All Three Sides Suffered Heavy Losses

The overwhelming vines surged towards Qi Buxiu like a tidal wave, forcing Chu Yanran to light the Six-Sided Color-Embroidered Bamboo-Frame Golden-Thread Lamp to provide support. Two thunder swords, carrying fiery winds, moved with incredible speed, crossing paths to protect Qi Buxiu, scalding and burning the vines to ashes, finally saving the old man's life.

This relieved the Sect Leader Kang Da, who was standing to the side. Although he had nominally cultivated with Lang Yi at Crane Spirit Mountain for a while, the latter had not received any benefits from the Fei Household back then, so he was rather perfunctory when teaching him. Therefore, it was only today that Kang Dabao was able to glimpse the profound and terrifying nature of the Wood Technique of the number one cultivator in Hong County.

Kang Dabao felt a chill run down his spine and dared not show the slightest contempt. "No wonder my Boyue, such an arrogant man, could still receive some praise from Lang Yi. If this old cultivator had the help of his clan and the support of his sect in his early years, his achievements would have been limitless."

"Lang Yi, are you determined to make trouble for me Chu Yanran?" The beautiful woman's tone was icy, her almond-shaped eyes filled with murderous intent.

Beforehand, she had considered that Qi Buxiu's consumption of the Evergreen Vine root would render the vine withered and useless, and that Lang Yi's discovery would enrage the latter.

But Chu Yanran did not expect that this old cultivator would treat her as nothing and attack her without saying a word, which was somewhat beyond the beautiful woman's expectations.

Chu Yanran's face immediately flushed with anger, but this only added to her charming demeanor.

With a flick of her finger and a sharp cry, she unleashed a fierce slash with her Purifying Fire Blade. The flames were incredibly intense, shattering another defensive talisman in front of Yuan Feng into fragments. The young master of the Yuan Household was horrified, his brows furrowing as he cursed incessantly, "You lowly servant! You lowly servant!"

"Madam Qi, I only ask for half of your husband's Essence Blood, and I will repay you handsomely! I will remember your kindness in giving me life!" Lang Yi's words were earnest, but his expression remained unchanged, devoid of joy or sorrow.

With a wave of his hand, countless thorns suddenly sprouted from the field, resembling writhing venomous snakes, their sharp thorns all raised, lunging at the still-shaken Qi Buxiu.

These words caused Chu Yanran's expression to change drastically. "You old thief, prepare to die!" The Purifying Fire Blade turned back from Yuan Feng and swapped positions with the two Thunder Swords in front of Lang Yi.

Regardless of Lang Yi's reaction, this moment brought a sense of relief to Yuan Feng.

At this moment, the young master of the Yuan Household family, who had just taken a fierce slash from Chu Yanran's Purifying Fire Blade with his halberd, felt numbness in both arms. It seemed that the meridians in his hands had been damaged, and his desire to use this beautiful woman for sexual cultivation had long since vanished.

If Chu Yanran continues to fight so relentlessly, Yuan Feng will likely survive this time, but returning unscathed will be difficult.

The flames of the Purifying Fire Blade suddenly intensified, turning Lang Yi's vast thorny thicket into a backdrop for its display of power. The endless, ferocious flames, mixed with large patches of black ash, continued Qi Buxiu, sweeping back towards Lang Yi after rescuing Qi Buxiu.

Standing to the side Sect Leader Kang Da, wanting to make a move but daring not to, thought to himself:

"What do you want Master Qi's half-body Essence Blood for? Lang Yi has cultivated wood magic for many years. Could it be that he has other means to transform the Essence Blood of Qi Buxiu the Evergreen Vine Root, into a longevity-promoting spiritual object?"

How could Chu Yanran possibly succeed? Even if Master Qi survives, he'll likely have no hope of Foundation Establishment! How could this beautiful woman possibly abandon all this hard work?

However, Lang Yi, being an old cultivator focused on survival, wouldn't give Chu Yanran the slightest face! But what was wrong with this Chu Yanran? She seemed far more ferocious than the legends suggested.

With such power, she could probably even fight against ordinary False Core. If that's the case, why wasn't a place reserved for Chu Yanran when the Southern Ox and Northern Mountain stood as equals?"

