Wan Qingshe thought he could easily kill his opponents by crossing levels, but that was actually due to his sword cultivation skills. What they learned were the most powerful killing skills in the world.
Wan Qingshe's training mainly focuses on practicing attacks and nurturing flying swords. He can often break through the opponent's defense with unstoppable force, and it is the sharpest attack in the world.
However, the shortcomings of sword cultivators are also obvious. Although their magic power is pure, it is not strong enough. But they don't care, because as long as they have a sword in their hand, their opponents can hardly be their match.
Often a fierce fight could end within a few breaths, so if one encounters a cultivator who practices earth-based techniques, it would depend on who has the sharpest spear and who has the strongest shield.
Unfortunately, six or seven out of ten cases are when sword cultivators defeat their enemies with a single sword strike. They practice hard day after day just to hone their skills to defeat all enemies with a single sword strike.
Today Wan Qingshe met Li Yan. Li Yan's magic power was almost equal to that of a late-stage great cultivator. The only difference was that the late-stage great cultivator had a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
Water-based martial arts are the softest and strongest things in the world, and they emphasize the words "toughness and thickness". When supplemented by the secret techniques and magic weapons of the "Five Immortal Sect", it is nothing but a fool's dream for Wan Qingshe to break Li Yan's defense.
Wan Qingshe was five hundred feet in front of Li Yan in an instant. While rushing forward, he quickly made a sword gesture with both hands in front of his chest, and a small white shadow appeared at the fingertips of his hands.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he pointed forward towards Li Yan.
The narrow green flying sword that followed above his head instantly surpassed Wan Qingshe, flashed to the front, and merged into the void the next moment.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of narrow green flying swords suddenly appeared in front of Li Yan, pouring down like flaming arrows.
"Shadow Shattering Sword!"
One of Wan Qingshe's ultimate killing methods is that among the hundred green narrow flying swords, only one is real, and which one is real and which one is fake depends entirely on Wan Qingshe's thoughts.
He can switch the real sword to any other in an instant. His sword skills are hard to defend against. Those Yuanying level wind beasts have suffered a lot from this technique, and some have even died directly from this sword skill.
Wan Qingshe's consciousness was also firmly locked on Li Yan. What surprised him was that Li Yan actually stood still without dodging or evading.
Faced with the dense flying swords whizzing towards him, he suddenly raised one hand, and with black and yellow light flashing on his fingertips, he grabbed the front of his dantian like lightning.
At the same time, he ignored the hundreds of flying swords that were flashing cold light and were also shot in front of him, and let them hit him directly.
"Zheng!"
With a sound of metallic collision, Li Yan was pierced through the body by dozens of flying swords, but not a drop of blood flew out of his body, and even his clothes were not torn at all.
At this moment, Li Yan held a long, narrow green flying sword between his two fingers in one hand.
At the tips of his fingers, black and yellow light flashed, and the flying sword was shaking constantly, as if it was struggling unwillingly, but it could not escape Li Yan's grip at all.
"You... How could you possibly..."
Wan Qingshe, who was flying, immediately stopped where he was, and for the first time, shock appeared in his eyes.
Even though he had been blocked twice by the opponent and then hit back, the shock was not as great as it is now.
What he had always believed to be his killer trump card was like child's play in front of the other party. He was confident that there might be someone in the Nascent Soul Realm who could see the flaw in his magic formula, but the chance of that happening was extremely slim.
That would require the other party to cultivate a special skill similar to the Buddhist "Heavenly Eye", or to be a cultivator who is much stronger than oneself, in order to be able to do it.
But his attack just now had almost no pause. Even when it was broken one after another, the connection between the front and the back was very smooth.
He didn't notice anything unusual about Li Yan at all. He just stretched out two fingers and accurately clamped his real sword in an instant, leaving him no chance to switch to the flying sword's body.
At this moment, Wan Qingshe thought that Li Yan must have been practicing some special martial arts, which was why he just happened to break his third attack.
Li Yan looked at the other party indifferently. Wan Qingshe's combat power was far beyond his own realm. Even if he was ranked in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he would probably be among the top powerhouses.
Even if he faced a veteran middle-stage Nascent Soul master like the Third Elder, it would not be easy to win. But compared to Li Yan, he was not on the same level.
Li Yan's spiritual awareness and combat power have reached the late Nascent Soul stage, which allows him to easily crush those in the first two realms. That is to say, when facing a true late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he is not sure of defeating the opponent, but he is confident of escaping.
As long as Wan Qingshe's "Shadow Shattering Sword" switches between reality and illusion, space fluctuations will occur under Li Yan's overwhelming spiritual sense.
