Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 445 A Scam by Capital

Xu Yunfan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and at the same time, with a flick of his wrist, he hung the Zhenwu Sword, which he had been cultivating and which was now circulating in his Qi Sea, at his waist.

"Hahaha!"

The black-robed master suddenly burst into wild laughter, the sound so loud that pine needles around him fell in a rustling sound.

Xu Yunfan's eyes twitched slightly. This kind of person would laugh for no reason from time to time, which was really embarrassing.

"I am Li Baichuan. I have heard that you have attained the Divine Martial Dao Foundation and are cultivating the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture?"

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow: "So you're a senior brother from Blood Fiend Peak. May I ask what brings you here?"

Li Baichuan, a Foundation Establishment True Person of Blood Fiend Peak, practices the Path of Blood Fiend Refining. The disciples of Blood Fiend Peak cultivate the "Nine Hells Devouring Life Blood Fiend Gathering Soul True Scripture," which refines the evil energy of heaven and earth into their own bodies and gathers and condenses the life soul to help strengthen their divine consciousness.

Li Baichuan's laughter abruptly stopped, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "I've come specifically to borrow the Arctic Demon-Slaying Qi within you!"

The Arctic's demon-slaying aura?
It seems this old man also knows the cultivation techniques of the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture.

Xu Yunfan's expression remained unchanged, his gaze as sharp as lightning as he stared directly at Li Baichuan, his voice steady yet cold: "The Northern Demon-Slaying Qi is a righteous energy gathered from heaven and earth, following the grand and upright path, while the Blood Fiend Soul-Generating Path you cultivate uses evil techniques to refine souls and steal people's essence and blood. These two are righteous and evil, incompatible as water and fire. If you forcibly refine it, I'm afraid that before the fiendish energy dissipates, you will be burned to ashes by this Demon-Slaying True Fire, ending up with your body and soul destroyed."

Li Baichuan sneered: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who doesn't know anything about this? If you know what's good for you, take out the Arctic Demon-Slaying Qi. Out of consideration for our shared sect, I will naturally spare your life."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but flash a hint of mockery.

The Northern Demon-Slaying Qi is the crucial foundation upon which he condensed his Dao foundation using the Qi of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. If it were to be drawn away, his Dao foundation would not only collapse but also suffer irreparable damage.

The journey has come to this point.

Xu Yunfan immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "You want to use the Demon-Slaying Qi to cleanse the blood evil within your body?"

A smile appeared on his face as he said leisurely, "It seems that your path to cultivation has come to an end. If I were you, I would definitely reincarnate and start anew. Why would I bother searching for my Northern Pole Demon Qi here?"

Li Baichuan snorted coldly, as he had naturally expected Xu Yunfan to reject him.

"Enough talk, are you taking it or not?"

"What if I take it, and what if I don't?"

As Xu Yunfan spoke, his right hand quietly rested on the hilt of the Zhenwu Sword at his waist. With a slight exertion of force from his knuckles, magical power burst forth from his fingertips, causing the Zhenwu Sword to slowly revive.

The faint phantom of Xuanwu appeared around him, and the coiled tortoise and snake exuded a majestic and awe-inspiring aura.

The Arctic demonic energy flowed through his meridians, forming a stark contrast with the gray-white malevolent energy surrounding Li Baichuan, like the blazing sun and freezing ice, naturally antagonistic.

What troubled him most was that although he had forged his Divine Martial Dao Foundation under the watchful eyes of the three True Lords, not many people actually knew about it. True Lords had a certain prestige, so naturally they wouldn't go around publicizing it.

The true master of Blood Fiend Peak, who knows about this matter, appears out of nowhere?

In a flash, Xu Yunfan's heart stirred slightly, and he had already figured out the connection. Someone must be using divination to peek into the secrets of heaven, wanting to know his background. However, because he had cultivated the "Turtle Breath Concealing Divine Technique" from the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture, as well as the Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Calamity and Suppressing Fortune Technique bestowed by True Lord Qingyuan, he was able to prevent this.

Having failed to resolve the cause and effect, they sent this brute to investigate forcefully.

Xu Yunfan probably guessed which True Lord was responsible for it.

I'm the one who got dragged into this!

Xu Yunfan sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat irritated.

