Family Cultivation: I Become a Mirror-Chapter 261 - 239: Killing Yu Yufeng

Li Tongya concealed his figure and stood outside the formation, while Yu Yufeng inside was still screaming in terror. He merely lowered his head to watch, making sure no one was approaching.

Xiao Chuchou and others, with one at the Foundation Establishment Peak and two at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, had more than enough confidence to deal with Yu Yufeng, who was at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, so they didn't need Li Tongya to take action and told him to go on the lookout.

"Strike!"

Inside the formation, Elder Nanshan had already unleashed a flawless Jade Seal, swinging it down on Yu Yufeng with a burst of white light, which hit him with a resounding crash, and the two forces clashed mid-air, stuck in a standoff.

"Elder Nanshan! It's you! The Xiao Family... not good!"

As the Dharma Light collided in mid-air, sparks flew, trickling down from Yu Yufeng's palms, which had caught the Jade Seal. Elder Nanshan, invoking his spell with eyes tightly shut, forced Yu Yufeng to keep retreating, his arms tense with strain.

While dealing with Elder Nanshan, who was at the Foundation Establishment Peak, Yu Yufeng suddenly felt a chilling wind behind him; dozens of blade lights surged toward him like waves, making a sound like crashing sea waves. As he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged swordsmen approaching with a saber in hand, his grey cloak flapping in the wind. Yu Yufeng, having no choice, spurred his Immortal Foundation and held onto Elder Nanshan's Jade Seal with one hand, freeing his other hand to strike backward, slapping the blade lights.

Chen Taojing practiced the "River Qi Decision" spell as well, with profound mana, and dozens of saber lights cascaded down like unrestrained mighty torrents, bright and wide, an imposing spectacle.

Unexpected to many, Yu Yufeng countered with a palm strike, stalling the blade lights, then with a grab and a pinch, he caused a burst of clear water droplets to explode in the air and fall to the ground, dissipating the saber light completely.

"Yu Yufeng truly deserves his reputation with the 'White Jade Hands'; his strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

Li Tongya was now a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with years of experience and can distinguish the strong from the weak. Yu Yufeng, merely at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, was able to fend off attacks from both Elder Nanshan at the Peak and Chen Taojing in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. Although neither man had used their real abilities, it was still more than the average cultivator could easily withstand; his strength was formidable.

Down below, Xiao Chuchou, who had roamed the outside world for many years, and unlike Yu Yufeng, was not one to talk about righteousness. He swung his copper stick adorned with patterns directly toward Yu Yufeng's head, surging with mana and murder in the air.

Desperate, Yu Yufeng gathered his mana and pushed the Jade Seal away with one palm, counterattacking Xiao Chuchou briefly to gain some leverage, all the while mentally noting:

"The combined force of three people leaves me, a single Immortal Foundation cultivator, unable to probe out anything, it's all up to brute force now!"

Then, joining his palms together, six streams of white Dharma Light soared from his body, and faint crimson lines appeared on his skin, extending from his elbows and earlobes and diffusing in the air, looking like hanging tassels, emitting a faint scent of blood.

Yu Yufeng shut and then forced his eyes open; his pupils had gained a jade-like translucency. His clothes were tattered, revealing sculpted muscles, and he spewed a mouthful of blood-red refined essence, his terrifying eyes fixated on Chen Taojing.

"What kind of Immortal Foundation is this?"

In the span of a breath, Chen Taojing glanced over and asked in a low voice.

In a normal combat situation, once Yu Yufeng revealed his Immortal Foundation, Xiao Chuchou would have treated him as a formidable enemy, activating spells or readying magic artifacts to fight. Now, with Yu Yufeng trapped like a bird in a cage or a fish in a net, he wasn't afraid and even had the leisure to make conversation.

"Jade Court General."

Xiao Chuchou answered, and with a smile said:

"The Immortal Foundation forged by the White Jade Court under the Moonlight Origin Mansion had long lost that one strand of 'Courtyard Dust' from years ago, yet to witness it today still is quite extraordinary,"

"Indeed."

Old Man of the Southern Mountain nodded slightly, pushed out both palms, and replied:

"Back then, when he came to challenge the cultivators in Lixia County, it was with the fame of this 'Jade Court Champion' that he stood out. Many years have passed, but seeing it again still feels remarkable."

