had never seen before.
If his ruthless move didn't work, then there was nothing more to say; Shi Jiu would immediately turn and leave.
As for whether to completely escape or wait for an opportunity from afar, that would depend on the actual situation at the time.
Thus, Shi Jiu's magical power surged within him as he rushed towards the "Big Brother" Cultivator, and as the magical power flowed into the tip of his left index finger, a grey light gradually brightened—it was his "Falling Star Finger," which he had painstakingly practiced for a long time!
The "Big Brother" Cultivator saw that Shi Jiu didn't release Five Elements Spells from afar as he had before, but instead rushed over rapidly, as if he hadn't seen that he was already protected by the power of three layers of Earth Armor Talismans, intending to engage in close combat with him.
Although he felt slightly strange in his heart, he still believed that with Shi Jiu's strength, it would be impossible to break through his three layers of Earth Armor Talismans' protection.
However, his gaze swept downwards, and he suddenly noticed that a grey light seemed to brighten on the left index finger of the person in front of him, which then pointed towards his chest.
This immediately caused a ripple of trepidation in the "Big Brother" Cultivator's heart, fearing it was some inexplicable strange move.
"Falling Star Finger!"
Shi Jiu let out a low cry.
However, in the "Big Brother" Cultivator's eyes, when the grey light touched the Earth Armor Talisman in front of him, there was no change at all; it seemed like an ordinary move.
The Earth Armor Talisman in front of him glowed slightly, easily blocking the opponent's seemingly fierce move.
After pointing out the finger, Shi Jiu didn't check the attack's effect. Instead, he gave a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, quickly flipped several times, moved far away from where the "Big Brother" Cultivator was, and then stood still gently in the distance.
The "Big Brother" Cultivator saw Shi Jiu suddenly run so far away and couldn't help but think:
It seems this kid has exhausted all his tricks, trying to put on a brave front and interrupt my spellcasting rhythm. How foolish.
He still underestimates the defensive power of three layers of Earth Armor Talismans. As expected, he lacks combat experience. Once I finish casting my spell, I'll send this kid to meet King Yama instantly.
At this moment, the "Big Brother" Cultivator's incantation was also ready. The mouth of the azure gourd lit up, emitting a dazzling green light.
Thinking of his gourd treasure's Divine Ability, he seemed to have already foreseen Shi Jiu being struck by the gourd Magical Artifact and pulverized.
Just as he was aiming the gourd's mouth at Shi Jiu with a sinister grin, he suddenly found that the magical power within his body could not be mobilized at all.
He hurriedly used his Divine Thought to inspect his Meridians and was shocked to discover that his major Meridians were, at some unknown time, filled with a large amount of grey, brown, and black substances. How could he possibly mobilize any magical power?
"This... what is this? Could this be Star Impurities? How can I have so many Star Impurities in my body?!
It was you, that finger you just used, that injected so many Star Impurities into my body! You... are you a Disciple of the Seven Luminaries Sect? How is that possible!"
The "Big Brother" Cultivator was terrified. He had thought it was a fat sheep delivered to his mouth, but instead, he had encountered a fierce tiger. This kid opposite him was actually suspected to be a Disciple of the powerful Seven Luminaries Sect.
His brother and he had certainly kicked an iron plate this time. But in his shock and doubt, his mind was already in disarray; otherwise, he should have realized that there was no Disciple of a major Sect like the Seven Luminaries Sect who would travel outside without even a suitable Magical Artifact.
And the gourd Magical Artifact he had been charging for a long time also seemed to have its spiritual energy disturbed by Shi Jiu's Falling Star Finger. The dazzling green light at the mouth of the gourd flickered a few times and then extinguished.
At this point, he no longer had the courage to fight Shi Jiu.
Even with impending doom, he couldn't even bother with his younger brother, who was still firmly trapped and unable to move within the Earth Trapping Talisman. Taking advantage of his Earth Armor Talismans still being effective, he desperately fled into the distance.
However, even with three layers of Earth Armor Talismans on him, his defense was frighteningly high, but his speed was much slower than usual. Shi Jiu easily caught up. Looking at the person's fleeing back, Shi Jiu just sighed softly:
"In your next life, don't reincarnate as a bandit."
With that, he pointed another finger, but this time it was no longer the left index finger that had just glowed with grey light, but the right index finger covered in a dark blue light.
"Falling Star Finger!"
The "Big Brother" Cultivator's body, covered with three layers of Earth Armor Talismans, was suddenly pierced from the back of his head to his forehead by Shi Jiu, like a piece of Waste paper. It was a direct xuyên through.
In the round hole on his head, mesmerizing dark blue light flickered, but he himself could no longer appreciate it.
The "Big Brother" Cultivator seemed to have never expected, even until his death, why he was pierced by a single finger from the person behind him, despite having three Earth Armor Talismans on him and his defense being so astonishingly high.
Could it be that there was such a huge gap in Spells between Disciples of major Sects and Loose Cultivators like himself?
As his consciousness gradually faded, he could no longer ponder any more content, his eyes wide with disbelief, losing his breath.
Shi Jiu slowly landed at this moment. He was actually very satisfied with his two fingers just now.
Shi Jiu truly hadn't expected the power of the Falling Star Finger to be so immense. The Star Impurities from his left index finger could actually render a Qi Refining seventh level Cultivator unable to mobilize any magical power for a short period.
The Star power from his right index finger could actually pierce through three layers of Earth Armor Talismans' protection with a single strike, and it even seemed to have some power left over.
However, it was also thanks to this "Big Brother" Cultivator who thought his defense was extraordinarily high and fled for his life regardless.
But his speed wasn't agile enough, giving him the chance to easily use the Falling Star Finger, hitting the opponent's head with one strike and killing him.
Shi Jiu didn't linger. Seeing that the "Big Brother" Cultivator had already died, he excitedly used his magical power to roll up the Storage Pouch at his waist.
Without time to check it, he flicked his finger, releasing a small fireball, which instantly burned the person's corpse into ashes.
Immediately after, Shi Jiu didn't wait for the flames to burn out. He formed a hand seal and flew away with the wind in the opposite direction, as there was still a heavily injured Cultivator trapped by his Earth Trapping Talisman not far away.
He still remembered that the person had been fed a few Medicinal Pills by his accomplice, and perhaps he had recovered a little strength and was struggling to break free from the Earth Trapping Talisman's binding.
However, when Shi Jiu returned, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The Cultivator still had his eyes tightly closed, and his body and limbs, controlled by the Earth Trapping Talisman, showed no movement. It seemed that due to his severe injuries and lack of prompt recuperation, he was barely clinging to life.
Gently wiping his slightly sweaty forehead, Shi Jiu intended to walk over, but after a moment's thought, he did not approach.
He stood far to one side, thinking of using his magical power to remotely retrieve the Storage Pouch from the person's waist, and then, like he had dealt with the "Big Brother" Cultivator's corpse, burning it with a small fireball.
However, before the fireball could reach the person, the "Younger Brother" Cultivator, who had been lying with his eyes tightly closed, seemingly unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, he opened his mouth, and a ray of essence light shot out, aiming directly at Shi Jiu's glabella.
