The Black Wind Old Monster let out a strange laugh and raised his hand to retrieve an item. "My old strength indeed only has one strike left. However, if you two wish to bury me here, you are still lacking in power. One of you will surely fall here today. As for who wants to rush towards the Underworld, feel free to decide."
The Meng Clan Cultivator glanced at the item in the Black Wind Old Monster's hand and, with a flash of Purple Light beneath his feet, turned and fled.
What the Black Wind Old Monster held was a high-level Flying Talisman. This meant that after killing one person, even if he exhausted his magic power, he could escape safely. Seeing this, the Meng Clan Cultivator realized there was no possibility of killing the Black Wind Old Monster and naturally did not want to take the risk. At worst, he could abandon the Cave in Great Wilderness Mountain and find another place to hide and cultivate.
Reaper Cui understood that while others could escape, as the instigator, he could only fight to the death. Knowing that only a desperate battle lay ahead, Reaper Cui would not give the Black Wind Old Monster a chance to strike first. He unleashed his hands, sending out more than ten Attack Talismans in an instant. This was all of his Attack Talismans.
Meanwhile, the Black Wind Old Monster cursed inwardly. While infusing himself with defensive Talismans, he summoned a remnant blade of a magical artifact to slash at Reaper Cui.
At this moment, both were using their life-or-death techniques. In the next instant, the Golden Giant Blade of the Black Wind Old Monster struck first against Reaper Cui's defensive shield. The sound of shattering echoed as the protective barrier broke apart. Reaper Cui held a spirit stone in each hand and sprayed Essence Blood onto his close-range Spell Protective Shield. The Blue Shield quickly transformed from deep blue to purple-brown and thickened like a solid object. The Golden Giant Blade finally crashed through more than ten layers of defense created by Talismans and struck against Reaper Cui's Magic Shield with a loud bang. In an instant, purple light and golden radiance erupted as the Golden Giant Blade effortlessly broke through the defense and struck Reaper Cui.
However, Reaper Cui's desperate measures were not without effect. After the flash of light faded, he stood on one leg, having lost one leg at the hip and with his right arm reduced to half, blood flowing profusely from his wounds. Yet he grinned menacingly at his opponent.
Reaper Cui's wave of Talisman attacks had also completely shattered the Black Wind Old Monster's defenses. At this moment, the situation for the Black Wind Old Monster was no better than that of Reaper Cui. His body was charred black, both arms severed, yet he stared intently at Reaper Cui. The two locked eyes for a moment before the Black Wind Old Monster growled fiercely, "No matter how tough your life is, today it comes to an end."
With that, he took out an Attack Talisman from his storage bag. In an instant, it transformed into a Fire Qilin that roared towards the sky and lunged at Reaper Cui. At this point, Reaper Cui not only had exhausted his magic power but also had no means of defense left; he was quickly reduced to ashes.
The Black Wind Old Monster put away his remnant blade and Reaper Cui's storage bag before fleeing in one direction.
Although this battle ended with him eliminating a great enemy, the Black Wind Old Monster found himself in dire straits as well, lacking any means of self-protection. If he were to encounter any opportunistic Cultivator now, he would surely be killed without mercy. He needed to leave quickly and find a safe place to heal and recover his magic power.
Meanwhile, Xunuo and Dongfang Yunqing were unaware of the dangers of this battle as they fled. After exhausting three Intermediate Flight Talismans in succession, they finally realized that those pursuing them were determined to take their lives without relent.
Xunuo swiftly took Dongfang Yunqing's magical imprint and darted off in another direction. As expected, the two pursuers split up and chased after him.
Behind Xunuo was an Eighth Layer Cultivator, while the Ninth Layer Cultivator closely followed Dongfang Yunqing.
Seeing no way to shake off the two, Xunuo contemplated killing them instead. Dividing and attacking was a more reliable strategy for him, and it would also make it easier to conceal his Divine Sense.
When Xunuo reached a desolate slope, he suddenly stopped. He threw out the Twelve Flag Array according to its formation. With a flick of his Main Array Flag, the barren slope transformed into a lush forest stretching over a thousand feet. Xunuo then concealed himself within.
The pursuing Cultivator flew above the forest and looked around, suddenly bursting into laughter. "You fool! You think you can hide your tracks with a formation halfway through your escape? Do you think I'm an idiot? But this formation is quite nice; I'll take it."
