I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

Chapter 31 The Madman Feng Yue! A Cunning Man Waits for His Claws!

"Now that you've shown yourself, you can all die."

The woman in white snorted coldly, her eyes revealing murderous intent.

With a flick of her sleeves, two beams of white light shot out like lightning from her sleeves, heading straight for the woman in yellow's vital points.

The white light was incredibly sharp, and the sound of it tearing through the air was piercing and ear-piercing; it was clearly not an ordinary magical artifact!

"Senior brothers, save me! My magical artifacts are all destroyed, I can't defend myself—"

Upon seeing this, the woman in yellow turned pale, cried out, and quickly retreated.

However, due to excessive consumption of magical power, he stumbled and almost fell.

Han Li frowned, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he ultimately made his move.

With a light tap of his fingertips, two golden beams flew out from the storage bag—the two blades of the magical artifact "Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade".

Immediately afterwards, six more golden beams shot out, and eight golden blades drew several strange arcs in the air, attacking the woman in white from different directions.

This set of Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blades is a fine magical artifact that he purchased from Wanbaoge using a thousand-year-old elixir.

The mother blade can be used for close combat, while the eight child blades can be controlled remotely, making them flexible and versatile, which is quite rare among magic weapons in the Qi Refining stage.

"The magical artifact is nice, but unfortunately, it's of little use to me!"

The woman in white chuckled lightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

With a gentle lift of her delicate hand, an antique bronze mirror the size of a palm appeared in her hand.

The bronze mirror was engraved with cloud patterns on its edge, and its surface was as smooth as water, exuding an air of vicissitude.

The multi-treasure female general shone her mirror on Han Li's eight golden blades.

A beam of azure light shot out from the mirror, instantly enveloping the eight golden beams that were rushing towards them.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The golden blades, which were originally moving as fast as lightning, suddenly stopped in mid-air, spinning around as if stuck in a quagmire. No matter how much Han Li activated his magic power, he could not move forward even an inch!

"What kind of magical artifact is this?!" Han Li's eyes widened in shock.

He'd never seen a treasure capable of immobilizing someone's magical artifact before, even after years in the cultivation world! How could he possibly fight like this? Once the artifact was immobilized, it was like losing half his power!

"Don't worry, this woman's magical artifact can only immobilize one person at most."

The woman in yellow hurriedly spoke, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness, but the meaning behind her words was clear—there were three of them on their side, and Zhou Yuan was still there, having not yet made a move.

Han Li is also waiting for Zhou Yuan to make a move!

His gaze instinctively drifted towards Zhou Yuan, only to see Zhou Yuan slowly drawing a golden broadsword from his storage bag.

The sword was thick and wide, dark gold in color, but the blade was exceptionally sharp; it was the Gold-Breaking Sword!

"So it was a broken golden sword—"

Duobao Nu recognized the sword at a glance, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "This thing has failed to sell at auction several times. Anyone who buys it is a fool. Such a slow magical artifact, and you dare bring it to the Crimson Forbidden Land?"

She paid no attention to the magical artifact Zhou Yuan had unleashed, but instead flipped her hand and revealed a pink crystal ball, tossing it above her head.

The crystal ball floated in mid-air and began to rotate automatically, then emitted red light and sprayed out streams of pink liquid.

Instead of falling, the liquids floated in the air, quickly forming a liquid cloud centered on a sphere, about ten feet in size, which obscured the sky above her, creating a reddish area.

"This thing can corrode magical artifacts, so don't bring any magical artifacts near it!" The woman in yellow, seeing this, turned even paler and hurriedly warned her.

Han Li was shocked upon hearing this and hurriedly tried to retrieve the Golden Cicada Mother Blade, but found that the eight child blades were still fixed by the blue light and did not move at all!

He made a quick decision, flipped his left hand, and unleashed a blue rope—the "Blue Rope," a superior-grade magic weapon he had obtained as spoils of war.

