Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 77 Life or Death (10,000-word update, please subscribe)
Behind Shen Xuan.

On the river, towering waves surged, with water columns reaching tens of feet high.

Bai Xinghe was greatly alarmed.

Despite all the planning, Shen Xuan still managed to escape to the banks of the Longze River.

Surprised, he actually increased the speed at which he channeled his spiritual energy!

A massive, fiery dragon roared as it charged toward Shen Xuan.

This time, Bai Xinghe held back and went all out.

He knew it.

Shen Xuan's strength increased dramatically as he moved closer to the water source!

A smug smile suddenly appeared on Shen Xuan's face.

The Azure Water Sword sounded like a dragon's roar.

Water control technique!
Critical Strike!
Iron Bone Technique!
【The Art of Condensing Water to Transform a Sharp Edge】!
【Water Spirit Gathering Technique】!
Nine strange, blade-shaped fish leaped out of the dantian sea in an instant, joyfully merging into the Azure Water Sword, transforming into a dark, sharp, and terrifyingly malevolent ice dragon.

"break!"

Shen Xuan's Frost Dragon was noticeably larger, with a more solid body and a more aggressive appearance.

The enormous crimson fire dragon vanished instantly!
In the blink of an eye, it was completely destroyed by the Frost Dragon!

Bai Xinghe's eyes widened instantly.

Having lived for over a hundred years, he had never seen such powerful water magic!
It happened to a rogue cultivator who had just reached the Qi Refining stage!
Surprised, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned to run away!
Instinct told him that he could no longer do anything about Shen Xuan!

"It's not that easy to leave!"

Shen Xuan used his divine sense to drive it.

A massive, jet-black seal with a turbulent surface crashed down!

The sound of rushing water echoed continuously.

Countless water elemental energies, along with towering waves, filled the heavy water seal.

Heavy as a mountain, capable of overturning rivers and seas!

Bai Xinghe's heart sank.

"Shen Xuan, stop! Let's talk this out!"

He feigned fear and asked a question.

In reality, they are still secretly planning a counterattack.

With a flick of his right hand, a Fire Flag magic weapon appeared.

He swung his hand towards the heavy watermark.

A surge of crimson spiritual fire erupted instantly, seemingly burning everything around it!

The heavy watermark was blocked.

Seeing this, Bai Xinghe forcibly used his escape technique and flew rapidly in the opposite direction towards the Longze River.

however.

Before he could fly very far...

He then saw a streak of turquoise sword light fill his entire field of vision.

In the dim light, a blurry figure moved with the light, like a phantom, arriving in an instant.

"How brave!"

Bai Xinghe swung his hand back, relying on his intuition, and struck the Azure Water Sword fiercely.

There was a loud "boom".

The airflow is turbulent.

The two swords separated as soon as they touched.

Their respective dantian and internal organs were damaged by the shock.

However, Shen Xuan did not back down.

While using [Self-Healing Technique], he pressed closer and closer.

The sword light flashed like a rainbow, continuing its slash towards Bai Xinghe.

It was blocked by the opponent's Crimson Flame Sword once again.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged more than a dozen sword strikes.

A direct clash of spiritual power!

Each sword strike rebounded off the two men, exacerbating their injuries.

At this point, all techniques become ineffective.

It relies on the profound spiritual power and physical strength of both parties.

On the surface, Shen Xuan had the upper hand.

He kept attacking, while Bai Xinghe kept defending.

The sword flashed and the shadows blurred, a mere spark ignited in the blink of an eye.

In just a few breaths, the two exchanged dozens of sword strikes!

The two figures touched briefly and then separated.

Blood seeped from the corner of Shen Xuan's mouth.

His internal organs had been damaged by the sword energy!
If it weren't for the [Iron Bones] talent, which gives him a physical strength comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators, he would have exploded and died long ago.

Close-quarters combat like this, where spiritual power is used to fight.

This was Shen Xuan's first time facing someone like this before.

He always crushed his opponents with his strength, killing them in one move.

This was also his first injury.

The aura of death was ever-present, making Shen Xuan's heart pound and pound in his chest.

On the other side, Bai Xinghe wasn't in much better shape.

Blood was also seeping from his facial features.

Shen Xuan casually took more than ten exquisite photos of the "Rejuvenation Talisman".

Silently manipulate the [Self-Healing Technique].

Ignoring the recovery of his injuries, he continued to cast spells and attack.

