Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 490 Heavy losses
Nangong Bao was shocked. He suddenly used all his strength to shake off Li Yunjing's finger and backed away.

"go with!"

With a hissing sound, the "Five Poison Divine Needles" shot out, blocking Nangong Bao's retreat. Five streaks of black light pierced through Nangong Bao's chest and flew out from his back.

"Ouch...it hurts so much!"

Nangong Bao let out a scream and almost fell from the sky.

Li Yunjing's poison skills combined with his hidden weapons were extremely sharp, and with a single move, he severely injured this Golden Core cultivator.

"Third brother! Watch out!"

"Third brother! Hang in there!"

In the distance, Nangong Hu and Nangong Long, who had just arrived, were shocked and quickened their pace to approach Nangong Bao and protect him.

"Let's see if you're truly brothers or if you're just relentlessly pursuing me!"

Seeing Nangong Bao struck by the "Five Poison Divine Needles," Li Yunjing smirked and turned to leave.

Using the "Five Poison Divine Needles" to injure Nangong Bao was originally part of his plan.

In Li Yunjing's view, no matter how cold and ruthless the Nangong family was, they would not ignore a Golden Core cultivator, right?

As for killing Nangong Bao?
That's pointless!
Instead, it spurred the three newcomers to fight to the death!
Knowing that his information had been exposed, and with countless members of the Nangong family rushing back, he'd better run away as soon as possible!

At this moment, Nangong Long and Nangong Hu dared not pursue him. Instead, they surrounded Nangong Bao and were trying to find a way to detoxify him.

The only person blocking Li Yunjing's path was the old man who had come from the direction of the teleportation array.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

The old man blocked Li Yunjing and his three companions' path, roared, and with a flick of his spear, the tip flashed with a cold light, like a black lightning bolt, he thrust it towards them.

The old man was experienced and knew that killing Li Yunjing would be quite difficult.

Let's kill Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao while we're at it, and see if Li Yunjing will save them!

Whatever choice Li Yunjing makes, it will be of great benefit to him.

If he doesn't save him, he'll kill his companion; if he does save him, his attention will be diverted, and he'll be more confident in dealing with Li Yunjing.

"Wow..."

As soon as the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" was unfurled, it transformed into a green light screen that blocked everyone's way. Then, Li Yunjing suddenly threw out the "Blood Demon Seal" and smashed it towards the old man.

At the same time, Li Yunjing suddenly charged forward, his palm strikes cunning, concealing a poisonous dagger, aiming for the old man's neck!

If this blow had landed, the old man would have suffered excruciating pain, not to mention death, as if stung by a scorpion.

"Young man! You have quite the skill! Your poison technique is so remarkable! I, Nangong Batian, have been traveling in the cultivation world for many years and have seen many masters of poison, but I have never seen anyone of your level!"

"You're not a member of the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Sect,' so how could you be proficient in their skills?"

The old man was startled and quickly retreated in mid-air, dodging Li Yunjing's vicious attack.

"Hmph! I killed a master of the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Sect' and cultivated a body of poison skills. Originally, it had nothing to do with your Nangong family, but since you insisted on intervening, then let's have a fight."

Li Yunjing's madness was fully revealed. His entire body was emanating dark green poisonous gas, as if it were the source of all poisons. As he waved his "Ten Thousand Poison Banner," poisonous gas sprang up and continuously slashed through the void, forming a world of poisonous gas.

The stalemate lasted for more than ten breaths. The poison gas was so terrifying that Nangong Batian felt a corrosive force on his body, forcing him to withdraw from the blocking route.

"Damn it! This person's poison skills are so powerful! The poison is so strong that even my third-tier antidote pills seem unable to completely neutralize its effects!"

Nangong Batian was shocked. He couldn't even stop a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

This sense of frustration is unprecedented.

However, the situation was beyond his control, and Nangong Batian had no time to think. He retreated repeatedly, while Li Yunjing, instead of going to the teleportation array, relentlessly pursued Nangong Batian.

