Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 217 Beauty and Bones (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan certainly didn't flee in defeat.

His goal was to distance himself from the demonic cultivator surnamed Fan.

A mid-Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator from a sect likely possesses some hidden demonic sect techniques that can consume their own essence to significantly boost their combat power in a short period of time.

When near death, they usually self-destruct, taking their opponents with them to the afterlife.

Even if they don't die, they should still leave their opponents severely injured and their foundation damaged.

Shen Xuan naturally had no desire to engage in close combat with the demonic cultivator surnamed Fan.

A person in mid-air pats their waist.

The Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast suddenly appeared.

Eight long tentacles stretched out at an incredible speed towards Fan Xiu, the demonic cultivator.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Fan was startled and brandished his demonic shield to protect himself.

The white bone demon blade slashed down fiercely.

However, when the White Bone Demon Blade struck the tentacles of the Shadow Octopus, instead of blood splattering out, it was stuck to the tentacles and heavily wrapped around them.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Fan was terrified.

What the hell is this!

The shadowy octopus was completely unaffected by the poisonous gas from his White Bone Demon Blade.

A pain came from my mind.

The spiritual connection between him and the White Bone Demon Blade was forcibly severed.

Then look at that shadowy octopus.

It showed no signs of life; it was clearly a corpse!

"Taiyin Corpse Refining Technique! You actually know the secret technique of the Corpse Refining Sect!"

The demonic cultivator surnamed Fan was full of doubts.

A disciple of the Qingyun Sect fought him, and he actually used authentic corpse refining techniques!

The voice just fell.

Seven tentacles rushed in.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Fan brandished his demonic shield, trying to drive away these annoying tentacles.

However, soon he and his shield were tightly wrapped by seven tentacles.

No matter how hard he struggled, the tentacles of the Shadow Octopus tightened their grip.

A fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the demonic cultivator surnamed Fan.

The single horn on his forehead suddenly flashed.

A black light flashed.

One of the Shadow Octopus's tentacles, touched by the black light, was instantly severed in two as if cut by a sharp blade.

"What powerful demonic techniques!"

Shen Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although I don't know what that black light is.

The ability to instantly sever the tentacles of the Shadow Octopus is a force to be reckoned with.

After emitting a black light from his single horn, Fan Xiu, the demonic cultivator, seized the opportunity to break free of his restraints, leaped up, and ran back into the formation without looking back.

That's admitting defeat.

Shen Xuan estimated that although the Black Light Secret Technique was powerful, it could not be used for a long time.

Otherwise, why would that demonic cultivator surnamed Fan have so readily admitted defeat?

Shen Xuan waved.

The Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast returned to its beast pouch.

The White Bone Demon Blade fell into his hands.

Shen Xuan casually put it into his storage bag.

Let's look at Wu Yulan's side.

He was whispering with that demonic cultivator surnamed Fan.

Shen Xuan turned around and looked at Xiao Keyuan behind him.

Neither Xiao Keyuan, nor Zhao Zhiliang, nor Tie Wendao are suitable to fight.

It would be better if he just finished his solo performance and then made the call directly.

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

Since we've already taken action, we might as well see it through to the end.

Anyway, it only said best of five games, it didn't say that you can't play repeatedly.

This would allow him to gain the friendship of fellow disciples like Xiao Keyuan, and also allow Zhao Zhiliang and Tie Wendao to inherit their favors.

Why not earn some spirit stones along the way?
Shen Xuan said loudly, "Fairy Yulan, we are old acquaintances. Without further ado, I, Shen, will continue the battle. Who will you send to fight?"

Wu Yulan glanced at the other three, her eyes sparkling.

"Everyone has to go on stage sooner or later. Senior Brother Yao, why don't you go first?"

"Good! I've been wanting to meet him!"

Without saying much, the demonic cultivator surnamed Yao walked straight forward.

Both were at the mid-stage of the Demonic Foundation realm, and their cultivation levels were similar to that of the demonic cultivator surnamed Fan.

Although he readily agreed when Wu Yulan singled him out, he was inwardly apprehensive.

"Fortunately, it's just a contest of magic; at worst, we can just admit defeat."

Their purpose in coming to Qingyang Prefecture was to collect cultivation resources and increase their own strength.

In fact, they did not want to be enemies with the disciples of Qingyun Sect.

