Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Rumble!

Xu Yun continued to flee out of the ancient hall, his figure disheveled, with streaks of blood clouds falling around him from time to time, exploding into bursts of fire.

In a fleeting glance, he saw Yanming and Daoist Tianlin locked in a fierce battle, occasionally freeing up their hands to deliberately target Xu Yun.

At this time, Daoist Tianlin would be forced to abandon his attack and instead cover Xu Yun's departure from the place, and his own aura would gradually decrease.

After fighting each other for a while, Yanming watched Xu Yun's figure completely disappear into the ancient hall and couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Tsk... They just got away like that? Well, at least I've achieved my original goal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yanming turned his gaze to Tianlin Daoist, who was panting slightly, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Although he gained some Foundation Establishment power through the Manifestation Pearl, he had forcibly used most of the restrictions he had refined when facing Tianlin Daoist's sneak attack, which consumed a lot of his own magic power.

If he were to confront Daoist Tianlin head-on, there would be a high risk of death and destruction. Therefore, he deliberately targeted Xu Yun, hoping to make the other party focus on covering Xu Yun's departure, thereby creating some openings.

Therefore, in Yanming's perception, Tianlin Daoist's aura is now almost the same as his own, or even worse.

Under these circumstances, Yanming was quite confident that he could kill his opponent and continue refining the remaining secret realm restrictions.

Even if something unexpected happens later, Yanming had secretly sent out a signal that other disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect would arrive soon, and they could continue the unfinished mission.

But before that, we must at least take this unknown cultivator away!

Rumble!

In an instant, Yanming attacked again, unleashing an aura far exceeding that of a Qi Refining cultivator. His blood surged, transforming into grotesque, writhing clouds of blood.

With a wave of his hand, these ferocious blood clouds roared out, carrying terrifying killing intent as they crashed down upon Tianlin Daoist, attempting to engulf him within them.

Swish!

Tian Lin remained unfazed upon seeing this. He formed hand seals, mobilized his magical power, and eerie black energy rose up, instantly condensing into a beam of black light.

The black light shifted and swirled, with faint, mournful howls of the dead echoing within, as if they were suffering all kinds of torment, making the black light increasingly solid.

The next moment, a beam of black light shot out, striking Xueyun and Yanming behind him.

"Even if you are also a demonic cultivator, how can you compare to the heritage of my Blood Fiend Sect and Heavenly Nether Palace!?"

Yanming sneered. Through the previous battle, he had already figured out that his opponent was also a demonic cultivator, but he remained fearless and even sneered.

Faced with the sharp black light that rushed towards him and shattered layers of blood clouds, Yanming remained calm and composed, immediately forming a hand seal and activating his divine power.

The next moment, the blood particles that had been separated from the shattered blood clouds drifted out and, under Yanming's control, quickly covered the sharp black light.

Buzz!

Then, more and more blood-red particles appeared on the sharp black light, and in the blink of an eye, the technique was quickly stained with blood-red light, containing overwhelming killing intent, and fiercely pounced towards Daoist Tianlin.

Not only that, Yanming changed his incantation again, and his magical power and spiritual energy began to rapidly dissipate. He actually forced the activation of the secret realm's restrictions once more.

The next moment, Tianlin Daoist originally wanted to avoid the blood-red light that was rushing towards him, but as Yanming activated the secret realm's restrictions, layers of cyan light rippled out around him, restricting all escape space.

"Heh, didn't expect that, did you? This strike is enough to completely obliterate your soul!"

Yanming trembled slightly, his breath weak, but the chilling intent on his face grew even stronger.

He had put a lot of thought into launching this attack, and even took advantage of the moment when his opponent had just unleashed his supernatural power and had not yet reacted, he forcibly activated the restrictions of the secret realm to assist himself once again.

Although this action accelerated the depletion of his magical power and caused excessive consumption, it was enough to pose a fatal threat to the opponent, or even cause their direct death.

"That was indeed good, but unfortunately... I still won."

When Tianlin Daoist, who was trapped by the secret realm's restrictions, saw the blood-red light rushing towards him and was about to pierce through him, he not only did not show the slightest sign of urgency or anxiety, but instead revealed a strange smile.

This smile made Yanming frown, and a vague sense of unease arose in his heart, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

However, the next moment, he seemed to sense something, and he froze on the spot with an incredulous look on his face, subconsciously looking in one direction.

Swish!

There, Xu Yun, who should have fled, had returned at some point, even holding a cyan longsword in his hand, which was now emanating an aura that made him feel extremely dangerous.

A top-grade first-tier magic weapon, the Azure Origin Sword!

Xu Yun's expression was cold and stern as he continuously poured his own magical power into the Qingyuan Sword. Not only that, but many banner spirits beside him also transferred their own magical power into it, making the aura of the Qingyuan Sword increasingly dangerous, emanating a sharp sword energy.

"Well done, Daoist Tianlin."

Holding the Qingyuan Sword, Xu Yun was no longer the disheveled figure he had been when he fled in such a sorry state, because everything that had just happened was an act put on by him and Daoist Tianlin.

He knew very well that Yanming possessed a portion of Foundation Establishment power and could also use the restrictions of the secret realm, making him extremely dangerous. Although Daoist Tianlin could kill him by paying a price.

However, Xu Yun was unwilling to do so. After all, Daoist Tianlin was not only a very good henchman, but also his external brain. What if excessive consumption affected his cultivation?

Therefore, he and Daoist Tianlin had planned everything in advance, with him first luring the other party into a situation where he would leave the ancient hall.

Then, Daoist Tianlin fought fiercely with him to attract Yanming's attention, thus creating a situation where he could secretly return, and then quietly activate the top-grade magic weapon Qingyuan Sword to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

It can be said that Yanming's every move was within their calculations.

"How could this be? Why did you come back? And what you're holding is... a top-grade magical artifact!?"

At this moment, Yanming, who had been confident of victory, revealed deep fear and horror, staring intently at the top-grade magic weapon in Xu Yun's hand, feeling that it was unimaginable.

The top-grade magic artifact has already subtly transcended the scope of magic artifacts; it is even occasionally used by those undergoing Foundation Establishment and advanced cultivation, demonstrating its truly extraordinary power.

Furthermore, with Xu Yun and the other banner spirits simultaneously channeling their magic power, this top-grade magic weapon immediately unleashed a terrifying aura. Even before it was activated, a chilling and sharp sensation swept over him, giving him the feeling that his soul had been slashed, causing him to tremble with fear.

"Don't worry, you will be reborn within my Banner of Ten Thousand Spirits in an instant."

Xu Yun smiled slightly, and then unleashed a sword strike he had been preparing for a long time without hesitation.

The next moment, a surging azure sword light roared out, carrying an incomparably terrifying killing intent, as if it wanted to cut down everything, heading towards the terrified Yanming.

boom!

Then, with a loud bang, the azure sword light engulfed everything.
