17: Secret Realm Change
Li Haotian's back once again had two flying swords appear, and he looked at the young man, a fierce look appearing on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, you want the storage bag on my person? Then feel free to come and take it."
As his voice fell, two flying swords flew above his head, their tips faintly pointing at that young man.
The young man chuckled and said, "Controlling two flying swords is indeed a good magic technique, but it consumes too much magic power. This gongzi doesn't believe you have such abundant magic power."
As his voice fell, the folding fan in his hand lightly shook, and nine needle-shaped magic artifacts shot towards Li Haotian.
A semi-circular light shield formed in front of Li Haotian, and the two flying swords turned into eighteen, two by two, one in front and one behind, colliding with the flying needles.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang..."
The flying needle magic artifacts collided with Li Haotian's flying swords, and only eight silver needles were knocked away, with the remaining one continuing to attack.
The light shield in front of Li Haotian blocked it for a moment, and the silver needle directly pierced into his body.
"This..."
Li Haotian seemed to have seen something unbelievable, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
The young man had no doubts, a joyful smile appeared on his face, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a dull gray flying sword had already arrived in front of him.
At this moment, even if the young man wanted to dodge, it was too late. He couldn't help but shout, "You can't kill me, my father is Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor! If you kill me, he will never let you go! Ah..."
Li Haotian ignored him, the flying sword passed through the young man's body, turned the sword body behind him, and instantly cut off his head.
After doing this, the flying sword turned into a stream of light and fell into the jade talisman hidden under Li Haotian's sleeve.
This jade talisman was precisely a talisman treasure that Li Haotian had obtained from a Heavenly Dragon Sect disciple. Unfortunately, it could only be used three times.
Li Haotian didn't hesitate at all, quickly grabbed the storage bag from the young man's body, and rapidly disappeared from the spot.
...
On the other side, after the White-robed Old Man snatched the nine-colored dragon fruit, he quickly fled towards the distance. The Three Great Sects cultivators and some rogue cultivators followed closely behind.
No one was willing to give up the nine-colored dragon fruit. This was a good thing. If obtained, whether it was exchanged for cultivation resources or consumed oneself, it was an extraordinary item.
They pursued him either because they felt their cultivation was not bad and they could snatch the nine-colored dragon fruit, or they were blinded by the nine-colored dragon fruit.
Unfortunately, they did not know how powerful the White-robed Old Man in front of them was.
Feeling the Foundation Establishment Cultivators relentlessly pursuing him from behind, the White-robed Old Man's expression turned ugly, and he coldly said, "Ants, retreat."
As his voice fell, his entire body disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in the crowd.
The White-robed Old Man actually rushed into the crowd, looking as if he was seeking death.
But in reality, the old man was like a killing god. How could these Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators be his opponents? A talisman treasure appeared in his hand, killing a large area with one strike.
Before long, whether they were from the Three Great Sects or the rogue cultivators who had caught up, most of them had fallen to the ground.
Many cultivators' eyes were filled with unwillingness, looking at the old man in disbelief.
Heavenly Dragon Sect's Dragon Aotian coldly said, "You are not a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Who exactly are you? How did you get in?"
Hundred Flowers Valley's Camellia's eyes flickered, as if she had made a certain decision.
The Linhai Pavilion cultivators were the same, a jade talisman appeared in their hands, coldly staring at the White-robed Old Man.
The White-robed Old Man looked at their actions, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Hehehe, you don't need to know who this old ancestor is. Do you really think the things in your hands can deal with this old ancestor?"
As his voice fell, the aura on his body greatly increased, actually surpassing the Foundation Establishment Peak and reaching the legendary pseudo-Golden Core Stage.
The pseudo-Golden Core Stage is not a cultivation realm, but merely a symptom that occurs when some Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators fail to break through.
Their strength is stronger than the Foundation Establishment Stage, but much weaker than the Nascent Soul. Their lifespan does not increase, and their cultivation path is also cut off.
