The Confucian and Taoist Sages of Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 136 A Stunning Skill

As the blood boiled from the demonic flames, a nauseating stench spread, causing the cultivators present to feel dizzy.

"Attack the soul?" Young Master Ren's heart tightened, and his face turned solemn, his previous arrogance completely gone.

The next moment, Xue Chanzi unleashed the Asura Blood Cloud, completely engulfing the Qingyang Demonic Flame.

The Azure Sun Demonic Flame flickered twice and then went out, causing the Azure Sun Sect cultivators present to gasp in shock and exchange bewildered glances.

"The Sacred Flame of Qingyang has been extinguished!"

"Top-tier demonic art!"

When the Qingyang Sect cultivators present saw that this cultivator wearing a silver demon mask could suppress the Qingyang Demonic Fire, they knew that the Blood Water Divine Power he was using was definitely a top-tier demonic technique.

Although the Qingyang Sect's inherited techniques are top-tier demonic arts, ever since Xue Chanzi refined the remnants of the Blood Demon's body, the Blood Spirit Great Art...

This resulted in a tremendous transformation. Not only was his magical power 30% more refined than before, but even his divine ability "Asura Blood Cloud" was completely transformed into a viscous sea of ​​blood, greatly increasing its power. It was no longer something that cultivators of the same level could withstand.

Han Li was secretly alarmed when he saw Xue Chanzi easily block the young master of Qingyang Sect and even gain the upper hand.

He knew as early as when he first arrived at the Chaotic Star Sea that the Blood Cicada's body was Wang Chan's, and that Yang Qingyuan had refined it into an external avatar.

But Han Li did not expect that in just over thirty years, this avatar had cultivated to such a level.

"And who are you?!" The young sect leader frowned, tucked his arm back in as if afraid of getting it stained with blood, and retreated repeatedly, questioning Xue Chanzi, "I have seen almost all the Core Formation stage demonic cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea."

"How come I've never seen anyone like you before?"

Xue Chanzi coldly replied, "I am but a rogue cultivator from the Chaotic Star Sea, not worth mentioning."

"If Young Master Ren is alright, then I shall take my leave."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves to disperse the blood and strode towards the door.

Yang Qingyuan, Han Li, Qu Hun and their group all walked towards the door.

However, the young master of Qingyang Sect dared not interfere in the slightest this time.

"Young Master," a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qingyang Sect approached the sect's young master and asked, "What should we do? Are we just going to let these two leave?"

"Without the Mysterious Yin Grass, the plan to create the exotic beast will have to be delayed."

The young master of Qingyang Sect watched Yang Qingyuan and his group's departing figures with a gloomy expression. However, because he was wary of Xue Chanzi, he dared not stop them and coldly replied, "What else can we do? You bunch of useless trash."

"Go to other shops in the market now. I refuse to believe that I can't find a second Xuan Yin Grass."

"If you delay the sect's important affairs, don't blame me for skinning you alive."

Upon hearing this, the Qingyang Sect cultivators shrank back and hurriedly bowed to take their leave.

Yanli gazed at Yang Qingyuan's retreating figure, her beautiful eyes subtly memorizing the faces of the group.

When Han Li arrived on the street, he praised Yang Qingyuan, saying, "Senior Brother's methods are becoming increasingly unfathomable."

"Even the infamous young master of the Qingyang Sect is no match for your avatar; it's simply unbelievable."

"Since both are external avatars, Qu Hun probably wouldn't even be able to escape a single move."

Yang Qingyuan waved his hand and replied, "Brother Han, you flatter me."

"Where is Brother Han headed next?"

Han Li gave a wry smile and explained, "I don't have the strength of Senior Brother Yang. Now that I've offended the Qingyang Sect, I naturally have to hide back in Tianxing City."

"Even if the Qingyang Sect is powerful, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Tianxing City."

"When I return this time, I will go into seclusion and not emerge until I have formed my core."

