However, Xunuo did not expect that he would suddenly attract two pursuers. This turned his feigned escape into a real flight for his life. Fortunately, Xunuo was quick to react and swiftly moved out of the range of the magical artifacts. Thus, before the opponents could close in, they had no other options. But both sides knew he couldn't run too far. This small area lacked Crimson Fire Ants, but they were everywhere outside. Charging into the Crimson Fire Ant Swarm would be more fatal than fighting to the death.
Qi Guoren and Black Wind Old Monster saw that the Armored Monster had drawn away two opponents. This gave them a chance to fight against the remaining three. Although they were still at a disadvantage, at least it was not a guaranteed death situation.
One of the Eleven Layers Bald Cultivators, clearly the leader, noticed Qi Guoren and Black Wind Old Monster looking eager to engage. He believed his side was well-equipped. Although the Black-Faced Cultivator on the opposing side had strong magical fluctuations, the artifact he summoned was merely a fragment. It would be difficult for it to unleash even half its power. Therefore, he was full of confidence about this battle.
The Bald Cultivator sneered and said to the Tenth Layer Cultivator, "I'll handle these two with Cui Dao You; you take care of the rest."
The Tenth Layer Cultivator nodded and was about to respond when suddenly a voice emerged from the crowd: "I am but a lowly cultivator and did not wish to embarrass myself. However, you have bullied us too much, so I have no choice but to step forward."
As soon as the words fell, a nearly transparent Flying Sword flew out from the crowd like rippling water. Then Dongfang Yunqing slowly walked out from among them.
Xunuo had previously erased the Divine Consciousness Mark from this Flying Sword before giving it to Dongfang Yunqing, allowing him to quickly refine it successfully.
The moment Dongfang Yunqing appeared with the Flying Sword Artifact, it completely changed the balance of power between both sides.
Although Dongfang Yunqing was the weakest in terms of magical power among them, his Water Spirit Root magic combined with this Water Attribute artifact did not fall far behind that of a Tenth Layer Cultivator. The key point was that while Black Wind Old Monster would struggle against two opponents, in a one-on-one duel with an opponent, even with his damaged artifact, he could still hold his ground with confidence.
Seeing that things had taken an unexpected turn, the three opponents began to feel hesitant. These Evil Cultivators who ambushed and robbed others had not encountered such a formidable team in a long time. They wanted to avoid any situation that could potentially cost them their lives.
However, Black Wind Old Monster saw an opportunity and was unwilling to leave any future troubles after feeling so frustrated earlier. With a fierce roar, he unleashed his Golden Remnant Blade, slicing through the air with a sharp whistle aimed at what seemed to be the leader among their foes. Seeing Black Wind Old Monster take action, Qi Guoren and Dongfang Yunqing also urged their magical powers and charged toward their respective opponents to engage in battle.
The Bald Cultivator felt a surge of dread upon seeing the Black Wind Old Monster and the Golden Blade charging fiercely. The ability to unleash such power from a fragment of a magical artifact suggested it was nearly as potent as the complete version. It required an immense amount of magical energy, something none of them could achieve.
Quickly, the Bald Cultivator summoned his full power. He thrust the Golden Giant Sword forward to intercept the incoming Golden Blade. The two artifacts collided violently in mid-air, resulting in a tremendous explosion of golden light that blinded the onlookers in the distance, leaving them momentarily unable to see anything.
In the next instant, both golden artifacts were sent flying back. The Bald Cultivator staggered, his face pale as if he had sustained injuries. The Black Wind Old Monster let out a sinister laugh and suddenly spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Golden Remnant Blade held by in front of. Instantly, the Golden Remnant Blade radiated dazzling golden light, transforming into a magnificent and imposing Golden Giant Blade that measured about two yards long.
Clearly, the Black Wind Old Monster aimed for a quick resolution. Although he currently held the advantage, he was aware that if the other two Cultivators returned suddenly, the situation could turn against him. He recognized that the Armored Monster who had drawn away his two opponents was Xunuo and did not believe Xunuo could hold them off for long.
The Bald Cultivator observed how the Black Wind Old Monster was willing to expend his essence to escalate the battle into a life-or-death struggle. While he felt alarmed, he also admired the Black Wind Old Monster's determination.
