I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

boom!
After a loud bang that shook the earth, Jiang Yanfeng's head and body exploded instantly, shattering into a bloody mud. Only a Nascent Soul several feet in size remained. Holding a storage magic weapon, he flew to the other side of the "corpse formation" in panic.

Under this tremendous force, the ground where it was located collapsed into a huge pit several feet deep.

However, the most dangerous situation has been avoided, and the current situation is also extremely favorable for Jiang Yanfeng!

At this critical moment, his [Cold Dragon Sword] finally flew behind Wei Tu a step late.

"Die, Wei Tu!" Jiang Yanfeng's Nascent Soul regained its composure and poured all his consciousness and magic power into the [Cold Dragon Sword], intending to kill the enemy in one go.

He was confident that without the help of [Phantom Scale Armor], Wei Tu would not be able to withstand the power of [Cold Dragon Sword], a seventh-level remnant treasure, even if he had reached the sixth-level body refinement.

The power of the laws contained in the seventh-level remnant treasure is enough to shatter the "true spirit immortal bone" of a sixth-level initial body cultivator!
However, a scene that Jiang Yanfeng never expected occurred.

Just when the [Cold Dragon Sword] was about to fall on Wei Tu's body, an "evil weapon" made of piles of white bones suddenly flew out of Wei Tu's body. Its evil aura was awe-inspiring, and after a slight tremor, the gray-white strange light it released easily blocked the huge sword energy of the [Cold Dragon Sword].

"A seventh-rank evil weapon?" Jiang Yanfeng's face changed instantly. He slapped his Nascent Soul's chest repeatedly, and spat out blood that fell on the [Cold Dragon Sword], trying to stimulate a little more sword power and completely cut off this extremely annoying "White Jade Bone Mountain".

I don't know if it was because of the extraordinary essence and blood, or because the power of this [Cold Dragon Sword] was inherently strong, but after being nourished by these few mouthfuls of Nascent Soul's essence and blood, the [Cold Dragon Sword] seemed to have increased its power several times. After a flash of blood, it actually cut off a part of the "White Jade Bone Mountain", eliminating a lot of its evil nature.

At this moment, the distance between the [Cold Dragon Sword] and Wei Tu's body was also advanced by several feet, and there was only a distance of less than a fist left.

All this seemed long, but in fact, it took less than half a breath from the time the self-defense diagram smashed Jiang Yanfeng's body to the time Jiang Yanfeng's Nascent Soul escaped and flew the sword to fight the enemy.

So - at this moment, when Jiang Yanfeng saw that the distance was only one punch away, he looked excited and encouraged, and did not think that Wei Tu could counterattack him again.

In fact, it does.

Wei Tu, who had used the evil weapon - [Juqiutai] in a critical moment, did not have many spiritual treasure cards left to play.

In order to increase the Blood-Winged Mok's chance of survival as much as possible and to delay Yi Tianqi's time, he not only lent the [Phantom Scale Armor] and Sky-Splitting Eagle to the Blood-Winged Mok temporarily, but also gave it all the defensive talismans in his hand to spend.

However, what surprised Jiang Yanfeng was that when Wei Tu saw the [Cold Dragon Sword] approaching, he not only did not show any panic or fear on his face, but he unexpectedly snorted coldly at this moment.

next moment.

He saw that in front of him, Wei Tu, who had just looked like a human, suddenly changed in size and turned into a horrible ghost with two horns on his head and purple skin.

A thick gray mist suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness. As it continued to spread and erode his soul, it also began to rob him of his control over the [Cold Dragon Sword].

"Ghost transformation secret technique, spell power?"

Jiang Yanfeng was horrified, and a look of pain immediately appeared on his Nascent Soul's face.

Because he discovered that the spiritual power that Wei Tu used to invade his sea of ​​consciousness was much stronger than his own in the late stage of refining emptiness, and was infinitely close to the peak of refining emptiness.

Ta-da! Ta-da!
In the fierce battle of souls and minds, the [Cold Dragon Sword] under his control was the first to reveal its "flaw" - although the control of the sword was still in his hands, after losing the precise control of his soul, it was extremely difficult for it to achieve success as before. Not only was it difficult to break through the obstruction of [Juetai] and kill Wei Tu on the spot, but under the tenacious counterattack of [Juetai], it showed signs of retreating step by step.

"No! It's fine that his spiritual consciousness is stronger than mine. But how could he...how could he still have the strength to split his soul and control the White Jade Bone Mountain at this moment?" Jiang Yanfeng's Nascent Soul showed a look of horror, and he looked in disbelief at the split soul of Wei Tu who was sitting on the [Juqiutai].

He didn't know that although Wei Tu's realm was not as good as his, he was much stronger than him in terms of the foundation of the secret arts.

"The Art of the Seven Pupils of the Nether Ding" is a powerful magical skill among ancient demons that can be ranked at the level of the Demon Ancestor.

Now, Wei Tu has only condensed two "Soul Cauldrons", and there is still a long way to go before all seven cauldrons can be gathered.

