Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Chapter 261 Enemies Meet

Two of the four people standing in front of him were Huang Yunshan and Du Yongyi, who had fought him in the Water Moon Secret Realm a few years ago.

As for the other two, I don't know them. The fact that they are standing together is probably because they were hired by both families.

Unlike when he left the secret realm, Huang Yunshan had already returned to his former appearance, and even looked younger. He probably consumed some rare and precious herbs, which even restored his lifespan.

As for Du Yongyi, he was still the same as before, except that he stared intently at him as soon as he appeared, and after a long while, he sneered, "Who do we have here? It's Clan Chief Zhang. This truly proves the old saying, 'Enemies are destined to meet!'"

Zhang Lingyu ignored him, instead glancing at Huang Yunshan's arm and sarcastically remarking, "Fellow Daoist Huang's arm has grown back; congratulations indeed."

"squeak..."

A hint of hatred flashed across Huang Yunshan's face, but he quickly suppressed it, looking at Li Yanhui who had rushed to his side, and said in a deep voice:

"Zhang Lingyu, Li Yanhui, all our old friends are here. Last time, you escaped with the protection of the Golden Core, but let's see where you can run now. You'll vomit up everything you ate back then!"

"What do you three say?"

"Hehe, we have no objections, we will leave it to you to arrange, fellow Daoist."

Since the Li family seized the Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor last time, and after True Person Xuanhao killed the Demon King and took the Demon Core, the Huang and Du families have felt a great crisis and have secretly joined forces in recent years.

Since they couldn't take action openly, they plotted to take this opportunity to eliminate all of the Li family's elites within the Spirit Puppet Sect.

The cultivators beside the two were from Jiugong Mountain in the Zhao Kingdom, a Golden Core level force that had formed an alliance within the Lingkui Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Sun, if you two assist us in killing these two and the Li family cultivators here, my family will surely reward you handsomely!"

The two people beside Huang Yunshan were both at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Although their cultivation levels were slightly lower, they were in no way inferior to peak cultivators. Both of them were direct disciples of Golden Core cultivators.

"We agree, but let me make this clear first: most of the items on these two will belong to us, and we'll also take two of those Phoenix Fruits. Of course, we won't take the fruit tree or anything like that." The cultivator surnamed Zhao glanced at Zhang Lingyu and actually started to raise the price on the spot.

"Such a greedy person is actually a direct disciple of the Golden Core stage? And the Golden Core cultivator at Jiugong Mountain is blind too."

A murderous glint flashed in Huang Yunshan's eyes. Of the three Phoenix Fruits he had just seized, one was with Du Yongyi and one was with the cultivator surnamed Zhao. Now that a formidable enemy was at hand, he had no choice but to agree.

There are very few people who dare to threaten him, and he will naturally bring them all out when he finds an opportunity.

"Whatever you ate, you'll vomit back up the same way!"

As he finished speaking, wisps of cold air seeped from his body, instantly forming a powerful cold current that made the three people beside him shiver. Even the leaves of the Phoenix Spirit Tree not far away curled up.

"Brother Huang, don't damage the fruit trees!" Du Yongyi frowned and reminded him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Huang Yunshan said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Zhao and I will deal with Zhang Lingyu, while you two, Brother Du, will deal with Li Yanhui. We must finish this quickly to prevent outsiders from taking the credit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the icy air of the snowy region turned into a torrent and surged towards Zhang Lingyu, while the cultivator surnamed Zhao provided support from the side.

Just as they thought they could gain the upper hand with four against two, four more figures suddenly appeared behind the enemy. Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was Lin Qing and his wife, who had come forward with their puppets to provide support.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu and his wife were trapped, Li Yunrui and the other Li family cultivators sent the couple to help them, while they themselves engaged the other two families of cultivators.

"They even have helpers, and puppeteers at that?"

Huang Yunshan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening. After recognizing the clothing, he sneered:

"Who did we have here? Turns out they're just two rogue cultivators. So what if they're in the late Foundation Establishment stage? Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Sun, we'll leave them to you!"

"We will not take any of their storage bags!"

"Thank you, Brother Huang!" The two cultivators surnamed Zhao were overjoyed. What could two Foundation Establishment cultivators do? At most, the puppet would be a little troublesome. They were direct disciples of Golden Core cultivators!

For a time, the battle surrounding the Phoenix Fruit Tree was divided into four areas.

Faced with the rolling cold air, Zhang Lingyu remained calm. While directing the bees to interfere, he also flicked something out of his sleeve!

Ice Soul Jade Cicada.

While the Burning Yuan Heart Flame could certainly extricate him from the predicament, he didn't want to waste too much of his magic power at the moment, so he retrieved an Ice Soul Jade Cicada from Li Yan before the battle began.

The insect opened its mouth and inhaled, drawing in all the chilling air, but it still couldn't change its listless state.

