Seeing the opponent's strange and difficult attack method exposed, Qi Jinghong smiled.
Li Yan's ghost technique attack was really powerful. Even his spiritual sense could not detect the opponent's attack trajectory, which was why it was invaded into the sea of consciousness before.
But the huge red cauldron he transformed with the magic weapon was actually a magical skill he cultivated, called "Red Blaze of Rhenium Stone", which could increase the power of his pure yang fire by more than several times.
As expected, under his own magic, the opponent's magic was suppressed and had nowhere to hide.
As for being able to force the other party to reveal his true form through the Yin Soul Technique, it was not because Qi Jinghong felt that Li Yan was really that incompetent, but that his pure fire cultivation was indeed extraordinary.
He thought to himself that if he had not encountered a great cultivator from the demon clan who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, he would have had the chance to self-destruct if he fought desperately, and he might have died together with the enemy.
But that was all in the past. Now he wanted to get rid of Li Yan, the weakest one, first so that he could quickly free up his hands to help others.
The explosions around were earth-shaking, and the fighting in several places was extremely fierce.
Qi Jinghong muttered something, drew a strange mark in the air with his hands, and slapped the air in front of him with both palms.
Two palm prints suddenly appeared on the side of the red cauldron close to him, followed by a loud "bang" sound, which shook the surrounding space.
The high temperature around the cauldron rose again, climbing higher and higher, making the figure of Li Yan opposite become more blurred in the high temperature distortion.
With this loud bang, a ball of red cloud suddenly spewed out from the huge mouth of the cauldron facing the sky. As soon as the red cloud came out of the cauldron's mouth, it shot towards Li Yan's body.
The moment Li Yan saw the red cloud, he wanted to cast a spell to avoid it, but then his expression changed slightly.
When the red cloud just came out of the mouth of the cauldron, it was only about three feet in size. It shot to the front of Li Yan from a distance of several hundred feet in an instant. It had grown to more than thirty feet in an instant, directly covering Li Yan.
At the moment when the ghost thread was forced out and burned, Li Yan seemed to be affected by the destruction of his magic. After a slight delay, his body moved more than twenty feet to the left.
When it seemed to have drifted to the edge of the red cloud, it was suddenly swept into the red cloud. Then, the huge red cloud rolled violently, and a series of "crackling" sounds suddenly came from the red cloud.
It seemed as if something was burning. Qi Jinghong, who was connected with Hongyun's mind, felt that the temperature in the center of Hongyun dropped rapidly.
He couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.
"I didn't expect this kid to have such a good body-protecting magic weapon!"
Just as he had this thought and was about to use all his magical power to activate the power of the red cloud again, suddenly the temperature in the center of the red cloud rose sharply again, and a loud "crackling" sound was heard.
Qi Jinghong's expression returned to normal in an instant. This was Pure Yang True Fire - his own unique skill. When he fought with other Nascent Soul cultivators in daily life, he would basically not use it until the very last moment.
The opponent's defense didn't even last half a breath. Firstly, he used this technique as soon as he came up, and secondly, Li Yan might not be prepared for it at all.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly struck his dantian with one hand, and a hot stream suddenly spurted out of his mouth.
The heat flow turned into a thin blood-red flame and flew directly towards the red cloud. This was a ray of pure yang fire that he had cultivated for hundreds of years.
He wanted to burn Li Yan to death in one fell swoop to end the fight as soon as possible.
“I hope your Nascent Soul can hold on a little longer, so that I can capture your Nascent Soul alive.
Humph! What do you mean by "not meeting a genius" or "cultivating for a hundred years to achieve a fetus?" You are just lucky or have some chance. I will search your soul slowly and force out all your secrets later. "
When Qi Jinghong spewed out the pure Yang fire, his thoughts raced.
Li Yan had always been unknown, but since his return, he had shown extraordinary aptitude for cultivation. He had long suspected that Li Yan must have obtained some great opportunity.
That's why he had used an excuse to ask about the things on the Lost Continent before. In his opinion, Li Yan deliberately omitted many details, which was to cover up some very important things.
And these are most likely some powerful skills, or rare treasures.
