Upon seeing Bai Ziming use the talisman, Bai Mingxuan thought to himself.

This talisman was carefully selected by him. Its true name is Blood Transformation Divine Blade, a popular type of demonic magic weapon that requires the blood essence of many living beings to refine. Once struck by this blade, the injured person will not only suffer the slashing wound, but will also begin to turn into pus and blood from the wound, which will eventually be absorbed into the magic weapon as nourishment.

Of course, once it is engraved into a talisman, its power will be greatly reduced, but it will still far surpass that of ordinary high-grade magic artifacts.

This talisman was a spoil of war seized by the Bai family from demonic cultivators. The reason Bai Mingxuan chose it was because of its ability to be activated by essence blood.

When a Qi Refining cultivator uses a talisman, it takes at least several breaths to activate it, making them a sitting duck without anyone to protect them.

However, the Blood Transformation Divine Blade Talisman is different. It only requires the user to nourish it with their essence and blood, thus eliminating the need for activation. Although the user will suffer a great loss of vital energy and even experience a decline in cultivation, it is enough to unexpectedly secure victory.

Bai Mingxuan looked at Gu Fan with a hint of pity: "It's a pity that he can't be used by the Bai family, so he can only perish here."

......

On the peak of Yanfa, the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, leaving afterimages, headed straight for Gu Fan's neck.

Gu Fan felt his hair stand on end instantly and, without hesitation, used his Fire Release technique to dodge.

However, the Blood Transformation Divine Blade was too fast, like a bloodthirsty bat. In the blink of an eye, it made a graceful arc and caught up with Gu Fan's figure again, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to use a spirit talisman.

At the critical moment, the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels flew out rapidly, blocking Gu Fan's path and colliding with the Blood Transformation Divine Blade.

With a crisp clang, the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade was flung away.

But there was no joy in Gu Fan's eyes; instead, his face was ashen.

He could clearly see that the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels had dimmed slightly after the collision.

This is still a combination of two wheels, relying on the effect of yin and yang to enhance the power of the magic weapon. If it were only the Sun Wheel or the Earth Flame Wheel, it would probably be destroyed after three or five collisions.

The power of talismans is terrifying!

Bai Ziming missed his first attack, but continued to wave his fingers, and the Blood Transformation Divine Blade flew in an arc once more.

Gu Fan unleashed his Fire Escape Technique to its fullest extent, unleashing bursts of flames, but he still couldn't shake off the Blood Transformation Divine Blade. He simply used the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels to block the Blood Transformation Divine Blade once more, and at the same time, he patted his storage bag, sending a beam of dark light straight towards Bai Ziming.

Bai Ziming neither dodged nor avoided the approaching ghostly light. The ghostly light swiftly pierced towards his chest, but Bai Ziming's robe shone with golden light, and the three white cranes embroidered on his robe suddenly came to life, swatting the ghostly light away.

After the ghostly light was deflected, it revealed its form as a dark blue three-pronged fork.

"The robe is also a high-grade magic artifact!" Gu Fan's gaze sharpened, and he sighed inwardly that he hadn't prepared enough Heavenly Thunder Talismans.

Before the trident could be withdrawn, a flash of blood appeared, and Bai Ziming recalled the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, which slashed at the trident, splitting it in two with a single strike.

Gu Fan didn't have time to regret the three-pronged fork; seizing the opportunity, he pointed his right index finger at Bai Ziming from a distance.

A burst of fire erupted from his wrist, instantly condensing at his fingertips and transforming into a crimson streak like candlelight, which struck Bai Ziming's chest.

It is the spell, Blazing Sun Finger.

As the Blazing Sun Finger struck behind him, the golden light on Bai Ziming's robe trembled, and a white crane raised its head and cried out in sorrow before shattering into a golden cloud.

Bai Ziming was shocked, never expecting that the unassuming candlelight would be so powerful.

Each white crane on his robe could block a late-stage Qi Refining attack, yet one of them was destroyed by a single flame.

After the initial shock came anger.

The white cranes on the robe are all disposable. If all three white cranes perish, this precious high-grade robe will be ruined.

"Die!" Bai Ziming roared in a low voice, and the Blood Transformation Divine Blade flew towards Gu Fan.

Gu Fan used his escape technique to move around again. If he was caught by the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, he would use the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels to block it or summon a flying sword to delay it.

The flying swords were all practice pieces he made while learning weapon crafting. They were all low-grade and mid-grade magic weapons, and they would shatter after blocking a single slash. The loss here was considered to be making the best use of them.

