Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Xie Ling's inner energy exploded once again, shaking the area within a radius of dozens of meters. Tables, chairs, and benches turned into pieces, splashing countless dust.

He was on all fours, his body was incredibly flexible, like a python, coiled around the pillar, not looking like a human at all, and he looked furious like an ancient ferocious beast breaking free from its seal.

"I wanted to keep you for a few more days so I could raise the price with Dianjiangshan, but you guys decided to kill yourself. You can't blame me then!"

Tianshan Tonglao's expression remained unchanged, without any fluctuation. She looked at Xie Ling as if she was looking at a dead person. The true energy in her body was divided into two. This was a mixture of Beiming Divine Art and Xiao Wuxiang Gong, which could be used for attack or defense.

"Buzz!"

There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and Tianshan Tonglao made a move. The Lingbo Weibu was extremely fast, and a series of illusory figures rushed in front of Xie Ling and raised their hands to stab with a sword!

Suddenly, the cold Qi as cold as ice crystals formed a dense river of sword energy and attacked Xie Ling.

Even if Xie Ling had no bones, he would still have no way to avoid the large-scale attack of true qi and could only take the blow head-on.

"Oh!"

It was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire inn.

Xie Ling's arms were covered with crimson Qi, like scales, but after the clash with the Tianshan Child-Fairy, they were covered with tiny ice crystals. The extremely cold Qi instantly invaded his body.

Ink-black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. It was unclear whether it was the backlash of his evil power or the heavy loss he had just suffered. However, his expression was unusually calm as he spoke:

"With your strength, you are enough to be ranked among the top strong men in Beimang. Those five old dogs lied to me."

"But in this martial world, when has the truth ever been spoken? You, Xie Ling, are trying to test the waters with me, Dianjiang Mountain. After I kill you, I will bring your heads back to Dianjiang Mountain. Your deaths will not be in vain."

Xie Ling's body was like a ghost, constantly swimming around the beams of the house, at a speed that was too fast to keep up with.

Then, Xie Ling grabbed the fighter plane, leaped down and attacked Tianshan Tonglao from behind. The red scales on his arms reappeared, and he swung them violently, like two steel swords and halberds, so fast that they left afterimages.

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan turned around and swung her sword. This time the true energy on the sword was replaced by extreme yang, as strong and fierce as the scorching sun. Her sword moves were opened and closed wildly, as if to overturn mountains and seas.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

The two men fought again, and the sharp swords slashed on the red scales, sparks flying.

Neither of them would back down anymore, and they all used killing moves when they raised their hands. The two kinds of true energy collided violently, directly blowing away and smashing all the tables, chairs and benches in the inn.

Even Xu Fengnian and the Zhadi soldiers who were far away were inevitably affected. They turned over and retreated quickly, each seeking cover to avoid being hit.

Xu Fengnian turned around and returned to Lin Fan's side. He looked curiously at the two people fighting downstairs and said, "This ghost thing looks difficult to deal with..."

"This person does have a solid foundation, but he chose to go astray. Practicing evil methods is no less than destroying his own future."

Lin Fan commented calmly, not caring much. "There are thousands of evil methods in the world, most of which rely on others to nourish oneself. This person's practice is also the same. The human heart and liver secretly combine the yin and yang energies. While nourishing oneself is feasible, it also has great drawbacks and hidden dangers."

"The way of yin and yang is born and nurtured by nature. If one cannot rely on oneself to refine it, then forcing someone to absorb it like this will inevitably disrupt the harmony of one's own true qi."

Xu Fengnian's face was filled with questions. He had never reached that realm before. After pondering for a moment, he still couldn't figure it out. He asked, "Being able to quickly absorb yin and yang and nourish oneself, is this really a bad thing?"

"If it's deficient, it will be depleted, and if it's full, it will overflow. The same goes for Yin and Yang. If your body is completely occupied by the vast and complex true energy, how can you leave any room for yourself?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Once you embark on this path, there's no turning back. The yin and yang in your body are so complex that refining your own Qi becomes impossible. All you can do is consume more hearts and livers of living people. If you keep doing this, you'll eventually reach the end and it will be difficult to move forward even a single step."

Xu Fengnian nodded, not quite understanding what was said. On the contrary, Tao Manman, who was standing beside him, glared at Wuxia and said:

"Isn't human cultivation like a river? If we don't dredge the river, it will sooner or later be filled with silt."

Lin Fan showed an approving look, and while he glanced at Xu Fengnian, he said, "Our Xiaoyao Sect disciples are truly quick to comprehend. They grasp things instantly. The true energy of heaven and earth is like living water, while those unorthodox techniques are nothing more than stagnant water. Over time, they will become foul and smelly."

While a few people were talking, the confrontation downstairs had reached a critical moment.

Xie Ling was in a very miserable state at this time. His whole body was covered with bloodstains, his hair was messy, and his arms were full of sword wounds, some of which were deep enough to see the bones. The red true energy around his body was not as strong as before, and could barely protect himself.

On the other hand, the Tianshan Child-Fairy was in the same condition. Apart from the fact that her sleeves were torn and the bloodstains were from the opponent's body, the fighting spirit in her eyes was even stronger, and she casually inserted the sword into the ground.

Fighting with bare hands is her best attack method.

"You bitch, you're using me as a whetstone!"

The fierceness and anger in Xie Ling's eyes grew even stronger. He could see that the other party did not take him seriously at all. The killing moves that seemed extremely ferocious just now were all the Tianshan Tonglao's self-training.

The last person who humiliated him like this was that female devil. All kinds of memories surfaced, arousing deeper anger in his heart.

Xie Ling let out a long roar to the sky, forcibly condensing the last of his crimson true energy, covering his arms completely, ready for a desperate fight.

The Tianshan Child-Fairy finally stopped holding back, and the Eternal Spring Technique was activated, and the Four Seasons Formation was slowly adjusted.

Of course, compared to the size of the formation released by Lin Fan, this can only be regarded as a miniature version.

Both the yin and yang energies were mobilized, including within Xie Ling's body.

Xie Ling, who had just rushed forward a few steps, could also feel that he was changing. The true energy that had been stagnant and unable to be reconciled before was now being straightened out, indirectly making him more powerful.

Xie Ling's face showed surprise, and he laughed loudly twice, saying, "I actually broke through myself in a bloody battle. Your death is coming! Even the heavens are helping me!"

With a "puff", the cold-faced Tianshan Child-Father was amused.

This was the first time she spoke during this duel: "After cultivating to your level, you might as well just crash into a wall and die."

The Summer Time Formation was repeatedly inflicted on the opponent by the Child-Fairy of Tianshan. Under the influence of the Four Time Formation, it was normal for Xie Ling to feel his own cultivation level increasing, as there were simply too many residues accumulated in his body.

The Tianshan Child-Fairy's eyes were scorching, and as the pure Yang Qi circulated throughout her body, the Six Yang Palm became even more powerful than before. She swung it forward violently, like the roar of a real dragon.

As soon as Xie Ling's body collided with the palm, his expression suddenly changed. He felt that the true energy in his body was out of control and was expanding at an astonishing speed.

Coupled with the power of the Six Yang Palm, the inside and outside echoed each other, and suddenly a raging fire appeared all over Xie Ling's body!

The crimson true energy was like dry firewood, ignited by the dreamlike fire, and a blood mist spurted out of Xie Ling's body!
