You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Closer, closer!"

Chen Huai'an only has one chance, and he cannot use magic attacks. If he uses magic attacks, the enemy will immediately notice as soon as he activates his magic power. The best course of action is to fight at close range. When the opponent makes a move to kill the Qingyun Sect disciple, that will be his chance to strike.

"Pfft!"

With a soft "pfft," just as the Yin Sha Sect's half-step Foundation Establishment realm expert sent Bai Zixuan flying, Chen Huai'an's flying sword pierced directly into the opponent's body with overwhelming force.

"Bang!"

Chen Huai'an had successfully launched a sneak attack, but a terrifying power suddenly erupted from the opponent's body, instantly blasting him away.

If it weren't for his abundant magical power, which allowed him to condense a magical shield in front of him, that attack alone would have killed him.

The strength of a Foundation Establishment realm expert is terrifyingly powerful.

Chen Huai'an had cultivated the Chaos Five Elements True Technique, which improved his strength. He believed that at the Qi Refining Realm, even a late-stage Qi Refining Realm expert could not harm him. He thought he could even hold his own against a Foundation Establishment Realm expert. However, after fighting with the opponent, he realized that there was an insurmountable gap between the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Damn it, how dare they ambush me!" The half-step Foundation Establishment realm expert from the Yin Sha Sect was both shocked and furious.

What was shocking was that someone had actually launched a sneak attack; what angered him was that the attack had succeeded and had even injured him.

Chen Huai'an naturally knew the difference between the two. After being blasted away by the recoil, he immediately used the recoil to escape underground with an earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique that allows one to escape into the ground and disappear).

The strength of a Foundation Establishment realm expert is too terrifying; it's not worth fighting to the death for a stranger from the same sect.

Bai Zixuan knew there were fellow disciples nearby, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful. They had been holding back until now before unleashing their power, and they even managed to injure this half-step Foundation Establishment expert with their first move.

When he used his divine sense to search for the fellow disciple who had made the move, he discovered that the disciple had vanished right before his eyes.

This person must be very strong. He was able to ambush and severely injure a half-step Foundation Establishment realm expert. He is definitely not a low-level cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining realm. He is likely a master at the peak of the ninth level, just like him. If the two of them cooperate, they might be able to accomplish a great feat and kill a half-step Foundation Establishment realm expert.

Chen Huai'an's internal organs trembled violently, but he did not continue to act rashly. Instead, he chose to use wood-based magic to heal his injuries.

Although the injury is not fatal, it will definitely affect his ability to fight in the future.

He has already done more than enough to help the other party this time, and he will not take any more action. Even if he does take action, it will be on the premise of ensuring his safety.

"Senior brother, please lend a hand. Let's join forces and wipe out these scum from the Yin Sha Sect!" Bai Zixuan shouted, hoping that Chen Huai'an, who was hiding in the shadows, could help.

He ignored the shouts, remaining hidden in the shadows like a ghost, showing no intention of revealing himself.

Chen Huai'an did not make a move, which was actually the optimal solution. The enemy hidden in the dark was like a venomous snake, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Chen Huai'an remained hidden, preventing the half-step Foundation Establishment expert from the Yin Sha Sect from unleashing his full power. This was because a venomous snake was lurking in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment, preventing him from acting freely.

Bai Zixuan managed to save his life thanks to this rare opportunity, but he also knew that the Yin Sha Sect's half-step Foundation Establishment expert was only staying because he was wary of Chen Huai'an, who was hiding in the shadows. He could use this opportunity to recover some strength so that he could cooperate with the other party to kill him. Even if he couldn't kill him in the end, he could at least save his own life.

"Damn bastard, cowardly rat hiding his head and tail, you think you're a righteous sect? Get out here!" The half-step Foundation Establishment realm expert from the Yin Sha Sect roared incessantly, hoping to force Chen Huai'an out, but Chen Huai'an was determined not to show himself, and the other party really couldn't do anything about it.

"I knew you were hiding nearby. Did you really think you'd disappeared?"

"Boom! Boom!"

The man in black activated his flying sword and charged directly at Bai Zixuan. With a wave of his hand, several beams of black light shot out in all directions. He refused to believe that his area-of-effect spells wouldn't be enough to expose the scoundrel hiding in the shadows.

The half-step Foundation Establishment realm expert had already unleashed his fury, and Bai Zixuan was simply unable to withstand it. He kept coughing up blood, and his strength had been completely exhausted. He could no longer continue fighting and had to find a way to escape this place.

Those fellow disciples hiding in the shadows are really too cunning. They are already injured, and the other party has not even made a move to attack. With their strength at the late stage of Qi Refining, even if they are ultimately defeated, as long as the other party shows up, with their cultivation, even if they cannot kill the other party, it should be no problem for them to save their lives.

What Bai Zixuan didn't know was that this fellow disciple hidden in the shadows wasn't some powerful expert at the peak of the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, but a low-level cultivator at the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Once he showed himself, he wouldn't be able to help him at all.

The opponent has gone berserk and is attacking indiscriminately. If he continues to hide in the shadows, he will definitely be affected by the opponent's almost carpet-bombing attack.

Bai Zixuan has lost his fighting ability and is now at his last gasp, so he can't be of any help. The Yin Sha Sect didn't kill him because of his presence.

"There is only one way to resolve this crisis: kill that cultivator in the mid-stage of the Yin Sha Sect's Qi Refining Realm. Only then will he be wary and dare not act rashly." Chen Huai'an kept his divine sense focused on the surrounding movements, and he was also thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

It's unrealistic to expect anything from these two disciples of the Qingyun Sect; he can only rely on himself.

During one of the enemy's attacks, Chen Huai'an took advantage of the chaos to use his earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique, and he immediately infiltrated another battle zone.

This disciple of Qingyun Sect, who was at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, was already at his limit and could not hold on any longer. He had used up all the talismans he could, and he had already suffered severe injuries. Even if he wanted to run away, he couldn't.

"die."

The Yin Sha Sect disciple wielded a giant sword magic weapon. He poured all his magical power into it and slashed at the Qing Yun Sect disciple.

Chen Huai'an used his vine technique to its fullest extent, wrapping it around his opponent and throwing him backward. His bone shield also flew out to block the opponent's sword strike.

That wasn't all; Chen Huai'an then unleashed a barrage of fireballs at his opponent.

He can't handle a half-step Foundation Establishment expert, but surely he can deal with a Qi Refining Realm mid-stage fourth level expert?

Chen Huai'an unleashed a barrage of fireballs, completely stunning his opponent. He followed up with a barrage of earth spikes, instantly tearing through the opponent's mana shield. The immense impact sent the opponent flying.

"Damn it, how dare you!" The battle between Chen Huai'an and his group happened in the blink of an eye. The half-step Foundation Establishment expert realized that something was wrong, roared, and then slashed at Chen Huai'an with his sword.

Chen Huai'an didn't fight the opponent head-on, and then disappeared from the spot using an earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic or technique).

The opponent's angry attack failed to harm Chen Huai'an, but instead created a large crater in the ground. The aftershock of the attack directly injured the Yin Sha Sect disciple.

"I've got you! Let's see where you can run now." The moment Chen Huai'an burrowed underground, he was detected by the other party's divine sense, and then another sword strike was delivered towards the place where he was hiding.
