Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

After pondering it carefully for a moment, Jiang Ming was instantly filled with anticipation for this spell. He had previously been troubled by how to fight against a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of his cultivation.

At this moment, that worry has long since vanished.

With this power, plus his physical strength, he could definitely deliver a devastating blow to the Five Spirits Sect!

Looking somewhat warily into the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron, True Person Hongguang's face was gloomy, and True Person Xiaoyun and True Person Hanshuang beside him were also extremely depressed.

They were all discerning people, and they naturally knew what the power displayed by this spell meant!

The power of a group of disciples using it was already extraordinary; one can only imagine the scene if Jiang Ming used it personally.

This is difficult.

After a moment's thought, Master Hongguang looked troubled.

He originally intended to use this opportunity to suppress others and undermine the Wanfa Sect, but now he has only hurt himself.

Faced with the spells Jiang Ming unleashed, he could clearly sense that the enthusiasm of the Shuiyue Sect and the Qingfu Sect had waned somewhat.

Most importantly, even he himself was unsure whether he could withstand the attack from the giant snake phantom.

As more disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect successfully cast this spell within the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron, the giant serpent phantom in mid-air became increasingly solid.

A sinister gaze pierced through the sky, staring directly at the ground, and an intense sense of oppression washed over us like a tidal wave.

This phantom is still getting stronger. The more people use magic, the stronger the magic becomes? What a joke!

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to rely on external forces?"

Cold sweat poured down his back, and Master Xiaoyun tentatively spoke.

Jiang Ming glanced at him, feeling confident and fearless. He revealed half of his Dharma body, his eyes filled with arrogance. "You're not convinced?"

Do you want me to demonstrate the true power of this spell?

Seeing Jiang Ming's nonchalant smile.

Xiao Yun cursed inwardly: "Damn you! You even brought in extraterrestrial creatures for help? Are you even human anymore...?"

"Don't be too smug, the Heavenly Fire Fruit Master will make his move!" With a slight sense of uncertainty, Master Hongguang forced himself to remain calm and observed the situation in the sky.

In a short while.

Sure enough, a ball of scorching fire swirled around the body of the Ba Hui, indicating that a cultivator had attacked it.

However, even the domineering power of the heavenly fire did not completely eliminate the Ba Hui. On the contrary, nourished by the pain, its aura became even more fierce.

"Even Heavenly Fire can't do anything to this thing?" Jiang Ming looked up in surprise, extremely shocked. He knew that Heavenly Fire was a Monarch level, which was considered the top level of cultivators in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even the fire from the sky could not completely extinguish the phantom of Ba Hui.

Judging from its appearance, this thing is indeed extraordinary.

Shivering, Master Hongguang was now on high alert, regretting his boastful words that had strained his relationship with Jiang Ming.

In this situation, he is caught between a rock and a hard place, and for a moment, he inevitably feels somewhat helpless.

This matter has already exceeded his control.

With Ba Hui's help, the disciples of the Wanfa Sect easily achieved victory.

Thanks to their good fortune, the Dao Asking Sect also performed well in this competition, ranking second, followed by the Five Spirits Sect in third, the Water Moon Sect in fourth, and the Azure Talisman Sect in fifth...

After counting the number of people, Jiang Ming silently calculated the result in his mind.

Seeing the solemn expressions on Hongguang and the others' faces, Jiang Ming didn't hold back and bluntly added fuel to the fire, "Why haven't you announced the results yet? Is Master Hongguang a sore loser?"

Don't do something so undignified in front of so many disciples...

"Hehe, that's not true, but there's one thing I must point out: your spell is too evil."

During our contest, you are forbidden to use any techniques; otherwise, you risk being possessed by this demon and meeting a gruesome end.

With a stern face, he reluctantly announced the new rules.

Frost Immortal paused for a moment, having already experienced Hong Guang's shamelessness. Now she was facing a difficult choice.

Should we speak up for Jiang Ming or for Hong Guang?

Jiang Mingsheng has greater potential, while the Five Spirits Sect has a stronger foundation, with one of its Grand Elders currently at a critical stage of breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

After much deliberation, Master Han Shuang decided to side with Hong Guang. He had already offended Jiang Ming, so he might as well go all the way now.

"I agree. We are all righteous sects, so the competition should naturally be conducted in a righteous manner. Aren't you afraid of suffering a backlash and dying suddenly when you summon a ferocious beast like the Ba Hui?"

"Considering we're both in Tongzhou, I'd like to remind you that it's best to use this spell sparingly. The injuries caused by the Ba Hui will take a year to heal, and you'll feel the pain constantly..."

"That's right, it's really inappropriate to use such magic in this situation."