With that, he dove into the forest below. Sure enough, he soon saw Xunuo standing confidently on a stretch of barren slope.
Seeing Xunuo's composed demeanor, the Cultivator felt a surge of caution. His Magic Shield glowed as he prepared to strike first. However, before he could act, Xunuo revealed a cone-shaped magical artifact over a foot long, shimmering with dazzling blue-black light, aimed directly at him.
In that moment, he realized he had kicked a steel plate. The opponent possessed a magical artifact, and even though he was one layer higher, it would still mean death for him. Without thinking twice, he turned to flee. But as he did so, he was shocked to see four more magical artifacts had appeared before Xunuo. He instantly thought this must be an illusion created by the formation. To him, such a thing seemed impossible. Yet moments later, he lost all consciousness.
Xunuo quickly cleaned up the battlefield, collected the spoils in his storage bag, and retracted the formation before heading in Dongfang Yunqing's direction.
Before parting ways, Xunuo had sent a message to Dongfang Yunqing instructing him to make a detour. Therefore, Xunuo accelerated his escape speed to catch up with Dongfang Yunqing ahead of him.
Upon reaching the approximate location, Xunuo immediately sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to Dongfang Yunqing and then concealed himself within another formation.
Receiving Xunuo's transmission, Dongfang Yunqing felt uncertain about the situation but believed that Xunuo had likely escaped danger. He followed the direction indicated by Xunuo and flew over without the pursuer noticing anything amiss. The Cultivator thought Dongfang Yunqing's evasive maneuvers were futile and ridiculous. Moreover, this Ninth Layer Cultivator was quite arrogant; he had been chasing without activating his Magic Shield, clearly underestimating his opponent's willingness to counterattack.
Suddenly, the Cultivator felt a rumble of thunder above his head. Realizing there was an ambush, he swayed his body, and a purple Protective Shield flickered to life around him. He quickly reached for a defensive Talisman to channel into his body. However, in the next moment, he froze as countless fire arrows shot toward him from all directions.
With ample experience in combat, he instinctively activated his magic to regain mobility and sank into the forest below. At the same time, a massive Thunder Ball crashed down where he had just been.
However, once he entered the forest, he felt a disorienting wave. Before he could assess his surroundings, he was surrounded by several overwhelming and fierce forces. Almost simultaneously, Five Shadow Needles pierced through him. He barely registered what was happening before he fell lifelessly to the ground.
Dongfang Yunqing watched from outside the formation, clearly seeing Xunuo's tactics unfold. But when he saw Xunuo rush into the formation, concern washed over him.
He deeply admired Xunuo's ability to escape danger. With several Talismans and stealthy maneuvers at his disposal, Dongfang Yunqing believed Xunuo had calculated everything perfectly. However, facing an opponent two levels higher in cultivation was akin to flying into a fire for Xunuo. Without hesitation, Dongfang Yunqing turned around, each hand raised with an Attack Talisman, and plunged into the formation below.
In the next moment, Dongfang Yunqing was left dumbfounded as he witnessed Xunuo unleashing a flame that reduced the Ninth Layer Cultivator's corpse to ashes. Grabbing the storage bag from the ground and tucking it away at his waist, Xunuo waved his hand to collect the Formation Flag and said a single word—"Go"—before darting off in a specific direction.
Though shocked, Dongfang Yunqing had no time to ponder; he hurriedly followed Xunuo as they fled. After half a day's travel, Xunuo finally halted their escape in a secluded valley. He tossed out the Formation Flag, which instantly transformed the valley into a lush green landscape that concealed them completely.
Xunuo then sat down on the spot, revealing two spirit stones in his hands and closing his eyes to meditate and recover his magic power. To Dongfang Yunqing, this method of using spirit stones for recovery seemed like an unforgivable wasteful act. Yet for Xunuo, it was an urgent necessity.
Recently injured in battle against two Black-Clad Youths, Xunuo had sustained fundamental damage and had not fully recovered. His magic power was currently only at eighty percent of its peak capacity. After continuously activating Heavenly Shadow Spike today, his magic reserves were severely depleted. Hiding here did not guarantee that they wouldn’t be discovered or tracked down by their enemies. Maintaining maximum combat readiness was naturally Xunuo's top priority. As for spirit stones, Xunuo considered himself relatively affluent in that regard.
Dongfang Yunqing also sat nearby to rest and recover while watching Xunuo with an unsettled heart.