While these two elders were chatting away happily, Chen Taojing on the side was suffering indescribably. Yu Yufeng had set his sights on him, being the youngest and with the shallowest cultivation level, and closed the distance in two steps. Palm after palm struck down like Mount Tai crushing down, hitting his long blade with a series of metallic clangs, exploding in bursts of bright red sparks.

Chen Taojing dared not hold back any longer. The 'Vast Sea' was already set in motion, and clear, robust river water rose beside him, swirling around like twin flood dragons, constantly dissolving the incoming mana pressure. As his blade technique continued to strike out, thankfully his Immortal Foundation was especially durable, and his own blade technique was quite exquisite. Without considering the consumption of mana, he withstood Yu Yufeng's offensive by sheer toughness.

"Elders! This old brute has gone mad! Quicken to my aid!"

Chen Taojing shouted through gritted teeth, but regret was swelling inside Yu Yufeng's heart. The River Qi Decision of the Ling Yu Sect, once famous throughout Wangyue Lake, was now recognized by him as the 'Vast Sea.' He cursed inwardly:

"Damn it, to think this man possesses the 'Vast Sea'! Such rotten luck! Now that I've lost the upper hand, I'm afraid I might not even manage to take down a single person."

Xiao Chuchou burst into laughter and said aloud:

"Brother's Immortal Foundation is truly profound; even holding on for another quarter of an hour would pose no issue—you are far too modest!"

As he finished speaking, wisps of cloud and mist appeared alongside tiny specks of frost and flashes of lightning. The Copper Stick condensed dark Incantation Scripts, his already pale temples turning as white as frost. Stepping forward, he smashed his stick down on Yu Yufeng.

The Old Man of the Southern Mountain also brought his hands together and slapped the brocade pouch on his waist, pulling out a pine crutch. Together, the three of them surrounded Yu Yufeng in the middle.

Yu Yufeng, outmatched by multiple opponents, found it difficult to fend off the blade and resisted the stick with even more effort. The Old Man of the Southern Mountain's Jade Seal and crutch took turns striking him solidly. No blood shed from Yu Yufeng's body, only pieces of Shattered Jade falling off, dropping to the ground where they turned into blood-stained marks.

"Hmm?"

After exchanging a few blows with Yu Yufeng, Xiao Chuchou vaguely sensed something was amiss, feeling this person's mana was strangely corrosive and filthy. It was no wonder Chen Taojing, renowned for his robust and enduring 'Vast Sea' mana, was quickly requesting assistance after just a few breaths' time. Glancing at Yu Yufeng, whose Immortal Foundation's outward appearance was steaming with blood vapor, he whispered:

"Clever move, Yu Yufeng, consuming a Sacrifice with your Immortal Foundation, no wonder you've been stuck in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage for many years. How reckless to use such a thing, no wonder you've made no progress over the years."

Yu Yufeng remained silent, and after clashing with the three for half an hour, his condition had deteriorated severely, on the verge of being devoured by his own Immortal Foundation. He had no choice but to throw out dozens of Talismans which transformed into flames, green wood, and thunderbolts in the sky, each heading toward the cultivators' faces, while he himself took the opening to rise on the wind and flee westward.

The Talismans only briefly hindered the trio; Xiao Chuchou and the others immediately pursued by wind. Yu Yufeng managed only to strike the formation twice, stirring up waves. When they pressed in again, he had to turn and defend. More jade-like fragments dropped off his body, and even Chen Taojing managed to slice off half of his jade-like finger with a blade. Without uttering a word, Xiao Chuchou slightly nodded and continued:

"Your Cultivation Technique is quite remarkable, probably more than Third Grade, right? Had you achieved your Zifu, merging your life with Divine Skills, you would have been formidable in battle."

Yu Yufeng was speechless, his tongue stiffened in his mouth, the Elixirs he threw into it rolled out of the corner of his mouth. His eyes couldn't move, staring blankly in one direction. Xiao Chuchou saw his chance, struck his head with his stick, shattering it in a burst of jade dust. His body toppled wobbling to the ground and fell into four pieces with a thud, scattering fragments across the ground.
