Above the surface of the lake.
Half of the old cultivator’s body plunged into the water with a splash, spreading a large red stain.
Fang Xi reached out to grab the old cultivator’s gourd artifact and Storage Bag, holding them in his hand, lost in thought.
The speed of the “Black Cloud Cap” was still too slow. If it weren’t for the old cultivator’s carelessness and overconfidence as he flew towards him, and if Fang Xi hadn’t unexpectedly retreated, fooling his opponent, he might not have been able to get so close.
Otherwise, he would have had to use the “Flying Heaven Talisman.”
This was also the disadvantage of a body cultivator, somewhat lacking in long-range attacks.
“Not just long-range attacks, but scouting as well!”
Fang Xi, leaning on his Dark Iron Sword, tried to probe the situation at the center of the battlefield but found that he couldn’t do anything…
Xiumu and Wei Yixin and his wife had very tacitly chosen to flee in different directions, and now it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
‘Should I… change clothes now and kill my way back in disguise?’
An abrupt thought emerged in his mind.
With the skills of a Grandmaster’s “Qi throughout the body” plus the Dark Iron Sword, Fang Xi was confident he could take down a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
At that time, the balance of the battlefield would surely shift!
‘But it’s a bit too deliberate. Ruan Xingling’s side has so few people; she could guess it must have to do with us after a random guess… Then a thorough investigation would expose me…’
‘Although exposing my identity seems not that bad, it still doesn’t feel quite right… Being too powerful can arouse jealousy and suspicion, and this woman is not easy to fool…’
‘Forget it, let’s just quietly wait for the outcome. I believe in Ruan Xingling’s shrewdness; she should have a trump card…’
‘Even if the gamble is lost, at worst, I’ll look for another opportunity or go to the Guieye Divine Sect to become a Spirit Plant Director?’
…
Above the Lake-Reef Battlefield.
A mass of blue luminescence tangled with dark clouds, within which one could faintly see blue butterflies fluttering and ghost creatures howling…
Lu Jingqing, protected by a Vajra Talisman, sat cross-legged, silently circulating his Profound Art. He had already undone his Red Ape transformation, with his eyelids twitching frequently, apparently soon to recover his ability to act.
As for Ruan Xingling?
This female cultivator was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining and was being attacked by the Kou Brothers, in a very perilous situation.
“Haha… Brother, put in a little more effort, this girl can’t hold on much longer!”
The second son of the Kou family manipulated a Gold Dragon Knife, its light slashing wildly, hacking crazily at Ruan Xingling’s flower basket.
Every time Ruan Xingling’s protective flower basket took a hit, petals would scatter, and the Spirit Plants within seemed on the verge of withering.
The eldest son of the Kou family was much more composed, not uttering a word, wielding a Gold Dragon Hammer!
This top-grade artifact was extremely heavy, tangled with Ruan Xingling’s Flying Sword, and each hammer strike emitted a mournful whine from the sword.
The two brothers attacking Ruan Xingling together seemed to have the upper hand.
Suddenly, the eldest son of the Kou family revealed a ferocious smile, his Magic Power surging!
Boom!
The Gold Dragon Hammer suddenly expanded several times in size, its scales shining as if they had come to life with Golden Light. With a heavy smash, it struck right on the body of the Flying Sword!
Humming!
A clear crack appeared on the surface of the Flying Sword, which was then smashed into the water, causing a series of ripples.
“Ah…”
Standing on the flower basket, surrounded by thousands of petals, Ruan Xingling’s face turned red for an instant, and then became extremely pale.
“Haha… Die!”
Seizing the opportunity, the second son of the Kou family turned his Gold Dragon Knife into a beam of light, the blade surging, quickly breaking through the basket’s defense, and aimed straight at Ruan Xingling’s slender, fair neck!
Although he was greedy and lecherous, he was ruthless towards female cultivators of average appearance, sparing no mercy.
Dingling!
Just as the knife light broke through the flower basket, Ruan Xingling gave her hand bell a gentle shake.
The pleasant sound of the bell suddenly rang out.
The Kou Brothers both felt a shock to their minds, their heads becoming groggy as if hit by a hammer.
The Gold Dragon Knife and Gold Dragon Hammer, two top-grade artifacts, became as wobbly as drunken strongmen in mid-air.