Unlike the environment of the Cold Marrow Abyss, the environment in which the Phoenix Fruit Tree is located is undoubtedly scorching hot. Prolonged exposure to the outside will inevitably harm the tree, so it can only be used as a surprise tactic.

After absorbing the cold energy, Zhang Lingyu immediately withdrew the spirit insect. At this moment, Huang Yunshan also broke out of the swarm of bees and attacked him. This person did not make many moves, but simply shook the bell in his hand.

Mind-capturing bell.

This item was damaged in the Water Moon Secret Realm, but it has been repaired over the years. It is slightly weaker, but that does not diminish its power as a weapon.

Now that Huang Yunshan was pushing it to its full potential, the magic weapon no longer distinguished between friend and foe. The surrounding cultivators immediately conjured up terrifying scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, forcing them to stop and suppress their rage. Even Du Yongyi showed signs of pain.

"Huang Yunshan, what do you want to do?!"

The roars of Zhao and Sun still echoed in his ears, but Huang Yunshan paid no heed. The chill behind him had vanished without a trace, replaced by a sky full of black mud.

The corrosive, foul spring, blotting out the sky, was about to engulf Zhang Lingyu when, unexpectedly, the shuttle beneath her feet suddenly accelerated, allowing her to pass directly through the gap.

"That's impossible!"

Huang Yunshan's face was filled with disbelief. How could the opponent be completely unaffected at such close range? His offensive was so smooth and fluid, all for the purpose of quickly killing the opponent.

The next moment he suddenly remembered that in the Water Moon Secret Realm, the other party was the least affected except for those in the late Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, he guessed that the other party must have cultivated some kind of divine soul technique.

"My spiritual sense is comparable to the early stage of the Golden Core realm; how could I be affected by you?"

Zhang Lingyu sneered inwardly, looking at the overwhelming black mud, and then unleashed the Burning Yuan Heart Flame that had been accumulating in his heart and lungs to fight it off.

It must be said that he had many treasures, but he really didn't know how to deal with this Corrosive Spring. The thunder was domineering, but he was worried that the flying sword would be corroded, so he had no choice but to fight it with a sea of ​​fire.

The stench was overwhelming and spread throughout the battlefield in an instant, forcing everyone to hold their breath and defend themselves.

The Corrosive Spring was briefly suppressed. Zhang Lingyu pushed the shuttle under his feet to its limit and quickly approached Huangyun Mountain. At the same time, he used the Blood Demon Mighty Body and activated the Blood Yuan Armor, clearly wanting to confront it head-on.

"You want to confront me head-on?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Huang Yunshan quickly regained his composure. The Mind-Controlling Bell was constantly being activated. No matter how strong your spiritual sense is, it will eventually be affected.

Just as the six lightning-infused flying swords were about to reach him, a fierce glint flashed in Huang Yunshan's eyes. His earth-yellow robe suddenly burst forth with a thick radiance, instantly covering his entire body. He then took out a long spear and fiercely met the attack.

The spear shaft was taken from the entire main spine of the fourth-tier demon beast, the Earth Bull, and supplemented with Earth Iron. It was forged in the fire of the earth for three years, making it a precious treasure.

Huang Yunshan suddenly exerted force with his right arm, his spear neither dodging nor avoiding, but directly meeting the six Xuan Ting flying swords that were intertwined into a net. The cold light on the tip of the spear and the lightning on the flying swords collided with a loud crash in an instant!

"clang!"

The ear-piercing clang of metal clashing exploded in mid-air, and the chilling air climbed up and spread along the gun, frantically tearing at and canceling out the blue-white lightning bursting from the flying sword.

Wherever the chill passed, the blood-red patterns on the spear suddenly shone brightly, as if a wild bull was roaring. For a moment, cold mist filled the air, and Zhang Lingyu groaned and swayed slightly.

Huang Yunshan's powerful strike, driven purely by immense strength and powerful magic, shook Huang Yunshan's mind. The force of the recoil from the six flying swords was immense, and even with the Blood Demon's mighty body, the tiger's mouth holding the sword still felt a tearing pain.

Of course, the opponent was not having an easy time either. Although Huang Yunshan deflected the flying sword with his spear, the residual force of the thunder still penetrated through the gap and slammed into the protective aura and magic robe, causing his blood and qi to surge and his feet to involuntarily take a step back.

However, Huang Yunshan was not a pampered scion of a noble family. This step back did not make him panic. Instead, he used the momentum to deflect the force, twisted his waist and hips, and regained his balance in an instant.

He was extremely experienced in combat, and his methods were intricately linked. At the very moment he stabilized his body, his lips parted slightly, and a tiny, almost invisible dark light mingled with the lingering cold mist and lightning.

It was the Yin Sha Needle, a magical artifact that had been secretly nurtured under the tongue, ready to be unleashed.

This needle is as fine as a cow's hair, specifically designed to pierce protective spiritual shields and robes. It is also coated with a chilling and malevolent poison, making it extremely ruthless and cunning.

