Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 98: Taking Action

The sudden scream startled Gao Xian and Huang Ying.

Huang Ying quickly got up to tidy her clothes, her face full of nervousness as she said to Gao Xian, "Something's not right, you go first."

She knew that Gao Xian was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining and was an alchemist who had never hunted and killed demonic beasts in the mountains. He was not good at fighting at all.

If something were to happen, Gao Xian staying here would not only be of no help, but would also be a hindrance.

Huang Ying swiftly fastened her clothes and equipped her sword. She was about to open the door to check the situation when Gao Xian pulled her back.

"Don't go out, they're rushing in."

Gao Xian had a powerful divine sense, much stronger than Huang Ying's.

Huang Ying only heard the screams and didn't know exactly what was happening. Gao Xian, on the other hand, could accurately assess the situation ahead through his divine sense, sensing various subtle sounds and smells.

About thirty to forty cultivators rushed into the Bai Bing Tang. Several shop assistants and two guards were killed by them, leaving only a few who were frantically fleeing.

At this time, more than ten cultivators had already broken into the backyard. The leader of the group shouted, "Huang Ying is inside, capturing her will bring us great fortune! Brothers, charge!"

"Charge!"

"Kill that woman!"

The group of cultivators was both excited and fearful. They all rushed towards the room.

Inside the room, Huang Ying's face turned pale. Although her cultivation level was high, she rarely fought. Being trapped in the room by a group of cultivators made her panic.

"Sister Ying, hide well and don't get hurt."

Gao Xian pulled Huang Ying behind him. He activated the Qingyun Shield and the Shadowless Robe, but did not use the invisibility function of the Shadowless Robe.

With these two layers of protective spells, they were enough to withstand most first-tier spells and magical artifacts.

After protecting himself, Gao Xian flicked his finger, and a condensed flame ball the size of a pigeon egg pierced through the gauze curtain and directly hit the leader of the group.

Seeing the flickering flame, the cultivator knew something was wrong and quickly raised the thick earth shield in his hand.

Several cultivators in the front also raised their wooden shields, sharp metal shields, and other defensive spell shields.

However, the flame ball cleverly drew an arc in the air and landed in the middle of the crowd.

At the same time as the flame ball changed direction, its speed suddenly increased.

Before many cultivators could react, the dazzling red light had already exploded in the crowd.

For the past few months, Gao Xian had been diligently practicing spells in the Heart-Mind Palace, elevating both the Flame Ball and the Ice Arrow Art to the level of Grandmaster.

With the Grandmaster-level Flame Ball combined with the power of the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens, its power was many times greater than that of an ordinary Flame Ball.

The high temperature and magical impact caused by the explosion of the flame ball were terrifying. Even though the group of cultivators had protective spells, they were all left dizzy and disoriented. Two unlucky ones were directly knocked unconscious.

The group of cultivators were both shocked and afraid. How could such a small flame ball have such power?

Before everyone could figure it out, the second flame ball had already shot out and hit the leader of the group who had blocked the first flame ball with his earth shield.

The cultivator reacted quickly and blocked the flame ball with his thick earth shield, but he couldn't withstand the impact of the explosion. He staggered back several steps.

The thick earth shield in his hand also had a large hole blasted through it, and the gathered magical power that formed the shield was dissipating. It was clear that it could no longer be used.

Seeing that the situation was not good, this person was about to call on everyone to attack together, but before he could open his mouth, the third flame ball had already penetrated the gap in his earth shield and landed on his head.

Another loud explosion, and the upper half of the person's body was blown to pieces, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

This gruesome scene also frightened the other cultivators.

Of course, there were also many fierce individuals who took this opportunity to activate various spells and magical artifacts such as the Gengjin Sword Talisman, Flame Ball, Flying Needles, and Throwing Knives, all of which were thrown towards the main room.

At the same time, another flame ball shot out and exploded when it intersected with the spells and magical artifacts launched by the cultivators.

The explosion of countless flames caused the cultivators' spells and magical artifacts to be completely blown away.

The exquisite and extraordinary spells also left many cultivators dumbfounded.

What no one expected was that five consecutive flame balls had already pierced through the shining flames and shot out, consecutively hitting several cultivators in front.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The consecutive explosions of the flame balls shattered various protective spells and magical artifacts, turning several cultivators into pieces.

The remaining cultivators were all rolling around, completely losing control of their bodies due to the intense flame light.

Among the few cultivators at the back who were least affected, one clever person shouted, "She's out of mana!"

Before this person could finish his sentence, a sharp and icy light had already shot in front of him.

He hastily raised the wooden shield, but the sharp and icy light had already pierced through the shield and directly entered his forehead.

