Chapter 273 Sword Pointing to the Mountain Peak, Eerie Gale

Numerous cultivators and immortals stared in disbelief at the staircase leading to the next level of the immortal mountain.

"How...how is this possible? A cultivator at the Qi Refining stage was actually killed by that scoundrel with a single sword strike?"

"My goodness, am I seeing things?"

A collective gasp of astonishment rang out from the crowd.

They immediately stopped and dared not fly any further.

Because the cultivators in the front row stopped so hastily, the people behind them almost bumped into each other.

Fortunately, there was enough space in mid-air, so the group didn't bump into each other and cause any comical incidents.

the other side.

After Yu Que drew his White Ridge Sword and easily killed the Qi Refining cultivator, his face lit up with joy, and he chanted:

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for testing my sword!"

His voice was clear and sharp, and the white-spine sword in his hand constantly emitted a clanging sound, humming and trembling.

At the same time, a voice filled with shock, anger, and fear emanated from the mind of the Qi Refining cultivator:

"Impossible, impossible, ahhh!"

It was the soul of the cultivator who had refined qi. It jumped out, looking at its predicament in disbelief, completely unable to believe that it had become a dead soul under Yu Que's sword.

Upon hearing Yu Que's long cry, the other party was utterly devastated.

But before the person could grieve too much, Yu Que suddenly released a beam of spiritual light, which landed on the other person.

The man's roar abruptly ceased, and his body, forged through countless trials, vanished from the spot.

Yu Que took advantage of the moment when he killed the other party to bring him into his inner world.

As soon as the opponent's soul entered the inner world, it was immediately suppressed by the entire inner world, and crow fire rushed up to refine its soul, in order to prepare for Yu Que to refine this person into a god general later.

And in the outside world.

After sheathing his sword, Yu Que turned his gaze to the other two Refining Qi Immortals, his eyes filled with anticipation.

In just one exchange, he used the Taibai True Fiend to break through the opponent's protective aura, proving his magical power.

Now is the time to finish off the remaining two, collect their souls, and enslave them as ghosts and gods!

When the two immortals saw Yu Que's delighted gaze, they were so frightened that they almost lost their souls: "Where did such a fierce person come from? His mere evil aura can actually break through our protective energy."

"Could this person be a reincarnated immortal?!"

The two, their faces pale, huddled together and hurriedly sent out their divine senses:
"Fellow Taoist, wait!"

"We were wrong today. Please give us a chance to atone for our sins."

They spoke eloquently, immediately listing a whole host of benefits, and even added a weak threat:

“We are all direct disciples of the Central Plains Dao Palace, and also superiors on True Lord Island. Fellow Daoist, why don’t you make peace with us?”

"If you spare me, I am willing to offer all the spiritual materials I have, and I am also willing to serve you as my master in this immortal mountain."

Yu Que overheard their threats and inducements.

His smile widened, and he uttered a classic line he had read in a storybook:
“As a result, your possessions and even your souls will belong to Xu and be used by Xu.”

Zheng!
The sword light was chilling, and it immediately flew out of his hand, splitting in two in mid-air, both rushing towards the two Qi Refining cultivators.

The two cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and their wary gazes instantly turned fierce.

The two locked eyes, communicating telepathically, and each let out a sharp shout:
"You scoundrel! You've gone too far!"

"Even if you possess true evil spirits, how can you be sure you can finish us off!"

With a whoosh, the household gods within them flew out, changing formations in mid-air and instantly forming a ghost formation.

Several magical artifacts immediately flew out from their hands, protecting them securely. They also pulled out several talismans.

But before they could finish their preparations, Yu Que's sword energy had already rushed towards them.

Suddenly, the roars of ghosts and gods rang out.

The two immortal spirits fell under Yu Que's sword energy and were instantly scattered, powerless to fight back.

However, this was not because Yu Que used more magic power, but because although the two immortals in front of him were cultivators of Qi Refining, they were not particularly powerful cultivators of Qi Refining.

The ghosts and spirits they bound were not even powerful deities; each one possessed a weak aura, almost equivalent to a high-ranking evil spirit, making them utterly incompetent.

After dealing with the opponent's ghost spirit, Yu Que swung his sword at the two of them again, and the sharp sword energy rushed straight towards them, landing on their heads.

