Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 43: Borrowing a Knife

A sliver of a waning moon hung diagonally in the middle of the courtyard, casting a pale light on Zhu Hong'an and Yang An, who lay there.

Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang stood in the shadow under the eaves, both wrapped in a layer of gloom, creating a strange contrast with the two figures illuminated by the moonlight.

Gao Xian, suddenly showing a pleased expression, broke the gloomy atmosphere around him.

Of course, he was happy because he sensed the presence of Lao Wang.

If the evil spirit didn't come tonight, things would become difficult.

Gao Xian pulled Zhu Qiniang towards the wing room. Zhu Qiniang looked at Zhu Hong'an lying in the courtyard, her face showing a hint of hesitation.

She didn't sense the presence of the evil spirit, but she noticed that Zhu Hong'an was about to wake up.

Gao Xian knew that Zhu Qiniang didn't have much confidence in him and didn't quite believe that the evil spirit had arrived. So he exerted more force.

Naturally, he was stronger than Zhu Qiniang, and he used this method to express his confidence.

In the end, Zhu Qiniang complied with Gao Xian and they both retreated into the dim wing room.

Suddenly, Zhu Hong'an's limbs twitched slightly as he lay on the ground, and then he opened his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Qiniang instinctively tightened her muscles and almost crushed Gao Xian's hand.

Gao Xian endured the pain and held onto Zhu Qiniang tightly. The drug that dispelled the trance was very strong, so even though Zhu Hong'an regained consciousness, his body was inevitably weak and powerless.

Lao Wang was about to arrive, and Zhu Hong'an definitely couldn't escape.

Zhu Qiniang also sensed Gao Xian's determination. She couldn't help but glance at him, and Gao Xian smiled at her, indicating that she didn't need to be so nervous.

In the dim room, Gao Xian's neatly aligned white teeth and his sparkling eyes were very eye-catching, as if his smile was radiating light and illuminating the dark room.

This smile was infectious, causing Zhu Qiniang to gradually relax.

"Uh..."

Zhu Hong'an groaned in pain as he covered his head. He couldn't remember why he was lying here and why his head hurt so much.

Zhu Hong'an's gaze shifted and he saw Yang An lying beside him, his chubby face showing some confusion.

"Yang An is here too. We were drinking together, so why are we lying on the ground? Where's Qiniang?"

Zhu Qiniang, hiding in the room, saw everything clearly. Zhu Hong'an's gaze gradually became brighter, indicating that he had regained his clarity.

Zhu Hong'an seemed to sense Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian's gaze. He looked up and saw two figures in the wing room.

The room was very dim, and he couldn't see their faces clearly, but he easily recognized Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian from their postures.

Zhu Hong'an's gaze naturally fell on the hands they were holding, and he couldn't help but become furious. This pair of adulterers and adulteresses were actually having an affair in front of him!

"No, it's this pair of adulterers and adulteresses who conspired against him together."

Zhu Hong'an suddenly remembered. He had just been dealing with Gao Xian when he was ambushed and fell unconscious.

But why were this pair of adulterers and adulteresses just standing there? What tricks did they want to play?

The more Zhu Hong'an thought about it, the angrier and more afraid he became. When he struggled to get up, he saw a half-headed, pitch-black figure in front of him.

The appearance of the half-headed figure was horrifying, with only half an eyeball shining with green light, making it even more eerie and terrifying.

"Evil spirit!" Zhu Hong'an immediately recognized the thing in front of him. He instinctively reached for the Three Yang Talisman.

He knew how terrifying the evil spirit was, so he always carried more than ten Three Yang Talismans in his pocket.

Zhu Hong'an realized something was wrong as soon as he moved his hand. He wasn't wearing his Daoist robe, so where could he get the talisman from?!

Moreover, his close-fitting Qingmu Armor had been taken away, and even the Thunder Light Ring was gone.

Without the talisman and the tools, Zhu Hong'an panicked and quickly formed hand seals, trying to perform the Shaoyang Exorcism Technique.

This technique was specifically used to eliminate the impurities of evil spirits and was a very powerful spell.

However, his hands and feet were weak, and even his tongue felt numb. He couldn't form the seals, nor could he chant the incantation.

Zhu Qiniang in the room had a cold smile on her face. Although Zhu Hong'an was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he rarely fought with others and had very little combat experience.

Encountering an evil spirit suddenly made his various responses seem ridiculous.

Old Wang, with half a head, didn't give Zhu Hong'an a chance. His pitch-black hand forcefully stabbed into Zhu Hong'an's chest.

