Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Caught off guard by the suddenness of the attack, the third-tier wizard had his consciousness torn apart by the golden blade.

The pain emanating from his mind made it difficult for the third-tier wizard to concentrate, and even the flames rising from his body suddenly went out.

However, due to the immense mental strength of the third-tier wizard, coupled with the significant reduction in the strength of Xia Jian's soul after its previous injury, Xia Jian suffered a backlash, resulting in a small amount of blood flowing from his seven orifices.

Xia Jianqiang mustered his energy and, taking advantage of the moment, had pink crows take shape in the bucket, before flapping their wings and swooping down towards the third-tier wizard.

The successive explosions buried the third-tier wizard, and the spreading pink smoke was firmly contained within the array.

But just then, a beam of fire shot into the sky from within the formation.

The terrifying flames spread outwards, shattering the formation below.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of flame rose into the air, revealing a ragged and wounded third-tier wizard.

The third-tier wizard glared at Xia Jian resentfully, but without uttering any threats, he turned and fled into the distance.

Seeing this, Xia Jian was not about to let the other party off so easily. He didn't want to live in constant fear and be on guard against a third-tier wizard.

As the shadows enveloped Xia Jian, he merged into the darkness and quickly chased after the third-tier wizard.

…………

Now the two are once again in a chase, but their roles have been reversed.

The third-tier wizard gritted his teeth, his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred, and the violent fluctuations in his magical power indicated his terrible mood at the moment.

However, as the flames burned around him, the medicinal powder inside his body also quickly dissipated under this power.

"Just a moment, just a moment!"

The third-tier wizard glared fiercely at Xia Jian behind him.

Once I recover, I will make that damn guy pay the price!

Just then, the third-tier wizard's mind jolted, and a strange sense of dizziness suddenly struck him. His body swayed involuntarily, and even his flight speed slowed down.

Even with some precautions, this kind of mental magic was still difficult for a third-tier wizard to handle.

Xia Jian ignored all that and sped up to catch up.

Now that he has activated the Soul Absorption Forbidden Technique and used the Soul Splitting Technique, a self-destructive spell, if he cannot end the battle quickly, he will be finished once he falls into a weakened state.

A large number of black crows appeared and then flew towards the third-tier wizard.

Although the third-tier wizard had a splitting headache, he gritted his teeth and summoned several fire snakes to attack the black crow.

The explosion sent flames soaring into the sky, and Xia Jian rushed into the blast zone, heading straight for the third-tier wizard.

The moment Xia Jian approached the third-tier wizard, the wizard summoned a fire dragon, which lunged at him menacingly.

A black longsword flew out from the spatial pouch at Xia Jian's waist, transforming into a five-meter-long giant sword with the help of magic.

The greatsword spun once, and the combined power cleaved the fire dragon in two.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, both the fire dragon and the giant sword shattered.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Jian lunged and knocked the third-tier wizard down from the air.

Without any fancy close combat, Xia Jian, bleeding from all seven orifices, once again used the Soul Splitting Technique.

A wave of dizziness swept over the third-tier wizard's head. Before he could react, Xia Jian summoned back his black longsword and cleaved the third-tier wizard's head in two with a single strike.

The two fell to the ground, creating a large crater.

Rain lashed down on the two of them. Xia Jian lay in the pit, blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, and even his consciousness began to blur.

Knowing he couldn't faint, Xia Jian sat up despite his drowsy state and quickly took out a translucent, dark blue pill from his spatial bag.

This is a pill for repairing soul damage, made based on the manuscript left by Mu Shuang.

The reason why Xia Jian used the Soul Splitting Technique so many times was because only one of these pills had been refined, and he could only choose to use it at this time.

As the pill entered his stomach, a cool, refreshing sensation rushed into Xia Jian's mind.

In an instant, Xia Jian felt as if she had returned to spring, as if a gentle breeze had blown by, bringing a refreshing feeling that penetrated deep into her soul.

…………

Several hours later.

The rain grew heavier, and the entire forest was shrouded in a layer of mist.

"As expected of a thousand-year-old elixir, its effects are truly remarkable..."

Xia Jian slowly opened her eyes and let out a long breath, feeling as if her soul had been sublimated.

Judging from the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy, the injuries to his soul had been completely healed, his talent had been restored, and his cultivation speed had returned to its peak.

Xia Jian stood up, looked at the corpse lying beside him, and slowly extended his right hand.

As the 'Demonic Fear' meditation technique was activated, the blood energy of the third-tier wizard was transformed into blood mist and absorbed by Xia Jian, relieving his weakened body.

After taking the spatial bag off the third-tier wizard's body, Xia Jian took off without examining it carefully and flew up, turning into a shadow and fleeing in the direction he came from.

…………

In a short while, Xia Jian returned to the place where the wizard had been hiding.

Compared to when I left, the scene inside was beyond horrific; it was utterly disgusting.

It seems that two major battles broke out after they left, and apart from some severed limbs, there were scattered clothes and bare corpses everywhere.

There was only one second-tier wizard in the room, and the spatial bag on the corpse had been taken away, obviously by another surviving second-tier wizard.

Xia Jian originally intended to absorb the corpse to recover the cost of using the forbidden Soul Absorption Technique.

Looking at the white corpses and slime on the ground, Xia Jian covered his mouth and gagged twice before turning into a shadow and quickly leaving the scene.

Nausea!

…………

The heavy rain washed away all traces of the second-tier wizard's departure.

Xia Jian did not learn any tracking spells, and after searching in vain, he had no choice but to give up.

However, after this battle, even if those second-tier wizards are still alive, they probably wouldn't dare to come back to cause trouble for me. Besides, even if they did come, they might not be able to defeat me.

Since that's the case, Xia Jian won't waste any more time.

He has a lot to do now, and there's no need to keep getting entangled with these people.

Moreover, it's only getting light now, and if we don't go back soon, Leia and the others will start to worry.

With that thought, Xia Jian once again transformed into a shadow and fled towards the cave where Leia and the others were.

…………

Returning to the cave, the collapsed entrance caused Xia Jian's face to darken.

Use the Shadow Ball to blast open the hole covered by rubble; the place was already deserted.

There were signs of a struggle near the cave entrance, and some bloodstains on the ground, indicating that Leia and the others had met with misfortune.

Seeing this, Xia Jian returned to the cave entrance and rapidly spread his spiritual energy to the surrounding area.

Before long, several sections of the stone wall scorched by flames caught Xia Jian's attention.

"In this direction...?"

Xia Jian frowned slightly and slowly raised his head to look into the distance.

Referring to the map that appeared in my mind, there was a sect called the Blazing Sun Sect in that direction.

Now that they had a lead, Xia Jian didn't linger and quickly headed south.
