The demonic cultivator was filled with extreme envy and jealousy when he saw Lu Xuan's top-grade magic weapon flying sword.
He, a true disciple of a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, did not possess such a treasure. Yet the other party, a rogue cultivator recruited by Wu Family Fortress, actually possessed such a powerful magic weapon. How could he possibly feel at ease?
"Don't run!" The demonic cultivator hadn't had time to take his two junior sisters with him.
He spat out a mouthful of true blood onto his superior-grade magic artifact, the Demon Soul Banner.
With a whoosh.
His magical artifact, the Demon Soul Banner, instantly shone brightly, and his escape speed more than doubled.
However, it is still far inferior to Lu Xuan's flying sword speed.
Seeing this, the demonic cultivator gritted his teeth again, spat out a mouthful of true blood, and the flying speed of the magic weapon increased by a little more.
At this moment, the demonic cultivator's face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Although his speed was similar to Lu Xuan's, his aura had dropped to around the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
"Swoosh~" Lu Xuan, who was a few miles ahead, noticed that the opponent's escape speed had increased so much in an instant, and his aura had decreased! It seemed that the opponent had used some secret technique that damaged his own essence at all costs.
This secret technique can inflict damage on an enemy by a thousand.
They themselves will also suffer considerable harm.
Lu Xuan also possessed many such secret techniques, but he dared not recklessly expend his vital energy, as it would not only shorten his lifespan but also make advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage even more difficult in the future.
This secret technique should not be used unless absolutely necessary; it is mainly used for escaping or fighting for one's life.
After a moment's thought.
Lu Xuan headed directly towards a direction deep within the Yunmeng Mountains. It was neither the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sect nor the territory of the Righteous Alliance. It was a natural danger zone called the [Ancient Battlefield Ruins].
This dangerous place is the closest to Wu Family Fortress, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators dare not venture in recklessly and risk their lives.
Legend has it that this place was a battlefield of ancient cultivators, and the lingering spirits of those ancient cultivators are ever-present. Powerful remnant souls of ancient cultivators often appear there, and they can even transform into demonic creatures at the level of ghost kings, wreaking havoc on the region.
"That seems to be the direction of the ancient battlefield. What is he going to do? That's a place that even Foundation Establishment cultivators are very wary of!" The demonic cultivator behind him was shocked. He wondered if the righteous cultivator in front of him had gone mad, daring to go to that place. Powerful ghost cultivators and corpse cultivators often appeared there, including many Foundation Establishment level demons.
Going there with only Qi Refining cultivation would be like giving the opponent an extra meal!
Never mind, he absolutely had to obtain the top-grade magic weapon; otherwise, within the Heavenly Demon Sect, he could only remain an ordinary disciple of an elder. His goal was to become a core disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a personal disciple of a Core Formation elder, or even the sect leader's disciple!
Several loud cracking sounds followed.
The demonic cultivator continued to perform a secret technique.
His bones underwent a strange dislocation, and soon the demonic cultivator transformed into a hideous monster three zhang in size, moving at incredible speed and getting closer and closer to Lu Xuan.
He wanted to catch up with Lu Xuan before Lu Xuan entered the ancient battlefield.
"Hmph. Good thing you came."
Lu Xuan gave a faint smile.
Flying at full speed, it took only a few hours to reach the edge of the ancient battlefield ahead.
It seemed that there were only some Qi Refining level ghosts here, and Lu Xuan dealt with them with just a Flame Blade.
Take out the map of Yunmeng Mountain.
Lu Xuan discovered that this place was a full 1,500 li away from Wu Family Fortress!
No wonder he flew at full speed for more than five hours.
Keep in mind that his speed is close to that of a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Lu Xuan's goal was simple: to obtain the demonic cultivator's semi-top-grade magic weapon.
That semi-top-grade magic artifact was too powerful; even he would have difficulty resisting it and would need some special methods.
This is a treasure that can easily kill a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Twelfth Level of Qi Refining, so Lu Xuan naturally cannot let it go.
During this time, he did not obtain any treasures or precious pills after joining Wu Family Fortress. He will have to join a large sect in the future to enhance his cultivation.
For example, the nine major sects of the righteous path.
"open!"
Lu Xuan found a suitable place.
He directly unleashed a late-stage Qi Refining formation, which he acquired at a small auction in the market for over three hundred low-grade spirit stones. This formation was called the [Five Elements Binding Formation], and even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator would find it difficult to break in a short time.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan released the remaining hundred or so black demon insects and hid them in a corner of the formation.
Dozens of talismans were also taken out, ready to be activated at any time.
The Soul-Devouring Banner is used to block the opponent's Demon Soul Banner.
His superior flying sword magic weapon was used for the crucial strike.
The first battle is the decisive battle.
One strike decides the outcome.
Lu Xuan only wanted to finish the battle quickly and leave this place, unless that Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect arrived, in which case he would have no choice but to risk entering the ancient battlefield.
Soon, the demonic cultivator stepped into the formation in front of him without paying any attention.
"combine!"
Lu Xuan muttered incantations.
The late-stage Qi Refining formation in front instantly closed in, trapping the demonic cultivator with three light screens.
"Hehe, it's actually a decent late-stage Qi Refining formation. If that's all, you're just waiting to die. I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve?"
The demonic cultivator didn't take Lu Xuan, a cultivator at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining, seriously at all.
He then brandished the Demon Soul Banner in his hand, intending to activate it to break the formation.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his finger.
The demonic cultivator looked down and saw that a black insect had easily bitten through the protective barrier of his mid-grade magic artifact, injuring his left hand and leaving a wound with extremely potent poison!