However, the "Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed" and "Hundred Weapons Ghost Clan Soul Pill" that he refined are all priceless treasures in the world of cultivation.

The Heavenly Ghost Soul Cauldron can greatly increase the strength of his soul, allowing him to break through levels and kill people.

The Hundred Weapons Soul Cauldron allows him to split into two souls when facing the enemy, and control the magical weapon with "one mind, three functions".

With the help of these two "Soul Cauldrons", Jiang Yanfeng, who is competing with Wei Tu in soul power at this moment, is no match for Wei Tu.

"Kill!" After entangled Jiang Yanfeng's soul, Wei Tu did not hesitate. He flipped his palm and sacrificed a silver-white talisman.

There was only a "rustling" sound.

The silver-white talisman trembled slightly, then quickly rose into the air, transforming into thousands of silver-white sword energies, and flashed towards Jiang Yanfeng's Nascent Soul.

"not good!"

Jiang Yanfeng suddenly became alert and quickly took out a defensive talisman from his storage device to fight the enemy.

However, with this movement, he was instantly at a disadvantage in the "soul battle" within his sea of ​​consciousness and was almost forced into a desperate situation by Wei Tu's gray mist.

He quickly came back to his senses and defended himself.

But at this time, countless silver-white sword qi from the "Secret Sword Talisman" were pouring down like crossbow arrows.

"No!" Before Jiang Yanfeng could even shout, his Nascent Soul was strangled by the sword energy, and his body and soul were destroyed.

The next moment, an astonishing spiritual tide exploded from within the corpse formation.

However, due to the obstruction of the "corpse formation", the spread of these spiritual tides did not alarm the cultivators from the two major families who were fighting thousands of miles away, nor did Yi Tianqi who was hunting down the Blood-Winged Mok.

"it is finally over."

Wei Tu, who was hiding behind the [Juqiutai], was completely relieved when he saw this scene.

Facing two powerful Void-Refining masters chasing him at the same time, it was impossible for him not to be nervous.

If Jiang Yanfeng is not dealt with quickly, once Yi Tianqi comes to help, he will almost certainly be killed.

Fortunately, he had a strong foundation, and within this quarter of an hour, he was lucky enough to get rid of Jiang Yanfeng.

And with the death of Jiang Yanfeng, another major enemy, Yi Tianqi, would undoubtedly be much easier to deal with.

"I hope that the Blood-Winged Mok can withstand Yi Tianqi's attack before I come back to help..." Wei Tu thought secretly after getting rid of the ghost state and swallowing a few healing elixirs.

Then, without wasting too much time, he flicked his sleeves, took away Jiang Yanfeng's storage magic tools and the lost [Cold Dragon Sword], then broke through the air and took off, chasing in the direction of the Blood-Winged Mok's escape.

……

same moment.

Holy Emperor Territory, the land of ancient saints.

Deep inside the mansion with a plaque reading "Tianyan Mansion" hanging on it, an old man in a purple robe with white hair and beard slowly opened his eyes while in meditation.

He turned his palm and looked at the broken "Soul Tablet" in his palm, and a gloomy look appeared on his face.

"Yan Feng is dead?"

The purple-robed old man murmured in a low voice.

Jiang Yanfeng's real name was "Jiang Feng". After he became a disciple of Tianyan Mansion, he added the character "Yan" to his name to represent his status as a direct disciple.

The two words "Yanfeng" meant that this boy was his disciple!

"I never thought that the Yu family would be so bold. They dared to kill my disciple." The purple-robed old man's face turned cold. He flicked his sleeves and opened the door of the retreat room with his magic power.

"Master."

"Master..."

Outside the door, several monks sitting on cushions saw this scene and bowed their heads in greeting.

"You all, follow me out, destroy the Yu family, and seek justice for your Junior Brother Yan Feng..."

The purple-robed old man gathered his sleeves and said this calmly.

In the world of cultivators, vendettas and killings, life and death are determined by fate. This is true for independent cultivators with no background, but it does not apply to cultivators like Jiang Yanfeng who have a clear master.

If he doesn't take revenge this time, other forces will certainly underestimate his combined power in the future.

"I will follow the Master's orders."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators in Tianyan Mansion suddenly showed a hint of surprise in their eyes, and they quickly bowed and agreed.

……

"Fairy, why bother insisting? As long as you are willing to surrender, there will be no difference between following Yi and following Wei Tu in the future."

After chasing the Blood-winged Mok for a quarter of an hour.

It was not difficult for Yi Tianqi, who used the golden bow and magic treasure to continuously attack and kill the Blood-Winged Monk, to determine that the Blood-Winged Monk was not Wei Tu's true body.

However, due to the protection of the [Phantom Scale Armor], and the help of the Sky-Splitting Eagle and various sixth-tier defensive talismans, and with the Blood-Winged Mok focused on escaping, it would be difficult for Yi Tianqi to completely resolve the battle in a short period of time.

Therefore, after fighting for a while, Yi Tianqi, in addition to continuous attacks, also chose to persuade the Blood-Winged Mok to surrender.

