Chapter 70 Raid (Celebrating the Nightlight Alliance Leader of Daylight!)
Several months later.
Southwest China Sea.
A dark cloud dispersed, transforming into a second-tier low-grade array, within which lightning flickered—it was none other than the second-tier Gui Water Yin Lightning Array!
Inside the formation, a second-tier mid-grade giant bone fish was trapped and unable to move.
It was as large as a small boat, covered in ferocious white bone armor. Its sharpest feature was the bone spikes held in its mouth, which were said to seriously injure even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator if they took a direct hit.
Unfortunately, once targeted, the giant bony fish was helpless, its bones scattered and broken by the mines.
Finally, Fang Qing's figure descended from the sky, the Sea Spirit Pearl in his hand like a blue meteor, striking the bone fish squarely in the forehead.
boom!
The giant fish died from its brain rupture and floated to the surface, revealing its snow-white belly.
"Now's the time!"
He took something out of his storage bag, which turned out to be a small banner.
After a spell was cast, the small banner grew larger and larger until it was held in Fang Qing's hand.
The flagpole was pure white, and the banner itself was jet black, covered with various demonic runes. It was clearly a soul banner artifact crafted by Fang Qing!
Of course, at this moment, he had only casually refined a hundred first-order sea beast souls and the spirit of a second-order "Breaking Sea Swallow" that he had killed before. It could barely be considered a low-grade spiritual weapon, and its power was not as good as the Transforming Sea Pearl.
Fang Qing made hand seals and muttered incantations.
From the Soul Banner, strands of black energy, like ropes, reached into the giant bone fish's body and pulled out a pale ball of light.
Within the ball of light, there seemed to be a miniature bone fish, struggling left and right, but it could not escape Fang Qing's soul-guiding technique and was sucked into the soul banner.
A black mist rolled across the banner, and one could vaguely see a sea swallow spirit leading hundreds of sea beasts to suppress a bone fish spirit.
A moment later, the bone fish froze, landing on a corner of the banner and turning into a mark.
The aura of the Soul Banner artifact fluctuated, becoming slightly stronger than before.
"Congratulations, young master, your magical artifact's power has increased once again."
Qin Ruxue then dispelled the formation and stepped forward to offer her congratulations.
For the past two weeks, she and Fang Qing have been roaming the southwestern sea, killing demonic beasts and refining the soul banner.
I wonder what the young master is waiting for, as he hasn't returned to the sect yet.
"Okay, let's find a small island to rest for a bit. Remember to set up a concealment formation—"
Fang Qing explained his plan.
Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement.
Even if he doesn't encounter the good people predicted in the divination, he can still rely on himself to continuously hunt second-tier demonic beasts and upgrade the Soul Banner level.
"Getting the Hundred Soul Banner" is unrealistic, but obtaining a Ten Soul Banner, a mid-grade spiritual artifact, shouldn't be a problem—and each additional second-tier main soul will enhance the power of the mid-grade spiritual artifact."
"Yes, young master!"
Qin Ruxue quickly cut up the monster materials and found a reef to settle down with Fang Qing.
Upon landing, her first action was to set up a hidden formation to conceal her presence.
After all, the Taibai Sea area is full of beast tides, and not only beast tides, but also elite cultivator teams from the Zhong family that launch raids!
Fang Qing found a sunken rock, spread a leather blanket made of white tiger beast on it, and it instantly became like a sofa. He slumped down on it, feeling the wisps of fire spirit energy drying his clothes and dissipating the dampness, making him feel warm and extremely comfortable.
Meanwhile, Qin Ruxue had already begun roasting the giant bone fish.
This fish was renowned for its delicious flavor. When the grilled fish was served, Fang Qing took out a pot of spirit wine and drank with Qin Ruxue, creating a rather charming scene.
Before we knew it, several hours had passed.
"Um?
'
Fang Qing and Qin Ruxue, who were sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened their eyes almost simultaneously and took out a jade talisman from their storage bags.
"This is... an emergency distress signal from the sect?"
