But in that case, amidst the myriad Blood Essences, it stood out particularly, losing the effect of concealment.
This was not his mistake, but a deliberate act.
He had just tested it out, although Zhang Yan’s mana is high, he still acts with utmost caution, absolutely wouldn’t let a single Blood Essence reach his front. Since that’s the case, he might as well create momentum, attract his attention, and render him unable to deal with other Blood Essences.
At this moment within the array, Zhang Yan’s gaze had already swept over, looking at the blood light charging with unprecedented momentum. With a thought, a fine golden light flew out from behind him, chopping down towards it.
Feng Qingping’s pupils contracted, and he immediately employed the "Microdust Shadow" technique, his body suddenly disappearing from the original spot. In the next moment, he had already transformed his Dharma Body into a Blood Essence nearby, still pinching for flight escape. He hadn’t gone far when another golden light assaulted. He repeated the trick, still using this Divine Skill to evade.
At this moment, Feng Qingping was less than a hundred feet from Zhang Yan, with his tunneling speed, rushing into the inner circle would only take a breath’s time. Just as he was about to make a push to burst through, suddenly, sword qi surged ahead, his vision was filled with dazzling sword light. In a flash, the scene ahead abruptly disappeared. With a quick glance, he found himself surrounded within a Forbidden Array.
He revealed a "so it is" cold smile, thinking to himself, "I never thought Zhang Yan actually mastered the sword array technique? Fortunately, this time I tested it out. Otherwise, in future confrontations with him, if not prepared, one would suffer a big loss."
He then thought again, secretly contemplating, "Although I have tested out many of Zhang Yan’s tactics, I should not have forced out his true killer move. However, I too have some tricks yet unreleased, fighting again, there might not be no chance to defeat this person."
Originally, if not for the incident of a fellow sect member falling into peril, reaching this point, if not to settle a life and death victory or defeat, he could have chosen to retreat. After all, each person carries only one Life Protecting Talisman, once used, it can’t be replenished.
But now things are different. If he just leaves like this, and if the sect learns he didn’t exert his full strength, they would pursue the matter, and then no one could protect him, so he had to continue on.
He spun around, making his Dharma Body disappear without a trace from the sword array, quietly merging into a nearby Blood Essence.
Once outside, he did not hesitate for a moment, swallowing the Blood Essence Jade Marrow contained under his tongue, feeling that his mana was fully replenished throughout his body, almost unable to suppress it. He then struck his chest, let out a loud shout, condensing most of it into a Soul Seizing Blood Arrow, with unprecedented speed, shot it forward with a whoosh!
Then, he shook his sleeve, casting out more than two hundred pitch-black Thunder Pearls.
This was his true trump card hidden on his person, these Thunder Pearls known as "Primordial Firmament Thunder Pearls," refined by the Blood Essence Sect for future Demon Cave confrontations. One furnace produced only about a thousand, which he divided with several fellow Daoists of similar cultivation. Typically, seven or eight could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet now he cast out all he had.
At the same time, he reached down, rapidly deploying the Forbidden Locking Heaven and Earth Skill!
In his view, even though Zhang Yan is also a Nascent Soul Third Realm cultivator, able to easily dispel this method, he only needed to trap him for an instant, delay until the Thunder Pearls showed their effect, and that would be sufficient. Even if he couldn’t kill him, at least heavily injure him.
Zhang Yan, facing this series of killer moves, still maintained a calm demeanor, not evading at all. Instead, suddenly a Jade Album flew out from above him, then opened. In a flash, the entire world was captured by a magnificent aura, a dazzling Spirit Light shot up to the sky, and everything illuminated by this brilliance, whether Thunder Pearls or Blood Essences, were all forcibly frozen midair.
Feng Qingping originally hoped to accomplish his task with one strike. Seeing the scene, he was greatly shocked and dismayed, intending to activate his Divine Skill to flee, but horrifyingly found his mana was like a stagnant pool, unable to be manipulated in the slightest.
Zhang Yan glanced at him, speaking lightly, "Fellow Daoist, you needn’t waste your effort struggling. This item is named Imperial Seal Map, a relic of an Ascended True Master from East Victory Continent, obtained by this humble Daoist. Unless you’ve achieved Grotto Heaven, don’t dream of escaping."
He well knew that with Feng Qingping being such a Third Realm cultivator, he most likely carried a treasure for escape. Without extraordinary means, he absolutely couldn’t detain such a person.
But this seal map could only be effective within thirty feet. Earlier, he deliberately let him in, intending to wait here.
Though he expended a Stabilization Talisman, it was a bit regrettable, but being able to slay a Third Realm Great Cultivator this time is worth it. Besides, Mingcang Sect is not comparable to Zhongtai Sect. If such treasures are needed, they can be requested from the sect when the Demon Cave appears.
He calmly raised his hand, a sword light swiftly appeared, circled in the air once, then chopped downwards.
At this moment Feng Qingping was both shocked and scared, being fixed by the seal map, he couldn’t even speak, could only watch helplessly as the sword light came, slashing diagonally across his neck.
With a hiss, where the sword light passed, a head flew up, then countless radiances surged forth, racing around. In just moments, his body along with his Primordial Spirit were all shredded to pieces.
A clear and resounding sound emitted, and a crystal-clear Jade Scroll flew into the scene, gently quivering, then slowly absorbed the scattered Essence Qi around.
Zhang Yan stood with hands behind his back, expressionless watching this scene. After a while, hearing the Jade Scroll emit a light sound, akin to a cheer, it reluctantly circled around a few times, then transformed into a brilliant radiance, returning to his forehead acupoint.
Feeling the Essence Qi returning, he operated his Mysterious Skill dozens of times, then fully digested it. Silently inspecting, he noticed the cultivation progress was stronger than before, nearing Fourth Realm Perfection.
After dealing with Feng Qingping, he glanced at the sky, swung his sleeve, with a rumble, water light surged upwards, sweeping away the thousands of remaining Blood Essences, restoring a clear sky. He then retracted his Divine Skill, stepping onto Gang Wind, heading toward Beichen Sect.
