“However, this battle will be extremely perilous. Although you’ve achieved Qi Refining Perfection, you have never faced such combat before. You must not act impulsively!”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

“Many thanks for your reminder, Senior Sister! I understand fully!”

Ji Suying acknowledged him with a nod.

Moments later, Ji Suying soared upwards.

She positioned herself at the forefront of the flying boat.

Elder Qing Teng’s expression changed abruptly.

“Suying, what are you doing?!”

Ji Suying chuckled.

“Qinglian Sect disciples, heed my command: Follow me to slaughter these evil cultivators!”

“Yes!”

As soon as Ji Suying finished speaking, the Foundation Establishment Disciples controlled their swords and flew directly towards Kangzhuang City.

The Outer Sect members hesitated momentarily.

Qing Teng swiftly intervened, gesturing to stop them, while casting an irked glance at Ji Suying.

“Shi Changxin has yet to be found, and we know little about the situation in Kangzhuang City. Rushing headlong like this is akin to endangering our fellow sect members!”

Ji Suying looked at Elder Qing Teng and couldn’t help but scoff coldly.

“If any mishap occurs, I shall naturally bear responsibility. As for whether it’s reckless or not, let’s discuss that after we’ve dealt with Kangzhuang City!” She eyed Elder Qing Teng thoughtfully. “Or do you believe, with both of us being at Peak Golden Core stage, that Shi Changxin, a mere Intermediate Stage Golden Core waste, could cause any significant trouble between us?”

Ji Suying stared directly at Elder Qing Teng.

Under her gaze, Elder Qing Teng felt uneasy and hastily forced a smile.

“Well, of course not, but have you considered that there might be other innocent cultivators within Kangzhuang City? If we truly unleash our wrath on Shi Changxin, won’t it lead to the indiscriminate killing of innocents?”

The corners of Ji Suying’s lips curled slightly upward.

“Shi Changxin is already using people to refine blood pills. Once our flying boats arrive, do you think he would spare those cultivators for his own self-preservation?”

Elder Qing Teng fell silent, opening his mouth as if to respond but finding himself unable to argue further.

Internally, he cursed under his breath.

‘Damn it, what went wrong here?’

It seemed they were so close to success.

Ignoring Elder Qing Teng, Ji Suying reiterated firmly, “Kill them all! Leave none alive!”

As soon as she spoke, the Foundation Establishment disciples let out furious roars and charged towards Kangzhuang City.

Meanwhile, the blood puppet master in Kangzhuang City was bewildered.

“No, this isn’t how it was agreed upon!” Sweat broke out on his forehead.

Quickly, he produced a small black flag. After channeling spiritual power into it, the flag swelled dramatically in size. The blood puppet master then waved the flag once more.

“Roar!”

A series of enraged shouts echoed from within Kangzhuang City.

Subsequently, over thirty stitched-blood puppets burst forth from the city.

“Watch out! It’s a Third Rank Blood Puppet, form the array!” exclaimed a Foundation Establishment disciple with a grim expression.

Quickly, they reformed their Flying Sword Roulette formation and directed it towards the incoming Third Rank Blood Puppets.

However, this time, unlike before, the nine Flying Sword Roulettes did not display their overwhelming might. Instead, they found themselves locked in a stalemate against the thirty-plus blood puppets.

Worse still, one of the Flying Sword Roulettes was completely scattered by three blood puppets.

The corresponding nine Foundation Establishment Disciples coughed up blood, plummeting from the sky.

Witnessing this, the dwarf couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter.

“Hahaha, foolish Qinglian Sect fools, did you truly believe Taio had no backup plans!”

As he watched his blood puppets slaughtering the Serenity Lotus Sect disciples, a look of satisfaction spread across his face.

Suddenly, a chill ran through the dwarf’s body, sending shivers down his spine.

Without hesitation, he swung the black flag behind him instinctively.

“Clang~”

The black flag collided with Liu Shunyi’s longsword.

Instantly, the dwarf felt a numbing sensation in his hands, causing him to involuntarily fly backward.

But that wasn’t the end.

A flash of lightning darted across the dwarf’s pupils as it rapidly approached him.

The dwarf’s fear surged.

For it was a wooden sword imbued with thunderous energy.

“Dammit!” The dwarf seethed with anger.

Hastily, he conjured a shield to protect himself.

“Crack!”

The shield instantly shattered.

The longsword struck directly against the dwarf’s chest but failed to penetrate.

Instead, the sword ricocheted away.

As the dwarf’s clothing tore open, his soft armor beneath became visible.

He initially thought he had narrowly escaped disaster.

However, moments later,

a terrifying streak of sword light descended from above.

It resembled condensed lightning, emanating intense heat.

“I can’t face this sword head-on!” the dwarf assessed internally.

Quickly, he waved his black flag once more.

A dense cloud erupted from it, and a wooden-faced woman emerged.

She immediately positioned herself to block the incoming sword light.

“Pffft~”

The woman was sliced in half effortlessly.

Yet, the sword light was ultimately halted.

Before the dwarf could even sigh in relief,

Liu Shunyi reappeared right before him.

His longsword swiftly aimed for the dwarf’s neck.

“You’re courting death!”

Enraged, the dwarf unleashed his Peak Foundation Establishment cultivation base.

A surge of violent spiritual energy exploded outward.

Liu Shunyi hastily braced himself to resist.

However, the gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment was immense.

Caught by the terrifying wave, Liu Shunyi was sent flying and ultimately crashed within Kangzhuang City.

The dwarf seethed with fury.

“How dare a mere Qi Refining ant push me this far!”

Now, instead of killing Liu Shunyi, he decided to turn him into a sentient puppet. He wanted the one who dared ambush him to suffer a fate worse than death.

But what unfolded next astonished the dwarf.

Liu Shunyi once again soared into the air using his sword control technique. Apart from his tattered clothes, he showed no signs of injury whatsoever.

“How is this possible?” The dwarf found it hard to believe.

No matter how exceptional a cultivator might be, Qi Refining remained Qi Refining. How could anyone withstand a direct assault from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator? Even if they somehow survived, severe injuries would have been inevitable, not emerging unscathed as seen now.

“This guy must possess some great secret and immense fortune!” The dwarf’s excitement surged.

Even his eyes began to gleam with greed.

“Boy, today you’ll witness the difference between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining!”

With that proclamation, the dwarf unleashed his full might.

A terrifying pressure instantly descended upon Liu Shunyi.

Liu Shunyi stood tall, expressionless.

Yet, cracking sounds echoed from his bones continuously.

Witnessing this, fear crept into the dwarf’s heart.

“Doesn’t it hurt him? And even under such pressure, he hasn’t knelt down! This guy is fucking insane!”

However, the dwarf quickly regained his composure.

“Chuckles, impressive indeed, but now you can’t move, right?”

The dwarf realized that although Liu Shunyi was exceptionally tough, under his overwhelming pressure, there seemed little the young man could do.

With this thought, the dwarf swiftly conjured a short sword and directed it straight towards Liu Shunyi.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Liu Shunyi muttered, “Ultimately, the gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment is like heaven and earth!”

After a deep sigh, faint red energy gradually rose around Liu Shunyi.
