Chapter 153: Sword Flowers Fall Like Rain
The 'Frostbite Sword' appeared in the palm of his right hand.
He holds the sword in his right hand.
He held the beautiful woman in his left arm.
Yang Jiuli closed his eyes slightly, his mind and spirit were in harmony with heaven and earth, a whistling wind was around him, and a force was drawn in.
A chill permeated the air, and snowflakes fell from the sky.
In a hazy sense, a force of heaven and earth descended upon him.
This is the profound secret of swordsmanship of a grandmaster.
"This is..." Zhang Xuanli's eyes flickered, and he looked at Yang Jiuli with a face full of surprise.
At this moment, his three tornadoes had already missed their mark.
It appeared in the air below and behind Yang Jiuli.
Both Master Ma and Huang Teng felt a chill run down their spines.
They felt as if the air around them had solidified, and an inexplicable aura enveloped the area within a radius of several hundred meters.
A terrifying, oppressive force made them tremble with fear.
The feeling was like facing a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster.
"Snowflake Sword Technique...Seventh Form: Sword Flowers Fall Like Rain!" At this moment, Yang Jiuli opened his tightly closed eyes.
With a flick of his icy sword, a chilling aura surged forth, transforming into countless icy sword flowers that swirled around him. Then, with another flick of his sword, the sword flowers moved with the sword's intent, whistling down in all directions.
Swish, swish!
Sword blossoms fell like a meteor shower.
The attack not only targeted Zhang Xuanli in front of him, but also Ma Sanye and Huang Teng behind him.
Whoosh!
Sword energy whistled and flowed down with the sword blossoms, transforming into winding rivers of sword energy, within which a powerful, chilling aura surged forth.
Wherever the malevolent energy passed, ice crystals appeared in the air, the temperature plummeted, and snowflakes followed, falling to the ground.
Both Master Ma and Huang Teng felt the cold air invading their pores. The murderous aura was like a blade, cutting their meridians painfully after entering their bodies.
"What terrifying malevolent energy! Could this guy be a Foundation Establishment cultivator?" Master Ma's pupils shrank, and he retreated rapidly. At the same time, he pulled his hands together, and golden light shone from his hands, sending out a first-grade top-quality 'Golden Light Shield' talisman.
The talisman shone brightly, transforming into a massive golden light shield nine feet in front of it, blocking the incoming river of swords.
Clang!
In the blink of an eye, his golden light shield was shattered by the sword flowers.
A chilling sword aura swept over, the gale brushing against his face, causing Master Ma to feel a sharp pain.
He was horrified and immediately retreated.
Beside him, Huang Teng stood solemnly, his hand gestures immediately drawing upon the 'Azure Flame Wolf Smoke Bell' in front of him, causing its light patterns to bloom and evolve into a giant skull. It opened its mouth and spewed out a blazing flame, heading straight for the sword river attacking from the sky.
The raging flames and the icy sword flowers that formed the sword river collided together, temporarily resisting the sword river's attack.
On the Sword River, a chilling aura howled, gradually extinguishing the azure flames and threatening to crush them.
"How is that possible!" Huang Teng thought with a chill.
"My 'Azure Flame Wolf Smoke Bell' is a genuine second-tier spiritual weapon. Its power in a single strike is comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet it has fallen into a disadvantageous position? Could he... be a Foundation Establishment cultivator?!" Huang Teng stared in disbelief at the extinguished azure flame in front of him.
Little did he know that Yang Jiuli, with the aid of the Three Lives Stone, possessed incredibly pure magical power.
Although the "Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Technique" has not yet reached the second level, opening the Qi Palace.
However, the purity of his magical power far surpasses that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In addition, Yang Jiuli possessed extremely strong spiritual sense, and his understanding of swordsmanship had long since reached the level of oneness with heaven and man, making him a grandmaster.
This attack was no less powerful than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
However, Huang Teng was only a Qi Refining cultivator. Although he could unleash power far exceeding that of a Qi Refining cultivator when activating a second-tier spiritual weapon.
But in the end, he was not a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Naturally, he cannot be compared to Yang Jiuli.
On the other side, Zhang Xuanli retreated rapidly, but as the sword flowers fell from the sky, he had only retreated ten meters when sword flowers began to fall behind him. In his haste, Zhang Xuanli made a hand gesture, and a second-tier talisman called "Mystic Light Shield" flew out from his palm, transforming into a light shield to protect himself.
Bang, bang!
Sword blossoms flowed like a river, continuously impacting his "Mystic Light Shield," causing cracks to appear in the shield.
The impact caused Zhang Xuanli, who was behind the light shield, to feel immense pressure, and his body was constantly retreating.
"Such powerful sword aura... Is he a sword immortal?" Zhang Xuanli looked up at Yang Jiuli, his face full of horror as he murmured to himself.
As he whispered, the sword flowers continued to strike downwards, and the light shield in front of him cracked more and more.
"How is that possible! According to the intelligence, he is just an alchemist who is not good at fighting, and he didn't even dare to look for the Foundation Establishment spiritual item last time!" Zhang Xuanli was bitter. He was just a Qi Refining cultivator and didn't have many second-tier talismans at his disposal.
