Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Eighteen silver rings with fire patterns flew through the air, shooting out in all directions like meteors, and quickly combining with each other to form a large net of flames.

Two demonic birds descended from the sky, intending to attack them, but were directly blocked by Jiang Shi's "Sparkling Wilderness Formation".

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what a skillful technique! The array formed by these eighteen mid-grade magic artifacts is truly formidable," Li Huan exclaimed in praise, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

The eighteen mid-grade magic artifacts—Fire Pattern Silver Rings—can also be combined to form an array. Their value is self-evident, even surpassing that of ordinary high-grade magic artifacts.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators like them, having even one high-grade magic weapon is already quite good.

"If I could snatch this set of mid-grade magic artifacts, I could make a fortune by selling them," Li Huan thought to himself. A wicked thought arose in his mind, and his greed grew stronger and stronger.

Li Huan even started glancing at Jiang Shi from time to time, thinking about how to launch a sneak attack.

Jiang Shi used the "Sparkling Wilderness Formation" to block these demonic puppets.

He looked extremely strained, parrying and blocking, and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

However, it was indeed strenuous, but Jiang Shi was not in a hurry at all.

This "Sparkling Wilderness Formation" is just one of his methods, and one of the worst ones at that.

He's currently at a disadvantage, but he doesn't want to expose himself too early. He wants to observe the situation and see what's going on.

The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.

Jiang Shi did not expect that in this third level of the secret realm, a demonic aura would emanate, gradually replacing the Yang Flame Qi and slowly filling the air.

Some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators with weak spiritual consciousness were affected, and their evil thoughts began to subtly intensify.

Li Huan was like that. His greed for the eighteen fire-patterned silver rings grew deeper and deeper, and evil thoughts gradually arose from his heart.

"If I kill him, these eighteen mid-grade magic artifacts will be mine!"

Li Huan took out a wooden sword, on which were engraved Dao patterns like flowing water. It was a high-grade magic weapon containing the true meaning of "water nourishes wood".

"Fellow Daoist Xu, don't worry, I'll help you!" Li Huan leaped towards a demonic wolf beside Jiang Shi.

It seemed that Li Huan was going to help Jiang Shi fight back, but in reality, he was going to secretly take action against Jiang Shi. What he did just now was to lower Jiang Shi's guard against him.

"This person showed a hint of murderous intent towards me!" Jiang Shi immediately became alert. He had an extremely strong sixth sense and could usually sense who had murderous intent towards him.

"Hmph, I was originally going to spare your lives, but since that's how it is, don't blame me for being ruthless." Jiang Shi sneered inwardly.

After entering the secret realm, he killed many enemies, and quite a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators died at his hands.

Jiang Shi's mindset has changed. He will not hold back against any enemy who dares to harbor murderous intent towards him!

Li Huan pretended to cast a few harmless spells at the demon wolf.

At the same time, he slowly approached Jiang Shi, intending to launch a sneak attack and kill him when he was close enough.

He slowly approached, but Jiang Shi seemed oblivious, remaining unmoved.

Finally, Li Huan reached a distance of fifteen meters from Jiang Shi, which was the optimal distance for a sneak attack.

"Finally, we've reached this point. Fellow Daoist Xu, you might as well die now!" Li Huan thought to himself, gripping the high-grade magic weapon in his hand with murderous intent.

Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly found himself unable to move.

"What the hell is this?" Li Huan was terrified. He sent his spiritual sense out of his body to scan himself and found several blue threads tightly wrapped around his body.

Li Huan quickly circulated his magic power, trying to destroy these blue threads, but his magic power was decomposed and devoured by these blue threads, which continuously generated new threads.

"You're not Xu Jun?!" As the magical power within his body disintegrated, the demonic energy that had invaded his body was also drawn out. At this moment, Li Huan regained consciousness and shouted loudly with disbelief on his face.

Xu Jun, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator renowned for his fire-based magic, had never heard of him possessing such a bizarre technique.

Jiang Shi ignored him at this moment.

Jiang Shi activated the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of Demonic Source," and a piece of demonic source flew out from his body, transforming into a three-headed demonic wolf that hovered in the air.

"Go, kill him!" Jiang Shi gave the order, and the three-headed demonic wolf rushed towards Ma Wu.

Ma Wu was terrified when he saw this. He didn't expect Jiang Shi to attack Li Huan. The group had gotten along well before, and he didn't know what had happened. Suddenly, things turned out like this.

Moreover, Jiang Shi also summoned a three-headed demonic wolf with the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Its imposing presence was clearly beyond his ability to handle, but the three-headed demon wolf was extremely fast and quickly caught up with him, lunging at Ma Wu.

At this point, Jiang Shi had already dealt with the last of the three.

It was very simple. The superior-grade magic weapon, Crimson Sky, flew out of the storage bag, and with the addition of the [Geng Metal Divine Light], he easily killed it on the spot.

Then Jiang Shi waved his hand, and the superior-grade magic weapon, the Qingyue Spear, fell into his hand. This superior magic weapon is even more powerful in the desert.

Jiang Shi gently waved the Qingyue Spear in his hand, and the yellow sand flew everywhere, trapping all the demonic puppets inside and preventing them from disturbing him.

Then, with a thought, Jiang Shi sent out three Bone-Piercing Needles that flew into the distance.

Ma Wu was currently battling a three-headed demon wolf. His spells could not harm it in the slightest; he could only barely hold on and stay alive.

Jiang Shi summoned three Bone-Piercing Needles, which arrived swiftly and, upon approaching, unleashed a burst of fiery energy that enveloped Ma Wu.

"Ah!" Ma Wu screamed in agony. He was scorched all over by the fiery aura and rolled around on the desert ground.

The fiery aura will burn the body upon contact, unless one possesses profound magical power or a body-refining technique.

Ma Wu did not meet any of these conditions.

Just as Ma Wu was screaming in pain, Jiang Shi unleashed a crimson blade strike, its trajectory like a rainbow, instantly killing Ma Wu.

In just a short while, two of the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had already died.

Li Huan, who was still alive, was trembling uncontrollably, completely unlike his previous state when he was affected by the demonic energy.

"Please spare me! I'll never do it again. All the treasures in the storage bag are yours," Li Huan pleaded.

Floating around Jiang Shi were the top-grade magic weapon Burning Marrow and Bone-Penetrating Needle and the top-grade magic weapon Mounting Spear, and he also held a top-grade magic weapon Crimson Sky in his hand.

These superior magical artifacts and Jiang Shi's bloody methods have already exposed his true identity.

It was that killing god on the second floor!

Li Huan was now completely unable to move, so all he could do was desperately beg for mercy.

Perhaps the other party will take pity on him and let him go.
