Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 269: Sword Sweeping Evil

"Don't be in a hurry to take action, let's find out more about this person first." Jiang Qingfeng used his divine sense to transmit his voice to Jiang Qingshan in the wine shop.

Hidden next door, Jiang Qingfeng could clearly see the situation inside the wine shop through the pre-arranged Yun Guang Mirror.

The Yun Guang Mirror could also detect fluctuations in spiritual power, allowing him to see the individual's cultivation level and the Law Weapon they carried.

Having lived for over a hundred years, Jiang Qingfeng had spent most of his time in battles and killings, which had tempered his heart like iron and stone.

Practicing the Five Poison True Technique and dealing with five kinds of highly toxic substances every day had eroded his body and mind, making him easily irritable and bloodthirsty.

Jiang Qingfeng also knew that this was not a good situation, so he usually tried his best to restrain his emotions.

At this moment, he was calm and didn't want to act rashly.

Under the illumination of the Yun Guang Mirror, he could see that the middle-aged man in the gray robe faintly had two flashes of life essence light, and the sword at his waist was also a Rank Two weapon. Other than that, there was nothing particularly special about him.

However, he always felt that the other party was calm and seemed to have something to rely on. Without understanding the situation, Jiang Qingfeng was unwilling to take action.

Jiang Qingshan in the wine shop frowned slightly after hearing the transmission. He and Jiang Qingfeng were not brothers, they could only barely be considered from the same clan.

Both of them had been transferred back to the Southern District from outside, and they had been here for two years. They were both like fish in water here.

The Southern District was chaotic and dangerous, as long as they didn't cause too much trouble, no one would care how many people they killed.

They had someone above protecting them, so even if something really happened, they would be able to handle it.

A few days ago, they decisively ambushed Wei Cheng and his group, and took the Diamond Relic and the Nine-Leaf Spirit Mushroom.

The two spiritual treasures combined were worth at least five to six hundred thousand spirit stones, which was a large sum of money.

As their business continued to expand, Wei Cheng and the members of the Money Gang became more and more of a nuisance, so they took the opportunity to get rid of them.

Unexpectedly, Wei Cheng was really strong. Even after being hit by Jiang Qingshan's Five Poison Sword, he didn't die. Instead, he went berserk and opened up a passage, forcibly taking away Wei Shuangshuang, the beautiful woman.

As for Tong Yan, he was exceptionally cunning and disappeared as soon as he made a move. They had to focus on killing Wei Cheng and couldn't spare any effort to chase after Tong Yan.

After a big battle, they only managed to kill Yuan Lin, which was far lower than expected.

Fortunately, the higher-ups were indeed strong, and they easily suppressed the situation, and nothing happened.

After this battle, Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Qingfeng swept through the Southern District with the Five Poison Gang, and the remaining dozen or so small gangs were no longer worth mentioning.

At this time, someone came to buy the Nine-Leaf Spirit Mushroom, and no one would believe that there was nothing wrong.

However, their purpose in occupying the Southern District was to do business.

Various illicit items from the 36 sects of Qingyun Dao would mostly enter the Southern District through various channels and then be sold outside through the Southern District.

This cooperative method had been going on for over a thousand years and was very stable.

As long as they occupied the Southern District, they would be able to control three to four tenths of the gray market of Qingyun Dao, and the profits involved were enormous.

Therefore, Azure Cloud Sect allowed the existence of the Southern District.

In this line of business, one couldn't be afraid of risks. If someone came to buy goods and didn't dare to show themselves, that would be a joke.

Assess the other party's weight and then decide how to do business.

Jiang Qingshan felt that he was just at the mid-stage of Foundation Building, and there was nothing to consider. He could just kill him directly.

If the other party dared to come and do business with them, they should be prepared for this.

Jiang Qingshan was impatient and couldn't confront Jiang Qingfeng directly. He could only suppress his killing intent and sternly said to Gao Xian, "Do you have spirit stones or not? If you don't, get lost."

The cultivators around them all stood up, drawing their swords and facing Gao Xian with a murderous aura.

Gao Xian calmly walked to the table and placed ten high-grade red spirit stones on it. "The spirit stones are here, where is the Nine-Leaf Spirit Mushroom?"

A group of low-level cultivators, most of whom have never seen high-grade spirit stones before. Seeing ten red spirit stones placed on the table, the group of people held their breath and stared intently, their eyes filled with greed.

Jiang Qingshan was also a little surprised that the other party actually brought so many spirit stones.

