Yunmeng Immortal Clan

The Heavenly Demon Cave, a deep, ancient pool.

Under Song Daoxuan's sword, a Black Pool Ancient Python, comparable to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, perished in an instant.

sizzle!

The next moment, three black pythons suddenly lunged at Song Daoxuan.

With a thought, Song Daoxuan's storage bag flashed with spiritual light, revealing several top-tier defensive magical artifacts, including shields and mirrors.

These defensive magical artifacts expanded instantly after Song Daoxuan channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into them.

While Song Daoxuan manipulated his flying sword to hold back the ancient python in the pool, these defensive magical artifacts instantly grew larger, forming thick protective shields in front of Song Daoxuan.

The three ancient pythons crashed into the protective barrier, which barely managed to defend itself. The attack power of the pythons and the defensive power of the barrier were roughly equal, and the three pythons were instantly sent flying more than ten feet away.

The protective shield vanished in an instant, but Song Daoxuan did not intend to pour spiritual power into the defensive artifact again. Instead, he leaped up to a height of over ten feet.

With his ink-black bamboo flying sword, he slashed horizontally at the three ancient pythons.

The sword's edge traced a white rainbow-like arc through the air, and with a thunderous sound, the three ancient pythons were cleaved in two at the waist.

By this point, four of the eight Black Pool Pythons had perished at the hands of Song Daoxuan.

Upon seeing this, the remaining four Black Pool Pythons immediately dived back into the pool.

These ancient pythons, now aware of Song Daoxuan's true strength, were filled with fear.

But Song Daoxuan wouldn't let these beasts have their way, and pulled out several more talismans from his sleeve.

Spiritual energy was channeled into the talismans, and several talismans, like arrows, were shot into the bottom of the pool.

Then, in the next instant, the talisman exploded once again at the bottom of the black pool.

These ancient pythons had no choice but to leap out of the pool, giving Song Daoxuan the opportunity to attack them.

It took Song Daoxuan about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he finally managed to kill the last Black Pool Ancient Python demon beast.

Part of the Black Pool Python's corpse was on the shore, while the other part floated belly up in the pool.

Song Daoxuan took out a dagger from his storage bag and skillfully dissected the corpses of the Black Pool Pythons, taking out some valuable parts.

With a flick of his fingers, Song Daoxuan unleashed several perfectly round fireballs that instantly engulfed the ancient python's corpse.

The flesh and blood of these ancient pythons were extremely pungent and reeked of blood. There were other demonic beasts in the Heavenly Demon Cave, but Song Daoxuan was unaware of their ranks.

He could handle a low-level second-tier demonic beast like the Black Pool Ancient Python relatively easily, but when he encountered a mid-level second-tier demonic beast, even though he could kill it, it would be quite difficult.

However, once he encounters a high-level second-tier demonic beast, he, with only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level, will only face certain death.

Cultivators like them are considered highly nutritious by demonic beasts, and Song Daoxuan didn't want their blood energy to attract other demonic beasts in the Heavenly Demon Cave.

After killing these ancient pythons.

As soon as Song Daoxuan entered the center of the pool, on a relatively flat patch of soil, he carefully placed the second-tier rush into the jade box he had prepared beforehand.

Just as Song Daoxuan placed the elixir into the jade box, a voice reached his ears:

"Fellow Daoist, put down the second-tier spiritual medicine in your hand, or you will die!" Song Daoxuan turned around and saw three figures flying towards the shore of the pool.

Of these three, two have reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and their auras are steady and solid. According to Song Daoxuan's judgment, these two have obviously advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for many years. As for the third person, he is at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Judging from their extremely simple attire, he deduced that they were rogue cultivators from the martial arts world.

However, if they are rogue cultivators who have reached this level, none of them are ordinary people and should not be underestimated.

These three were actually quite prudent. They had their eyes on Song Daoxuan, who was all alone, and they were confident in their mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so they thought they could easily defeat him.

"Hehe, in the Heavenly Demon Cave, all opportunities depend on one's own abilities. I have never met the three of you before. Could it be that you three are so sure that you have me cornered?" Song Daoxuan took a few steps back, revealing a look of fear in the eyes of the three figures.

"Let's do it! Don't waste words with him." Just then, the older of the three, a scarred cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, snorted coldly.

The remaining two cultivators were a dark-skinned and short man, and a gaunt man who looked like a monkey. All three had lewd faces.

The three figures acted decisively, shouting in unison as each conjured nine ink-poison flying knives, seemingly a set of magical artifacts.

The nine ink-poison throwing knives each had a faint green light shining on their blades, and they were connected to each other as if by countless transparent threads.

The nine blades were interconnected, and their power was actually much stronger than most of the top magical artifacts in the cultivation world.

As soon as the three of them unleashed these twenty-seven ink-poison flying knives, Song Daoxuan frowned slightly. He felt a strange sense of familiarity with these ink-poison flying knives, and they also gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

In response to the flying knives, Song Daoxuan quickly activated his spiritual energy shield.

Several defensive magical artifacts also flew out of the storage bag, forming a protective shield that firmly enveloped it.

But in the next instant, a total of twenty-seven black poison flying knives burst into a bright blue light, and their sharp blades instantly broke through the protective shield.

The first layer of protective shields, made up of several top-tier defensive magical artifacts, was breached. Just as the second layer of spiritual energy shield was about to crack, Song Daoxuan directly took out a second-tier defensive talisman from his storage bag, which barely managed to defend against the attack of the twenty-seven ink poison flying knives.

Song Daoxuan retreated several dozen feet, maintaining a distance from the three people in front of him. Then, Song Daoxuan patted his storage bag, and several top-grade magic swords flew out, hovered in mid-air for a while, and then suddenly stabbed towards the three people.

Unexpectedly, Scarface sneered and took out a blood-red longsword from his storage bag. This sword was a low-grade demonic artifact, and as soon as it was taken out, it exuded a bloodthirsty aura.

The three were not demonic cultivators; the knife was merely something Scarface obtained by chance.

Scarface took out the Demon Blade, and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators also each refined several top-tier magic weapons.

The Mo Poison Flying Blades continued their combined attack, and the Demon Blade instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red light. Within the blood-red light, a white skeleton emerged, and the white skeleton instantly opened its massive hand, several meters long, and slapped it towards Song Daoxuan.

"Such a powerful aura, but that's all!" As soon as these words fell, two ink bamboo flying swords flew out of Song Daoxuan's storage bag under his divine sense. They transformed into two sharp white sword arcs with strange white lightning in the blink of an eye, and arrived in front of the two Foundation Establishment mid-stage immortal cultivators.
