Fierce Battle Against Luo Minghui

The three water snakes roared and soared into the air, blocking the Crimson Fire Sword that had transformed into Red Crab sword light.

Seeing that Ling Pengyun still had energy left and launched three attacks in succession, Luo Minghui, who was riding the flying boat, was shocked.

However, at this moment, he was filled with hatred and did not think much about it.

He Hand Seals and channeled another burst of spiritual energy into the Crimson Fire Sword.

With the enhancement of spiritual power, the Crimson Fire Sword unleashed a torrent of crimson flames that swept over the three five-zhang-long water snakes, corroding their bodies.

Although the three five-zhang-long water snakes were formed from spiritual energy, the energy that condensed into these three water snakes was Water Spiritual Energy.

Water and fire are inherently incompatible.

Water can overcome fire.

However, if the fire is intense, it can also extinguish water.

Now, the three water snakes are facing such a situation; they are simply unable to withstand the erosion of the crimson fire.

In just five breaths, the three water snakes were completely burned to ashes by the large amount of crimson fire surging from the Crimson Fire Sword.

Without the obstruction of the three water snakes, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, carrying Tian Huo red flames, swept directly towards Ling Pengyun.

Seeing how powerful the Crimson Fire Flying Sword was, Ling Pengyun's expression became even more solemn.

He dared not hesitate any longer. He formed hand Hand Seals and once again unleashed the Three Water Snake Technique, transforming into three five-zhang-long water serpents to meet the Crimson Fire Flying Sword.

Although this second batch of three-headed water snakes, just like the first one, did not last three breaths before being burned to ashes by the massive crimson flames surging from the Crimson Fire Flying Sword.

However, the three water snakes also greatly reduced the power of the Crimson Fire Flying Sword Crimson Fire Flying Sword, leaving it with only 40% of its original strength.

Ling Pengyun seized the opportunity, Hand Seals, and unleashed the Azure Sea Sky Sword, transforming it into a ten-zhang-long Azure Sea Sky Sword, which slammed into the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, which only had forty percent of its remaining power.

The two swords clashed, creating streaks of blue sword shadows and countless bursts of crimson flames.

After a brief stalemate, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, not yet fully victorious, suffered a setback, being knocked several feet away by the powerful Azure Sea Sky Sword.

With only 20-30% of its power remaining, the Azure Sea Sky Sword, under Ling Pengyun's control, actively blasted towards Luo Minghui in the distance.

Luo Minghui was surprised that Ling Pengyun had so easily neutralized the Crimson Fire Flying Sword he had unleashed.

Such performance demonstrates a combat strength far exceeding that of an ordinary Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At the same time, Luo Minghui also recognized Ling Pengyun as someone with extraordinary potential.

An enemy with extraordinary potential should naturally not be allowed to live.

Their determination to kill Ling Pengyun was even stronger.

Luo Minghui no longer held back. He quickly formed hand Hand Seals and unleashed his strongest attack, the Innate Spell "Flame Fire Annihilation Wind" attached to Cultivation Method technique.

A vast expanse of flames formed from the void, quickly coalescing into a Fire Phoenix fourteen feet in size.

With a disdainful look, the Fire Phoenix glanced at the incoming Azure Sea Sky Sword, let out a cry, and flapped its wings, which were made of flames, directly smashing the Azure Sea Sky Sword into pieces.

The Fire Phoenix's momentum intensified, and it quickly flapped its wings, charging towards Ling Pengyun.

"Oh no."

Seeing the Fire Phoenix, which was fourteen zhang in size and comparable to the full-force attack of Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivator, approaching, Ling Pengyun quickly took out three Second Rank Low Grade "Thunderbird Talisman" that he had just acquired, intending to use them as Backup Plan.

These three Second Rank Low Grade Thunderbird Talisman were purchased by Xue Chao, a Second Rank Low Grade Talisman Crafter, after he returned to Tu Yuan Market Town with Yan Siyi Ling Pengyun others not long ago.

Although Xue Chao did not possess Thunder Spirit Root, he was extremely skilled at crafting lightning-attribute Spirit Talisman Cave, and these three Thunderbird Talisman were made by Xue Chao.

Furthermore, the power of lightning-attribute Spirit Talisman Cave far exceeds that of other five-element Spirit Talisman Cave of the same rank by more than 30%.

It was precisely for this reason that Ling Pengyun, Spell Cultivator, spent a hefty sum of six hundred Spirit Stone to purchase the three Thunderbird Talisman from Xue Chao.

Of course, this was only because Xue Chao gave Ling Pengyun a discount due to Ling Pengyun's status.

