Unexpectedly, this was the outcome. To simultaneously activate several magical artifacts and control them with precision was an incredible feat for him. Moreover, Xunuo's Flame Fork gave him an intense sense of danger.
Xunuo manipulating multiple magical artifacts and casting several spells to instantly slay the Slim Cultivator was a significant drain on his mana. The upcoming confrontation with the Black Fat Cultivator would not be an easy task either. The Flame Fork, Flying Sword, and Bronze Cymbal were lined up in front of Xunuo. He coldly gazed at the Black Fat Cultivator, holding a spirit stone in each hand to replenish his mana while his Divine Sense stirred. Suddenly, Six Heavenly Shadow Darts appeared before him, forming a line and spinning rapidly toward the Black Fat Cultivator.
Xunuo was not overly confident about breaking through the Black Fat Cultivator's Blue Flame Shield. Although he could trigger the hidden properties of Heavenly Shadow Spike without fear of breaking through defenses, he was reluctant to exhaust all his mana in such a perilous environment. Thus, launching a series of Heavenly Shadow Spike attacks against the Blue Flame Shield became Xunuo's preferred strategy for breaching its defenses.
As soon as the Six Heavenly Shadow Darts were unleashed, the Black Fat Cultivator turned pale. It was clear that he recognized this set of magical artifacts and understood their power. Seeing Xunuo holding spirit stones to replenish his mana, he naturally assumed that an overwhelming strike was imminent. Without hesitation, the Black Fat Cultivator activated a Flying Talisman, stowed away his Crimson Fire Whip, and relied solely on his Blue Flame Shield for defense before making a swift escape.
While Xunuo was still channeling Heavenly Shadow Spike, he watched as the Black Fat Cultivator fled effortlessly. Xunuo had hoped to eliminate this troublesome foe completely here, but with the Black Fat Cultivator's departure, he found himself powerless.
If it had been Mei Sanli or someone like Thunderstorm, they could have activated their artifacts to pursue and eliminate him. But Xunuo could only watch helplessly as the Black Fat Cultivator vanished from his mana attack range. With a sigh of resignation, he retracted his artifacts and Formation Flag into his storage bag, preparing to leave.
Just as the Black Fat Cultivator was about to escape Xunuo's Divine Sense range, three beams of light from magical artifacts suddenly shot up from the ground, striking him as he focused solely on defense. He tumbled backward and fell flat on the ground. Lying there, the Blue Flame Shield lay lifeless beside him while several gruesome wounds marred his body—each one fatal. One artifact had even pierced through his Mud Pill Palace, evidently shattering his soul completely.
Three cultivators stood around the corpse of the Black Fat Cultivator but showed no signs of joy on their faces.
"Why does this guy look so familiar?"
"It's Black Skin."
"Are you sure?"
"We're in big trouble."
"Let's run before the mad dog gets wind of this."
"Can we escape? Still, we should run. The mad dog will definitely launch a massacre against any cultivators who enter this place. If we run fast enough, we might find a way out."
"Impossible. The connection between these two brothers is strong; once Black Skin is dead, the mad dog will seal off the valley entrance. If we recklessly charge in, we'll end up as nothing but scraps."
"What should we do? We can't just wait here to die."
"Let's take a gamble. Staying here means certain death. If we break out, there might be a chance to survive."
"The Black Skin's spirit has fled, and the mad dog won't know who killed his brother. We can frame someone else."
"Frame who? Where can we find such a fool?"
"Right in front of us."
"Yeah, that outsider Cultivator. If we kill him, we can take credit with the mad dog."
"Take credit with the mad dog? Have you lost your mind?"
"Of course, we can't go to him for credit; we need to stay far away. I have a plan, just don't say anything."
Moments later, three Eleventh Layer Great Cultivators rushed towards Xunuo. Just now, Xunuo had seen the Black Fat Cultivator get knocked down and couldn't help but sweat. He was secretly relieved he hadn't come from that direction; otherwise, he might have been the one caught in it. Before Xunuo could leave, the three Great Cultivators charged towards him. Xunuo's expression darkened as he watched the three rushing over.
With a loud crash, the corpse of the Black Fat Cultivator landed before Xunuo, along with a shield artifact about a foot wide that emitted a blue glow.
The three Middle-aged Cultivators stood opposite Xunuo. "This Evil Cultivator specializes in robbing wandering Loose Cultivators and is truly wicked. We happened to pass by here and naturally couldn't allow him to continue his misdeeds. Bringing this Rogue to justice is our duty as Cultivators; we just didn't mean to startle you, friend."
Xunuo felt dazed for a moment, but the three Cultivators clasped their hands in salute and floated away.