"Kang boy?!" The beautiful woman's urgent call snapped Kang Dabao out of his reverie, and he quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

Despite facing the raging flames, the old cultivator Lang Yi persevered with only a piece of glass-colored Gavel Talisman Treasure. Although it was difficult, his expression remained extremely resolute.

"Take Buxiu away quickly. I will reward you handsomely after you leave Mountain-Viewing Cave. Don't forget the alliance between our two families that I made with Fellow Black Shoes Lu." Chu Yanran's tone was still urgent, but she had lost her composure compared to the beginning.

It seems that Chu Yanran's Cloud Horn Prefecture fight against Yuan Feng and Lang Yi, two top Foundation Establishment cultivators, was extremely difficult, even with the power of her Law Treasure.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Once he no longer had to face the Purifying Fire Blade, the pressure on Yuan Feng suddenly decreased significantly.

Just as Sect Leader Kang Da was about to make a move, his path was blocked by a bright halberd. The smooth surface of the Immortal Game Disc was struck hard, and in an instant, sparks and black smoke appeared, leaving a deep mark that was quite unsightly.

Kang Dabao had no time to pity, forcing back the blood of his rebellious heart, his face alternating between red and white, as he shouted, "You son of a bitch, Yuan Feng!"

Yuan Feng couldn't stand the insult. He was furious after being beaten by Chu Yanran for so long.

After the latter drew the Purifying Fire Blade, the young master of the Yuan Household was less restricted. Stopping Kang Dabao's minor repair was just an appetizer. As soon as the tip of the small branch on the Slaughter and Extermination in his hand lit up, a large patch of black flames appeared in the field again.

With a whoosh, Chu Yanran's two lightning swords, which she wielded in a crisscross pattern, were clearly no match for the Purifying Fire Blade. They were forced back a great distance by the black flames, and even the lightning on the swords was mostly subdued, losing its former power.

After displaying his power, Yuan Feng's tone hardened considerably. "Fellow Daoist Lang, give me the item now, and I'll fight this foolish woman to the death with you; if you're unwilling, then forget it, I'll turn around and leave without another word."

At this moment, Lang Yi's face still showed no joy or sorrow. Blood tears streamed from his cloudy eyes, which were almost blinded by the flames, but he still stared intently at the Daoist magic in front of him, unwilling to miss even the slightest opportunity to find a flaw in it.

Upon hearing Yuan Feng's words, Lang Yi did not hesitate at all. With a flick of his wrist, a ray of spiritual light tightly enveloped a purple incense cake, which then sped off towards the former.

Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Feng's face immediately lit up with joy. However, the sound of wind approaching from afar caused his joy to falter.

With a clang, the White Dew Sword, which was rushing towards the Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance, was violently struck by Slaughter and Extermination and returned with a mournful cry. A notch the size of a small fingernail finally appeared on its blade, causing Jiang Qing's heart to clench in pain and spit out a spurt of blood.

"Haha," Yuan Feng finally got his hands on the treasure he had been longing for. He didn't even care about being angry at Jiang Qing for making a Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance with one hand, lightly Slaughter and Extermination Halberd with the other, and then fiercely slashed at the two Thunder Swords.

"Kang boy, hurry up! I can't hold them up for long!" Chu Yanran urged urgently, her heart filled with resentment.

If it weren't for the fact that her cultivation period was still short and she hadn't fully refined the Six-Sided Color-Embroidered Bamboo-Frame Golden-Thread Lamp in her hands, only able to unleash less than one-third of its power, how could she have been unable to defeat even two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator?

"Leave?!" Sect Leader Kang Da knew that Chu Yanran was not at ease at the moment, and if she stayed any longer, the situation might take a turn for the worse.

Just as he was about to turn around and greet the still grieving Purple-Whiskered King Tuna and Six-Eyed Sage Widower, he realized that all the aquatic beasts that had come with the four beasts were gone, and he didn't know how to start a conversation.

"Let's go to the stone chamber and wait for our elder brother!" The intense pain emanating from Purple-Whiskered King Tuna quickly brought him back to his senses.

By this point in the battle, only one of the three pairs of yellow eyes of the Six-Eyed Sage Widower remained capable of seeing. Its body and tail had also suffered severe injuries from the Slaughter and Extermination. The flesh that should have healed long ago had just been stimulated by the powerful spiritual energy to grow back, but as soon as it came together, before the fascia had even fully healed, it was forced to burst open again by the remaining evil Sha Qi, bleeding profusely.