Generally, a Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Talisman Cave costs around two hundred Spirit Stone. A Second Rank Low Grade lightning-attribute Spirit Talisman Cave, due to its power, generally costs between two hundred and fifty and three hundred Spirit Stone Spirit Stone.

He wouldn't even look at ordinary second-tier Offensive Spirit Talisman.

As soon as the three Thunderbird Talisman were taken out, Ling Pengyun channeled his spiritual Spirit Talisman Cave into them and launched them.

Lightning crackled on the three Spirit Talisman Cave, and they quickly transformed into three thunderbirds, each seven feet tall.

Although these three thunderbirds, each seven feet tall, were weaker than the fourteen-foot-tall Fire Phoenix, their flight speed was extremely fast because they were made of thunder-attribute Spirit Talisman Cave talismans.

Ahead of the Fire Phoenix, it directly struck the fourteen-zhang-tall Fire Phoenix, scattering a large area of flames.

Streaks of lightning also scattered in all directions.

When the three thunderbirds had exhausted their remaining strength, the Fire Phoenix, which was fourteen feet tall, had also shrunk by nearly half.

During this time, Ling Pengyun once again Hand Seals and condensed two of his Innate Spell spells, the Azure Sea Sky Sword Art, unleashing two dazzling blue Sword-Ray ten feet long.

With the combined force of the two Sword-Ray, they barely managed to shatter the fourteen-zhang-long Fire Phoenix, which had only about half of its remaining power.

However, this also completely depleted Ling Pengyun's spiritual energy.

Helpless, he had no choice but to take out another medicine bottle from his Storage Bag and pour out two Spirit Returning Pill.

Looking at the two Spirit Returning Pill, Ling Pengyun's expression darkened.

These are the last two Spirit Returning Pill he has.

After a moment of stunned silence, he finally put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

Ling Pengyun also activated his Cultivation Method to refine the pill in his abdomen.

A large amount of medicinal power immediately filled Ling Pengyun's meridians.

This time, however, even after consuming two Spirit Returning Pill at the same time, he did not experience the same ease as before.

On the contrary, the large amount of medicinal power rushed into his meridians, causing him to feel extremely sore, but he could still barely bear it.

"Judging from the current state of my meridians, my meridian strength is such that I can only take a maximum of four Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Returning Pill."

"I'm afraid that if I take another Spirit Returning Pill, my meridians will be damaged, or even broken by the medicinal power." Ling Pengyun felt the pain coming from his meridians and made a calculation in his heart.

An ordinary Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can probably only swallow two Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Returning Pill Spirit Returning Pill Second Rank Low Grade relatively weak.

Just as Ling Pengyun was taking the Spirit Returning Pill to restore his spiritual power, Luo Minghui, who was in the distance, was slightly surprised that Ling Pengyun possessed such a rare spiritual Spirit Talisman Cave as the Thunderbird Talisman.

"This kid has some good fortuitous opportunity; he actually managed to find such a rare lightning-attribute Spirit Talisman Cave."

He didn't waste any time, Hand Seals, he once again conjured a Flame Fire Annihilation Phoenix away the flames, and attacked Ling Pengyun.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun, who had just refined the medicinal power of the two Spirit Returning Pill and sent them into his Dantian, frowned even more deeply.

"We have no choice but to take this gamble."

He quickly Hand Seals and, relying on ninety percent of the spiritual power within his Dantian, rapidly condensed three ten-zhang-long Azure Sea Sky Sword.

At the same time, he gently patted the Immortal Spirit Crane King that was sitting down, causing it to once again transform into a Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi.

Immediately upon receiving the order, the Immortal Spirit Crane King swiftly unleashed the Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi, closely following the three Azure Sea Sky Sword unleashed by Ling Pengyun, to meet the oncoming fifteen-zhang-long giant Fire Phoenix.

The three Azure Sea Sky Sword were faster and struck the Fire Phoenix's body first, dispersing more than 60% of its Fire Phoenix.

The Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi followed closely behind, sweeping the Fire Phoenix, which had shrunk to only six zhang in size, into the center of the tornado.

More than two hundred feathered arrows from within the tornado bombarded the body of the Fire Phoenix continuously.

The Fire Phoenix did not sit idly by and wait for its death. With a cry, it spewed out a large amount of flames, directly creating a small gap in the feathered arrow tornado.

The Fire Phoenix also forced its way out of the small opening created by the arrow tornado and headed straight for Ling Pengyun.

However, in order to break through the feathered arrow tornado, the Fire Phoenix's body shrank by nearly half again, leaving it only about four zhang in size.