It's one thing for disciples to compete, and you can consider your Wanfa Sect the winner, but you can't use such underhanded tricks when you're fighting against Master Hongguang.

This is a friendly competition, not a life-or-death struggle!

Jiang Ming rolled his eyes at the three of them, looking at them like they were fools, and sneered inwardly, "These three are really shameless."

You used your Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation to suppress me, but now you won't let me fight to the death.

What, scared? If you're scared, just quit. Don't try to save face here...

"Arrogant!"

"Nonsense!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Her eyes widened in anger as she glared at Jiang Ming.

Frost Immortal's expression was unfriendly as he sized up Hongguang Immortal and said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Hongguang, this kid is far too rude."

I can't swallow this insult, can you teach him a lesson for me...?

"Yes, Brother Hongguang, don't let him get too arrogant, teach him a lesson!" Master Xiaoyun agreed wholeheartedly.

With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked exceptionally simple and honest.

Dry!

Those two bastards, they only remembered to call me in when things got serious.

After inwardly grumbling, Master Hongguang felt helpless but had no choice but to step forward and ask, "Boy, do you dare to come into the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron and have a match with me?"

If you don't use this sinister magic, I won't use my cultivation level to bully you.

The Heavenly Cauldron may suppress cultivators to the same cultivation level.

"Let's spar at the late Foundation Establishment stage, do you dare?"

Jiang Ming frowned, pondered for a moment, and thought the matter was feasible. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Master Cangwu raised an objection.

"Hongguang, your magic weapon can unleash its full potential in the later stages. You can use it in a competition, but you need to seal it."

Otherwise, this competition would still be unfair...

His lips twitched, and he looked at Cangwu Zhenren. Hongguang nodded, his eyes unfriendly. "Don't worry, you don't need to remind me. I won't bully the weak..."

Make some adjustments in a proper manner.

Hong Guang entered the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron first, and Jiang Ming followed closely behind.

He naturally had no fear when fighting against opponents of the same realm.

Even without the spell to summon Ba Hui, he could still annihilate Hong Guang!

"Hmph, I never expected that the little kid from back then would grow up to be this big."

However, your cultivation time is still short, and your application of certain techniques is far from sufficient. Today, I will break your arrogance and show you what it means to be outmatched and to know that there are always people more capable than you!

The Primordial Sword Formation quietly took shape. Jiang Ming, too lazy to waste words, went straight for the attack.

? !

Slightly annoyed, Master Hongguang blocked Jiang Ming's attack, then sneered, unconcerned. "This sword formation is quite powerful, but unfortunately, my magic weapon isn't made of dough!"

Faced with Hongguang Zhenren's smugness, Jiang Ming remained silent. The Primordial Sword Formation was just a decoy; the real killing move was the Dao-Attaining Hidden Mystery Palace!

Once the primordial treasure was activated, a fierce wind instantly swirled and smashed towards Hongguang's dantian.

I was startled by this hidden killing move.

Master Hongguang flicked his Tai Chi sword, unleashing a ray of golden light, his expression not looking too good.

Metal element?

Sensing this familiar feeling, Jiang Ming immediately showed anger, "You said you would maintain your late-stage cultivation level, what do you mean by using the metal element?"

Aside from those at the Foundation Establishment stage, which other cultivator can wield the Metal element?! Can't you afford to lose? Hongguang!

Red-faced and waving his hand, Hongguang remained stubborn, "Young man, what do you know? This isn't Jin Xing."

It was merely an imitation of its spirit, a single strike. Further words are pointless; take this!

Seeing that Hongguang refused to admit to cheating, Jiang Ming's face twitched, but he suppressed the urge to turn against him completely and continued to fight with him.

He summoned a phantom of his Dharma body and slammed it down. With the blessing of the Hidden Profound Palace of Dao Attainment, Jiang Ming's body was filled with Daoist energy.

A seemingly light punch, yet it possesses the power to shatter mountains.

He frowned, then wielded his Tai Chi sword to counterattack.

Hongguang's eyes were filled with apprehension: He hadn't expected this kid to be so capable.

Clenching his fists as if he were in a predicament, he no longer hesitated and decisively unleashed the golden light of Dao and the power of metal, completely tearing off the pretense and refusing to pretend anymore!

The longsword pierced through the Dharma body, but Jiang Ming felt no pain whatsoever.

"You old bastard, you really have no shame at all." With a sneer, seeing Hongguang's shamelessness, he no longer hesitated.

He thrust the Golden Thunder Bamboo sword in his hand directly into his chest, then frantically swirled it around, aided by his powerful physique.

Jiang Ming had mastered the art of summoning Ba Hui.

