The water gate closed again, and Han Jieliu and Han Jinwei made up their minds to surround and kill Yuan Yingtuan there.

Even if it doesn't work, we should still try to stop him and prevent him from mastering the Foundation Establishment technique.

As soon as Han Jieliu's heart stirred, a sinister aura descended, and it was Ni Er who made the first move with the Yin Talisman in hand.

Transforming into a vengeful ghost with a silver hook, it fiercely approached Yuan Yingtuan's head, intending to smash him with the hook.

But then they saw that the evil aura on Yuan Yingtuan's body was also gently surging, and several thin, white ghost shapes emerged, intertwining with the evil spirits.

Seeing this, Han Jinwei did not rest either.

The sword in his hand shone brightly, and blue ripples rose from the water, like the shadow of a wild goose falling into the water.

A silent sword aura was already heading towards the gray-robed figure.

【Floating Azure Sword Qi】, it floats as if it doesn't exist, and is almost blue, it is a sword qi that can be light or heavy.

Han Jieliu also saw the sword energy, so he urged Ni Yi to charge forward with his spear, trying to entangle Yuan Yingtuan.

But he merely flicked his robe, and a grayish, malevolent aura flew out, thick with the scent of blood.

A bloodthirsty fiend of this size and power must have devoured many mortals.

Seeing this, Han Jieliu understood why the broken clay sculptures under Yuan Yingtuan's hands were difficult to restore to their original state.

These clay figures, being in the shape of clay statues, were made to be worshipped.

It is a lineage inherited from this Water Palace, standing strong for centuries.

That naturally implies a connection to the concept of mortal incense offerings, and it may still be worshipped by mortals in some place. Therefore, it's not hard to understand why it's now being restrained by this blood energy.

Seeing that Blood Fiend had blocked the sword energy, he then headed towards Mud One, causing the black-scaled armored man to have the mud and water on his body corrode off.

The large horse beneath him let out a mournful neigh and collapsed to the ground.

Han Jieliu quickly activated the Water Palace, using several streams of spiritual water to create a suit of armor, which he then draped over Ni Yi's body.

With this item, there was no fear of any malevolent energy. As soon as Ni got up, the large spear immediately dispersed the malevolent energy around him.

Han Jinwei, who was a little further away, tiptoed closer.

The sword energy was fast; if it were to stick to his face, Yuan Yingtuan wouldn't have had a chance to release his killing intent to defend himself.

The murderous aura had just been dispersed by a large spear, leaving his back exposed, when Han Jinwei immediately appeared, spear in hand, charging forward.

Before Yuan Yingtuan could react, Han Jinwei lowered the sword tip with two fingers in advance, and then suddenly swung it upwards.

Several sword energies trailed thin tails, as long as arrows, like dense stitches embroidered on a fine robe.

It is a move from the "Xiaolu Tongqing Sword Manual" called "Yuqing Dangqiu".

This time, there was no room for dodge, and the sword energy struck Yuan Yingtuan directly.

It ripped his gray robe, which was imbued with spiritual energy, into pieces, which scattered and left several bloody marks on his body.

Han Jieliu saw the scene beneath Yuan Yingtuan's robes.

The flesh and blood were normal, empty and bare, an ordinary human body, but there was no ghost as expected, which was puzzling.

However, he observed that the injured Yuan Yingtuan, with a cold gaze, also harbored murderous intent.

He patted his storage bag and took out a high-grade Qi-refining magic weapon, a sharp and fierce magic weapon shaped like a beast's tooth.

Upon seeing this object, Han Jieliu's heart tightened.

Logically speaking, since the Yuan family has never produced any late-stage Qi Refining experts, they should not possess magic artifacts of this caliber.

Apart from Leijun City, there are almost no high-quality magical artifacts for sale in the surrounding markets, making them very rare.

"Its aura is overflowing with demonic energy, and it seems to have a familiar feel to it—it's the fangs of a tiger demon..."

Han Jieliu suddenly remembered the news that the white raccoon, a descendant of the True Man Yingqiu, had told him in the Great Stupa.

