Painted-Brow Sword! Mind-Seizing Mirror!

Five True Person clash in a chaotic battle.

Such a scene was truly grand and terrifying.

Han Ji wielded the White Bone Six-Yang Hammer with lightning speed, relentlessly striking down. The True Person Five Fires, after all, Core Formation; though it seemed difficult to withstand, he could easily hold out for half a day.

"Don't get entangled!"

Han Ji felt a surge of resentment, but forced himself to calm down.

Drink!

The White Bone Six-Yang Hammer slammed down fiercely on the True Person Five Fires, forcing him to repeatedly wave the Five-Fire Scarlet Aura Banner to defend himself. Amidst the Scattered Adept Blazing Fire, Han Ji leaped backward through the air, extending a palm like White Bone claw, which plunged into the Scattered Adept Blazing Fire array and slammed down hard on the head of Kumbhanda.

"Han Ji!!"

Kumbhanda was furious.

The Azure-Eyed Heavenly Net Fan flapped repeatedly, entangling the heavenly net. The White Bone claws, neither flesh nor spirit, were utterly fearless. Through the heavenly net, Heaven-Shattering Five Lust Threads, they descended fiercely upon Kumbhanda.

"This is outrageous!"

With Kumbhanda, the alluring face contorted into a ferocious expression, instantly transforming into a bird's head, screeching sharply as it fiercely pecked at the White Bone claws.

Boom!

Two phases collide.

Kumbhanda remained motionless, her bird head transforming back into her alluring face. The White Bone claw retreated as if struck by lightning, but it broke open a gap in the formation. Seeing the opportunity, the Hall Master Wusheng flashed and leaped out.

"Walk!"

Han Ji didn't even glance at Kumbhanda or Lu Qingfeng; his face was icy cold as he vanished into thin air.

The Hall Master Wusheng looked at Lu Qingfeng with his Black and White eyes and said in a sinister voice, "Scattered Adept Blazing Fire Daoist Liehuo, I will definitely pay you a visit another day!"

After speaking...

He followed Han Ji closely.

After the two demons retreated, Kumbhanda was furious and wanted to continue fighting Lu Qingfeng until the battle ended.

At this moment.

A flash of cold light appeared from beyond the sky, Sword Qi crisscrossing, making one's hair stand on end.

Kumbhanda's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed—

"The Painted-Brow Sword!"

Not daring to linger, it leaped into the air, transforming into its true form as Rouge Bird, and vanished into the void.

"Um?"

Lu Qingfeng looked on in surprise at the spot where the sword light had risen and fallen.

Boom!

A thunderous roar followed the sword light, then came the mournful cry of the Hall Master Wusheng, and Han Ji's chilling voice, "Weng Shaoqing, I will avenge this sword wound one day!"

The words fell.

The two Devil Qi faded away and disappeared.

Far away.

A flash of Sword Qi appeared as a refined man with graying temples walked through the air, sword in hand. The Sword Qi Sky-Piercing initially fierce and chilling, but in the blink of an eye, it dissipated, making him appear as an ordinary person.

"Master of Demon-Subduing Peak, Weng Shaoqing!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lu Qingfeng glanced at him and, like Lu Qingfeng, dared not linger.

With a thought, the Zhurong Demon God in the air opened its mouth, swallowing the twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners into its belly, which then crashed into Lu Qingfeng and merged into his body. Lu Qingfeng's figure swayed, and he stepped on wind and thunder to leave the Fire Spirit Shell Grounds.

Weng Shaoqing strolled leisurely and landed in the Fire Spirit Shell Grounds.

He stood there calmly.

A gentleman of noble character is like jade being cut and polished, like stone being carved and refined.

This is the kind of person I'm talking about.

The True Person Five Fires, his long hair disheveled and looking slightly disheveled, landed in front of Weng Shaoqing and respectfully said, "Greetings, Master!"

"Um."

Looking at Lu Qingfeng's departing figure, Weng Shaoqing asked in a gentle voice, "Who was that person?"

True Person Five Fires stared in the direction Lu Qingfeng had left, his face showing doubt, but he still said—

"Illusory Wave Sea, Rogue Person Blazing Fire".

Heavenward Abyss.

Han Ji and Cha Shan sat facing each other.

On the Cha Shan's back, a sword wound cut from top to bottom, slicing through flesh and revealing stark White Bone. Yet, not a drop of blood flowed; the White Bone appeared and disappeared in a daze.

This is precisely the wonder of the White Bone Demon Sect's secret technique, the "White Bone Profound Art," which allows for transformation between reality and illusion, greatly increasing defensive power. It is divided into internal and external cultivation methods. The internal method refines the body, transforming the physical form into an indestructible White Bone, making the individual the body of the White Bone Demon White Bone Demon God. The external method refines the White Bone Demon God, concentrating all Divine Ability into a single White Bone Demon God, providing unparalleled protection.

On that day, both Supreme Elders of the Mystic Origin Sect were severely injured and defeated, while the two True Persons of the White Bone Demon Sect were able to escape unscathed because they used the external cultivation method and sacrificed the White Bone Demon God to save their lives.

