Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 132: I'll Kill You! (Seeking votes and subscriptions for the third update!)

Zhu Hongming's screams were completely drowned out by intense pain. He couldn't even hear what Gao Xian was saying, let alone have the energy to confront him.

Seeing Zhu Hongming's pitiful and miserable appearance, Gao Xian lost interest in him.

He was just a big talker, only good at using his mouth to threaten others. When faced with real danger, he immediately backed down.

Gao Xian's gaze shifted to Zhu Qinghe. The middle-aged man's face was ugly, and his eyes revealed an undisguised panic.

It seemed that Zhu Qinghe was frightened by the sword strike just now.

When Zhu Qinghe's calm and deep gaze met Gao Xian's, his heart sank.

This little alchemist's swordsmanship was unexpectedly powerful, far beyond his expectations.

Especially the calmness and indifference after killing someone, it was clear that he was an experienced killer.

Without the Patriarch present, Zhu Qinghe didn't have confidence in defeating Gao Xian!

Zhu Qinghe felt a sense of unease, but he couldn't just turn around and run away.

All four of the young people were talents of the Zhu family, specially brought out by the Patriarch to gain experience.

Now they were all killed by Gao Xian. How could he explain this to the Patriarch?

On the other hand, Zhu Qinghe believed that his cultivation level was far superior to Gao Xian's. Even if he couldn't match him in swordsmanship, he had enough confidence to fight back with his talismans and magical tools.

Zhu Qinghe tightly gripped the Qingmu Fei Lei Talisman in his hand. This was a second-grade talisman, its power even enough to threaten a Foundation Building cultivator.

However, the more powerful the talisman, the more troublesome it was to activate.

He needed to adjust his mana and recite the incantation, resonating his mana with the talisman, in order to control the power of the Qingmu Fei Lei Talisman.

Zhu Qinghe was afraid of Gao Xian's swift sword. He deliberately said, "They were just trying to scare you, why take it seriously?"

"The Patriarch values you so much that he won't hold you accountable. But now that you've killed Hongming and the others, how do you plan to end this?"

With the Flower Discerning Mirror, Gao Xian could see Zhu Qinghe's subtle movements and the strong thunderous mana circulating in his sleeve.

Even without the Flower Discerning Mirror, his powerful divine sense could sense the changes in the talisman.

The other party was deliberately talking to him just to buy time.

A Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level, being so cautious. No wonder Zhu Changsheng left him to control the situation.

But Gao Xian had no idea how many Qi Refining cultivators at the ninth level he had killed.

Gao Xian said to Zhu Qinghe, "I was thinking of giving in, but then I realized that you all are not worthy."

Zhu Qinghe said in a deep voice, "If you surrender now, you still have a chance to live. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Don't get excited, as a guest from afar, let me treat you to an ice popsicle..." Gao Xian said, flicking his finger. A transparent ice cone, about a foot long, shot through the air and directly towards Zhu Qinghe.

"Ice Arrow Technique?" Zhu Qinghe immediately recognized the spell Gao Xian was using. The fact that the other party was using such a low-level spell for an attack was laughable.

But he quickly realized something was wrong. The speed of this ice cone was too fast!

Without much thought, Zhu Qinghe immediately raised his wooden shield. The green light radiating from the wooden shield was over four feet tall, enough to cover most of his body.

In his right hand, the Thunderous Wood Talisman was almost complete, and he raised his hand to make the final activation.

The green light on the wooden shield trembled, but was instantly pierced by the ice cone that shot towards it.

This change greatly exceeded Zhu Qinghe's expectations. He quickly dodged to the side, but the ice cone suddenly split into nine cones and shot towards him from different angles.

Zhu Qinghe didn't have time to react and was pierced through his body by the nine ice cones from head to toe.

One of the ice cones pierced through Zhu Qinghe's forehead, completely ending his life.

Zhu Qinghe staggered and fell to the ground, no longer making any sound.

The Thunderous Wood Talisman in his sleeve quickly dissipated and returned to its original state because there was no one to control and activate it.

Gao Xian looked down at Zhu Qinghe lying on the ground and said, "How about it, isn't it refreshing?!"

