Shi Xuan narrowed his eyes, and his swordsmanship became even more ferocious.
Wherever the sword energy passed, trees were all destroyed and the land was deeply marked, already showing the imposing aura of her master, Lin Daozi.
Seeing her like this, Wang Yirang no longer held back and released the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although his realm was suppressed to Foundation Establishment, how could a true Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator who had been suppressed be compared?
In that instant, Shi Xuan felt immense pressure. She stopped testing her limits and unceremoniously released four puppets, two at a time, to deal with Liu Gandang and Chen Qing, while Shi Xuan focused on fighting Wang Yirang.
So what if Wang Yirang is a Nascent Soul cultivator? Everyone was once a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Only then did Shi Xuan finally appreciate the wonder of the Puppet Sword Technique. The sword manual said that once mastered, it had the power to overwhelm mountains and seas. Shi Xuan had always thought it was just an exaggeration. However, in his battle with Wang Yirang, Shi Xuan realized the power of the Puppet Sword Technique.
As long as he suppresses his cultivation, no matter what his divine sense, techniques, or experience are, they won't be of any use against Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan fought with increasing ferocity, forcing Wang Yirang to retreat step by step.
While dealing with Shi Xuan, Wang Yirang also had to keep an eye on the Lianfeng Sword. After the sword was released with its intelligence, it seemed to run wild, attacking Liu Gandang one moment and then attacking him the next, its whereabouts were unpredictable and elusive.
Wang Yirang never expected that he would be at a complete disadvantage in a battle against a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Before coming here, he had taken pills to suppress his cultivation and entered the secret realm with two Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivators, thinking it would be a sure thing. But who knew that Shi Xuan would be so difficult to deal with.
No wonder the Golden Core cultivator guarding the Divine Descendant Village also died at her hands.
Thinking of this, Wang Yirang suddenly took out an array plate and placed it in his hand.
"open!"
As the spiritual energy was activated, a white light flashed on the array plate, and a phantom rose from the array plate, then rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping the two of them.
Shi Xuan narrowed his eyes. Wasn't this the same trick he used to set up in the Silver Frost Secret Realm?
High-level array masters expend a hundred times more effort to store the array in an array plate, which can then be activated and used by those with lower cultivation levels.
This thing is not cheap, and it costs a lot to use it once, which shows that Wang Yirang was driven to desperation.
Soon, Shi Xuan was trapped by the formation, and a thick fog enveloped her, so she could not see anyone who came in front of her.
This is a maze. The two are inside it. Shi Xuan's vision is obscured by the formation, while Wang Yirang, who is manipulating the formation, can see Shi Xuan clearly.
With her vision obscured by the thick fog, Shi Xuan stood still. In reality, she was also using her divine sense to observe the other party's movements, but Wang Yirang was unaware of this. He only knew that Shi Xuan had been trapped by the formation and had become a lamb for him to slaughter at will.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind Shi Xuan. A sharp sword attacked from behind her. Shi Xuan dodged in time, but when she turned around, she could not see the owner of the sword.
Attacks kept coming from all directions, from places she couldn't see. Shi Xuan could have easily dodged them all, but for some reason, she remembered when she was fighting in the black market of rogue cultivators during her Qi Refining stage.
The acting skills honed back then might still be useful today.
With this thought in mind, Shi Xuan's dodging movements immediately became less fluid. Several times, the sword was almost in front of him, and he barely managed to dodge it.
She looked flustered and overwhelmed, as if the next move would kill her instantly. Wang Yirang thought so too, but after attacking for a while, Shi Xuan, though seemingly overwhelmed, managed to dodge each attack by a narrow margin.
As time went on, Wang Yirang's patience ran out. In addition, he felt that the spiritual energy supporting the formation was draining too quickly and would soon be exhausted, so he couldn't help but become a little impatient.
Just then, Shi Xuan suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground because his view was obstructed.
Now!
Wang Yirang was convinced that this was his best opportunity. Shi Xuan was full of weaknesses, and this was the only move he needed.
Without hesitation, he made his move! His sword was aimed directly at Shi Xuan, carrying a sharp killing intent.
However, at that moment, Shi Xuan suddenly staggered to the right, causing his sword to miss its mark.
With victory in sight, Wang Yirang did not retreat. He took a step forward and attacked Shi Xuan again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shi Xuan, who had been beaten into a rout, suddenly sprang up and advanced instead of retreating towards Wang Yirang's sword. She dodged Wang Yirang's sword at a tricky angle, but her sword went against the flow of Wang Yirang's sword and pierced straight through Wang Yirang's body, stabbing him through.
"You!" Wang Yirang stared in disbelief at the sword piercing through his chest. How could this be?
"Could it be..." Could it be that you were faking it all along?
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Xuan replied with a smile, "You guessed right!"
Wang Yirang was unwilling to accept this. He wanted to use his spiritual power to repair himself and fight back, but he was powerless to do so. He could only die unwillingly in his own formation.
If you had told him before that you would one day die within your own formation, he would probably have scoffed, thinking it was wishful thinking. But today, the most improbable thing has happened…
Shi Xuan stepped forward and took his storage bag, thus realizing his final value.
With Wang Yirang's death, the formation he set up also dissipated, revealing the two people outside who had been defeated and captured by the puppets.
The two originally planned for Wang Yirang to kill Shi Xuan within the formation and then come out to rescue them, but they didn't expect that he would die in his own formation first, while Shi Xuan walked out unharmed, carrying a bloodstained sword.
Their last hope was shattered, and the two of them lost all hope. They looked at each other and suddenly bit open the medicine packet in their mouths.
Shi Xuan had witnessed many instances of members of the "New Life" organization committing suicide at the slightest disagreement, and assumed that the two had ingested poison. However, it turned out that the two had not ingested any poison at all.
After taking the medicine, the two suddenly grew in size! Their arms, legs, and waists all increased in size by more than three times, and at first glance, they no longer looked like humans, but rather like two strong demonic beasts.
After the transformation, the two easily broke free from the puppet's restraints. With a swing of their thick arms, they sent the puppet flying.
This increase in strength is unbelievable.
The two entered the Azure Dragon Secret Realm with the mindset of certain death. Shi Xuan had already crossed the line of their "rebirth," and this time they had to be eliminated. They were the selected holy warriors.
The pills they consumed were also the Rejuvenation Pills, refined by the organization's pharmacists over many years.
If the Explosive Spirit Pill that Lei Zhi consumed before was a sacrifice of his future for a temporary boost, then this Rebirth Pill is a complete exchange of life for short-term strength. After this surge in strength, the two of them will die immediately.
Even though Shi Xuan devoted his entire life to studying alchemy in his previous life, he had never seen such an evil pill. It concentrates all of a person's life force into a burst in a short period of time!
