Chapter 33 Slaying
"Moon Wheel!"
Seeing that his opponent was in a state of frenzy, Xu Yuanlang immediately made his move, sending two moon-shaped beams flying at high speed.
Wherever it passed, a white line appeared in the air instantly, as if the surrounding air was being sliced open by a sharp blade.
"Hmph, nothing special."
Seeing this, Mo Laogui looked disdainful and slapped his right hand hard, sending beams of spiritual energy crashing directly onto the moon wheel.
"Late stage of Qi Refining!"
The moment the opponent released their spiritual power, the three of them immediately changed their expressions.
Their spiritual power far surpassed theirs, so they must be in the late stage of Qi Refining.
"I'll hold off his bronze mirror, you all take the opportunity to attack!"
Xu Yuanlang gritted his teeth, preparing to take a risky attack.
"Yuen Long, if things get really bad, we'd better run!"
Yunxi, with a serious expression, reminded him from the side.
"No, the bronze mirror in his hand is too fast and extremely powerful. If we focus on running, we'll be picked off one by one."
When the bronze mirror was mentioned, the Yunxi sisters' expressions changed; indeed.
"Alright, then let's kill this demonic cultivator!"
The three men made up their minds and instantly glared at Old Ghost Mo with murderous intent.
"Have you made a plan? Are you sending them to their deaths one by one, or are you all coming at once?"
Old Mo stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the three of them disdainfully, and continued to provoke them.
"I'll do it!"
Xu Yuanlang quickly lowered his body, instantly gathering his spiritual power in his legs, and then exerted force.
"Bang!"
The ground exploded, and his figure vanished from the spot.
"go!"
Three sword lights suddenly flew out from the Demon-Slaying Gourd, heading towards Mo Laogui's brow, dantian, and heart.
"You're courting death. If you run away, you might live a few more breaths."
Mo Laogui gave Xu Yuanlang a mocking look, and with a flick of his hand, a strange ancient sword appeared automatically.
The hilt is a skull, with the sword blade protruding from its mouth.
The blade area has pairs of spine-like protrusions, like a large saw.
The hilt was deathly white, and the tassel was black and thick; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be human hair. This sword exuded a chilling aura and was a top-grade first-tier weapon.
"Pah! You wicked and crooked practitioner, you deserve to die!"
Mo Laogui slashed the sword light in half with his sword, then laughed heartily as he watched Xu Yuanlang rushing towards him.
"Boy, you dare challenge me at only the fifth level of Qi Refining? You've got some nerve!"
Mo Laogui was a peak Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator, but he encountered a mishap when breaking through to Qi Refining Level 9. His Qi and blood flowed in reverse, and he was seriously injured. At most, he could only exert his strength up to Qi Refining Level 7.
That's why he targeted the three of them, hoping to recover by using the flesh and blood of three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
"snort!"
His response was two extremely fierce moon-shaped beams.
"court death!"
The bone sword in his hand suddenly flew out and actually struck the spinning moon wheel.
"Snap, snap!"
The protrusion on his bone sword suddenly moved, as if it were a huge mouth biting into the moon wheel. In the end, his moon wheel was just a mid-grade first-tier magic weapon.
It was actually bitten in half and scattered in countless fragments. Xu Yuanlang felt a sudden, sharp pain in his mind. He knew very well that this was the backlash from the destruction of his magic weapon.
He bit his tongue hard, trying to keep his mind clear. When Mo Laogui saw that he hadn't fainted, he nodded with interest.
"Not bad, not bad. You have a firm mind. My Hundred Ghost Banner is still missing a main soul. I think you are qualified."
"Haha, let's talk after you defeat me!"
Mo Laogui sensed a hint of dissatisfaction and even a touch of provocation in Xu Yuanlang's words.
"Hmph, stubborn as a mule."
Old Mo curled his lip; he had seen too many people like this, but he still cautiously slashed down with his bone sword.
"clang!"
The bone sword was suddenly blocked. He looked up in surprise and saw Xu Yuanlang using the stone armor on his body to block his blade.
With a flick of his wrist, a terrifying force surged from the sword, and he felt his feet suddenly leave the ground before crashing heavily back down.
"Boom!"
Mo Laogui landed like a cannonball, smashing a large hole in the ground.
"out!"
Suddenly, three sword lights came toward his chest. He sprang to the side in a quick, agile movement.
Just as he thought he had dodged the attack and a smile appeared on his face, the sword light suddenly turned back.
"Damn it!"
He grabbed the bronze mirror and shook it, seemingly preparing to unleash a flash of light. Suddenly, the surroundings darkened, and the sword light vanished instantly.
"Blue Leaf Cage!"
A cage made of densely packed, flexible leaves directly imprisoned Mo Laogui inside.
"Blood Demon Sword!"
Mo Laogui roared, his bone sword flashing with bloody light, and he cleaved Qingyelong in two with a single strike. Before he could even show his excitement, the sword light was already upon him.
He hurriedly turned the bronze mirror around, and a flash of light shot towards the three sword lights.
"A good opportunity! Let's join forces, Hibari!"
At this moment, the two sisters, who had been watching the battle closely, suddenly released the bowstrings that had been drawn taut for so long.
Two dark figures flew out instantly, their target aimed directly at Mo Laogui's back.
"Damn it!"
Realizing something was wrong, Mo Laogui hurriedly threw out a piece of skin, which flew out and then inflated rapidly, instantly transforming into a monster ten feet tall.
It resembles a hairless giant bear, but its skin is gray, exceptionally smooth and plump.
The two arrows struck the monster, and a series of low, muffled thuds were heard. The monster began to cave in, while the spiritual energy on the two arrows flickered rapidly. Old Ghost Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The three of them work together really well, but as long as I'm careful with those two matching magical artifacts, they'll be mine someday...
"Qi-breaking needle!"
Just then, a needle as thin as a cow's hair suddenly appeared and silently pierced through Mo Laogui's dantian.
"Pfft!"
Mo Laogui's expression froze instantly. He stared wide-eyed at Xu Yuanlang in disbelief.
The dantian is the source of all qi and the foundation of a cultivator. If this place is destroyed, it means that all the hard work of cultivation will be in vain.
Mo Laogui had always felt he had everything under control; he never imagined he would be defeated by a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
This arrogance ultimately led to him being fatally struck by Xu Yuanlang, whose strength was far inferior to his own.
He looked down in disbelief, wiping his wound with his hand; fresh blood was gushing out.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
He instinctively shouted, turning the bronze mirror in his hand around again, and just then he heard a loud bang behind him.
The human-skin monster exploded with a bang, and then two arrows, as if they had eyes, accurately struck his body.
"Pfft!"
Mo Laogui spat out a mouthful of black blood, looked down and saw two fist-sized transparent holes in his chest, his internal organs already crushed.
"I……"
Green vines sprouted from his body.
