Mythical Cultivation

Zhuo Donglai's blood and energy were fully released, and he left Zhao Canglan and the other two behind in an instant. Seeing that the treasure was about to be obtained, Xiang Qingtian behind him immediately gathered all his blood and energy and stabbed the spear in his hand straight at Zhuo Donglai's back. Zhuo Donglai felt a chill from behind him just when his palm touched the treasure. He turned his body and avoided the shot, but he also missed the treasure.

Seeing Zhuo Donglai miss the treasure, Zhao Canglan stepped forward to take it. However, he felt a powerful force locking onto him. With his life at stake, he quickly dodged, only to find that Zhuo Donglai had dodged Xiang Qingtian's shot and turned to pounce on him.

Unexpectedly, he was a beat slower, caught by Zhuo Donglai's palm wind, and instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing Zhao Canglan injured, Xiang Qingtian also raised his spear and continued to stab Zhuo Donglai. However, Zhuo Donglai also took the treasure. The moment he took it, he also realized that this was the fortune treasure that the Palace Master had sent him here to find, the Kongming Pearl. It could be used to increase and protect the fortune. With this item, their Huanglong Palace would have a chance to become a first-class force. Thinking of this, he looked at the two people in front of him and became even more angry.

"You actually want to rob the treasure of the mansion master. You traitors, I will send you to the west today." These two people cannot be let go, otherwise the news will leak out, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to return to the mansion.

"City Lord, the villains are fierce. I'm afraid we can't defeat them with just the two of us." Seeing the treasure being taken away by Zhuo Donglai, he said to Qingtian.

"I was careless. I thought that I could compete with it with a spiritual weapon, but I didn't expect it was not enough. Now it's time to fight with all my strength." After saying that, he winked at Xiang Qingtian. Xiang Qingtian also understood that he might have to use secret techniques, and the sequelae of using secret techniques were not small, but he couldn't care less now.

Seeing the two men still trying to resist, Zhuo Donglai revealed a cruel smile. His Myriad Poison Palm became increasingly terrifying, leaving the two helpless. With a ruthless determination, the two men unleashed their secret technique, Jade and Stone Burning. Jade and Stone Burning could double their combat power for the duration of an incense stick, but it required burning half their blood. After the technique ended, they would become extremely weak. Without good blood supplements, they would likely not survive much longer. However, at this point, they couldn't afford to think too much.

The strength of the two men doubled instantly. Zhao Canglan's Liuyun swordsmanship, coupled with the spiritual weapon, was actually able to fight Zhuo Donglai on equal terms. Coupled with Xiang Qingtian's explosively increased strength, the two of them began to gain the upper hand with their cultivation in the middle stage of blood and qi. However, Zhuo Donglai, who was at a disadvantage, was not in a hurry. He only needed to delay the two and let their secret techniques expire, and then he could easily defeat them.

The three of them fought for dozens of rounds, and Zhuo Donglai did suffer a few wounds, but they were minor and not a major concern. Half an incense stick of time passed in a flash. Seeing that if this continued, neither of them would be able to escape, Xiang Qingtian resolutely exchanged injuries, hitting Zhuo Donglai with several palm strikes. A black aura began to emanate from his face. This was the toxicity of Zhuo Donglai's Ten Thousand Poison Palm beginning to take effect, but Xiang Qingtian's reckless fighting style also caused Zhuo Donglai to suffer several more wounds, all of which were stabbed by Zhao Canglan when he found opportunities.

Zhuo Donglai had originally intended to drag it out slowly, letting their secret technique expire, but Xiang Qingtian hadn't expected him to trade his life for his own, which only infuriated him. "Since you want to trade injuries for injuries, I'll grant you that." He simply defended against Zhao Canglan's attacks, focusing most of his energy on Xiang Qingtian. This worsened his own injuries, but he was able to hold on.

After just a few rounds, Xiang Qingtian's face had turned extremely black, and he kept spitting out black and red blood from his mouth. It was obvious that he was doomed, and the key point was that the time of one stick of incense was about to expire.

If this continues, neither of them will be able to escape. Xiang Qingtian also became ruthless and hugged Zhao Canglan with his body and shouted

"City Lord, you saved my sister and I. Today is the day to repay you. After I die, please treat my sister well."

Zhao Canglan saw the opportunity Xiang Qingtian had bought with his life and knew he couldn't let it go. He stabbed the two men with a ruthless heart, piercing them like candied haws and killing Xiang Qingtian instantly. Zhao Canglan looked at Xiang Qingtian and swore in his heart, "Don't worry, I will take care of your sister as if she were my own sister. I will not let her get hurt at all. Your death will not be in vain."

Thinking that Xiang Qingtian had followed him for more than ten years and had always been his best helper, as for the life-saving grace he had received, Xiang Qingtian had actually done so many things for him over the years and had already repaid him. However, he was still diligently doing things for him in secret that he could not do. He had long regarded him as his confidant, but he did not expect that he would lose his life for him today. His heart ached.

Zhuo Donglai, a true cultivator of the late Blood Qi Realm, twisted his body at the last moment before Zhao Canglan's stab, deflecting the sword's impact slightly from his chest. He escaped with his life, but was also severely wounded. With a jolt of blood energy, he shook Xiang Qingtian loose from his embrace and fled, not intending to kill Zhao Canglan. A group of Zhao Canglan's guards were still in the distance, so escaping was the most important thing. He would return to settle the score with Zhao Canglan once his injuries healed.

"Zhao Canglan, this matter is not over yet, just wait." After shouting, he fled into the distance.

Seeing Zhuo Donglai escape alive, Zhao Canglan wanted to chase him down and deliver a finishing blow, but then the incense stick time ran out. He felt a wave of weakness throughout his body, the aftereffects of which had set in. He gave up the idea of ​​hunting down Zhuo Donglai. Any ordinary person could kill him now. So he could only order the surrounding guards, "Send out a team to hunt down the thief. Don't let him go."

He thought that if he was lucky enough to catch up with him, with Zhuo Donglai's current injuries, he might be able to kill him. The remaining half of the people would also protect Zhao Canglan back to Qingshi City. After all, the Misty Forest was not a good place. If he still had the strength, he would have nothing to fear. Now it would be better to go back and heal his injuries first.

The three major families in Qingshi City were still unaware of what was happening outside the city. They were only actively preparing for the war that was about to come. The Lin family had already called back some of the experts stationed outside the city, while the Xiao and Bai families were also gathering their forces.

Time passed quickly and it was the next day. The Xiao family and the Bai family also gathered their teams and came to the gate of the Lin Mansion.

"Lin Jinxian, get ready to die." An elder of the Bai family shouted and smashed the plaque on the door of the Lin Mansion to pieces with one move.
