[Expel Evil Break Baleful Intent Sword]
Amidst the ocean of elixirs, murderous intent rises once more!
Although Chang Qing was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the terror of the Asura Dao was clearly demonstrated at this moment.
He noticed that Qi Yun had many methods, but seemed to prefer long-range Law Technique attacks.
He immediately mustered his last bit of primordial killing Sha Qi and suddenly exerted force with his remaining legs!
"Boom!"
A huge crater suddenly exploded in the dantian beneath Chang Qing's feet, and his figure transformed into a dark red blood shadow that distorted space, his speed even three times faster than when he was at his peak!
The Asura phantom behind him, which had been dimmed by the explosion of its arm, reformed and became even more solid.
Amidst the churning Sha Qi, the vague outlines of eight weapons—a knife, a spear, a sword, a halberd, an axe, a battle-axe, a hook, and a fork—faintly materialized.
[Asura Eight Weapons]
A strong wind, like a steel blade, rushed towards them, and its overwhelming ferocity transformed into a vast, all-encompassing black shadow that instantly closed in on Qi Yun!
Eight terrifying beams of light, imbued with the will and power of Chang Qing, carrying a destructive intent that could tear everything apart and slaughter all living beings, descended fiercely from various treacherous angles like eight venomous dragons.
They vowed to chop Qi Yun, that despicable sorcerer, into mincemeat.
Their very Divine Soul were crushed!
"Even with such severe injuries, he can still unleash such strength—" Qi Yun raised his eyes, gazing at the shadow of death that was about to descend upon him, and a hint of admiration flashed across his face without reservation.
"No wonder the old True Person once said that the Asura Method is also known as the Undying Battle Method."
The closer one is to death, the more incredible potential can be squeezed out.
"They're really difficult to deal with."
Before he could finish speaking, facing this deadly attack, Qi Yun didn't choose to confront it head-on with the Soul Refining Banner or the Nether Spring White Bone Method, nor did he use the Gather Form and Disperse Qi to dodge. He simply calmly extended his right hand and gently grabbed at the storage bracelet at his waist—whoosh!
It was like a river bursting its banks, or like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds!
Countless yellow talismans, painted with cinnabar runes, roared out of the magic bracelet!
These talismans are all of two types: [Evil-Dispelling Talisman] and [Baleful Intent-Breaking Talisman].
But at this moment, these thousands upon thousands of talismans did not attack in a chaotic manner. Instead, the instant they flew out, they attracted, adhered to, and overlapped with each other with unparalleled precision!
In the blink of an eye, countless talismans gathered, compressed, and condensed in Qi Yun's hands, transforming into a weapon about four feet long.
A longsword made entirely of yellow talismans, with cinnabar runes flowing and shining like living things!
The moment the sword was formed, a vast and powerful pressure, capable of suppressing evil spirits and destroying Sha Qi, suddenly erupted.
The sword gleamed with golden light, imbuing the surrounding medicinal aura with a brilliant hue!
[Expel Evil Break Baleful Intent Sword]
Clang-!!!!
The next moment, the eight destructive beams of the Asura Eight Weapons collided fiercely with this seemingly fragile but actually powerful talisman sword!
The talisman sword did not shatter as expected, nor was the evenly matched contest as anticipated.
The moment they made contact, the "Expel Evil Break Baleful Intent" divine power emanating from the talisman sword, which was condensed with the essence of countless basic talismans, erupted fiercely like a volcano that had been accumulating for ten thousand years!
"Boom-!!!"
A golden Sword-Ray shot into the sky.
Pure, vast, and inviolable!
The Asura Eight Weapons, condensed from pure Asura Sha Qi, were like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun before this extremely restrained power, uttering a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
In an instant, it shattered, crumbled, and dissolved!
The Sword-Ray's momentum remained undiminished, like the dawn's rays piercing through the thick darkness, striking Chang Qing's battered body with devastating force!
"Ah-!!!"
Chang Qing let out a deep, muffled roar, and his entire body flew backward like a stone thrown by a catapult, crashing heavily into the distant Dan Hai, stirring up a sky full of "waves".
His body was scorched by the evil-dispelling golden light, leaving him riddled with holes, which worsened his already severe injuries.
The dark red Asura Sha Qi dissipated rapidly as if it had encountered its nemesis.
Even his crimson eyes had become dull and lifeless, and blood was gushing out.
"Wh-what kind of Law Artifact?!" Chang Qing struggled to lift his head from his dantian, covering his bleeding eyes.
He couldn't understand how a bunch of low-level talismans could unleash such terrifying power!
Qi Yun held the talisman sword whose light gradually dimmed. The sword's blade was tightly bound together with countless yellow talismans, and vermilion runes flowed slowly like blood vessels, making it extremely mysterious.
He gently stroked the sword, a hint of satisfaction with his own skill flashing in his eyes, and calmly said, "This is the Law Artifact that will kill you!"
This method was precisely the one he used when he rejected three broad paths in the Sword Inquiry Forest.
Driven by his own "free" Dao heart, he obtained that seemingly crude [Nameless Swordsmanship]!
When he first obtained this method, he was puzzled as to how such a simple method, which had no name and whose operation was unclear, could be preserved in this mysterious and boundless ancient sword cultivation heritage site.
But when he mastered it and truly understood its meaning, he suddenly realized the truth.
The choice of the name "[Nameless]" is truly excellent, absolutely brilliant!
The core essence of the [Nameless Swordsmanship] is not fixed sword moves or attributes. Once mastered, it can be Divine Ability with any spells or supernatural Law Technique one has learned.
Its essence was extracted and transformed into a unique [magic sword].
