Xunuo's face turned crimson. Fortunately, the armor on his face concealed it, so Qi Zilan couldn't see. Gritting his teeth, Xunuo replied, "Yes."
In truth, this was not a lie, but the initial intention was far from benevolent.
The Emaciated Elder noticed Xunuo's silence and snorted coldly at Qi Zilan, saying, "If Miss Qi has doubts about me, she is free to leave. The Crimson Flower Sect does not wish to make things difficult for you."
A flicker of unusual expression crossed Qi Zilan's face. She then sneered, "If I leave now, it would only be a temporary escape. I don't believe the Crimson Flower Sect will let me go easily; it would be better to fight to the death right now."
The Emaciated Elder was taken aback and immediately turned to Xunuo with anger. "You little thief, what tricks have you played? Since you are so eager to die, I shall grant your wish."
With that, he waved his hand, and a brilliant blade of magical energy formed and slashed toward Xunuo. In a hurry, Xunuo pushed the Zhenjiang Seal forward. There was a loud crash as the Zhenjiang Seal was knocked back repeatedly but managed to block the spell just in time.
The Emaciated Elder looked at the Zhenjiang Seal in surprise and murmured, "This item is quite interesting; hand it over to me." With that, he reached out with his hand to grasp the Zhenjiang Seal from afar.
At that moment, Qi Zilan suddenly made her move. Instead of blocking the Emaciated Elder's grasp toward the Zhenjiang Seal, she directly activated the Leaving Water Sword and slashed at him.
The Emaciated Elder did not expect Qi Zilan to take the initiative against him. However, knowing the power of the Leaving Water Sword, he did not dare to underestimate it. He quickly patted his storage bag, and a vibrant green bamboo staff soared into the air. With a snap, it struck the blade of the Leaving Water Sword, causing it to lose its spirit and roll back.
Seeing the two engaged in battle, Xunuo hurriedly reached for his storage bag, and the Six Heavenly Shadow Darts flew out in response. They rapidly surged with dark blue light. To activate the hidden properties of Heavenly Shadow Spike required a significant amount of magical energy. Although it was only a brief process, during the chaotic battle where circumstances changed in an instant, without a guardian present, there was a real risk that he could be killed before he could even activate Heavenly Shadow Spike’s hidden properties—especially against that emaciated Foundation Stage Cultivator. A full-force strike from him was something Xunuo could not withstand.
Upon seeing Xunuo summon the Six Heavenly Shadow Darts, the Emaciated Elder immediately recognized this as a complete set of magical artifacts.
He held a deep-seated fear of the hidden powers of such sets of magical artifacts. Thus, he shouted at the three cultivators behind him, "Quickly go and kill this little thief!"
The three cultivators had long been prepared; they just waited for their elder's command before making their move. Upon hearing his order, three attacking artifacts—a hammer and two swords—suddenly slashed toward Xunuo.
Xunuo focused on activating his formation and was not particularly afraid of these three cultivators' attacks. With a mental push, the Zhenjiang Seal met them head-on. After three crisp sounds echoed out, the three artifacts were deflected away while the Zhenjiang Seal remained unscathed, radiating a soft green light. The Zhenjiang Seal was unique among magical artifacts as it possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Three Reforms struck with such force that it failed to reveal any flaws in the Zhenjiang Seal. They had no better means, so they could only increase their strength, urging their magical artifacts to the limit as they continued to strike at the Zhenjiang Seal. As a result, the Zhenjiang Seal was forced to retreat repeatedly.
However, during this time, Xunuo managed to push the Heavenly Shadow Spike to its utmost limit. With a sigh of relief, Xunuo shouted, "Combine!"
Six purple beams of light, each about ten feet long, instantly merged into one. It transformed into a Purple Light Halberd that exceeded thirty feet in length.
With a cold smile, Xunuo looked up at Qi Zilan's situation and thought to himself: This is bad.
It turned out that Qi Zilan, in order to cast spells for Xunuo and buy time, had been desperately entangled with the Emaciated Elder. This provoked the Emaciated Elder's ferocity, leading him to unleash deadly attacks. The Leaving Water Sword wielded by Qi Zilan, while on par with the Azure Bamboo Staff of the Emaciated Elder, was still a top-tier artifact among low-level magical tools. The difference lay in their respective realms and magical power.
After several exchanges, the Leaving Water Sword lost its sharpness and began to dim. The Azure Bamboo Staff, on the other hand, was able to break through its defenses and directly strike at Qi Zilan.
Although the Purple Cloak worn by Qi Zilan was also a formidable Defensive Artifact, it paled in comparison to the Azure Bamboo Staff. With just one blow, it shattered the cloak. Qi Zilan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his face turning pale and his expression dazed.
Seeing this, the Emaciated Elder felt a surge of joy. He had initially thought that due to Qi Zilan's fierce nature, capturing her alive would be impossible; hence he had offered her a chance to escape. Now, seeing her severely injured, he realized he could easily capture her. With her mind in disarray, she wouldn't even have a chance for self-detonation.
