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

The man in black remained silent, his long, black sword flashing as it slashed down!

Before the blade even arrived, a chilling aura swept across the land like a cold tide. Wherever it passed, rocks froze, vegetation withered, and even the air condensed into fine ice crystals.

Qingyouzi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He shifted three zhang to the left, and at the same time, thousands of threads shot out from his sleeves! Hundreds of black hairs darted through the air like living snakes, instantly weaving into an impenetrable green net that swept towards the murderous longsword.

"Hiss hiss hiss—!!"

The ear-piercing friction sound echoed through the barren mountains.

The instant the silk netting touched the blade, a grayish-white malevolent aura rapidly spread along the green silk, attempting to freeze and shatter it.

But on the myriad threads, the ancient azure demon fire suddenly ignited! The dark azure flames collided head-on with the evil energy, eroding and dissolving each other, bursting forth with hissing black smoke.

The man in black snorted coldly, his sword stance unchanged, and with a sudden flick of his wrist:

"break!"

The longsword's murderous aura surged by 30%!

The originally flexible blue net was forcibly torn open! The blade's momentum slowed slightly, but it still pierced straight into Qing Youzi's heart like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave!

Qingyouzi neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

"clang--!!"

The Soul-Shaking Bell flew out from his sleeve and shook in mid-air!

Silent ripples spread out, and the black-clad man's forward momentum suddenly faltered, a moment of confusion flashing in his eyes.

This half-breath is enough for a Nascent Soul cultivator to do many things.

With a flick of his left sleeve, Qingyouzi unleashed the Hundred Demon Net!

A jet-black net unfurled in the air, transforming into a massive net three zhang in diameter, covering the man in black from above. The net's threads were as thin as hair, yet they gleamed with a dark luster, subtly distorting even the light in their path.

The man in black regained his senses after a short while and saw that the black net was already above his head. He quickly made a hand seal with his left hand.

"Freeze!"

A grayish-white malevolent aura surged from his body, instantly condensing into three thick ice crystal shields that protected him. The Hundred Demon Net crashed down, its cables tightening, fiercely clashing with the malevolent ice shields!

"Click...click..."

Cracks spread across the surface of the ice shield like a spider web.

The man in black retreated, simultaneously slashing horizontally with his long sword, attempting to cleave the black net in two.

Just now.

With a thought, Qingyouzi opened the mouth of the spirit insect pouch at his waist!

"Buzzing—!!"

The crimson swarm surged forth like a flood bursting its banks! Tens of thousands of crimson fire demons converged into a rolling red cloud, splitting into three streams that precisely attacked the black-clad man's face, his right hand holding the knife, and his retreat route from behind!

Before the insects even arrived, the scorching heat was already overwhelming.

The man in black's pupils contracted sharply.

He made another hand seal with his left hand, and his body surged with murderous aura, transforming into a thick, impenetrable suit of ice crystal armor!

The demonic insects rained down on the ice armor, sparks flying everywhere! The Insect King, leading hundreds of elite demonic insects, breathed crimson flames, concentrating their fire on a single spot on the ice armor. Within moments, that spot of ice armor began to melt and thin!

The man in black's expression darkened.

He knew he couldn't delay any longer.

He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the blade!

"Soul-Slaying Slash!"

The longsword greedily devoured the essence blood, and the baleful aura on its blade turned from grayish-white to pitch black! A ten-zhang-long jet-black blade light pierced through the air, slightly distorting the space in its path, and countless illusory figures of wronged souls entwined around the blade light, emitting mournful howls!

This strike already contained the full power of a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Qingyouzi's eyes flickered slightly.

With a tap of his storage bag, the Dragon Shield was instantly summoned!

Eighty-one interlocking shields, layer upon layer, protected him at the center. The pitch-black blade of light slashed down with a roar, shattering dozens of shields before finally dissipating in exhaustion.

Even so, the immense force of the recoil still forced Qingyouzi back several steps, a sweet taste rising in his throat, and a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand to wipe away the bloodstains, his eyes growing even colder.

Right hand raised high.