A pair of white hands shimmering with green light relentlessly pressed down, turning the colorless air around Nangong Batian emerald green and emitting a hissing sound.

Puffs of white smoke were ignited; it was the poisonous gas that had permeated the air, forming smog.

"When the gates of the underworld open, ten thousand souls come; blood is the catalyst, and ghosts wreak havoc!"

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Nangong Batian spat out a mouthful of blood essence with a "poof" sound!

The crimson blood floated on his palm. Nangong Batian chanted incantations and cast a strange spell, using his own blood as a sacrifice to summon some mysterious power!
"Jie Jie Jie..."

A few dozen breaths later, from a building of the Nangong family within a radius of ten miles, a mournful laugh rang out. Countless wandering ghosts formed a ghost tide, densely packed, and flew towards this place!

Countless vengeful spirits formed a cloud of ghostly mist, sweeping across the land, extinguishing all life and causing plants to wither and decay wherever they passed.

At this moment, Nangong Batian couldn't care less about anything else; he didn't even have time to consider that his own cultivators might be affected.

"What a vicious old man!"

With a "whoosh," Li Yunjing shook the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" repeatedly, and the poisonous gas formed huge vortexes in the air. As soon as the horde of vengeful ghosts rushed over, a fierce battle broke out.

Wherever the poisonous gas passed, even ordinary vengeful spirits could not withstand it.

The hurricane created by the waving "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" carried the poisonous gas even further, causing a huge commotion within the Nangong family. Many mortals and Qi Refining cultivators, led by Foundation Establishment cultivators, had already begun to evacuate.

Two other Golden Core cultivators who had been in seclusion have been notified and are currently completing their final cultivation. They will soon emerge from seclusion and join the attack on Li Yunjing!
After a dozen or so breaths, feeling that it was about time, Li Yunjing flew away from Nangong Batian and continued to chase after Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao!
The three of them had already arrived at the teleportation array and were anxiously waiting for Li Yunjing's arrival.

Seeing Li Yunjing arrive unharmed, with not a single tear on his clothes, clearly indicating he was handling the situation with ease, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Li! Come on up! We've already adjusted the coordinates and inserted the high-grade spirit stones!"

Fu Chao shouted at Li Yunjing.

"it is good!"

Hearing Fu Chao's words, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, we're just one step away from teleportation.

Li Yunjing wanted to stand in front of the teleportation array to prevent the Nangong family members from being teleported there as well.

"Undeniably, your strength has exceeded my expectations."

Nangong Batian's face was grim, his snow-white beard was charred black, and his turbid eyes stared fiercely at Li Yunjing like a vicious wolf.

This kid possesses terrifyingly powerful abilities. He's only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he can fight him to a standstill. If this kid named Li Wutian is allowed to grow up, the Nangong family will likely be destroyed by him.

Demonic cultivators are all petty and extremely vengeful. Although Nangong Batian felt some regret for offending Li Yunjing, he still wanted to eliminate Li Yunjing and prevent future troubles!
He must be nipped in the bud!

Nangong Batian's killing intent surged. While keeping a close eye on Li Yunjing, he quickly sent out a message!
Nangong Long, Nangong Hu, and the two who were in seclusion all had to come out and join forces to kill this evil star!
After sending the message, Nangong Batian immediately focused on Li Yunjing, using his divine sense to activate the "storage ring" in his hand, selecting powerful treasures to prepare for a fatal blow to Li Yunjing.

As a prominent figure in the Nangong family, this person naturally possesses formidable trump cards!

He even had a talisman personally crafted by the ancestor on his body!
That was a life-saving item given to Nangong Batian by the ancestor. With this item, even when facing a peak Golden Core Realm expert, there was hope of saving his life!

At this moment, he already had the idea of ​​using this item!
Li Yunjing is too much of a threat.

"Kid, you die!"

After making up his mind, Nangong Batian suddenly burst into laughter. A fourth-order "True Fire Talisman" appeared in his hand. Before the talisman could unleash its power, Li Yunjing felt a sense of unease and danger!
"Not good! A fourth-tier talisman!"

