Just A Daoist Who Occasionally Kicks Ass-Chapter 330: Tiger-Headed Golden Spear! Sword Arrives! Ten Thousand Crows Urn! Five-Dragon Wheel! Southern Fire!

Chapter 330: Tiger-Headed Golden Spear! Sword Arrives! Ten Thousand Crows Urn! Five-Dragon Wheel! Southern Fire!

Immediately, he opened the bundle and gave it a quick glance, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

“Azurewood Immortal Vine!”

This was an immortal herb recorded in ancient texts, used to nourish the primordial spirit. It was extremely rare, and it could also replenish innate essence.

“Take it back and use it to properly recover your injuries. I’m giving you face here[1],” Li Yanchu said.

It wasn’t that he had softened; he had suddenly realized the proper way to handle Chen Tianyuan.

“Chen Tianyuan, your swordsmanship is deadly and decisive. I hope to fight a life-and-death duel with you someday,” Li Yanchu said seriously.

Immediately, Chen Tianyuan’s body trembled. This Daoist Master Li actually valued him so highly!?

He had killed without blinking, yet still had no regard for the imperial court prodigy Murong Longcheng, and now he wanted to duel him in the future.

“Good!” Chen Tianyuan said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, he realized this young Daoist wasn’t so disagreeable after all. The matters of the jianghu were the jianghu’s concern. Chen Tianyuan really didn’t hold a grudge Li Yanchu for cutting off his arm. In the jianghu, that was how it went: You strike me once, I strike you once!

The blue-robed elder’s mouth twitched slightly. Was Daoist Master Li waiting for Miss Lu to save Chen Tianyuan again next time!? This absurd thought suddenly struck him.

Soon, the entire alley fell into silence. As Li Yanchu leaned on the Jiaoslayer, his eyes were as cold as ice while scanning the surroundings. More cultivators were arriving one after another. Their expressions were hostile as they fixed their gaze on Li Yanchu.

This handsome and elegant young man stood at the center while grasping a long blade, and anyone could see he had obtained a celestial opportunity and was now being besieged.

“You little upstart! Hand over that chance at immortality! I might spare your life!” an elder in a Yin-Yang robe said with a sinister smile.

Suddenly, there was silence, and the air around them was deathly still. The Yin-Yang-robed elder noticed that the surrounding cultivators were staring at him with strange, unreadable expressions.

Before he could react...

Clang!

A streak of blade-light flashed. The Yin-Yang-robed elder didn’t even have time to respond before his head was severed from his body.

Suddenly, a crimson carp appeared over his corpse, speaking human words, “You brat. You have no sense of martial ethics, how dare you ambush me!”

It was a fierce beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Henggong Fish. It seemed this Yin-Yang-robed elder had been the one clashing with the Celestial Hound manifestation earlier.

“Good! This one’s for you!” Li Yanchu sneered.

A tremendous aura of divine power erupted from his body, accompanied by fire that filled the sky. The Henggong Fish was struck with terror, as if facing a deity of the Celestial Court, or like the arrival of an ancient deity from the earliest ages!!

The Fire Officer’s Divine Edict!

The Henggong Fish’s manifestation quivered violently, and its mind was utterly shaken.

Clang!

A single strike shattered the soul completely. There was no chance to escape! It was the Fire Officer’s Divine Edict, which struck terror into the mind!

Li Yanchu had just received the inheritance, and even without fully mastering it, he could shock the soul of a second realm Yin Spirit cultivator.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a fierce bird descended from above! It was none other than Danyangzi, riding a white crane, his aura like that of a banished immortal.

He held an ancient sword, and his expression was one of disdainful authority.

“So it was you who stole the inheritance!” Danyangzi said coldly.

His voice echoed through the entire alley, deafening in its intensity! Everyone felt their eardrums sting, instinctively covering their heads.

In his early years, Danyangzi had traveled the world, leaving behind a fearsome reputation. This man was ruthless!

Upon entering the Jade Altar Blissful Land, he had slain the Fire Virtue Sect’s prodigy, Ye Hongyun! His domineering, contemptuous posture was unmistakable. The two faced each other from a distance.

Heaven and earth seemed to freeze, and the air was thick with murderous intent!

“Idiot!” Li Yanchu jabbed.

Why did these cultivators feel a bit like those Calabash Brothers[2] rescuing their grandfather? The demeanor of the immortal-like Danyangzi vanished in an instant, and it was instead replaced by rage!

With a swing of his sword...