Although the Demonic Sect's secret techniques are wondrous, they can still provide some advantages when facing Daoist cultivators of the same level.

However, he was still somewhat apprehensive when facing disciples from a prestigious sect like the Qingyun Sect.

Those family cultivators and rogue cultivators are not as easy to bully as they seem.

He wouldn't want to fight to the death with disciples of prestigious sects unless he was forced to.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Yao made up his mind.

Upon stepping forward, he immediately summoned a demonic mirror shrouded in bloody energy.

Without saying a word, he shone the light on Shen Xuan.

Suddenly, a crimson light shone in the magic mirror.

It was initially very small, but it continued to expand.

When you reach a distance of a dozen or so feet, you can cover an area with a diameter of about ten feet.

Unaware of the true nature of the Demon Mirror, Shen Xuan flashed away, escaping the area enveloped by its crimson light.

"This guy's magical artifact is probably quite something."

Although Shen Xuan's physical body was strong, it was no less than that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

We must remain cautious and take precautions.

The Demonic Sect possesses numerous secret techniques, which are adept at corrupting magical artifacts and their foundations.

He wasn't so stubborn as to try and withstand the power of the opponent's magical artifact with his own body.

However, the demonic cultivator surnamed Yao was holding a demonic mirror, and its blood-red light kept tracking Shen Xuan's figure, which was quite troublesome.

Shen Xuan's divine sense stirred slightly.

Nine dark ice fish leaped out of his body, transforming into nine layers of azure ice walls that blocked the crimson light.

However, a surprising thing happened.

Previously, the azure ice wall, which had repeatedly achieved great feats, was now only able to withstand the crimson light for two or three breaths before each layer developed a blood hole and was pierced through.

"What a powerful attack!"

Shen Xuan gasped.

His spiritual energy circulated extremely quickly, instantly condensing into several dark ice fish to replenish the layers of the azure ice wall.

But seeing the magic mirror's power, they couldn't help but be amazed.

"This magic mirror must be worth quite a few spirit stones!"

The demon surnamed Yao knew that Shen Xuan's thunder talisman was powerful, so he dared not approach. He held his demon mirror from a distance and used its blood-red light to shine on Shen Xuan.

Its main focus is on long-range attacks, allowing it to escape at any time.

Shen Xuan drew his Azure Water Sword.

He pointed at the crimson light.

Soon, a solid, light blue ice dragon charged head-on.

next moment.

The body of the Frost Dragon gradually dissipated under the reflection of the crimson light, turning into wisps of icy mist.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Yao was overjoyed. He was about to unleash the crimson light to pursue and kill Shen Xuan.

Suddenly, they realized that the crimson light was strange.

Clumps of icy mist merged into the crimson light, quickly becoming one.

Then, the blood-red light, which had previously been intangible, solidified and turned into a long ice pillar.

Frost appeared on the magic mirror.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Yao poured his demonic power into it, but there was no reaction.

What is this ghost?

Before the demonic cultivator surnamed Yao could react...

Shen Xuan shouted, "Stop!"

A tremendous force came from the magic mirror.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Yao's hands trembled violently, as if struck by a heavy blow.

The magic mirror flew straight to Shen Xuan along the crimson light of the ice pillar.

"Good baby!"

Shen Xuan chuckled as he put away the magic mirror, erased the divine imprint of the Yao-surnamed demonic cultivator on it, and placed it in his storage bag.

With his natal demonic treasure gone, the demonic cultivator surnamed Yao transformed into a bloody shadow and fled back into the formation.

When he revealed himself, his face was full of panic.

"Junior Sister Yulan, my precious mirror has been taken away by Shen Xuan!"

"I see!"

Wu Yulan said calmly.

She wasn't blind, so she could see it clearly.

"Junior Sister Yulan, think of a way to help me retrieve the treasure mirror!"

"talk later!"

Her eyes were full of questions as she looked at Shen Xuan.

She saw it clearly just now.

Shen Xuan used a mysterious ice technique.

This greatly shocked her.

The intelligence reports never mentioned that Shen Xuan also knew ice magic!

Water magic, lightning magic, ice magic, and they also raised many Yin-devouring demonic insects!

Thinking about this, Wu Yulan had a terrible headache.

Currently, the two sides have fought three battles.

The Wu family of Chiyan is trailing by two to one.

If we lose another game, we'll have to go home.

Let's look at the other side.