Although he has lost most of his Divine Ability, it is not impossible for him to find a superior body and refine it with care, and become the White Bone Demon God again.

Cha Shan practices internal cultivation.

Lianji, being a demon god, was struck by Weng Shaoqing's sword. Although the blow appeared fierce and the wound terrifying, it did not fundamentally damage him. With careful recuperation over several months, he could fully recover.

Han Ji looked at Cha Shan and frowned when he saw that Cha Shan's aura was stable. "Weng Shaoqing's Sword Qi is becoming more and more terrifying."

Cha Shan finished channeling his energy, ignoring the sword wound on his back that was difficult to heal, and said in a gloomy voice, "Among the Mystic Origin Sect, the Painted-Brow Sword is the most famous. If it weren't for being trapped by emotions, he would probably have already broken through to the Spell Gathering Realm and become a force to be reckoned with in the Three Realms."

"Snort!"

"Love for one's children can cloud one's judgment, ultimately limiting one's achievements. One may be arrogant for a time, but sooner or later one will learn his lesson!"

Han Ji was extremely displeased and unwilling to mention Weng Shaoqing any further, so he changed the subject and asked, "Just who exactly is this Rogue Person Blazing Fire?"

This battle.

The Rogue Person Blazing Fire and Kumbhanda disrupted the situation, causing Liehuo Sanren to fail at the last moment, and the Lifeless Hall cultivators were completely wiped out.

The losses were devastating!

"I am also wondering about this."

"He had previously gone to the Illusory Wave Sea to invite him, and he made it clear that he did not want to get involved in the two wars and wanted to stay out of it. But he secretly followed us and even fought with Kumbhanda."

"Their motives and intentions are really hard to fathom."

Cha Shan shook his head.

If the Rogue Person Blazing Fire had come to help the Mystic Origin Sect, he could have simply attacked directly. With the Mystic Origin Sect's protection, he wouldn't have needed to fear the White Bone Demon Sect. But instead, he didn't make a move and instead engaged in a fierce battle with Kumbhanda of Heavenly Wander Mountain.

Even Cha Shan couldn't fathom the deeper meaning behind it.

"Perhaps they are worried about offending the Mystic Origin Sect, wanting to avoid offending either side while also profiting from the situation," Cha Shan guessed.

"A fence-sitter?"

A look of disdain flashed across Han Ji's face as he muttered, "Ignore him. The old hag from Heavenly Wander Mountain is here this time too. It seems that the massacre in my White Bone Realm a few days ago is definitely related to Heavenly Wander Mountain. I wonder what evil intentions they are hiding this time. The Rogue Person Blazing Fire's actions have really angered the old hag quite a bit."

"Good."

"Among the three great demon kings of Heavenly Wander Mountain, Kumbhanda is the weakest and also the most cunning. This time, she was caught in a fight by the Rogue Person Blazing Fire. The two wicked guys ended up fighting each other. It was a happy accident."

A sinister smile appeared on Cha Shan's face.

If Kumbhanda were here, he would probably bleed from anger.

Han Ji's face was grim as he looked south. "This defeat, however, revealed Weng Shaoqing's strength. This boy is so powerful that only two Heavenly Kings could subdue him. Furthermore, the Rogue Person Blazing Fire of the Illusory Wave Sea is quite strong, able to fight Kumbhanda to a standstill. He should have a place among the Three Realms. Hall Master Chashan has recovered from his injuries, I will trouble you to make another trip to the Illusory Wave Sea and do my best to bring this person into our White Bone Demon Sect!"

"Um."

Cha Shan's eyes flickered, and he slowly nodded.

The Illusory Wave Sea.

Blazing Fire Isle.

"I never expected the leader of Demon-Subduing Peak to be so powerful."

Lu Qingfeng strode into the cave abode on the island.

He sat cross-legged in his cave abode.

Only then did I recall the final scene.

A single sword light flashed in the sky, startling Kumbhanda into fleeing. When the sword light fell, it seemed the Hall Master Wusheng had suffered a hidden loss, prompting Han Ji to utter harsh words.

Truly extraordinary.

Such deterrent power and strength are probably top-tier even among those in the Solid Core Realm, surpassing even Kumbhanda and Han Ji.

"Those who are most passionate are also most skilled in the sword; a person who is devoted to their entire life."

"The Painted-Brow Sword".

Lu Qingfeng was filled with amazement as the legends about this chieftain flashed through his mind.

I stopped thinking about it.

He reached out and beckoned.

The Dutian Dark Nether Strategies landed in his hand.

The mind probes into it.

Inside the space, thousands of souls stood bewildered, these were the newly acquired souls of the White Bone Demon Sect cultivators. Each one was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there were even 104 Spirit Void souls among them.

"Good!"

Lu Qingfeng immediately smiled.

Thus, the remaining seven hundred or so Dark Nether Yin Soldiers were gathered.

Among the Foundation Establishment Souls, they selected from the highest to the lowest, directly gathering 10,800 Dark Nether Yin Soldiers. As for their strength, the levels were somewhat uneven.