He was a master talisman maker, a true connoisseur, and knew all too well the destructive power of this thing!

It can be said that this "True Fire Talisman" is equivalent to a spell sealed by a Nascent Soul cultivator!
As for why Patriarch Nangong only left Nangong Batian a simple "True Fire Talisman"?
This only shows that Ancestor Nangong's talisman-making skills are average. It is difficult for him to seal his own high-level supernatural powers without causing an explosion. This is the limit of what he can do.

Of course, don't underestimate this ordinary "True Fire Talisman"; its power is already considerable, no weaker than that of a peak Golden Core cultivator!
"Nangong Batian, you actually had such a trump card up your sleeve!"

With a loud "boom," disregarding everything else, Li Yunjing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence and shot out with the "Blood Escape Technique." His ghostly figure, as if teleporting, traversed a distance of fifteen zhang and was already face to face with Nangong Batian.

Li Yunjing's large hand, with its five fingers spread out like a pair of pliers, gripped Nangong Batian's wrist tightly, preventing Nangong Batian from activating the fourth-tier "True Fire Talisman" in time!
In less than a breath, Li Yunjing was beside Nangong Batian, leaving the expert no time to react.

Immediately afterward, before Nangong Batian could retaliate, Li Yunjing clenched his other fist and struck Nangong Batian's chest heavily!

"Bang!" This strike unleashed its full power, combining the power of the Five Poisons and the Five Elements. Coupled with Li Yunjing's physical body possessing the strength of the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm, this solid blow at such close range caused Nangong Batian to feel a sudden darkness before his eyes and confusion in his six senses. He loosened his grip, and the "True Fire Talisman" fell into Li Yunjing's hand.

"Go to hell!"

At the same time, without any hesitation, Li Yunjing's poisoned fist slammed down again towards Nangong Batian's heart.

"boom!"

This was Li Yunjing's all-out attack, so powerful that it could almost smash a mountain!

"Ouch..."

A hole the size of a bowl appeared in Nangong Batian's chest, and his body, like a boiled shrimp, bent over and shot into the earth.

The entire corpse smashed a crater three zhang (approximately 10 meters) deep into the ground.

Nangong Batian's corpse had bulging eyes, a body like a rag doll, and all his bones were shattered.

"Third Brother Batian!"

Nangong Long, Nangong Hu, and the other two elders, who had just caught up, were all heartbroken at the sight of Nangong Batian's tragic death. They all stared at Li Yunjing with fierce eyes!
"hehe!"

Li Yunjing sneered and, taking advantage of the remaining time, quickly flew down. Just as Nangong Batian's primordial spirit flew out, he waved the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner," engulfing him within it.

Li Yunjing also stole all of Nangong Batian's storage magic treasures.

Seeing the remaining four Golden Core Realm experts chasing after him, Li Yunjing dared not linger any longer.

The killing of a master from the Nangong family has blown things up. Li Yunjing doesn't know if the Nangong family's patriarch, out of anger, has returned to kill him.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator returns, then we're doomed.

Without any hesitation, Li Yunjing turned around and stepped onto the teleportation array!

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped onto the teleportation array, Nangong Long, Nangong Hu, and the two elders chased after him like madmen.

"Hey kid, where are you going?"

Nangong Long's eyes were bloodshot, and his long sword, burning with boundless rage, thrust towards Li Yunjing. The sword energy sliced ​​through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing glanced at the other party with disdain, sneered, and stood in front of the teleportation array. With a wave of the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" in his hand, he blocked Nangong Long's attack!

"Thousands of ghosts devour the heart!"

Nangong Hu roared, and with a loud "boom," thousands of fierce ghosts formed a tiger that pounced down on Li Yunjing.

"receive!"

As soon as the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" was unfurled, a green screen formed in front of Li Yunjing, and the tiger's soul, which had just rushed in, was absorbed into the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner".

"Freeze the world!"

"A deadly arrow!"

