Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

Jingwei's opponent at this moment is an old man who looks very similar to Ao Xu, who was killed by Jiang Jihai.

Both of them were at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Jingwei's weapon is the Seven Star Sword, passed down through generations of the abbot of Baiyun Temple. Although it is slightly inferior to the Heavenly Slaughter Sword of Xuanjian Pavilion, it is still a rare and excellent sword in the world.

The old man who looked very much like Ao Xu was wielding only a relatively ordinary soft sword forged from black iron.

Logically speaking, with Jingwei's strength and the blessing of the Seven Star Sword, even if she couldn't defeat the opponent who was at the same level as her, she shouldn't be in such a state of restraint and showing signs of falling into a disadvantageous position during the fight.

"I never imagined that the renowned Abbot Jingwei of Baiyun Temple would one day be defeated by me. Truly, the world is unpredictable, and this is truly gratifying!"

Hearing the sarcasm in the old man's words, Jingwei said calmly, "I never thought that the dignified Thousand Poisons Sect would willingly become a lackey of the Heavenly One Sect. You have truly disgraced your ancestor!"

The old man was not offended at all, and sneered, "What do you know! As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. The power of the Tianyi Sect is known to all! With the support and help of the Qianyi Sect, it won't be long before the Qiandu Sect, under my control, will surpass the Yunshui Palace and become the number one sect in the Dayong! The patriarch is too grateful to blame me!"

"Wrong doctrines and heresies!"

Jingwei sneered, "The Tianyi Sect has committed countless evil deeds and is already intolerable to Heaven and Earth. Sooner or later, it will be jointly destroyed by the righteous people! Since your Qiandu Sect is going to collude with them, you are not far from destruction!"

The old man looked at Jingwei and revealed a mocking smile, "Jingwei, you should worry more about yourself! You've been poisoned by my Fragrant Corrosion Powder. I'm afraid you'll be meeting your White Cloud Temple's founder before I do today."

"A mere bit of poison, nothing to fear!"

Jingwei roared and immediately mobilized all her internal energy to unleash another peerless martial art of Baiyun Temple, the "Tai Xuan Sword Manual".

Dozens of longswords, conjured from white true energy, appeared out of thin air and surrounded Jingwei.

As Jingwei continuously swung the Seven Star Sword in her hand, these longswords formed from true energy instantly flew towards the old man.

Although the old man said that, he was well aware of Jingwei's abilities. Even though Jingwei was currently affected by the Fragrant Corrosion Powder and could only exert seventy or eighty percent of her strength at most, he still dared not be careless.

Upon seeing nearly a hundred flying swords hurtling towards him, he immediately trembled and quickly used his true energy to condense a semi-circular protective shield, firmly protecting himself.

The old man was quite shocked to feel the powerful force of the flying sword, which was being controlled by Jingwei, striking the protective shield.

"That damned Taoist priest, even after being poisoned by the sutra, he can still unleash such power! I really underestimated him! -- No! If we continue this passive defense stalemate, my protective shield will be breached sooner or later!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the old man's eyes as he extended his left palm and began to circulate his poison technique.

Strands of black true energy began to swirl around the old man's palm, and as the black true energy gathered more and more, the old man's palm also began to turn black.

Once his entire palm had turned completely black, the old man flipped his wrist and pressed his palm against the ground.

The poisonous true energy accumulated in the old man's palm surged into the ground and, under the old man's control, began to rush from underground towards Jingwei.

"Let's see how you dodge my move, 'Ten Thousand Poisons Piercing the Heart'!"

After realizing that Jingwei hadn't noticed his secret attack, the old man smiled grimly.

If his palm strike had hit Jingwei, even if she hadn't died on the spot, she would have lost the ability to continue fighting due to the deadly poison.

In order to make the sneak attack more effective, the old man deliberately withdrew some of the true energy from the protective shield, hoping to distract Jingwei.

Just as the old man had imagined, Jingwei suddenly increased the force of her flying sword attack after seeing signs of the protective shield weakening.

Just then, the old man's palm strike, which had been driven into the ground, reached Jingwei's feet!

"Jingwei, witness the power of my palm strike!"

The old man laughed triumphantly and immediately raised one palm upwards.

The true energy accumulated beneath Jingwei's feet suddenly erupted with the old man's hand movements, bursting out of the ground and blasting towards Jingwei.

"not good!"

When Yue Qian and the other grandmasters saw Jingwei caught in the trap and tightly enveloped by the old man's highly poisonous black true energy, they were greatly alarmed.

If anything were to happen to Jingwei, their side would immediately lose a combatant.

With Wu Yan around, they were already at a disadvantage. If they lost Jing Wei, the snowball of their disadvantage would only grow bigger and bigger until it was completely irreversible.

Xuanxi, who was joining forces with Dao'an to fight against Wu Yan, naturally noticed the commotion on Jingwei's side.

But even if he wanted to rescue Jingwei, he was powerless to do so at that moment.

The strength that Wu Yan was unleashing at this moment far exceeded his and Dao'an's expectations.

All three of them were at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, but Wu Yan was able to suppress him and Dao Anlai with his own strength. The gap between them made him think of the worst possible scenario.

Xuanxi increasingly felt that Wu Yan in front of her was probably about to take that step!

If that's the case, then the Kōhōin and the four major sects' joint effort to "lure the snake out of its hole" has backfired, essentially shooting themselves in the foot.

If Li Chengyin hadn't met with this accident, the three of them working together might have had a chance to defeat Wu Yan, but now—

As Xuanxi thought of this, a blue figure involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Perhaps only Mr. Jiang's intervention could salvage the current situation.

But given Mr. Jiang's personality, would he really take the initiative to show himself and deal with Wu Yan...?

A sudden loud bang interrupted Xuanxi's thoughts.

"Impossible! You were poisoned by the Fragrant Corrosion Powder and struck by my Ten Thousand Poisons Palm, how could you be completely unharmed?!"

The old man who was fighting Jingwei stared in disbelief at Jingwei, who broke through his true energy blockade, rose up from the ground, and was surrounded by overflowing true energy.

"Do you really think I'd fall for your despicable tricks?"

Jingwei snorted coldly, no longer wasting words with the old man, and directly pointed the Seven Star Sword in her hand at the sky.

The Big Dipper pattern carved on the Seven Star Sword began to shimmer with brilliant light as the subtle internal energy was activated.

As the last star lit up, the seven illuminated points of light instantly transformed into seven streams of light, flying towards the sky above the old man's head.

All of this happened extremely quickly; in less than two breaths, the Big Dipper that had flown out rearranged itself above the old man's head.
