Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 740 Burned to Ashes

Han Shanyue felt a flash of five-colored light, and the target disappeared from his sight. His attack, which he thought would kill the target in one blow, missed.

At this moment, Ji An flew three or four miles away and stopped to observe the two enemies on his left and right.

"If you're not from the Xuan Yin Sect, then who are you?"

He could sense that the enemy who ambushed him was definitely more than the Nascent Soul stage, and he automatically ignored Zhu Changhe.

He's just a defeated opponent; in a direct, hard-fought battle, he wouldn't last more than fifteen minutes.

This is his confidence—confidence born from perfected magic and the mid-grade Gengxin Metal Dao Seed, confidence tested in actual combat.

Han Shanyue retrieved the magical artifact that had flown out; it was a black doll with a stiff face and a sinister feeling that sent chills down one's spine in its dull, yellowish-brown eyes.

Instead of answering the question, he asked in return:
"A flying technique that flashes with five-colored light, and at such a fast speed, could it be the Five Elements Sect's secret technique, the Golden Light Across the Earth?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed throughout the space, as if many echoes were continuously prolonging the sound's propagation.

Just as Zhu Changhe was about to unleash his magic weapon to attack, he was surprised that the other two did not immediately engage in combat. So he remained on guard and did not join the attack immediately.

He was no match for them; launching an attack rashly would only draw the enemy's attention.

If the enemy uses him as a point of attack, he may very well become that point of attack.

Ji An narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously:
"You, a demon cultivator, also know about the Five Elements Sect's 'Golden Light Across the Earth'?"

The Five Elements Sect's lineage had been severed for over 100,000 years. If he hadn't met True Lord Lianshan, perhaps this lineage would never have seen the light of day again.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Central Continent might not be able to immediately recall the name of the spell, but they never expected that a demon cultivator in the Western Continent would recognize it so readily, which made them feel a sense of absurd unreality.

A mocking smile appeared on Han Shanyue's lips.
"Demon cultivators? Heh heh, we are holy cultivators."

"As expected of an arrogant cultivator from the Five Elements Sect! Your arrogance hasn't perished along with the gates of the Myriad Transformations Mountain Range!"

According to their ancestors' oral accounts, they were chosen to cultivate demonic cultivation methods because they were test subjects for several major sects who wanted to create killers who could replace cultivators in fighting against the true demon realm.

They were forced into this situation and had no choice but to accept it.

Although they survived the attack on the Five Elements Sect because they practiced demonic cultivation techniques, their ancestors harbored deep hatred for the major sects that led the attack, especially for the Five Elements Sect.

Before becoming a demonic cultivator, my ancestor was a disciple of a vassal family of the Five Elements Sect. Before that, my ancestor never imagined that relying on the Five Elements Sect would bring despair.

Ji An raised an eyebrow. "Saint Cultivator? Just who are you?"

Even those in the Central Continent who practice demonic cultivation techniques refer to themselves as demon cultivators, not holy cultivators.

At this moment, he had some guesses about the origin of his target.

"Who am I? Hehe, I'm the one who will kill you!"
Remember this well: the one who killed you was Han Shanyue of the Han clan.

With a strange sense of pleasure, Han Shanyue made a hand seal and his figure disappeared, completely merging into the demonic energy.

At this moment, Ji An was grateful to the Dao Ancestor for bestowing upon him a pair of discerning eyes, because he was able to 'see' an outline approaching him.

However, he only glanced at it and then looked away, pretending not to see it, while showing a slight hint of tension and panic on his face.

Since the enemy dared to approach him, then he should be treated well.

He rode a colorful auspicious cloud and flew a distance away. Acting should be realistic; this is about an actor's self-cultivation.

Ji An thought to himself, 'This grandson's name sounds a bit like my disciple's.'

Han Shanyue was slowly circling around, using demonic energy as his best cover. He did this because he realized that if he couldn't subdue his target instantly, he wouldn't be able to catch up once the opponent released the golden light that leaped across the ground.

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret not listening to Zhu Changhe's words. If he had reported to Morag, the three of them might have already dealt with their opponent.

Morag is a Nascent Soul Level 6 cultivator with powerful and swift attacks; a surprise attack would have a high chance of success.

Seeing that his companions had gone invisible, Zhu Changhe had no choice but to launch an attack, as he needed to buy time for his companions.

So, he activated his defensive magic weapon to protect himself while simultaneously manipulating three bone spears to prepare for attack.

Ji An did not release the spell immediately; he wanted to create an opportunity for the hidden enemy.

He gave the magical artifact a command, and the white tiger transformed from the plain-colored cloud banner roared, as countless silver flying swords scattered around him and began to circle rapidly in a clockwise direction.

A fire phoenix circled overhead, creating a crimson cloud of fire.

These flying swords could block the incoming bone spears, while Huo Yun made a gesture to convince the rapidly approaching, invisible enemy that he had something to rely on, which was why he didn't choose to run away immediately.

The Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise circled closely around him, ready to respond to any unexpected situations.

