Chapter 457 Mountains and Rivers (Part 16)
Upon hearing this, Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and turned her gaze to the dragon-patterned longsword in the other person's hand. She sensed a strong evil aura. No wonder Diandian was so afraid. Perhaps all the evil spirits in the entire hall combined did not have as strong an evil aura as this dragon-patterned sword.

The dragon-patterned blade in the evil spirit's hand transformed into a blur as it slashed towards Yun Xi. Yun Xi countered by using the Seven Star Deadly Staff to block the attack. The immense impact sent her flying backward, her back slamming hard against the energy shield.

Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone turned their attention to Xianfeng of the Immortal Transformation Sect, since so far, only the two of them had successfully transformed into gods.

Seeing this, Xianyao turned to wake Xianfeng, who was meditating, but Lin Keyang stopped her:
“Fellow Daoist Xianyao, please don’t disturb Venerable Xianfeng. Ranxi said that as long as she doesn’t ask for help, don’t forcibly interrupt Venerable Xianfeng.”

Currently, there are only the two pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivators. They cannot both be caught in a fierce battle at the same time, otherwise, other evil spirits with the strength of Nascent Soul cultivators will have an opportunity to take advantage of them. Therefore, when Yunxi stepped out of the Hong Energy Shield, she specifically instructed the more reliable Lin Keyang.

Upon hearing this, Xian Yao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yun Xi, who was fighting against the Nascent Soul, with admiration.

Yunxi skillfully lured the evil spirit to a corner of the main hall, allowing the other Nascent Soul cultivators to focus their efforts on fighting the Nascent Soul stage evil spirit.

"Hehe! You cultivators really have a spirit of sacrifice. It was the same ten thousand years ago, and it's the same now. I will definitely grant your wish!"

After saying that, he transformed into a cloud of gray mist, wrapped in the dragon-patterned sword, and charged towards Yunxi.

Yunxi silently raised her middle finger to the sky. Now she was even more certain that the dragon-patterned sword was the one that had been sealed here with the evil cultivator, and it was also one of the evil cultivator's purposes in this scheme.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she felt uncomfortable the moment she saw the dragon-patterned sword. Even the purple smoke in her dantian twitched, and the spirit of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, Heiyao, sent her a dangerous signal.

This made her even more cautious when fighting the evil spirits opposite her. She suspected that the Nascent Soul cultivators who had self-destructed earlier were all injured by this dragon-patterned blade.

With a loud "bang," the aftershocks of the clash between the two forces—one a sword, the other a staff; one gray, the other purple—rapidly spread throughout the entire hall. Yun Xi raised her voice:

"You all return to the protective shield."

The Nascent Soul cultivators in the midst of battle immediately flashed back into the protective shield, but some evil spirits clung tightly to their opponents, depriving them of the best time to dodge the attacks. In just an instant, they and the evil spirits that were entangled with them were reduced to dust.

"Hahaha! These people died by your hand!"

The evil spirit roared arrogantly, trying to incite the other cultivators' hatred towards Yunxi.

In the next instant, countless evil spirits at the late Nascent Soul stage rushed out from all directions and pounced on Yunxi.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators who had retreated back into the protective shield saw that the situation was not good and prepared to rush out again. Although they might be accidentally injured, they could not allow the only two Nascent Soul cultivators to be eliminated.

Yunxi snorted coldly:

"Don't come out!"

He then summoned the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella from his dantian and transmitted his voice to Hei Yao:
"You can have those scum. I'll hold off this evil weapon while you finish this quickly!"

"Yes, Master!"

After receiving Yunxi's order, Obsidian automatically flew into the surging evil spirits and was soon overwhelmed by countless evil spirits.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Some cultivators, disregarding the warnings, were about to step out of the protective barrier when, in the next instant, a dragon's roar echoed through the hall. Then, everyone saw nine black dragons fly out from the umbrella, taking turns diving into the horde of evil spirits. The black scales on their bodies gleamed coldly as they moved, swiftly crushing the incorporeal evil spirits. The evil spirits, scattered by the black dragons, would gather again, only to be shattered once more within two breaths. This repeated three times until these Nascent Soul stage evil spirits finally dissipated unwillingly.

