At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Chapter 204: Giving Someone Face

"Stop holding back. This beast's bloodline is extraordinary, I'm afraid it's not much lower than that Yellow Mane Hound."

"Go all out and quickly take it down!"

After letting out a low roar,

the black-clothed male cultivator flipped his wrist and once again summoned a long [weapon/item].

Judging by the spiritual energy fluctuations, this was indeed a treasure.

Hearing this,

the other two no longer hesitated and all took out their trump cards.

What the black-clothed female cultivator held was a long whip treasure, while Fu Yang revealed a three-foot long saber.

This item looked unremarkable,

but the spiritual energy fluctuations it emitted were far more intense than the treasures in the hands of the other two combined.

Seeing this, the black-clothed male cultivator's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly sent a voice transmission:

"Why did you even summon the Boundless Pseudo-Treasure?

This item was given to you by the sect for saving your life and self-defense, and it is quite precious. Displaying it under everyone's gaze will inevitably cause others to harbor malicious intentions and attract unnecessary trouble!"

As expected,

before he even finished speaking,

sharp-eyed cultivators recognized the item.

"Could that be the famous saber Boundless?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused an uproar.

The other Qi Refining cultivators heard this and all looked over.

Although their cultivation realm was low, they had read quite a few ancient texts,

so naturally, they had heard of the name Boundless.

Although Jiuhua County in Yu Prefecture was just a small, unknown place,

many Golden Core Stage mighty figures had also appeared sporadically from ancient times until now.

Many of these cultivators throughout the long years had long since passed away,

but the magic treasures they once possessed had changed countless owners and had been passed down through generations.

These magic treasures accompanied their masters and shone brightly in Jiuhua County more than once.

So there were busybodies who, according to power level, compiled a ranking list,

ranking these magic treasures and recording them in ancient texts.

This Boundless was precisely the magic treasure ranked fourth on the Jiuhua County Top Ten Famous Sabers list.

Now being able to personally witness the reappearance of the legendary famous saber, how could they not be surprised?

But among these Qi Refining cultivators, there were also those with extraordinary experience.

They quickly noticed the subtle differences.

"No, this should not be Boundless,

that legendary famous saber magic treasure ranked fourth should not only have this much power.

However, although this saber's power is slightly inferior, it is extremely similar to what is described in that ancient text. Could it be, this is a magic treasure replica?"

"It should be a magic treasure replica. I just said that he, a Foundation Establishment (Early Stage) cultivator, how could he possibly possess a true complete magic treasure?

Such a rare item, even if Lingxiao Sect really has it, it's unlikely they would give it to a disciple who has only recently become famous, right?"

"Today is truly an eye-opener,

I, a small cultivator who has never even seen a magic treasure, actually personally witnessed a higher-grade replica whose power is closer to a true magic treasure!

It was truly worth this trip!"

"Even if it's a replica treasure, it's enough for this demonic beast to suffer, right? After all, this is a replica of the famous saber Boundless!"

"That's for sure, this demonic beast is probably going to have bad luck."

The cultivators were extremely excited and discussed animatedly,

but they did not notice that Li Lan's clay-sculpture-like body also slightly moved.

Inside his Dantian,

the Qinghong Duan Shui Sword, originally being nurtured in the source of magic power, seemed to also sense the aura of Boundless,

and at this moment, like a beast whose territory was invaded and provoked, it was emitting a buzzing sound, unwilling to show weakness.

The magic treasure's abnormality forced Li Lan to withdraw from the state of empathizing with and comprehending the breakthrough.

"Be quieter. The opportunity to observe someone else's breakthrough is rare, don't disturb my sudden enlightenment."

He activated his magic power to form a finger and lightly flicked the sword body,

only then did the latter slowly quiet down.

"Famous saber Boundless—could it be that there is still some connection between it and this Qinghong Duan Shui Sword?"

Li Lan's brow furrowed slightly, and he carefully pondered the reason for the magic treasure's abnormality.

Not far away,

facing the black-clothed male cultivator's voice transmission, Fu Yang laughed brazenly:

"These mere Qi Refining Great Perfection minor cultivators, even if they discover it, what can they do?

Do they dare to attack this young master?

Furthermore, quickly resolving this beast also saves us from things getting complicated, doesn't it?"

As he spoke,

Fu Yang activated the pseudo-treasure in his hand and met it.

That famous saber Boundless glowed brightly and instantly transformed into countless saber lights filling the sky, overwhelmingly covering the sheep spirit phantom.

The saber light was boundless, and each one among them gave people an unstoppable feeling.

Boom!

The countless saber edges and the sheep spirit phantom confronted each other head-on, neither side retreating even half a step,

and for a time, they were locked in a stalemate.

Seeing this situation, the lion-shaped demonic cultivator,

opened its large blood-filled mouth and once again spat out an orange-red, rounded object, which was precisely the most important demonic core within a demonic beast's body.

The demonic core of a demonic beast is different from the Golden Core that only appears in human cultivators at the Core Formation Stage,

this item's toughness and power will grow along with the demonic beast's cultivation realm,

and many times it is not weaker than magic tools of the same grade, so it is usually used by demonic beasts as a special magic tool.

Fu Yang was fully activating the pseudo-treasure to suppress the sheep spirit phantom,

and if he were hit head-on by this demonic core at this time, he would inevitably end up dead and annihilated.