The green rope, like a serpent emerging from its cave, meandered through the air, bypassing the pink clouds, and rushed straight towards the Treasure Maiden!

A flash of white light appeared around Duobao Nu's body, and a protective spiritual shield naturally emerged.

Although the green rope bound her tightly, it did not actually harm her because of the spiritual barrier; it only temporarily restricted some of her movements.

"A mere trick." Duobao Nu sneered, and with a flick of her right hand, she took out another flying sword, pure white with a slender blade.

As soon as the sword was drawn, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and fine ice crystals condensed on the blade, clearly indicating that it was another high-quality ice-attribute magic weapon!

She was about to urge her flying sword to break the green rope.

Right now!

Zhou Yuan's Broken Gold Sword finally flew "slowly" to a spot ten feet in front of Duobao Nu.

Duobao glanced at it and curled her lip in disdain.

The sword was too slow; she had plenty of time to react.

The white light of the ice sword in his hand intensified, preparing to break the green rope first before dealing with this clumsy broadsword.

However, a sudden change occurred!

From the dense forest behind Duobao Nu, a powerful aura erupted without warning!

The aura was violent, fierce, and full of killing intent, as if a ferocious beast that had been lying in wait for a long time had finally bared its fangs!

Before Han Li and the woman in yellow could react, a dazzling yellow light shot out from the woods like lightning!

The yellow light was incredibly fast, leaving only a blur in the air before instantly piercing through the green rope and the protective spiritual shield—and finally—

puff!

The sound of flesh tearing apart rang out.

Duobao's body stiffened abruptly as she looked down at her chest, where a bowl-sized hole pierced through her chest, blood gushing out like a fountain.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but only made a few muffled "hoarse" sounds. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and resentment. Then her body went limp and she collapsed, lying dead on the spot.

From the moment the aura erupted to the moment Duobao Nu died, it was only a fleeting instant!

"They've come after all—" Zhou Yuan sneered inwardly, but his face remained impassive.

His divine sense was powerful, and he had sensed a person hiding deep in the woods shortly after Duobao Nu appeared. The person's aura was well concealed.

If his divine sense hadn't been close to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

The moment he unleashed the Broken Gold Sword, seemingly to attack the Treasure Girl, it was actually to deal with the Hidden One.

The real target is the person who launched the sneak attack!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A burst of wild laughter came from the woods.

The next moment, a blue figure flashed by like a shooting star and arrived beside Duobao's corpse.

This man was about thirty years old, with a rugged face and a hideous scar at the corner of his eye.

Wearing a blue robe embroidered with the Tianque Fortress emblem, he was none other than Feng Yue, the madman of Tianque Fortress!

He ripped the storage bag off Duobao's waist and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it.

His gaze swept over Zhou Yuan and the other two, his eyes filled with mockery and cruelty.

"Feng Yue, the Madman of Tianque Fortress—"

The woman in the yellow shirt screamed in terror, her voice trembling with fear.

She had clearly heard of this person's fearsome reputation, his ruthless methods, his indiscriminate killing, and his wealth and numerous magical artifacts. He was a formidable figure among the Qi Refining disciples of the seven sects in Yue Kingdom!

The woman in the yellow shirt instinctively took a step back and turned to run away.

"You bitch, who told you to run away!"

Feng Yue grinned maliciously and raised his right hand.

The small yellow dagger talisman twisted in mid-air, transforming into a streak of yellow light that instantly traversed a distance of dozens of feet!

The woman in yellow trembled, looked down at the bloody hole that had also appeared in her chest, her eyes filled with despair and resentment, and then collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Yuan watched this scene coldly, showing no intention of helping.

Although this woman in yellow is from the same sect, keeping her around would only cause trouble.

Both Duobao Nu and Feng Yue are important figures in their respective sects, and both have Core Formation experts backing them up.

Killing someone secretly in a forbidden area is fine, but if word gets out and a Core Formation cultivator finds out who did it, there could be big trouble.

Dead people don't talk nonsense.