Shen Xuan put away the magic mirror, a look of joy on his face.

They returned to the front lines.

"I won't bother two people with one matter. I've come again to seek your guidance. Fairy Yulan, is it you who came, or that ugly monster beside you?"

"Shen Xuan, you dare to insult me? You're asking for death!"

The demonic cultivator beside Wu Yulan was furious.

This person's surname is Dong, but he is a veteran mid-stage Magic Foundation cultivator, whose status is only slightly lower than Wu Yulan's.

"Senior Brother Dong, look..."

"Junior Sister Yulan, stay behind while I go deal with him!"

The demonic cultivator surnamed Dong strode forward.

"Shen Xuan, others may fear you, but I do not. Bring on all your corpse beasts, thunder talismans, ice spells!"

Shen Xuan was slightly startled.

This person seems to have a bad temper, but he appears to be someone with real skills.

Knowing full well that he was far superior in strength, he still dared to challenge him to a magical duel.

Shen Xuan used his [Insight Technique] to observe the other party's aura while simultaneously casting several [Good Fortune and Misfortune Avoidance Techniques].

According to the [Insight Technique], this person possesses profound magical power, pure demonic energy, and a robust physique, seemingly also practicing body-building techniques.

But to say that one can defeat oneself in a battle of magic based solely on these things would be far too arrogant.

"This person must have something to rely on!"

Shen Xuan dared not be careless.

The "Secret to Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune" did not cause him excessive anxiety.

But it didn't make him feel good either.

It has a sense of being stuck in the middle, with the outcome uncertain.

Shen Xuan remained on guard, his divine sense locking onto the demonic cultivator surnamed Dong.

While fighting on the battlefield might not necessarily result in death.

However, if one gets injured or damages one's foundation as a result, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Dong spoke eloquently, but when he actually stood in front of Shen Xuan, his expression was equally solemn.

"Shen Xuan, I have no grudge against you, so why do you mock me in front of all the fellow Daoists?"

Shen Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't like you."

"The bloodthirsty aura emanating from you is far too strong. There are simply too many cultivators and mortals who have undergone blood sacrifices!"

The demonic cultivator surnamed Dong sneered, "We are all people who defy the heavens and fight for our lives, so why pretend to be benevolent gentlemen!"

"Our Demonic Sect is simply more direct in its methods. Unlike your Daoist Sect, which oppresses and exploits just as much, yet wears a mask of hypocrisy and benevolence!"

"We gave them a quick death! But you want to make them live like beasts of burden for the rest of their lives, not even sparing their descendants, making their lives worse than death!"

Shen Xuan looked surprised.

This demonic cultivator surnamed Dong was ugly and seemed crude, but he was a sensible person.

"It's useless to talk, let's do it!"

Shen Xuan was too lazy to reason with him.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Dong had been making preparations in secret for some time.

As soon as Shen Xuan finished speaking, he quickly retreated.

In his hand, a magical glass umbrella appeared.

This action surprised Shen Xuan slightly.

I thought the demonic cultivator surnamed Dong had some amazing abilities, but it turns out he also relies on demonic treasures for defense.

No, it's not just about defense.

The demonic cultivator surnamed Dong slightly turned the demonic light glass umbrella in his hand.

The umbrella ribs unfurled countless brilliant rays of light, a riot of colors, like a dream.

"Damn, it even has mind-psychic abilities!"

The dazzling sunset glow seemed to come alive, transforming into countless beautiful maidens, giggling and gracefully approaching Shen Xuan.

Each and every one of them, in terms of both appearance and figure, was exactly the type that Shen Xuan liked.

It stirred something deep within him.

It's as if a primal instinct is quietly awakening.

The birds are singing and the swallows are dancing; spring is in full bloom.

It's so captivating that you can't help but become engrossed in it.

It turns out that the demonic cultivator surnamed Dong was just boasting.

They were no match for his Corpse Beast Thunder Talisman Ice Magic.

Instead, they adopted a strategy of striking first to gain the upper hand and confuse his mind.

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

His eyes turned red.

The ultimate level of the [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique]!
Numerous beautiful girls, all skeletons and skeletons, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, rushed forward in a frenzy.

Shen Xuan patted the insect bag at his waist.

A dark cloud swept out.

It was thousands of Yin-devouring demonic insects.

It hurtled towards the demonic cultivator surnamed Dong.