This terrified the two immortals, who almost lost control of their ghost formation.

Fortunately, the two managed to unleash the ghost formation together, and a large group of howling ghosts, emitting billowing black energy, spread within a radius of a thousand feet.

The two celestial spirits then appeared on the surface of the body, each exuding a majestic aura and growing to be several tens of feet in size.

They roared and attacked separately, one bare-handed and the other wielding a spear and a longsword, rushing towards Yu Que from four directions.

Faced with their combined attack, Yu Que showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was even more excited.

Holding the White Ridge Sword, he immediately charged forward, swarming towards the two colossal Yin spirits like a flying ant, and then unleashed two sword strikes at each of them:

"cut!"

He exhaled and drank deeply.

Suddenly, a silver moon appeared above the three of them, with streaks of silvery light falling down from it, like moonlight.

Every ray of moonlight carried a chilling killing intent.

After it landed in the ghost formation set up by the two immortals, it first killed and scattered the ghostly spirits protecting them, and then struck their spirits.

Two cries of pain immediately rang out from the immortals.

"Impossible! Impossible!"

"You are merely condensing evil energy; how could you possibly damage our golden bodies?"

Unbelievable sights and sounds once again appeared on the faces of the two immortals.

Yu Que was floating in mid-air, looking at the two people groaning under his sword, his face full of pleasure.

He lightly flicked the white-spine sword in his hand, muttering to himself:

"As expected, it is a lineage of immortals. After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, my magic power and swordsmanship are enough to suppress ordinary cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, even when fighting two against one."

Furthermore, Yu Que has only been testing his sword so far and has not used all his magic power.

He only used 70% of his magical power.

Suddenly, the two immortals who were screaming in agony, after their souls had left them terrified, looked at each other and found that there was no fighting spirit in each other's eyes, only fear.

So, in a flash, the two turned their backs, abandoning even the ghosts around them, and immediately fled into the distance.

However, although Yu Que was sighing just now, it wasn't that he wasn't paying attention to the two of them.

Even as he made his move, the four guardian deities had already circled around and blocked their escape route. The two immortals hadn't even escaped a hundred feet before they were blocked by the guardian deities.

Looking at the six Ding and six Jia in front of them, they immediately tried to drive them away, but the guardian deities were not comparable to their ghosts and gods.

A powerful surge of magic power erupted, and the four divine generals withstood the opponent's spells, cornering them.

Yu Que stood behind the two of them, turning his head to look left and right.

He didn't chase after them, but instead shook the white-spine sword in his hand violently.

Then, with a whooshing sound, the White Ridge Sword flew out swiftly like a snake, breaking through the protective aura behind them one after another, forming a long, swirling chain that pierced through the two figures in mid-air.

The expressions on the two immortals' faces froze instantly. They lowered their heads with difficulty, looking at the thing that had pierced through their chests, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Before they could say anything more, the White Ridge Sword swayed gently, and the two men's bodies were easily torn into pieces like rag dolls.

Both of them were typical immortals from the Central Plains. Although their physical bodies were not bad, they were much more fragile compared to cultivators, so they couldn't even leave behind a complete corpse.

However, their souls far surpass those of cultivators.

After the two lost their physical bodies, their spirits leaped out of their bodies, and their respective ancestral temples unfolded, shimmering with light.

They immediately rekindled their spiritual light and frantically fled into the distance. Even the inner world's power of absorption that Yu Que had just unleashed and landed on the two souls was resisted by them.

This situation surprised Yu Que slightly.

However, he was only slightly taken aback.

Without him having to make another move, the guardian deities had already stepped forward together and handcuffed the two celestial spirits, preventing them from escaping too far.

When the guardian deities brought them back, the two men, perhaps knowing they had no chance of survival, both began to curse loudly:
“That brat is really ruthless; she even managed to capture my soul.”

"You surnamed Xu, one day you'll end up like this!"

Yu Que listened to the two men's shouting and cursing, but instead of feeling angry, he found it quite amusing.

"Even immortals who refine qi are just as pathetic when faced with death."

He shook his head and spoke, a hint of disappointment showing in his eyes.

It is said that even the weakest or newly promoted cultivators are only one step away from becoming immortals.