If this continues, I fear I may lose my life.
Just as Zhang Xuanli was feeling distressed, Yang Jiuli's eyes flashed in the sky, locking onto the defeated Master Ma.
Just now, Master Ma used a first-grade top-quality 'Golden Light Talisman' to protect himself, which clearly means he no longer has any second-grade talismans available.
"Eighth Form: Sword Qi Spanning Thirty Thousand Miles!" Yang Jiuli's gaze sharpened, and his entire being seemed to merge with the 'Frosty Fiend Sword' in his hand. His mind and spirit seemed to merge with heaven and earth, and a wind howled around him, gathering around him, with a chilling wind howling.
Like the whistling of sword energy.
Immediately, Yang Jiuli grabbed Li Yourong with his left arm, and with a swift movement, he actually drew his sword and swooped down.
That sword was aimed at Master Ma, who had not yet regained his footing.
call!
The sword thrust down with incredible speed.
It was as fast as a shooting star streaking across the sky, so fast that Master Ma's pupils contracted.
"So fast..." Master Ma looked at Yang Jiuli with a face full of horror.
"Those are second-tier spirit boots!" Huang Teng's eyes flashed as he looked at Yang Jiuli's feet.
Between his feet, a burst of magical light emanated, whipping up a gust of wind that propelled him to extreme speed.
These were none other than the second-tier mid-grade spirit boots, the "Wind Chaser Boots," which Yang Jiuli had obtained from Kuang Liming's storage bag.
The combination of a second-tier spiritual weapon and a grandmaster's mastery of the profound mysteries of swordsmanship, allowing him to unleash the "Sword Qi Spanning Thirty Thousand Miles" technique, has reached perfection.
brush!
With this sword strike, sword energy burst forth, like a rainbow, piercing through the void and instantly appearing in front of Master Ma.
Master Ma was terrified and quickly summoned a bronze shield to block the attack, along with several talismans.
Flame Talismans, Flame Beads, and Wind Blade Talismans rained down on Yang Jiuli in front of him.
At the same time, Master Ma retreated rapidly to avoid this stunning attack.
"You brat, how dare you!" Huang Teng, standing nearby, immediately roared and flew over to help.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli's previous move, "Sword Flowers Fall Like Rain," had dissipated.
Huang Teng also had an opportunity to make a move.
However, Yang Jiuli's sword strike came with the force of a meteor and the power of thunder, and was unstoppable, shattering the first-tier shield.
The chill swept past, and the surrounding air frosted over. The talisman that Master Ma had thrown out had not yet been fully activated.
Ice crystals condensed and magical power solidified, just as the magical power within a cultivator's meridians was frozen, causing it to cease functioning.
Then, the sword energy surged forth, piercing through all the talismans and turning them into dust.
brush!
Under Master Ma's terrified gaze, the sword energy surged like a long river, engulfing him.
He felt as if his body was being pierced by thousands of sharp swords, and his bones were being disintegrated.
Then I felt my soul being swallowed by the glacier, and I gradually lost consciousness.
Instinctively, the sword energy passed through.
Master Ma's body was directly annihilated by the chilling sword energy, completely destroying both his form and spirit.
In the air, a flash of sword light appeared, and ten meters away, a young man stood proudly in the air. His clothes fluttered, and sword energy whistled around him. He had Li Yourong in his left arm, his eyes were as cold as frost, and he looked down. His long hair moved without wind, and he was truly like a sword immortal descending to earth.
Transcendent and peerless.
In a blur, a storage bag flashed and disappeared into the young man's waist.
"Old Ma!" Huang Teng cried out in anguish from the side.
He pulled with both hands, and the 'Azure Flame Wolf Smoke Bell' in front of him unleashed a streak of azure flames that attacked.
However, Yang Jiuli moved his hand, and three first-grade top-quality "Poisonous Miasma Talismans" flew out from his palm.
A talisman was sent directly to meet the emerald flames and smoke.
When the two collided, a burst of billowing emerald flames and poisonous miasma immediately erupted and swept outwards.
In addition, two more talismans were thrown at Huang Teng.
"Poisonous!" Huang Teng saw a talisman flying towards him, and he dodged it immediately, creating a light shield to protect himself. When he steadied himself and looked closely, Yang Jiuli had already retreated another hundred feet with Li Yourong in his arms.
He was just a low-level alchemist at the eighth level of Qi Refining, yet he managed to kill Master Ma, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, with a single blow right in front of him.
They were almost powerless to resist.
This horrified Huang Teng.
"This kid is hiding his true abilities very well!" On the other side, Zhang Xuanli felt a chill in his heart.
He looked at Yang Jiuli with a face full of apprehension.
Only then did he understand why this alchemist, who rarely left the city, dared to venture into the Black Wind Mountains.
Because he had something to rely on.
Just then, Yang Jiuli's eyes flickered as he glanced at Zhang Xuanli and Huang Teng, clearly looking for his next target.