But he was not alone,

seeing this situation, the two black-clothed cultivators, one male and female, immediately controlled the treasures in their hands and met it.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the spiritual energy of the entire area was stirred up and became even more chaotic,

and the spiritual energy storm gathered by the Yellow Mane Hound relying on its breakthrough was even shaken violently and became unusually chaotic, showing a faint tendency to dissipate.

Li Lan originally didn't want to interfere,

but he still wanted to use the other party to glimpse the complete process of breaking through to Foundation Establishment (Mid Stage), so naturally, he couldn't just watch this dog demon's advancement fail.

After weighing the situation for a moment,

he lightly sighed and flicked his finger.

Seven or eight formation flags quickly flew out and landed around the Yellow Mane Dog Demon.

The formation quickly activated, protecting the latter within it,

while concealing the astonishing breakthrough commotion and also stabilizing the spiritual energy storm.

Afterwards,

Li Lan did not make any further moves but instead continued to observe the Yellow Mane Dog Demon's breakthrough without blinking.

The lion-shaped demonic cultivator and Fu Yang's group of three were in a stalemate for a long time,

however, although the demonic beast's physical body was powerful, it was difficult to defeat the latter's numerical advantage.

In the end, it was still due to excessive magic power consumption and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Fu Yang was immediately overjoyed in his heart,

and the speed of his magic power activation immediately quickened by a few points.

The Boundless Pseudo-Treasure saber body suddenly emitted a blue light, the countless saber lights filling the sky became increasingly sharp, seemingly wanting to completely cut and shred everything in front of it.

In contrast, the sheep spirit phantom became increasingly dim, clearly it was at the end of its rope,

as if a single breath could make it completely dissipate without a trace.

Just at this moment,

the black-clothed male cultivator's prompting voice was heard in Fu Yang's ear again.

"This beast won't last much longer, the two of us will hold it back, you quickly go and finish off that Yellow Mane Hound!

To prevent other cultivators from suddenly interfering again and ruining the important matter."

Fu Yang also knew he couldn't delay at this moment,

it wasn't just about other cultivators rushing here, if they let it go unchecked and that dog demon advanced to the fifth rank mid-stage, it would be even more troublesome.

It's better to take his life while he's weak and finish off this Yellow Mane Hound early.

Thinking of this,

Fu Yang's spiritual sense moved, and the blade of the Boundless Pseudo-Treasure tilted,

and the countless saber lights filling the sky then directly headed towards the Yellow Mane Hound.

"Despicable human, you wish!"

The lion-shaped demonic cultivator roared angrily and recklessly threw himself sideways to block.

"Freeze!"

The black-clothed female cultivator swung the long whip treasure in her hand, turning into layers of light that firmly bound it in place, tying it securely.

No matter how hard the lion-shaped demonic cultivator struggled, it was useless.

Its physical body was temporarily unable to escape,

and its companion spirit item and demonic core were also tightly held back by the black-clothed male cultivator,

at this moment, it seemed to only be able to watch helplessly as its life-and-death friend's breakthrough progress was interrupted,

and was caught off guard and chopped into a pile of minced meat under those countless saber lights filling the sky.

The lion-shaped demonic cultivator's eyes were about to split, and it let out a mournful cry of grief and indignation,

it was already unwilling to face that cruel reality.

A cruel smile had already appeared on Fu Yang's lips.

However, just as he was preparing to strike with full force to make this Yellow Mane Hound a soul under his saber,

a shadow that was also almost covering the sky and sun suddenly blocked in front of the Yellow Mane Dog Demon.

All those countless saber lights landed on it.

Although this item was cut until it was on the verge of collapse, it still managed to barely block this fatal blow in the end.

Fu Yang's face suddenly became extremely unsightly,

he fixed his gaze and looked,

and found that the object suddenly appearing to block the way was a large red kasaya treasure.

After this treasure shrunk back to its normal size and was put away, a figure stood horizontally in front of the Yellow Mane Hound.

That person was wearing a faded light blue long robe; although the material was ordinary, it was also managed by him to be quite clean and tidy.

A plain black leather belt was tied around his waist, on which hung an unremarkable storage bag.

Looking around,

his entire body exuded an air of simplicity and poverty; except for that storage bag,

there wasn't even half an item of decoration with magic power fluctuations to be found.

Although this person's face looked young, the graying strands of hair at his temples exposed his true age.

If one were to see this person in the Mortal World, most cultivators would probably take him for an ordinary mortal old man.

Fu Yang would never have thought that such an ordinary guy, who couldn't be more ordinary,

actually also had a treasure of extraordinary quality in his hand.

"Old thing, what do you mean by this?

You dare to block this young master's path? Are you really tired of living and seeking death?"

Li Lan glanced at the kasaya treasure in his hand, judging the power of the pseudo-treasure in the other party's hand by the degree of its damage.

Although his own treasure just made contact and was almost completely destroyed by the other party,

not only did he not feel any anger, but his heart became much calmer instead.

Although the Boundless in the other party's hand had a great reputation, in the end, it was ultimately just a replica,

and compared to those true magic treasures, it was still lacking quite a bit.

With the Qinghong Duan Shui Sword in hand, these three cultivators of the same realm were not worth fearing.

"I still need to borrow this Fellow Daoist demonic cultivator to comprehend the profound mysteries of breaking through to Foundation Establishment (Mid Stage),

so I cannot just let you easily interrupt its advancement.

Why don't you few give Xu a little face and stop for now.

After I comprehend the profound mysteries within, I can promise,

I will absolutely not interfere with what happens afterwards.

I wonder what you all think?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the four Foundation Establishment (Early Stage) cultivators present immediately all became exceptionally wonderful.