From within her sleeve, countless cyan threads surged forth like a tide, intertwining, entwining, and climbing, instantly coalescing into a hundred-foot-long cyan giant sword! Ancient cyan demonic fire swirled and danced across the sword's body, dyeing the entire giant sword a dark cyan color.

"cut!"

Qingyouzi uttered a single word, and the giant sword crashed down!

The man in black's expression changed drastically.

He had no time to dodge, so he could only hold the black longsword horizontally in front of his chest and at the same time unleash all his killing intent to rapidly condense three giant ice crystal shields, each ten feet thick, in front of him!

"boom--!!!"

The first shield shattered!

Followed by.

The second shield cracks!

The third shield barely managed to block the remaining force of the sword, but the man and the shield were slammed violently into the desolate mountains below!

"Bang--!!!"

The mountain shook, and dust billowed into the sky.

The man in black smashed a crater several meters deep, lay at the bottom of the crater, blood seeping from his seven orifices, his breath weak.

Before he could catch his breath, the crimson swarm of insects, like maggots clinging to his bones, swarmed in from both sides! Above them, the Hundred Demon Net descended upon him!

A pincer attack from three sides, their retreat completely blocked!

A ruthless glint flashed in the man's eyes.

He suddenly pulled out a blood-red talisman from his pocket, bit his fingertip, and dripped a drop of his blood onto the talisman!

The talisman instantly ignited, transforming into a thirty-foot-long blood python that roared as it crashed into the Hundred Demon Net above!

"BOOM—!!"

The blood python collided with the black web, and the explosive shockwave scattered the swarm of insects for a moment.

Taking advantage of the moment, the man in black transformed into a streak of gray light and shot into the sky from the bottom of the pit, fleeing into the distance without looking back!

"Damn it... I'm only at the mid-stage of cultivation, how come I have so many powerful magic weapons, and they're so troublesome!"

He cursed inwardly and pushed his speed to the limit.

However, he had only flown a hundred feet when he finally flew out.

A thin, hair-like blue thread had silently appeared in the void ahead.

He was completely unaware.

The next instant, the point of blue light suddenly burst forth, transforming into a giant blue net that enveloped us!

"What?!"

The man in black tried to run away in terror, but it was too late.

The blue net tightened, binding him firmly! At the same time, the Crimson Fire Demon Insects had caught up behind him, frantically tearing at his protective aura, and dozens more squeezed through the gaps to begin gnawing on his flesh!

"ah--!!"

The man in black let out a painful roar.

Qingyouzi stood in mid-air, about to deliver a fatal blow, when suddenly a warning sounded in his divine sense!

Without hesitation, he retreated swiftly, and at the same time, he raised his hand and summoned a swarm of Crimson Fire Demon Insects that surged back like a tide, protecting him in layers at the center.

Just as he stepped back...

The black-clad man, bound by the blue net, suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura!

His body rapidly expanded, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall frost giant! The giant's entire body was formed from grayish-white malevolent energy, with crimson eyes. With each step he took, the earth froze, and the grass and trees turned to ice!

In just three breaths, an area spanning several miles was completely transformed into an ice field!

"die!!"

The frost giant roared to the sky, its palms reaching out to grab at the heavens.

In the sky, countless icebergs formed from malevolent energy appeared, each the size of a house, blocking out the sun, and crashing down towards the area where Qingyouzi was!

Qingyouzi's eyes were icy cold.

"I don't believe your malevolent energy...is inexhaustible!"

He moved with lightning speed, nimbly weaving beneath the endless icebergs. Thousands of strands of black hair emerged from his sleeves, swirling around the frost giant like dragons, occasionally darting and probing.

The Crimson Fire Demon Insects split into several groups, harassing the giant's vulnerable points such as joints and eyes.

The Hundred Demons Network hovers behind the giant, waiting for its chance to strike.

Directly in front of the giant, a giant net of azure fire, woven from countless threads and ancient azure demon fire, slowly closed in.

Encirclement from three sides, attrition tactics.

The frost giant roared repeatedly, slamming his fists and unleashing a raging ice storm, yet he could never catch the ghostly blue shadow.

The murderous aura emanating from him diminished at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Ten breaths later, the giant's body began to fade into ethereal form.