Instead, he became wary and couldn't help but reach out and collect all ten high-grade spirit stones.

The high-grade spirit stones in his hand were pure and stable in spiritual energy, with a crystal-clear and smooth touch, like the finest jade.

"There's no mistake with the high-grade spirit stones."

Jiang Qingshan didn't hesitate to put the ten high-grade spirit stones into his sleeve pocket. He saw that Gao Xian remained calm, which was a bit strange and made him curious about the other's composure.

Gao Xian, of course, was not in a hurry. He asked again, "You've taken the spirit stones, but what about the Nine Leaf Lingzhi?"

Jiang Qingshan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said in a low voice, "Here you go!"

As he spoke, he drew out the Xuan Mountain Sword and slashed directly at Gao Xian. This Rank Two top-grade sword was also infused with the power of the Five Poisons. The originally snowy blade had been smeared black, emitting a hint of a fishy smell when mana was activated.

Compared to Jiang Qingfeng, Jiang Qingshan had a more violent and ruthless personality, and he enjoyed killing people. He didn't bother with calculations and simply did the business of killing. Why bother thinking so much?

There was only one person on the other side, so he just needed to kill him. If something went wrong, he could simply run away.

Calculating this and that every day, what's the point of being a villain? Just go home and dig a hole to hide.

Jiang Qingshan was at the late stage of Foundation Building cultivation. At this moment, three strands of his life essence spiritual light were flashing, gathering all the Qi of the Thousand Mountains onto the Xuan Mountain Sword.

With a sword strike like a thousand mountains pressing down, the sword momentum was fierce and sharp. Several cultivators from the Five Poison Sect who were nearby hadn't even reacted yet and were already blasted away by the fierce Qi of the Thousand Mountains.

Under normal circumstances, with so many companions around, they wouldn't easily make a move.

Jiang Qingshan didn't care about the life and death of a few subordinates. As long as he could kill the other party with one sword strike, it didn't matter how many subordinates died.

Jiang Qingfeng next door saw Jiang Qingshan suddenly make a move and gritted his teeth in anger. But since he had already made a move, there was no point in saying anything else.

Jiang Qingfeng gripped the handle of the Five Poison Sword and silently activated his mana, preparing to make a move.

Two Foundation Building mid-stage cultivators hiding behind the kitchen also drew their swords and activated their mana.

These few people had rich combat experience and would not hesitate once they made a move.

The Five Poison Sect's Foundation Building cultivators had Law Weapons that shielded their mana fluctuations. But when they simultaneously activated their mana, the Law Weapons became useless.

In Gao Xian's sea of consciousness, the four Foundation Building cultivators transformed into clear projections, and he could observe the flow of mana on their bodies.

This was the power of a strong divine sense, able to easily perceive the opponent's movements. The actions of the several Foundation Building cultivators were as transparent as glass.

With Gao Xian's powerful divine sense at the center, it extended up to 1,800 steps away. Within this range, all fluctuations in mana would be sensed by his divine sense and manifested in his sea of consciousness.

It was like having a 3D holographic map. As long as he wanted to, he could perceive everything within the range of his divine sense.

His divine sense was now two points stronger than Li Ye and Lu Jingxu, not to mention a few small Foundation Building cultivators.

With his powerful divine sense and the Thunderbolt Lightning Law, Gao Xian was able to operate at high speed while remaining focused.

In this state, the actions of the several Foundation Building cultivators appeared unusually slow.

Lan Jie appeared in the depths of Gao Xian's brow, and with her in charge of the divine sense, he could easily control all his powers.

First, he activated the Taiji Divine Appearance, causing the invisible Taiji Profound Light Heavenly Robe to manifest.

He felt that he could perceive the entire field and grasp the overall situation, but he couldn't be careless.

A Martial Saint loses everything with a single careless move, even his head. Even if he had the Doppelganger Technique, there was no need to show off.

As the spiritual light flashed, Gao Xian suddenly had a black and white exquisite robe on him.

At the same time, Gao Xian drew the Cold Light Sword from his waist. This Rank Two sword had always been his backup weapon. Although its rank was not high, it was more than enough to kill a few Foundation Building cultivators.

The three-foot-long white blade of the Cold Light Sword, which was bright and clear, was already resting on the Xuan Mountain Sword that was fiercely slashing towards him.

The two swords met without making any sound. The gentle Sword Intent on the Cold Light Sword swallowed up all the fierce mana of the Xuan Mountain Sword.