As long as he could capture Li Yan's Nascent Soul alive, he was confident that he had a way to pry open the other party's mouth. Even if the other party had set up restrictions deep inside his soul, he also had many means to make it impossible for Li Yan to live, let alone die.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a long, slender blood-red light flew out from the red cloud and flew towards his face with a scorching air.
This made Qi Jinghong look slightly stunned, because he had no idea what was happening.
"Why did the 'Red Flame of Rhenium Stone' I cast reflect back?"
This was his first reaction, because that bit of blood-red light was extremely similar to the "Rhenium Red Fire" he had used, both in color and the high temperature emanating from its surface.
But the next moment, he felt something was wrong. The blood spot flashed red and appeared in front of him, colliding directly with the pure yang fire he had sprayed out.
What shocked Qi Jinghong was that his Pure Yang Fire was "melted" by the other party as soon as it came into contact with that bit of blood-red.
The high-temperature flames were actually "melted" into nothingness by the opponent instead of being swallowed up.
At this time, Qi Jinghong's Pure Yang True Fire had just spurted out five meters. That Pure Yang True Fire was like someone holding down the flame with a finger, and it was resisted at lightning speed and quickly shortened.
There was only a moment's delay, and when Qi Jinghong felt something was wrong and wanted to dodge, it was too late. The flash of blood-red appeared in front of him.
In a hurry, Qi Jinghong's magic power surged all over his body, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and the little Nascent Soul figure above his Dantian sea also stood up suddenly.
Golden flames were burning on the little man's body, and his face was solemn and dignified. For a moment, it was as if the fire god Zhurong had come to the world. He waved his hands quickly, and an even more turbulent heat wave rushed into Qi Jinghong's mouth.
Qi Jinghong's Nascent Soul was constantly tempered under the Pure Yang True Fire on a daily basis. After hundreds of years, the infant fire on the Nascent Soul was three times stronger than the Pure Yang True Fire.
A wisp of infant fire can instantly burn all the sea water within a radius of three thousand feet, leaving not a drop behind. This is his real trump card.
However, he only had two strands of Infant Fire in total, and he would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. Qi Jinghong would never have dreamed that he would use Infant Fire after fighting with the opponent for less than five breaths today. He felt the life-and-death crisis that was coming in an instant from that blood-red light.
A larger and more dazzling golden light gushed out of his mouth. The blood-red spot flashed and then disappeared into the golden light. Qi Jinghong's face turned blood-red in an instant.
Then, his eyes widened, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets, and a strange "cluck, cluck..." sound came from his throat.
It felt like someone was grabbing my neck.
"boom!"
Along with the strange sound in his throat, there was another muffled sound, and a blood hole as thick as a little finger appeared on the back of Qi Jinghong's head, and a large amount of blood and brain matter spurted out.
At this moment, a figure flashed out from the red cloud in front as fast as lightning, and then Li Yan appeared in front of Qi Jinghong in a flash.
Li Yan had a blank expression, with no joy or sadness on his face. He raised one hand and squeezed out a cold word from his mouth.
"die!"
Then, a black light flashed in his hand, and an object with sharp spikes at both ends pierced through Qi Jinghong's lower back. It was the Guiyi Fenshui Thorn that had been nurtured.
Qi Jinghong's head had been severely injured, and his magic power could no longer form an effective protective shield, and he was pierced in the waist by the sharp spike as sharp as a needle.
As soon as the Nascent Soul in the body felt that his body was rapidly losing vitality, a look of fear appeared on his little face. Until now, he still didn't understand what had happened.
But there was no time to think about it at this time. The figure of the Yuanying was just a blur inside the body, and it was eager to leave the body. Suddenly, the Yuanying's body in the blur spasmed.
Then the phantom solidified again, and a look of pain appeared on the face of the Nascent Soul figure. A scream came from his mouth. It was a huge and uncontrollable pain from the depths of his soul.
"ah… "
The scream just rose and stopped the next moment.
The Guiyi Fenshui Spear in Li Yan's hand instantly touched the surface of Qi Jinghong's Nascent Soul. After his soul was nailed down, the Nascent Soul was covered in golden light and the same surging magic power burst out.