The Emaciated Elder let out a sinister laugh. With his Divine Sense, he locked onto Qi Zilan's Sea of Consciousness . Then, with a swift motion of his hand, he attempted to draw her closer. But at that moment, an overwhelming sense of danger washed over him inexplicably.
Turning his head, he saw a massive purple halberd slicing toward him with a flash of light. A feeling of extreme danger gripped his heart. Without thinking twice, he pointed his Azure Bamboo Staff toward the incoming threat. The verdant staff glowed brilliantly as it met the charge of the Purple Light Halberd.
The Emaciated Elder quickly reached into his storage bag. A Yellow Umbrella flew out and expanded rapidly into a gigantic Yellow Umbrella Canopy. The canopy descended over his head as yellow light flowed down its surface like cascading silk threads, enveloping him completely.
At that moment, a crisp sound echoed as the green staff collided with the Purple Light Halberd, sending it flying back. The surface of the bamboo staff was covered in fine cracks; it had nearly been destroyed by that single strike.
The color suddenly drained from the Emaciated Elder's face as it flushed red; blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, this artifact had been enhanced through a Blood Sacrifice. As his artifact suffered damage, he too experienced backlash.
The strike from the Purple Light Halberd shattered the Azure Bamboo Staff. Its momentum did not wane as it struck down upon the Yellow Umbrella Canopy. With a muffled thud, the canopy's light dimmed significantly. The yellow glow dissipated like mist in an instant. The once-mighty halberd also rolled over and became dull and lifeless.
After unleashing that earth-shattering strike, Xunuo's face turned pale, losing all color. Even the Zhenjiang Seal in front of him had lost its luster, its power depleted.
The Emaciated Elder knew that a Foundation Stage Practitioner could not possibly activate a Set of Magical Artifacts to deliver a second devastating blow. However, this strike had brought the Emaciated Elder perilously close to death.
The Emaciated Elder grabbed the Azure Bamboo Staff back, glancing at it and feeling his heart bleed. This artifact was on the verge of collapse and needed to be reforged to restore its power. The Blood Sacrifice Mark within it had been damaged significantly. Even if reforged, whether it could regain its original might was uncertain.
He withdrew the Azure Bamboo Staff and reached for a spear-like artifact. Pointing at Xunuo, he shouted angrily, "You have destroyed my artifact today; I will ensure you suffer for it."
Xunuo, however, expressionless, held a jade vial. With a slight tremor of his hand, a drop of pale blue liquid flew into his mouth.
Instantly, Xunuo's face flushed red. Fortunately, the armor covering him concealed it from Qi Zilan's view. He forced himself to respond, "Yes."
In truth, this was not a lie; however, his initial intent was far from benevolent.
Seeing that Xunuo had fallen silent, the Emaciated Elder snorted coldly and said to Qi Zilan, "If you have doubts about me, Miss Qi, you are free to leave. My Crimson Flower Sect does not wish to make things difficult for you."
A flicker of unusual expression crossed Qi Zilan's face before she sneered, "If I leave now, it would only be a temporary escape. I do not believe the Crimson Flower Sect would let me go easily; I might as well fight to the death now."
The Emaciated Elder was taken aback for a moment before turning his gaze back to Xunuo. Angrily he said, "You little thief! What tricks have you played? Since you seek death so eagerly, I shall grant your wish."
With that, he waved his hand, and a brilliant blade of condensed magical energy slashed toward Xunuo. In haste, Xunuo pushed the Zhenjiang Seal forward. A loud crash echoed as the Zhenjiang Seal was forced back repeatedly but managed to block the Spell just in time.
The Emaciated Elder looked at the Zhenjiang Seal in surprise and murmured, "This item has some merit; bring it to me." With that, he stretched out his hand and reached for the Zhenjiang Seal from afar.
At that moment, Qi Zilan suddenly made her move. She did not attempt to stop the Emaciated Elder's hand reaching for the Zhenjiang Seal but instead activated the Leaving Water Sword and slashed at him.
The Emaciated Elder did not expect Qi Zilan to take such initiative against him. However, knowing the power of the Leaving Water Sword, he did not dare underestimate it. He quickly patted his storage bag, and a vibrant green bamboo staff soared into the air. It struck the Leaving Water Sword with a loud crack, causing it to lose its spirit and tumble back immediately.
Seeing the two engaged in battle, Xunuo quickly reached for his storage bag, and the Six Heavenly Shadow Darts flew out in response. The dark blue light surged rapidly, activating the hidden properties of the Heavenly Shadow Spike, which required a significant amount of mana to unleash. Although it was just a brief process, in the midst of the chaotic battle, without a Guardian present, there was a real danger that he would be killed by his opponent before he could fully activate the hidden properties of the Heavenly Shadow Spike. Especially considering the emaciated Foundation Stage Cultivator; even a full-force strike from him was something Xunuo could not withstand.