Zhu Qinghe, whose head had been pierced by the ice cone, couldn't speak. A strand of white cold air was expelled from his wide-open mouth, seemingly indicating to Gao Xian that he was truly chilled to the bone.

The combination of the Master-level Ice Arrow Technique and the Proficient-level Ice and Fire Nine Heavens created an extremely exquisite variation. It pushed the power and variation of the Ice Arrow Technique to an unimaginable level.

With just this spell, killing a Qi Refining late-stage cultivator was as easy as cutting vegetables.

Zhu Changsheng went to find Qi Niang. Time was urgent, and he didn't have time to clean up the battlefield.

Gao Xian glanced at Zhu Hongming, who was still screaming on the ground, and said softly, "I am a kind-hearted person who can't bear to see others suffer. Let me send you off."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger and an ice cone pierced through Zhu Hongming's head, ending all his pain.

When he had just made his move, he had a lot of resentment, but now that he had vented it all out, there was no need to torment the other party. He wasn't that kind of cruel person.

Gao Xian turned around and patted the dumbfounded Da Niu on the shoulder. "You clean up here. This is a storage talisman, put the bodies here."

Gao Xian handed Da Niu a storage talisman, then thought for a moment and said, "Once you're done, leave immediately. Go hide in the house to the west. If nothing happens, I will come find you."

Last year, in order to take refuge, he and Qi Niang rented a house on the western edge of Feima Village.

Although the Seven Kill Sect had temporarily retreated, no one knew when they would come back. The house was kept as a refuge.

He may not necessarily win if he goes to find Zhu Changsheng desperately.

If he loses, he can only go to the Yellow Springs with Qi Niang. There is no need for Da Niu to accompany them in death.

Da Niu should go to the shelter first to see the situation. Even if they fail, Da Niu still has a chance to escape.

Gao Xian and Da Niu gave a few instructions, regardless of whether the other party listened or not. Gao Xian floated out of the courtyard and headed straight for Changsheng Hall.

His home was already in the central area, very close to Changsheng Hall.

The magnetic wheel was fast, and in just a dozen breaths, Gao Xian had already arrived at the backyard of Changsheng Hall.

Zhu Qi Niang usually looked at the accounts and managed the business in the backyard, rarely going to the front shops.

Using the Flower Spirit Mirror, Gao Xian immediately locked onto Zhu Qi Niang and also saw Zhu Changsheng, whose magical power was as strong as fire. As for the other middle-aged man, he was in the front hall. This person was not important and not worth paying attention to.

When Zhu Qi Niang and Zhu Changsheng stood together, the difference in their magical power levels was obvious.

Zhu Changsheng's magical power flame was ten times stronger than Zhu Qi Niang's.

This doesn't mean that Zhu Changsheng's magical power is ten times stronger than Zhu Qi Niang's, but rather that in terms of overall magical power level, spiritual consciousness level, secret technique level, etc., Zhu Changsheng's power completely overwhelmed Zhu Qi Niang.

Gao Xian was not as strong as Zhu Qi Niang in terms of magical power, so the gap between him and Zhu Changsheng was even greater.

He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. If he only looked at magical power, he was like a cat challenging a tiger.

Apart from being slightly more agile, there was no comparison in other aspects.

However, magical power is not the most important factor in determining the outcome of a battle.

He had the Qinglian Sword, the Electric Dragon Hand, the Great Occult Nerve, and the Shadowless Robe. As long as he succeeded in one strike, it would be enough to determine victory or defeat. There was no need to compete with Zhu Changsheng in terms of magical power.

Through the Flower Spirit Mirror, Gao Xian saw that Zhu Changsheng and Zhu Qi Niang were still talking and did not immediately make a move.

He also breathed a sigh of relief. Since there was still time, he needed to make some preparations.

Gao Xian closed his eyes and entered the Temple of Heart and Mind. After several months of hard cultivation, his Shadowless Robe was still five thousand points away from leveling up.

He invested five thousand points of Human Dao Spiritual Light to raise the Shadowless Robe to the Expert level. Then he invested another fourteen thousand points of Human Dao Spiritual Light to elevate the Shadowless Robe to the Master level.