When I get the chance, I'll definitely make an example of you.

However, after some subtle probing, Xu Yunfan realized that the other party was being used as a pawn, and that taking action wouldn't necessarily lead to any consequences.

Seeing the other party's silence, Li Baichuan mistakenly assumed it was fear and licked his lips smugly: "Don't worry, I only need to extract seventy percent of your essence, which won't cause your Dao foundation to collapse. You can find another Dao later to make up for it..."

He then pulled a blood-red jade bottle from his robes, saying, "This is the 'Soul-Devouring Bottle,' specifically designed to counter you types."

"Senior Brother Li."

Xu Yunfan suddenly interrupted, his voice as cold as ice, "Do you know Article 307 of the Primordial Clan Rules?"

Li Baichuan was taken aback, then sneered: "Those who kill each other in the same sect have their cultivation crippled? How laughable! Are you really a disciple of my Holy Sect?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the young man opposite him curl up a strange smile.

"It seems that Senior Brother truly does not know."

Xu Yunfan slowly drew the True Martial Sword, and the lightning crackling around its blade suddenly turned jet black.

"Article 307 has a second half: If an evil cultivator impersonates a disciple of our sect..."

The black lightning bolt slithered along the blade.

“Kill without mercy! After all, although our Yuanshi Sect is known as the Yuanmo Sect by outsiders, it is actually just something imposed by those so-called righteous paths. We still despise the evil path.”

That's true, but there are cultivation practices that are even more outrageous than those of Blood Fiend Peak. However, when dealing with people, one needs to do so with a legitimate reason to show any magnanimity.

Li Baichuan's expression changed drastically.

Just as he was about to explain, he saw that the black lightning had transformed into a tangible phantom of Xuanwu, and the intertwining of the tortoise and snake actually caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to resonate.

Only then did he realize he had been tricked; the other party had seen through his true nature all along!

"court death!"

Enraged, Li Baichuan unleashed twelve blood talismans from his sleeve.

These talismans swelled in the wind, transforming into hideous ghost faces that lunged forward.

At the same time, he bit his tongue and spat out his essence blood, from which three blood puppets at the early stage of Foundation Establishment condensed.

Xu Yunfan neither dodged nor evaded, his True Martial Sword tracing a mysterious trajectory.

The first sword strike, "Slaying Demons and Exterminating Evil," was unleashed with a horizontal thrust, unleashing a torrent of black lightning that caused blood runes to spontaneously combust wherever it passed.

The second sword strike, "Slay Karma," slashed upwards, and the illusory image of a black serpent bursting from the sword's edge pierced directly through the two blood puppets.

"impossible!"

Li Baichuan retreated in shock. Although he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his strength was only one step away from the middle stage. At this moment, he was actually suppressed by Xu Yunfan with the True Martial Demon Subduing Sword.

In the chaos, Li Baichuan unleashed his natal magic weapon, the "Hundred Soul Banner," only to see Xu Yunfan's third sword strike already descending from the sky.

This sword strike appeared slow, but in reality it drew upon the spiritual energy within a hundred miles. Before the sword even arrived, the protective blood-red aura around Li Baichuan had already begun to disintegrate.

"Stop! I am..."

The cries for mercy were drowned out by the thunder.

As the sword light pierced through his body, a certain image suddenly flashed through Li Baichuan's mind: three days ago at the Endless Cliff, the purple-robed man who gave him the Soul-Devouring Bottle had a meaningful smile on his lips.
It turns out I was the prey!

I've been set up!
It must have been a True Lord who secretly intervened, influencing his thoughts and obscuring the cause and effect around him, leading him to do this.

Given my past behavior, how could I possibly charge straight into the mountain gate?

He was filled with resentment and opened his mouth to roar as if he wanted to say something.

"puff!"

The blood mist exploded and was instantly evaporated by the lightning.

When Xu Yunfan sheathed his sword, only charred remains remained on the ground.

He seized the Hundred Soul Banner, and with a flash of lightning between his fingers, he reduced it to ashes.

This kind of trashy banner is embarrassing. Xu Yunfan never expected it. The base of the banner is filled with blood and evil spirits and cannot be cleaned at all.

Only then did the belated thunder rumble in the mountains.
