A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 227 Choice, Killing Intent

"What good would it do to know?"

Even top-grade ancient treasures can have a good effect against powerful cultivators, making Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu feel very wary.

Using it to deal with other cultivators would be even more effective.

He still didn't believe that the Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi could withstand the Soul Refining Wind of the Soul Refining Gourd.

next moment.

A wisp of black wind blew out from the gourd's mouth.

The black wind was initially small, compressed into a small area, like a black ball of light.

However, under Jin Kui's control, it rushed straight towards the barbarian bearded man and Qing Yi standing side by side, rapidly expanding and quickly covering hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of feet.

Moreover, many of the black winds blew towards Fengyu Island, which was dozens of miles behind.

"Kim Kyu, you..."

The bearded man was furious upon seeing this.

Qing Yi also frowned.

Is Kim Kyu-mo a sore loser? Did he get angry after being beaten earlier?
That makes sense. After all, even ancient treasures have fallen into his "money-grubbing" trap. How could he remain calm and collected after losing such a precious item?
"Let's go, let's avoid their sharp edge for now!"

Qingyi transmitted his voice.

On their side, one immediately summoned an ancient pendant, using the soft light emitted by this ancient jade pendant to weaken the Soul-Refining Wind and quickly retreat. The other summoned a ring, which circled around himself, ripples spreading outwards. As these ripples spread, much of the Soul-Refining Wind was pushed away, and he too quickly retreated.

However, the Soul Refining Wind spreads at an incredibly fast speed, like the terrifying shockwave that erupts when a nuclear bomb explodes.

This cannot be avoided by ordinary escape techniques.

Neither Manhuzi nor Qingyi were able to escape the area covered by the black wind immediately.

What's even more bizarre is that after the black wind spreads, it will reconverge. However, it doesn't reconverge with the initial point of spread as the center, but rather converges a second time with the target as the center.

At this moment, those caught in the black wind were like people in a swamp, unable to escape completely.

The two gusts of wind were like two plasters, once stuck on, they couldn't be peeled off for a short time.

When the concentration and intensity of the Soul Refining Wind reached a certain limit, Qing Yi's fleeing figure suddenly slowed down, and he even let out a painful cry.

You could vaguely see that Qingyi's face was somewhat ferocious and distorted, as if he was struggling.

This was caused by being slightly tainted by the black wind, which entered the body and directly attacked the soul.

Dozens of bluethorn birds fell into the sea around him, their fate unknown. One after another, blue needles appeared from the void, then fell into the sea as if they had lost their spirit. Even the other rope that had initially been entangled with Jin Kui's Falling Immortal Rope lost control and was snatched away by Jin Kui.

"Qingyi..."

The bearded man was greatly alarmed.

They started to get anxious too.

But he could only rely on the treasure and the special nature of the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art to protect himself and stand at the forefront. He couldn't help Qing Yi with anything else.

Han Li, who was hiding in the earth's veins heading directly beneath the battlefield, also looked solemn upon witnessing this scene:

"This treasure gourd is incredibly powerful. Possessing this treasure is almost equivalent to a special type of great cultivator taking action."

"Moreover, this treasure's attack method is very effective against my Gold-Eating Insects!"

As for Qingyi's situation?
"Qing Yi lacks foundation, his cultivation technique is weak, and most importantly, his spiritual sense is insufficient, making his resistance far too poor. He's bound to suffer this time."

In the blink of an eye, when he looked at Jin Kui and the Soul Refining Gourd again, he hesitated.

I'm considering whether or not to break ties with Xinggong.

"My identity in the White Water Sword Sect should still be valid."

"If, in the future, I come into contact with the Two Saints, and they are good people, they are willing to entrust Ling Yuling to me and pass on their entire Yuan Magnetic Divine Light cultivation to me, allowing me to avoid hundreds of years of detours! This would allow me to directly cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light to a minor level of mastery, reaching the point where only the final step remains..."

"At that time, it's not impossible to give them Creation Pills made from Spirit Candle Fruit and Infant Nourishing Pills made from Yinzhi Horse!"

"You can even share the Rejuvenating Water in two portions."