The remaining two elders, one used ice-based magic to try to freeze Li Yunjing and prevent him from entering the teleportation array; the other drew his bow and shot an arrow at Li Yunjing from afar!
"Boom!"

Li Yunjing knew he couldn't back down now, so he lightly stepped onto the teleportation array.

At the same time, the tricks he had previously committed were finally brought to fruition.

The restrictions near the teleportation array became disordered, and a defensive formation set up by Li Yunjing suddenly appeared.

"when……"

The arrow struck the top of the formation, while the ice-type divine power was blocked outside the teleportation array by the Nangong family's own restrictions.

"Crash!"

At this moment, the teleportation array has been activated, and the energy on the spirit stone is being absorbed by the array. The teleportation is about to begin!
"Boom!"

The runes on the teleportation array began to flash with a strange light, which grew brighter and brighter, and the entire teleportation array began to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Nangong Long and the others attacked even more frantically, trying to stop them from activating the teleportation array.

However, they shot themselves in the foot, as the Nangong family's teleportation array immediately launched a counterattack against them.

"Fuck your mother!"

Nangong Hu cursed and couldn't help but shout, "Where's the formation master? Shut down the teleportation array right now!"

"Second brother! It's too late!"

Nangong Long pulled Nangong Hu back from his near-hysteria, signaling him to calm down.

At this moment, the faces of the four Golden Core Realm experts from the Nangong family were extremely grim.

In this battle, their family lost Nangong Batian, and Nangong Bao was also severely poisoned; it was unknown whether there was any way to save him.

As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were at least two hundred, if not three hundred, who died.

As for Qi Refining Realm cultivators and mortals, tens of thousands were killed or injured!

These are all descendants of the Nangong family!

Such a great loss has never happened to the Nangong family in the last few thousand years!

Even in the war against the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," many clansmen have perished over the years, but none have been this devastating.

This was simply the biggest loss the Nangong family had suffered since its rise to power.

"This revenge must be taken! These four people must die!"

After watching the teleportation array complete the teleportation, another elder coldly uttered these two sentences.

"If I don't avenge this, I, Nangong Hu, swear I'm not human! How dare those four be so rampant in my Nangong family, causing such a heavy blow to our clan! I will tear them to pieces to vent my hatred!"

Nangong Hu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the now-dormant and dimly lit teleportation array, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Still not satisfied, he kicked a boulder next to him hard, shattering it into pieces.

"That kid surnamed Li, I'll remember him! When I find them, I'll make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

Another elder, who was in seclusion, also had a ferocious expression. "This time, the family has lost so many members, especially the third brother, Batian. He... he was cruelly murdered by that bastard. I wish I could drag them back from the other end of the teleportation array right now!"

His voice trembled with anger, and his eyes seemed to spit fire.

"The family has spent countless resources to cultivate its disciples, and they're all gone just like that... Tens of thousands of people, including so many elite Foundation Establishment cultivators. This has set back the family's strength by so many years!"

Nangong Long trembled slightly, his face full of grief and heartache. "This is all the fault of those outsiders. They must pay a heavy price to appease the spirits of our deceased clansmen."

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, and he covered his face with his hands, his grief evident in his words.

"Send a message to the front lines, report to the Ancestor!"

"Also, send someone to protect the family! The four of us will immediately use the teleportation array to pursue them to the death!"

The elder who was shooting the arrow spoke with a resolute and ruthless tone, as if he could already see the scene of Li Yunjing and the other three being killed.

……

Just as the four elders of the Nangong family were preparing to cross the boundary using the teleportation array, Li Yunjing and his companions had already arrived at the northernmost part of the "Youyue Kingdom".

This is the border of the "Youyue Kingdom". Beyond here lies the "Chiyan Kingdom", which is the territory of another power.

Near the border of the "Youyue Kingdom" and the "Chiyan Kingdom" lies one end of the "Endless Mountains," from which one can enter the mountains.

Entering the "Endless Mountains" is not the end; finding the location where the "Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm" opens will require more time.
