Cultivation: I can see the proficiency level

The standoff lasted only a moment before Bian Zemin made his move.

The talismans were arranged in front of Bian Zemin, radiating spiritual light. The talismans, activated by the magic power, transformed into thick fire snakes, carrying intense heat, and rushed towards Bai Jiuniang and Wang Mian.

The fiery snakes coiled and burned, instantly drying even the lush green grass and curling up the withered wormwood.

Wang Mian felt a wave of heat rush towards him as Bai Jiuniang carried him away from his original spot. Bai Jiuniang used her speed to the extreme, dodging left and right with him.

Every time the fire snake pounced, Bai Jiuniang always managed to dodge at the last second.

The fire serpent could only futilely smash into the open space behind Bai Jiuniang, making a series of explosions, sending mud and rocks flying, grass roots flying everywhere, and the relatively flat ground was blasted into large craters.

Seeing that the Fire Serpent Talisman had failed, Bian Zemin reached into his storage bag again, and another stack of talismans appeared in his hand.

After dodging the Fire Serpent Talisman, Wang Mian was unwilling to give him another chance to use talismans, so he took out the Water Sword Talisman from his storage bag, which was comparable to a full-force attack from a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

He channeled his magic power to activate it, and the talisman transformed into several solid magic swords, radiating an exceptionally sharp aura. These water sword talismans, poised to strike, locked onto Bian Zemin from afar.

"Water sword talisman?"

Upon seeing the proud talisman he had created, Bian Zemin was only surprised for a moment before he understood the whole story and became furious.

The smugness he felt a few days ago from selling talismans now turned into a slap in the face.

You scoundrel!

What audacity!

How despicable!

Bian Zemin never imagined that the talisman he had created would one day be used against him.

After a moment's thought, he quickly made up his mind and threw the few explosive talismans in his hand at Wang Mian.

He took out another stack of Xuanjia talismans and activated them. In the blink of an eye, the sharp sword transformed from the water sword talisman shattered the fiery talismans and headed straight for his face.

Cast Shield Armor.

The power of that strike, imbued with the full force of the fifth level of Qi Refining, was poured onto him, shattering one Xuanjia talisman after another, and even breaking through the spells, until it was stopped by the spiritual light of the protective magic artifact.

The immense power struck Bian Zemin, causing him to stagger backward until he finally slammed into a stone wall to regain his balance, leaving him looking somewhat disheveled.

"You bastard, using my talisman to attack me, utterly shameless!" Bian Zemin cursed angrily.

The cursing had barely begun.

Two more earthen-yellow dragons rushed in from the left and right; they were the dragons transformed from the earthen dragon talisman.

In an instant, it reached Bian Zemin and crashed into the spiritual light shield formed by the jade pendant, a protective magical artifact at his waist.

A deafening roar erupted, and rocks shattered.

Rocks of varying sizes crumbled and flew far away in an instant, knocking down trees and causing vegetation to wither.

"You old dog, you're talking nonsense. We've settled all outstanding debts. How could I be shameless?" Wang Mian retorted.

As the dust settled, Bian Zemin, still somewhat dizzy from the impact, propped himself up amidst the eggshell-shaped spiritual light. Behind him lay the rock wall, damaged by the talisman, which had carved out a huge, deep crater.

next moment.

Bai Jiuniang gathered her demonic power, and countless thin blades, like bamboo leaves, cut through the air with a sharp sound, striking Bian Zemin's protective magic weapon like raindrops.

Like rain hitting the surface of water, the spiritual light emitted by the jade ritual object created dense ripples and vibrations.

Wang Mian's long sword flashed like a rainbow, unleashing streaks of sword energy that pierced the spiritual light of Bai Jiuniang's protective magic weapon with a screeching sound. He fled after his attack, but Bai Jiuniang suddenly attacked again.

They exchanged words back and forth, their understanding unwavering.

Amidst such a dense barrage of attacks, Bian Zemin felt as if he were a ball, being bounced around repeatedly, and he could only unleash seven or eight out of ten of his magical power.

The protective amulet's spiritual light flickered, like a candle flame in the wind.

Wang Mian took out seven or eight more offensive talismans and threw them at Bian Zemin, giving Bai Jiuniang an opportunity to build up her strength. The talismans exploded one after another, and their spiritual light was already showing signs of extinguishing.

The man and the dog showed no mercy, and their battle, lasting only half an incense stick's time, was already on the verge of life and death.