Before practicing the second level of the "Fu Bo Sha Hun" technique, although Gui Yi Fen Shui Ci's sneak attack was successful, the power of the soul that was pinned down was limited to the Nascent Soul.
Just as his soul was about to break free, the body of the Nascent Soul suddenly turned pitch black from head to toe, and a blood line was deeply embedded in the darkness.
Qi Jinghong's Nascent Soul face once again showed an expression of unbearable pain, and his magic power could no longer be condensed at all.
Then, the magic power in Li Yan's hand poured out along the Gui Yi Water-Dividing Spear. The powerful magic power instantly destroyed the Nascent Soul that had been poisoned and turned black, and turned it into a ball of blood foam.
There was no intention at all to search the other party's Nascent Soul and achieve the goal in one go.
Until this moment, Qi Jinghong in the outside world still had an expression of disbelief on his face. Before his death, he could not imagine that a cultivator as powerful as himself would perish in this way.
All this happened so fast. The two sides fought for only seven breaths before Qi Jinghong died!
Even the most powerful Nascent Soul of the Nascent Soul cultivators did not have any chance to escape. Li Yan stood beside Qi Jinghong like a ghost, with an indifferent and cold face.
When the seven Yuanyings of the other side surrounded him, the strength of both sides was clearly compared. The moment Li Yan was stopped by Qi Jinghong, he quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
The master's party was timid and fearful of attracting more powerful warriors, so they wanted to end the battle quickly. The same was true for Li Yan's party, as they were at a disadvantage in terms of the number of Nascent Souls.
We can't fight a protracted war at all.
Wei Chongran, Yiye Luohan and Mo Qing can be compared to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but this is just everyone's guess of their strength.
The other side actually has three mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, especially Li Yan and Li Yuyin who have only been Nascent Souls for ten years. The situation is extremely unfavorable.
As far as Li Yan himself was concerned, he had only been practicing various techniques of the Nascent Soul stage for a short time, and had not achieved any success in any of them.
Li Yan knew that if he confronted the opponent head-on, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. His current magic power was only as strong as that of a middle-stage Nascent Soul, and his level of magic practice was far from enough.
The only thing he had that could be used to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators without further practice was his Disintegrated Poison Body. However, it was difficult to poison a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Therefore, Li Yan disguised himself as a cultivator who practiced soul attack techniques, attempting to paralyze the enemy and wait for an opportunity to poison them. This was also the quickest way.
Although the second level of the "Fu Bo Soul Killing" technique was not mastered, it did make Li Yan's attack somewhat similar to the Yin Soul Technique.
After the attack, although Qi Jinghong was not too sure that Li Yan was a soul cultivator, he still believed it to some extent.
He couldn't afford to delay any longer, so he used his "Red Flame of Rhenium Stone" magical power in a very short time, trying to burn Li Yan to death in one fell swoop.
The moment Li Yan saw the "Red Burning Stone", his heart moved, because he had needed warming and nourishment for the Guiyi Water-Fenxing Thorn over the years.
So in addition to practicing other skills, in order to improve his strength as quickly as possible, he came up with other ideas. The best one was to have a large number of rare and precious elixirs to swallow.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Yan to find such a pill in a short time, and Li Yan cannot afford the pill that can greatly improve the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator with his wealth.
Then he thought of the many magic weapons on him. He had killed many enemies over the years, but he had tested those people's magic weapons one by one, and there were not many that he felt were powerful.
Especially now that he has formed his infant, the magic weapons he obtained in the Jindan stage seem to be less and less effective. On the contrary, some of the things he got in the foundation-building stage have always been puzzling to him.
In addition to the stolen sky scarf and the broken pottery jar, there is also the mysterious blood river that can melt the silver paper. The red clouds formed above the blood river can form a powerful fire attack.
It was originally refined by Li Yan into the Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan. This magic weapon did help Li Yan defeat powerful enemies several times during the foundation-building period.
But after reaching the Jindan stage, the power of those flames could no longer cause much harm to the Jindan cultivators. The main reason was that the number of red clouds was small, and their power was obviously not enough to deal with the Jindan cultivators who were countless times stronger than those in the foundation-building stage.
