Chapter 722: Chapter 722 Battle Against Yinsha (Three More Chapters for Double Monthly Pass Votes) Chapter 722: Chapter 722 Battle Against Yinsha (Three More Chapters for Double Monthly Pass Votes) Feng Jun had barely turned around when Qi Wushi let out another stern shout, “Hold your steps! Please face my attack!”

It was then that Huang Fu Wuxia shouted loudly, “Stop!”

However, her cry came a bit too late, Qi Wushi’s Green Ghost Banner trembled, and four shadows materialized in the air, one large and three small, all pouncing towards Feng Jun.

Since Feng Jun had turned to leave, how could he not be on guard? He swiftly dodged, already dashing into his own territory.

Like a whirlwind, he rushed a hundred meters past the Boundary Monument before turning around, pinched a Thunder Decree in his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck a shadow squarely.

This particular shadow was one of the three smaller ghosts, with a Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level, and with just this one strike, it vanished into smoke and dissipated.

The next moment, the shadow appeared before the Green Ghost Banner, greatly diminished in size, its color so faint as to be almost non-existent. Were it not for the reflection of the bright snow, it would be nearly invisible to the average person.

Qi Wushi shook the long banner in his hand again, withdrawing the shadow, his face betraying no particular expression.

Raising these Ghosts had been a substantial strain for him, and with this Ghost so gravely injured, it would take five or six years to recover.

But he didn’t feel sorry, or rather, he thought it was a reasonable price to pay. Given that his opponent was proficient in Thunder Technique and had a quite decent cultivation level, the injury of one ghost was a fair trade for allowing the other three to get close. This tactic was definitely worth it.

Qi Wushi was selected to come by You Longzi for a reason; among his Green Ghost Banner’s one large and three small ghosts, including one at the initial stage of transcendence, there were very few Qi Refining Disciples in the Yinsha Sect who owned such a magic artifact.

Not to mention, Qi Refining Disciples usually couldn’t subdue Ghosts of the transcendence phase.

In addition to possessing such a high-quality magic artifact, Qi Wushi himself was particularly skilled in close combat. He wielded the Yin Spirit Sword so masterfully that within the Yinsha Sect, he was rather unconventional.

Adept at both long-range and close combat, and exceeding his peers in both, it was recognized within the Yinsha Sect that Qi Wushi had the ability to defeat cultivators of the transcendence phase who were of higher rank.

Even the more pessimistic would say that it would not be a problem for Qi Wushi to escape when facing a Transcendence Phase adversary.

In fact, looking at the current situation, it was clear. He had released four ghosts, and although one suffered a heavy injury and fled back, the other three had already encircled the opponent. This was now three against one.

As previously stated, in a cultivator’s battle, one plus one never equals two.

Just one Ghost of the Transcendence Phase was enough to cause Feng Jun to be in a flurry, and with two Qi Refining Ghosts hampering him from the side, it was only a matter of time before he fell.

Even if Feng Jun had the Thunder Technique, how many times could he use such powerful Thunder Techniques?

And these combat strengths were just from one Green Ghost Banner. If one were to add Qi Wushi’s Yin Spirit Sword to the mix–claiming he could slay Transcendence Phase cultivators was no boast.

Before he could rush forward, Huang Fu Wuxia coldly snorted again, “Fellow Daoist Qi… Do not make a mistake!”

Qi Wushi turned his head to see Chairman Huang Fu with a darkened face, holding several Talismans in his hand, “I told you to stop!”

At that moment, two more wails were heard, as two Qi-Refining Ghosts retreated sharply, their figures fading significantly.

The Transcendence Phase Ghost was in better shape but didn’t dare to get too close. It was now using Yin Energy Bombs and illusion attacks, occasionally moving close for an attack, its Ghost Fork also avoiding a direct confrontation with Feng Jun.

“What’s this…,” Qi Wushi’s eyes narrowed as he instinctively gripped the longsword at his waist, ready to rush into battle.

Immediately after, he felt a killing intent firmly locking on to him, and without even needing to turn his head, he knew it was a warning from Chairman Huang Fu.

It was then that You Longzi spoke coldly, “Huang Fu junior, what do you mean by this?”

Huang Fu Wuxia answered indifferently, “Nothing much. Since Fellow Daoist Feng has asked me to officiate the duel, I do not wish to see any pointless private fighting before the terms are agreed upon.”

Then she turned her head, looking seriously at the other party, “Elder You Longzi, I think it’s necessary to remind you, I originally wanted to buy the Nether Bead myself, but out of respect for the Yinsha Sect, I let Fellow Daoist Le have it.”

At that moment, the two Qi-Refining Ghosts received a message, knowing their master was urging them to attack, so they gritted their teeth and charged again.

