Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 57: Gentle Breeze Brushes the Willow

"Leave it to the two of us..."

As these words echoed in Gao Xian's ears, the image of the fierce cultivator also appeared in the inner palace.

Gao Xian was startled, and he quickly withdrew his consciousness from the inner palace.

The room was still dark and cold, and the little black cat was sleeping soundly against his chest.

With a movement of his divine sense, Gao Xian had already "seen" the four cultivators outside the door.

Although Yao Qingshuang was wearing a cloak, Gao Xian recognized this woman at a glance, as well as the hilt of the sword exposed at her waist.

He also saw the fat stall owner.

"I knew there wouldn't be any good news with a bargain..." Gao Xian sighed in his heart. When he saw the fat stall owner, he understood that it was the Qinglian Crown he bought that attracted this group of people.

Obviously, the other party came to find him in the dark to kill and rob.

"It's a bit late to run now, I can only fight."

The house he was staying in had no back door, so if he wanted to leave from the courtyard, he would definitely run into the other party.

A cold light flashed in Gao Xian's eyes as he weighed his options. Although he still didn't like to solve problems with violence after practicing on Tengshe Mountain for dozens of days, when faced with a situation, he wouldn't always think of retreating.

Cultivators like Yao Qingshuang were in the business of killing and robbing. There was no reasoning with them.

While taking action, he had to come up with a good strategy.

Yao Qingshuang's Qingshuang Sword was exceptionally sharp, her swordsmanship was superb, and her cultivation level was the highest.

Kill Yao Qingshuang first. As long as Yao Qingshuang was dealt with, the others would be easier to handle.

With the Great Occult Divine Art reaching the Grandmaster level, Gao Xian's confidence greatly increased. After discovering Yao Qingshuang and the others, he could calmly think of a solution.

Silently, Gao Xian got off the bed, put on the Water and Fire Lotus Silk Boots lightly, and quietly drew out the Stone-Cutting Sword before coming to the main hall.

He took out a large bottle of Dreaming Powder from his storage bag and released it all while holding his breath.

In the sealed dark room, Gao Xian could see the Dreaming Powder floating around like specks of dust, quickly covering most of the room.

Being able to do this surprised Gao Xian. The Great Occult Divine Art had greatly enhanced his senses, allowing him to see so many details in the darkness, which gave him even more confidence.

Yao Qingshuang and the others had already climbed over the wall and entered. Yao Qingshuang moved lightly like a feather, while the other three were not as skilled.

Especially the fat stall owner, his heavy footsteps upon landing were quite harsh in the quiet night.

Through his divine sense, Gao Xian could clearly see the movements of the four people through the thick wooden door.

He could even see the flow of spiritual energy on their bodies, with Yao Qingshuang's spiritual energy being as dense as substance, resonating with the sword in her hand.

The other three were much weaker in cultivation level compared to her.

"Qi Refining Late Stage, perhaps even reached the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

Gao Xian was not too sure about this, but based on his intuition, he judged that Yao Qingshuang was much worse than Qi Niang.

Yao Qingshuang stood in the middle of the courtyard, completely unaware that she had exposed her tracks.

She waved her hand, signaling her two subordinates to take action.

The two fierce men immediately activated their talismans, one using the Golden Body Talisman and the other using the Wood Shield Talisman.

Although the opponent was only a Qi Refining early-stage cultivator, they didn't dare to be careless.

Rushing into a sealed room without knowing the true strength of the opponent was extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, the two men were experienced in such matters. With Yao Qingshuang leading the way, they were full of confidence.

The man who activated the Golden Body Talisman clenched his fist and gathered his strength. His muscles bulged, almost tearing his wide dao robe.

The man adjusted himself and suddenly slammed his shoulder against the wooden door. The violent force, weighing thousands of kilograms, directly shattered the door panel and broke two door bolts. The broken door crashed into the wall with a loud bang.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the man rolled into the room to stabilize himself after exerting too much force.

The other man quickly followed, holding the Wood Shield. One high, one low, one left, one right, their positions were perfect.

The green light emitted by the Wood Shield covered the room, revealing Gao Xian's figure in the corner under the green light.

The two men were surprised to find Gao Xian standing in the corner. They instinctively retreated to prevent Gao Xian from launching a surprise attack.

A large amount of bewitching incense was scattered in the room due to their movements.