Ruan Xingling took the opportunity to slap her Storage Bag, and a Talisman shining with spiritual light flew out of it.
After infusing it with Magic Power, the Talisman was instantly activated, and Thunder Light flickered!
Second-order lower-grade—Thunder Strike Talisman!
Zap!
A purple Thunder Light seemed to descend from the heavens, striking the eldest son of the Kou family!
The defensive aura around him shattered like paper, and his robe instantly dimmed, turning to ash!
Roar!
After the Thunder Light passed, the upper half of the eldest son of the Kou family’s body was charred, his aura rapidly weakening, indicating he was severely injured!
“Brother?!”
The second son of the Kou family, coming back to his senses, panicked, quickly steering his Gold Dragon Knife to protect his brother’s front.
“It’s a special artifact that directly attacks the Sea of Consciousness! And a second-order Talisman! Little Miss Ruan, you’ve hidden your capabilities well!”
The eldest son of the Kou family coughed up blood and said breathlessly.
“I too did not expect that you, the eldest son of the Kou family, are actually a third-layer body cultivator! Otherwise, that Thunder Strike just now… would have been the end of you!”
Ruan Xingling played with the bell in her hand, her tone hard to discern.
“Hmph! What about now?”
The eldest son of the Kou family tore off his upper clothing, seeming ferocious and enraged.
But the next moment, he was stunned.
One, two, three…
Ruan Xingling smilingly took out three differently colored but very potent second-order Talismans from her Storage Bag and said with a smile, “I kindly ask the two of you to proceed on your way!”
“Not good, split up!”
The eldest son of the Kou family shrieked, rapidly forming hand seals; the wounds on his body burst open, revealing a swath of blood light that enveloped him, rapidly fleeing in one direction, at an astonishing speed—it was the seldom-seen Blood Escape Skill!
“Brother!”
The second son of the Kou family, seeing his brother flee, could only pick another direction, turning into a beam of golden light to escape.
Left behind, Ruan Xingling saw the Kou brothers running away and suddenly let out a wry smile as the Talismans instantly turned into illusions, exploding into spots of light… it turned out they were all fake!
“It’s a pity I can’t keep these two. Even if the Talismans were real, I wouldn’t have enough Magic Power left.”
She sighed lightly, turned towards the cultivator with the surname Yin entangled with Feng Baimeng, and nodded, “Today, at least, I must keep one person here!”
Ruan Xingling maneuvered the flower basket, flying towards Feng Baimeng’s battlefield, and the pleasant sound of the bells rang out once more…
…
“Damn it, I didn’t expect that girl to be such a tough opponent!”
The second son of Kou family used Escape Light and in the blink of an eye, flew out more than ten miles.
He secretly clenched his teeth: “The two of us brothers have really fallen this time. Ah… ever since our third brother vanished without reason, my luck has only gotten worse…”

“I’ll temporarily remember today’s grudge and make the Ruan Family pay for this in the future! Hmph!”
While the second son of Kou family was lamenting like a defeated dog, suddenly, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of a slowly drifting black cloud magical artifact.
On the artifact stood a person, leaning on a huge Black Iron Sword, seemingly gazing over the battlefield.
Sighting his own Escape Light, the person immediately got scared and turned to flee.
“It’s one of that woman’s subordinates!”
A flash of ferocity shone in the second son of Kou family’s eyes, and he was about to chase after them to end this person’s life!
But the next moment, he retracted that thought: “Escaping with my life is more important… you’re lucky!”
…
“Why isn’t he chasing after me? This doesn’t fit the personality of a cultivation-robber!”
Fang Xi had been acting for a long time and noticed that the Escape Light actually showed signs of directly leaving, which made him slightly depressed.
If the opponent had come straight at him, he could have reenacted the scene of counter-killing the old Xiu earlier and saved a ‘Flying Heaven Talisman’.
“What a pity, it’s such a pity!”
He sighed, took out a ‘Flying Heaven Talisman’ and slapped it onto himself.
With the circulation of Magic Power, his body suddenly flew up straight, his speed surpassed the Black Cloud Cap by several times!
The next moment, the second son of Kou family discovered that the mere Qi Refining fourth-level junior was not fleeing, but instead flying towards him, causing him to bellow with rage: “Brat, you’re courting death!”