Han Li was thoroughly spurred on by Yang Qingyuan's strength and vowed to go into seclusion to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingyuan bowed slightly and replied, "Then I wish you a successful breakthrough to the Core Formation stage, Junior Brother. See you again in Tianxing City."

After saying their goodbyes, Han Li headed straight for the teleportation hall at the mountaintop, while Yang Qingyuan bought another batch of Rainbow Grass in the market before heading to the dock, releasing the Ink Dragon, and leaving Ningcui Island.

Considering that Han Li might have hunted down all the level-five demonic beasts in the vicinity, Yang Qingyuan urged the black dragon to head towards a sea area called the Black Sea deep within the outer star sea.

According to nautical charts, level six and seven demonic beasts frequently appear in this Black Sea area. Even Core Formation cultivators who come to hunt demonic beasts dare not venture too deep into this sea area.

After flying over the sea for seven days and seven nights, the black dragon finally arrived at a coral reef in the Black Sea called "Red Reef Island".

The island is crescent-shaped and contains a reef composed of red coral.

Yang Qingyuan took out the repaired "Inverted Five Elements Formation", as well as the newly refined "Four Directions Subduing Waves Formation" and "Thunderous Demon Extermination Formation", these three Core Formation stage formations, and set them up around the island reef. He also set up dozens of Foundation Establishment stage formations around the island to prevent any fish from escaping.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a Rainbow Grass from the central coral reef and accelerated its growth. Then he closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and waited for the monster to take the bait.

After waiting silently for several days, a five-colored pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky from the northwest of the island, clearly indicating that the Reversal of the Five Elements Array had been triggered.

Yang Qingyuan released his divine sense and scanned the formation. He looked surprised and thought to himself, "Two level-six demonic beasts have taken the bait in one go."

"One of them is an extremely rare demonic beast, which shows that the demonic beast resources near the Black Sea are indeed abundant."

Yang Qingyuan used an array to mask the scent of the demon-attracting grass, then he and Xue Chanzi rode the black dragon straight towards the northwest of the island reef.

Upon arriving outside the five-colored light barrier of the formation, they saw a black poisonous mist on each of the left and right sides of the formation, as well as a white sea mist, crashing against the formation's walls, producing deafening impact sounds.

Yang Qingyuan took out the array plate and activated it. He made a hand seal with one hand to control the array and dispel the protective demonic energy of the two demons.

But within the black poisonous mist, there appeared a giant red serpent, tens of feet long.

The giant snake had a rooster's comb on its head and its entire body was covered in crimson scales; it was clearly a level six demonic beast called the "Rooster-Crested Snake".

The monsters in the white sea fog are even rarer, with very peculiar appearances.

This monster looks like a blue carp about ten feet long, but it has the face of an infant less than a year old on its head, four white and tender human hands on its belly, and a pair of huge fish fins on its back, like wings.

What's even more peculiar is that each of the four human hands of this monster holds four different things: a huge red crab claw, a red coral several feet long, a white clam pearl the size of a watermelon, and a black tortoise shell that resembles a shield.

All four items shone brightly, clearly rare treasures, and were probably all from level six demonic beasts.

"Infant Carp Beast!"

"I never expected it to be such a top-grade level six demonic beast."

Yang Qingyuan was secretly surprised. This Infant Carp Beast was extremely rare. Although it was a level six demon beast, its strength in the sea was comparable to that of a level seven demon beast.

Back then, the Six-Linked Palace went to great lengths to capture a single Infant Carp Beast.

Rumors circulated that the demon core of the Infant Carp Beast had special effects, which is why it attracted the attention of large forces such as the Six-Linked Palace.

As for the effect, Yang Qingyuan had no idea.

"This infant carp beast wields the Water Divine Thunder; I'll handle it."

"You're in charge of dealing with that crested snake."

After discussing the matter, Yang Qingyuan and Xue Chanzi each dealt with a level six demonic beast.