Shadowless Robe: Magical power condenses into a robe that envelops the entire body, transforming into an invisible state with powerful defensive capabilities. It can freely transform into an intangible state. (1/20000 Master)

Lan Jie demonstrated the Master level Shadowless Robe to Gao Xian.

Gao Xian also activated the Shadowless Robe and tested its effectiveness.

He briefly summarized that the Master level Shadowless Robe was more stable and had stronger defensive capabilities.

The most important change was that the intangible state could be maintained for two breaths.

Two breaths, in fact, meant four seconds. Four seconds was not a short time in battle.

Invisible state can penetrate obstacles, penetrate formations, evade various attacks of spells and swords.

Moreover, this invisible state can be switched multiple times in an instant, giving him more variability in battle.

Gao Xian is very satisfied with the upgrade effect of the Shadowless Robe, which gives him more confidence in the upcoming battle.

With over a thousand points of Human Dao Spiritual Light remaining, Gao Xian immediately invests them all into the Sun Spear, raising it to the expert level.

The Sun Spear, as a soul-type spell, naturally poses no threat to a Foundation Building cultivator.

However, the Sun Spear also has another function, which is to enhance spiritual consciousness.

After the upgrade of the Sun Spear, Gao Xian feels a tremor in his spiritual consciousness, as if breaking through some invisible bottleneck, and his spiritual power suddenly surges.

In the blink of an eye, the powerful spiritual power stabilizes.

Gao Xian roughly estimates that the upgrade of the Sun Spear has increased his spiritual consciousness by about half.

His spiritual consciousness was already stronger than Zhu Changsheng's, and although the increase seems small, it is a huge progress for him.

The upgrade of the Sun Spear also increases his lifespan by three years, reaching 198 years old.

Feeling the fluctuating power of his spiritual consciousness, Gao Xian gains even more confidence.

However, when he thinks about having to fight against a Foundation Building cultivator, he still can't control his nervousness, and even has the thought of turning around and fleeing immediately.

This thought is immediately suppressed by Gao Xian. It is common for people to be afraid of death, but as a man, abandoning Qi Niang and escaping alone would be both unfaithful and a betrayal of his love.

Even if they die together! So what!

Thinking of this, Gao Xian completely lets go. Even if this journey of life ends here, he has no regrets for himself or for Qi Niang. The delicate face of Yu Ling flashes in his mind, but he can't think about her at this moment.

He no longer hesitates and floats over the wall, landing directly in the middle of the courtyard.

Zhu Qi Niang and Zhu Changsheng are talking under the eaves of the main house. Zhu Changsheng stands on the platform, while Zhu Qi Niang stands below the steps.

Zhu Qi Niang, standing at the bottom, has a serious expression and a cold gaze. She holds the hilt of her sword with one hand. Although her posture appears respectful, her emotions are tightly wound, ready to draw her sword and fight at any moment.

The old man Zhu Changsheng stands proudly with his hands behind his back, not taking Zhu Qi Niang, who is so close, seriously at all.

As a Foundation Building cultivator at the second level, he has cultivated for 160 years. Although he is not good at fighting, his mana is powerful and pure.

Not to mention anything else, just the protective Qi that can be instantly activated is not something that Qi Refining cultivators can penetrate.

Although Zhu Changsheng intends to kill Zhu Qi Niang, he relies on his identity as a Foundation Building cultivator and would never immediately resort to killing.

He wants to ask clearly and let Zhu Qi Niang die with a clear understanding.

What he didn't expect was that Gao Xian actually ran over?!

How did this little alchemist escape from Qinghe's supervision?!

Zhu Changsheng couldn't quite understand it. On the other hand, since Gao Xian had already escaped, why would he dare to come to Changsheng Hall?!

Could it be that this couple is truly in love? Are they determined to live and die together?!

Having lived for nearly two hundred years, Zhu Changsheng no longer believed in love, or even in family affection.

So-called love is nothing more than the impulse of young men and women in their prime.

So-called family affection is nothing more than the weak humans' obsession with bloodline inheritance.