Qin Ruxue's eyes flickered: "A fellow disciple has been attacked nearby? And is calling for help? Young Master—"
'
She looked at Fang Qing, her gaze questioning.
This kind of distress signal can only be broadcast to nearby fellow cultivators. It sends its own location but cannot locate nearby fellow cultivators. After all, it is at a disadvantage and can only hope that nearby fellow disciples will lend a helping hand out of consideration for their fellow disciples.
Furthermore, if we could locate the other disciples, and if one of them were captured and the jade talisman's restriction was broken, wouldn't we be able to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?
Therefore, Qin Ruxue and Fang Qing could simply pretend they didn't see or know anything and leave without being held accountable afterward.
"Let's go!"
Fang Qing's heart stirred, and he used the "Plum Blossom Divination" method to divine, which revealed an auspicious sign. He smiled slightly and made a decision.
He knew that the good man should already be in place.
At this moment, we were not far from the island reef.
A spirit ship flying the flag of the Azure Sea Gate is under attack.
It's freezing cold; even a drop of water freezes instantly.
Drops of water vapor condensed into thick ice cones, ice axes, and ice swords—slashing at the spirit ship's defensive shield, causing it to teeter on the brink of collapse.
The once formidable defenses of the spirit ship now appeared to be malfunctioning and were about to be breached.
"hateful!"
On the deck, several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Azure Sea Sect looked anxious: "The Zhong family is so treacherous! They actually planted a traitor within our sect, disrupting the ship's formation at a crucial moment—our route must have been leaked in the same way!"
"A distress signal has been sent out; hopefully, some cultivators from our sect will come to our aid."
The speaker was Hu Fu, who stared at a figure in the sky, his face extremely grim: "Zhong Lingxiu—it's actually this person—"
"Lead the way!"
"The Zhong family's unique spiritual root has actually reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage—"
"Not only that, he must be cultivating the Zhong family's signature technique—the Profound Ice Mystery Technique! His magical power is immense, far surpassing that of his peers—even ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be his match, and perhaps only late-Foundation Establishment cultivators could put up a fight!"
"Late stage of Foundation Establishment? Even within our sect, that's a big shot like an island lord or palace master."
97
Hu Fan glanced at his fellow disciples who were repeatedly exclaiming in amazement but refused to go out and engage in battle, acting like cowards. He sneered inwardly, "All they know is to hold their ground and wait to die—looks like they're planning to wait until the ship breaks down and then see who can run the fastest?"
He secretly clutched a high-grade second-tier escape talisman in his hand, a life-saving trump card he had painstakingly purchased at a high price: "Once the formation breaks, I'll be the fastest to run! I'll definitely survive, and I'll form my core and become a Core Formation Ancestor revered by everyone in the Little Universe Sea cultivation world!"
Clang!
suddenly!
A single sword cry rang out between heaven and earth. Amidst the clear and melodious sound, a cold sword light shot into the sky and pierced into the Zhong family cultivators.
puff!
The sword light was extremely fast, flying and twisting gracefully. In an instant, it broke through an ice shield defense and was about to kill the Zhong family cultivator!
A flying sword can take a person's head from a hundred miles away in the blink of an eye—this is the skill of a sword cultivator!
The Zhong family cultivator was also in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but he was completely unable to react at this moment. He watched as the sword light broke through both the ice shield and his own magic power shield, and could only close his eyes and wait for death.
call out!
The flying sword was incredibly sharp, leaving a bloody gash on his neck, but it did not sever his head.
The Zhong family cultivator was overjoyed and quickly retreated, only to see a giant icy hand appearing in front of him, blocking the sword light for him.
This giant icy palm was incredibly cold, completely condensed from "Ice Soul Cold Light," its divine light ever-changing and extremely flexible. It unleashed a set of palm techniques to fight against the flying sword.
"The Deadly Sword—Cui Zhe?"
Zhong Lingxiu, clad in ice armor, spoke with a tone as cold as ancient ice: "Back then, you were my equal, but now you're outdated. How come you're only at the early Foundation Establishment stage? It seems you can only die by my hand."
