The Burning Saber

Moreover, Song Shuhang's <Vajra Foundation Fist> is quite powerful, so it's only natural that the 'Altar Master's' former subordinate was defeated.

"Phew~" Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief, then secretly revealed a flaw in his plan to lure out the last lurker.

In the shadows, the Sunflower Cultivator sneered. He suddenly sprang up, his burly body as agile as a feline, instantly appearing behind Song Shuhang, gripping a sharp spike in both hands, and viciously stabbing it down at Song Shuhang.

Bite!

The Armor Talisman's defenses lit up again, blocking the Sunflower Cultivator's attack.

"It's out! "Song Shuhang didn't hesitate and kicked backward.

The Sunflower Cultivator, having missed his attack, looked disappointed and lightly leaped away. Then, he unleashed his Mental Pressure on Song Shuhang, saying in a deep voice, "Surrender! The pressure from the Book Mountain is immense! You have no chance against me."

"Did Gongzi Hai send you?" Song Shuhang asked calmly. At the same time, he looked at the 'Armor Talisman' on his body. Its defensive power was already very weak; it could only withstand one more attack from the Sunflower Cultivator before shattering. As expected of a disciple from a major sect like the 'Limitless Demon Sect,' that stab just now, in terms of attack power alone, was not much weaker than some ordinary Second-Grade Cultivator.

"Heh, think what you want. Don't try to stall for time. I've already had someone hold off that senior who was with you last time. You'd better just lie down!" The Sunflower Cultivator slightly bent over and activated a low-level magic artifact on his body. "Azure Wind Acceleration!"

A faint blue breeze emanated from his body, multiplying his speed.

Immediately afterward, he vanished from his spot, rushing to Song Shuhang's side in an instant, the sharp spike in his hand aimed at Song Shuhang's abdomen. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I still need to protect your life..."

The speed was too fast; Song Shuhang had no way to dodge it.

When!

The power of the Armor Talisman flared up again, blocking the Sunflower Cultivator's attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Shuhang did a lazy roll, rolling some distance. At the same time, the energy of the 'Armor Talisman' on his body was completely exhausted.

They're too fast; unless you activate the Sword Talisman, you simply can't beat them.

"Doudou!" Song Shuhang shouted. Now was the time for Doudou to show her power.

"Hahaha, I knew you suddenly wanted to take me for a walk this morning, just so I could lend a hand. Don't worry, I'm all ready! I even brought out a knife for you, take it, no need to thank me!" Doudou Secret Voice Transmission, and at the same time, she raised her paw, and a dark long knife flew towards Song Shuhang, landing steadily in his hand.

It was the Overlord Shatter Saber.

Holding the precious sword, Song Shuhang was completely dumbfounded...

What's the point of giving him a knife?

He's only learned the Vajra Foundation Fist, never any swordsmanship! Did Doudou beat that German Shepherd this morning, and he didn't praise it, so it took the opportunity to retaliate?

But at this point, he had no time to think further.

The Sunflower Cultivator reappeared mysteriously, his sharp spikes spinning as he stabbed towards Song Shuhang like an electric drill. If that were to pierce a person's body, it would surely leave a transparent hole.

The effect of the 'Armor Talisman' on him has just worn off, and he hasn't had time to activate the second one to save his life. He absolutely cannot get stabbed!

Song Shuhang quickly raised his sword and slashed fiercely at the Sunflower Cultivator's spikes.

Bite!

The spikes in the Sunflower Cultivator's hand were cut in two by 'Overlord Shatter', and the Saber Force did not diminish as it slashed toward the Sunflower Cultivator's arm.

The Overlord Shatter Saber is the most prized sword technique of a sect, capable of slicing through the flesh of Fourth-Grade Cultivator. The sharp spike in the Sunflower Cultivator's hand was made of ordinary refined steel, so naturally it couldn't withstand its slash.

The Sunflower Cultivator hurriedly retreated, avoiding the blade that was about to slash at his arm.

Then, he stared at the treasured sword in Song Shuhang's hand, his eyes lighting up with greed—how much would his combat power increase if he could obtain this sword?

Wait a minute!!

Where did this knife come from?

It seems that just before his final attack, this precious sword appeared out of thin air and fell into the hands of this "Book Mountain Pressure"?

The Sunflower Cultivator couldn't see Doudou.

But then a thought flashed through his mind—could it be that the 'white' cultivator senior was hiding nearby? Had the members of the 'Neighborhood Office' he had arranged to issue temporary residence permits failed to delay him?

If that white-robed senior cultivator was really nearby, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

"There's no other choice," the Sunflower Cultivator thought to himself. Regardless of whether the 'White' Cultivator was hiding in the shadows, the only way to survive was to capture 'Book Mountain Pressure' first!

A myriad of thoughts, yet they all vanish in an instant.

The Sunflower Cultivator decisively threw away the half-spike in his hand, and simultaneously used grappling techniques with both hands, grabbing at Song Shuhang with one hand and trying to snatch the treasured sword from Song Shuhang's hand with the other.

Not to be outdone, Song Shuhang gripped the 'Overlord Shatter' and unleashed a flurry of slashes at the Sunflower Cultivator. Having never practiced swordsmanship, his strikes were chaotic and disorganized; one slash aimed at the Sunflower Cultivator's upper body, the next might be aimed at his thigh.

The Sunflower Cultivator, wary of the sharpness of the precious sword, dared not confront it head-on and attempt to disarm it with his bare hands, thus failing to subdue Song Shuhang for a time!

At that moment, Doudou, Secret Voice Transmission called out, "Shuhang, don't slash randomly! Use your swordsmanship!"

"I haven't learned any swordsmanship!" Song Shuhang lamented inwardly. If he had, he would have already used it, wouldn't he?

Unable to subdue Song Shuhang for a long time, the Sunflower Cultivator grew anxious: No, we can't let this drag on any longer!

He steeled his resolve and activated the low-level magic weapon once more. "Azure Wind Acceleration!"

There is already a significant difference in speed between the Fifth Aperture and the Second Aperture, and with the addition of 'acceleration', the speed of the Sunflower Cultivator can be so fast that Song Shuhang cannot react!

However, this spell puts a great strain on the body. The physique of Sunflower Cultivator far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level, and can only be used twice in a row at most in a day.

You only have one chance!

The Sunflower Cultivator pushed off with his feet and disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already behind Song Shuhang!

"Take him down!" The Sunflower Cultivator was overjoyed. He grabbed Song Shuhang's hand holding the knife with one hand and reached for Song Shuhang's throat with the other!

[Eye Aperture Talent, Expert's Vision!] The moment the Sunflower Cultivator used 'Acceleration', Song Shuhang activated his Eye Aperture Talent without hesitation.

He clearly saw the Sunflower Cultivator run up behind him. However, although his eyes could see clearly, his body couldn't keep up with his vision.

"What should I do?" Song Shuhang's mind raced.

As the Sunflower Cultivator's palm drew ever closer to him... suddenly, a familiar scene flashed through Song Shuhang's mind.

Burning flames... a slash that Heaven-Burning.

He flipped his wrist, spinning the blade.

The remaining Blood Qi in the Heart Aperture and Eye Aperture erupted.

On his finger, the Ancient Copper Ring shimmered faintly, indicating that one of the arrays had been activated.

Flames roared fiercely on Hong's blade...
