70: Chapter 70: Another Secret Technique

Liu Shan let out a cold snort as black mist surged around his body, and he met the attack with a palm strike!

Boom!

The two of them clashed in battle!

Sword Qi crisscrossed and palm winds whistled. The surrounding stone pillars were swept by the aftermath, sending stone shards flying.

On the side of the Tianjian Sect, a female Cultivator at the Middle Foundation Establishment stage saw that her Senior Brother had been unable to win after a prolonged fight, and she instructed another female Cultivator at the Early Foundation Establishment stage: "Watch over the Junior Sister!"

After speaking, she drew her sword and rushed up! Another male Cultivator at the Early Foundation Establishment stage also hurriedly joined the battle.

Three against one!

Liu Shan instantly fell into a disadvantage!

The three of them greatly boosted their spirits, their sword momentum becoming even fiercer. Their sword techniques were also tricky and ruthless, aiming every move at vital points.

Liu Shan was hard-pressed to defend, retreating step by step. Several gashes were slashed into his black robe, and bloodstains faintly seeped out.

"Hmph, a Cult Protector of the Devil Cult is nothing much after all!" The male Cultivator sneered, thrusting his sword toward Liu Shan's heart.

Liu Shan narrowly dodged it, but the female Cultivator slashed off half of his sleeve with a sword stroke, making him extremely battered.

"Die!"

The male Cultivator's sword momentum rose again, preparing to finish off this Devil Head with a single sword strike!

Right at this moment, four figures suddenly rushed out from the passageway on the other side!

Four figures in black, all at Early Foundation Establishment!

"Lord Protector, we are late!"

The four shouted in unison, attacking simultaneously to block that fatal sword strike!

Liu Shan seized the opportunity to retreat a few steps and sneered grimly: "Brats of the Tianjian Sect, do you really think my Yinsha Cult is so easy to barge into?"

The expression of the Tianjian Sect male Cultivator changed.

Three against five—no, counting the Early Foundation Establishment female Cultivator guarding the Junior Sister, it barely counted as four against five.

But that Liu Shan on the other side was clearly stronger than others in the same realm by a wide margin. Just now, three against one could suppress him, but now the enemy had the numerical advantage!

He glanced back—the Junior Sister was protected in the corner with a pale face; another Early Foundation Establishment Junior Brother protected her front with a nervous expression.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?" The Middle Foundation Establishment female Cultivator asked in a low voice.

The male Cultivator clenched his teeth, a resolute flash appearing in his eyes:

"Kill! Even if we die, we must drag a few down with us!"

"Good!"

The two erupted simultaneously, their sword light like rainbows as they rushed to kill Liu Shan and the others!

Liu Shan sneered and waved his hand: "Take them down!"

In an instant, in the five-against-three situation, the Tianjian Sect side clearly fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this scene, the female Cultivator guarding the Junior Sister also joined the battle, barely managing to maintain the battle situation.

For a time, Sword Qi whistled, palm winds were like thunder, and blood splattered!

But the Tianjian Sect side had to be distracted to protect the injured Junior Sister, making the situation increasingly unfavorable for them.

Xiao Yuan hid behind the stone pillar, but his eyes kept staring at the battlefield.

His gaze looked at the Storage Pouch at Liu Shan's waist. Right there might be the Pill Formula he needed.

Watching the Tianjian Sect Disciples gradually losing ground, his gaze grew increasingly cold.

If Liu Shan were to keep these four people here, it would basically be impossible for him to capture Liu Shan again or snatch the Storage Pouch.

Moreover, although the Yinsha Cult side only temporarily brought four Early Foundation Establishment reinforcements, who knew if more reinforcements would come.

Xiao Yuan looked at the battlefield, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

Those four people from the Tianjian Sect could barely hold on anymore.

That Middle Foundation Establishment male Cultivator had several gashes slashed onto his body, blood staining half of his white clothes red.

The Middle Foundation Establishment female Cultivator was no better off, her hair bun disheveled and her face pale.

The two Early Foundation Establishment ones were even more miserable; one was blasted flying by a palm strike, vomiting blood as he crashed into the stone wall, while the other protected the Junior Sister and simply couldn't free up a hand.

As for the Yinsha Cult side, Liu Shan led the three Early Foundation Establishment ones, growing more valiant with every battle.

If this went on, these four people from the Tianjian Sect were afraid to lose their lives right here.

Xiao Yuan clenched his teeth. He originally wanted to wait for both sides to suffer heavy losses before picking up the benefits, but now it seemed that once they were all dead, he would have even less of a chance.

