Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 53: Qingyun Robe

The approaching cultivator was running at a fast speed, with the female cultivator chasing after him even faster.

Gao Xian didn't want to get involved in this commotion. He quickly stepped back, gripping his sword with his right hand while his left hand pulled out a thick earth shield talisman from his sleeve.

He was waiting for the other person to get close to him before activating it. However, judging from the other person's speed, it seemed unlikely that they would be able to reach him.

With his mastery of the Electric Dragon Hand and True Yang Spear, Gao Xian's senses were exceptionally sharp. His spiritual consciousness was solid, making him slightly stronger in this aspect compared to Zhu Qiniang.

Although the movements of both sides were fast, Gao Xian could still see many details clearly.

The woman chasing from behind must have used the Wind Control Technique. Her movements were not exaggerated, but concealed and powerful. With a light tap of her feet, she could leap more than twenty feet.

The woman caught up to the male cultivator in just two steps.

The male cultivator also realized this and knew that he couldn't rely on Gao Xian to block the pursuer.

He chanted a spell and activated the earth shield talisman. Flames flickered on the talisman, transforming into a thick, earthy yellow shield.

The earth shield was the strongest defensive low-level spell. The shield formed by condensed mana was thick and solid, even thicker than a real shield.

However, the mana condensed in the earth shield was too heavy, making it difficult to control and consuming mana at an alarming rate.

A wooden shield talisman could last for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, while an earth shield talisman could only last one-third of that time.

After activating the earth shield, the male cultivator quickly turned around, raising the shield high to completely cover himself.

The earth shield was six feet tall and three feet wide, completely blocking his entire body.

Gao Xian saw a red light flashing between the man's right hand, indicating that he was about to unleash a Flame Bullet.

At this distance, using a Flame Bullet would cause damage to the user as well due to the explosion.

It was only because of the protection of the earth shield that the man dared to use such a powerful Flame Bullet.

Gao Xian cautiously retreated to create a safe distance. At the same time, he was curious about how the female cultivator would deal with the situation.

The female cultivator's swordsmanship was fierce, but even with excellent swordsmanship, it would be difficult to display it against the earth shield.

The limit of spells and magic far surpassed swordsmanship.

However, low-level cultivators were generally lacking in both skill and money, so the mainstream was still using swords and knives for combat.

To Gao Xian's surprise, the female cultivator didn't slow down or show any intention of using spells.

She raised her shining green sword and fiercely slashed at the heavy earth shield.

Gao Xian noticed a flicker of strange light in the woman's eyes, and she silently recited something. The green light on her sword became even brighter, indicating that she had activated some kind of rune.

The green sword light, accompanied by a sharp whistle, descended from the sky, silently splitting the earthy yellow shield into two.

The male cultivator who had activated the earth shield also split in half along with the shield, his internal organs and blood spilling onto the ground.

Despite such a serious injury, the cultivator was still alive, writhing in pain on the ground.

The female cultivator looked at him expressionlessly.

Gao Xian could clearly see the cruel satisfaction in her eyes, causing his scalp to tingle. This woman was truly ruthless!

In fact, this woman's appearance was not bad. Her eyebrows and eyes resembled Qingping's a bit. However, her whole body exuded a fierce and ruthless aura, without any of Qingping's charm.

The female cultivator sensed Gao Xian's gaze and coldly glanced at him.

If it were in the past, Gao Xian would definitely not dare to meet her gaze.

After more than twenty days of practical training, Gao Xian had gained confidence and was no longer afraid of fighting.

Although this female cultivator was in the late Qi Refining stage and had a powerful sword, she was still far from Zhu Qiniang's level.

Gao Xian was not saying that he could defeat her, but at least he was much faster than her.

If he couldn't win, he could always run.

With this confidence, Gao Xian calmly met the gaze of the female cultivator.

The female cultivator noticed Gao Xian's focused gaze and his lack of fear or retreat, which surprised her slightly.

At this moment, her killing intent was strong, and if Gao Xian showed any signs of retreat, she would definitely take the opportunity to kill him.

As for whether Gao Xian was associated with these people, it didn't matter. But judging from Gao Xian's appearance, he wasn't easy to deal with.

The female cultivator hesitated, and Gao Xian took a few steps back to show that he had no hostile intentions.

