Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

"Mystic Cloud Shield!"

"White Ink Blade Kill!"

Seeing this, Gu Kai and Wei Liwei had no choice but to step forward and stop them.

However, even with their combined strength, the two could only barely block Ye Wuyou's attack.

The terrifying sword energy sent the two flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and their auras became even more chaotic.

He was already injured, and now his injuries have worsened, rendering him unable to fight any longer.

"Guardian Gu, Guardian Kui, you two step back and heal your wounds. Leave this to me," Shan Shengou said loudly.

"Be careful, Holy Son." The two did not try to be brave and quickly retreated, flying into the distance.

At this moment, the evil spirit in the air had formed, a huge black skull standing in the air, looking down at Ye Wuyou opposite.

"Ye Wuyou, die!" Shan Shengou pointed forward, and the evil spirit spat out a stream of black gas, which rushed towards him with a rumble.

"Double Waves!" Upon seeing this, Ye Wuyou swung his sword again, and the powerful sword energy swept out like ocean waves.

The collision swept across the entire sky, affecting the city of Wuyou below. A large number of houses were destroyed, bricks and rubble flew everywhere, and countless cultivators lost their lives.

Having failed to achieve its goal with its first attack, the evil spirit opened its mouth wide and lunged at Ye Wuyou.

"The sword rain is merciless." Ye Wuyou pointed his sword upwards, and countless sword energies formed above. Then, guided by Ye Wuyou, those sword energies fell towards the evil spirit like rain.

"Chirp chirp chirp~" The sword energy passed directly through the body of the evil spirit, leaving countless holes.

But these holes quickly closed up again, and in an instant they were exactly the same as before.

"Haha—useless Ye Wuyou, my evil spirit is immortal and indestructible, you will die here today." Shan Shengou laughed a few times and commanded the evil spirit to continue its attack.

Seeing this, Ye Wuyou tried to attack several more times, but it was still ineffective. Instead, he was attacked by the evil spirit and was sent flying backward.

"Pfft~" Ye Wuyou spat out a mouthful of blood, and his expression began to wilt.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators were accidentally touched by the evil spirits and turned into thick liquid within a few breaths.

Upon seeing this terrifying scene, Lu Yan quickened his pace and continued running towards the north gate.

"Lu Liu!" He suddenly heard someone call his name as he was running.

Lu Yan turned his head and saw that Yue Tingxin was leading a few people and running towards the north gate not far to his right.

Among them are Yue Tingxin's mortal enemy, Xia Yueya, and Yue Tingxin's sycophant, Chen Zhi.

It seems that there are quite a few people who share the same thoughts as me.

Since he compensated Yue Tingxin for the Qingfeng Pill last time, the two had not seen each other again. He never expected to meet here.

"Sister Yue, Fairy Xia, Fellow Daoist Qi." Lu Yan greeted them as they approached.

"Brother Lu, where are you going?" Yue Tingxin asked.

"Sister Yue, the city is too chaotic. I've decided to leave through the north gate to avoid it," Lu Yan said truthfully.

"That's exactly what we were thinking. Come with us; it'll make you safer that way," Yue Tingxin invited.

"Thank you very much, Sister Yue." Lu Yan thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Traveling alone would attract too much attention, and both cultivators and evil cultivators would want to take advantage of the situation. With more people around, there would be less trouble. If all else fails, I can always leave the city and then separate from them.

"Brother Lu, I really didn't expect that you would have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining in just a few months." Yue Tingxin couldn't help but praise him on the way.

"I'm not as good as Sister Yue. She's already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. I'm far behind her," Lu Yan replied.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know me?" After Yue Tingxin finished speaking, Xia Yueya, who was standing next to her, also asked.

"The Fairy Xia's name is widely known, and I, Lu, have long admired her."

"Fellow Daoist Lu speaks so kindly, but I am hardly a renowned woman; I am merely an ordinary lady," Xia Yueya replied with a charming smile.

"Hmph! What time is it and you're still acting like a slut? Don't you know we're running for our lives?" Yue Tingxin snorted coldly and retorted.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, how can you speak such vulgar words? Fairy Xia is so gentle and kind, why do you always pick on her?" Yue Tingxin's words directly displeased her suitor.

"A bunch of blind men, they'll be sold sooner or later." Yue Tingxin glanced at him speechlessly.

"Ahem~ Fellow Daoists, let's not argue anymore. Right now, saving our lives is the most important thing." Chen Zhi finally smoothed things over.

Among this group, Yue Tingxin appeared to be the strongest. She led the way, killing countless corpse puppets and vengeful spirits along the way, and finally arrived at the North Gate after half an hour.

However, the situation on the scene was not optimistic. Fighting had broken out at the North Gate, which had already been breached by the Holy Heaven Sect.

A dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators are leading several hundred Qi Refining cultivators to resist the attack of the evil cultivators.

Corpse puppets and vengeful spirits were everywhere, and many cultivators had already died, with corpses scattered all over the ground.

After easily dispatching a few vengeful spirits, the group retreated and discussed their options before continuing westward. They soon flew onto the city wall using their magical artifacts.

Meanwhile, fighting was also taking place on the city wall. The guards, who were at the late stage of Qi Refining, killed the corpse puppets time and time again and threw them off the city wall.

The group arrived at the city wall and looked down, only to see complete darkness. They had no idea what dangers lurked within that darkness.

But they couldn't stay in the city any longer. They gritted their teeth and jumped off the city wall, intending to hide at the edge of the forest and make further plans after daybreak.

Flying is impossible; you can only sneak across on the ground, otherwise you'll easily attract attention.

But as soon as Lu Yan jumped off the city wall, he felt like he was being watched, as if he were being targeted by a venomous snake.

"Hehehe~ I never expected to run into a few fat sheep again."

"Not bad, not bad at all. Such a rich aura of blood and qi. After absorbing your blood and qi, I'm sure I'll be able to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining." Sure enough, the group hadn't gone far when they were stopped by a cultivator in black.

"Evil cultivator!" Upon seeing that the person blocking their way had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, everyone immediately became wary.

"Please don't be nervous, everyone. Let me introduce myself first. I am Wan Tianrui from the Holy Blood Hall of the Holy Heaven Sect," the black-clad cultivator said to the crowd.

"Kill him!" Without further ado, Chen Zhi attacked Wan Tianrui with his sword energy.

"Commendable courage! A mere seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator dares to attack me? Then become a part of my body!" With that, Wan Tianrui charged towards the crowd.

The speed was extremely fast; before Lu Yan could even take out the talisman, Wan Tianrui had already arrived in the crowd.

Before a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining could react, Wan Tianrui pierced his chest with a single claw.

When the hand emerged, it took out his heart.

With a single strike, a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining was instantly killed.

The crowd was shocked and quickly scattered to surround Wan Tianrui.

"Got it!" Lu Yan unleashed a sword light talisman.

Several sword lights swiftly pierced towards Wan Tianrui.
