Cultivation Kill

Yuan Yingwu's expression turned solemn, and he no longer dared to underestimate Shen Zige.

He condensed the poison gas into a ball, which turned into liquid, and then faced Shen Zige's guiding sword!

The guiding sword unleashed a terrifying shockwave, crashing into the cloud of poisonous gas. Its speed decreased drastically, as if it were stuck in quagmire. The sword's blade became coated with venom and immediately became immobile.

At the instant the sword energy wave exploded, five beams of magical light shot outwards, bypassing the poisonous gas cloud and attacking the Yuan Ying Mist—

Shen Zige thought to herself, "I won't make the same mistake twice. I can't let the poison gas block my attacks forever!"

Yuan Yingwu reacted quickly, hastily casting a golden light shield to defend himself.

His golden shield was immediately destroyed by the spell attack as soon as it appeared, and the five spells continued to fly and hit his body!

Brilliant magical lights exploded in turn, displaying various color combinations on Yuan Yingwu's face.

He used his body to block Shen Zige's attack, which directly consumed most of his spiritual power, and he almost entered a weakened state with no spiritual power left.

"I have no choice but to use a secret technique. I definitely won't be able to withstand the next attack!"

Yuan Yingwu glared at Shen Zige and roared.

His body gradually faded away—

Next, all of Shen Zige's attacks passed directly through Yuan Yingwu's body, as if passing through the mist.

Neither magical nor physical attacks can harm Yuan Yingwu when he uses his secret technique!

Yuan Yingwu rushed towards Shen Zige. His secret technique had a limited duration. If he couldn't defeat Shen Zige within the duration of the technique, he would fall into a weakened state of spiritual energy depletion.

In the distance, Shi Yuan was also pressing the two people surnamed Yuan. His counter-attack technique was adapted from Tai Chi, which allowed him to use the opponent's force against them and use their moves to counter their moves. He performed perfectly in the one-on-two battle. The couple who were attacking Shi Yuan often hit their teammates instead, and they almost fell out because of it!

Shen Zige used the Golden Light Shield to block, but unexpectedly, the Yuan Ying Mist passed directly through the Golden Light Shield like a ghost.

With no other option, Shen Zige had to dodge Yuan Yingwu's attacks. His reaction and speed were no slower than Yuan Yingwu's, and if he just dodged, no matter how high Yuan Yingwu's damage was, he couldn't hit him!

One minute later.

Yuan Yingwu retreated, his secret technique was nearing its end, and he had little spiritual power left in his body.

He ran toward his two comrades who were fighting Shi Yuan, but unexpectedly, his side was the one that lost the fastest!

This couple just unleashed their ultimate move, a combined attack that, in terms of power, is definitely greater than the sum of its parts!

The two held hands and spun around each other, creating countless whirlwinds that swept and spread outwards.

Shi Yuan tested its power, and his skin was cut with bloody marks. This whirlwind was like a sharp blade!

Counterattack!

Shi Yuan directed the combined whirlwind towards Yuan Yingwu, whose secret technique just disappeared. Meanwhile, his teammate's killing move was indiscriminate, and he was directly cut into countless pieces by the whirlwind!

"Shi Dazhu, the person who broke your legs has been punished," Shen Zige thought to herself upon seeing this.

The guiding sword transformed into a bolt of lightning in mid-air, piercing towards the center of the whirlwind!

This teaching and training sword used by the new disciples of the Heavenly Sword Palace, under the influence of sword control techniques, broke the sound barrier with its speed, produced a loud bang, and made a second sound when it pierced the whirlwind.

The guiding sword was deflected and flew back. Shen Zige leaped up, caught it, and swung it again. A crescent-shaped sword aura spread out and flew swiftly toward the Yuan couple!

"These two have complementary spells and work together seamlessly. Together they are even stronger than the average early Foundation Establishment cultivator!" Shi Yuan said to Shen Zige.

"It's alright, the two opponents I faced were relatively weak," Shen Zige said, "which is why I was able to gain the advantage so quickly."

Shi Yuan also drew his sword and said, "Let's attack together once the whirlwind between the two of them has subsided!"