The man in black knew he couldn't delay any longer.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"burst!"

The Frost Giant exploded with a deafening roar!

The overwhelming malevolent energy swept outwards like a tsunami, thickening the ice field by three feet wherever it passed, and even freezing the air!

Qingyouzi had anticipated this, and the Demon Dragon Shield protected his body, allowing him to withstand the impact.

And right at the epicenter of the explosion.

A three-inch-tall gray-white nascent soul silently escaped and shot into the distance without looking back!

The nascent soul was still tightly clutching the storage bag and its natal longsword.

Qingyouzi sneered.

"Trying to leave?"

He raised his hand and waved.

The Hundred Demons Net had been waiting for a long time ahead of the Nascent Soul as it fled! The black net descended from above, tightly wrapping the Nascent Soul.

"No--!!"

The nascent soul emitted a shrill, mournful cry.

Qingyouzi remained expressionless, her right hand clenched loosely.

Baimo.com suddenly tightened its grip!

The pitch-black network wires embedded themselves into the nascent soul like a branding iron, frantically eroding its essence. In less than two breaths, the nascent soul was like a candle flickering in the wind, its radiance completely dissipated.

"Bang."

A slight muffled sound.

The nascent soul completely disintegrated and turned into nothingness.

The Hundred Demon Net flew back into Qingyouzi's hand, with a storage bag and a jet-black longsword lying quietly at its core.

He had just put the two items away and hadn't even had a chance to examine the long sword.

At the edge of my divine sense, a terrifying aura was rapidly approaching!

Stronger than the Men in Black!

At least late-stage Nascent Soul!

Qingyouzi suddenly looked up.

In the distance, a figure in white robes broke through the air, wearing a black mask, with an aura as deep as the sea.

The person's gaze locked onto Qingyouzi the moment he spotted him.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, yet possessing such powerful divine sense..."

The white-robed man's eyes narrowed slightly beneath his mask as he muttered to himself:

"There's no mistake. He must have obtained Xuan Yi's inheritance, and that Nascent Soul Pill must have been obtained with his help."

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a white light and rushed straight towards Qingyouzi!

Qingyouzi's heart sank.

He was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, far beyond what he could directly confront at this moment.

Without hesitation, he tilted his head back and gulped down most of the bottle of millennium-old spiritual milk! His depleted magical power instantly recovered by 30%.

Immediately, all escape techniques and supernatural abilities were activated at full power!

The Wind-Riding Pearl shone brightly with azure light, and countless threads intertwined behind it to form wings that propelled it forward, while the ancient azure demonic fire erupted beneath its feet for further propulsion.

Qingyouzi transformed into a streak of azure light and fled desperately in the opposite direction from the white-robed man!

Its speed was so great that it created a sonic boom cloud ring behind it!

The man in white robes snorted coldly.

"Can they escape?"

He formed a hand seal, and his body burst forth with white light.

In the next instant, it transformed into a ten-zhang-long white dragon of light! Its eyes were like lightning, its whiskers fluttered, and its body exuded an aura of majesty.

A dragon roared and broke through the sky in pursuit!

His speed is even three points faster than Qingyouzi's!

The distance is rapidly closing.

Qingyouzi glanced back, a cold glint in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and took out the black longsword he had just seized from his storage bag.

Infused with magical power, the blade surged with malevolent energy.

Then, he hurled it fiercely at the light dragon behind him!

"burst!"

The long sword exploded in mid-air!

The power of a Nascent Soul level magic weapon self-destructing is comparable to a full-force attack from a mid-stage cultivator! Violent baleful energy and fragments swept across the sky behind like a torrential rain!

Caught off guard, Guanglong was momentarily stunned by the blast.

Although unharmed, they were momentarily slowed down.

It was in that very moment.

Qingyouzi burned his life essence, increasing his escape speed by another 30%!

It transformed into a streak of blood-blue light and disappeared into the horizon.

The man in white robes transformed back into human form and hovered in the air.

He gazed in the direction where Qingyouzi had disappeared, and a slight smile slowly curved the corners of his mouth beneath the mask.

"interesting."

The next instant, a flash of white light appeared, and it vanished into the void.