He formed hand seals, and the icy light of ice appeared, then condensed into an ice phoenix with its wings spread, resembling a series of sharp, icy flying swords.
Tweet!
The ice phoenix let out a long cry that pierced through the clouds. Wherever its wings passed, the world suddenly turned icy cold, freezing the sword lights and slowing them down.
The sword light cried out in sorrow, transforming into a flying sword that landed in Cui Zhe's hand.
This sword cultivator, still in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, had a slightly pointed chin, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with unwavering determination: "Die!"
He merged with his sword, transforming into a beam of light that suddenly took on a blood-red hue, slashing down three giant icy hands and engaging in fierce combat with the Ice Phoenix.
Thousands of sword lights and ice shards flew everywhere. A moment later, the ice phoenix let out a mournful cry and exploded into countless ice fragments.
Cui Zhe was covered in blood, seemingly having used some secret technique to unleash his full potential.
He wielded a flying sword and charged straight at the heart of the enemy.
The sword light stopped on the ice armor, unable to advance even an inch further.
"Not bad sword intent. If it were any other mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, you might have been able to turn the tables on them. But unfortunately for you, you've met me."
Zhong Lingxiu waved her hand, and a giant icy hand slammed down.
The flying sword in Cui Zhe's hand let out a mournful cry and rolled back, causing him to fall continuously, his blood splattering in mid-air.
On the spirit ship, Hu Fan and the other cultivators saw this scene, but none of them wanted to fly out of the formation to rescue them. Instead, they prepared to scatter and flee for their lives.
"Hmph—they're all cowards, let them all go to the Hall of Punishment and Evil to receive their punishment!"
Just then, on the deck, a seemingly unremarkable Qi Refining stage disciple snorted coldly, his figure shifted, and a powerful surge of late-stage Foundation Establishment magic power overflowed outwards.
"Senior Brother Tianxing?!"
Hu Fan called out the man's name, his face filled with surprise and delight: "You're actually here?"
"Hmph, I knew long ago that there were spies from the Zhong family in my sect. This time, I had been lying in wait for a long time before I finally caught a big fish."
With a cold snort, Elder Tianxing soared into the sky, a bolt of lightning flashing wildly.
As the master of the Punishment Hall, he possesses profound cultivation and practices a lightning-attribute technique renowned for its killing power. He is a notorious and ruthless figure in the cultivation world of the Little Universe Sea!
"Zhong Lingxiu, you are indeed exceptionally talented; you cannot be allowed to live!"
Elder Tianxing formed hand seals, and bolts of lightning appeared, transforming into lightning serpents that struck the many Zhong family cultivators.
puff puff!
Suddenly, the protective artifacts and shields of those Zhong family Foundation Establishment cultivators were all shattered, and a crimson bloodstain appeared between their brows. They actually perished!
Zhong Lingxiu flashed a few times, her hands forming a layer of ice as she grabbed a purple needle radiating lightning in front of her: "I've heard that Tianxing of the Bihai Sect, though known as the Master of Punishments, is treacherous and ruthless. He has refined a set of flying needle spiritual weapons, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
"Oh? You actually saw through my 'Purple Lightning Needle'?"
Elder Tianxing was slightly surprised. He raised his hand, and purple lightning needles appeared around him: "And this time?"
"Sigh, as expected—if I want to grow stronger, I must be careful of you old fogies of the cultivation world!"
Zhong Lingxiu sighed, and suddenly a talisman appeared in her hand.
This talisman is pure white, but it has only one bead-shaped mark on it, emanating unfathomable spiritual energy fluctuations.
"This is... the Ice Soul Pearl talisman? The Zhong family patriarch actually bestowed this item upon you?"
Elder Tianxing let out a strange cry, turned his head and transformed into a bolt of lightning to escape from the kiln!
On the spirit ship, Hu Fan and the others, who had just survived the ordeal, were also terrified when they saw this scene. Suddenly, they all turned into streaks of light and scattered to escape!