This technique is called "Light as a Breeze" and is one of the guarding techniques in the Clear Wind Sword Manual. It uses the subtlety of a light breeze and the softness of clouds to completely neutralize the opponent's attacking power.

Gao Xian's Wind and Cloud Sword Manual has reached the level of a grandmaster, surpassing Jiang Qingshan by far.

If we measure their swordsmanship based on the level of the Wind and Cloud Sword Manual, Jiang Qingshan hasn't even reached the beginner stage.

With a light touch of the Cold Light Sword in Gao Xian's hand, the Xuan Mountain Sword and the Thousand Mountain Qi were effortlessly dissolved.

Jiang Qingshan felt as if this sword struck empty space. His fierce and powerful sword energy completely disappeared. This feeling of emptiness and effortlessness made him extremely uncomfortable.

He immediately realized that the other party was a strong swordsman, far superior to him. This made him feel extremely uneasy, so he quickly activated the Iron Mountain Shield on his robe.

The dark black and heavy Iron Mountain Shield enveloped Jiang Qingshan's whole body, giving him a sense of security.

In the next moment, Jiang Qingshan saw the opponent's sword blade gently rotating, bringing his Xuan Mountain Sword with it as it counterattacked.

Jiang Qingshan was greatly shocked. No matter how he manipulated his mana, he couldn't control the Xuan Mountain Sword, or even control the arm holding the sword.

The heavy Xuan Mountain Sword struck the Iron Mountain Shield, causing the Thousand Mountain Qi on the Xuan Mountain Sword to erupt, making the Xuan Mountain Sword exceptionally fierce and sharp.

With such a fierce strike, a crack appeared in the Iron Mountain Shield.

Following the cold light of the Xuan Mountain Sword, it cut through the crack and lightly brushed past like a snow sword, its blade penetrating the Thousand Mountain Qi and severing Jiang Qingshan's neck.

Jiang Qingshan's head flew up in astonishment, blood gushing like a fountain from his severed neck.

This sword by Gao Xian was a variation of the "Gentle Breeze Brushing Willow" called "Gentle Breeze Brushing Clouds." The difference of one word allowed this sword technique to reach a higher level in terms of Sword Intent.

"Gentle Breeze Brushing Willow" emphasizes elegance and the desire to fly, with the gentle breeze being intangible and ethereal.

"Gentle Breeze Brushing Clouds" is different. There are variations in the density of clouds, and the gentle breeze brushes against the clouds, entering through the spacious areas and then affecting the whole body.

Gao Xian first absorbed Jiang Qingshan's sword energy with the Light as a Breeze technique, and only counterattacked when the opponent's sword energy was exhausted, returning all of Jiang Qingshan's sword energy back to him.

Jiang Qingshan couldn't even withstand his own full-strength strike, and a gap appeared in his mana shield. Gao Xian then used the Gentle Breeze Brushing Clouds technique, naturally cutting through the gap in the flow of the opponent's mana, beheading him with one sword strike.

Jiang Qingshan couldn't understand the subtle changes in all of this.

Gao Xian was just using his swordsmanship, and it didn't matter whether he understood it or not.

Of course, it would be nice if the other party could say something.

Actually, Gao Xian could easily kill the opponent. At this moment, he effortlessly killed the enemy with his sword technique, without needing to exert much effort. It truly felt like he was in complete control.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with his own swordsmanship. By relying solely on speed and strength, he couldn't help but fall into mediocrity, and his appearance wasn't pleasing enough.

Now, he casually killed the enemy, which truly showcased the demeanor of a sword master.

The other three Foundation Building cultivators from the Five Poison Sect were prepared to help, and their divine senses were tightly locked onto Gao Xian.

As a result, when Gao Xian and Jiang Qingshan faced each other, Jiang Qingshan's head flew off.

The key point was that Gao Xian didn't use much force at all. The battle between the two Foundation Building cultivators was completely silent.

Jiang Qingfeng and the other two Foundation Building cultivators immediately realized that something was wrong. This person's sharp sword light not only killed Jiang Qingshan, but also seemed to deeply pierce their souls, leaving them horrified and without any fighting spirit.

Although they were all very ruthless, they were able to survive for so long by being cunning.

Realizing that the situation was not good, the three Foundation Building cultivators didn't hesitate and turned to run.

They had arranged several escape routes in the Xinglong Inn precisely for this reason. If the situation was unfavorable, they could turn around and flee.

The surrounding environment was complex and chaotic. Even if a Golden Core cultivator came, it would be difficult to catch them.