Meanwhile, Yunxi's spiritual energy was rapidly draining away like a flood, but she remained calm and composed, gripping the Seven Star Deadly Staff and striking the dragon-patterned blade with increasing speed, blocking all attacks.

The moment the sword and staff clashed, she felt a jolt in her hand. The Seven Star Deadly Staff sensed that it had encountered a formidable opponent. Not only was the Yao Guang Star flashing, but the Yu Heng Star also began to flash. The lightning-based attacks were mixed with the sharpness of the metal element, making Yun Xi's attacks even more fierce.

Yunxi knew she was at a disadvantage, so after gaining the upper hand temporarily, she immediately unleashed a powerful move, "Thunder Shines Through the Nine Heavens," which she swung out with the Seven Star Deadly Staff.

Instantly, the entire hall was filled with lightning and thunder. Countless bolts of purple lightning struck the evil spirit wielding the dragon-patterned blade with pinpoint accuracy, some of them imbued with sharp metallic power. Yunxi swallowed the two high-grade spirit-replenishing pills she was holding in her mouth, gritted her teeth, and flicked out the purple smoke. She refused to believe that she couldn't destroy this Nascent Soul evil spirit.

She simultaneously supplied spiritual energy to the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, the Seven Star Deadly Staff, and the Purple Smoke. Her dantian was almost empty, and even the spiritual energy remaining in her meridians was completely depleted, but she dared not stop.

"what!"

The evil spirit was finally reduced to dust under the triple attack, but Yunxi clearly saw the dragon-patterned sword disappear before her eyes, enveloped by gray evil energy.

Knowing that her master had expended a great deal of energy, Ziyan returned to her dantian immediately after completing the mission. Then, the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella appeared, and the nine black dragons returned to the umbrella surface and hovered above her master's head, seemingly guarding against any evil spirits that might launch a sneak attack.

Yunxi gripped the Seven Star Deadly Staff with one hand, slammed it heavily onto the ground, and scanned her surroundings with a cold gaze. She then released her divine sense to search the entire hall, wanting to know where the dragon-patterned blade was hidden.

She was certain that the evil weapon was in this hall, but after searching twice with her divine sense, she couldn't find any trace of the Dragon Pattern Blade. She could only wave her sleeve to put away the Death Cudgel and slowly walk back into the protective shield while holding the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella.

The moment she passed through the protective shield, Yunxi swayed slightly, feeling somewhat exhausted. The Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella returned to her dantian on its own. Zhang Lingrui flashed to her side and grabbed Yunxi's arm.

"Senior Sister Ranxi, are you alright?"

Yunxi stopped pretending and said weakly:

"Help me back to rest."

The surrounding cultivators immediately made way for Zhang Lingrui to help her back to recuperate. They had all witnessed the battle just now, and it was indeed beyond their level to intervene.

Another ten Nascent Soul cultivators perished in this battle, and that was only after Venerable Ranxi reminded them; otherwise, who knows how many more would have fallen.

After Yunxi slumped onto the futon, she placed a restriction on herself and quickly began to recover her spiritual power.

Wei Yunqing, who was standing to the side, pursed her lips. She had also witnessed the battle just now. To be fair, if she were in Yunxi's position, she could at most hold back the Nascent Soul Evil Soul, but she would not be able to take care of the other Nascent Soul cultivators.

She would eventually retreat back into the protective shield, but Yunxi single-handedly annihilated the evil spirit and the other Nascent Soul stage evil spirits, perfectly ending the battle. She was exhausted but not injured, and her combat power was definitely above Yunxi's.

Envy and jealousy intertwined in Wei Yunqing's heart. She suddenly realized that she might never be able to surpass Wei Yunxi, which made her very frustrated.

At the same time, spiritual energy fluctuations reappeared within the protective shield.

　See you tomorrow! Goodnight~