With the help of the Three Treasures, the two who re-cultivated the orthodox Star Palace cultivation method are not incapable of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Those two can become gods, which will give me a greater chance of ascending to the spirit world in the future."

This is a situation where cooperation benefits both sides and harmony leads to a win-win outcome.

"Or perhaps, after the passing of the two saints, I could join the Star Palace as a Nascent Soul cultivator from the White Water Sword Sect?"

Han Li muttered to himself.

He is Ling Yuling's savior, and with this status, he should be able to quickly gain a foothold in the Star Palace's upper echelons.

If the cultivation level revealed is not only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, but at the middle stage, then it is not impossible to catch Ling Yuling's eye and win the heart of the beauty.

He was still very interested in the vast business empire of the Star Palace.

If he could win Ling Yuling's heart, the family fortune would be his for the taking.

But if he goes all out now, reveals too many of his skills to Jin Kui, and even lets Jin Kui escape, then the two maneuvers mentioned above will likely become much harder to execute. At the very least, they will become much more difficult.

If they don't intervene, they'll be letting Qing Yi lose his physical body, leaving only his nascent soul and severely weakened. As for the barbarian bearded man, he'll most likely be no match for Jin Kui, who wields the Soul Refining Gourd, and will be injured or even seriously wounded.

If that were the case, his relationship with those two could be considered over.

If someone stands by and does not come to the rescue, especially when they were just talking about forming an alliance, it is highly likely that they will end up becoming enemies with the two individuals.

"How to choose?"

Han Li frowned.

Alternatively, he could live off a woman and inherit the Star Palace's legacy.

Alternatively, he could start a business with Manhuzi and Qingyi.

After much deliberation, he still preferred to have both.

He both started his own business and lived off his wife.

Adults should have both; why make a choice?

As long as he successfully ambushes Jin Kui and prevents him from escaping, all problems will cease to be problems. Certain weaknesses will no longer be weaknesses. After all, no one in the Star Palace knows his specific methods.

...

just.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

"Brother Xiao, quickly protect Qingyi!"

The bearded man suddenly spoke, his voice carrying for hundreds of miles, startling Jin Kui and immediately making him wary.

Han Li, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this and thought to himself, "What a pity."

With the high-level ancient treasure he lent him, Qing Yi could hold out for a while longer, only suffering some more loss of vital energy. On the other hand, if he continued to get closer and suddenly unleashed the "Yin Demon Slash," he was very confident that he could severely injure Jin Kui in one blow.

Unfortunately, the opportunity for a sneak attack is probably gone.

To ensure Qing Yi's safety, Barbarian Beard was willing to let him miss this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

What a pity, what a pity.

"Perhaps even Big Fool isn't sure if I can succeed in one strike?"

If things go wrong, Qing Yi, who is being heavily targeted by the Soul Refining Gourd, will be in serious trouble.

Barbarian Beard didn't want to gamble.

They just want to play it safe.

All I wanted to do was scare Kim Kyu away.

"Om..."

Han Li didn't linger any longer. A sword aura burst forth from the ground, heading straight for Jin Kui above.

Following the sword light was a beam of light fired from the Xuanhuang Mirror.

Hundreds of sword lights shot towards different places, surrounding the immobilized Qing Yi. This was the Qingyuan Sword Technique, the sword shadow splitting light.

"Is there really someone there?"

Jin Kui snorted coldly.

His arrogant expression remained unchanged, but his heart was genuinely slightly chilled.

He never expected that the barbarian from Fengyu Island and Qing Yi had also won over another Nascent Soul cultivator.

And he's also a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
"That barbarian barbarian, and that Qing Yi, quietly accumulating strength—these two have quite a scheme in mind..."

Faced with the sword energy that instantly sliced ​​through several miles of clouds and part of the Soul Refining Wind, Jin Kui, who had put his left hand back behind his back, dodged it with a single flash.

However, when facing the beam of light that followed, he sensed the danger of the Soul-Destroying Mystic Light and did not let his guard down. Instead, he quickly made a hand seal with his left hand, opened up a defensive light shield, and at the same time summoned a small ancient treasure shield from his sleeve.