The Gold Dragon Knife turned into a streak of light, killing instantly!
Fang Xi did not dodge, belting out a loud shout.
With the True Gang released externally, his whole body seemed to be clad in a layer of crimson gauze!
Clang!
The Gold Dragon Knife’s strike landed on the True Gang and was immediately repelled.
The next instant, he met the second son of Kou family’s horrified gaze.
Flying Heaven Talisman!
Energy coursed through his body!
The Dark Iron Sword roared, its blade and tip producing three inches of crimson sword light!
“Slash!”
Fang Xi held the sword with both hands, raised it high, and hacked down with the force of a mountain-splitting blow!
Splat!
The Dark Iron Sword, infused with Gang Qi, easily sliced through the golden protective barrier and onto the body of the second son of Kou family.
After Fang Xi dashed some distance, the second son of Kou family seemed to finally come back to his senses, a line of blood appearing from top to bottom of his forehead, trailing down his nose bridge, mouth, and reaching his belly.
Then, his left and right sides shifted apart, body split in two and fell onto the lake surface, blood spraying the sky!
Beneath a single sword, the cultivation-robber was beheaded!
Fang Xi sheathed his Dark Iron Sword, very satisfied with his move.
He purposefully didn’t choose a horizontal slash but a vertical split because he feared cultivators had such strong vitality that even being bisected at the waist, they might still endure and employ some secret skill or magical artifact.
But a downward split was different, whoever was hit would die instantly, with no room for struggle!
“It’s just that there wasn’t much Immortal Qi…”
Fang Xi complained, collecting the Storage Bag and the Gold Dragon Knife that looked rather familiar to him from the second son of Kou family.
“This magical artifact… indeed is from the same series as the third son of Kou family’s. I wonder when I can collect the full set of three.”
He put the Gold Dragon Knife into the Storage Bag and tucked the second son of Kou family’s Storage Bag away.
After some thought, he also refined the old Xiu’s yellow calabash magical artifact and then manipulated it to spew out a clump of black water that smashed onto himself!
Bang!
The patched blue robe instantly ripped apart, looking utterly ragged.
But his skin remained smooth and unscathed.
Protected by True Gang, a mere mid-grade magical artifact couldn’t breach the defense.
“That should do it, right?”
After doing all this, Fang Xi maneuvered the Black Cloud Cap, swaying towards the center of the battlefield.
He arrived neither too early nor too late, just in time to see Ruan Xingling gently ringing her bells, causing the Yin surnamed cultivator to fall into a stupor at that moment.
Countless blue Dream Butterfly Worms immediately flew up, completely enveloping the Yin surnamed cultivator.
When the Dream Butterfly Worms dispersed, only a skin-and-bone corpse fell into the lake.
“Xingling did well!”
Feng Baimeng’s face was filled with joy as she collected the Yin surnamed cultivator’s Storage Bag and the small flag magical artifact.
At this time, from two other directions, Xiumu and Wei Yixin with his wife also hurried over.
Wei Yixin and his wife were full of energy, having had the advantage of two against one, with no real stress, whereas Xiumu appeared somewhat magic power exhausted.
But the most ragged among them had to be Fang Xi.
“Mr. Fang, you actually survived the encounter with that Qi Refining fifth-level Lu Family cultivator?”
Hua Chanjuan covered her lips, somewhat incredulous.
“After exhausting all my trump cards and a prolonged fierce battle, I finally slew that formidable enemy…”
Fang Xi held up the yellow calabash in his hand and responded with a wry smile.
Now that the situation was settled, he had to show a bit of strength in the upcoming division of benefits, otherwise everyone would treat him as a pushover.
“It’s fortunate that everyone is unharmed; this is all cause for celebration!”
Ruan Xingling landed her flower basket and swept her gaze over the four people, lightly laughing.
“Thanks to the lady’s great magical power for driving away the Kou brothers, otherwise we would all have no place for our corpses… I am incompetent, letting that Lu Family cultivator escape.”
Xiumu said with a wry smile, bowing.
Wei Yixin, with a stern face, threw out a severed head.
Only when Feng Baimeng also came down did they surround Lu Jingqing, who, protected by the Vajra Talisman, finally opened his eyes. Seeing this scene, his face was filled with despair…
