Starting at the Nascent Soul stage, a rogue cultivator is incredibly poor.

Qingyouzi retreated several feet quickly, looking at Qi Sha with a wary expression.

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to have misjudged me," he said in a cold voice. "Where would I find a Celestial Fruit? Don't accuse me unjustly."

Seven Fiends chuckled and slightly raised the blood flag:

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Qingyou, I saw it clearly, you can't fool me." His eyes darkened. "The Celestial Herb can already help Nascent Soul cultivators break through their realms, so the Celestial Fruit... its effects are probably even more potent. I didn't want this either, but I had no choice."

He slowly stepped forward, his body surging with bloodthirsty energy:

"While the Celestial Herb is something many would fight over, the Celestial Fruit is enough to drive any Nascent Soul cultivator mad. If you had only obtained the Celestial Herb, I might have been willing to exchange it for a great treasure. Unfortunately..."

He paused, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes:

"Such a priceless treasure must never be revealed. Today, one of us will forever remain here. Am I right, Fellow Daoist Qingyou?"

He stared intently at Qing Youzi, his hand crackling with blood-red spiritual energy.

"When I pointed out that you possessed the Celestial Fruit just now, the murderous intent that flashed in your eyes... you didn't intend to let me leave alive."

Upon hearing this, Qingyouzi suddenly let out a cold laugh.

He took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, tilted the bottle, and poured half a bottle of thousand-year-old spiritual milk directly into his mouth. The immense spiritual energy instantly transformed into surging magical power, filling his limbs and bones, and his aura suddenly soared!

"Haha, well said!"

Qingyouzi let out a long laugh, and his robes fluttered even without wind:

"From the moment you revealed the secret of heaven, I knew that only one of us could live today."

His eyes were sharp as swords, and blue silk threads had somehow become wrapped around his hands.

"Perfect timing! I'd also like to see just how you Nascent Soul cultivators from powerful sects differ from us rogue cultivators!"

Before he finished speaking, countless threads surged out from his sleeve!

Thousands of strands of black hair intertwined and danced in the air, instantly transforming into a sky-covering, azure net. Ancient azure demonic flames flickered and flowed within the net, perfectly blending the contradictory auras of life and destruction, illuminating the area within hundreds of feet in a bluish-green hue.

Seven Fiends' pupils suddenly contracted.

"Millennial Spirit Milk?!" His expression changed slightly, knowing he had no way out, and he shouted fiercely, "So what? Die!"

The blood flag in his hand suddenly split into three, turning into three streaks of blood light that plunged fiercely into the ground!

The blood-fiend energy from the ground erupted like a volcano, soaring into the sky and transforming into three giant blood-red pythons that lunged straight at the Azure Silk Net! The fiend energy collided with the azure fire, producing a hissing sound. The azure fire actually suppressed the blood fiend energy, and scarlet mist continuously rose from the bodies of the blood pythons.

"What?!"

Qi Sha was startled.

The net of green silk tightened more and more, and it looked like it was about to trap him completely.

He dared not hold back any longer. His hands formed hand seals, and his bloodthirsty aura frantically condensed, transforming into a crimson sphere that enveloped him. He then forcefully rammed into the weakest point of the Net!

"break!"

The crimson sphere exploded, and the Seven Fiends shot out like arrows. With a wave of their hands, the three blood flags merged into one in mid-air and flew back into their hands.

At that very moment, several strands of black hair silently wrapped around the blood-red flagpole!

"not good!"

Seven Fiends' divine sense surged wildly, and he suddenly turned to the side!

A blood-red shield flew out from his sleeve, instantly splitting into thirty-six shields, layer upon layer protecting him.

Almost simultaneously.

A giant hand covered in cyan flames materialized from the void and slammed down on the shield array!

"Bang—!!"

All thirty-six blood shields trembled violently, and the three outermost shields shattered instantly! Qi Sha groaned, his body flying back more than ten feet, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Qingyouzi pressed his advantage relentlessly, his figure darting around to the flank like a ghost, a blue flame flickering at his fingertips, and a beam of blue fire shot out, aiming straight for Qi Sha's dantian!

Seven Fiends gritted his teeth and retreated violently, biting the tip of his tongue to force out a drop of his heart's essence.

His essence and blood condensed in mid-air, transforming into a three-inch blood sword, its blade radiating a murderous aura that soared to the heavens! He pointed it out:

"go!"

The blood sword transformed into a crimson rainbow, tearing through the air and striking towards Qingyouzi. Its speed was so great that it even subtly locked onto his aura!

Qingyouzi's expression hardened slightly, and he flashed around, but the blood sword, like a leech, relentlessly pursued him.

As the sword tip approached his back three inches away, countless threads surged forth from his sleeves once more, weaving into a net to block in front of him!

With a sizzling sound.

The blood sword pierced the green net, and the green flames scorched the blood-red blade. The two were locked in a stalemate, emitting a piercing shriek.

