Evil Immortal!

With a flick of his sleeve, Meng Yuan sent out the Purple Star Sword Pellet, which hovered in front of him.

From the nine tiny holes emerged wisps of purple silk threads, emanating a chillingly sharp aura.

These threads appear incredibly thin, even finer than a strand of hair, but in reality, they are threads formed from sword energy. They are a unique sword technique that can only be comprehended after one has cultivated flying sword skills to a certain level.

Each strand of sword thread is incredibly sharp; ordinary magical artifacts and sharp weapons will be destroyed upon contact, and ordinary cultivators will die upon touching it, demonstrating its immense power.

With a flick of Meng Yuan's finger, these strands of purple silk threads wove together into a net, enveloping the beggar demon.

"Sword energy turning into threads? Hmph!"

As the purple sword threads wove into a net and enveloped the area within a radius of several dozen feet, Qi Mo snorted coldly. He knew Meng Yuan's purpose. Even if he wanted to escape, there was no way to retreat. His only choice was to face him head-on.

That swordsmanship is truly impressive!

However, having risen from a beggar to become a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion realm, just one step away from advancing to the Golden Core stage, he naturally possesses his own pride and abilities.

With a wave of his bone staff, the skull at the top suddenly opened its mouth wide and spat out a stream of grayish-white yin fire. This yin fire was viscous like paste, cold and piercing, and after it came into contact with the sword energy net, it actually started to burn fiercely.

Almost instantly, the net of sword threads transformed into a net of yin fire.

Moreover, these grayish-white yin flames were like maggots clinging to bones; once they touched them, they were difficult to shake off. Meng Yuan could clearly feel that under the burning of these yin flames, the power of these sword threads began to weaken rapidly.

Meng Yuan was not surprised at all.

His sword energy turning into silk is indeed a first-class sword technique, but while this method is effective against others of the same level, it is somewhat insufficient against the Beggar Demon.

Firstly, Meng Yuan's cultivation level is still shallow, with at least two minor realms of difference between him and Qi Mo, and this gap is not so easy to bridge.

Secondly, Qi Mo must have some skills to become the leader of the Ten Thousand Evil Cave, so he can't be dealt with so easily.

Seeing that the net of sword threads was quickly burned away, Meng Yuan simply formed a sword finger with both hands and gently pointed. The Purple Cloud Sword Pill in front of him hummed and transformed into a streak of sword light, stabbing straight at Qi Mo.

This sword strike was dazzling and sharp, tearing straight through the void. The fierce sword intent contained within it made Qi Mo's brows twitch wildly, and he felt a sense of crisis.

Without hesitation, he twirled the bone staff in his hand. As large gusts of dark gray demonic energy emerged, the bone staff twisted and transformed within the demonic energy, turning into a scaleless bone snake. It opened its mouth and bit at the sword light formed by the Purple Cloud Sword Pill.

However, under Meng Yuan's influence, the Purple Cloud Sword Pellet became exceptionally agile, entangled with him like a small snake.

Clang clang clang! Clang clang clang!

Two beams of light, one purple and one white, collided and struck each other, bursting into a shower of sparks, like metal clashing.

However, Meng Yuan's Purple Cloud Sword Pill was, after all, a superior magic weapon made primarily of Purple Cloud Meteorite Iron, and refined with thirteen kinds of spiritual materials such as Huayang Jade Marrow, Iron Mother, and Cold Iron Elite. Later, Meng Yuan incorporated a large piece of Yin Shen Iron Essence into it, making its essence extremely high and serving as the foundation of the magic weapon. Therefore, its essence was extremely hard and sharp.

Even though that bone snake was no ordinary creature, being transformed from a high-grade magic weapon, the bone staff, it was still slashed with deep sword marks by the repeated clashes of the sword light formed by the Purple Cloud Sword Pellet, causing the Beggar Demon's heart to bleed with pain.

This bone staff was a powerful magical artifact that he had painstakingly crafted over several decades, and it would likely be destroyed in this battle.

But he couldn't care less about the heartache, because he had already realized how troublesome Meng Yuan was. He gathered the yin fire that had burned the sword net and then transformed it into a skull the size of a water vat, its surface burning with yin fire, emitting a strange, cacophonous laugh, and flew towards Meng Yuan.

"The Art of Yin Fire?"

Meng Yuan chuckled and casually released the Purple Cloud True Fire. The fire transformed into a small, agile purple-scaled snake, which twisted and began to entangle with the skull.

Although the two differed greatly in size, the small snake formed from the Purple Cloud True Fire was still more imposing than the Yin Fire Skull. The intense, pure Yang aura it emitted dimmed the Yin Fire Skull's light, and after only a few rounds, it shrank in size.

The Yin Fire Skull is essentially a demonic supernatural power cultivated by the Beggar Demon. It is based on the phosphorescent fire in the century-old corpses in the chaotic graveyard, and it absorbs the corpse energy, yin energy, demonic energy, poison gas, and death energy bit by bit to cultivate itself, making it extremely powerful.

Even the slightest contact with such a thing can cause an ordinary person to have their body invaded by evil energy, causing their blood and qi to dry up, turning them into a corpse, and even causing their body to undergo a mutilation process after death.

Even a martial arts master like Li Lian, once burned, would be invaded by the various evil energies within the Yin Fire, leading to his death.

This yin fire is also one of the most powerful methods of the Beggar Demon.

Unfortunately... he ran into Meng Yuan today.

While his Yin Fire Divine Power was indeed formidable, Meng Yuan's Purple Cloud True Fire was an even more top-tier divine power. It was based on the Great Sun Purple Qi, which was refined and fused to create a Purple Cloud True Fire. Moreover, as it was nurtured and strengthened, its nature became pure Yang, making it exceptionally effective against demons and evil spirits!

So soon, the Yin Fire Skeleton was defeated by the attack of the purple-scaled snakes formed from the Purple Cloud True Fire, sizzling as it was burned, and its size kept shrinking.

For a time, the contest between the two reached a stalemate.

But both Qi Mo and Meng Yuan knew perfectly well that Qi Mo was now at a disadvantage, and if this continued, he would soon suffer a crushing defeat at Meng Yuan's hands.

"How is this possible? This kid is actually that strong?!"

Beggar's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was multitasking, controlling his magical artifacts and Yin Fire to fight Meng Yuan, while also trying to figure out how to break the deadlock.

In the past, he could deal with any cultivator at the Lesser Completion of the Purple Mansion realm simply by unleashing his Yin Fire Divine Power or using a magical artifact.

But Meng Yuan's methods were truly beyond his expectations.

Whether it was the opponent's sharp swordsmanship or the opponent's true fire supernatural power, they were both superior to him. This made him somewhat puzzled as to how Meng Yuan, at such a young age, had cultivated such powerful supernatural powers.

He gritted his teeth, about to use other methods, but at this moment, Meng Yuan flipped his hand and produced a red talisman that was two fingers wide and three inches long. It looked like it was carved from some kind of warm jade, and there was a faint, heart-palpitating lightning flowing within it.

This talisman is the Crimson Thunder Talisman that Meng Yuan exchanged from the Hall of Merit of the Demon Suppression Division. It contains a Crimson Fire Divine Thunder, which is a divine thunder of the five elements of fire and is most effective against evil spirits and demons.

When Meng Yuan previously created the mutated tumor clone, he did not use this item and it had been gathering dust in his storage bag.

But now, it's time to use it.
