Chapter 84: Tilt
The Golden Dragon Sword and the red curved blade clashed rapidly in mid-air. After several exchanges, the sword body showed several more scratches, and its spiritual light dimmed somewhat.
However, given the condition of the sword, it should still be able to fend off the red curved blade for a while longer.
Liu Yu narrowed his eyes, estimating the two magical artifacts, one gold and one red, in his heart.
Just as the situation reached a balance, changes occurred on the side of the effeminate man.
Seeing the urgent situation, dragging it out would undoubtedly lead to a slow death. The effeminate man intensified his magical power output, and the pink seal and red curved blade shone brightly again, causing their power to increase slightly.
The effeminate man's name was Yi Yong'en. He possessed dual spiritual roots and was specially trained by the Heavenly Harmony Sect from a young age. By age twenty-four, he had reached the seventh layer of qi refinement and entered the inner sect. Now at thirty-one, he was already at the ninth layer of qi refinement.
With the Purple Sun Grass in his possession and considering his own qualifications, he had a fifty percent chance of successfully establishing a foundation. The only reason he took on this dangerous task was that a golden core stage cultivator from the Heavenly Harmony Sect promised the inner and outer sect disciples that whoever could achieve great merit in this war against the Yuan Yang Sect would be accepted as a personal disciple.
This golden core stage cultivator's dao partner had fallen into the hands of the Yuan Yang Sect decades ago, leaving him resentful about it, which is why he issued this task.
Yi Yong'en had no backing within the Heavenly Harmony Sect. If he had a golden core stage cultivator as a support, his path after foundation establishment would be much smoother, and there would be a glimmer of hope for advancing to the golden core stage. Thus, he boldly accepted this dangerous task, hoping to achieve remarkable merit.
He had once experienced a fortuitous encounter and obtained a cultivation technique for enhancing spiritual consciousness. His spiritual consciousness was stronger than cultivators of the same level, allowing him to control a supreme magical artifact while simultaneously using two other artifacts. However, he had never revealed this secret, as those who had witnessed him fully unleash his power were already dead.
Seeing that he could not break free from the entanglement, Yi Yong'en, at the brink of life and death, no longer cared to hide his strength.
Yi Yong'en took out a dark green gourd, holding it in one hand while performing spell techniques with the other.
The dark green gourd immediately glimmered with spiritual light and spewed out three small streams of green venom, shooting toward Liu Yu like sharp arrows.
While Liu Yu manipulated his magical artifact with his spiritual consciousness, he kept an eye on the movements of the effeminate man. When the dark green gourd was brought out, he was caught off guard and felt a jolt of shock!
Could it be that this person also possessed a naturally strong spiritual consciousness? Or did he have some secret technique for cultivating spiritual consciousness?
As he pondered, Liu Yu continued to act without hesitation.
He quickly patted his storage bag and took out three Fire Serpent Talismans, drawing upon a thread of magical power to activate the sealed spells within, forming three flames in the shape of serpents to intercept the green venom.
After completing this, Liu Yu was still not at ease. He had no intention of hiding his strength any longer, and promptly retrieved the Black Iron Shield from his storage bag.
He infused magical power into the Black Iron Shield, which immediately grew to the size of a door and positioned itself in front of Liu Yu.
By this time, the Fire Serpents were already in contact with the venom, but an unexpected situation occurred.
The venom pierced through the body of the Fire Serpent, creating a small hole, and passed through, only shrinking in size slightly.