"Damn scoundrel, how could you force me to this point?" Bian Zemin, whose magic power was rapidly depleting, felt a sense of crisis. He immediately stopped holding back and took out a crimson-gold talisman.

excitation.

Streaks of golden energy condensed out of thin air, transforming into sharp spears that aimed directly at Bai Jiuniang as she attacked.

"Ninth Sister, get out of the way!"

When Wang Mian saw Bian Zemin take out that talisman, he knew something was wrong. Its power was comparable to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and Bai Jiuniang was definitely no match for it.

It's too late.

At this moment, Bai Jiuniang was already poised to meet the attack. Being in mid-air, there was no way she could dodge. Bai Jiuniang had no choice but to cover her body with her dense demonic power and activate the protective talismans given to her by Wang Mian.

It quickly curled into a ball and spun rapidly, like a thick mass of demonic power, to meet the Gang Spear Talisman.

Wang Mian only heard a huge roar, and for a moment his ears went deaf; all he could hear was a buzzing sound, and he couldn't hear any other sounds.

He saw Jin Ge break through Bai Jiu Niang's protective amulet's spiritual light, then break through her demonic power, and finally slash at Bai Jiu Niang's demonic body.

He saw Bai Jiuniang fly back, splattering demon blood all over the ground, crashing into the cliff wall, kicking up blood flowers, and then falling helplessly to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Wang Mian felt as if the world had fallen silent in that instant.

Regret filled my chest.

Wang Mian, who always relied on his dog's power, felt for the first time that he had implicated Bai Jiuniang, causing her to suffer this unpredictable fate.

If Bai Jiuniang were to die, he would be guilty beyond redemption, even if he were to die a thousand deaths.

"Bian Zemin, I'll fuck your mother!" With a furious curse filled with murderous intent, Wang Mian threw the two Yin Thunder Stones in his hand at Bian Zemin one after the other, using all his magic power.

Regardless of whether Yin Leizi would work, he ran desperately toward Bai Jiuniang.

With his deaf ears unable to hear the huge explosion of Yin Lei behind him, nor Bian Zemin's screams, Wang Mian rushed to Bai Jiuniang and picked her up.

After checking its breath and heartbeat, Wang Mian immediately stuffed the two remaining healing pills into its mouth.

Bai Jiuniang swallowed the pill.

Despite its mouth full of blood and foam, it still shook its head at Wang Mian, indicating that it wouldn't die.

Her snow-white fur was stained red with demon blood. Bai Jiuniang had seven or eight deep wounds on her body that revealed the bone, as well as two wounds from being pierced by a golden spear. One of the wounds even revealed her lungs.

Such an injury meant that almost one of the dog's paws had stepped into the underworld.

Bai Jiuniang raised her front paw and pointed to Bian Zemin in the distance, urging Wang Mian to hurry up and finish him off, lest things get complicated and Bian Zemin launch a last-ditch counterattack.

We cannot give them that opportunity.

"Dissolve the medicine first and heal your injuries." After checking her over, Wang Mian finally felt relieved. He gently put Bai Jiuniang down and turned to walk towards Bian Zemin, whose fate was unknown.

His longsword gleamed with a sharp light, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Bian Zemin lay on the ground scorched by lightning, his chest rising and falling slightly, already critically injured and on the verge of death.

Two Yin Thunderbolts arrived one after the other. One shattered Bian Zemin's defensive magical artifact's spiritual light, while the other broke through the talisman's spiritual light and protective magic power, burning Bian Zemin to a crisp.

Bian Zemin, who had lost an eye in the fire, watched Wang Mian approach with his sword drawn. In his death throes, he threatened Wang Mian: "If you... kill... me, then... the old man who refines the body... won't survive either."

It was only in this near-death experience that he realized how many regrets he had.

I regret letting Bian Dongxu provoke Wang Mian, I regret learning more magic, and I regret focusing only on spirit stones instead of preparing more powerful talismans.

He deeply regretted leaving the Hui community in Fangshi today; if not for all these things, he would not have lost his life at Yixian Gorge.

Upon hearing the words "Old Man of Body Refinement," Wang Mian's expression darkened.

"Haha...that old man...has been captured by me...Bian...If you have the guts...go." Bian Zemin knew he was doomed this time, and only wanted to lay the bait to lure Wang Mian into the trap.

How could Wang Mian not understand his intentions?

"You may go first. I will soon send your entire Bian family to join you." Wang Mian's long sword pierced Bian Zemin's throat, taking away his last bit of life.

Bian Zemin stared intently at Wang Mian with one eye.