"Raising them all to the Foundation Establishment Peak would consume too much energy."

"There's no rush, let's cultivate slowly."

Lu Qingfeng glanced at the extremely thin Dutian Qi in the space, then at the bottomless water in the Dutian Creation Pool, shook his head, and withdrew.

Then he took out a thousand Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and threw them in.

The Dutian Creation Pool roared into operation, obliterating it and creating the Dutian Qi.

"This battle cost approximately five hundred Spirit Stones."

Lu Qingfeng pursed his lips.

Fighting a powerful figure like Kumbhanda allows no room for carelessness. Every move is a huge drain on one's energy. Not to mention that the Zhurong Demon God is activating the twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners to establish the Dutian Blazing Fire Immortal Formation, which is essentially drawing power from the Ghost Generals and Yin Soldiers in an endless stream. The Yin Soldiers and Ghost General use their Cultivation Method to refine the Dutian Qi and quickly recover.

This is equivalent to thirty-six Spirit Void Peak cultivators and three hundred and sixty-five Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators providing power while simultaneously restoring their own. This restoration comes from absorbing the Dutian Qi. The Dutian Qi is produced by refining Spirit Stones in the Dutian Creation Pool.

The battle lasted no more than a quarter of an hour.

It consumed over 500 Spirit Stones.

That's terrifying.

Keep in mind that one Spirit Stone is enough for the Foundation Establishment Qi Guiding Realm cultivator to cultivate for three months. Five hundred Spirit Stones would amount to one hundred and twenty-five years!

It's even enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has just entered the Qi Guiding Realm to cultivate from the Qi Guiding Realm to the Liquid Condensation Realm or even higher.

"This great battle with Kumbhanda has made our name known far and wide. In the future, even Void Core cultivators like Hall Master Wusheng will not dare to attack us, and True Core True Person like Han Ji and Kumbhanda will have to think twice before acting."

"It can save countless battles."

There are gains and losses.

Five hundred Spirit Stones can produce such an effect, which is not bad.

After putting away the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, Lu Qingfeng took out another item from his Storage Bag.

It was the bronze mirror that was taken from Kumbhanda.

[Law Artifact: Mind-Seizing Mirror]

[Grade: Fifth Tier]

[Explanation: This is a secret treasure from ten thousand years ago, obtained by Kumbhanda through a fortuitous fortuitous opportunity. It can capture a person's true form. After capturing a person's form through State of Mind, the person feels nothing at the time. Furthermore, the duration of the ritual is determined by the mind; one can perform the ritual whenever one thinks of the captured person, even years later. In any case, the captured person has already fallen into the trap; the moment the thought arises, they are harmed. The longer the ritual is performed, the more powerful it becomes. It is truly insidious, treacherous, and leaves no trace.]

"This treasure—"

Lu Qingfeng gripped the Mind-Seizing Mirror, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Among the three demon kings of Heavenly Wander Mountain, the third king Kumbhanda, had the lowest cultivation level, but he was skilled in Innate Divine Numerology and could predict the future. He had foreseen this event at the Fire Spirit Shell Grounds and waited patiently. When Han Ji was fighting with the True Person Five Fires, he quickly used the Mind-Seizing Mirror to capture the true form of the True Person Five Fires.

In this way.

While the battle raged on, the Mind-Seizing Mirror was activated. Even though its power was limited due to the short duration of its use, it could still briefly disrupt the True Person Five Fires' minds, causing them to lose their composure and become disoriented.

In a battle against a master like Han Ji, a moment of distraction could be fatal.

At that moment Han Ji brought down the White Bone Six-Yang Hammer, which bit the True Person Five Fires whose mind was captivated, causing his physical body to decay and even his Void Core and soul to be swallowed up.

Firstly, the Mystic Origin Sect lost a Void Core True Person, which weakened its strength.

Secondly, a new feud has been created between the Mystic Origin Sect and the White Bone Demon Sect, making it irreconcilable.

Heavenly Wander Mountain can then seize the opportunity to join the battle.

The idea is excellent, and the strategy is superb.

Once the mission is accomplished, the True Person Five Fires will certainly not escape calamity. The blame for killing the True Person Five Fires will fall on Han Ji, and will have nothing to do with her, Kumbhanda.

It is truly a treasure for those who plot against others.

"Luckily it fell into my hands. If it had remained in the hands of the Kumbhanda,' who knows how many lives would have been lost and how much trouble would have been caused." Lu Qingfeng felt fortunate.

The grinding Mind-Seizing Mirror, vanished with a flip of the hand.

Inside Lu Qingfeng's body.

The Jumang Demon God opened his mouth and swallowed the Mind-Seizing Mirror whole, then closed his eyes to refine it. Although this mirror had many limitations, its advantage lay in its ability to ambush people in secret, leaving no trace and making it impossible to defend against. If one's cultivation was insufficient or one's Daoist practice inadequate, once the mirror captured one's true form and activated its magic, one would immediately perish.

It is only detrimental to one's virtue.

It should not be used indiscriminately.