The Emaciated Elder noticed Xunuo summoning the Six Heavenly Shadow Darts and immediately recognized it as a complete set of magical artifacts. He harbored a deep-seated fear of the hidden power within this Set of Magical Artifacts. Thus, he shouted to the Three Cultivators behind him, "Quickly go and kill this little thief!"
The Three Cultivators had long been prepared; they were just waiting for their elder's command to act. Upon hearing his words, three attacking artifacts—a hammer and two swords—swiftly struck towards Xunuo.
Xunuo focused on activating the formation and was not overly concerned about the attacks from the Three Cultivators. With a mental push, the Zhenjiang Seal met them head-on. After three crisp sounds, the three artifacts were deflected away, while the Zhenjiang Seal shone with a greenish light, completely unharmed. The Zhenjiang Seal was unique among magical artifacts, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Seeing that their first strike had failed to leave any mark on the Zhenjiang Seal, the Three Cultivators had no better options. They could only increase their efforts, pushing their artifacts to their limits as they continued to strike at the Zhenjiang Seal. As a result, the Zhenjiang Seal was forced to retreat repeatedly.
However, during this time, Xunuo managed to channel all his energy into the Heavenly Shadow Spike. With a sigh of relief, he shouted, "Combine!"
The six purple beams of light that were about a yard long merged into one instantaneously, transforming into a Purple Light Halberd over ten yards long.
Xunuo sneered and looked up at Qi Zilan's situation, realizing with alarm that things were not good.
It turned out that Qi Zilan had been desperately entangling with the Emaciated Elder to buy time for Xunuo to cast his spells. This provoked the Emaciated Elder's ferocity as he unleashed lethal attacks. The Leaving Water Sword wielded by Qi Zilan was on par with the Emaciated Elder's Azure Bamboo Staff in terms of grade; both were top-tier artifacts among low-level magical items. The difference lay in their realms and mana levels.
After several exchanges, the Leaving Water Sword lost its sharpness and began to dim. The Emaciated Elder's Azure Bamboo Staff then broke through its defenses and struck directly at Qi Zilan.
Although Qi Zilan's Purple Cloak was also an impressive Defensive Artifact, it paled in comparison to the Azure Bamboo Staff. With just one blow, it shattered her cloak. Qi Zilan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, her face pale and her expression dazed.
Seeing this, the Emaciated Elder felt a surge of delight. He had initially thought Qi Zilan was too fierce to capture alive and had suggested she flee instead. Now that she was gravely injured, capturing her would be easy; her mind was clouded, leaving her no chance for self-detonation.
With a sinister grin, the Emaciated Elder unleashed his Divine Sense to immobilize Qi Zilan's Sea of Consciousness. Then he extended his hand to pull her closer. However, at that moment, an overwhelming sense of danger washed over him inexplicably, causing his heart to race with unease.
The Emaciated Elder turned his head and saw a massive purple halberd slicing toward him with a flash of light. A sense of extreme danger gripped his heart, and without a moment's hesitation, he pointed the Azure Bamboo Staff. The vibrant green staff emitted a dazzling emerald glow as it met the Purple Light Halberd head-on.
The Emaciated Elder then patted his storage bag, and a Yellow Umbrella flew out, expanding rapidly into a gigantic Yellow Umbrella Canopy. The canopy enveloped the Emaciated Elder, and yellow light flowed down its surface like cascading ribbons, quickly forming a protective barrier around him.
At that moment, a crisp sound echoed as the Azure Bamboo Staff collided with the Purple Light Halberd, sending it flying back. The surface of the staff was covered in fine cracks, nearly damaged beyond repair from just one strike.
The Emaciated Elder's face suddenly flushed red, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the Azure Bamboo Staff had been subjected to Blood Sacrifice. As the artifact was damaged, he suffered backlash as well.
With one strike, the Purple Light Halberd shattered the Azure Bamboo Staff. Its momentum carried it forward, striking the Yellow Umbrella Canopy. With a dull thud, the canopy's brilliance dimmed instantly. The yellow light dissipated like mist. The Purple Light Halberd also rolled over, losing its luster.
Xunuo's face turned pale after delivering such a devastating blow. Even the Zhenjiang Seal before him lost its glow due to his depleted energy.
The Emaciated Elder understood that a Foundation Stage Practitioner could not possibly wield a Set of Magical Artifacts to unleash such an earth-shattering second strike. However, this blow had brought him perilously close to death.
He grasped the Azure Bamboo Staff again and glanced at it, feeling as if his heart were bleeding. The artifact was on the brink of collapse and required reforging to restore it. The Blood Sacrifice Mark within had been severely damaged; even if reforged, whether it could regain its original power remained uncertain.
The Emaciated Elder put away the Azure Bamboo Staff and reached for a spear-shaped artifact instead. Pointing at Xunuo, he declared angrily, "You will pay dearly for destroying my artifact today."
Xunuo remained expressionless as he held a jade vial. With a slight shake of his hand, he let a drop of pale blue liquid fly into his mouth.
