The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Xuanming paused for a moment, then grinned and let out a strange laugh, which made the fire qilin shrink back.

"Another Lord of the Spirit Ruins?" Xuanming laughed until tears streamed down his face. "Is the Spirit Ruins your family's general store or inn? Are you two running a business together?"

Shen Yifei wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. But let me remind you, this is your last chance. Don't cry out in pain when you're inside the alchemy furnace."

"You little bastard, you're asking for death!" Xuan Ming was furious and didn't care about the wound on his waist. He leaped forward and rushed straight at Shen Yifei's face.

The black aura surrounding Xuanming resembled a giant black scorpion looming over his head, its tail raised high and shimmering with blue light, clearly indicating its potent venom.

"Wife, go!" Shen Yifei shouted, drawing his Changtian Sword and unleashing a Po Jun move to meet the attack.

Ye Ling was already prepared.

She flashed and disappeared as if into thin air, reappearing beside Shen Yifei.

The black spear, wreathed in golden light, was unleashed simultaneously with Shen Yifei's sword light.

The two, one yin and one yang, merged their auras in that instant, their spears and swords intertwining like a bolt of lightning cleaving the night sky.

"boom!"

Xuanming's black scorpion phantom collided with the combined spear and sword, producing a muffled explosion.

Xuanming was forced back half a step by this attack.

His expression changed slightly. That slap must have had at least 70-80% of its force. Let alone a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, even someone in the early stage of Ascension Realm would have coughed up blood if they had taken it head-on.

But the two people in front of him joined forces and managed to block his attack.

Moreover, the aura emanating from these two when they join forces is quite unique.

Xuanming finally looked at Shen Yifei and the other person with a serious expression, "No wonder you dared to act so recklessly in the Spirit Ruins, it turns out you really do have some skills."

He wasn't stupid. Although the exchange was brief, he could clearly sense that once their auras were linked, their combat power was far more than just one plus one.

In particular, the golden light generated when the spear and sword were combined, and the pure primordial energy of the five elements within it, suppressed his murderous aura.

Are these two people both inheritors of the Five Elements?

Xuanming was starting to believe what Shen Yifei was saying!

It seems that even if it costs me my life, I must kill these two brats today. Otherwise, if they really grow up, even Palace Master Di Yuan might be their match.

After thinking it over, Xuanming decided not to hold back anymore.

He originally intended to capture Shen Yifei alive and hand him over to Di Yuan for further study.

If Shen Yifei's Five Elements Demon God inheritance could be transferred to Di Yuan, perhaps we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to collect female cultivators.

And then there's this little vixen. The moment I saw her, I wanted to control her and replace the bone flute woman.

The woman with the bone flute was defeated by Shen Yifei. He thought she was dead, so he wasn't sad. Instead, he was even a little happy.

It now seems that none of these people can be kept alive, as each of them could become a major threat in the future.

He sneered, "Today, I'll first kill you two remnants of the Five Elements, and then slowly deal with the rest."

Shen Yifei wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Even if they could kill Xuanming, they would have to pay a price.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot act recklessly. He is waiting, waiting for the right opportunity!

Unexpectedly, Xuanming was decisive this time. He clapped his hands together, and the black scorpion phantom suddenly expanded. The scorpion tail transformed into a blue-black stream of light, which pierced straight at Shen Yifei and Ye Ling.

This attack had no fancy moves whatsoever; it was pure, overwhelming power. A full-force strike from a mid-stage Ascension cultivator was enough to blast a mountain into dust.

"Wife, let's unite!"

Shen Yifei shouted, and his aura instantly merged with Ye Ling's.

The golden essence resonated in unison within their meridians, and the Long Sky Sword and the Black Spear were thrust out simultaneously. The two golden rays converged in mid-air into a dazzling pillar of light, heading towards the blue-black scorpion tail.

"boom……"

With a deafening roar, the beam of light collided with the scorpion's tail and exploded, leveling most of the Beiyuan Marquis's mansion to the ground.

Fortunately, Hou Wanshan knew that there would be a bloody battle today, so after Xuanming entered the backyard, he evacuated everyone from the mansion as planned.

The moment the golden light collided with the scorpion's tail, Shen Yifei felt as if a mountain had crashed into his chest, his internal organs churning. Ye Ling fared no better; both of them coughed up blood and were thrown backward by the impact.

"Boy, you two are indeed quite skilled at the fusion of yin and yang, but your foundation is too shallow!" Xuanming's voice came from the black mist.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scorpion's tail rose again, its black light even brighter than before, carrying a foul stench, and it stabbed towards the two of them.

Shen Yifei gritted his teeth and drew his sword, while Ye Ling swept his spear horizontally. The two men's auras merged simultaneously, and the golden light met them once more.

"clang!"

Shen Yifei and Ye Ling were sent flying backwards, one on each side, and rolled into the ruins.

"Young Master!" Hongxiu cried out in surprise, trying to rush over, but Haixue'er held her back tightly.

"Don't go! It's no use you going!" Hai Xue'er shouted urgently.

Shen Yifei lay amidst the rubble, his chest wracked with pain, his breath reeking of blood. Ye Ling lay on the other side, her spear planted beside her, struggling to stand, but her limbs trembled uncontrollably.

Xuan Ming descended from the sky with a sinister grin, stomping on Shen Yifei's chest and forcing him deeper into the rubble. "Boy, with your meager skills, you dare provoke the Myriad Spirits Palace? You can't even defeat me, yet you want to cause trouble for the Palace Master? Dream on!"

He bent down, grabbed Shen Yifei by the neck, and lifted him from the rubble: "But speaking of which, the inheritance of the Five Elements Demon God on you is indeed a valuable item. Perfect, I'll take you back and have the Palace Master refine your bloodline; perhaps you can ascend to the heavens in one step!"

Shen Yifei's face turned bright red from being choked, but he refused to back down. Even with his neck being gripped, he still managed to say a few words: "You old bastard...you...you think you can rise to the top in one step? Dream on!"

"Haha... Dream on? Didn't you want to turn me into a pill? Let's see who turns into a pill first! And you, my beautiful wife, too!"

After saying that, he reached out to grab Ye Ling's neck!

Just at this critical moment, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth erupted from the corner.

"Let go of the adult!!"

The fire qilin's crimson scales seemed to be ablaze, with flames shooting into the sky.

With a powerful kick, his entire body shot out like a crimson lightning bolt, hurtling straight towards Xuanming!

Xuanming frowned and slapped the fire qilin with his palm. Just like before, he could easily knock it over several times with a single palm strike. Although he couldn't hurt the guy, Xuanming didn't take it seriously at all.

This time, the Fire Qilin did not back down. He didn't know where the courage came from, and he didn't care about being afraid. There was only one thought in his mind: Let go of the master!

Xuanming was still careless; he didn't expect the Fire Qilin to be so fast.

Just as he raised his hand, the fire qilin was already in front of him, opening its blood-red maw and biting down on Xuanming's wrist.

The fire qilin's large mouth held Xuanming's thin little arm in its mouth, looking like a toothpick stuck in its mouth.

However, Xuanming was, after all, at the mid-stage of the Ascension Realm, and his skin and flesh were as hard as diamond, making the fire qilin's teeth ache.

"You beast! Let go of me!" Xuanming flung his hand, sending the fire qilin flying. It then turned around in mid-air and pounced again!