At that moment, Ling Pengyun patted the Storage Bag at his waist, took out the only Second Rank Low Grade defensive Law Artifact, the Mixed Rock Shield Hand Seals, and then cast two Primal Water Technique in succession, creating a total of three defensive light screens to protect his body.

The Immortal Spirit Crane King he sat on also used his Inner Core Divine Power to create a Protective Yuan Qi that enveloped his body.

As the four defensive light barriers were erected, the four-zhang-long Fire Phoenix also struck the outermost Primal Water Light Screen.

Although the Fire Phoenix had little energy left, Fire Phoenix power was still considerable.

In just three breaths, it shattered the two Primal Water Light Screen that Ling Pengyun had erected with Law Technique.

Finally, it struck the light barrier erected by the chaotic rock magic shield, creating a huge Ripples Marketplace and causing small cracks to appear on the light barrier.

After this attack, the remaining power of the Fire Phoenix was finally exhausted and dissipated on its own.

Just as Luo Minghui was about to unleash his Innate Spell, Flame Fire Annihilation Phoenix, to kill Ling Pengyun in one fell swoop, a powerful male voice came from afar.

"Clan Head Luo, Ling Pengyun is the daughter-in-law of Old Ancestor Wu, the Spirit Talisman True Person of my Hundred Spirits Sect. If you do not stop now, do not blame me for disregarding our past camaraderie."

As soon as the voice was spoken, both Ling Pengyun and Luo Minghui looked toward the place from which it came.

About ten miles away.

A burly cultivator, as strong as a bear and dressed in the robes of the Hundred Spirits Sect, was rapidly approaching in a Second Rank High Grade flying boat.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Hundred Spirits Sect who arrived was none other than Zhang Yan, the deputy Hall Master of the Hundred Spirits Sect's Hall of Affairs, whom Ling Pengyun had previously sought help from.

Upon seeing Zhang Yan, Ling Pengyun let out a long sigh, and a hint of joy even appeared on his face.

On the other hand, Luo Minghui's face turned extremely dark, and he was very depressed.

He was confident that he could condense a Flame Fire Annihilation Phoenix before Zhang Yan arrived, breaking through the Dao Techniques barrier around Ling Pengyun and the Protective Yuan Qi of the Immortal Spirit Crane King.

He killed Ling Pengyun and even the Immortal Spirit Crane King together.

Luo Minghui also knew that Zhang Yan, who had come, was from the same faction as Spirit Talisman True Person.

After all, before he established the Luo Clan, he was a disciple of the Hundred Spirits Sect and had dealt with Zhang Yan several times.

As for why he dared to attack Ling Pengyun even though he knew the truth, it was because he thought that Ling Pengyun was, after Spirit Talisman True Person, only Yang Siling's cousin, not her biological brother.

Furthermore, this place was specially chosen by him to ambush and kill Ling Pengyun. No one in the vicinity could witness it. As long as Ling Pengyun was killed silently, who would know?

But Zhang Yan arrived just in time...

Based on his understanding of Zhang Yan, if he were to actually kill Ling Pengyun in front of Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan would most likely hesitate to attack him because Ling Pengyun's cousin was Yang Siling, the daughter-in-law of Spirit Talisman True Person.

Zhang Yan's cultivation level is at the Foundation Establishment Completion, and he is also a powerful Body Cultivator.

No one but Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator like him could possibly defeat him.

Faced with the imminent danger to his own life, Luo Minghui had no choice but to stop his Hand Seals and unleash the Flame Fire Annihilation Phoenix.

However, he glared at Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun, clearly harboring a grudge against him.

Seeing Luo Minghui stop, Ling Pengyun's face lit up with even more joy.

Because he was worried that Luo Minghui was only pretending to stop, he ordered the little Immortal Spirit Crane King further away as a precaution.

About ten breaths later, Ling Pengyun's savior, Zhang Yan, arrived at Ling Pengyun's side.

Zhang Yan also mobilized his Divine Sense to scan Ling Pengyun's body. Seeing that Ling Pengyun was unharmed, he was relieved.

He was stationed in Tu Yuan Market Town, which was only two thousand miles away from here. If Ling Pengyun died here, his cousin Spirit Talisman True Person's daughter-in-law Yang Siling, would definitely have a problem with him.

Given Yang Siling's status as the mother of Spirit Talisman True Person's precious grandson with the talent of the Wind Spirit Root, it would be extremely easy for her to trip him up.

It's not impossible that he could be directly transferred from his position as deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Affairs and demoted to a regular elder of the Hall of Affairs.