At this point, he and Bai Xinghe were locked in a life-or-death struggle!
"disease!"

With the continuous replenishment of spiritual energy from the Dragon River behind him, Shen Xuan's Azure Water Sword struck like lightning, relentlessly launching attacks.

Water control technique!
Critical Strike!
Iron Bone Technique!
Self-healing technology!
The Art of Insight!
The five talents were used to their fullest potential.

Then, seizing an opening, he suddenly unleashed the [Overturning Sea Lightning Technique]!
Within the sword light of the Azure Water Sword, there was a faint, silvery-white arc of lightning.

Sure enough, the effect was obvious.

The Crimson Flame Sword's flight became less agile.

Bai Xinghe's movements would noticeably stiffen from time to time.

Time is short.

It may only be one-tenth of a breath.

However, the flow of spiritual energy was ultimately obstructed.

The speed of the Crimson Flame Sword is getting slower and slower.

When facing the Azure Water Sword, their decline gradually became apparent.

Bai Xinghe's reactions began to falter, and he nearly fell victim to the sword several times.

Seeing this, Shen Xuan suppressed his injuries and attacked frantically as if desperate. The roar of the Frost Dragon echoed continuously from the Azure Water Sword, pouring towards Bai Xinghe like a storm.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Bai Xinghe, bleeding from his face and appearing crazed, fought while rapidly retreating, trying to widen the distance between them.

However, Shen Xuan followed closely, blocking his path and forcing him to retreat towards Longze River, giving him no chance to escape.

Bai Xinghe was completely suppressed, and the pressure was increasing.

He was on the defensive, focusing all his attention on the Azure Water Sword, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

He was even more shocked.

Such an intense battle was too much for his body to withstand, and he was seriously injured.

Shen Xuan, who was in the Qi Refining Realm, had a physical body that was no less than his. He was also injured, but he still gritted his teeth and attacked desperately!
"Double watermark!"

Shen Xuan secretly activated the Heavy Water Seal, absorbing a large amount of water elemental power, and then smashed it down from the sky with tremendous force.

Although Bai Xinghe had the Fire Banner magic weapon for defense, his spiritual power couldn't keep up due to his severe injuries.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he used the Crimson Flame Sword to parry the Azure Water Sword and block the Heavy Water Seal.

However, the intensity of the heavy watermark exceeded his expectations.

puff!
The Crimson Flame Sword was bent and its flames dimmed by the heavy water seal!
Bai Xinghe's internal organs trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

Only then did the Crimson Flame Sword manage to recover some of its spiritual energy.

However, a bright blue light shone from Shen Xuan's Azure Water Sword, and nine strange, blade-shaped fish shot out.

Bai Xinghe was struggling to defend himself, and his protective aura kept cracking under the attacks of the Bladefish.

What is guarded against for too long will eventually be lost.

Under the relentless onslaught of the Chongshan Seal and the Biyue Sword, Bai Xinghe's protective spiritual shield could no longer hold, finally revealing a fatal flaw.

"Oh!"

Shen Xuan's Azure Water Sword Light contained the silvery-white [Overturning Sea Lightning], which made Bai Xinghe's whole body go numb, and his protective spiritual shield instantly dimmed.

At the same time, a seemingly tangible ice dragon roared and smashed through Bai Xinghe's protective spiritual shield, piercing his body and exploding a fist-sized blood hole in his chest.

This sword strike sealed the victory!

The wound on his chest, with its continuous bleeding, caused Bai Xinghe's spiritual energy to dissipate, making his movements increasingly sluggish and powerless. He could not keep up with Shen Xuan's pace in either offense or defense.

Bai Xinghe barely managed to withstand a few sword strikes.

Shen Xuan used the same trick again, incorporating the [Overturning Sea Thunder and Lightning] into the Azure Water Sword, severely injuring Bai Xinghe once more.

"Shen Xuan, stop! Let's talk this out..."

Bai Xinghe finally felt desperate and tried to beg for mercy.

But Shen Xuan didn't stop; instead, he attacked with all his might, piercing his throat with a sword.

Immediately afterwards, several dark spirit fish shot out from the Azure Water Sword, tearing his entire body to shreds.

Not only that.

The sword's momentum did not diminish as it circled Bai Xinghe's corpse once.

Bai Xinghe's corpse was instantly shredded into pieces by Shen Xuan's sword energy.

The head rolled to the ground, its face bleeding, its eyes wide open, filled with resentment, refusing to close.