Originally, in Yu Que's mind, such beings were often powerful figures in one region, with profound knowledge and influence in one's sect, and were unattainable immortals.

Unexpectedly, he now possesses three Refined Soul Essences.

This was truly unbelievable and a pleasant surprise to him.

"Once these three are properly prepared, the number of my Six Ding and Six Jia will increase, which will help me to better seek opportunities in the immortal mountains!"

Do it when you think of it.

Yu Que immediately sat cross-legged in mid-air, immersing his mind in the inner world within his body, and began to refine the divine general.

As for the outside world, he only left two newly refined divine generals as a guard.

Furthermore, since the two divine generals were still hidden, to outsiders it appeared as if he had just finished a magical battle and was greatly exhausted, so he had to sit cross-legged on the spot to quickly recover his strength.

Even though Yuque's surroundings looked empty, the immortal cultivators who were spying on this place were all terrified and dared not even think of coming over to take advantage of the situation.

They continued to retreat, fearing that Yu Que might get carried away with the killing and catch up with them, killing them all as well.

Fortunately, Yu Que did not pay any attention to them until they had retreated more than thirty miles away, a full hundred miles.

These Qi Condensation cultivators breathed a sigh of relief:

"What a formidable character!"

"Where in the world has such a person appeared? Could he be a hidden true disciple of one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects?"

Many people have come up with various speculations about Yu Que's identity, and they are all talking at once, discussing it endlessly.

Amid the restless crowd, only the Huangshan disciples on the periphery remained silent, their eyes burning with fervor as they gazed at Yu Que, who was meditating.

Others may not know the origin of this "Xu Youzhi," but they know it all too well.

If Yu Que hadn't not taken the initiative to greet them, they would have already been eager to go forward and pay their respects.

Even though Yu Que did not acknowledge them, the disciples of Huangshan still felt honored.

Several hours passed quickly.

Yu Que leisurely opened his eyes.

With the two divine generals bestowed upon him by his master as a foundation, he could easily refine even divine generals at the Refining Qi level, and his speed was truly swift.

With a slight smile on his lips, Yu Que waved his hand, and seven guardian deities appeared before him in an instant.

Although these seven divine generals were of different qualities, and two of them were only at the Condensation of Evil Realm, not the Refining of Qi Realm, their combination gave Yu Que a great sense of security.

Even though he has now opened up his inner world and his magic power is almost perfect, and the power of Taibai Zhensha is extremely strong, having more divine generals under his command would still be a great help.

Yu Que examined the divine generals for a while and commented, "The two that Master refined are still the best."

After giving a brief comment, he swiftly stored the divine general into his sleeve.

Then he stood up and looked up at the fourth level of the immortal mountain.

Now that his cultivation level has been tested and his spoils have been counted, it's time for him to strive for the top and head to the upper part of the immortal mountain to compete for some opportunities.

Yu Que smiled and bowed to the cultivators and immortals dozens of miles away who dared only to linger and not speak loudly.

Then, in full view of everyone, he took off and flew towards the fourth level of the immortal mountain.

Its elegant form and profound aura made it seem as if it were ascending to heaven.

Everyone looked up, their eyes sparkling as they gazed upwards.

Only after Yu Que's figure completely disappeared into the fragments of the stairs did they come to their senses and leave in scattered groups.

..............................

After crossing the third level, Yu Que did not linger on the fourth level and quickly flew towards the next level of the immortal mountain.

After reaching the fifth floor, he did not stop and continued to fly to even higher floors.

As he ascended, he forged ahead, advancing all the way to the eighth level of the immortal mountain, where the top was covered by a dense gale.

According to everyone's speculation, once they pass through this layer of gale-force winds, the summit of the immortal mountain lies behind it, which is also the most abundant and precious place in the entire immortal mountain.

Upon arriving here, Yu Que originally thought that with his power to slay three Qi Refining cultivators, he would be able to withstand the gale and escape into the ninth level.

Before he even came into contact with those powerful energies, a chill ran through him.

It seems that even if he possessed the Taibai True Fiend, if he recklessly entered, he would still end up with nothing but bones.

Moreover, Yu Que was not the only one present at the scene.

Near the mountain steps, which are about a hundred feet in circumference, there are as many as a hundred immortal cultivators, and quite a few of them are Qi Refining cultivators.