Even though Wan Qingshe tried his best to cover it up, there was still a difference in the spiritual consciousness attached to the sword when it came to controlling the truth and falsehood.
This difference can be balanced through the practice of the technique itself, allowing the auras of each other to become closer, and by using the spatial fluctuations created during fast flight to hide, ultimately reaching a point where they cannot be distinguished.
However, if the difference in spiritual power between the two parties is too great, it cannot be compensated by magic.
Even if Wan Qingshe overestimated Li Yan, all he could think of was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, who might be able to fight against a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm with the help of magic weapons and secret techniques.
However, he had only heard of the practice methods to enhance spiritual consciousness in legends and had never encountered it in reality. He did not think that he would be able to meet this type of cultivator in the lower world.
What's more, if Li Yan was a late Nascent Soul cultivator, he might not choose to fight with them, but would deal with the Tianli cultivator only when he was sure of his victory.
At this moment, there were several sounds of breaking through the air flying towards him at a high speed behind him.
"Fellow Daoist Wan, three moves have been made! If you have not found any connection with those people in the jade slip, please return!"
The third elder's cold voice came over.
Li Yan did not say anything, but just looked into the other person's eyes quietly. Seeing that Wan Qingshe's fighting spirit was rapidly fading, he threw the narrow green flying sword between his fingers towards the other person.
"Now that you are so powerful, would you consider joining our shop as a deacon elder?"
The sound of breaking air behind Li Yan was getting closer, and Su Hong's voice like a yellow warbler sounded.
On the other side, Wan Qingshe's originally dazed expression had now returned to normal.
He also saw several figures approaching quickly. The Third Elder's expression was no longer as gentle as before, but rather cold and indifferent.
Su Hong at the back also had a smile on her face. They had just read the jade slip given by Wan Qingshe. Immortal cultivators have a strong memory and can quickly verify the magic performed by Li Yan with the people in the jade slip.
Of course, for the Third Elder and Su Hong, they were just curious about some of the contents, but they would not compare it with Li Yan at all. They knew where Li Yan came from better than anyone else here.
Looking at Su Hong, whose face was filled with smiles and whose beautiful eyes were sparkling with color, Wan Qingshe suddenly felt boundless jealousy.
He could see that Su Hong's smile was from the heart. He had been very caring towards Su Hong along the way, but the other party didn't even want him to get close to him.
Although he was also joking with him along the way, he could certainly feel that it was a polite smile.
Before, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, they had only known each other for a short time, and some things certainly took time to accumulate, especially emotions.
But now, seeing Su Hong's every move, smile and frown, she seemed to have opened her heart to another man, Wan Qingshe's jealousy instantly reached its peak...
There was suddenly a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and his mind moved. The long, narrow green flying sword that had just flown back suddenly trembled slightly, leaving only a residual image in its original place.
At the same time, a small snake with green eyes and emerald scales appeared in an instant on the right side of Li Yan's neck! The snake had a cone-shaped head and two long, curved white teeth protruding from its upper jaw. While its body was still blurry, it had already opened its mouth and bit towards Li Yan's neck.
It all happened so quickly that almost as the three parties reacted, the little green snake appeared, and Li Yan had already withdrawn his magic power.
"careful!"
"Daoyou Li..."
Two exclamations sounded one after the other. They were the voices of the Third Elder and Su Hong. At this time, Li Yan was slowly retracting his arm.
"laugh!!"
The protective light shield on Li Yan's neck seemed to be corroded when touched by the two curved hooks and sharp white teeth. In an instant, a black smoke rose up, and the pair of sharp teeth fiercely chiseled into Li Yan's skin.
It seemed that Li Yan just reacted at this moment, and he shouted coldly.
"you wanna die!"
He swung his palm violently and slashed the little green snake's body, and the little green snake was chopped away by him.
At the same time, with a cold shout, Li Yan's body disappeared from the spot.
"Um??"
Wan Qingshe only felt that he suddenly lost the trace of Li Yan in front of him in his consciousness, and an uncontrollable sense of danger immediately arose in his heart.
Without even thinking about it, Wan Qingshe retreated quickly to the rear, pulling up the entire hem of his clothes straight forward. He exerted his speed to the extreme.
As he was retreating quickly, he suddenly felt a strong force surging from his back. This force appeared too suddenly and without any warning.
"not good!"
Wan Qingshe was shocked. He didn't sense anyone circling behind him. A thought flashed through his mind for a moment, wondering if there was someone else who had been secretly planning to ambush him.
