Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Dressed in a green robe, Song Daoxuan patted his storage bag with one hand, and a small emerald green shield flew out and hovered beside him.

The small emerald green shield flashed and instantly formed a wind wall around Song Daoxuan. The flames and lightning emitted by the two high-grade magic artifacts crashed into this wind wall and could not advance an inch.

Among the scattered cultivators in Yunmeng Prefecture, Liu Xianzong, the leader of the Burning Blood Sect, and the gaunt old man who was the deputy leader, were both slightly famous. Upon seeing this, they were suddenly shocked. This small emerald green shield seemed inconspicuous, but it was actually a high-grade defensive magic weapon.

For cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage, having even one high-grade magic weapon is already quite valuable. Offense is the best defense, and cultivators generally value offense more than defense. Therefore, offensive magic weapons are more common in the cultivation world. Although defensive magic weapons are similarly priced to offensive ones, cultivators believe that spirit stones should be spent wisely.

"Heh! A high-grade defensive wind-attribute magic weapon, huh? That's rather rare. With the two of us working together, wielding two high-grade offensive magic weapons, it's only a matter of time before we destroy this kid's high-grade defensive magic weapon..."

Liu Xianzong gave a cold laugh, and then used his divine sense to transmit his voice to the withered old man standing next to him.

The gaunt old man nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Then he increased his own magical power. As the output of magical power intensified, the light emitted by the two high-grade magical artifacts became even brighter, and even slightly overshadowed the power of the Xunfeng Shield, a high-grade magical artifact in Song Daoxuan's hand.

"It seems I can't hold back anymore if I want to deal with these two quickly. After all, with my current cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining, I don't have any reason to hide my strength!" As Song Daoxuan thought this, he increased the power of the Xunfeng Shield he was manipulating, and then slashed out with an arc of sword energy from the low-grade magic sword in his hand.

The two figures only needed to spare a little of their attention to easily deflect the sword arc.

Then, while each of the two figures was manipulating two high-grade magic artifacts, they freed up one hand, made a hand seal, and quickly unleashed two spells.

One of these spells is a golden flying blade called Sky-Piercing Slash, and the other is an ice spear. Both are formed from condensed magical power, but they are clearly two extremely powerful and deadly spells.

Just as these two spells were about to strike, Song Daoxuan withdrew his magic power, gathered the Xunfeng Small Shield to his side, and then his hands surged with magic power as he formed a hand seal.

He unleashed a perfected fireball spell, then inserted the low-grade magic sword into his storage bag. With a thought, he retrieved a cyan longsword.

"Go!" Song Daoxuan quickly channeled his magic power into a cyan longsword, transforming it into a hazy cyan rainbow that struck the perfected fireball technique at the same time.

"go!"

The golden flying blade and the icy spear collided with the perfectly round fireball, resulting in a 50/50 split, and were instantly dissolved into residual magical energy that dissipated.

When Liu Xianzong and the gaunt old man saw that the perfected fireball technique had successfully neutralized both of their attacks, they were about to launch another attack.

However, the next moment, a streak of cyan sword light pierced straight towards Liu Xianzong, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, appearing extremely sharp.

"Swish swish swish!" A streak of cyan sword light flashed and pierced Liu Xianzong's body.

Liu Xianzong couldn't help but scream, and then his whole body flew backward. He managed to get up from the ground with difficulty, looking extremely disheveled.

A mouthful of blood spurted from Liu Xianzong's mouth.

"A top-tier magic weapon... How could a mere brat from a cultivation family be able to casually produce something like a top-tier magic weapon..." Liu Xianzong stared at Song Daoxuan with an incredulous expression while clutching his chest.

Seeing this, the withered old man hurriedly went to Liu Xianzong's side, supported Liu Xianzong's shoulders, and then fed Liu Xianzong a pill with an extremely bright color.

Then he gave Song Daoxuan a cold glance.

"You little brat, you do have some real skill, but if you think you can win like this, you're underestimating the Blood Burning Cult! Do you think we're called the Blood Burning Cult for a reason?"

"What did you feed me?" After swallowing the pill, Liu Xianzong not only recovered from his serious injuries, but his whole body also shone with a blood-red light, revealing a fierce aura. In addition to this fierce aura, Liu Xianzong's Qi Refining Stage 9 power instantly increased by one level.

He was at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage, and his aura was even faintly approaching the barrier between the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

"Of course, it's this so-called Blood Burning Pill. Although it's a second-tier pill, it's not difficult to refine. Even a low-grade first-tier alchemist can eventually refine it by collecting the corpses of cultivators and continuously refining it through complex steps, at great cost!"

The greatest effect of this Blood Burning Pill is that it can increase a cultivator's magic power to the limit in a short period of time, but the price is that it depletes the cultivator's blood and qi. Within an hour, the cultivator will die suddenly, but at most, it can increase the magic power of the tenth level of Qi Refining to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

As for the Blood-Burning Pill, it only requires a drop of the alchemist's blood to be dripped at the crucial moment of pill condensation.

Afterwards, cultivators who take this pill will directly lose their minds and become human puppets controlled by the alchemist.

"If you were at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining, taking this pill would give you magical power comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. But it's a pity you're only at the eighth level of Qi Refining! Otherwise, it would be even more perfect!"

"Vice Leader, my brother and I used to serve you as an honored guest with all our hearts, and you actually fed me this pill! You will die a horrible death!" Before Liu Xianzong could finish speaking, the effects of the Blood Burning Pill were fully activated, and his clear eyes were instantly replaced by a red light.

"How naive you are! You've cultivated for so many years, yet there's no true benevolence or morality in this cultivation world. You foolishly believe that a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Tenth Level of Qi Refining would willingly work for you. In my eyes, you're nothing more than a pawn that can be discarded at any time!"

"Loyal slave, destroy this scoundrel!" the withered old man sneered.

"With just the two of us at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining, taking down this cultivator at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining will be a piece of cake! Then all the good stuff on these two will be mine. The mere Burning Blood Sect is just a third-rate force, what's the point of them staying here!"

With a command from the gaunt old man, Liu Xianzong's expression turned blank, and then he turned to stare at Song Daoxuan in front of him.

"Die!" Liu Xianzong gripped the long ruler and slashed fiercely at Song Daoxuan.

With a thought, the cyan longsword that was suspended in mid-air spun around and was once again in Song Daoxuan's hand.

Song Daoxuan held the Azure Lotus Sword in one hand and held up the superior-grade Xunfeng Shield in the other.

He barely managed to block Liu Xianzong's attack, his body blasting back several feet, but he seemed somewhat powerless.
