156: The Blue Sword Shows Its Power

Yuan Wang's eyes were filled with unwillingness; he did not beg for mercy, knowing that it would be meaningless now.

The Qingming Sword pierced Yuan Wang's heart, and a large amount of blood splattered out.

"Grandpa, he's not dead yet," Lin Yongmao reminded.

Lin Xuanbo knew, so the Qingming Sword attacked Yuan Wang's brain and Dantian again.

Yuan Wang's brain was shattered by the Qingming Sword, brain matter and blood flowed out wildly, and his Divine Soul completely dispersed.

The Qingming Sword attacked Yuan Wang's Dantian again until a thumb-sized Golden Core flew out, and then the attack stopped.

Lin Xuanbo stepped forward, and the Qi vortex formed by his True Essence bound the Golden Core, which Lin Xuanbo then Sealed in a jade box.

At this point, Yuan Wang was completely dead, with no chance of resurrection.

Lin Yongmao also let out a sigh of relief; at least they had one less overt powerful enemy.

Luo Wei's face darkened when he saw this scene, not expecting someone to kill Yuan Wang right under his nose.

Qinglan Sect lost Yuan Wang, a Sect Master and Golden Core Cultivator, and its overall strength declined significantly.

As an old Grand Elder of Qinglan Sect, he preferred to enjoy the Sect's resources from behind the scenes and was unwilling to painstakingly manage the Sect's affairs, big or small.

At the same time, he also became wary.

The Lin Family truly lived up to its reputation as a Family that started with spiritual plant; the various spiritual plant they brought out were elusive, some containing potent poisons, some skilled in control, and others specializing in offense and defense...

If he wasn't careful, he might fall into their trap.

Lin Yongmao and Lin Xuanbo both looked at Luo Wei.

At this moment, he was the Lin Family's greatest enemy; as long as he was killed, the Lin Family would be at peace thereafter.

However, Luo Wei was an old Golden Core Immortal Master after all, and dealing with him would certainly be more troublesome.

For example, Luo Wei had a Lifebound Treasure, while Yuan Wang did not; Luo Wei knew secret Divine Sense attack techniques, while Yuan Wang did not.

This was the difference between the two; although both were Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators, there was still a distinction in strength.

The two sides fell into a brief stalemate, and eventually, Luo Wei couldn't stand it anymore.

He whispered, "Fellow Daoist, stop hiding. This Lin Family's development momentum is too fierce. If we wait a bit longer, even if we join forces, we won't be their match."

The Black-robed Man hiding in the shadows also walked out at this moment; he felt that Luo Wei's words made a lot of sense.

He had basically figured out the situation of the Lin Family; the strongest should be this Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator named Lin Xuanbo, and with the protection of the Formation, they were able to withstand the attacks of a large number of Qinglan Sect Cultivators.

But his cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Late Stage.

The Black-robed Man and Luo Wei stood side by side, giving the Lin Family members an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Although they couldn't discern the Black-robed Man's cultivation, they knew that he could stand equally with Luo Wei, which meant he was definitely not simple.

At this moment, the greatest pressure was on Lin Xuanbo; the Lin Family only had him, one Golden Core Immortal Master, and he had to stand at the forefront, bearing all possible attacks.

The Black-robed Man whispered to Luo Wei, "Fellow Daoist Luo, let's both use our Lifebound Treasure and break this Formation first."

He had already made the first move; with a raise of his hand, a mysterious black banner appeared.

This mysterious black banner was shrouded in black Qi, unlike an ordinary Magic Treasure; it somewhat resembled...

It somewhat resembled a demonic Cultivator's Magic Treasure.

Demonic Cultivators have a type of Lifebound Treasure that is not complicated to refine but has extremely strong growth potential, only requiring constantDevour of living souls.

That is—the Myriad Souls Banner.

As the Myriad Souls Banner devours more living souls, it becomes stronger and stronger, and at the same time, it feeds back to the Cultivator, continuously enhancing the Cultivator's cultivation.

Therefore, most demonic Cultivators' cultivation growth speed is faster than that of ordinary Cultivators.

Of course, there is also a drawback: the living souls in the Myriad Souls Banner will affect the host's temperament, ranging from becoming extremely bloodthirsty to directly suffering a mental breakdown.

Judging from the Myriad Souls Banner in the Black-robed Man's hand, he had killed many Cultivators and Yao Beast.

On the mysterious black banner surface, it was clearly visible that living souls were constantly devouring each other, just like raising Gu.

The soul bodies had also solidified, and several of the living souls within had cultivation levels no less than Third-tier.

The Black-robed Man waved the Myriad Souls Banner, and immediately several living souls flew out from within the banner under his control, targeting the Formation's light shield.

Luo Wei also quickly took action; his Lifebound Treasure, the [Warm Jade Ruler], flew out from his Dantian and directly smashed towards the Formation's light shield.

The pressure was on Lin Yongmao, who quickly controlled the thousand-year-old spiritual plant to defend.

Iron Heart Willow Tree formed a tree wall, which resisted the gnawing of the living souls and the striking of the Warm Jade Ruler.

It could barely hold on.

Lin Xuanbo naturally couldn't let his grandson face this attack alone; he quickly controlled his [Lifebound Treasure · Qingming Sword] to fight the enemy.

The Qingming Sword's target was the Warm Jade Ruler, and the two Lifebound Treasures immediately collided, producing a sharp clanging sound of metal, with neither side willing to give way.

Luo Wei's expression was grim, but he was very confident; he was an old Golden Core Immortal Master of Qingyang.

In the Qingyang region, if he claimed to be second, no one would dare claim to be first.

However, he was also secretly surprised: why could Lin Xuanbo refine a Lifebound Treasure in such a short time?

And where did that Third-tier Artifact Refiner come from?

Could it be that their Lin Family had another Third-tier Artifact Refiner?

Luo Wei shook his head, trying to dispel this distracting thought from his mind, and concentrated all his Divine Sense to control the Warm Jade Ruler.

The violent fire attribute erupted on the Warm Jade Ruler; the entire Warm Jade Ruler seemed to be on the verge of igniting, and each movement dragged a fiery red tail flame.

On the other hand, Lin Xuanbo's Lifebound Treasure Flying Sword, which should be a wood-attribute Flying Sword, was just countered by the attribute of his Warm Jade Ruler.

"You're dead!" Luo Wei muttered to himself.

The Qingming Sword circled in the air, changing from its original greenish-blue to purplish-black.

"The attribute changed? How is this possible?"

Lin Xuanzhong had mastered the two forms of the Qingming Sword, and what was now displayed was the original characteristic of the Nether Spirit Bamboo.

The purplish-black long sword seemed to swallow the surrounding light, and the black sword light seemed to tear apart the surrounding space.

The Flying Sword hovered in front of Luo Wei, making him feel a stinging sensation on his skin.

This Flying Sword was absolutely incomparably sharp; if it struck his Physical Body, it could easily cut him in two.

The suppression that the Warm Jade Ruler originally had over the Qingming Sword vanished without a trace, and instead, there was a feeling of being suppressed.

"Quick!"

Lin Xuanbo cast a spell and shouted loudly, and the Qingming Sword burst forth with its full speed to attack the Warm Jade Ruler.

The two collided, and the spiritual energy pressure was astonishingly great; even the Lin Family members, despite being within the Formation, felt a sensation of being unable to lift their heads or open their eyes.

"Crack!"

A faint cracking sound, though subtle, clearly entered everyone's ears.

"It broke, it broke..."
