Battle of Golden Cores

Du Tianhua's eyes trembled slightly when he saw Qingyan Daogu suddenly fly out of the formation.

The intelligence that Song Wen provided to the Du Clan did not mention Qingyan Daoist.

Du Tianhua always believed that the only enemy he needed to face was Su Gan.

Seeing Qingyan appear forced him to reassess the situation, and he hurriedly retreated, trying to increase the distance between himself and Qingyan.

He didn't know Qingyan Daoist, but he could sense the powerful aura of Law Power emanating from her; she was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask who you are and why you are here at the Su Clan?" Du Tianhua's tone was full of caution.

Seeing Du Tianhua retreat, Qingyan Daoist nun assumed he was trying to escape and grinned.

"Trying to escape? Too late!"

Before she finished speaking, a long sword with a mirror-like blade and a chilling gleam appeared before Qingyan Daoist.

The Qingyan gently pointed her long, slender fingers at the long sword.

Instantly, a fierce and murderous aura surged from the blade.

The long sword unleashed a beam of light several meters high, slashing towards Du Tianhua with the force of splitting mountains and cleaving rivers.

Faced with this thunderous attack, Du Tianhua did not hesitate at all and immediately activated his dark red flying sword.

The sword, swirling with sharp Sword Qi, lashed out at the longsword like a nimble serpent.

Although he knew he was no match for Qingyan Daoist, he had no choice but to give it his all in this life-or-death moment.

"When!"

Swords clashed!

The flying sword was no match for the opponent and flew back.

The longsword's power had also diminished significantly, making it difficult to pose a threat to Du Tianhua anymore.

The Qingyan made a hand Method Formula, and the darkened blade light on the longsword reappeared.

Du Tianhua threw out a small silver shield, then turned and fled.

The small silver shield shrank to the size of a door and crashed into the longsword.

"Bang!"

The shield was cleaved in two by the longsword.

The Qingyan wielded her long sword and slashed at the fleeing Du Tianhua once more.

Sensing the terrifying blade energy behind him, Du Tianhua cursed inwardly, "Crazy woman."

The shield that had just been shattered was a mid-grade Spirit Artifact, the strongest defensive Spirit Artifact he possessed, yet it couldn't even withstand a single attack from the opponent.

A ruthless glint flashed in Du Tianhua's eyes, and a white sphere the size of an egg appeared in his hand.

With a firm grip, the sphere instantly cracked open, releasing countless wisps of mist that instantly enveloped a radius of about a mile, turning it into a vast expanse of white.

This fog was unusually strange; after covering an area of about a mile, it stopped spreading.

Even a gentle breeze couldn't stir up the fog.

The longsword slashed into the white mist, and a tremendous force swept over it, causing the white mist to surge wildly, but it did not spread outwards.

A look of surprise flashed in Qingyan Daoist's eyes; she could no longer sense Du Tianhua with her Divine Sense.

"Spirit-Hiding Mist!"

Spirit-Hiding Mist is a type of mist that can block Divine Sense from detecting things. Within the mist's range, a cultivator's Divine Sense will be greatly interfered with, making it impossible to detect anything within the mist.

The fact that Du Tianhua's figure was shrouded in the Spirit-Hiding Mist meant that Qingyan Daogu had no way of detecting his exact location, and therefore could no longer use her sword to attack him.

The Qingyan stared at the mist, pondered for a moment, and found that she couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

She made another hand Method Formula, and the blade's light reappeared on the longsword, swiftly slashing into the mist with lightning speed.

The mist was only about a mile long, and the long sword hidden within it suddenly emerged from the other side of the mist.

The longsword was turned around and plunged back into the mist.

After making dozens of cuts, Qingyan Daoist found that apart from the energy generated by the blades slightly dispersing the mist, she had made no other progress.

To truly dispel the fog, she would have to make at least a thousand cuts.

With a flick of his wrist, the longsword appeared in his hand.

High skill breeds boldness.

Qingyan, the Daoist nun, carrying a long sword, stepped into the mist.

The battle between Qingyan and Du Tianhua naturally attracted the attention of both sides on Clearpeace Mountain.

Du Ruoyun's face turned somewhat ugly, and she shouted loudly.

"All Du Clan cultivators, immediately depart from Clearpeace Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the Du Clan cultivators scattered throughout Clearpeace Mountain immediately avoided the direction of Daoist Qingyan and fled into the distance.

The members of the Su Clan, who had been hiding within the protective array and dared not show themselves, all beamed with joy.

Su Anping hurriedly shouted, "Activate the formation!"

A moment later, the earth-based protective mountain formation was deactivated.

Su Anping led more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Su Clan and charged towards Du Ruoyun.

To catch the thief, first catch the king.

Du Ruoyun is the first person in the Du Clan to Foundation Establishment, and is also the head of the Du Clan family. Only by taking her down can we deal the greatest blow to the Du Clan.

Du Ruoyun was not alone. Apart from four Su Clan cultivators who were relatively far away and each chose to escape in their own direction, the other ten Du Clan cultivators gathered around her.

She led her people and quickly fled.

The two Du Clan cultivators, whose escape speed was slow, were caught up by Su Anping, the fastest escape artist in the Su Clan, and were killed on the spot.

Du Ruoyun wanted to save them, but the Su Clan was numerous and powerful, and she was powerless to do anything but watch as her two clansmen were killed.

After leading his men to pursue for dozens of miles, Su Anping, fearing further complications at Clearpeace Mountain, had no choice but to abandon the pursuit and return to Clearpeace Mountain.

After Qingyan Daoist entered the Spirit-Hiding Mist with her sword, all she could see was a white blur, and her Divine Sense was severely suppressed, allowing her to detect almost everything within a ten-meter radius.

Suddenly, the fog directly in front of her surged violently, Qingyan Daoist nun swung her sword and slashed at it.

A blade of energy, ten feet long, shot out from the blade and slashed into the surging mist.

However, the blade's energy missed its target.

Suddenly, the fog behind them surged up again.

The Qingyan turned around and unleashed another ten-foot-long blade of energy. But again, it missed its target.

Fog surged up from below, above, left... in all directions.

After unleashing dozens of sword strikes in succession, Qingyan Daoist nun gradually realized that something was amiss.

The other party clearly had a way to roughly pinpoint her location within the Spirit-Hiding Mist, while she herself had no way of finding Du Tianhua's location.

Staying in the Spirit-Hiding Mist would be very disadvantageous for her.

She used her movement Movement Method to fly straight ahead, wanting to escape the fog as soon as possible.

Just then, the fog on the left surged violently once more.

Qingyan Daoist didn't pay much attention. After casually unleashing a slash of sword energy, she continued flying forward without slowing down.

However, this time it was no longer a bluff.

A dark red flying sword slashed out from the mist, narrowly missing the blade energy unleashed by Qingyan, and aimed at her left shoulder.

Qingyan Daoist nun's eyes widened in surprise, and she thought to herself, 'This is bad!'

He quickly turned to the side, wielding his long sword to slash at the flying sword.

In the rush, the somewhat careless Qingyan did not unleash much of her power.

"When!"

Swords clashed!

The Qingyan retreated repeatedly, nearly dropping her long sword.

The Sword Qi emanating from the blade invaded her right hand, which was holding the knife, instantly turning her entire right hand into a bloody mess.

Qingyan Daoist hurriedly activated her internal Law Power to shatter the remaining Sword Qi raging in her right hand.

Seeing that the wound on her right forearm was so deep that the bone was visible, Qingyan Daoist was filled with fear and dared not linger any longer. She hurriedly channeled all her Law Power and flew rapidly out of the mist.
