Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Upon seeing this, Akagi Yoshihiro, who was rushing towards the scene from afar, narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something, and shouted angrily: "You are Xia Yuhui! Xia Yuhui, stop right now! Do you want to destroy the Xia family?"

As he spoke, he did not stop, but instead urged the three giant swords to attack Xia Yuhui again.

Xia Yuhui was not surprised when he heard Akagi Yoshihiro call out his name accurately. In the last battle, he had already shown his crimson lightning to the fullest extent. Cultivators who can unleash lightning are rare. It was not surprising that Akagi Yoshihiro could guess his identity.

Having been exposed, he stopped pretending and unleashed three bolts of crimson lightning, shattering the spells of the three giant swords.

He then did not intend to fight Akagi Yoshihiro, but instead turned his attention back to Mount Ling ahead. With a light wave of his hand, another bolt of crimson lightning struck the formation.

"Boom!"

The crimson lightning crashed down, causing the entire sacred mountain to tremble. However, the already damaged formation did not break immediately, but stubbornly held on.

Meanwhile, Akagi Yoshihiro had already reached Xia Yuhui and engaged in a fierce battle with him.

Since both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, the battle was extremely fierce, leaving the Red Wood cultivator inside the formation dumbfounded.

Clearly, all cultivators who are able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage are experienced in combat.

Although Xia Yuhui currently possesses two top-grade magical artifacts and a Hundred Ghosts Banner, none of these three treasures can be used, as they are all things that cannot be exposed to the light of day.

Therefore, he could only fight bare-handed against Akagi Yoshihiro, who was wielding a top-quality longsword.

Of course, this wasn't truly bare-handed; streaks of crimson lightning occasionally flashed in his hands, more than enough to deal with Akagi Yoshihiro. After all, he was still a body-refining cultivator.

"Xia Yuhui, I know it's you. You should think this through. Our two families have already ceased hostilities." Seeing that he, a veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator, could not defeat Xia Yuhui after a long time, Akagi Yoshihiro had no choice but to launch a verbal offensive, trying to make Xia Yuhui reveal a weakness.

Xia Yuhui was also extremely angry at this moment. How could the Akagi family start a war and stop a war whenever they wanted? How could there be such a good thing in the world? But he would not admit that he was Xia Yuhui, and instead chose to remain silent.

He couldn't admit it yet, as it would be inappropriate to bring the matter out into the open. If the war in the northern frontier ended in defeat, he would have no choice but to go to the battlefield, which was definitely not what he wanted.

Therefore, he did not release Qingfeng and Mingyue. After all, if he released Qingfeng and Mingyue, his crime would be beyond doubt.

Naturally, he couldn't continue to expend energy like this, so he had to deliver a heavy blow to his opponent.

Thinking of this, he immediately unleashed a crimson lightning bolt, repelling Akagi Yoshihiro. Then, he swiftly pointed his hand towards the sky, and in an instant, dark clouds filled the sky. "Fall!"

Not far away, Akagi Yoshihiro suddenly felt something lock onto him. He had witnessed Xia Yuhui use this move earlier and knew that it was very powerful, so he wanted to dodge immediately.

However, no matter where he wanted to move, that inexplicable feeling did not diminish in the slightest. Seeing this, Akagi Yoshihiro had no choice but to stop. He knew that he could not dodge this move and could only take it head-on.

In an instant, five or six giant swords appeared around him, shooting straight into the sky. Without pausing, he formed hand seals, and a golden bell enveloped him from all directions.

Just as he completed this step, the lightning crashed down in the next moment, "Boom!" The lightning instantly tore the five giant swords apart and then struck the golden bell.

With a loud "thud!", a deep pit appeared where Akagi Yoshihiro was standing.

Xia Yuhui above then unleashed more than a dozen crimson bolts of lightning, which crackled and popped in the deep pit.

However, a few breaths later, Akagi Yoshihiro, with disheveled hair and a ferocious expression, leaped out of the pit. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a golden ring appeared in his storage bag. This spiritual artifact was Akagi Yoshihiro's Vajra Ring, which was specially designed to trap people.

The next instant, Akagi Yoshihiro threw out the Vajra Ring, which hurtled toward Xia Yuhui at an astonishing speed.

Xia Yuhui showed no panic when he saw the magical weapon coming at him. His whole body was flashed with lightning, and he easily dodged the attack.

Then, Xia Yuhui moved like lightning, rushing towards Akagi Yoshihiro. Time was of the essence, and there was no room for delay. Perhaps another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Akagi family was on his way, so he had to act quickly.

As Xia Yuhui approached Akagi Yoshihiro, a black light suddenly emanated from his hands. Akagi Yoshihiro, who was about to use his abilities, momentarily lost focus, but then regained his clarity in an instant.

Xia Yuhui had already gripped a huge crimson bolt of lightning in his hand and struck it straight at the man's chest. If this strike hit, even if the man was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would surely die on the spot. After all, the physical body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is not indestructible and can still die if struck hard. Only those who cultivate their physique like Xia Yuhui can withstand several spells.

"Boom!" The attack hit its mark, but Xia Yuhui did not stop. He had noticed a protective armor on the man's body when he struck him, which was obviously for self-preservation. Therefore, the man should not be dead yet.

Just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow, Akagi Yoshihiro, who had been knocked away a distance, suddenly disappeared without a trace. When he used his divine sense to search around, he found that the man had already appeared in the distance.

Moreover, it was less than ten feet away from that sacred mountain.

"Damn it!" Xia Yuhui cursed angrily. He hadn't expected these family cultivators to be so difficult to kill. Even when facing death, they still had such life-saving methods. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Akagi Yoshihiro entered the formation.

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Yuhui had no choice but to flee into the distance. Although the battle had not lasted long, the Foundation Establishment cultivator had now entered the formation. If he wanted to break through this defense as solid as a tortoise shell, he would probably need to spend some more time. Therefore, time was running out, and he had no choice but to leave for the time being.

Although he failed to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, it was not a complete loss. He was still injured by that person, and judging from the severity of the injury, he would probably need at least two or three years of recuperation to fully recover, and he would be left with a hidden ailment for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, this person had many ways to save his life, and he failed to capture him; otherwise, the magical artifact in his hand would have fallen into his hands.

After leaving, Xia Yuhui did not return immediately, but went straight to the Chimu family's resource points along the way. Most of these resource points were guarded by only one or two cultivators. Xia Yuhui quickly killed and collected the souls of all these people, while also plundering the resources inside.

After seizing more than a dozen resources, he then left triumphantly.

An hour had passed since the battle, and now a middle-aged man descended from the sky, landing steadily outside the formation.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Akagi family cultivators within the formation immediately activated the formation and rushed forward, saying, "Ancestor, you've finally arrived! Please, do us justice!"

“Ancestor, I just heard Ancestor Hong say that the person is Xia Yuhui from the Xia family.”

"Yes, Ancestor, you must avenge us. Our family has suffered many casualties this time."

"Alright, all of you shut up. Take me to see Minghe and Yihong." Akagi Yoshinari shouted, interrupting everyone.