While wandering around, Gu Fan was also observing Bai Ziming's weaknesses. After several rounds of probing, he finally made a discovery.

"He can't move while controlling the talisman!"

Thinking of this, Gu Fan's confidence soared, and eight short spears gleaming with cold light flew out of his storage bag one after another.

When Bai Ziming saw Gu Fan take out many more magical artifacts, he first frowned, but after seeing the spiritual light emanating from them, his expression relaxed.

"Knowing that a mid-grade magic weapon is ineffective against me, he still went to the trouble of doing it anyway. It seems he's run out of tricks!"

Bai Ziming's confidence soared, and he summoned the Blood Transformation Divine Blade to fly in front of him, preparing to cut down the incoming short spears one by one.

But then something surprising happened.

The short spear did not fly towards Bai Ziming, but landed two zhang away from him, stuck upside down in the ground.

Bai Ziming was completely bewildered. Just as he was about to unleash the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade to strike Gu Fan, he saw Gu Fan point his fingers like a sword and shout in a deep voice:

Four golden chains suddenly appeared beneath Bai Ziming's feet, binding his legs. At the same time, four more chains bound his arms, tying him up in the shape of the Chinese character "大" (da).

The golden robes only offered defensive capabilities, but could not withstand the sealing effect of the formation!

"What! Doesn't a formation require setting up array flags...?"

Bai Ziming roared in shock and anger, but halfway through his sentence he suddenly realized what he was doing and looked at the eight short spears.

Gu Fan's eyes were filled with joy when he saw Bai Ziming being entangled.

"Who says battle flags have to be flags? Battle formations are not such inconvenient things!"

Since he began cultivating, Gu Fan has devoted the most energy to the art of immortal cultivation, not to weapon crafting, but to the art of array formation!

After forging the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels, Gu Fan began to ponder how to apply the Dao of Arrays to combat.

Normally, array formations are set up in advance using array flags or array plates, and activated after the enemy enters the formation. However, if the array flags are forged into magical artifacts that can be freely controlled...

"This allows you to deploy your troops in battle!"

In fact, this method was not Gu Fan's original creation. Many sword formations in the cultivation world are formed by swords.

However, those who can master the sword formation technique are all highly accomplished individuals with profound knowledge of swordsmanship; even the flying swords used to form the formation need to be specially made.

Fortunately, Gu Fan did not need to set up a powerful formation. What he needed to set up was a first-order formation that could be activated with just array flags.

Golden Lock Formation!

Eight golden chains firmly bound Bai Ziming, while outside the barrier, Bai Mingxuan suddenly stood up.

"Useless trash!" Bai Mingxuan cursed without any manners.

The Bai family members behind him dared not utter a sound upon hearing this.

On the battlefield, Bai Ziming did not give up the struggle. After a brief moment of panic, he realized that the key to the formation lay in the eight short spears. If he could just cut one of the spears, the formation would be broken.

Thinking of this, Bai Ziming used his divine sense to control the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, preparing to slash at the nearest short spear.

With a clang.

The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade failed to strike the short spear as intended, but instead struck the flying Yin-Yang Twin Wheels!

Bai Ziming's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets!

Gu Fan no longer cared about the damage to the magical artifact, but instead drove the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels to tightly entwine the Blood Transformation Divine Blade.

At the same time, Bai Ziming felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to mobilize his magic power, and his divine sense was also feeling tired. The radiance on his golden robe gradually faded.

"Oh no, this formation can also seal magical power and divine sense!"

Bai Ziming finally panicked and tried his best to control the Blood Transformation Divine Blade to break the formation, but he was unable to break through the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels' blockade.

Not only that, now that the deadly threat was gone, Gu Fan also scattered talismans, raining them down on the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, hoping to buy himself a moment's time.

Time passed second by second. Under Bai Ziming's murderous gaze, the Blood Transformation Divine Blade transformed back into a talisman and fell to the ground. Without the support of magic power and divine sense, the talisman could no longer function.

Gu Fan grinned and summoned back the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels. A dim, almost extinguished aura.

"go!"

The Yin-Yang Twin Wheels, under command, spun and slashed towards Bai Ziming.

"Wait, I can redeem my life! You..."

Gu Fan ignored Bai Ziming's pleas. A brilliant flame swept around Bai Ziming's neck in his despairing gaze, and a spurt of blood shot up from his smooth neck.

Bai Ziming's head rolled a few times on the ground, revealing his eyes that still refused to close.