The Six-Eyed Sage Widower is in such a wretched state now, only surviving thanks to the constant protection of his second brother Purple-Whiskered King Tuna, and has almost completely lost his fighting ability.

Now that the latter has been settled, Six-Eyed Sage Widower, as the third brother, naturally has no other opinions.

The two beasts, not blinded by hatred, managed to save Sect Leader Kang Da a lot of trouble with his words.

Even with Chu Yanran risking her life to restrain them, it would be very difficult for Kang Dabao and his group, along with their beasts, to leave.

"Leave him here?!" Yuan Feng swept his halberd, its mysterious light exuding immense power, clearly indicating that Chu Yanran was finding it difficult to completely restrain him with just two thunder swords.

This caused the Sect Leader Kang Da, who was protecting Qi Buxiu, to be greatly shocked. In the end, it was only by relying on the Golden Light to go first, the flying sword to block from behind, and the long beard to harass him that Kang Dabao managed to block the halberd with the Immortal Game Disc.

"Send Bu Buxiu to any room!!" Chu Yanran gritted her teeth, the cry barely escaping her lips.

"Send Qi Buxiu to any room? That's one way! But won't that old bastard Lang Yi tear me apart?" Kang Dabao watched as Lang Yi's turbid eyes turned bloodshot after hearing Chu Yanran's words, and a chill ran down his spine.

Before he could figure out what to do, he saw the Slaughter and Extermination, which had just been Sect Leader Kang Da, hover in the air for a moment before changing direction and striking Qi Buxiu fiercely.

With a rustling sound, Kang Dabao's expression changed drastically. He didn't have time to save Qi Buxiu, so he slapped out three Second-Tier Lower-Grade defensive talismans and placed them in front of Qi Buxiu.

However, it could not stop the fierce and powerful short halberd, which was shattered in an instant, scattering streaks of spiritual light.

"You little brat!" Left with no other choice, even though the Sect Leader Kang Da was reluctant to part with his top-grade Spirit Artifact, he could only personally hold the Immortal Game Disc and stand before Qi Buxiu.

If the latter really suffers a mishap, judging from Chu Yanran's frenzied appearance, she might very well roast all of them with the lamplight, and wouldn't stop until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

With a muffled "clang," Kang Dabao's Immortal Game Disc dented half an inch, and he and Qi Buxiu behind him were sent flying backward, spitting blood.

"Buxiu!!" Chu Yanran was so worried that she turned her Thunder Sword back to block Slaughter and Extermination, intending to keep the vicious Spirit Artifact trapped. However, Lang Yi, who had been lying in wait for a long time, seized the opportunity.

With a "poof," the old cultivator coughed up a mouthful of Essence Blood, and his silver hair turned black like Qi Buxiu's. However, his face remained old, making him look rather strange.

The blood rain caused the Gavel Talisman Treasure to emit a dazzling spiritual light, finally suppressing the fierce and powerful Purifying Fire Blade.

"Not good!" Chu Yanran saved her husband, but released the old cultivator Lang Yi! Yuan Feng's move of attacking the enemy's defenses was a timeless and superior Higher Vehicle strategy.

"Bring him here!!!" Gavel Talisman Treasure forced Purifying Fire Blade back into the embroidered painting with his gavel. Looking at Lang Yi now, the calm and composed expression on the old man's face had vanished, replaced by a face full of madness.

At this moment, how could Qi Buxiu be just an ordinary cultivator in his eyes? He was the perfect tonic for prolonging his life and his Dao Path!

Let alone Chu Yanran, who was standing in front of him, being just a Foundation Establishment junior, even if the person blocking Lang Yi's way was some fake Core Formation Master or a Golden Core cultivator, he would still rush forward and fight to the death.

Could Sect Leader Kang Da, at the Foundation Establishment Peak, withstand the full power of his Fu Baobao? Of course not!

Purple-Whiskered King Tuna and Six-Eyed Sage Widower were well aware of this, and Qi Buxiu.

Without a second thought, the two beasts dodged away.

A hint of envy arose in Sect Leader Kang Da's eyes. If it weren't for the ridiculous alliance agreement that Daoist Black Shoes and Chu Yanran had made, Kang Dabao would have run away long ago!