Even if the defensive shield is broken, the high-quality treasure shield behind it is enough to withstand an attack from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, to Jin Kui's surprise, his defensive light barrier was completely ineffective against the incoming crystalline light, and the ancient treasure shield he had summoned was frozen into a piece of crystal by that light, its spirituality sealed and no longer under his control.

"Soul-Destroying Mystic Light?"

In the Chaotic Star Sea, there is only one treasure that can unleash the Soul-Destroying Mystic Light, and that is the top-tier ancient treasure, the Xuanhuang Mirror.

"This is the Xuanhuang Mirror belonging to that madwoman, Aunt Wan San. How did it end up in your hands?"

"Who is your Excellency?"

Jin Kui became wary.

At the same time, he also noticed Qingyi's situation. Qingyi had actually broken free from the black wind's restriction and gained a chance to catch his breath.

what happened?

Those sword lights... could actually shatter the Soul Refining Wind?
Hundreds of sword lights formed a strange sword formation, which rapidly operated, creating a huge sphere of sword light. At the center of the sphere stood Qing Yi, his face pale and filled with lingering fear.

The Soul Refining Wind was originally very threatening, but after being shattered by the sword formation, its power was greatly reduced as it continued to penetrate the sword formation to target Qing Yi.

At this moment, it collided with Qingyi's defensive ancient treasure and could no longer penetrate it.

That's right, the Great Geng Sword Formation can be used for defense in addition to killing enemies.

Han Li, who valued his life even more, had a more "defensive and counter-attacking" understanding of the Great Geng Sword Formation.

The time and difficulty of setting up the formation were thus resolved.

After all, it's not like we're setting up a sword formation to trap the enemy. As long as the enemy isn't stupid, they'll run away and won't be put into a passive position.

But it's different when used for defense.

Defense is about protecting yourself or your allies inside. It can be easily and quickly achieved simply by coordinating the actions of the people and the sword formation.

Furthermore, the defensive sword formation differs somewhat from the Great Geng Sword Formation.

The Great Geng Sword Formation's sword light and threads are even sharper and more refined, making it easy for outsiders to determine its ferocity and danger after a brief probe. However, its defensive nature prioritizes defense over precision and sharpness, focusing instead on thickness. This makes it appear to outsiders not as a formidable sword formation capable of fighting beyond one's level, but rather as a special protective shield formed by the sword light released by a group of flying swords—nothing more.

With the protection of the sword formation, Qingyi gradually escaped danger.

But seeing that most of the Thornbirds were dead, he was both shocked and furious. He then made a hand seal and summoned back his natal magic weapon, the Azure Needle.

"Kim Kyu!"

Even honest people get angry.

These thornbirds had been his companions for centuries; to this solitary man, they were no longer pets, but partners.

As a result, the thornbirds, seeing his predicament, did not abandon him, but instead bravely circled around him, protecting him with all their might. Then, most of them died or were injured, and the rest suffered soul damage.

Damn.

Damn Kim Kyu.

Damn star palace.

He hadn't paid much attention to the idea of ​​"Xiao Cha" forming an alliance and building up a force before, but now he secretly regretted it and felt annoyed.

I've incurred an enormous favor again.

Even without mentioning the life-saving grace, it was comparable to a life-saving grace.

Otherwise, the primordial spirit will be damaged, the physical body destroyed, and most of the vital essence lost. Even if the nascent soul escapes, there will be no hope for the rest of one's life.

The most dangerous thing is that it will greatly shorten one's lifespan.

He could have lived many more years.

A serious injury could shorten one's lifespan by half. Considering the time needed for possession and recovery…

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and the angrier I got, the more I hated it.

At that moment, an incredibly fast arrow shot from another direction, striking the Soul Refining Gourd and knocking it away. This also interrupted Jin Kui's spellcasting.

The Soul Refining Wind's attacks on Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi immediately slowed down.

"Chance."

The two began to exert their strength.

Not only that.

Han Li, who had just emerged from the ground, had already used the Nine Heavens Gale Escape technique, which was compatible with wind elements, to fly into the sky and summon a grayish-white bead:
"go with!"

Inside the bead, a blue ice dragon, invisible to outsiders, roared at Jin Kui.

One by one, grayish-white flames, like lotus blossoms, detached from it and drifted toward the one in the Star Palace.