After all, his ability to reach the Foundation Establishment Completion Realm and even become the Deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Affairs was all due to the high regard that Spirit Talisman True Person had for him.

Without Spirit Talisman True Person, he would never be where he is today.

For Spirit Talisman True Person, finding a loyal person to train is entirely possible.

Improving one's cultivation level through Body Cultivator is much more difficult than improving one's cultivation level as an ordinary cultivator.

If he were to be transferred away from the most important and lucrative position of deputy Hall Master among the many halls of the Hundred Spirits Sect, he would have no hope of accumulating enough Spirit Stone to purchase second-rate Golden Core Spirit Object in an attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

More than twenty years ago, when Lingfu Zhenren was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, he made a lot of money by taking advantage of his position as the head of Lingfu Hall of Bailing Sect. With the many spirit stones left by his ancestors, he bought a second-class Golden Core spiritual item and successfully broke through to the Golden Core stage.

Zhang Yan was precisely planning to replicate Spirit Talisman True Person's actions, which is why he was so loyal to Spirit Talisman True Person. Even Ling Pengyun, a relative of Spirit Talisman True Person's daughter-in-law Yang Siling, was considering joining his Golden Core project.

As his thoughts returned, Zhang Yan looked towards Luo Minghui, who had never left, a hundred feet away. His eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

"Luo Daoist Friend, you have your grudges, and I have my considerations. Let's not make things too ugly for either of us."

"But if you dare to lay a hand on young friend Ling within the territory of Yuan Province, which I am stationed in, I will definitely seek revenge against your Luo Clan."

Upon hearing this, Luo Minghui, who was a hundred feet away, trembled and clenched his fists.

But in the end, he still didn't make a move.

He silently lowered his chariot, which was not on a boat, toward the ground, intending to take away his son Luo Qiuming's body.

But Zhang Yan, seeing this scene, shouted.

"Luo Daoist Friend, you can take that pile of flesh and blood with you, but if you take any spiritual item with you, you won't be able to leave."

Upon hearing this, Luo Minghui, no matter how tolerant he was, could not bear such humiliation.

Those were his son's belongings, yet he couldn't take them with him.

"Daoist Zhang, you've gone too far. Although my cultivation is not as high as yours, I still have many friends in the Spirit Array Hall of the Hundred Spirits Sect," Luo Minghui said, putting pressure on him.

"What does this have to do with me? Do you think your friends will help you? Heh, either take that pile of flesh and blood and leave, or leave on your own. Don't stay here and get in my way." Zhang Yan, with his Foundation Establishment Completion cultivation, pressed down on Luo Minghui and said domineeringly.

He wasn't afraid of a Second Grade Middle Rank Array Formation.

If it were a Second Rank High Grade Array Formation Master, he would probably be somewhat wary of such a threat.

Luo Minghui felt the powerful pressure emanating from him, and could only suppress his anger to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Helpless, he could only gather up the remains of his son, Luo Qiuming, and leave the place.

As Luo Minghui's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Zhang Yan gave Ling Pengyun a word of advice.

"Young friend Ling, I managed to drive Luo Minghui Luo Minghui this time, but judging from the way I left, he's not going to let this go so easily."

"In the future, when you are stationed at the Rock Scale Snake Den, try to go out as little as possible, lest Luo Minghui risk killing you."

"If this really happens, even if I and your Lineage avenge you, it won't be worth it, after all, you only have one life."

Ling Pengyun nodded slightly and thanked him, saying, "Understood, Senior Zhang. Thank you very much for coming in time. I will always remember this kindness."

"It's alright. Just be careful while you're stationed at the Rock Scale Snake Den."

"Go and tidy up the belongings on that Foundation Establishment Cultivator's corpse on the ground. Once you've collected them, I can send you back to the Rock Scale Snake Den," Zhang Yan said, waving his hand.

Ling Pengyun understood that Zhang Yan intended to escort him because he was afraid that Luo Minghui, who had left, would return.

However, he also understood that Zhang Yan's ability to arrive so quickly was thanks to his cousin Yang Siling.

Lost in thought for a moment, Ling Pengyun also mounted the Immortal Spirit Crane King and quickly landed on the ground to pick up two Storage Bag and a Beast Taming Pouch.

In addition, there were the twelve Lifebound Array Flag eroded by yellow sand that fell to the ground without spiritual power support, the Second Grade Middle Rank Yellow Sand Bronze Bell, and the Second Rank High Grade Purple Star Long Awl, which were three Law Artifact.