In this vast plain, the demon's lair closest to the South Ridge is ruled by a tiger demon at the Foundation Establishment level.

"Could it be related to that?"

Han Jieliu didn't have time to think much before he saw that the tooth-shaped magic weapon had already been activated, accompanied by howling winds, so he could only rush to stop it.

So the government flag was waved lightly, allowing Ni Yi and Ni San to get close to him.

Seeing this, Han Jinwei did not resist directly, but retreated quickly to observe the situation.

He saw that the mud-covered armor was covered in water. He swung his spear to block it, but it was smashed to pieces by the superior magic weapon, and he fell and broke half of his body.

The swordsman kept his distance, and with a flick of his sword, he immediately stirred up a storm, which he then used to enhance his own power.

Fish-shaped waves suddenly appeared in the water palace. Stepping on them, they moved forward step by step, somewhat resembling Xu Xiuyan whom he had seen before.

Sword waves entangled the fangqi, its sixth-level Qi Refining cultivation was quite impressive, no different from his own and the patriarch's.

Moreover, the person depicted in this clay sculpture was also very skilled in swordsmanship.

As his white sword summoned water, creating waves and calming them, it revealed a hint of the skill of a master swordsman.

Han Jinwei looked at the scene before him and pondered it carefully, a strange feeling creeping over him.

However, Yuan Yingtuan's cultivation was superior, and when he once again channeled his magic into objects, the power was even greater.

The demonic tiger-tooth artifact plunged into the waves again, heading straight for this place.

The dragon-shaped clay figure that had just collapsed on the ground finally dissipated its bloodlust and sat up, solidifying its form.

Water was still dripping from his face, and his monstrous features were tinged with gloom and anger, as if he had suffered some humiliation.

Then the muscles around his horn opened and closed, and his ape-like body jerked, smashing towards the tiger's tooth.

The magical artifact was actually forced back by him. At this moment, Han Jinwei raised his sword again, and sword energy flew out again, ready to strike at close range.

However, Yuan Yingtuan learned his lesson and will not repeat the same mistake.

When Han Jinwei moved, he exhaled a breath of anger, covered his body, and shooed him away.

The evil spirits that emerged from his body had also dealt with the evil spirits driven out by the Yin Talisman, and they entangled Han Jinwei, preventing him from getting close at will.

Thus, the two sides ended up in a situation of fighting each other from afar.

Han Jieliu manipulated the four clay figures, while Han Jinwei constantly searched for the right angle, wielding his sword and forming hand seals.

Yuan Yingtuan also used the demonic energy to protect himself, constantly wielding the tiger fang.

Han Jieliu possessed profound magical power, and with Han Jinwei by his side, he was least afraid of such magical battles.

But the murderous aura emanating from Yuan Yingtuan seemed inexhaustible.

Moreover, this energy is contrary to the water palace. As the evil energy accumulates, it has already begun to decay and invade the ground, shaking the pillars. I'm afraid the water palace will collapse at any moment.

Han Jieliu knew he couldn't continue like this, and suddenly remembered the jade seal in his bag.

This item was obtained from that abandoned demon mansion and is displayed alongside the Heavenly Spirit Dew. Its origin is mysterious, and it is unclear what connection it has with the Northern Lord.

It is pure white jade and is a foundation-building artifact. It is engraved with the title "[Prefectural Governor's Seal]".

Its shape is also quite unique, fitting perfectly into the empty space on the earthen platform of the hall.

Han Jieliu gestured for a while and found that it fit perfectly. He thought to himself, "This mansion seal and this water mansion share the same origin."

If he could temporarily activate this foundation-building magic artifact by taking advantage of the power of the Water Mansion, then killing Yuan Yingtuan in front of him would be no big deal.

Without further hesitation, he sent several clay figures forward to restrain Yuan Yingtuan.

With a flick of his wrist beneath his fine robes, he retrieved the jade seal from his pouch and gently placed it onto the platform.