"Pseudo-golden core?"
"Quick, kill!"
As his voice fell, the jade talismans in the hands of the three shattered, and powerful attacks struck towards the White-robed Old Man.
The White-robed Old Man was not afraid at all, a magic treasure appeared in his hand - the Yin Ghost Banner.
"Hehehe, this old ancestor didn't want to use it, but you forced this old ancestor!"
As his voice fell, thousands of yin ghosts flew out from the Yin Ghost Banner, each with qi refining stage late stage cultivation, and there were also hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage yin ghosts. The most powerful yin ghost had also reached the pseudo-golden core realm.
It wasn't that the most powerful yin ghost in this magic treasure was only at the pseudo-golden core realm, but rather that the White-robed Old Man didn't dare to release more powerful existences. If he released them, he would be instantly squeezed out.
At this time, he was not prepared and couldn't just leave like this.
Three attacks struck towards the White-robed Old Man, but they were quickly blocked by the yin ghosts and couldn't get close to the White-robed Old Man at all.
Dragon Aotian gritted his teeth and said, "Camellia, Yu Xin, if we don't act now, we're probably going to die here."
Camellia said, "Please invite the old ancestor. The opponent is not someone we can contend with."
Yu Xin took out another jade talisman and said, "I hope this can kill that Old Guy."
He was not someone who procrastinated. Since he had made up his mind, he shattered the jade talisman without hesitation.
Dragon Aotian and the other two did the same.
Three jade talismans shattered, and three powerful phantoms appeared in the Nine Dragon Secret Realm.
The White-robed Old Man couldn't help but shout, "Damn it, it's actually you three old monsters! You forced me! Yin Ghost Banner, kill for this old ancestor!"
As his voice fell, dozens of Golden Core Stage yin ghosts flew out from the Yin Ghost Banner and charged towards the three phantoms.
The three phantoms were extremely powerful, each with golden core late stage cultivation, and these yin ghosts were no match for them at all.
The yin ghosts were no match for them at all. The three golden core late stage phantoms destroyed the yin ghosts with a wave of their hands, breaking Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor's magic treasure.
"Damn it, you three wait for this old ancestor! This old ancestor will definitely not let you go!" Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor roared in anger as his magic treasure was broken.
The three golden core late stage phantoms seemed to have no intelligence and directly charged towards Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor.
Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor's expression changed slightly, and the aura on his body suddenly erupted, instantly reaching the Golden Core Peak.
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, the Nine Dragon Secret Realm seemed unable to bear the burden, emitting a loud bang. A part of the area shattered, secret realm fragments flew everywhere, and the powerful space force squeezed Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor, making him feel suffocated.
At the same time, the three phantoms shattered, and their energy dissipated in the secret realm.
Just at this moment, everyone in the Nine Dragon Secret Realm was expelled from the secret realm by a powerful force.
Li Haotian was just about to examine the spoils of war, and before he could take out all the resources, he felt a powerful repulsive force.
Without hesitation, all the storage bags entered the Qiankun Bag. The powerful repulsive force made it difficult for him to hold on.
Just at this moment, a secret realm fragment of over a hundred cubic meters flew from not far away. From the rich spiritual energy on it, it could be seen that there must be a spiritual vein on it.
With a big grab, he grabbed this fragment and directly threw it into the Qiankun Bag before disappearing.
...
"Audacious Scarlet Mountain Old Monster, how dare you cause trouble in the Nine Dragon Secret Realm! Hand over the nine-colored dragon fruit quickly, otherwise you will have no place to stand on the Nine Dragon Peninsula!"
Outside the Nine Dragon Secret Realm, the three golden core middle stage powerhouses from the Three Great Sects surrounded Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor.
Although the three elders surrounded Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor, they did not dare to act rashly.
Scarlet Mountain Old Ancestor was not simple. He was an old monster at the Golden Core Peak. Even if he was injured, he was not someone that the three golden core middle stage cultivators could resist.