This made Zhang Xuanli and Huang Teng's hearts skip a beat.
The few "poisonous miasma talismans" they had just used made the two of them slightly wary.
"Both of these two possess second-tier talismans, so they must have Foundation Establishment cultivators supporting them," Yang Jiuli thought to himself.
"If we fail to kill them in one fell swoop and attract Foundation Establishment cultivators, it will be extremely troublesome!"
At this moment, he could still claim that he was a martial arts master when he killed his enemies with his swordsmanship.
Revealing this trump card will not cause a major uproar.
If he attracts a Foundation Establishment cultivator, given his current strength, he will definitely have difficulty escaping without activating the 'Past Life Talisman'.
The "Past Life Talisman" is too shocking to be revealed unless absolutely necessary.
"Don't linger in battle!" Yang Jiuli didn't hesitate for a moment, and cold energy immediately emanated from the 'Frostbite Sword' in his hand.
"Retreat!" Zhang Xuanli and Huang Teng retreated rapidly almost simultaneously.
Given the unclear strength of the enemy, it was clear that they did not intend to continue fighting Yang Jiuli, fearing an unexpected defeat.
The two of them moved with incredible speed, instantly disappearing more than ten meters away.
Just as the two escaped, Yang Jiuli did not pursue them. Instead, he took Li Yourong and flew rapidly towards the mountains below, leaving Zhang Xuanli and Huang Teng, who had flown a hundred meters away, completely astonished.
"The battle just now will definitely attract the attention of the enemy's Foundation Establishment cultivators. Let's get our hands on the 'Yin Sha Xuan Ling Fruit' first." Yang Jiuli whispered, his body already appearing in the mountain stream. With a flick of his hand, a 'Cloud and Smoke Concealing Talisman' appeared in his palm.
And stimulate it.
Instantly, clouds and mist filled the talisman, transforming it into a three-foot-sized cloud that could also block people's divine sense from detecting it.
Immediately, Little Ice appeared, and the talisman was affixed to its body.
Its body was hidden beneath the "Cloud and Smoke Concealing Talisman," making it completely invisible to outsiders.
In addition, Yang Jiuli flipped his hand, and a set of array flags flew out of his storage bag.
The battle flags were enveloped in a frost-like aura and landed on Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing had a chilling aura about her, which bound her and carried her on my back.
"Go!" Yang Jiuli said.
The little ice, hidden in the clouds, nodded, then transformed into a wisp of cloud and slowly flew into the clouds among the mountains ahead.
A moment later, it used its escape technique and disappeared underground.
Although Yang Jiuli knew the location of the 'Yin Sha Xuan Ling Fruit'.
However, it is still quite difficult to pinpoint the location in the mountains.
Xiao Bing has traveled underground many times and is already familiar with the ley lines below. She can even find her way by the scent she leaves behind.
Therefore, Yang Jiuli directly had Xiao Bing burrow underground to find the area where the 'Yin Sha Xuan Ling Fruit' was located.
As for that formation...
If Xiao Bing arrives at the destination first, she will activate the formation to trap the two black centipedes and kill them in one fell swoop.
In this way, the 'Yin Sha Xuan Ling Fruit' can be harvested as quickly as possible.
"That kid is definitely bluffing!" Zhang Xuanli's eyes flashed, his mind racing. "He shouldn't be able to maintain combat power comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator for long, otherwise why would he have fled?"
"This kid is wearing second-tier spirit boots, so he must have a lot of treasures on him! If we can capture him, we might make a fortune!" Huang Teng was also eager to make a move. He was wielding a second-tier spirit weapon, so he was obviously more confident than ordinary Qi Refining cultivators when facing Yang Jiuli.
"If we can capture Li Yourong and Yang Jiuli, it will be a great achievement, and we may have a chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Their minds raced.
They then exchanged a glance.
"Chase!" Huang Teng and Zhang Xuanli's eyes narrowed, and after exchanging a glance, they locked onto Yang Jiuli and gave chase.
They were always engaged in dangerous, high-risk activities, and they would act on any opportunity that presented itself.
Moreover, they had already used up several second-tier talismans in this attack.
If you leave without gaining anything, it will be a loss.
After all, each second-tier talisman is worth nearly two thousand low-grade spirit stones!
As for Yang Jiuli's "Poisonous Miasma Talisman"...
With proper precautions, as long as a protective light shield is generated, the two can avoid the invasion of poisonous miasma, so they are not afraid.
"They've caught up!" Yang Jiuli, leading Li Yourong through the mountains, spotted the two of them approaching rapidly from afar.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A plan came to mind.
If the two of them were to flee, his true strength would most likely be exposed.
But now that the two have caught up with us, things have taken a turn for the worse.
Yang Jiuli released his divine sense and scanned the surroundings.
Suddenly, he sensed the aura of a Qi-refining demon beast in the valley ahead.
Those were two black-winged tigers, pouncing on and killing a blue-backed demon wolf, devouring its flesh.
"That's it!" With a thought, Yang Jiuli flew towards the valley.
