"What a fine spirit banner!"
Chen Shuangbai had expected this person to be extremely wary, but to her surprise, he praised him immediately.
The spirit seed was launched again, and dozens of deep green spiritual lights containing rich vitality reappeared, heading towards Fang Yan. The latter smiled slightly, and the invisible veil in front of him reappeared, causing the deep green spiritual lights to be contained. With another wave of his sleeve, the spiritual lights disappeared silently towards Fang Yan.
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering if it was a special Spirit Artifact involving the mysteries of spatial manipulation... or perhaps... Law Treasure?
But this shouldn't be happening, right?
Only those Golden Core True Person can use Law Treasure.
Because only Golden Core True Person... has the power to satisfy the Law Power consumption of Law Treasure.
Fang Yan, a mere Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, even if his strength rivaled that of Foundation Establishment Late Stage... wouldn't be able to use Law Treasure so easily.
Chen Shuangbai waved her left hand.
A white arc of electricity, wrapped in ice crystals, struck Fang Yan.
This time... the curtain in front of Fang Yan did not reappear. Instead, he raised his hand and waved it, revealing six Spirit Artifact that looked like coffin nails. He looked at Chen Shuangbai and gently tossed them into his hand.
"Go!"
The six coffin-nail-like Spirit Artifact scattered in all directions, transforming into streaks of dark light that attacked Chen Shuangbai from all sides with incredible speed and extremely tricky angles.
Chen Shuangbai did not stop her attack. Instead, Zong Guang pressed down again. With a slight tremor of the [ Foot-Long Silk ], sixteen frost-green sword shadows flickered and split off. With a few crisp clangs, the six coffin-nail-like Spirit Artifact were slashed by several swords in a few breaths.
Fang Yan felt a slight pain in his heart; the damage to the Spirit Artifact had backfired.
"One sword splits into sixteen... plus Sword Essence... Chen Shuangbai, you truly are an unparalleled genius of the Jing Kingdom!"
After annihilating the coffin nail Spirit Artifact, the sixteen frost-green sword shadows, like serpents and dragons, transformed into sixteen streaks of light and lashed out at Fang Yan. At the same time, a white arc of lightning, carrying a chilling aura, followed closely behind.
Fang Yan couldn't allow Chen Shuangbai to get close again, because he wasn't confident he could withstand another [ Lesser Yin Spirit-Slashing Saber ].
but...
He was clearly no pushover either.
The demonic patterns on the ghost banner beside him emitted a shrill howl, and two beams of green light emerged from them. However, they had no substance; instead, they meandered like dragons and snakes, displaying a ferocious appearance.
The two green, menacing shadows surrounded Fang Yan. Several clanging sounds were heard as [ Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder ] exploded on his body. Sixteen sword shadows also crashed into it, penetrating deep into it, but instead of being severed, they seemed to sink into a quagmire, only able to make a helpless buzzing sound.
Chen Shuangbai then realized that they were two snake shadows.
"The soul of Foundation Establishment Serpent Demon..."
The methods of extracting and refining souls are well-practiced by both demonic and unorthodox sects. However, in fact, many righteous sects also involve such methods, but they are not as cruel and tend to conceal them to make them appear more palatable.
He took a closer look and discovered that both snake spirits were originally Foundation Establishment snake demons. Even though their demon souls had been extracted and refined into special things, they were still extremely difficult to control.
The two Foundation Establishment snake demon souls were still serving as demon servants, but Fang Yan showed no sign of reluctance, indicating that his foundation was quite profound.
Chen Shuangbai chuckled for no apparent reason, leaving Fang Yan completely baffled.
"Why are you laughing?"
Fang Yan asked.
A clear smile played on Chen Shuangbai's lips. Her frost-like eyes, now gleaming with a bright, jade-like light, gazed at Fang Yan and said with a laugh, "Don't you find this funny?"
"You used to be invincible, but now, no matter what you did, you couldn't defeat me. Instead, I destroyed you in just a few breaths."
"I counter one of your tactics, and you counter with another... This reminds me of playing chess."
Fang Yan was taken aback.
It's better not to think about it, because once you start, it really is...
There was originally no wind in this blessed land, but as Chen Shuangbai finished speaking, the wind gradually picked up. Within a few breaths, an invisible wind came from all directions, making the clothes of the two people flutter.
Fang Yan knew that Chen Shuangbai was behind this.
His expression also darkened.
He understood that he might not be able to kill the person before him today, but his heart was filled with pride... therefore...
"Go!"
The two Foundation Establishment snake demons immediately broke free, opened their blood-red maws, and a foul stench could be heard from afar as they lunged at Chen Shuangbai, only to be intercepted in mid-air by a white shadow that flew out from Chen Shuangbai's body.
It was a magnificent, snow-white eagle, its entire body covered in white steel feathers with faint golden edges. Its pupils were like hooks, and its two sharp claws seemed to be forged from metal. It swung one claw at each of the two Foundation Establishment snake demons' souls.
Two mournful howls rang out. The two Foundation Establishment snake demons' souls were nearly severed at the waist. Gone was their previous arrogance. They fled at top speed, and Feiguang chased after them. He easily caught up with one of them, grabbed it, and pecked it hard with his beak, swallowing its soul essence bit by bit.
Fang Yan was taken aback.
"You... you actually had a Snow-Plumed Eagle at the Foundation Establishment level hidden away?"
Chen Shuangbai remained silent.
The wind howled like a demon, and the surrounding white clouds gradually turned into dark clouds, spiraling layer upon layer, trapping the two inside.
White arcs of electricity danced like white pythons among the dark clouds, the surrounding temperature began to drop sharply, frost flowers began to fall, and icicles bloomed one after another, instantly surrounding the two of them.
The remaining Foundation Establishment Serpent Demon Soul escaped back, disappearing into the ghost banner in one gulp. No matter how Fang Yan called out to it, it dared not come out again.
That's not its fault.
The reason is simply that the Snow-Plumed Eagle is a natural enemy of snake demons.
At this moment, the wind and clouds surged, dark clouds gathered, frost and ice filled the air, and the temperature plummeted. Fang Yan's face finally turned completely gloomy.
Because he truly had a premonition that he might perish here.
"Excellent tactic!"
Fang Yan gritted his teeth, his voice chillingly cold. He stared intently at Chen Shuangbai, whose figure was shrouded in snow and barely visible. "I underestimated you! Chen Shuangbai of the Jade Spring Sect, you truly live up to your reputation!"
He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging resentment, and a mysterious aura began to brew from his body, with a surge of demonic energy that was very profound.
But all of this was in vain!
A light and shadow suddenly appeared between Chen Shuangbai, like a miniature moon disc, but it was completely black, with only the edges showing light, making it extremely eerie and filled with a very deep sense of malevolence.
"Go!"
