Chapter 136 Sudden Enlightenment

"Bang! Bang!"

The magical artifact used by Ma Benxin was a rare one-legged bronze figure. It could not only be held in the hand as a weapon, but also controlled like a puppet to fight with people. It was extremely powerful.

However, when Xu Zhenqie touched it lightly, the one-legged bronze man made a muffled sound and was sent flying dozens of feet away.

Fortunately, Ma Yinglong was there to keep him occupied. If he got into trouble, Ma Yinglong would attack Xu Zhenqie from the side to buy him time.

"This is a Foundation Establishment Level 6 cultivator. He's truly impressive."

Ma Yinglong's all-out attack landed on Xu Zhenqie, who could easily block it. He knew that the difference between each level of the Foundation Establishment Realm was huge, but he didn't expect it to be this great.

"Damn it, this guy is having an epiphany right now. If he succeeds, he'll definitely break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"Get out of here right now, we don't want to get involved."

While speaking loudly, Ma Benxin kept his eyes scanning his surroundings, clearly indicating that he was not addressing Ma Yinglong directly.

Sure enough, right after he said that, a sinister laugh suddenly came from all around. Hearing this sound in the pitch-black night startled Ma Yinglong.

"Fellow Daoist, let me help you."

Two cultivators, completely shrouded in black robes, suddenly appeared and approached Xu Zhenqie from the left and right. Upon seeing the two, Ma Benxin raised an eyebrow.

"Demonic cultivator?"

He murmured to himself, thinking that he had originally thought there must be members of the Li family lying in ambush nearby, but instead two demonic cultivators appeared.

"The Li family harbors demonic cultivators? No, these two are probably accomplices hired by the Li family."

He watched as the demonic cultivator, yelling and attacking Xu Zhenqie, quietly called over Ma Yinglong and gestured for him to leave.

Without any hesitation, Ma Yinglong turned and left. After that, he had no more worries and attacked as well.

"Through the clouds!"

Suddenly, the magic sword in Xu Zhenqie's hand, like a phantom, pierced through the layers of defense of one of the demonic cultivators and went straight through his heart.

The demonic cultivator's expression was ferocious, his face filled with disbelief.

"How is that possible..."

He clutched his chest, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. As a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, his vitality was exceptionally strong, and the mere injury of a shattered heart was nothing more than a minor injury to him.

However, his aura involuntarily diminished considerably.

"How could this guy possibly be at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment? Wrong, wrong..."

The injured demonic cultivator couldn't help but scream. The other demonic cultivator felt it even more clearly at this moment. Xu Zhenqie's storm-like attacks were aimed at his vital points. After a few breaths, he could only parry.

Both of them were demonic cultivators at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, hired by the Li family specifically to hunt down Xu Zhenqie.

According to the Li family's estimation, the Xu family discovered that only two people attacked their Ling Mountain, and although they tried to conceal it, Xu Zhenqie was absolutely certain that they were the two people from the Ma family.

Given Xu Zhenqie's personality, he would definitely be unable to resist breaking free from the formation to attack. At that time, the two demonic cultivators would join forces, creating a four-on-one situation with the rest of the Ma family, which would definitely be able to deal with Xu Zhenqie, the most troublesome member of the Xu family.

As for the rest, Xu Xuanting was alone and couldn't hold out. The Ma family could eliminate them without him even lifting a finger.

The plan was good, but some minor flaws occurred. First, the two demonic cultivators had no intention of fighting to the death for the Li family. Although they had collected a batch of spiritual items and made a solemn oath on their own path, they were both extremely cunning cultivators.

They were simply hiding nearby, waiting for both sides to be severely injured before making their move. That way, after dealing with Xu Zhenqie, they might also be able to take care of the two members of the Ma family.

Their plan was excellent, but the only unexpected thing was that the battle turned out differently than they had anticipated: the two members of the Ma family were unable to hold out alone, and they realized that if they continued to hide, the two members of the Ma family would probably be killed.

With the formation behind them, the two of them simply couldn't win, which is why they had no choice but to appear. As soon as they clashed, the two of them immediately realized that something was wrong.

The intelligence clearly indicated that Xu Zhenqie was only at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Although he was a skilled fighter among those of the same level, it would not be difficult for three fighters of the same level to defeat him.

But now the situation is completely one-sided; the three of them working together are being suppressed by Xu Zhenqie's fierce attacks.

Flames inexplicably ignited on his magic sword; they were white flames. The moment the two magical artifacts collided, sparks flew everywhere, and their magic power crumbled upon contact.

"He is in a state of enlightenment at this moment, which is why his attacks are so terrifying. Not a single bit of spiritual power is wasted, and every attack is aimed directly at our weaknesses."

Moreover, he is now showing signs of a breakthrough. If we don't break his current state in time, he might break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"You two, if you have any powerful special moves you have, hurry up and use them, or I'm leaving right now."

Ma Benxin loudly reminded the other two, and the two demonic cultivators trembled, their expressions turning extremely ugly.

"Damn it!"

The cultivator with a damaged heart cursed angrily. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else. He took out a pill from his storage bag and threw it into his mouth.

The next moment, his body suddenly swelled several times larger, followed by surging streaks of blood-red spiritual light that flew out from his body and floated to the top of his head.

With a roar that shook the mountains and rivers, a huge, blood-red tiger shadow, several meters long and complete with head and tail, appeared.

"Blood Tiger Demon!"

Terrifying wisps of blood-red aura surged around him, attacking Xu Zhenqie.

Xu Zhenqie seemed oblivious to the danger and charged directly at the blood-red figure.

At this moment, Xu Zhenqie had only one thought in his mind—kill, kill all the cultivators who coveted Wuliang Mountain.

He entered a state of enlightenment, feeling incredibly exhilarated in battle, and was now able to do things with ease that he couldn't do in the past.

"cut!"

He raised the magic sword burning with pale flames in his hand, looking at the blood-red tiger shadow. Before he could make a move, a white line appeared in front of him, seemingly guiding him.

"Keep cutting!"

He muttered to himself, and with a gentle wave of his magic sword, seemingly without any hindrance, he knew without even turning around that the tiger shadow had definitely disappeared.

The demonic cultivator who made the move stared wide-eyed. His trump card had been sliced ​​in two by a single, seemingly effortless sword strike. He looked at Xu Zhenqie, who was flying straight toward him, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Help me, help me..."

He hurriedly called out to the other two, but suddenly his face turned pale as a tremendous force struck him from behind. He turned around in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, please take care."

Ma Benxin watched coldly as the magic sword crashed into Xu Zhenqie, while he hid behind and used the one-legged bronze figure to stab Xu Zhenqie's heart.
