Chapter 67 Thunderous Sound on the Sword
At this moment, Song Yan was invoking the spirit of wind and thunder on the withered tree, and the sword seed began to slowly rotate.

Looking towards another cliff, there were two men and one woman.

The Di Ling Jue swept across the area, and apart from one male cultivator who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, the remaining man and woman were both at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Hanmei, the two mountains here are connected, and the area is open and flat. This should be the place where the Foundation Establishment senior practiced his techniques, as mentioned in the inscription."

"Having obtained that incomplete scroll, this trip has already been very fruitful. If only..."

The rogue monk was dressed in a yellow scholar's robe, with a scholarly air about him, and he looked very kind.

He suddenly paused and looked into the distance.

On the opposite cliff in the valley, a man and a woman stood, while a young cultivator sat cross-legged in front of a withered tree branch, his fingertips controlling the wind and thunder.

"Brother Zhao!"

The female cultivator, dressed in red, pointed towards Song Yan and said, "That is... Lei Xing's most spiritual object!"

"As stated in the previous inscription in the valley, if one can use the most spiritually potent items of the three elements of fire, wind, and thunder to aid in cultivation, the progress of one's magical scrolls can be as rapid as a thousand miles a day!"

The two exchanged a glance, and without consulting the fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, they quickly advanced.

"Ah Ming! Go and disturb that person's cultivation, then come and help us."

"...Yes...yes, elder sister."

The cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining was not old, just like Song Yan, but he seemed somewhat timid when fighting others.

Rong Xiaofeng frowned and, together with Wu Huaguo, walked to the middle of the cliffside corridor and stopped the three of them.

"A few..."

boom! ! !
A solid wave of water shot out from the female cultivator's side, heading straight for Wu Huaguo's face.

She had no intention of chatting idly. If the young cultivator were to take the spiritual item, it would be difficult to predict who would win in a close contest.

Now that they outnumber the enemy, they are practically guaranteed victory!
Who has time to waste on your useless gossip?!

Almost at the same moment, Wu Huaguo's Daoist incantation was also activated, and a flowering tree rose up in front of her and Rong Xiaofeng.

The Lianhua Jieyu Sutra is incomplete, and its cultivation has a major drawback: the amount of spiritual energy it can accommodate at the same cultivation level is relatively less.

Therefore, Wu Huaguo was extremely careful to control her spiritual energy consumption.

Faced with her opponent's extremely fast and powerful water attack spell, the flower tree she was controlling was only a thin branch.

Moreover, it did not directly block the attack, but rather deviated slightly from the front, causing the condensed water column to bounce off at an angle.

Easily resolved.

"Brother Zhao!"

The female cultivator in red summoned a water-basket-shaped magical artifact, within which surging water-elemental spiritual power gathered, as she called out to the scholar-robed cultivator.

hum-

The spirit insects within her sleeves fluttered, forming a dark cloud behind Rong Xiaofeng...

"Insect cultivation..."

The scholar-robed cultivator narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not back down. He slowly unfurled a bamboo scroll in his hand, and an earthy yellow spiritual light emerged from it.

The war is about to start.

The battle between Wu Huaguo and the red-clad female cultivator was evenly matched.

Rong Xiaofeng, however, was at a disadvantage in her fight with the scholar-robed cultivator.

He urged his spirit insects, but in a single encounter, he was injured by his opponent's strange magic, losing a significant portion of his body.

For some reason, that earth-elemental spiritual energy made it difficult for his spirit insects to flap their wings, and he further crushed the spirit insects with earth and stone magic...

It has a restraining effect...

"Fellow Daoist Tong..."

Rong Xiaofeng was anxious. Although they admired Song Yan and wanted to befriend him, they would never risk their lives for Song Yan's benefit.

Song Yan took in the entire battlefield scene and succinctly stated, "Half an incense stick's time."

Half an incense stick?
Rong Xiaofeng was taken aback; to be honest, it was much faster than he had imagined.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Just half an incense stick!"

At this moment, in a corner where no one cares.

Xiao He had already secretly crept behind the stone tablet at "Fengyue Cliff".

Wu Huaguo glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, her eyes sparkling, and then a large amount of spiritual energy condensed at her fingertips.

“The vegetation is alive!”

rustling-

Suddenly, countless tender shoots, green grass, small trees, and wildflowers sprouted and grew densely on the once barren Fengyue Cliff.