Even though Xunuo was clever, seeing the righteous demeanor of these three and noticing they hadn't taken the Black Fat Cultivator's shield artifact made him unaware of the hidden truth. He thought he had encountered three noble individuals and felt a sense of admiration in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, the three Cultivators vanished without a trace. Xunuo grabbed the storage bag and shield artifact from the ground, casting a fire spell that turned the Black Fat Cultivator's corpse into ashes in an instant. As Xunuo hurried deeper into Mountain Valley, he examined his newly acquired two storage bags.
After looking for a while, Xunuo sighed inwardly, feeling an impulse to change his profession and become an Evil Cultivator himself.
Xunuo's storage bags were nothing more than the most common type found in the cultivation world, with a capacity ranging from one to five cabinets. Currently, Xunuo had two of these bags hanging at his waist, and they were relatively large, filled to the brim with items.
The two newly acquired storage bags, especially the one belonging to Black Fatty, were practically warehouses. It was more than ten times larger than Xunuo's own bag, containing over a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, talismans, and materials haphazardly piled together, along with seven or eight scattered magical artifacts.
After a moment of reflection, Xunuo first pulled out the Crimson Fire Whip and began to refine it along with the Blue Flame Shield. As Xunuo's Divine Sense probed into these two artifacts, he felt a surge of joy. These two artifacts were actually made from a complete Fire Python beast. The python's tendons and claws were used to create the Crimson Fire Whip, while its bones formed the framework and its scales covered the Blue Flame Shield.
Fire Pythons were among the most ferocious and rare fire attribute beasts, said to possess the ability of Southern Ming Leaving Fire, capable of easily killing Human Clan Cultivators across levels. Since the owner of these artifacts had perished, it took only a moment for Xunuo to successfully refine them. He had already witnessed the power of the Crimson Fire Whip and was eager to see what kind of might it could unleash in his hands.
With a surge of mana, the four-foot-long Crimson Fire Whip instantly transformed into a massive crimson fire python, swirling around Xunuo in the air. Sensing its presence, Xunuo commanded, "Go." Immediately, the fire python straightened out and surged forward like a wall of flames, crushing everything in its path—ditches and mounds were flattened in an instant. Satisfied with this display, Xunuo flipped his hand, causing the fire dragon to soar into the sky and connect its head and tail to form a gigantic fire net. This net spread across the air, covering nearly an acre of land. The temperature beneath it soared as rocks on the ground cracked under the heat; in some places, flames shot up unexpectedly.
After observing for a moment, Xunuo suddenly conjured a Thunder Ball surrounded by Azure Light in his left hand and hurled it toward the fire net. Upon contact with the net, it exploded with a crackling sound, instantly enveloping it in azure arcs of electricity that seemed to contain earth-shattering power. Even Xunuo felt a chill run down his spine at this display. Suddenly pointing at a distant hilltop, the crimson electric net swiftly covered it. The surface of the rocks shattered under its influence as fist-sized fragments flew everywhere. With a single hand gesture from Xunuo, the fire electric net rapidly constricted around the entire hilltop. The power of Thunderfire was unleashed at that moment. A thunderous roar echoed as the entire hill crumbled away. However, amidst this chaos, not a single fragment escaped from the fire net. The net trembled three times before reducing the debris to powder; under intense heat, it transformed into molten iron water. This process occurred in an instant; all that could be seen was the crimson electric net enveloping the hilltop until it turned into liquid metal.
The molten iron water wrapped in this electric net flew back toward Xunuo. Even within his Thunderproof Armored Shell, he nearly felt overwhelmed by the wave of heat emanating from it. Despite numerous large holes in the electric net, not a single drop of molten iron could escape; it merely rolled within. At that moment, Xunuo felt truly satisfied, realizing that this artifact had even greater potential in his hands. With a flick of his wrist, he sent this molten iron away before turning his gaze toward the Blue Flame Shield.
This shield had a simple yet exaggerated design with an ancient flair. It was supported by nine bones from Fire Pythons that formed its entire structure. The red python bones seemed infused with some unknown material that made them appear translucent and beautiful—far from resembling an ordinary Bone Shield's ugliness; instead, it resembled a piece of exquisite craftsmanship. The shield's surface was covered with layers upon layers of dark blue scales that protruded outward into razor-sharp edges.
Xunuo found himself puzzled by this Blue Flame Shield because it contained more innate powers from Fire Pythons—specifically Southern Ming Leaving Fire. This ability was primarily offensive; using it defensively seemed somewhat counterproductive. After some contemplation, he believed this artifact must also possess offensive capabilities—meaning it was likely both an offensive and defensive tool, perhaps even more powerful when attacking.
Raising his hand to summon this artifact, he channeled his mana into it; with a flash of Azure Radiance, the Blue Flame Shield transformed into a gyroscope-like structure. The gyroscope remained covered in scales; however, at this moment they expanded to palm-sized pieces as they spun rapidly around it. The blue flames shone brilliantly as an unmatched force radiated from them.