The female cultivator thought to herself that this was Feima City after all, with patrol teams patrolling everywhere. The young man in front of her seemed to have some skills, but she ultimately decided not to take action.

After the two subordinates collected the spiritual stones and other treasures from the corpses, the female cultivator hurriedly left with her people.

As soon as the female cultivator and her group left, other cultivators who had been watching the scene gathered around.

Ignoring the blood, they rummaged through the bodies.

The female cultivator only took the spiritual stones, magical tools, and talismans, leaving behind the clothes, shoes, and other personal belongings.

Other cultivators frantically looted the bodies, resembling a group of vultures fighting over carrion...

This scene made Gao Xian feel somewhat uncomfortable, but he had also looted bodies before. He had no right to look down on others.

Gao Xian bypassed the group of cultivators and couldn't help but sigh. The female cultivator was definitely a cultivator from the mountains, with a fierce aura that was clearly different from ordinary cultivators.

Qi Niang and Yu Ling were right. These guys would cause trouble as soon as they returned.

Killing people in broad daylight, and killing so many at that, was simply a provocation to the patrol teams.

In the past half year, Gao Xian had never heard of such a thing happening.

Gao Xian had already reached Chang Street before he saw ten members of the patrol team rushing towards the scene.

The patrol team members were all dressed in uniform black robes, making them easily recognizable.

Gao Xian had seen the patrol team a few times before. They mainly patrolled Chang Street. It was rare to see them outside of Chang Street.

The patrol team moved neither fast nor slow, apparently not very enthusiastic about chasing down the killer.

Gao Xian shook his head. These guys were unreliable. He had to rely on himself.

He made his way to Yunyi Cloth Shop and saw the slightly overweight middle-aged boss inside.

"You're here again..." the middle-aged boss asked indifferently. "What do you want to buy this time?"

Obviously, he had a deep impression of Gao Xian's crazy bargaining, but it wasn't a good impression.

Gao Xian, on the other hand, was quite happy. The fact that the other party was unhappy meant that he hadn't been taken advantage of last time. He said proudly, "Boss, give me a robe, a good one!"

The middle-aged boss's spirits lifted. Robes were a big business.

A smile immediately appeared on his face. "Robes, we have all kinds of grades here. What kind do you want?"

"Bring them all out for me to see," Gao Xian said confidently. He had money in his pocket and was full of confidence.

"Alright."

The boss opened the large iron safe below the counter and took out more than ten robes, placing them on the counter.

"The blue Lingbo Robe comes with Feather Flight Technique and Water Separation Technique. It can split water and move through it. Made of Ice Silkworm Silk, it can withstand water and fire, and it's a lower-grade first-tier robe. Price: 120 spiritual stones.

"The black Blackwater Robe comes with Water Shield Technique and Wind Control Technique, a middle-grade first-tier robe. Price: 260 spiritual stones.

"This green robe is called Qingyun Robe, a middle-grade first-tier robe. It comes with Qingyun Veil, Spring Breeze Technique, Wind Control Technique, and two special pockets in the sleeves. Price: 400 spiritual stones.

"The Qingyun Veil is an extremely special protective spell. When activated, a faint blue aura envelops the whole body, barely visible. Its defensive ability is even stronger than the Thick Earth Shield.

"It can also protect from all directions and has the wonderful ability to filter out poisonous gas. The Qingyun Veil can also make the body as agile as a bird..."

As Gao Xian listened to the boss's introduction, he was greatly amazed by the special spell of the Qingyun Veil.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the Qingyun Robe didn't have the brilliance of a magical spell. It didn't look like a robe.

He touched the Qingyun Robe, feeling its smoothness like silk and its firmness like cotton. He casually asked, "Why doesn't this have a magical spell glow?"

The middle-aged boss proudly said, "The Qingyun Robe is made of Cloud Silkworm Silk and Thousand-Year Green Leaf Silk.

"Not only is the robe exceptionally tough and difficult to break, but it also conceals the magical spell glow.

"Even when activating a spell, the magical spell glow remains hidden. It can be said to have a built-in Concealment Technique..."

Gao Xian was greatly tempted. The characteristics of this robe were perfect for him, but the price was also outrageously high!

Summoning his courage, he shouted a price, "200 spiritual stones."

The middle-aged boss didn't say anything. He pointed towards the door, making it clear that he wanted Gao Xian to leave quickly...