"Kang boy, don't dodge!" Chu Yanran, having taken a blow from Yuan Feng, coughed up blood and rushed over to help.

"Daoist Master is quite a figure now. How could an ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator have the good fortune to be served by a talisman?!" Kang Dabao lamented inwardly, his face turning pale.

The Immortal Game Disc shone brightly, and ninety more white chess pieces were released from the box, transforming into Yang lightning.

After a series of loud explosions, Kang Dabao saw the huge phantom of the gavel in front of him momentarily slowed down. As Lang Yi's brows furrowed even more and he clenched his fist to form a hand seal, the speed of the phantom of the gavel did not decrease but increased, and it was about to crash into Sect Leader Kang Da in an instant.

Jiang Qing could no longer restrain himself. He abandoned Zhang Qingran and came to her rescue with his sword! Although his cultivation was low, his Swordsmanship was outstanding. He finally found a flaw in Lang Yi's movements and deflected the gavel by an inch. However, he was shaken so badly that his whole body trembled and he almost lost his breath.

However, Jiang Qing's outstanding performance did not resolve Kang Dabao's crisis; instead, it put him in danger as well.

Fortunately, Chu Yanran was always one step ahead. With a flick of her slender fingers, invisible spiritual power was contained at the tip of her fingertip, preventing the illusory talisman, which was at least ten feet tall, from advancing an inch.

"You lowly servant, prepare to die!!" Even as the talisman in his hand was about to burn out, Lang Yi ignored it all and roared, causing the phantom of the gavel to grow even larger!

Yuan Feng was not to be outdone. He pushed his Slaughter and Extermination to its limit, wielding two thunder swords with lightning speed. Black flames rose again, and the murderous aura almost soared to the sky!

"That weasel-faced bastard can go to Lang Yi afterwards, but this woman, whether she lives or dies, is mine!"

"You old thief!!"

As the sect Sect Leader Kang Da watched in disbelief, a resolute look appeared in Chu Yanran's beautiful eyes, her face flushed red like a date, and a stream of Essence Blood sprayed evenly onto the Six-Sided Color-Embroidered Bamboo-Frame Golden-Thread Lamp. The spiritual light on this inherited Law Treasure suddenly trembled.

"Yanran!" Qi Buxiu Qi Buxiu had just returned to its full black color, still looked terrible when he cried. His thin body resembled a straw man in a coat, but inside he possessed the courage to be the Chu Yanran's path.

Kang Dabao could not stand idly by and watch this happen, so he sent out a beam of mysterious light to Qi Buxiu behind him.

The next instant, the Purifying Fire Blade flew out of the embroidered painting again, its power even greater than before. As soon as it collided with the powerful talisman in front of it, it was like a needle against a wheat awn, neither giving an inch!

"Bang!" Kang, Jiang, and Qi were so shocked by the loud noise that blood flowed from their seven orifices. Then they saw Lang Yi's face turn pale with fear, and the illusory image of the talisman scattered into light, falling all over the ground.

"Pfft!" Lang Yi bent over, and the spurting blood stained his Movement Method crimson.

He wasn't the only one in a sorry state. After the Six-Sided Color-Embroidered Bamboo-Frame Golden-Thread Lamp shone brightly, the two thunder swords that Yuan Feng had thrown down also caught up with a dense burst of light and electricity!

A deafening roar of thunder filled the air. The Slaughter and Extermination in Yuan Feng's hand trembled violently, and the large swath of black flames was swept away by the lightning, leaving a large blank space in the arena.

"You lowly servant!" Yuan Feng could no longer close his lips, spitting out blood. He almost lost his balance and collapsed.

"What a pity! If I could have mastered the 'Wooden Palace Star Lord's Military Strategy' to half the level of the Ancestor Buwen, how could I have been injured by this wanton woman!"

Yuan Feng felt resentment in his heart, knowing that if he continued to fight, he might damage his own foundation like Chu Yanran. He was even more reluctant to let go of Zhang Qingran and Chu Yanran, these two tempting targets, and was now in a dilemma.

A lose-lose situation for all three?! This woman is truly formidable!

Yuan Feng sighed inwardly, but then he heard the angry shout of Sect Leader Kang Da from the other side.

"You lowly beast, how dare you!!!"