When he had lived for hundreds of years, these emotions had become accessories to his life, rather than a part of his life.

Therefore, Zhu Changsheng found Gao Xian's actions quite laughable.

He didn't really care either way. No matter what happened to Zhu Qinghe, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

Zhu Changsheng looked at Gao Xian with great interest. Although the other party's actions were foolish, they were quite amusing to him.

Zhu Qiniang couldn't be as relaxed as him. She looked at Gao Xian with a mix of astonishment and confusion, as if asking why he had come running over.

Gao Xian had lived with Zhu Qiniang for several years and knew her well. He immediately explained, "I'm not here to find you, I'm here to find Senior Zhu."

This statement made Zhu Qiniang even more uneasy. She stared straight at Gao Xian, her expression unusually serious, even a bit cold.

"We'll talk later."

Gao Xian waved his hand at Qiniang, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with her. He then turned to Zhu Changsheng with a smile and said, "Senior Zhu, we meet again."

Zhu Changsheng nodded, "Yes, it seems I underestimated you."

He looked Gao Xian up and down, trying to find some traces of battle.

Human blood is actually very pungent, even a drop of blood can release a strong smell.

As a Foundation Building cultivator, even if he hadn't practiced any related secret techniques, with his keen senses, he could always detect traces of bloodshed in a battle.

To Zhu Changsheng's surprise, he didn't find any abnormal traces on Gao Xian.

However, the surface of Gao Xian's robe was covered with a layer of transparent light clothing, which had delicate and stable changes in its spiritual power. Zhu Changsheng couldn't see through what kind of spell it was.

This also sparked Zhu Changsheng's interest. This little Qi Refining cultivator actually had some skills.

Zhu Changsheng casually asked, "The water-like light on your body is both ethereal and flexible, what kind of spell is this?"

"Sorry, this spell is a secret technique, it's not convenient to say more."

Gao Xian also looked at Zhu Changsheng. The old man's imposing manner was practically tempting him.

As he spoke, he naturally took a few steps forward.

Zhu Changsheng, a dignified Foundation Building cultivator, had such keen perception that he could sense even the slightest muscle stretch on Gao Xian's body, let alone Gao Xian taking such a direct step forward.

He said with a hint of amusement, "Why, did you come closer to attack me?"

At this moment, Gao Xian was only seven steps away from him.

Gao Xian smiled slightly and politely corrected Zhu Changsheng, "Senior Zhu misunderstood. I have always been generous and honest, not that kind of person."

"Oh?" Zhu Changsheng said indifferently, "Regardless, you have the courage to approach me proactively."

His gaze shifted to Zhu Qiniang, "You don't have a secret relationship with this woman, do you?"

Zhu Qiniang's face changed slightly, but she didn't say anything, just tightened her grip on the sword hilt.

Gao Xian said calmly, "The union of yin and yang, the love between man and woman, is the ultimate way of heaven and earth. Qiniang and I have feelings for each other, what's so strange about that?"

"Indeed, young men and women are inevitably passionate and in love."

Zhu Changsheng said nonchalantly, "So, you came here to live and die together with this woman, to be like mandarin ducks in the same fate?"

Gao Xian shook his head slightly, and said seriously, "I came here with only one purpose, to kill you."

"By you? Haha..." Zhu Changsheng's old face showed a mocking smile.

"By the sword in my hand."

Gao Xian's tone became impassioned and bold, naturally exuding a sense of determination to move forward.

Before his words fell, he had already drawn his sword and thrust it towards Zhu Changsheng's chest, the green and blue sword blade shining, piercing towards him.

The distance between the two sides was only seven steps. Gao Xian activated the Electric Dragon Hand technique to the extreme, and his Grandmaster-level Qingfeng Swordsmanship allowed him to condense all kinds of power, including his body, consciousness, and mana, onto the blade.

In the depths of Gao Xian's brow, Lanjie, wearing a red long dress, also appeared, helping him operate his consciousness.

As a puppet god manifested by the Great Puppet God technique, Lanjie herself possessed exceptionally powerful consciousness.

With Lanjie's assistance, Gao Xian's consciousness power even surpassed Zhu Changsheng in front of him.

