Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 818 - 370: Defeating the Hehuan Old Devil; Settling In_2
"Hmph!"
Liu Wuya suppressed his emotions and let out a cold huff.
With a flick of his sleeve, countless pink mists of peach blossom miasma surged forth, spreading instantly.
The intoxicatingly sweet miasma contained a soul-corroding poison and the strange power of defiling Magical Treasures, rolling toward the Sword Array.
This peach blossom miasma was specifically designed to defile Spirit Treasures, perfectly countering the opponent’s Sword Array.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
However, to Liu Wuya’s surprise, the Sword Array entered the peach blossom miasma like a hot iron piercing through butter.
The peach blossom miasma, containing poison and defilement power, was forcibly cleaved into a huge vacuum passage by the blue Sword Light embodying the true intent of decay and annihilation.
Wherever the Sword Light passed, the miasma disintegrated and vanished, emitting a piercing corrosive sound.
"What?!"
For the first time, disbelief appeared in Liu Wuya’s eyes and on his face.
His peach blossom miasma was once again so easily broken by the opponent?!
Having two of his Divine Techniques broken was something Liu Wuya found hard to accept.
However, Xu Ping’s offensive had only just begun.
"Subdue!"
The power of the Sword Array activated, transforming the vast Sword Qi into invisible shackles, instantly entwining around Liu Wuya, impeding his movement.
In the next moment.
Xu Ping’s Sword Technique changed again.
Seventy-three Sword Lights instantly merged into one, forming a hundred-foot long grayish Sword Qi of annihilation.
Before the sword even arrived, its terrifying Sword Intent had already pierced Liu Wuya’s Divine Soul.
"Dark Yin Concubine, protect my true form!"
Liu Wuya shouted angrily and fearfully.
A stream of pink light burst from above his head, transforming into a massive Dharma Aspect of a concubine with three heads and six arms, her face alternating between sacred and enchanting.
The six arms of the Dharma Aspect moved, unleashing waves of pink lustful light, weaving into layers of light screens in an attempt to block the terrifying Sword Qi of annihilation.
Boom!!
The Sword Qi collided violently with the Dharma Aspect of the concubine.
A blinding light instantly engulfed the sky, and the violent energy shockwave swept out like a tsunami.
Crack... crack crack.
Soon, a heart-wrenching crackling sound was heard.
The seemingly indestructible screen of the concubine Dharma Aspect fractured like fragile glass.
Puff!
Liu Wuya was severely struck, spewing a mouthful of blood with pink glowing specks.
The Dharma Aspect had been damaged, striking back against him.
His face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
The opponent was clearly only at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul.
The might of the Sword Array was so terrifying?!
"Retreat!"
Liu Wuya made a swift decision, having no further desire to fight.
He spat out a thick mass of pink light, enveloping himself, and transformed into a stream of light, fleeing toward the horizon at a speed far surpassing his arrival.
He didn’t even have time to utter a harsh word.
Xu Ping watched coldly without pursuing.
With his Escape Technique, catching up to the opponent was still too difficult.
Even with the help of the Water Lake Rat, it wouldn’t be enough.
He hoped Liu Wuya would have the sense not to trouble him again.
When he broke through to the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, or advanced further in Sword Dao, the result of meeting Liu Wuya again might be different.
Below, on Blood Bone Island.
Duan Shuang gazed at the fleeing pink Escape Light and then at the aloof figure standing proudly on the main peak, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude and a certain indescribable, complex emotion.
The figure, silhouetted against the sunset, appeared particularly tall and upright, like a Divine Sword unsheathed, sharp but deeply restrained.
...
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu, for saving my humble self once again."
When Xu Ping put away the Sword Array and returned to Blood Bone Island, Duan Shuang immediately approached, expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Xu Ping.
She looked at Xu Ping, her beautiful eyes flashing with complex emotions—gratitude, admiration, and a trace of an undefined sentiment even she couldn’t explain.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, you are too kind."
"Fellow Daoist Duan, you are too kind."
Xu Ping smiled slightly, his demeanor gentle, "You and I have known each other for many years and can be considered old friends. Naturally, I will protect you thoroughly."
"However,"
Xu Ping’s tone shifted, turning serious, "Although I have repelled the Hehuan Old Demon, with his character, he should not give up so easily."
"It would be best, Fellow Daoist Duan, to stay on Blood Bone Island for now to prevent giving him any opportunity."
"I understand." Duan Shuang nodded gently, responding earnestly.
Then, she bit her lower lip lightly, as if wanting to say something but swallowing the words back down.
Her hesitant appearance added an extra touch of captivating charm.
After chatting a bit more, Xu Ping returned to the underground abode of the Blood Bone Hall.
After repelling the Hehuan Old Demon, it was time to cultivate in peace and eliminate the remaining Evil Qi.
However, there were some important tasks to handle first.
In the underground abode of the Blood Bone Hall, Spiritual Qi lingered in the air.
Xu Ping stood in the middle of the abode, and with a thought, he retrieved the Eye of the Spiritual Spring, burying it underground.
Then he cast spell after spell, activating the Eye of the Spiritual Spring.
Buzz!
The Eye of the Spiritual Spring suddenly emitted a gentle white light, and streams of pure Spiritual Qi flowed out like spring water, quickly filling the entire abode.
Xu Ping nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the Spirit Worm nearby, instructing, "Go connect the Eye of the Spiritual Spring with the underground Spirit Vein, forming a complete cycle."
"Understood!"
The Spirit Worm squirmed a few times, then burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight.
Familiar with the task of connecting Spirit Veins, the Spirit Worm quickly completed it.
At this moment, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the entire abode increased even further.
"It is done!"
Xu Ping took a deep breath, feeling the pure Spiritual Qi flowing through his meridians, and couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.
