A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

"not good!"

Xu Yan was also a person with rich combat experience. He quickly understood the meaning in the other party's expression. He immediately took out a light blue talisman and slapped it on his body, generating a water-attribute shield. At the same time, he also threw out a blue shield.

At the same time, a huge emerald green figure appeared in front of Xu Yan. The huge figure attacked with astonishing speed. With a wave of its sharp forelimbs, the ordinary-level top-grade defensive shield shattered and broke into two pieces.

The water-attribute shield was even more vulnerable, breaking through in less than a second. Xu Yan had never witnessed such a sharp attack before, and his face turned pale with fright. Fortunately, he remained calm despite the shock and quickly recalled the Azure Fire Blade to protect its master.

As expected of a fragment of a magical artifact, the Azure Flame Blade was exceptionally hard. The emerald green figure kept swinging its forelimbs, cutting like a sharp blade. Although it made the Azure Flame Blade tremble, it could not cut through it.

Only then did Xu Yan finally see clearly the emerald green figure that had ambushed him; it was actually a mantis monster that was three or four zhang tall!

This mantis demon beast possessed an extremely terrifying aura, reaching level four, equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"A level four demonic beast? How is that possible?"

In a place like Tiannan, a level two demonic beast is already quite eye-catching, let alone a level four one. Once it reveals its presence, this level four demonic beast will soon be captured by high-level cultivators from all over who have heard the news.

The person in front of him was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he possessed a level four demonic beast. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it even if he were beaten to death.

This mantis monster doesn't know magic, but its physical attacks are extremely powerful. The speed at which its forelimbs swing and the sharpness at which they cut through objects made Xu Yan's face turn pale. At this moment, even though he was controlling the Azure Fire Blade, he could only barely defend against it.

Seeing this, Xu Yan sighed. He could only do his best to defend against the mantis monster's attacks while hoping that the golden-eyed ape could quickly finish off the opponent and then come to help him and relieve the pressure. However, when he looked at the other side, his heart sank.

Lin He looked at the Golden-Eyed Ape that came and went without a trace and just let out a cold laugh. If an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator encountered this situation, he would probably panic and be killed by the Golden-Eyed Ape if it seized the opportunity. But Lin He quickly came up with a solution.

He took out two throwing knives and slashed his arm, causing blood to flow freely. The blood did not drip to the ground but instead, under Lin He's control, splashed around him.

Suddenly, the golden-eyed ape appeared out of nowhere and launched a furry, heavy punch. Lin He twirled his yellow umbrella to deflect the powerful force, but even so, he felt a tingling numbness in his arm.

But Lin He was not discouraged. Instead, he smiled. At this moment, the golden-eyed ape's feet were stained with blood, and the gauze magic artifact that could hide its figure and aura was no longer effective.

"Now you have nowhere to hide."

Lin He unleashed a powerful attack with a single gesture, wielding the mother blade and manipulating eight sub-blades to fly out swiftly. At the same time, a pair of white rings, a pair of red grappling hooks, and more than thirty low-level talismans were thrown out all at once.

After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, his spiritual sense was greatly enhanced, and he was able to use more magical artifacts in battle, no longer feeling as restricted as he was in the Qi Refining stage.

Suddenly, ice spikes, fireballs, and rocks rained down. The golden-eyed ape thought it had become invisible and had no idea that it had been exposed. Naturally, it didn't have time to dodge.

Such a barrage of spells, while not fatal to a physically strong level two demon beast, would certainly inflict minor injuries.

The Golden-Eyed Ape was enraged and was about to make a move when eight golden lights, two red lights, and two white lights attacked. The sheer number of attacks made the Golden-Eyed Ape see stars and grimace in pain. At that moment, the two white lights merged in mid-air and condensed into a huge ring, which then slammed down!

With a deafening roar, the completely stunned Golden-Eyed Ape was knocked unconscious by the enormous ring.

Xu Yan, who was entangled with the Jade Mantis, happened to see this scene and his eyes widened in disbelief!

He had originally planned to stall for time, waiting for the Golden-Eyed Ape to finish off its opponent and then come to his rescue. However, he did not expect the Golden-Eyed Ape to be defeated so quickly. The magical artifacts that the opponent took out were all top-tier magical artifacts, which was simply unbelievable.

Still in shock, he suddenly noticed Lin He looking at him from across the room. A chill ran down his spine, and he quickly mustered his strength to speak.

"You think you've already won? I may not be able to kill you, but with this fragment of the magical artifact, you can't kill me either!"

At this moment, the Jade Mantis launched an even fiercer attack, seemingly urged on by Lin He. However, the Jade Fire Blade was truly formidable. Although it was being battered and trembled, it still managed to withstand the powerful offensive and protect Xu Yan's figure.

"As expected of a fragment of a magical artifact, it is indeed powerful, but... you may have your clever plans, but I have my countermeasures."

Xu Yan was stunned and hadn't understood what the other party meant when suddenly a small mirror inexplicably appeared on Lin He's body. The mirror looked ordinary and dull, but under the stimulation of magic power, it actually emitted a beam of light from its surface.

The light was incredibly strange. The Azure Flame Blade, which was originally able to withstand the mantis's attack, was frozen in mid-air and remained motionless when illuminated by this light.

"That's impossible!"

Xu Yan panicked immediately, but no matter how he tried to activate it, the Azure Fire Blade remained motionless. Xu Yan's expression changed drastically, but before he could make a move, two streaks of azure light flashed by, and then his body was cut in two, and he lost all his life forever.

Xu Yan, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator with a distinguished background and the garrison commander of the Tianxing Sect's market, actually died here.

Lin He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Azure Condensation Mirror had successfully immobilized the fragment of the opponent's magic weapon. According to the original work, the Azure Condensation Mirror was a heaven-defying magic weapon that could even interfere with the magic weapon Green Radiance Sword. Immobilizing a fragment of a magic weapon should not be a problem. So Lin He decided to give it a try, and it worked. It can only be said that the effect of the Azure Condensation Mirror was too heaven-defying.

Lin He casually took everything out of Xu Yan's storage bag and put it into his own. He didn't want Xu Yan's storage bag. Since the other party could possess fragments of magic weapons, he was definitely not an ordinary person. He might even have a Core Formation stage cultivator as a backer, so of course he had to be careful.

He casually launched a fireball to destroy the body and cover up the evidence, then dug a deep pit to bury the other party's storage bag. Lin He took out a top-grade flying sword and killed the golden-eyed ape, putting its corpse and the gauze magic artifact into his storage bag. He then picked up the Azure Fire Blade, looked at it curiously, and then put it into his storage bag as well.

After doing all this, Lin He looked at Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei opposite him.