Because of his strong physique, he would inflict severe damage on himself every time his wounds were about to heal.

After several cycles, the phantom of the Ba Hui had almost solidified, as if it had come in person, spitting out its long forked tongue and a gust of black wind.

Sensing the threat of death, Master Hongguang panicked completely. "Boy, stop right now, or don't blame me for being impolite..."

"You old scoundrel! Let me see how impolite you are!" He watched as the black wind summoned by Ba Hui attacked Hongguang Zhenren.

Jiang Ming felt a chill in his heart. Under his control, the power of this spell had reached the level of the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage.

In just a moment, it pierced through Hongguang Zhenren's protective barrier and rushed straight to his lungs.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Hong Guang couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate that the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron still had the ability to protect cultivators.

He now appears to be critically injured and on the verge of death.

In reality, once he left the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron, everything would return to normal. Staggering outwards, Master Hongguang felt his steps growing heavier and heavier.

He met the terrified gaze of Frost Immortal.

He lowered his head and froze on the spot.

He met the terrified gaze of Frost Immortal.

He lowered his head and froze on the spot.

The black wind destroyed his lower body, and now, he found himself involuntarily supporting himself with his arms as he climbed outwards.

Moreover, even after leaving the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron, there was no way to recover, and at the same time, Jiang Ming's condition was extremely disheveled.

Unlike the disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect, his injuries had not healed, and even after leaving the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron, he was still severely injured.

Looking at the pool of blood on his chest, Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised.

Since entering the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had not suffered such a serious injury in a long time, although compared to True Person Hongguang, his injury was nothing.

But this blood-soaked appearance still terrified Master Cangwu.

"Hmph! Who dares to cause trouble in my sect!" A cold voice rang out as a blood-red longsword swung from the depths of the Five Spirits Sect.

Before the person arrived, the wind of the blade had already swept in.

This extremely simple strike, however, made Jiang Ming feel particularly troublesome, as if no matter how he dodged, he would be hit!

The metal element, it's definitely the effect of the metal element, and the Five Elements Sect still has experts!

With this thought flashing through his mind, Jiang Ming hurriedly took out a life-saving item and held it in front of him. At the same time, Master Cangwu also made a move to help block the sword's momentum.

"Ancestor Blood Blade, Hongguang broke the rules first, you can't be unreasonable..." Frowning, True Man Cangwu tried to reason with him.

"Hmph! Youngster, did I ask you?" The bald old man, hunched over, slapped him across the face and floated over.

At the same time, Master Cangwu was immediately shaken away.

"Kid, you're a talented person, but unfortunately, causing trouble at the Five Spirits Sect means you're destined to die!"

Jiang Ming stared at him with a cold smile, neither dodging nor avoiding. The difference in strength was too great. Unless he summoned Ba Hui again, he could not do so in his current state.

As he tentatively drew his Golden Thunder Bamboo Longsword, Blood Blade Ancestor understood Jiang Ming's intentions. For a moment, he couldn't help but be moved, and his killing intent instantly reached its peak.

Such a ruthless nature, if not eradicated today, will surely become a fatal calamity for the Five Spirits Sect in the future!

"Hmph, Hongguang is my disciple. You summoned Bahui and forcibly destroyed his physical body. Since that's the case, you shall be buried with him!"

"I will only strike once. If you survive, this matter will end here. Moreover, your Wanfa Sect will undoubtedly be the champion of this competition..."

Having just been blasted several feet away, Master Cangwu immediately stepped forward again upon hearing this, his eyes filled with indignation.

"Ancestor Blood Blade, you've already stepped halfway into the Purple Mansion Realm, why are you still holding onto a junior!"

Even those at the peak of Foundation Establishment wouldn't be able to withstand your attack. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for people?

"So what if I make things difficult for someone? You're not happy about it? If you dare say another word, don't blame me for disregarding all decorum and killing you along with everyone else!"

With a cold threat, Blood Blade Ancestor raised his longsword, poised to strike. The next second, Jiang Ming summoned the Refining Secret Realm, intending to escape into it for refuge.

With a wave of his hand, he blocked the surrounding space.

Blood Blade Ancestor grinned and unleashed an extremely fierce blade of light, a strike that was in no way inferior to Ba Hui's earlier attack.

boom!

The blade missed its target, and a wisp of golden flame silently eroded the attack.

At the same time, Yuwen Huai'an, dressed in a red robe, stood in front of Jiang Ming, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. His tone was tinged with dissatisfaction as he glared at the Blood Blade Ancestor and said in a way that left no room for argument.

"I owe this kid a favor, so let's leave it at that."

What are you standing there for? You dare to chop me up?