Boom! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The sword-light exploded like fire and thunder, sending shards of rock flying. Then, a deep pit appeared in the ground.

Danyangzi was very pleased with the power of the Southern Ember Sword, and that was just after breaking through its initial seal. As the sword-light swung, blazing flames erupted in every direction. Thick smoke rolled and swirled, making it impossible to keep one’s eyes open.

Danyangzi’s smile spread recklessly.

“Today, you shall die beneath my Southern Ember Sword! Shattered to pieces!”

The immortal-riding-a-crane stance he assumed was truly an invincible posture. Wave after wave of scorching sword-light shot forth!

At this moment, Danyangzi’s lethality was simply terrifying. Perched high atop the white crane, he seemed to stand upon an undefeated ground!

“Southern Ember Sword?” Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow.

He looked up slightly and gazed at Danyangzi, who was riding the immortal crane and looking down on Li Yanchu, and let out a cold sneer.

Whoosh!

Just then, a flash of light, nearly invisible to the naked eye, streaked across. The overwhelming force of energy tore through the air, and everyone heard a sharp, cutting sound of air being sliced.

Then, came a wail. As the thick smoke cleared, the spectators finally saw clearly that Danyangzi’s immortal crane had been pierced through by a long spear, and blood gushed profusely. Its body had been blown open by the energy, and it was already lifeless.

The extremely tough tiger-headed golden spear was the weapon of the great demon Mountain Lord of Qingfeng Ridge. Just now, Li Yanchu had thrown it with sheer brute force, killing the immortal crane instantly!

Danyangzi, still holding the Southern Ember Sword, now had cold, murderous intent gleaming in his eyes.

“Damn it!”

At this time, Danyangzi prepared to unleash the Southern Ember Sword. He intended to blow this young Daoist to pieces!

Meanwhile, Li Yanchu sneered with his gaze fixed on the ancient sword and whispered, “Sword, come!”

With that, the Southern Ember Sword hummed incessantly. A sharp surge of energy stabbed at Danyangzi’s palm, then transformed into a streak of light and flew away. In the next moment, it landed firmly in Li Yanchu’s hand!

Seeing this, Danyangzi’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“My sword!” He let out a wail of grief.

Why had this young Daoist summoned his sword? This was clearly his chance!

“Do not speak nonsense! This is my sword!” Li Yanchu said seriously.

Instantly, Danyangzi’s anger flared. He immediately drew from his bosom an elegantly fashioned bronze urn while chanting under his breath.

Whoosh!

A flock of fiery crows shot into the sky, directly attacking Li Yanchu. The entire sky was instantly engulfed in firelight. It was the Ten Thousand Crows Urn, a legendary artifact once wielded by Luo Xuan. It had belonged to Ye Hongyun of the Fire Virtue Sect. After Ye Hongyun was slain by Danyangzi, the urn fell into his hands!

At this time, the swarm of fiery crows instantly evaporated the rain, while Li Yanchu remained calm. From his bosom, he produced an ancient seal. The seal expanded in the wind, instantly growing larger and emitting a dazzling light. The divine fire of the sky swept toward Danyangzi!

Heaven-Illuminating Seal!

Even facing a formidable artifact, Li Yanchu was not intimidated in the slightest. Instantly, sparks of fire exploded in all directions. The drumming rain was actually driven away by the immense aura of their duel, or rather, it simply evaporated. It was utterly terrifying!

At this time, Danyangzi’s expression darkened.

Seeing that the Ten Thousand Crows Urn couldn’t kill Li Yanchu, he summoned another magical artifact: Five-Dragon Wheel, another legendary artifact.

While the Ten Thousand Crows Urn was excellent for spreading fire with unstoppable effect, it was actually better for area attacks. In contrast, the Five-Dragon Wheel were more suited for magical duels!

At this time, five menacing fire dragons appeared!

Roar!

The dragons’ cries echoed endlessly as flames spewed from their mouths while they encircled Li Yanchu.

At this time, Danyangzi’s murderous intent was fully unleashed! Even Ye Hongyun couldn’t withstand the power of the Five-Dragon Wheel; naturally, neither could Li Yanchu.

Suddenly, a figure burst through the sea of fire completely unharmed. Then, a scarlet sword light flashed. Danyangzi’s face changed in alarm, and he hastily dodged!

Boom!

The spot he had just occupied was blasted into a massive, deep pit, and flames spread all around. This was no ordinary fire, it was the Southern Ming flame!
