139: Kill the Foundation Establishment Monk

"Buzz~"

Tens of thousands of Black Crystal Bee Swarm covered the Robber Cultivators like a black cloud. Soon, they discovered with horror that their usual practiced techniques became difficult, and an uncontrollable fear arose in their hearts, making it hard to calm their minds.

Divine Soul interference!

These buzzing sounds actually contained the power of Divine Soul interference.

Some knowledgeable black-clothed men immediately took out Medicinal Pills such as Clear Heart Pills, Soul Calming Pills, and Spirit Awakening Pills, or activated defensive Talismans like Shielding Talismans, Soul Guarding Talismans, and Calming Talismans.

Afterward, these people used escape techniques and secret methods, quickly fleeing out of the valley.

Seeing the battle situation instantly reverse, the Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivator hidden outside the valley felt a surge of anger.

With a thought from his Divine Thought, a bright yellow Flying Sword transformed into a sword light and flew into the Black Crystal Bee Swarm.

"Pfft~"

They died upon contact. The Black Crystal Bees were powerless before the bright yellow Flying Sword, continuously turning into dust.

Ten breaths later, the Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivator frowned tightly. The Flying Sword circled once and flew back to his side.

There were too many Black Crystal Bees. Unless a large-scale killing move was used, it would be impossible to kill them all one by one in a short time.

The commotion in Ice Blue Valley was so great that White Crane Lake would soon receive the news and rush over. Prolonging the fight would only result in returning empty-handed.

Directly using a large-scale killing move was also not ideal. Not to mention whether he could kill so many Black Crystal Bees at once, there were still hundreds of Robber Cultivators in the swarm.

If he killed all these Robber Cultivators along with the bees, he alone would find it difficult to break through the Bai Family Formation in a short time.

Not only that, watching his black-clothed subordinates being killed by the Black Crystal Bees one after another, he suddenly realized that the key issue was not breaking through the Bai Family Formation, but how to retreat safely!

These black-clothed Robber Cultivators were hard-earned manpower. Without them, would he have to personally act every time in the future?

The reason he had been able to survive in Yongning for so many years without incident was because of these Robber Cultivators acting as a cover.

If he had to act personally every time, he would have died countless times by now.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. His body moved with his sword, instantly appearing above the Formation.

Magic power surged, and the bright yellow Flying Sword emitted a scorching light, striking the ice shield of the Formation with one sword strike.

"Boom~"

The Formation's ice shield vibrated violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly, then quickly recovered from their ends.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

...With continuous full-power sword strikes, the cracks on the Formation's ice shield had no time to recover and immediately expanded again.

Inside the Formation, Bai Lingfeng fully controlled the Formation, repairing the cracks in the ice shield. His magic power was rapidly depleting, and his face turned pale, as if he could collapse at any moment.

He turned to look at Liu Xuan beside him, not speaking, but his meaning was clear: he wanted Liu Xuan to control the Black Crystal Bees for support, to help him defend the Formation first.

As long as the Formation could be held, this crisis would be safely overcome. Killing those Robber Cultivators was not important.

Liu Xuan hesitated slightly.

He was considering the possibility of killing this Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivator at this opportune moment, as well as the risks and rewards involved.

'Let's give it a try!'

This was an opportunity not to be missed. Liu Xuan instantly made up his mind.

A blood-red small sword flew out from his sleeve. The small sword was entirely blood-red, covered with tiny patterns resembling blood vessels.

A strong scent of blood spread, and a nauseating killing intent grew with the enlarging sword light.

talisman treasure, Red Pine Magic Sword!

Ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators could not control this level of attack at all. Even if they forced its use, it would at most unleash one or two tenths of its power, and they might even suffer a backlash and injury if they were not careful.

Liu Xuan was different. He had a Clear Sword Heart and had mastered the Nine Luminaries Sword Intent, allowing him to easily unleash more than five tenths of the Talisman Sword's power.

If his Red Pine Sword Technique had reached Minor Achievement and he had comprehended a part of the Slaughter Sword Intent, he could even unleash eighty to ninety percent of its power, making it difficult for Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators to resist head-on.

Bai Lingfeng, who had been watching Liu Xuan, was stunned. He felt immense pressure from the blood-red sword light beside Liu Xuan, and for a moment, even his control of the Formation became sluggish.

"Crack~"

A large hole broke open in the ice shield, and the Formation's light dimmed, on the verge of completely shattering.

"Hm?"

Outside the Formation, the Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivator's heart was filled with joy. Attacking the Formation was originally an expedient measure to attract the Black Crystal Bees back for support and facilitate his subordinates' retreat. Could there be an unexpected gain?

Just as he was about to strike while the iron was hot and shatter the Formation's ice shield in one fell swoop, a blood-colored sword light flew out from the hole, carrying astonishing Sword Intent and stabbing towards him.

"talisman treasure!!!"

"Xiao Ran?"

Without time to think, he instinctively controlled his bright yellow Flying Sword to meet it head-on.

"Boom!!"

The bright yellow color faded, and the blood-red light cut through the sky, continuing to stab towards the black-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

A green light flashed in the black-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator's hand, and a huge leaf blocked in front of him.

"Dong!!"

The blood-colored sword light pierced through the 'green leaf,' then passed through the black-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator, after which his entire body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into dust and ashes... "Pfft~"

Dozens of meters away, the black-robed man appeared out of thin air. His face was ghastly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mist. A Talisman in his hand turned into a faint light and dissipated.

'That was close!'

Thinking of that scene just now, if it weren't for a top-grade Tier 2 Life Substitute Talisman, he might have... 'Too insidious!'

He recalled everything that happened today. All his plans had probably been seen through by others. Perhaps this Bai Family of Ice Blue Valley was a bait specifically designed for him, and everything was to lure him into the trap!

'Xiao Ran, you little brat, I underestimated you!'

'I will definitely avenge this grudge someday!'

His figure gradually faded, and he hid in the night, fleeing out of the valley.

The Life Substitute Talisman had a miraculous effect, capable of instantly creating a substitute to withstand a fatal blow at a crucial moment, while the main body teleported dozens of meters away.

However, using it required a huge price, consuming a large amount of Divine Soul and magic power simultaneously. Repeated use in a short period could even drain him dry.

His magic power was now depleted, and his Divine Soul was severely consumed, equivalent to a serious injury. He couldn't bother with those Robber Cultivator subordinates and only wanted to escape first.

A moment later, a similarly black-robed person appeared where the black-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator had left. She exuded a cold aura all over her body.

At the same time, a huge Black Crystal Bee silently emerged, precisely the Black Crystal Bee Queen hidden in the swarm.

The Bee Queen's nostrils flared, then she led Little Shadow to chase in the direction the black-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator had fled... In a forest ten li away from Ice Blue Valley.

The black-robed man hid under a large tree. He took out a healing Medicinal Pill and consumed it, then took out a Replenishing Pill and consumed it, wanting to rest for a while to recover some combat strength.

"Hm?"

The temperature suddenly dropped, and at the same time, a faint buzzing sound began.

He instantly reacted, his figure swayed, and he activated his escape technique, intending to continue fleeing.

"Bang!"

A black shadow blocked him. After a simple exchange, he was shaken back repeatedly.

Little Shadow's Tier 1 magic robe shattered, revealing her dark golden skin on her chest.

"Refined Corpse!"

"Who exactly are you?"

He received no response. A piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out behind him.

"Ah!!"

His vision suddenly became blurry, and he immediately felt the world spinning...
