Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 406 Killing
On the white bone spirit boat, several cultivators from the Earthly Fiend Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The other side actually encountered a fellow disciple? Hehe, the little vixen is quite pretty, we can have some fun later."

"You lust-driven idiot, judging from the other party's level, their fellow disciples are also quite strong."

If it's a powerful cultivator, we probably won't be able to defeat the enemy.

"Come on, after such a long escape, the enemy is already at their last gasp."

Just focus on that female cultivator; we're not Sangza!

They pursued in a white bone spirit boat, with the four of them taking turns controlling it and using spirit stones as power. Their condition was far better than that of their enemies.

The one-eyed monk said coldly:
"Stop arguing! In any case, these two cultivators must die today!"

The enemy is already within attack range; attack freely.

At the summit, Han Yan saw her junior brother being attacked and immediately summoned a puppet, along with the Sun-Devouring Pearl.

She had originally intended to use the clouds to find her junior brother Ji, but seeing Liu Yu's perilous situation, she realized it was too late.

Using a blood pact to contact the golden-feathered eagle circling overhead, she hastily issued the order:
'Looking for Junior Brother Ji for help.'

The beast let out a roar and suddenly soared into the air, beginning its search for the familiar cultivator.

After finishing the preparations, Han Yan called out:

"Junior Brother Liu, come down!"

Liu Yu was stunned. She had actually run into a fellow disciple, but this disciple was an alchemist and probably lacked combat experience.

With mixed feelings, he flew towards her. If he had known it was his senior sister there, he probably wouldn't have flown in this direction.

If it were a positional war, the cultivators of the Earthly Fiend Sect would be very strong, and the opposing side would all have black zombies at the Chaoyuan stage, so their chances of winning would be slim.

However, there was no time for him to think further. He hurriedly dodged the enemy's magical weapon and landed on the mountaintop.

Han Yan seized the opportunity and activated the Sun-Devouring Pearl. A crimson flame shockwave swept towards the White Bone Spirit Boat, forcing the enemy to take cover.

She transmitted her voice to Liu Yu:
"Hold on a little longer, my tamed beast has gone to ask Junior Brother Ji for help."

A hint of joy flickered in Liu Yu's worried eyes. He and his junior brother Ji often sparred when they were in the Foundation Establishment stage, and he knew that the other was a powerful cultivator who was hiding his true strength.

Although he has been steadily cultivating spirit trees on Crimson Flame Peak, in terms of combat power, he is definitely among the top in the sect's cultivators at the Chaoyuan stage.

"Then I'm relieved. Otherwise, I would be filled with anxiety and fear if I implicated my senior sister."

Liu Yu squeezed out the little magic power he had left, activated the Fiery Golden Wheel, and watched the sky warily.

"Haha, you actually dare to fight the disciples of the Earthly Fiend Sect on the ground, I admire your courage."

The one-eyed cultivator laughed maliciously, knowing that if the other party kept flying away, they would have no choice but to wait it out.

Now, with four cultivators at the Chaoyuan stage plus four black zombies besieging two cultivators of the same level, he really doesn't know how he can lose!
"Fellow disciples, let's go down and meet the enemy!"

"Hehe, my darling is already thirsting for blood, only the blood and wails of cultivators can satisfy him."

The golden-feathered eagle and golden-winged bird puppets hovered in the sky, carefully surveying the area.

After absorbing eighteen strands of Qi, Ji An slowly finished his practice and found a relatively open space to begin practicing the Golden Jade Bone Body Technique.

The body-refining technique does not consume the spirit soul, making it perfect for practice now.

By nourishing the physical body with the power of the Chaoyuan stage, one can improve their cultivation level relatively quickly, even without using any external aids.

These days, with the daily intake of monster meat at the Chaoyuan stage, Ji An feels that his body-refining technique has reached a bottleneck.

As the exercise was practiced, the body's Qi and blood surged like a river, and the skin glowed with a silvery light.

He suddenly took a step forward and threw a punch, the air exploded, and endless power surged from the soles of his feet.

At that moment, his heart suddenly contracted, and then Ji An felt a surge of heat rush from his heart, instantly reaching his limbs and bones.

At the same time, the great dragon of the spine leaped up from the tailbone, rushed straight up to the back of the head, and a large amount of white mist emanated from his scalp, indicating that he had achieved the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Ji An clenched his fist lightly, feeling an expansion that made him feel as if he could smash a mountain with a single punch. He knew this was an illusion caused by the rapid increase in his physical strength.

Under the sunlight, he looked at his skin, which emitted a dull silver glow, and felt the strength of his powerful physique. He nodded in satisfaction.

The ultimate pursuit of body cultivators is to cultivate their bodies to be as solid as a magic weapon. His current body cultivation level has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs all showed varying degrees of improvement in both strength and resilience.

He can now kill a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast with his bare fists without needing to cast spells.

Ji An laughed heartily three times. The Foundation Establishment stage belongs to the Silver Armor level. In the future, he will surely be able to step into the Golden Armor level and become a body cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage.

And all of this did not waste much of his time.

Just then, the cry of a golden eagle came from afar, and the Golden Feather Palace above responded with a clear call.

The two golden eagles huddled together and began to cry out urgently.

Ji An frowned slightly. His senior sister's tamed beasts always followed the other person, so why did they suddenly come here?

As he was pondering, his tamed beast initiated a mental communication:
"Enemy attack!"