But his reaction was faster than he thought. There was a flash of light in his hands, and two long swords appeared in his left and right hands, stabbing back quickly.
At the same time, although the whole body was still retreating rapidly, in an instant, it turned over like a strange python, and with a pause and twist, it dodged to the side diagonally.
"boom!"
Although he reacted quickly, the man behind him attacked even faster. Just as he thrust out his two swords, he was hit on the right shoulder by a palm strike. His body protection shield seemed to be of no use at this moment.
With only a slight "hiss" sound, he was thrown to the side and flew out sideways. A palm print instantly appeared on his shoulder, and a palm hole appeared on his magic-level clothes.
"puff!"
As Wan Qingshe staggered, a stream of blood shot out of his mouth. He tried his best to steady his body, his feet dotting in the air like double shadows, but he still slid forward at a rapid speed, not stopping until he had run a hundred feet away.
"Wan Qingshe, quickly take out the antidote, do you want to be an enemy of our Tianli tribe?"
The third elder's voice of shock and anger rang out. At this time, she had already arrived here first and landed not far from Li Yan.
"This is the Jade Scaled Black Snake!"
Su Hong's voice also came from behind. While she was still flying, she had already recognized the origin of the little green snake. It was the extremely vicious "Green Scaled Black Snake".
This monster is rarely seen in the lower world. One year after its birth, it will automatically be promoted to the second level, and can reach the fifth level at the highest. It is extremely poisonous and unrivaled in the world.
Even where it wanders, no grass will grow. After it reaches the second stage, one drop of venom can easily kill a Jindan cultivator, and it can kill a group of people. The poison is extremely strong and overbearing.
Unexpectedly, this monster was refined by Wan Qingshe into a magic weapon and became a spirit of the weapon.
Judging from the fluctuations in the aura of this monster, it should have reached the late third stage. Its venom can definitely kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Although this monster is precious and rare, the Third Elder is also a master of witchcraft and is very proficient in highly poisonous things, so he naturally recognizes it.
Her face became more and more ugly. Wan Qingshe had agreed to use the three moves, but he suddenly launched a sneak attack. The Third Elder's face changed drastically in anxiety.
"I... I am not... an enemy of the Tianli tribe. If I don't... push him to the limit, how could I possibly... allow him to use his ultimate skill!!"
As Wan Qingshe spoke, his white teeth were covered with blood, which opened and closed, forming blood threads that stuck together, making people feel extremely chilled.
"Stop talking nonsense and bring out the antidote within a moment!"
While the Third Elder was speaking, he had already quickly floated towards Wan Qing She.
When Wan Qingshe saw this, he immediately retreated quickly and put some distance between himself and the Third Elder again.
"I'll give you the antidote. Fellow Daoist Li has outstanding skills, so nothing will happen for a while. There are some things we still need to..."
A cold look flashed in Wan Qingshe's eyes as he retreated. Even if he gave the antidote later, it would take a while to delay it, at least to let the poison penetrate deeper, so that Li Yan would have to spend more than ten years healing and suffering.
The Third Elder stopped talking, her beautiful eyes were already cold, she suddenly made a hand gesture, a strange rune appeared in her snow-white jade hands, and she was about to cast a spell to attack.
"Third Elder, no need!"
And at this moment, Li Yan's voice came.
The actions of all parties were too fast. Until this moment, the blurry figure of Li Yan's attack just now appeared solidly.
When the third elder heard Li Yan's voice, she immediately swept her spiritual sense behind her and was stunned for a moment.
Because Li Yan, who was dressed in a blue shirt, looked normal, and his aura was as calm as the undercurrent of the sea. He did not look like he was poisoned at all.
"Friend Li, are you okay..."
Su Hong was finally brought here by the two men. It was obvious that the two old men in black robes and masks did not want to get involved in this matter, so the flying speed was still much slower. This made Su Hong feel a little dissatisfied, but he did not say anything.
Wan Qingshe also saw Li Yan clearly at this time. He originally wanted to let the poison of the "Green Scaled Black Snake" take effect a little longer. With the magic power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could still resist it for seven or eight breaths.
After all, when his "Green Scaled Black Snake" was refined, it was only at the third level, and it was impossible for it to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator with one blow.
But Li Yan's current condition did not show any of the symptoms he should have. Logically, after being bitten, it would only take half a breath for the symptoms of the poison to show up.
At this moment, a blue-gray light appeared above Wan Qingshe's head. It was the "Green Scaled Black Snake" that was chopped off by Li Yan's palm. However, its current state surprised Wan Qingshe!