The two men, who were unprepared, inevitably breathed in some of the bewitching incense.

Even a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator couldn't resist the overbearing bewitching incense.

Both men's vision darkened, and their bodies uncontrollably swayed.

They knew something was wrong, but the large amount of bewitching incense was eroding their consciousness. They struggled to maintain their balance with their willpower, but it was difficult to respond appropriately.

Gao Xian raised his Stone-Cutting Sword and rushed out of the gap between the two men.

One man had the Wood Shield, and the other had the Golden Body Talisman. It would take some time to kill them.

For a Qi Refining late-stage cultivator like Yao Qingshuang, this time was too long, long enough for her to become alert and unleash spells and magical tools.

Therefore, Gao Xian didn't pay attention to the two men. They wouldn't be able to hold on for long in a room filled with bewitching incense.

Gao Xian's eyes were only on Yao Qingshuang standing in the courtyard. It was his first time facing a powerful Qi Refining late-stage cultivator, and any slight mistake could cost him his life.

He was very nervous, but he didn't panic like he did when facing Lao Wang.

This nervousness made him incredibly focused, and his body was in an unusually excited state from the inside out.

In the depths of Gao Xian's brow, Lan Jie appeared. Through the mysterious connection with Lan Jie, he could see all the subtle changes in himself.

Under Lan Jie's guidance, the qi orifices in his lower dantian and lingtai were frantically exhaling and inhaling spiritual energy. Threads of spiritual energy circulated through his limbs, filling his body inside and out with power, while also forming a layer of protection for his organs.

The third level of his Five Elements Cultivation Technique, which he had diligently cultivated, was fully activated at this moment.

At a deeper level, his bones and muscles faintly emitted electric currents.

Gao Xian knew that it was the operation of the Grandmaster-level Electric Light Photovoltaic Dragon Hand.

It was precisely because of the combination of the Great Evenness Divine Technique and the Electric Light Photovoltaic Dragon Hand, two Grandmaster-level secret techniques, that he possessed an unimaginable speed and an unimaginable powerful divine consciousness.

Only when he was in full operation could Gao Xian grasp all the subtle changes inside and outside his body.

Gao Xian still had spare energy to observe Yao Qingshuang, as well as the situation of the other three cultivators. Everything within a radius of ten zhang was within his grasp.

The other three cultivators were not a threat, the key was Yao Qingshuang.

Yao Qingshuang was very alert, her eyes showing a look of suspicion, and her mana suddenly boiling inside her body.

In Gao Xian's eyes, the mana in Yao Qingshuang's body was like burning, releasing clusters of green light.

Through the observation of the spiritual light of mana, Gao Xian compared himself to Yao Qingshuang and concluded that the mana circulating in Yao Qingshuang's body was at least three to five times stronger than his own.

What was even more terrifying was Yao Qingshuang's keen reaction. She immediately activated her mana when she sensed something was wrong.

The green light in Yao Qingshuang's body first resonated with the sword in her hand, followed by the green robe on her body.

It was obvious that Yao Qingshuang's first move would be to activate the sword, followed by activating the protective spell on her robe.

Gao Xian knew that he couldn't let Yao Qingshuang activate her spells. No matter what kind of protective spell it was, it was not something he could easily break through.

He only had one advantage against Yao Qingshuang, which was that he had the initiative, being faster in terms of speed and more sophisticated in terms of spells.

Only by launching a sudden attack could he have a chance to deal with the formidable Yao Qingshuang. Once the two sides were deadlocked, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

Without hesitation, Gao Xian activated the True Yang Spear. The seal held by the Lanjie on his forehead condensed into a golden True Yang Spear in an instant, reflecting a golden light in the depths of his pupils.

Yao Qingshuang in the courtyard was extremely sensitive. As soon as Gao Xian moved, she sensed that something was wrong.

When Gao Xian activated the True Yang Spear, Yao Qingshuang even saw the golden light in Gao Xian's eyes.

"What kind of spell is this?"

Yao Qingshuang was shocked in her heart. Before she could figure it out, the invisible True Yang Spear had already pierced her forehead.

Yao Qingshuang had practiced swordsmanship for many years and experienced many battles. Her willpower had long been honed to be as sharp as a sword.

At this moment, holding the sword, she and the sword's mana resonated. The divine intent condensed into a divine sword.