Fight to the death!

He took a deep breath, his figure flashing as he rushed out from behind the stone pillar!

The Gale Shadow-Chasing Movement Technique was fully deployed, and his entire person transformed into a cyan stream of light, instantly rushing behind an Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Yinsha Cult!

That fellow was fiercely besieging the Tianjian Sect male Cultivator and didn't notice anyone behind him at all.

"Die!"

Xiao Yuan thrust out his sword, pushing the Gale Shadow-Chasing Sword Art to its ultimate limit!

Puchi!

The sword tip pierced in from the back of the heart and protruded from the chest!

That Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator widened his eyes, lowering his head to look at the sword tip emerging from his chest, letting out two wheezing sounds before collapsing limply.

"What?!"

Liu Shan abruptly turned his head, his expression changing drastically!

The other two Early Foundation Establishment ones were also stunned, subconsciously retreating a few steps and staring vigilantly at this suddenly emerging stranger.

The four Tianjian Sect members were even more dumbfounded.

"Who... who is this?" The Middle Foundation Establishment male Cultivator widened his eyes. "Qi Condensation Stage?"

"A Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator can kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a single sword?!" The female Cultivator was also dumbfounded.

Xiao Yuan had no time to explain to them. As he rushed toward another Early Foundation Establishment one, he roared: "What are you dazing for! Fight!"

The Tianjian Sect members finally snapped back to their senses and hurriedly pounced up again!

With Xiao Yuan joining, the situation instantly reversed!

Xiao Yuan entangled an Early Foundation Establishment one, unfolding the Gale Shadow-Chasing Sword Art. Sword light shone like a rainbow, forcing that fellow to retreat repeatedly.

Although on the surface he was only at the Qi Condensation Stage, his spiritual power was profound and his sword techniques were tricky. That Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator was beaten into an extremely battered state by him, lacking even the power to fight back.

On the other side, the Tianjian Sect Early Foundation Establishment male and female Cultivators joined forces to besiege another Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Two against one, that fellow was soon pierced through the throat by a sword and collapsed to the ground, dying.

"There are two left!" The Middle Foundation Establishment male Cultivator roared, forcing Liu Shan back with a single move and turning to rush toward the last Early Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

That fellow turned pale with fright and wanted to run, but his head was sliced off by the female Cultivator with a single sword strike.

In the blink of an eye, all three Early Foundation Establishment Cultivators were completely wiped out!

Only Liu Shan remained!

His face was ashen as he stared at Xiao Yuan, the anger in his eyes almost spitting out: "It is you! It is you again! The one who blew me up last night is you!"

He recognized Xiao Yuan from his spiritual power and Aura.

Xiao Yuan grinned: "Yo, you still remember me? Are your injuries healed? You ran pretty fast."

Liu Shan gnashed his teeth: "Brat, today you are dead for sure!"

Black mist surged around his body, and his Aura violently soared. With a casual lift of his hand, he sucked the corpse of a Foundation Establishment companion in front of him and thrust a claw into the other's Dantian.

The powerful blood-qi force was instantly sucked into Liu Shan's body.

Xiao Yuan's expression changed, and he quickly retreated: "Careful! He's going to devour the corpses and use a secret technique!"

At the same time, an eerie blood-red light spread out from Liu Shan's body, sucking the remaining three Early Foundation Establishment corpses in front of him. Enveloped by the blood-qi force, it actually formed a blood cocoon!

"Not good!" Seeing this scene, the Tianjian Sect male Cultivator thrust his sword forward. The sword radiance slashed onto the blood-red light cocoon, but it only stirred up a wave of ripples and couldn't break it open at all!

The female Cultivator also rushed up, and the two joined forces to launch a fierce attack, but that light barrier didn't move at all!

The three corpses shriveled down at a speed visible to the naked eye, their essence blood transforming into blood-red currents that madly poured into Liu Shan's body!

His Aura climbed step by step! Xiao Yuan raised his sword and slashed as well, but he simply couldn't slash open the blood cocoon!

Late Foundation Establishment Stage... Peak Foundation Establishment!

"Hahahaha!" Liu Shan looked up and laughed wildly, blood mist surging around his body, his eyes filled with madness. "Brat, you forced me to use a secret technique twice! Today, I will tear you to pieces!"

"Last time, you had a Formation self-detonation. This time, this seat wants to see what else can save you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression turned ugly.

Peak Foundation Establishment.

How the hell is this supposed to be fought?