Seeing this, Qi Sha did not hesitate to force out another drop of his essence blood and strike it into the blood sword in mid-air!

The blood sword shone brightly, its blade swelled, and it actually tore through the green net, chasing after Qingyouzi once more!

Qingyouzi retreated swiftly, his eyes flashing with azure light.

Just as the blood sword was about to strike his body, his figure suddenly became ethereal, transforming into a strand of blue silk that merged into the sea of ​​blue hair!

In the next instant, hundreds of strands of hair split off simultaneously, transforming into countless streams of azure light, indistinguishable from the real thing, and attacked the Seven Fiends from all directions!

Seven Fiends was terrified and quickly summoned back the Blood Sword and Blood Flag, which surrounded him and transformed into a blood-red barrier.

A strand of black hair quietly appeared from behind.

"snort!"

Seven Fiends sneered, the Blood Sword and Blood Flag merged into one, transforming into a blood-red rainbow that pierced straight at that strand of green hair!

"puff--"

The black hair snapped in an instant; it was just a phantom!

At that moment, another strand of green hair beside him suddenly solidified, revealing Qing Youzi's true form, with the green flames at his fingertips burning to their fullest extent!

A palm strike was unleashed!

"Bang--!!"

The protective aura shattered instantly!

As if struck by a heavy blow, the Seven Fiends were sent flying backward like cannonballs, crashing heavily into the mountain wall behind them, causing the entire rock wall to explode with spiderweb-like cracks!

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and before he could catch his breath, countless green threads emerged from the mountain wall, binding him tightly like living things! Green flames spread upwards along the threads, frantically burning away the blood and life force surrounding him!

"Ugh—!"

Seven Fiends screamed in agony and struggled desperately, but his magical power was nearly exhausted. The previous forced blood and essence had also greatly damaged his vitality, so he could not break free for a while.

The black silk net tightened again, about to completely envelop him.

At the critical moment, a blood-red light flashed in Seven Fiends' eyes!

A three-inch-tall, blood-red infant forcefully burst forth from his crown, narrowly escaping the net!

"Qingyouzi! I will repay this grudge a hundredfold in the future!"

The crimson nascent soul let out a fierce roar, its figure blurred, and it instantly appeared a thousand feet away!

"Trying to leave?!"

Qingyouzi's face darkened. He raised his hand and took the storage bag from the Seven Fiends' body, then transformed into a blue rainbow and chased after them.

The crimson nascent soul fled frantically, occasionally turning back to unleash several blood-red orbs of light, all of which were easily dodged by Qing Youzi.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyou! Must you be so ruthless as to exterminate them all?!" the Seven Fiends Nascent Soul shouted hoarsely.

Qing Youzi sneered: "Didn't you just say that only one of us can live today?"

As he spoke, he took out the jade bottle again and drank the remaining half bottle of millennium spirit milk in one gulp! His depleted mana quickly recovered, and his escape speed increased by another 30%!

The two chased and fled, and in the blink of an eye, they entered a deep, secluded valley.

At that very moment, the world suddenly changed!

"Boom—!!"

The earth shook violently! The entire valley trembled violently, rock walls cracked, and boulders tumbled down!

A boulder the size of a house crashed down from the sky, heading straight for the Seven Fiends Nascent Soul!

Qi Sha was distracted in a panic, and a streak of blood-red light shattered the rock.

It was this brief delay.

Qingyouzi has caught up!

He slammed his palm against the mountain wall, and countless threads burrowed into the rock like roots. The next second, countless green threads shot out from the opposite mountain wall, spanning the valley and weaving a green barrier that blocked the way ahead!

The Seven Fiends Nascent Soul spun rapidly, attempting to soar into the sky.

In the sky, a giant palm of azure flames materialized out of thin air, its palm blazing with azure flames, sealing off the sky above!

"Damn it! I'm not reconciled—!!"

The Seven Fiends Nascent Soul let out a desperate howl, and instead of retreating, it advanced, transforming into a streak of blood light that rushed straight towards the giant palm, making a final stand!

Qingyouzi's eyes were icy as she struck out with her palm again.

Clap your hands together!

The Seven Fiends' nascent soul began to slowly dissipate under this attack, his consciousness gradually blurred, and as he lay dying, he murmured to himself.

"Senior brother, I... I couldn't do it, I... I'm so unwilling to accept it, I..."

The next moment, it exploded with a deafening roar! The boundless blood energy scattered like a tide, and was then completely burned away by the green flames, its soul scattered and its spirit dispersed!

Qingyouzi rolled up his sleeves, deflecting the remaining shockwave.

However, the earthquakes did not stop; instead, they became even more intense!

The entire valley seemed to be about to be overturned from the ground by some enormous thing!

Just then, from the distant horizon came a furious roar, its sound like thunder, rolling in:

"Xie Changyuan—!!! You dare to steal from my Heavenly Immortal Cave's sacred veins!! Your Yin Xuan Sect has no fear!!!"

That voice belonged to Jiang Taiyuan, the Grand Elder of Tianxian City!