Upon closer sniffing, a faint floral fragrance can be detected.

The flowers and plants grew more and more lush, already reaching above everyone's calves.

Xiao He turned her head and glanced at Wu Huaguo, thinking to herself, "This older sister is so smart."

So they disappeared into the flowers and grass in a flash.

The female cultivator in red and the scholar in Confucian robes were locked in combat with Rong and Wu.

At the edge of the battlefield, the young rogue cultivator seemed to have finally mustered his courage, wielding an ancient broadsword, and attacked Song Yan.

He muttered to himself, "One cut is enough, one cut is enough."

It seems like he's trying to cheer himself up.

Whether it was due to a lack of experience in fighting and killing others, or because the thought of "killing" was too focused, he couldn't even form a protective spiritual garment.

hiss……

The hiss of some cold-blooded animal reached his ears. From the dense bushes beneath his feet, a chilling sensation quickly crept up his neck.

"!"

His hair stood on end, and when he turned around, a pair of snake eyes, gleaming with a bluish-gold light, were staring at him mockingly.

Slurp!

There was a sharp pain in the neck.

In a daze, the boy felt that the world in his eyes was blurry.

He instinctively swung the knife haphazardly.

The green snake leaped into the grass and disappeared from everyone's sight once again.

The young cultivator staggered, waving his sword haphazardly. His protective spiritual robe belatedly formed, but then dissipated again due to the disorder in both his spiritual energy and physical strength.

"Ah Ming!"

"Ah... elder sister... I..."

The boy's movements became increasingly sluggish, and he eventually collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Fainted.

"what?"

Xiao He was a little surprised and tilted her head.

It seems that even she herself did not expect that there was no difference between the so-called mid-stage Qi Refining and early-stage Qi Refining cultivators among human cultivators.

Just like when we were outside Shiliang Town.

"Humans are indeed very weak..."

She thought so.

Wu Huaguo no longer held back, and her main goal was to stall for time.

If they are no match for them, the couple will eventually have to retreat.

She clasped her hands together, and petals fell one by one, swirling above the cliffside corridor.

"Understand!"

The female cultivator in red suddenly noticed that the veins on the back of her hand were bulging, as if something was about to burst out of her body.

"what--"

Bang!
A crimson bloom, a small purple flower blossoming in her hand.

The female cultivator in red staggered backward, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.

"When...the scent...pollen?"

Fortunately, she acted decisively, stopping the flow of spiritual energy and expelling the remaining strange wooden spirits from her body; otherwise, she would probably be seriously injured on the spot.

The scholar-robed cultivator did not help the female cultivator; instead, he activated his protective spiritual energy.

He knew in his heart that the best solution was to quickly kill the insect cultivator and then go to assist Hanmei.

Rumbling--

The sand surged in, engulfing the swarm of spirit insects.

"not good!"

Rong Xiaofeng wanted to withdraw from the swarm, but it was too late; she could only manage to pull out a small portion.

The scholar-robed monk sneered and clenched his fist from afar: "Burial!"

puff--

Rong Xiaofeng's mind went blank for a moment, and she immediately spat out blood, feeling that her vital energy had been greatly depleted.

Countless insect corpses fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the sandstorm swept towards him once more!
Right now.

A sword aura shot through the air.

The scholar-robed cultivator slightly shifted his body, effortlessly dodging the sword energy...

"Humph, you are so small..."

laugh!
Where the sword energy passed, there was a moment's delay, followed by a burst of lightning!

The golden arc of light easily tore apart the protective spiritual garment of the scholar-robed cultivator and surged into his arm!

"What……"

He grunted, took a few steps back, and used his spiritual power to dispel the lightning disaster.

Rong Xiaofeng was able to catch her breath and also flew backward.

Everyone looked at the withered tree; there was no longer any wind or thunder on its branches.

Song Yan, standing to the side, lowered his gaze.

The black-white flying sword was held horizontally in front of him, and his left hand gently stroked the blade with his sword fingers.

"Thank you both for protecting me."

Lotus-shaped sword energy surged, flowing from fingertips and covering the sword blade.

Where it passed, it left behind several faintly pulsating golden arcs of light.

hum-

The flying sword shot towards the scholar-robed cultivator.

The sword rang out clearly, like the sound of thunder!