His target was not Zhu Changhe, whom he had previously interacted with, because he knew the other party posed no danger.

He didn't know the enemy's cultivation level, but judging from the emanating pressure, the enemy was above the first level of the Nascent Soul stage but not yet at the middle stage.

He wanted to test the practical performance of the Taibai Extinguishing Spirit Sword after the Gengxin Metal Dao Seed was upgraded to the middle grade, since the Dao Seed was still of the low grade when he fought Zhu Changhe.

Ji An's hand seals shifted, and he formed a hand gesture to release the Taibai Extinction Sword, drawing it back but not unleashing it. A three-foot-long silver flying sword appeared, with faint patterns on its blade.

At this moment, Zhu Changhe launched an attack because Han Shanyue had already reached the attack position. As a fellow demonic cultivator, he could sense his companion's movement trajectory.

His purpose in launching the attack was to confuse the enemy and prepare for his comrades to make their move.

Ji An also sensed that the invisible enemy had reached a very subtle position, appearing about 200 feet to his side and behind him.

Han Shanyue waited intently, anticipating Ji An's response to the attack. He reasoned that launching an attack while the enemy was distracted would increase the chances of success.

Ji An turned around abruptly and activated the Taibai Extinction Sword the instant his gaze fell upon his target.

A flash of silver light, like a thunderclap, instantly illuminated the area that had been shrouded in black mist for many years.

He ignored the approaching three bone spears, confident not only in his attack but also in his defense.

Han Shanyue had not expected that the enemy would be able to discover his location and launch an attack. The speed of the flying sword also exceeded his expectations. He only felt a flash of light before the attack was right in front of him.

The black puppet was activated, suddenly grew larger, and blocked his way. This puppet was his offensive weapon, and could also be used as a defensive weapon in emergencies.

The doll that was supposed to block Morag's axe attack failed to achieve its intended effect; the silver flying sword passed through it silently, as effortlessly as a hot knife through butter.

The next moment, a silver light burst forth in Han Shanyue's eyes, piercing his chest, and then a raging surge of metal elemental energy erupted within his body.

His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but his pupils were already dilated, and his body fell downwards.

"Oh!"

The body crashed heavily to the ground, raising a few specks of dust, as if the end of an era had come.

Upon seeing Han Shanyue's fate, Zhu Changhe was so frightened that his hair immediately stood on end, and his body suddenly shattered into countless black crows that fled.

Ji An had not expected that the enemy would be killed in one blow. The Taibai Extinction Sword was flying much faster than before, making it even more difficult to dodge at close range.

The flock of black crows flew away. Ji An shook his head in frustration, activated the Tai Bai Extinction Sword that he had already condensed, and killed several of the flying black crows.

If he knew that the invisible enemy was all show and no substance and could be instantly killed, he would definitely unleash the Blazing Inferno immediately after casting his spell.

Doing this would severely damage even without killing any members of the Xuan Yin Sect.

Ji Anfei flew to the corpse and found a Void Stone bracelet. At this moment, he discovered that the black doll, which had also been attacked, shattered into pieces like a porcelain doll, and then melted quickly like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun.

He casually activated the Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame to purify and burn the enemy's corpse, thus obtaining some ashes from the Nascent Soul level.

For the spirit field in the gourd world, these ashes are a great tonic, ensuring a rapid advancement to the fourth rank.

He wasn't worried at all about the fleeing enemy. He was currently outside the protective mountain formation, so the enemy couldn't do anything to him.

Zhu Changhe flew to the Demon Cave, found the true demon Morag, and said in fear:

"My lord, something terrible has happened! Han Zhenjun... he's been killed by an enemy!"

Morag suddenly stood up, grabbed Zhu Changhe by the neck with one hand, and easily lifted him up:

"Explain what happened."

His tone was cold. Han Shanyue was the strategist assigned to him by the Holy Alliance, but he died before he could play a greater role, which enraged him.

He watched as Zhu Changhe struggled to his death throes, then let go and threw him aside.

"what happened?"

Zhu Changhe cursed inwardly, but his face showed no sign of displeasure.

He recounted the entire story, from beginning to end, saying:
"Unexpectedly, although the enemy's cultivation level was not high, he was able to unleash extremely powerful attack spells. Han Zhenjun's attempts to block with his magic weapon were completely useless."

He could sense that the enemy's attacks were much stronger, which was completely illogical!

Morag's face was so dark it seemed water could drip from it, and he gritted his teeth as he said:

"Lead the way, let's go see where the battle took place."

He can deduce the enemy's spell level from the traces, and then make targeted arrangements.

No one can kill his people without paying the price; blood must be paid for, if he can find an enemy.

The two flew one after the other to the place where the battle had taken place.

Zhu Changhe could see the burning flames and the figure beside them from afar. Pointing ahead, he said excitedly:

"Lord Mo, that person is the murderer!"

A Nascent Soul Level 3 cultivator is no match for you, but what about a Nascent Soul Level 6 cultivator?!
At that moment, Ji An had just purified the enemy's body with the spiritual fire of heaven and earth and burned it into ashes.