However, the Bald Cultivator did not show any signs of retreat. He too drew forth Essence Blood and unleashed it upon his Golden Giant Sword, causing it to swell instantly. Yet compared to the Black Wind Old Monster's Golden Giant Blade, it was clearly at a disadvantage—only about one and a half yards long and appearing quite unstable.
Then, with a flash, the Black Wind Old Monster swung his Golden Giant Blade toward his opponent. The Bald Cultivator let out a shriek and brought forth his Golden Giant Sword to counterattack. But this time, their clash did not produce the same dazzling light as before; instead, it quickly determined a victor.
The Bald Cultivator's Golden Giant Sword was struck down in an instant, losing all its brilliance and tumbling back until it shrank to just one foot in size. The Bald Cultivator coughed up blood onto the ground and staggered back several steps before regaining his footing. The Black Wind Old Monster merely swayed slightly; his Golden Giant Blade had only shrunk half a yard before it spun around and struck again.
The Bald Cultivator clearly found himself unable to sustain his artifact any longer; he lacked the strength to wield it against his foe. Desperately, he reached for a Talisman, intending to use its power for defense. However, before he could activate it, the massive blade was already upon him. In an instant, the Bald Cultivator's body was severed in two.
Without hesitation, the Black Wind Old Monster seized the Bald Cultivator's artifact and several storage bags he carried.
The other two combatants were taken aback by how swiftly death had been decided here. For a moment, they stood stunned. However, the two Evil Cultivators did not flee; instead, they fixated on the storage bags in the Black Wind Old Monster's hands with complex expressions.
Qi Guoren and Dongfang Yunqing were emboldened by this turn of events and pushed their magical energy to its limits, launching relentless attacks against their remaining opponents. The other two cultivators seemed equally unwilling to retreat and fought back fiercely.
The Black Wind Old Monster showed no signs of stopping either. With another spin of his Golden Giant Blade, he aimed it at Dongfang Yunqing's opponent—a Tenth Layer Cultivator who was locked in a desperate struggle with Dongfang Yunqing. Despite knowing that the giant blade was coming for him, he lacked the strength to defend himself. With a horrific scream, this Tenth Layer Cultivator was cleaved in half from behind by the Golden Giant Blade.
However, the Golden Giant Blade did not stop there. Instead, it continued to slash toward Dongfang Yunqing in a relentless manner. Dongfang Yunqing and his companions had been on high alert against the Black Wind Old Monster throughout their journey. It was no exaggeration to say they slept with one eye open.
Thus, the series of lethal strikes from the Black Wind Old Monster did not escape Dongfang Yunqing's notice. He met the incoming Golden Giant Blade with his flowing Flying Sword, successfully blocking it. The Black Wind Old Monster had exhausted his magical energy with those consecutive attacks, and as Dongfang Yunqing intercepted him, the remaining blade fragments flew back toward him.
Dongfang Yunqing then unceremoniously collected the Flying Sword from the ground along with a storage bag.
The Black Wind Old Monster had just focused all his energy on his relentless assault and failed to seize these two items. He had not anticipated that Dongfang Yunqing would be so vigilant. Realizing he had missed his opportunity, he could only sigh in regret. He grasped a spirit stone in each hand and sat down to recover his magical energy.
After all, the Black Wind Old Monster had a reason for attacking Dongfang Yunqing with his remaining power after defeating an opponent. However, having missed his target, he had no choice but to abandon that thought.
Seeing the Black Wind Old Monster put away his magical weapon, Dongfang Yunqing finally felt relieved and joined Qi Guoren's battle group. With Dongfang Yunqing's addition, Qi Guoren quickly dispatched his opponent, who was already evenly matched.
Qi Guoren was deep in thought and had been observing every move of the Black Wind Old Monster without revealing any emotion. Once the battle concluded, he also grasped a spirit stone in each hand and began to recover his magical energy.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Yunqing was still worried about Xunuo's safety. Anxious and restless, he had no mind to meditate and recover his energy. Although if Xunuo were to fall, the Water Attribute Flying Sword would undoubtedly belong to Dongfang Yunqing, he valued Xunuo, his Alchemist friend, far more than any magical artifact. Therefore, he was eager to rush to Xunuo's rescue.
However, with the Black Wind Old Monster and in front of around, Dongfang Yunqing had to be extremely cautious and could not ask for their help in rescuing Xunuo. Thus, he sent a message to Qi Guoren, requesting assistance in going to save Xunuo.