The so-called "Nameless Swordsmanship" is actually just "Nameless Sword Technique".
As long as they are compatible.
Nothingness becomes something.
At this moment, by combining the [Nameless Swordsmanship] with his own proficient [Talisman Art], he can gather thousands of seemingly weak and useless low-level talismans into one, removing the dross and retaining the essence.
This is how the [Expel Evil Break Baleful Intent Sword] was formed.
"Cultivation Method are static, but people are dynamic."
"The sword is the form, but the method is the essence." Qi Yun stood holding the sword, his aura perfectly integrated with the talisman sword. He lowered his eyes to look at the [Expel Evil Break Baleful Intent Sword] in his hand, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
Because at the beginning, we didn't know how effective the [Nameless Swordsmanship] actually was.
Therefore, he chose to combine it with the less commonly used [Talisman Art].
Unexpectedly, once these methods were combined, they became inseparable.
However, his [Talisman Art] version is too outdated.
They didn't have any more powerful talismans on hand.
If the [Nameless Swordsmanship] is compatible with his most powerful weapon, the [Soul Refining Banner], then...
That one sword strike had already killed Chang Qing.
No problem, we can wait for the [Nameless Swordsmanship] update, which may allow it to be combined with more Law Technique.
After comforting himself with a few words, Qi Yun walked towards Chang Qing with his sword in hand.
The most important thing right now is to kill this troublesome, resilient cockroach.
Qi Yun, wielding a talismanic sword, approached step by step.
Chang Qing collapsed in the sea of pills, his body shattered, his Asura Sha Qi nearly dissipated.
Only those eyes, blurred with blood, remained fixed on Qi Yun, filled with the madness of someone at their wit's end.
You're not qualified to kill me!
Suddenly, he stretched out his still-intact hand and plunged it recklessly into the sea of pills beside him. Chang Qing grabbed a handful of crystal-clear Hundred Essence Pill, and without even looking at them, he frantically stuffed them into his mouth!
He wanted to use this massive amount of elixir energy to forcibly prolong his life.
Even—to reverse the situation!
However, just as Chang Qing was frantically consuming the Hundred Essence Pill, Qi Yun, who had been on guard, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
An inexplicable and intense sense of crisis washed over him like ice water, sending a shiver down his Divine Soul.
Something's not right!
Almost instinctively, he stopped in his tracks, Qi Yun left hand rapidly forming five fingers, instantly pushing the "Blood-Guided Profound Mysteries" technique within his body to its limit, his mind sinking into the the Unseen to capture that fleeting glimpse of heavenly secret.
The moment the divination result appeared, Qi Yun's expression changed drastically!
[Extremely dangerous!]
"Oh no! Don't eat it! Throw it out!"
Qi Yun shouted sternly, trying to stop Chang Qing's suicidal act.
But Chang Qing was critically injured and on the verge of death; his mind was completely consumed by the madness of survival and hatred. How could he possibly listen to him?
He took it as Qi Yun's intimidation, fearing that he would regain his strength.
His throat bobbed violently as he forced down the mouthful of Hundred Essence Pill that filled his cheeks!
"Gulp!"
As Chang Qing forcibly swallowed the massive amount of Hundred Essence Pill,
A sudden change has occurred!
It didn't originate from Chang Qing's body, but from this boundless ocean of elixirs itself!
"Buzz-!!!"
A deep, resonant sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the Nine Nethers, came from the bottom of the Dan Sea.
Immediately afterward, under Qi Yun's focused gaze, a wisp of pitch-black flame suddenly shot up from the snow-white, crystal-clear surface of the Hundred Essence Pill!
And this is just the beginning!
"Boom-!!!!!"
As if some kind of fuse had been lit, the wisp of black flame spread out at an incredible speed!
Like thick ink dropped into clear water, the black flames frantically devoured everything in their path—all the Hundred Essence Pill!
One, ten, a hundred, ten thousand, a hundred million----
As far as the eye could see, the once sacred, peaceful, and radiant boundless sea of cinnabar...
In just a few breaths, it transformed into a raging sea of black fire!
The flames were silent, yet they possessed a terrifying power to incinerate and devour everything, even distorting space itself slightly under their scorching heat!
The intense heat, mixed with the violent and chaotic primordial energy released when the elixir was forcibly refined and annihilated, formed a destructive turbulent current that swept across all directions.
The black flames spread faster than anyone could have imagined, like a surging black tide, engulfing Qi Yun and Chang Qing, who were located in the Dan Sea!
"Fuck you—" Even with Qi Yun's composure, he couldn't help but curse inwardly at this moment.
He didn't care whether Chang Qing, who had brought this upon himself, was alive or dead; saving his own life was the priority.
"Rise!"
Qi Yun reacted with lightning speed, immediately dispersing the talisman sword in his hand and reverting it back into a talisman.
At the same time, he frantically urged his mind and summoned the Soul Refining Banner!
Sensing the danger to its master, the Soul Refining Banner fluttered wildly, releasing wisps of dense, almost tangible black energy that formed a giant black cocoon, enveloping Qi Yun layer by layer!
"Condense!"
Sunken Abyss Iron Sand beneath his feet roared up, instantly condensing into several layers of incredibly thick, shimmering metallic spherical protective walls around Qi Yun's body!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Without hesitation, he crushed the few remaining rare protective array plates in the storage bracelet.
A series of light shields of different colors lit up instantly, stacking like eggshells outside the iron sand protective wall.
Having done all this, Qi Yun was completely enveloped in layers of defense. His expression was extremely solemn as Divine Sense stared intently at the black sea of fire that was surging towards him like a cataclysmic flood.
As for Chang Qing's figure—he had long been engulfed by the black flames.