Ji An immediately understood, released the Mixed Gold Armor Spell and the Rock Mountain Technique, and then summoned the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner and the Lidi Flame Banner, with a pale golden auspicious cloud rising beneath his feet.

If we were to discuss which of the Five Elements Clouds a cultivator in the Chaoyuan stage could ride at the fastest speed, it would undoubtedly be the Metal Cloud.

"Lead the way!" Ji An rode the clouds into the sky and summoned the Storm Thunder Eagle.

Han Yan and her companion were surrounded by enemies, and the attacks came wave after wave. They could only defend themselves and had no way to fight back.

The enemy coordinated well, and their attacks were hampered, making it difficult for them to achieve any results.

"Little wench, your magic weapon is pretty good, it can even hurt our corpse refinement!"

But that's the end of it. You'll be thoroughly dealt with by us and die in despair.

Of course, you'll experience a different kind of pleasure before you die!

The Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators launched their attack while simultaneously harassing the enemy with words.

The opponent was actually wielding a second-tier top-grade fire-elemental artifact. Caught off guard, the corpse's outer skin was charred.

The group was both shocked and furious, and they said disgusting things to distract their opponents.

Han Yan was furious. She gritted her teeth and activated the Sun-Devouring Pearl above her head, which condensed into a pillar of fire as thick as a water bucket, and launched an attack on the foul-mouthed cultivator.

The cultivator used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to easily evade attacks).

The cultivators of the Earthly Fiend Sect in the Origin Stage, besides mastering the secret techniques of corpse refining, are most proficient in the technique of earth escape.

"Hehe, come and hit me, you can't hit me!"

"How dare you oppose our Earthly Fiend Sect! After killing you, we will extract your souls and annihilate the forces behind you!"

The monk was full of sarcasm; the angrier the enemy was, the faster he would consume his mana and the faster he would be defeated.

The one-eyed cultivator caught sight of a golden cloud, gleaming like lightning, flying straight towards them from the horizon. Startled, he exclaimed:
"Be on guard, more cultivators are coming."

After reminding his fellow disciples, he shouted loudly:
"When the Earthly Fiends Sect is handling matters, those who are not involved should stay away!"

In the past, he would have told them to get lost, but he wanted to deal with the cultivator in front of him as soon as possible and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

The Earthly Fiends Sect, what a small world!
Ji An maneuvered the auspicious cloud to a stop in the air, and began searching for any remaining enemies.

After searching once, he asked the Golden-feathered Eagle if it had found anything. His steed let out a short hiss, indicating that it had not found anything.

Ji An urged the Golden Clouds to fly away at an even faster speed, finally landing on the outskirts of the Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators.

Sensing that things had taken another turn for the worse, the one-eyed cultivator said angrily:
Do you know what you're doing? I advise you to watch your step!

Ji An smiled and flicked his fingers, turning the earth into steel—a necessary spell for dealing with cultivators of the Earthly Fiend Sect. It could cut off their escape routes.

As long as these cultivators cannot escape underground, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.

"Turning the earth into steel?!"

The one-eyed monk cried out in surprise, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Ji An remained silent, focusing all his energy on manipulating the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword.

After breaking through to the fourth level of the Chaoyuan stage, the power of his metal element spell was significantly enhanced compared to when he killed another group of Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators ten years ago.

Thousands upon thousands of silver flying swords appeared before everyone's eyes. Then, the flying swords moved like lightning, their light suddenly brightening, and two Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators, riddled with wounds, slowly collapsed to the ground.

The two black zombies, now freed from their restraints, turned and pounced on Ji An. With their departure, the siege that Liu Yu and his companion were facing was naturally resolved.

Ignoring the black zombies rushing towards him, Ji An turned to face the Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators and once again activated the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword to launch an attack.

The cultivators were his primary targets; he couldn't allow them a chance to escape. As for the few black zombies, they were easy to deal with.

The Flame Banner, rising from the ground, transformed into a fire phoenix, wreathed in crimson-gold light, and plunged headlong into the black zombie.

Liu Yu was very sensitive to the rhythm of the battle. When he saw Ji An's movements, he immediately turned around and attacked the Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators behind them.

Moments later, all four cultivators and the four black zombies perished.

Ji An skillfully stripped the valuables off the enemy's body, then gathered the corpses together and began the final burning.

Thick black smoke billowed, and a foul stench filled the air.

Once everything had turned to ashes, the three scattered the ashes and quickly left this unclean place.

Han Yan asked:

"Junior brother, why are these Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators attacking you?"

She was very curious about the reason for the incident, and could roughly judge what dangers she would face in the future by looking at the clues.

"The conflict arose because of a mature spiritual herb, Earth Soul Ginseng, which is one of the main ingredients of the Earth Origin Soul-Soothing Pill."

Those cultivators from the Earthly Fiend Sect tried to force me to hand over the spiritual herbs, but I refused on the spot.

Liu Yu briefly recounted the cause and course of events, and then said:
"Back then, I cut off one of the monk's legs, which triggered their frenzied pursuit."

"I've implicated my senior sister and junior brother; I'll have to be more careful around the Earthly Fiend Sect in the future."

Han Yan smiled and said, "Junior brother, you're too kind. We're fellow disciples, so of course we should help each other when we're traveling."

Besides, my junior brother Ji and I had a conflict with the Earthly Fiend Sect disciples several years ago. We were camping in the wilderness when they ambushed us!

The feud was already settled, so I don't care if there's one more.