"Surrender? I do want to surrender, but... that Wei Tu has already left a soul mark on my soul."

The blood-winged mole that had transformed into a human form, Yin Hongtao, rolled her eyes secretly and thought to herself.

She was not absolutely loyal to Wei Tu.

If it weren't for the "soul seal control" of her master Wei Tu, she wouldn't mind changing to another master when she was in danger of life and death.

“However, if there is a choice, this cultivator… is still not as good as Wei Tu… At least, Wei Tu still has the hope of breaking through to the fusion stage, or even the Mahayana stage…”

Yin Hongtao took a long breath, flipped her jade palm, and swallowed a few healing pills to relieve the injuries in her body.

It was similar to the battle between Wei Tu and Yi Tianqi when he was in the Yu family’s territory.

Although [Phantom Scale Armor] can block most of the attacks from the golden bow magic treasure, the remaining damage continues to erode her body.

Fortunately, she is a descendant of the True Spirit, and her physical strength is no less than that of a sixth-level physical cultivator.

Otherwise, if he was really an ordinary person in the early stage of refining emptiness, fighting against Yi Tianqi, he would have died from Yi Tianqi's bone arrows long ago.

"Jiang Yanfeng is dead?"

At this moment, Yin Hongtao suddenly sensed that Wei Tu was contacting her through a communication device.

The huge pressure in her heart suddenly eased, and when she looked at Yi Tianqi, she no longer had the fear she had before.

"Tie this cultivator to your side... wait for the master to arrive, then we can kill him and take the treasure." Yin Hongtao's eyes flashed slightly, and she began to dodge deliberately, leading Yi Tianqi to the direction where Wei Tu was coming.

Just now, she was continuously attacked by Yi Tianqi's golden bow magic treasure. Although she suffered considerable injuries, it also aroused her greed for this precious treasure.

A powerful long-range attack magic weapon, its value is more than twice as valuable as an attack magic weapon of the same rank.

One man and one beast, one chasing and one escaping.

After chasing for more than ten breaths.

Yi Tianqi finally discovered something was wrong, and his spiritual sense sensed Wei Tu's arrival.

At this moment, the distance between Wei Tu and him was less than three hundred miles.

"Where is Jiang Yanfeng? Did he let Wei Tu escape?"

"No! If Wei Tu escaped, he would never come in my direction..."

"The only possibility is that Jiang Yanfeng is dead."

Yi Tianqi, who guessed the truth, suddenly changed his expression and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Now how to do?"

"Should we retreat or continue to attack?"

Yi Tianqi hesitated.

When he was at the Yu family's land, he had sensed that Wei Tu was not simple, so he invited Jiang Yanfeng to join him, and even leaked the information that Wei Tu might have the "inheritance" of the Xuanling Fairy...

Now, if he was the only one left, he naturally had no confidence in dealing with Wei Tu.

After all, in such a short time, Wei Tu had already killed Jiang Yanfeng.

And he knew Jiang Yanfeng's strength very well.

As a disciple of "Master Tianyan", he has the [Cold Dragon Sword], a seventh-level broken treasure, to protect his body. His strength is comparable to that of "peak of the void". Ordinary cultivators in the late stage of the void are no match for him!
but--

If you leave now.

How should he avenge his fellow Taoist priest?

Besides, now is also his best chance to seize Fairy Xuanling's inheritance. Once he retreats, with the intervention of powerful masters of the fusion stage and even Mahayana cultivators... Fairy Xuanling's inheritance will be cut off from him.

"No! No! The situation is very different now. Jiang Yanfeng is dead, so the news of his death will definitely be difficult to cover up..."

"It is very likely that his master, Master Tianyan, has already arrived here."

“So, let’s not talk about whether I can kill Wei Tu. Even if I can kill Wei Tu and steal the inheritance, there is no place for me to hide in this ancient sacred land…”

Yi Tianqi's mind raced, and he quickly figured out the drastic change in the situation after Jiang Yanfeng's death - he glanced at Wei Tu who was a hundred miles away, then his face showed determination, and he quickly fled without mercy.

After all, he had two purposes in hunting down Wei Tu.

One is for the inheritance of Fairy Xuanling.

The second was to avenge his wife's murder.

The former is almost impossible with the intervention of great masters like Tianyan.

And the latter...

With the intervention of great powers like Master Tianyan, and the addition of this "variable", it becomes inevitable!

There was no other reason. This conflict was almost impossible to have peace. Wei Tu would not obediently hand over the inheritance of the Xuanling Fairy. And the combined power also found it hard to believe that Wei Tu would really hand over all the inheritance and treasures related to the Xuanling Fairy.

The only possible outcome of this conflict is Wei Tu's death.

"The cultivators of the Yi family must also get a share. This is a great opportunity for me to reconcile with my family. Perhaps, I can also use this opportunity to gain a chance to break through and merge with my family..."

While Yi Tianqi was fleeing, he crushed the yellow jade plate with the word "Yi" engraved on it in his arms.

This jade token is his life-saving item, and also a one-time communication tool for him to communicate with the powerful combined power of his family. (End of this chapter)
