Feeling his magical power increase, Lu Yuanshan could not contain his excitement and would not let Ma Xianming get away.
He unfolded the Wind Thunder Wings, and with the addition of the Purple Extreme Escape Light, his speed was greatly enhanced. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to Ma Xianming.
A golden ring hovered above Ma Xianming’s head—it was the Vajra Ring. Terrified, Ma Xianming turned pale, his escape speed drastically dropped as he was locked on by the ring’s power.
Moreover, the Vajra Ring continued its attack and kill, putting Ma Xianming in a difficult position, forcing him to activate the Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber to block it.
The pressure was akin to a small mountain bearing down, making even late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators retreat.
However, Woolong was no ordinary foe. Gritting his teeth, he pushed the Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber for defense.
In that instant, a massive boom resounded.
Ma Xianming was jolted downwards, losing his balance.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yuanshan pressed the attack, wielding the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword in a maneuvers called Heavenly Line, slashing at Ma Xianming.
Ma Xianming couldn’t dodge in time and hastily steadied himself, activating several talismans in a flash.
These talismans, all Tier One and Tier Two talismans, were defensive.
A total of six layers of defense, including talisman light barriers, walls, and magical shields, all activated at once, making Ma Xianming surrounded by a dazzling display.
This was the maximum defense Ma Xianming could muster.
A series of explosive sounds rang out; the defensive barriers crafted by the six talismans were quickly torn apart by the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword!
Even then, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword’s power remained undiminished, slashing towards Ma Xianming, leaving him ashen-faced and exclaiming in despair.
Ma Xianming’s eyes widened in terror, unable to avoid it. He was beheaded with a single stroke, falling dead on the spot.
After executing Ma Xianming, Lu Yuanshan made sure to drag Ma Xianming’s body onto the Flood Dragon Boat, then turned around, transforming almost into a streak of purple light, heading straight toward Woolong.
Woolong was fiercely battling Lu Zhiwei but noted Ma Xianming’s demise, shocked and sensing imminent danger.
Woolong was no fool; knowing that even someone as strong as Ma Xianming was killed by Lu Yuanshan, he assumed Lu Yuanshan had some trump card.
To linger any longer would result in the same fate as Ma Xianming.
With this thought, Woolong swung onto a Flying Sword, attempting Sword Control to flee.
But just as he made the move, he felt the sword qi surging ahead, causing a stinging sensation on his skin.
Upon closer inspection, he saw it was Lu Zhiwei’s Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword coming at him.
Woolong was shocked, cursing inwardly as he was blocked by Lu Zhiwei’s Flying Sword, cutting off his escape route.
It was impossible to confront it directly!
Woolong had to change tactics, sprinting in another direction, creating a burst of air sonic booms from the speed.
In the blink of an eye, he had fled a kilometer away!
But this speed was not considered fast in Lu Yuanshan’s eyes.
The Purple Extreme Escape Light combined with the Wind Thunder Wings made Lu Yuanshan’s speed prominent among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Only two breaths later, he had overtaken Woolong, already close to him. The most update n0vels are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Faced with such a situation, Woolong still had no intention of fighting back, changing direction to flee again.
But by then, it was too late, and Lu Yuanshan had already unleashed a sword slash, the blade gliding past Woolong’s cheek, the cold and harsh sword qi causing a stinging pain on Woolong’s cheek.
"Why drive me to death?!"
Woolong already wanted to beg for mercy, when a round ring flew through the air and firmly bound Woolong’s torso.
Usually mild-tempered and easygoing, Lu Yuanshan’s fury was ignited.
Woolong was two small realms below him in strength, making him no match for Lu Yuanshan.
With Lu Zhiwei assisting, Woolong was thoroughly trapped, becoming fish on the chopping block, helpless.
Lu Yuanshan wasted no time chattering with Woolong, with a cold expression driving the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword to decapitate the terrified Woolong with one stroke.
Even at the moment of death, Woolong’s face retained an expression of unwillingness, eyes wide as his head rolled onto the Flood Dragon Boat.
"This battle was quite tough. If Father hadn’t intervened to assist, enhancing my strength, I wouldn’t have been able to kill Ma Xianming in such a short time!"
"So, Father also restored your magical power and qi blood?"
The siblings let out a long breath and inquired of each other gleefully, devoid of the tense atmosphere from the previous battle.
"Alright, it’s not the time to discuss this."
Lu Ping’s voice communicated.
"Tidily things up and return to Cyan Lotus Mountain quickly to prevent further issues."
The siblings nodded in agreement, put away their Lifebound Flying Swords, and began to quickly clean up the battlefield.
They thoroughly looted the possessions of Woolong and Ma Xianming.
Returning to the Cyan Mountain Sect, the three siblings gathered to first catalog the spoils of war.
This battle slain two Foundation Establishment cultivators involved in the Celestial South Exchange Conference, so there must be some gains.
Firstly, the Magical Artifacts.
Four Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts.
The Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber.
A Spear Magical Artifact.
And the Black Cloud Banner.
The Celestial Ruins Godslaying Saber and Black Cloud Banner were both acquired during the Exchange Conference, both pretty decent Tier Three Artifacts.
The rest were a few Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, not worth mentioning.
Secondly, there were several bottles of elixirs, mostly Tier Two Spirit Pills for replenishing qi and recovering blood.
Then there were the Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stones in Ma Xianming’s Storage Bag amounted to over six thousand, typical wealth for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Woolong came from a sect, carrying even more than Ma Xianming, totaling over twelve thousand spirit stones.
Sect cultivators are indeed wealthier than loose cultivators.
Lastly, aside from some miscellaneous items and low-tier techniques, there were some more valuable items.
A Jade Marrow Golden Branch, obtained by Woolong at the Exchange Conference.
As for Ma Xianming, there was a piece of Eternal Sand Silver Stone, exchanged from Liu Qiumei.
Such stone is a rare Tier Three Artifact Refining Treasure, capable of refining Tier Three Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Together with the Blazing Heaven Sword and a bottle of Dragon and Snake Powder, the haul this time was quite fruitful.
Indeed, wealth through battles proves to be a swift path to prosperity.
Clearing up the gains, Lu Yuanshan mused this thought but merely as a sentiment.
Once they finished counting the spoils, their attention naturally turned to the Foundation Establishment Pills.
Lu Yuanshan smiled, extracting the Foundation Establishment Pill and the bottle of Moonlight Powder from the Storage Bag and handed them to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng cheerfully accepted them, unable to conceal the excitement on his face.
"This time, thanks to big brother and little sister!"
"Haha, we’re family; no need to be so polite!"
"In the Cyan Mountain Sect, now only you meet the requirements for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Naturally, it’s yours."