The two guessed that this incredibly powerful combination of whirlwinds wouldn't last long.

Unexpectedly, the whirlwind disappeared as soon as the two finished speaking.

Their sword energies intertwined and combined, flying towards the Yuan couple together—

"Ding Ding!"

The two sword energies were deflected, and a tortoise-shell-shaped protective shield appeared around the Yuan Clan's dual cultivation.

"Spiritual Artifact Shield!"

Shi Yuan exclaimed in surprise as he saw Yuan Yingfeng holding a cyan jade tablet. The tablet emitted a cyan light, which then transformed into a tortoise shell.

Such powerful protection could only be achieved by a spiritual artifact or a magic weapon. Shi Yuan guessed it was a spiritual artifact, because those below the Core Formation stage cannot control magic weapons, and even those at the Core Formation stage can only use a tiny bit of the magic weapon's power!

Even cultivators at the Spirit Condensation stage cannot fully unleash the power of a spiritual artifact. Ordinary cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Condensation stage can only use about 10% of its power. However, none of the people in the Starlight Palace are ordinary Spirit Condensation cultivators; they are all invincible Spirit Condensation cultivators. Therefore, they can unleash 50% to 60% of the power of the spiritual artifact.

Shen Zige and Shi Yuan stood outside the tortoise shell light barrier, waiting for the tortoise shell to disappear.

Using magical artifacts is very energy-consuming, and the Yuan Clan's dual cultivation will eventually have to remove the tortoise shell!

Shen Zige silently recited the incantation.

The moment the tortoise shell disappeared, Yuan Yingfeng and Yuan Yingxue threw dozens of attack talismans around them. The power of all these attack talismans exploding was enough to cripple even a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

However, at the same time the tortoise shell disappeared, Shen Zige also made a move, throwing the magical fan into the air. The fan, painted with flowers of the four seasons, quickly expanded and released three-colored light to seal the Yuan Clan's dual cultivation!

Under the light of the three towns emanating from the magical fan, the attack talismans in the air seemed to lose their power, falling and exploding on the ground.

"How did you learn the Three Towns Light Mantra of Yuan Yinglin? Well done!"

Shi Yuan seized the opportunity, gripped the sword hilt tightly, and unleashed the strongest sword beam he had ever seen since becoming a cultivator at the Yuan Clan's dual cultivation!

The sword's edge seemed to transform into a soaring eagle, whistling as it rushed forward.

“Yuan Yinglin was reciting an incantation, and I happen to know a little bit of lip reading, so even though he didn’t say anything, I knew what he was saying.” Shen Zige cooperated by unleashing a sword strike.

The two sword beams, one after the other, intersected like a cross, slicing through the bodies of the Yuan clan's dual cultivators as easily as cutting tofu.

The protective spiritual energy of the two people flickered and was then sealed.

"Bang bang—"

Shen Zige retrieved the magical fan; there was no need to look, as the Yuan clan's dual cultivation was already dead.

The two turned to look at Di Zheng and Yuan Yingyun, leaving only one person behind!

Di Zheng and Yuan Yingyun are evenly matched, and they have been fighting for so long without a clear winner. Of course, it is also possible that both of them are holding back their moves.

Shi Yuan walked over, picked up the two people's storage bags, then went to the place where Yuan Yingwu died to pick up Yuan Yingwu's storage bag, and then returned to Shen Zige's side.

"Which two storage bags do you want?" Shen Zige said. "If you get the spirit weapon fan, you can give me this tortoise shell token. Of course, this victory was achieved through our joint attack, so I have to compensate you by giving you an extra storage bag. In return, I will teach you the Counterattack Technique as an exchange."

“No problem, any storage bag will do,” Shen Zige said.

Shi Yuan put a book into a storage bag and threw two storage bags to Shen Zige.

Shen Zige took it and put it into her bosom without even looking at it.

At that moment, the pentagram array in the center of the hall emitted a brilliant light, and the surrounding walls trembled.

"Formation activated!"

Yuan Yingyun abandoned Di Zheng and fled into the pentagram formation!