On the other hand, the Flower Reflecting Spirit Mirror on Gao Xian's left eye entered the Candle Illuminating the Netherworld mode.

Using his consciousness to sense the various changes in the opponent inevitably weakened his consciousness power.

Directly observing Zhu Changsheng's mana changes through the Flower Reflecting Spirit Mirror was more intuitive and effortless.

The saved consciousness power, ninety percent of it, was invested in the Qinglian Sword.

This move, swift as the wind and lightning, condensed almost all of Gao Xian's power.

Zhu Qiniang, who was on the side, already knew what Gao Xian intended, and she didn't intend to stop him.

At this point, forbearance was meaningless. Although she felt that fighting was just a way to die, at least she could die together with Gao Xian. Just this alone was enough.

Zhu Qiniang originally intended to take action with Gao Xian, but Gao Xian drew his sword too quickly.

In her eyes, all she could see was the Qinglian Sword, like a blue electric light, flashing and stabbing in front of Zhu Changsheng.

Even Gao Xian's rushing figure was just a blurry shadow, and she couldn't see his specific movements at all.

Zhu Qiniang was also surprised. Gao Xian's speed was so fast that she couldn't even react in time. It was unbelievable that he had such a fast sword at the Qi Refining seventh level.

Zhu Changsheng was also amazed by Gao Xian's fast sword. This extreme speed was no less than his own.

Gao Xian's mastery of the sword was even superior to his.

If Gao Xian had the cultivation of Foundation Building, this sword would pose a great threat to him.

Unfortunately, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, even with an unimaginable fast sword, was not qualified to fight against a Foundation Building cultivator.

As Zhu Changsheng's thoughts turned, the true spirit in his brow immediately started to operate.

The pure mana he had cultivated for over a hundred years operated calmly and orderly under the control of his true spirit.

The innate Divine Ability, Qingmu Xuangang, generated during the Foundation Building stage, was activated. The green spiritual light burst out like a flame, generating layers of thick flame light on the surface of his body.

With just this Qingmu Xuangang, he was able to withstand attacks from all Qi Refining cultivators.

As for second-grade magical tools and talismans, there were obvious fluctuations in mana when they were activated. It was impossible to release them instantly.

Zhu Changsheng coldly looked at the approaching Qinglian Sword. It was simply a dream to think that a single sword could break through his protective Qingmu Xuangang.

The green flame light seemed illusory like fire, but in reality, it was like a tough and heavy iron wall. The Qinglian Sword, which was about to pierce through, only penetrated an inch into the green flame light before its blade was completely suppressed by the powerful and heavy spiritual energy.

After being blocked, the Qinglian Sword suddenly twisted, and the phantom-like Gao Xian also revealed his figure.

Zhu Qiniang, who was ten steps away and was about to draw her sword, didn't have a chance to do so before Zhu Changsheng activated his Qingmu Xuangang.

The overwhelmingly powerful Qingmu Xuangang, although not released externally, emitted mana fluctuations and a formidable spiritual consciousness, sweeping across Zhu Qiniang like a storm.

Zhu Qiniang's eyes were completely occupied by the blazing green flame light. Her spiritual consciousness and mana seemed to be ignited by that green flame light.

She was also shocked in her heart. Even if she had overestimated the Foundation Building cultivator, she couldn't have imagined that the actual battle would be like this.

Zhu Changsheng didn't even lay a hand on her, but just by unleashing his spiritual consciousness, he completely overwhelmed her, restricting her body, mana, and spiritual consciousness.

At this moment, she finally understood how big the gap was between a Qi Refining cultivator and a Foundation Building cultivator!

She felt desolate in her heart. This time, she and Gao Xian were doomed!

But Gao Xian didn't think so. Failing with one sword was completely within his expectations. How could a Foundation Building cultivator be easily killed?

This sword was mainly to test the depth of Zhu Changsheng's strength. The powerful impact of Zhu Changsheng's unleashed spiritual consciousness posed no threat to him.

In the depths of Gao Xian's brow, Lan Jie and the Qinglian Sword resonated, and with a thought, he activated the Qinglian Feihong Sword.