Zhu Hong'an, who was in the midst of casting a spell, let out a miserable scream. He didn't have time to continue using his magic and instead slapped Old Wang with both palms.

The intense pain stimulated Zhu Hong'an, causing him to unleash a powerful force. As a Qi Refining eighth-layer cultivator, his organs, muscles, and bones were all incredibly strong, and his magical power was also formidable.

With this desperate strike, the palm strength generated solely from his magical power weighed several thousand kilograms.

Old Wang was slapped, causing black ashes to burst from his body. He opened his mouth and let out a silent scream, then exerted force with his hand once again.

His fingertips were sharp as knives, carrying a terrifying corrosive power.

Under the fierce attack, Old Wang's palm pierced through Zhu Hong'an's sternum and grabbed hold of his heart.

Although Zhu Hong'an was a Qi Refining eighth-layer cultivator, he couldn't withstand such an injury. His body went limp, devoid of any strength.

Under the influence of the evil aura, the plump and fair Zhu Hong'an quickly lost all his essence and blood. His body shriveled and turned black, soon becoming a charcoal-like corpse.

Absorbing Zhu Hong'an's essence and blood, the green light in the eyes of the evil aura became noticeably stronger.

Under normal circumstances, a Qi Refining eighth-layer cultivator wielding talismans and magical tools would not be easily killed by Old Wang.

Zhu Hong'an was first affected by a confusion-inducing powder, and his magical tools, talismans, and robe were all taken away. His mind was also not very clear, leading to his current fate.

Seeing Zhu Hong'an turn into a charcoal-like corpse, Zhu Qiniang's emerald eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction and relief.

Gao Xian also breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, his plan could be considered a success, not in vain for all the trouble he went through.

After killing Zhu Hong'an, Old Wang grabbed Yang An, who was lying nearby.

Yang An, in his unconscious state, turned into a corpse peacefully.

Having absorbed the essence and blood of two cultivators in succession, Old Wang seemed to have consumed a great tonic. His thin and dark body appeared to have grown two inches taller.

Old Wang wasn't satisfied; his emerald eyes turned towards Gao Xian in the room.

Even though the room was dimly lit, Old Wang easily sensed Gao Xian's position through his aura.

Just as Zhu Qiniang was about to take action, she heard Gao Xian say, "I'll handle this!"

She was a bit surprised. Although this evil aura was ugly, its strength couldn't be underestimated. Didn't she see Zhu Hong'an being killed in one grab?

Could Gao Xian really handle it?

A golden light emerged deep within Gao Xian's eyes as the Master-level True Yang Spear, guided by his thoughts, instantly burst forth.

The invisible spear, condensed from magical power, divine consciousness, and yang energy, fiercely stabbed into Old Wang's chest. Under the stimulation of the evil aura, the True Yang Spear emitted a dazzling golden light.

The True Yang Spear specialized in countering evil energy. Although Old Wang's body was impervious to knives and spears, he couldn't withstand a stab from the True Yang Spear.

His pitch-black chest was immediately pierced by a large hole that went through from front to back, causing a large amount of black ashes to burst out.

Old Wang suffered a heavy blow, his mouth opened wide in a silent scream, and his body convulsed uncontrollably.

At this moment, Gao Xian launched the second strike of the True Yang Spear.

Under the collision of the evil aura, the invisible True Yang Spear once again shone with golden light. This golden light shattered half of Old Wang's head into pieces.

Following that, the third strike of the True Yang Spear landed, piercing Old Wang's abdomen.

The intense aura of the True Yang Spear, like fire, continuously shattered Old Wang's body with three consecutive strikes. His broken body turned into a swirling cloud of black ashes under the burning of the True Yang magical power.

With Old Wang's demise, the strand of evil aura entwined around Gao Xian completely dissipated.

Zhu Qiniang knew that the True Yang Spear was formidable, but she didn't expect Gao Xian's mastery of it to be so advanced, actually being able to unleash three consecutive strikes.

The key was that Gao Xian didn't need to form hand seals or chant incantations. He could instantly unleash three rapid and fierce strikes. The evil aura couldn't react at all and was instantly annihilated.

Looking at Gao Xian again, she had a few more traces of admiration for him.

Zhu Qiniang originally thought that Gao Xian was a bit softhearted and incapable of doing great things.

After this incident, she discovered that Gao Xian had a deep level of scheming. He could endure without acting rashly in ordinary times, but at critical moments, he could decisively take action.

Moreover, Gao Xian, at such a young age, had become a Grand Alchemist and possessed extraordinary talent in magic.

Zhu Qiniang had a hunch: "This handsome man will surely achieve great things in the future!"