Jiang Qingfeng reacted the fastest. He pressed against his chest and activated the Mountain-Piercing Shield, his figure becoming ethereal as he directly disappeared into the ground.

Three feet below the ground, there was an underground passage. This was the sewer system in the southern district, and the tunnels inside were very complex.

When constructing the tunnels, they were reinforced with spell runes to ensure their long-term preservation. This environment greatly inhibited the sensing ability of divine senses, making it almost impossible for anyone to catch up once they entered the tunnel.

Ignoring the fleeing Jiang Qingfeng, this person is definitely the leader of the Wudu Gang, so let him go first.

For now, let's deal with the two Foundation Building cultivators first.

Gao Xian raised his Cold Light Sword and his figure blurred. In the next moment, he appeared in front of the two Foundation Building cultivators.

The two Foundation Building cultivators were shocked and immediately unleashed their sword qi attacks.

The Cold Light Sword in Gao Xian's hand suddenly emitted a brilliant cold light, followed by a sudden convergence of the sword light.

In the transformation between brightness and darkness, the Cold Light Sword silently pierced through the foreheads of the two Foundation Building cultivators.

The Spring Breeze and Rain Sword, which used to be Gao Xian's most proud move, was now used with even greater subtlety, easily killing the two Foundation Building cultivators.

The cultivators of the Wudu Gang in the shops ahead finally realized that something was wrong and scattered in panic.

The flowing light on Gao Xian's Cold Light Sword flickered, and the invisible Sword Intent of the Spring Breeze and Rain Sword spread in all directions.

Dozens of panicked Wudu Gang members felt a slight chill in their foreheads, and then they fell to the ground without any breath.

These people had strong malicious intent just now, and Gao Xian was a meticulous person who remembered them very clearly. He wouldn't let a single one of them go.

After killing this group of people, Gao Xian calmly sheathed his sword. Then, he took the storage bags from the two Foundation Building cultivators and collected the storage Law Weapons on their bodies, putting them into storage talismans.

Jiang Qingshan did the same, collecting dozens of gang members into storage talismans.

Leaving a pile of corpses was unsanitary. Besides, these guys must have some Law Weapons and spirit stones. It would be a waste not to take them.

While Gao Xian was calmly cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Qingfeng, who had fled in panic, had already returned to a hidden hiding place.

Jiang Qingfeng didn't dare to return to the Wudu Gang's lair. There were still two Foundation Building cultivators and several hundred gang members there, but these people were useless and couldn't withstand that guy's sword.

He didn't know who that person was, but he knew how terrifying he was. If Jiang Qingshan couldn't take a sword, he would be the same!

Jiang Qingfeng regulated his breathing. He felt that someone from the sect must be interfering in the southern district, so they wanted to clean up the Wudu Gang.

The situation was not good, and he had to escape as soon as possible. Azure Cloud City was covered by a large formation. It was safe to stay inside the formation, but he didn't have the ability to break the formation and escape.

In this situation, he could only send a message for reinforcements.

Jiang Qingfeng took out a flying sword given to him by the other party and left a note in the gap of the sword hilt. Then, he quickly cast a spell to release the flying sword.

Watching the flying sword fly away, Jiang Qingfeng felt slightly relieved. As long as this person appeared, he would be able to save his life.

"A flying sword message?"

A clear voice came from the darkness. "Calling for reinforcements?"

As the voice spoke, Gao Xian had already appeared. He had returned to his original appearance, but he was still wearing the invisible Taiji Profound Light Heavenly Robe.

Jiang Qingfeng was shocked. How did the other party find him?!

He didn't dare to move and could only pretend to be calm and say, "Don't make trouble. I am a disciple of Shui Zhenren."

Gao Xian laughed. "Shui Yuying? She's an old friend of mine. You're actually her subordinate. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Jiang Qingfeng was delighted. This person turned out to be good friends with Shui Yuying?

But he immediately felt that something was wrong. Gao Xian's tone was neither friendly nor hostile. It didn't sound like a good thing.

Just as Jiang Qingfeng was about to speak, a flash of green light had already imprinted itself into his eyes. In his panic, Jiang Qingfeng quickly unleashed his Wudu Gang Qi and Wudu Sword.

In an instant, a poisonous black gas surged, and the green light split the smoke apart and deeply entered Jiang Qingfeng's forehead, severing all his vitality.

At the last moment, Jiang Qingfeng, who was losing consciousness, heard Gao Xian's words, "For the sake of being good friends, I'll leave you with a complete corpse. You're welcome..."

At the same time, a streak of light was flying towards this place in the sky.
