CHAPTER 83: Secret Technique
Unexpectedly, this effeminate man was so powerful that he even possessed a supreme magical artifact. It seemed that without using his trump card, he wouldn’t be able to take him down.
However, given this person's strength and cultivation, he should be considered one of the elite disciples of the qi refinement stage in the sect, a seed for foundation establishment. Why would he be sent to undertake such a dangerous mission?
One must know that infiltrating enemy territory lacks both geographical advantage and manpower; the danger of the mission is nearly comparable to being on the front lines of a battlefield.
Although they successfully attacked the spiritual herb garden this time, it was only because the sect was unprepared. If they suffered significant losses and Yuan Yang Sect reacted and dispatched foundation establishment cultivators to investigate, then they would truly be in dire straits.
When Liu Yu realized the strength of the effeminate man, numerous thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he quickly controlled his spiritual consciousness to bring the black sword blade back.
Next, he threw the Mother Blade into the air, where it merged with the Child Blade. The black sword blade instantly became much larger, measuring half a zhang in length and five inches in width, its momentum significantly strengthened.
With a slight turn of the sword body, it continued to attack the pink seal.
This form of the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade had the greatest power but also consumed more magical power.
Judging that he couldn't defeat the effeminate man in a short time, Liu Yu reached into his storage bag and took out the long-preserved medium-grade fire spiritual stone, holding it in his hand to absorb spiritual energy and replenish his magical power, preparing for a prolonged duel of magic.
“Ding!”
Once again, it was a confrontation of tit-for-tat. Relying on its final form, the quality of the black sword blade barely matched that of the pink seal.
This was because Liu Yu's cultivation was ultimately two levels lower than the effeminate man, so the magical artifact's power was limited.
In fact, qi refinement stage cultivators cannot fully unleash the complete power of supreme magical artifacts; what they can demonstrate is merely a small fraction. To unleash the full power of a supreme magical artifact, one must at least be at the early stage of foundation establishment.
For qi refinement stage cultivators, the burden of a supreme magical artifact is still too great.
Magical power within Liu Yu surged like water gushing from an open valve, rapidly depleting from his dantian.
Even though he had the medium-grade spiritual stone to restore his magical power, it was still a drop in the bucket and wouldn’t last long.
However, at this moment, the situation was absolutely advantageous for him. He only needed to hold off the effeminate man for a moment until the allied cultivators dealt with the two mid-stage qi refinement cultivators from the Heavenly Harmony Sect.
As thoughts surged in his mind, Liu Yu controlled the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade to continue entangling with the effeminate man while observing the situation on the battlefield with his spiritual consciousness.
On the other side, Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang were rapidly engaged in battle with the remaining two late-stage qi refinement cultivators from the Heavenly Harmony Sect.
Both of these cultivators possessed high-grade magical artifacts. One wielded a green flying knife that danced and glimmered with spiritual light, while the other controlled a bronze lamp that emitted blue flames, easily melting the blue ice crystals released by Gongsun Cang. The blue flames seemed somewhat mystical, making everyone hesitant to attack freely for fear of damaging their magical artifacts.
The two sides exchanged blows with their magical artifacts, creating quite a commotion.
Although Hou Yanze and Gongsun Cang had a numerical advantage with four against two, they could barely hold their ground, preventing the opposing cultivators from escaping.
