Yunmeng Immortal Clan

The seven silver ice spears condensed once again into sharp little points. Gu Jingze made a hand seal and frantically poured a stream of magic power into them.

It rushed towards Song Daoxuan again, carrying an extremely cold, frost-like aura.

At this moment, Song Daoxuan patted his storage bag, and a flying sword instantly flew out under the protection of his divine sense.

The flying sword shone with a brilliant purple light. With a quick hand seal, Song Daoxuan transformed the sword into a purple bird, lifelike and fearless, charging towards the icy light emanating from the seven silver ice spears.

A purple bird flew around, surrounded by bolts of lightning as thick as purple fingers. The lightning crackled and popped, emanating an unusual aura.

The purple bird struck the seven ice spears, and soon the bird, which was transformed from the purple sword, began to devour the frosty aura emanating from the ice spears with lightning. The seven silver ice spears soon began to tremble.

"A low-grade spiritual weapon. I didn't expect that the Qinglian Song Clan had a second one besides the Golden Dragon Sword. They even bestowed this sword upon a young man in the clan who had just established his foundation. The Qinglian Song Clan has a much richer foundation than I imagined!" Gu Jingze already felt the heavy pressure.

"Using another burst of Azure Wood Life Force might be enough to quickly kill this kid, but I dare not gamble. Even with this low-grade spiritual weapon, this kid is still invincible!" Gu Jingze thought to himself.

"You're just a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if your mana accumulation is decent, I refuse to believe that in terms of total power, you can surpass a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator like me!"

Gu Jingze continued to pour his magic power into the seven top-tier magic weapon spears, while Song Daoxuan mainly controlled the low-grade spiritual weapon, the Purple Lightning Sword, and the top-tier magic weapon, the Azure Lotus Sword, also rushed towards Gu Jingze under his divine sense control.

With the help of the Purple Lightning Sword, a low-grade spiritual weapon, Song Daoxuan, a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, actually gained the upper hand as time went by. However, in terms of magical power, the two were evenly matched, and they were once again locked in a stalemate.

Meanwhile, on the other side, not far away, the outcome between Song Zhichu and Wang Zhengchun remained uncertain.

With a flick of his wrist, the Golden Dragon Sword was returned to Song Zhichu's hand.

The sword, now in Song Zhichu's hand, gleamed with golden light, its movements unpredictable and fierce as it slashed towards Wang Zhengchun.

As soon as this unpredictable sword move was unleashed, Wang Zhengchun, who was manipulating the Eight Directions Fixed Origin Flag, was instantly put on the defensive. He was completely held back by Song Zhichu's merciless offensive, unable to retreat or advance.

The sword technique that Song Zhichu used was derived from the Azure Lotus Sword Manual.

The Azure Lotus Sword Technique has a total of eighteen levels, which are further divided into four major realms.

The first realm is called "Rooting and Nurturing Spirit." This realm is divided into four stages: Green Lotus Sprouting, Lotus Roots Deeply Planted, Green Waves Bearing Dew, First Lotus Holding a Sharp Edge, Lotus Leaves Swaying in the Wind, and Lotus Root Severed but Still Connected by Silk.

The second phase is divided into four sections: swaying lotus shadows, lotus leaves lifted by a gentle breeze, sudden rain pattering on duckweed, duckweed crossing water, lotus path piercing through stones, and withered lotus listening to the rain.

The third realm is divided into four stages: Azure Lotus in Full Bloom, Lotus Platform Sword Prison, Flying Flowers and Plucking Leaves, Lotus Heart Questioning the Sword, and Silent Extinction Sword Lotus.

The fourth realm, a single petal of the Void.

Within the Qinglian Song Clan, there are only nine levels of sword techniques. However, once they reach the second level, the "Sudden Rain Strikes the Duckweed" move is enough for a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan like the Qinglian Song Clan to comprehend endlessly for generations.

Song Zhichu's sword technique was only at the third level, yet it was already so powerful that even a cultivator at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage could not breathe properly.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators fought each other, rubbing shoulders with each other. After dozens of rounds, all that could be heard was Wang Zhengchun letting out a painful howl.

A sword arc slashed straight into Wang Zhengchun's chest, instantly turning his body into a bloody mess. Wang Zhengchun had already suffered 40% damage.

Foundation Establishment cultivators have a stronger recovery ability than Qi Refining cultivators. However, when Foundation Establishment cultivators face damage from cultivators of the same level, it still takes a certain amount of time to recover, even with the aid of pills.

Wang Zhengchun glanced at Gu Jingze's side again, his expression becoming somewhat awkward.

Time waits for no one. Just then, the thick earth and yellow sand formation that Wang Zhengchun had previously sent his family's Qi Refining cultivators to set up unexpectedly dissipated at this moment.

In an instant, the world here returned to its clear and bright state, as if the yellow sand that had just filled the sky had never existed.

"This is troublesome! Right now, I'm no match for that old fox Song Zhichu. My only option is to stay here for the time being. But I'm currently entangled with that old scoundrel Song Zhichu. How can I just watch him escape by using an earth-遁 (earth-遁) talisman? If I want to save my life from this man, I must use a secret escape technique that I have mastered."

Upon realizing this, the ever-witty Wang Zhengchun had a thought, and a long black lizard emerged from his sleeve.

This black lizard exudes an extremely cold and eerie aura.

This black lizard is indeed no ordinary creature; it was obtained by Wang Zhengchun from the southern border region in his early years.

Southern Xinjiang is home to one of the five major immortal cultivation sects, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which has many Gu cultivators who are proficient in witchcraft and sorcery.

The black lizard in front of me is a Gu worm called the Substitute Death Gu.

This Gu worm usually devours the corpses of many infants, and then it needs to be nurtured for a long time using the essence and blood of cultivators.

In times of crisis, he would use a miraculous, life-saving technique: the Yin Gu Substitution Technique.

But then Wang Zhengchun cast a spell on the Gu.

This Gu gu quickly transformed into an incredibly fast phantom and burrowed into the earth.

Afterwards, Wang Zhengchun fought with Song Zhichu for a while, thus delaying the time.

After fighting for a while, Wang Zhengchun estimated that the time was almost up, and then he did something that Song Zhichu could not believe.

However, Wang Zhengchun put all the magical artifacts that were hovering outside into his storage bag.

He let the arc of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique slash straight at his neck.

Song Zhichu originally thought that Wang Zhengchun was bound to die.

Just as the sword arc struck Wang Zhengchun, he transformed into a pitch-black phantom.

A hundred miles away, a black lizard suddenly burst into a burst of black light, but then it exploded, and a disheveled human figure emerged from the hazy black light.

This person was none other than Wang Zhengchun, the head of the Wang family, who had fled in panic.

"Having escaped here, I dare not linger. I must return to my clan on my sword with all my might. If Song Zhichu catches up, he probably won't spare my life!"

"As for Gu Jingze, good luck to him. Before I fled, I sent him a telepathic message, hoping he would realize what was happening!"