This was a rare opportunity, as Zhang Lingyu's old strength had just dissipated and new strength had not yet arisen, and his mind was slightly fluctuating due to the backlash from the flying sword.

Unexpectedly, his body suddenly froze, and the black light that was about to burst from his mouth was abruptly stopped.

A sharp, intense pain suddenly shot through the depths of his consciousness, as if an invisible ice spike had pierced his soul, causing his concentrated magical power to dissipate instantly and his control over his divine sense to suffer a fatal stagnation.

"Soul attack!"

In fact, he had been prepared for this long time. Since the other party had cultivated the Divine Soul Technique, he must have also cultivated the corresponding attack techniques. However, he did not expect that it could actually affect him. Fortunately, it was not so troublesome as to be unmanageable.

This item was obtained by him in an ancient cultivation cave many years ago. Although it is not a treasure for attacking, it is most effective in nourishing the soul and resisting the invasion of external evils. It has a miraculous effect on resisting attacks on the soul.

At this moment, the jade bead sensed the external spiritual impact. Under Huang Yunshan's active encouragement, it spontaneously rippled out a circle of clear light. Wherever it passed, the sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness melted away like ice and snow, and was instantly soothed by most of it. Although his spiritual sense was still somewhat sluggish, it no longer affected his ability to continue fighting.

This series of changes, though seemingly complex, actually occurred in the blink of an eye.

Just as Huang Yunshan's attack slowed slightly due to the Soul-Destroying Thorn, Zhang Lingyu was about to regroup when Huang Yunshan's response and counterattack came faster and more fiercely than he had anticipated.

Huang Yunshan roared, completely dispelling the last trace of discomfort in his soul. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and taking advantage of the moment when Zhang Lingyu's six flying swords had a slight opening due to the previous clash, he suddenly twitched his spear.

The spear no longer thrust straight forward, but instead swept fiercely across the weak point of the sword net woven by the six flying swords. With a piercing impact, the six flying swords were shattered by this single strike.

The sword formation was broken instantly!

The flaw has been revealed; how could Huang Yunshan miss it?

He pressed close to Zhang Lingyu, the spear still in motion, and with the residual force of the sweep, the spear slammed solidly into Zhang Lingyu's chest, who had not had time to completely dodge.

With a muffled thud, the protective aura around Zhang Lingyu's body flickered violently, as if it might be extinguished at any moment. A tremendous force came, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat. As if he had been hit by a ferocious beast, he was forced to take several steps back uncontrollably, his chest heaving with blood and qi, and his face turned pale for a moment.

After only a few exchanges, the tide of battle had already turned.

"This is the direct descendant of the Golden Core Immortal Clan!"

Zhang Lingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had never underestimated Huang Yunshan. In fact, during the Water Moon Secret Realm incident, Li Yanhui and Huang Yunshan were the main force, and he was just mediating between them. Even when they fought, Huang Yunshan was seriously injured.

This time, it's a fair and square confrontation.

Fortunately, the Blood Essence Armor was resilient, and with the added strength of the Blood Demon's Mighty Body, even though he took a solid hit, he wasn't seriously injured. He swallowed the pill he had already been holding in his mouth, and only then did he feel a little better.

Seeing Huang Yunshan sneer at him, he quickly withdrew, remaining vigilant while looking for an opportunity to strike.

Both sides could have maintained the stalemate for a while longer, but the change happened too quickly. The reason for this was that he was too confident in his Soul-Destroying Thrust.

However, the Soul-Destroying Thorn did have some impact. Huang Yunshan's facial pain at that moment was impossible to fake. Anyone else would have been stunned for a moment. I thought that the other party's soul was strong enough to react quickly, but now that I think about it carefully, I still feel that something is wrong.

Even if he takes medicine immediately, it will take him some time to recover. This person definitely possesses a magical artifact capable of defending against attacks on the soul!

The moment this idea popped into Zhang Lingyu's mind, it immediately made him more certain that, given the Huang family's wealth, it might not be impossible.

"This is troublesome."

His most prized techniques are the Six Paths Mystic Thunder Flying Sword and the Soul-Destroying Thorn. No cultivator in the past could withstand more than a few rounds of attacks from them. However, casting the Azure Lotus Sword Formation requires immense magical power, and there is no guarantee of instant kill.

They intended to wear him down with the Soul-Destroying Thorn, but they never expected him to have this other trick up his sleeve.

In fact, it is entirely possible to use a powerful divine soul to perform the technique multiple times. After all, no matter how strong the magical artifact protecting the divine soul is, it still requires the cultivator to use their magical power and mental energy to activate it.

It's simply a matter of who can last longer.

While he could wear down his opponent, he couldn't ignore the threat posed by Zhao and Sun. Lin Qing and his wife alone couldn't stop these two Golden Core cultivators for long.

As Huang Yunshan approached step by step, he gritted his teeth, seemingly having made up his mind.

"Now we have no choice but to take a gamble!"
