At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Li Lan had always adhered to the principle that he wouldn't act unless absolutely necessary, and when he did, he would leave no room for retreat.

He used his divine sense to control the sea urchin and short staff-shaped magical artifacts, launching a surprise attack from behind A'Hua.

Seeing that the opponent had also unleashed a magical artifact, Li Lan waved his hand, and a writing brush, entirely emerald green, was tossed into the air.

The soft white wolf hair transformed into streaks of white light, scattering downwards.

A'Hua instantly felt the connection between himself and his sleeve sword artifact being severed.

He was immediately alarmed.

Although he didn't know what was happening,

he still reacted extremely quickly.

He formed a hand seal, and without wind, waves rose beneath his feet.

Seawater gathered around him, forming a high, azure wall, blocking the two magical artifacts outside.

Although the waves couldn't completely destroy the two magical artifacts,

they did slow them down, buying A'Hua valuable time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity,

A'Hua silently chanted an incantation.

Another wave formed beneath his feet, carrying him gracefully away from the area.

Li Lan watched this scene, his face remaining expressionless.

However, he felt a slight sense of gravity in his heart.

Regardless of A'Hua's character and personality,

at least his understanding and application of spells,

was considered quite outstanding among the cultivators he had seen over the years.

As a cultivator who mainly practiced water-attribute techniques,

this sunny, dry jungle,

should have been an extremely unfavorable environment for him.

But A'Hua immediately used a talisman to change the terrain,

instantly turning weakness into strength.

Although he had the counterfeit Judge's Pen in hand, preventing the opponent from using magical artifacts,

A'Hua was, after all, at the seventh level of Qi Refining,

and with the aid of this suitable environment,

it would probably take some effort to subdue him in a short period of time.

Li Lan's gaze swept around from time to time, pondering a strategy in his mind.

A'Hua seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said with a sneer:

"The talisman I used to seal the White Snake's Spitting Torrent technique is of the upper grade of the second rank, and the range it covers is much wider than your broken formation.

Junior Brother Li, if you know what's good for you, you should quickly surrender.

For the sake of being fellow disciples, I might consider leaving you a complete corpse."

Li Lan ignored the other party's sarcasm.

He looked up at the White Snake in mid-air, still spewing seawater.

His divine sense flickered slightly.

The short staff-shaped Panlong Heaven-Shaking Bone immediately changed direction and rushed towards the snake's head.

A'Hua couldn't help but sneer at the sight.

"Junior Brother Li, do you really think that the magical artifact your master bestowed upon you is anything good?

This mere middle-grade first-rank magical artifact, you dare to show it off in front of me?"

With that, he waved his hand.

The white snake immediately turned its head, and the seawater it spewed doubled.

Even if it didn't contain any magical power,

the ordinary seawater, with its water pressure alone, still suppressed the Panlong Heaven-Shaking Bone.

Seeing that this magical artifact no longer posed a threat,

A'Hua ignored it.

He turned his head and looked at the counterfeit Judge's Pen in mid-air,

his eyes gleaming with undisguised greed.

"Junior Brother Li, you seem to have been keeping a low profile all these years, but the treasures in your hands are no less than mine, Senior Brother.

What's the origin of this thing?

It can instantly seize my magical artifact.

Even at Master's place, I have never seen such methods."

A'Hua appeared very calm on the surface,

subtly applying psychological pressure to the other party.

Although he hated Li Lan to the core,

he showed remarkable patience.

Before figuring out the other party's cultivation realm and methods,

A'Hua didn't rush to act rashly.

Li Lan remained silent,

his eyes flickering for a while.

He raised his hand and threw two Entangling Vine techniques towards A'Hua,

then activated the Dust Mist Concealment technique to hide his figure.

Finally, he attached a Swift Steps Talisman to himself, quietly retreating into the distance.

Seeing that the other party was still using some basic techniques, A'Hua's sarcasm deepened.

A rogue cultivator without support was naturally incomparable to an outer disciple like him who was highly valued.

A'Hua formed a hand seal,

and a ball of spray once again rose beneath his feet.

Standing on the spray, his speed suddenly doubled.

He easily dodged the oncoming Entangling Vines,

bypassed the constantly spreading dust,

and easily discovered Li Lan, who was fleeing behind.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Li, look at you, why are you so disheveled?

You're only thinking about running away, don't you even want your magical artifact anymore?"

A'Hua's gaze glanced at the counterfeit Judge's Pen,

He obviously didn't understand why the other party was willing to throw such a treasure away.

Even cutting off one's tail to survive wouldn't be this extreme, right?

How would he know,

that although this counterfeit was not a magical treasure, it was also refined according to the characteristics of a magical treasure.

After being carefully tempered by a cultivator, it already possessed three-tenths of the charm of a magical treasure.

As long as the original owner wasn't dead, it would automatically fly back to his hand after exceeding a certain distance.

A'Hua arrived behind Li Lan in an extremely short period of time.

Because he was wary of the other party's cunning, he didn't get too close.

Instead, he silently chanted an incantation.

Li Lan took everything into his eyes, his heart sinking slightly.

Although he used the Wonderful Brush Creates Dragon technique to successfully seal the other party's ability to fly with a sword,

A'Hua, who mainly cultivated water-attribute techniques, was increasing his speed instead of decreasing it on this temporarily created water surface.

It was even much faster than flying with a sword.

For a time, Li Lan found it difficult to shake him off.

Just as he was thinking about it,

a wave suddenly rolled up in front of him.

A faint blue line quickly formed in front of him,

Li Lan, caught off guard, was about to crash into it head-on.

His heart suddenly tightened.

With a wave of his hand, the Blood Drop Bead magical artifact was thrown out.

The faint blue line didn't seem to have any power,

The Blood Drop Bead passed through it directly without any resistance.

On the surface, this also seemed to be ordinary water.

But after a while,

Li Lan was stunned to find that the divine sense and magical power he had attached to the magical artifact suddenly disappeared.

The Blood Drop Bead also stopped spinning,

and then suddenly shattered into countless pieces like a broken mirror.

Li Lan's pupils shrank slightly at the sight.

Magical artifacts were all products carefully refined by cultivators, specifically for fighting.

The degree of hardness was naturally needless to say.

However, now, in just one encounter,

it was instantly cut into several pieces by this water line.

How could he not be surprised?

Li Lan wanted to take back his strength, but it was already too late, and he crashed directly into the faint blue water line.

A'Hua was overjoyed at the sight.

"Hehe, this Profound Water Thread is his old man's housekeeping skill,

Junior Brother Li, you can die under this technique, it can be considered that you have not lived in vain."

However,

before he could be happy for too long.

The smile on his face froze again.

Although 'Li Lan' crashed into the water line head-on, his body was torn into several pieces.

But not a single drop of blood spurted out.

A'Hua immediately reacted.

What was torn apart was just an empty shell.

This is, the Demonic Path's Human Chrysalis Technique!

This guy is indeed a demonic cultivator!