The True Yang Golden Spear pierced Yao Qingshuang's divine intent, instantly bursting into a golden light rain, but Yao Qingshuang only slightly furrowed her brows.

This spear came suddenly and strangely, but fortunately, its power was not too strong. It was like being fiercely pricked by a burning red iron needle.

It hurt, but it didn't cause any substantial harm to her.

"This kid has some skills! Unfortunately, he encountered me," Yao Qingshuang thought to herself.

Yao Qingshuang forcefully resisted the opponent's soul spell and also endured the piercing pain. She still felt somewhat proud in her heart.

At this time, the second True Yang Spear had already fiercely pierced her forehead. The pain caused by this made Yao Qingshuang unable to help but scream.

The third, fourth, and fifth True Yang Spears shot consecutively, and although Yao Qingshuang's divine intent was firm, it was difficult for her to withstand the one-sided attacks.

The impact of the True Yang Spears on her divine intent had already caused her vision to darken and her body to weaken.

Yao Qingshuang felt something was wrong, and she instinctively drew her sword.

The dazzling blue light on the sword's edge caused Yao Qingshuang's scattered mind to naturally converge around the sword light.

After thirty years of sword practice, she finally felt a sense of unity between her body and the sword at this moment. It made Yao Qingshuang tightly guard her mind and forcefully suppress the destructive power of the Zhenyang Spear.

Yao Qingshuang connected five shots of the Zhenyang Spear and surprisingly managed to withstand it by resonating with the sword's intent.

Gao Xian was also greatly surprised. His powerful divine technique had reached the level of a grandmaster, greatly enhancing the power of the Zhenyang Spear.

Even so, he couldn't shake Yao Qingshuang. This woman was not simple!

At a critical moment, Gao Xian pointed with his left hand, and a one-foot-long ice cone shot straight towards Yao Qingshuang's face.

The distance between the two was less than ten steps, and the speed of the instant ice arrow was incredibly fast.

Yao Qingshuang connected five shots of the Zhenyang Spear, and although she barely controlled her mind, she couldn't avoid being greatly affected.

She realized a moment too late that a white light was flashing towards her, and she didn't have time to activate her protective spell. She could only wield her sword to strike.

The blue sword light flashed like cold electricity and accurately struck the one-foot-long ice cone.

The terrifying power of the sword strike caused the ice cone to shatter into countless pieces of ice.

Gao Xian suddenly accelerated from ten steps away and instantly arrived in front of Yao Qingshuang.

Gao Xian's stone-cutting sword in his hand stabbed directly at Yao Qingshuang's face. Yao Qingshuang had used almost all her strength to break the ice cone, so she could only barely twist her wrist and counterattack, aiming directly at Gao Xian's chest.

If Gao Xian didn't dodge, both of them would meet their demise. As long as she could force the other party back one step, giving her a moment to catch her breath, she could turn the tables!

Yao Qingshuang's swordsmanship was superb. Facing danger, she changed her moves and fought with her life, showing her decisiveness and adaptability.

What Yao Qingshuang couldn't have expected was that Gao Xian's incredibly fast direct stab had another change.

The stone-cutting sword, which was originally stabbing straight, suddenly bent downward, and the snow-colored sword edge lightly swept across her sword-wielding wrist without any trace of fire or smoke.

Yao Qingshuang didn't even have time to feel the pain. Her hand holding the sword was severed, and blood gushed out.

"What a fast sword!"

Yao Qingshuang was greatly shocked. This one sword from the opponent looked light but was extremely fast. Even in a head-on confrontation, she might not be able to avoid this sword.

Of course, Gao Xian wouldn't give Yao Qingshuang any chance. He followed up with a skillful upward sweep of his stone-cutting sword.

This move, called "Gentle Breeze Brushing Willow," was fast and elusive like the wind, light as smoke, and naturally graceful in its changes.

Yao Qingshuang watched as the snow-colored sword edge lightly brushed towards her, but she was completely powerless to dodge. Despair and horror appeared in her eyes.

In the midst of the flowing snow-colored sword light, Yao Qingshuang's head flew up into the sky with a face full of astonishment.

In the howling cold wind, Yao Qingshuang's hot blood was freely splattered.

The chubby man standing beside her was drenched in blood, his face and head covered. However, he dared not even take a breath...
