Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Thinking of this, he bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, these two are my fellow disciples. They have inadvertently offended you today, and I apologize to you on their behalf."

"Of course, it was my two junior sisters who attacked first this time. I will not treat Fellow Daoist Jiang unfairly. I am willing to compensate you with one hundred spirit crystals, plus a high-grade spiritual weapon. I only hope that Fellow Daoist Jiang can spare them this time for the sake of the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dao Sect."

Spirit crystals are far superior to top-grade spirit stones in the lower realm. Each one contains more than ten thousand times the spiritual power of a top-grade spirit stone, and it is also the spiritual energy of the spirit realm, which is purer and more concentrated, making it extremely beneficial to cultivators in the lower realm.

Xiao Yue didn't explain further; he had already stated his conditions, and whether Jiang Han agreed or not was up to him.

Jiang Han looked him over from afar, and upon hearing this, simply replied calmly:

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is joking. The two of them have set an ambush here to take my life. How can I let them leave so easily?"

"However, since you are willing to stand up for them and take on this karma, why don't you try to save them from my hands?"

Xiao Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you intend to fight to the bitter end?"

As he spoke, he chuckled to himself, "Heh, fellow Daoist, your words are a bit too presumptuous."

"I can remind you, fellow Daoist, that I am a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, possessing the Mountain Forging Law of the Great Perfection Realm and the Edge Breaking Law of the Great Completion Realm. Although I do not cultivate both Dharma and Body, my physical body has been forged over hundreds of years and is already as hard as a divine weapon, difficult to break with swords and spears, and is not much different from the physical body of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Although Fellow Daoist Jiang is quite strong, possessing the strength of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm upon entering the Nascent Soul realm, he is still far too weak in front of me."

He shook his head and laughed, "Take my advice, fellow Daoist, you should know when to stop. A hundred spirit crystals is quite a lot."

He could clearly see that the reason the other party was able to beat his two junior sisters so badly was entirely due to that trace of divine lightning generated by the fusion of thunder and wood.

That divine lightning of law was indeed very strong, so strong that even he was shocked. However, the fusion of laws is extremely difficult, and to achieve even a trace of it is a blessing from heaven. It is impossible for the opponent to unleash it a second time in a short period of time.

As long as he can overwhelm his opponent with absolute superiority when he makes a move, the opponent will have no chance of winning.

Therefore, although he was somewhat wary of this young man and spoke very politely, it did not mean that he was afraid of him.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul? Heh, is that impressive?"

Jiang Han's tone was somewhat doubtful before he continued:

"Further words are useless. Since you insist on taking on this karma for the two of them, then I will grant your wish."

He had originally planned to use these geniuses from the upper realm to test his strength after his breakthrough. The two from earlier were too weak; they couldn't withstand even one move.

This mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is just right, but he speaks too arrogantly. That air of superiority from the upper realm can be smelled from thousands of miles away.

Jiang Han was confident in his experience dealing with this kind of person; all he needed to do was beat them up.

Negotiations broke down, and Xiao Yue abandoned all restraint, gripping his long sword tightly and holding it to his chest, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

“Stubborn fool, this sword of mine is a true spirit weapon containing the essence of true spirit, and contains the power of the law of shaking mountains. When the sword is drawn, it can destroy the world. With the small sword in your hand, I'm afraid you can't even withstand one of my blows.”

"With this one, I now possess three laws. When combined, few of my peers can rival me. But since you insist on fighting, I'll show you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of purple light appeared beside the figure in the distance, and a sword light instantly crossed the void, appearing out of thin air in front of him, and stabbing straight toward his heart.

At the same time, an impatient voice came from afar:

"So much nonsense."

*Pfft! Ding—!*

Xiao Yue reacted extremely quickly. The moment the sword light appeared, he was startled and hurriedly retreated, raising his sword to block the flying sword.

But he was a second too slow. Although he managed to avoid the heart, his left arm was slashed open.

A ball of blue lightning coiled above the wound, frantically tearing at his flesh and desperately trying to drill into his body.

The wound kept throbbing with intense pain, along with a numb, itchy, and weak sensation, constantly assaulting his mind.

Xiao Yue frowned in discomfort, glanced at the wound on his left arm in surprise, and quickly activated the laws to block the lightning.

After doing all this, a sense of alarm returned to him, and he quickly drew his knife to parry while dodging, barely avoiding a straight thrust, but this time he got another wound on his right arm.

Such speed, such eerie lightning! His divine sense couldn't even detect Jiang Han's movements; he could only passively defend himself after Jiang Han got close.

When he was watching the battle from a distance, he didn't think the opponent's speed was that outrageous; he just thought it was about the same as Qingyu's.

But when they actually started fighting, he realized that his opponent was not only much faster than him, but also incredibly fast at controlling his sword. If it weren't for his superior cultivation level, he would have been worn down to death.

As Xiao Yue pondered, sword light flashed around him, and in just a moment, several cuts were made on his body.

His protective laws were completely unable to withstand the power of the sword light. They would be torn open as soon as they touched it, which was simply against common sense. Could it be that the opponent's laws were at a higher level than his, or that they were close to the origin?

"Arrogant brat..."

Xiao Yue had figured out Jiang Han's plan. Knowing that his cultivation level was inferior to Jiang Han's, Jiang Han intended to use this slow and steady approach to wear him down with the power of his flying sword.

"You're like a frog in a well, only letting you have your way earlier. Did you think I was just going to hide?"

He roared, and his aura suddenly surged. With a clench of his five fingers, a phantom of a tall mountain condensed in the sky. A heavy pressure burst out, and the space within a radius of thousands of miles suddenly froze.

In an instant, the Thunder Sword, which had already rushed halfway, was suppressed in mid-air. Its movements became heavy and powerless, and its speed decreased by hundreds of times. It was like a bird trapped in water, only able to move slowly, no longer as agile as before.

At the same time, Xiao Yue slashed horizontally with his sword, and a ten-thousand-foot-long sword beam immediately flew out, its momentum heavy and its speed rapidly increasing.

Wherever it passed, space was frozen and imprisoned, then shattered inch by inch. The broken earth was crushed and pulverized. The blade's momentum was like a mountain, heavy and solid, making people's consciousness slow down.

This strike was more than ten times more powerful than the previous one.

The Thunderclap Sword was still frozen in mid-air and could not be retrieved, but Jiang Han showed no fear. He raised his palm and flipped it, and green light quickly spread out in all directions.

Wood overcomes Earth; the Spring and Autumn Annals in his palm are the domain transformed by the laws of wood.

The shattered earth around them began to churn and writhe, and in an instant, countless tender green branches sprouted, growing wildly into towering trees and spreading outwards. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding ruins transformed into a forest.

Countless vines grew rapidly along the giant tree, their tendrils swaying and twisting in the forest, dense and numerous, looking extremely eerie.

The next moment, the vines swiftly attacked, piercing through the stagnant pressure and wrapping around the nearby blade light.

The blade light was extremely powerful; the vines were crushed to dust upon contact. However, the shattered vines would still adhere to the blade light, and even take root and sprout on it, using the power of the mountain to grow new vines.

In the blink of an eye, the ten-thousand-foot-long blade of light was covered in green, its power drained by the dense vines, and it lost all its strength, crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

"What on earth is this thing? A domain of the Law of Wood? Whose domain is this strange? You kid, you wouldn't happen to be a heretical cultivator, would you?!"