The Qinglian Sword solidified in the blue flame, transforming into a rainbow light that suddenly pierced through the blue flame and directly stabbed towards Zhu Changsheng.

At the same time, a melodious sword chant resonated in the sky, ethereal and profound, seemingly present yet elusive, swaying and circulating before reverberating deep within the hearts of people.

Zhu Changsheng couldn't help but be moved by the sword chant. A look of astonishment appeared in his old eyes. What kind of sword was this? How could it possess such a profound power?!

Despite the sudden change, Zhu Changsheng remained calm and composed. Without hesitation, he immediately unleashed the Qingmu Xuangang towards Gao Xian.

Waves of blue flames surged out violently, their momentum as fierce as a river pouring down, completely engulfing Gao Xian in an instant.

The blue flames were a domineering Qi formed by the integration of wood and fire elemental powers. Under Zhu Changsheng's full force, the flames transformed by the Qingmu Xuangang rushed forward for seven to eight zhang before gradually dissipating.

The shadow wall, courtyard walls, and main gate in the backyard all shattered in the blue flames, with debris and dust filling the air.

Zhu Qiniang, who was standing nearby, was swept away by the surging Qi, flying backwards and crashing into the eastern wall, leaving behind a huge indentation.

Even with her formidable Body Refining technique, she felt dizzy and in intense pain, making it difficult for her to even stand up for a moment.

Zhu Changsheng, who had erupted with all his strength, felt that something was amiss. Gao Xian hadn't been shattered, but rather seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

Before Zhu Changsheng could figure it out, the Qingmu Xuangang he had released naturally dissipated to its lowest point.

Gao Xian's figure flickered and reappeared out of thin air. Under his control, a blade-like blue rainbow light silently pierced through the Qingmu Xuangang, and the ethereal sword chant once again echoed in Zhu Changsheng's ears and heart.

This sword was as mysterious as a ghost and as swift as lightning. Even if Zhu Changsheng sensed that something was wrong, he didn't have time to retreat. He hurriedly unleashed the Qingmu Xuangang once again, while also activating the Jiamu Linghuan on his Changqing Robe.

The Qingmu Xuangang covered Zhu Changsheng's entire body like a layer of blue flames, and the Jiamu Linghuan transformed into layers of greenish-blue light rings, completely enveloping him.

Zhu Changsheng reacted extremely quickly, completing two spells in an instant. One was his innate Divine Ability, and the other was a high-level defensive spell. The combination of the two layers of protection was enough to withstand an attack from a cultivator of the same level in Foundation Building.

However, these defensive spells couldn't withstand the Qinglian Feihong Sword.

The blade-like blue rainbow light swallowed and flickered, piercing through the two layers of spiritual light from the spells, and entered Zhu Changsheng's brow.

This sword was exceptionally vicious, directly severing Zhu Changsheng's true spirit and extinguishing his vitality. After successfully striking, Gao Xian immediately withdrew his sword. His figure, like a phantom, once again appeared, and his shadowless robe rippled like water, accentuating his even more elegant and agile demeanor.

Zhu Changsheng had cultivated for over a hundred years, possessing pure cultivation and a powerful divine sense. His main cultivation method, the Qingmu Lihuo Jue, was known for its strong vitality. Despite suffering such a heavy blow, he was still able to maintain a breath of life.

He stared fixedly at Gao Xian in front of him, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion. He, a cultivator in Foundation Building, had actually been killed by a Qi Refining cultivator. How was this possible?!

Gao Xian, who was ten steps away, lightly brushed his hand against the Qinglian Sword, causing it to emit a faint sword hum.

With a hint of disappointment, he said to Zhu Changsheng, "I wonder if it's because my sword is too sharp or because you're too weak! I didn't even use much force, and you're already dead. Are you really a cultivator in Foundation Building?"

Faced with Gao Xian's disdainful and contemptuous attitude, the last trace of rationality in Zhu Changsheng was instantly overwhelmed by anger. He disregarded everything and ignited his divine sense, unleashing the Qingmu Xuangang to directly attack Gao Xian.

The fierce blue flames erupted once again, instantly sweeping away everything...