His vision went black and he died on the spot.

The destructive power of the Ice Arrow spell was not as strong as the Flame Bullet, but its sharpness surpassed that of the Flame Bullet, making it more effective at breaking shields.

The wooden shield activated by an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator was as fragile as paper under the Ice Arrow, easily shattered with a single strike.

Other cultivators were horrified to see this. How could a low-level spell like Ice Arrow break a shield and kill someone in one hit? How are we supposed to fight against this...

Before this group of cultivators could react, the sharp and icy light continued to flash. With a sharp piercing sound, seven cultivators were pierced through along with their shields.

A series of Flame Bullets and Ice Arrows swept through like a storm. In just a couple of breaths, more than half of the cultivators who had rushed into the backyard were killed.

The remaining few cultivators, although not dead, were disoriented and lost their fighting ability due to the explosions of the Flame Bullets.

Several cultivators stood at the door, watching their companions being killed by a barrage of spells. They were so scared that they didn't dare to take another step forward.

Huang Ying in the room was stunned. Gao Xian unleashed one spell after another like a torrential rain, leaving no room for the opponent to catch their breath.

Even if cultivators activated their talismans, they couldn't possibly match this speed.

Not to mention, Gao Xian didn't need to chant incantations or use hand seals. He could instantly cast spells with just a snap of his fingers, and the power of his spells was unbelievably strong, easily defeating many cultivators in a single encounter.

Such spells filled her with awe.

Huang Ying looked at Gao Xian, who was enveloped in a faint layer of water-like light, with a clear light covering his head, making it impossible to see his face or expression.

Suddenly, Huang Ying felt that this handsome man was so unfamiliar, so mysterious, and so powerful.

She couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Her brother was too strong! In this dangerous situation, she couldn't help but feel hot all over.

It was as if the Flame Bullets unleashed by Gao Xian were landing directly on her heart, exploding it into pieces and igniting her whole being.

Huang Ying looked into Gao Xian's eyes, which were shining brightly. She couldn't help but want to devour him immediately, only then could she extinguish the flames in her heart.

Gao Xian didn't notice Huang Ying's reaction. The three spiritual apertures in his body were operating together, under the guidance of Lan Jie in his forehead, gathering and condensing his spiritual energy once again.

After reaching the Grandmaster level in the Lightning Dragon Hand technique, his casting speed had increased. Even the speed of his spiritual energy recovery had noticeably improved.

With the secret technique of the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens, he could cast another round of spells with just one breath.

Compared to these Qi Refining cultivators, the spells he used were like assault rifles, while the spells used by Qi Refining cultivators were like flintlock rifles.

There was a huge difference in terms of power, rate of fire, and accuracy between the two sides.

Lan Jie, deep in Gao Xian's forehead, could control the battlefield with her powerful divine sense, making precise analysis and judgments, ensuring that his attacks always achieved the best results.

As a result, he could easily suppress the group of scattered cultivators on the other side.

Gao Xian flicked his finger, and three Flame Bullets shot out, hitting the struggling cultivators in the courtyard.

Boom! The erupting flames tore apart several cultivators, and the flames scattered like fireworks, carrying flesh and blood.

"Foundation Building cultivators!"

Someone exclaimed, and the dozen or so cultivators who had been hesitating at the door suddenly woke up. Indeed, only Foundation Building cultivators possessed such divine power!

Realizing this, the cultivators lost all their fighting spirit and hurriedly turned to flee.

Gao Xian didn't pursue them. He needed to conceal his identity and avoid exposure. If he chased after them, he would definitely be seen by many people.

Moreover, it wasn't worth it to chase after a group of desperate scattered cultivators.

Gao Xian said to Huang Ying, "Ying Jie, it's over now."

He continued, "You tidy up, I'll leave first. Oh, Ying Jie, keep this a secret and don't let anyone know that it was me who did it."

Huang Ying suddenly hugged Gao Xian tightly, "Little brother, you saved sister's life! Sob... sob..."

Huang Ying also came to her senses. She suddenly realized how dangerous the battle just now was.

If Gao Xian hadn't intervened, dozens of scattered cultivators would have swarmed her, and she would have been doomed. And if she didn't die, her fate would have been even worse.

Gao Xian possessed such amazing spells, completely beyond her imagination.

Even though she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt like she was in a dream.

It wasn't until the bandits retreated that Huang Ying finally came to her senses and realized what had just happened, and how powerful Gao Xian's spells were.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened, moved, and excited she became.

Huang Ying held onto Gao Xian with tears of excitement in her eyes, unwilling to let go...