This time, Feng Jun did not hesitate and directly triggered two Thunderclap Talismans, striking the two ghosts with a wail, causing them to retreat swiftly.

Seeing this, Huang Fu Wuxia grew furious, “Haven’t you had enough?”

Qi Wushi spread his hands, shamelessly replying, “My Green Ghost Banner was refined by my elders, and I’m not very adept at using it.”

After a pause, he added, “If I had intended to cease fighting, I would have rushed to battle long ago.”

Before Huang Fu Wuxia could speak, You Longzi sneered angrily, “Using Falling Thunder Technique and Thunderclap Talismans, even a Fierce Sun Stone… Kid, are you deliberately targeting our Yinsha Sect, thinking we’re easy to bully?”

A Fierce Sun Stone? Qi Wushi was taken aback, silently signaling for the Transcendence Phase ghost to retreat, and couldn’t help but reproach himself, How could I forget about such a thing?

If it were just the Fierce Sun Blade, it would be one thing, as its effectiveness in slaying Yin creatures would indeed be somewhat better, but it wouldn’t be as suppressive against Transcendence Phase Ghosts. However, if it were an entire chunk of Fierce Sun Stone, then it would be an entirely different matter.

“Well, if Feng Jun didn’t have the Falling Thunder Technique nor the Thunderclap Talisman, relying solely on the Fierce Sun Stone and the one big and three small ghosts he possesses, he could only manage to restrain the opponent by cooperating with each other, but not necessarily defeat him–unless Qi Wushi decided to rush in himself.”

Since that was the case, Qi Wushi felt that it was not easy to suppress the opponent with just one ghost in the Intermediate Level of the extramundane phase, especially with Huang Fu Flawless constantly releasing murderous intent from the side, so he simply ceased fighting.

Feng Jun was slightly surprised by this. He genuinely hadn’t expected that just by bringing out a long banner, the opponent could distract him to the point of almost losing his grip, and judging from his tone, his swordsmanship seemed quite remarkable as well.

He had underestimated the heroes of the world a bit.

Of course, even so, he didn’t think that he could lose this fight to the death. He just didn’t want to reveal too many of his trump cards.

However, this still served as a warning to him, that he couldn’t afford to dismiss others just because he could utilize the power to isolate planes.

The world is vast and filled with wonders, and the number of extraordinary people is countless. Confidence is good, but blind arrogance is a path to death.

So he looked deeply at Qi Wushi and nodded slightly, “You’re lucky that we did not agree on a duel to the death, otherwise you would already be dead.”

Qi Wushi let out a cold laugh, “Then agree to my terms, and let’s see who will end up dead.”

At that moment, his interest in fighting the opponent grew even stronger. Stuck at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm for quite a while, he was very eager to find a powerful opponent to battle with and to seek an opportunity to advance through life-and-death combat.

Feng Jun raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture, sneering as he spoke, “I hereby declare formally that you and that woman are unwelcome on my land. Do not enter, or else… death without mercy!”

This throat-slitting gesture had never appeared in this plane before, but it was so intuitive that it was instantly understood at a glance.

Xia Er’s face turned red with anger, but after looking at her master, she dared not continue her presumptuous behavior.

Qi Wushi smiled faintly, “Is that so? If it were a fair fight, I wouldn’t mind dying at your hands.”

Feng Jun looked at him as if gazing upon a fool, “You enter my home without my permission and still expect me to fight you fairly? Do you wake up every day feeling handsome?”

Waking up feeling handsome… Was that a compliment or an insult? For a moment, Qi Wushi couldn’t quite catch up.

Just then, a cold laugh rang out. You Longzi looked at Feng Jun coldly, “Is this how you treat your guests?”

“You don’t qualify as a guest,” Feng Jun retorted, raising a finger and waving it emphatically, “I respect you as an elder, so I let you investigate as you wish, even coming forward to ask for it. But what did you do… You have no Spirit Stones, and you thought to buy my Nether Bead?”

His voice grew louder, “I consider you as an elder, and you ought to act like one. You act dishonestly, and yet you want to continue putting on airs… Do I owe you a lot?”

You Longzi, feeling both shamed and annoyed, his round face turning red, “Who says I have no Spirit Stones? My reputation as You Longzi…”

“I know, your reputation can be exchanged for Spirit Stones,” Feng Jun interrupted him bluntly, “But the trade I conduct is one where goods are exchanged for cash on delivery. Is it too much to ask to have a look at your Spirit Stones?”

His voice became increasingly loud, “And what was the result? Not only did you not produce any Spirit Stones, but you also tried to kill my people!”

“If you ask me, immortals are different from mortals, indeed, but all are living beings. Even the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life, and common folk still know not to fish or hunt in spring… yet you resort to killing at the drop of a hat, without any shred of mercy.”

“Such a Yinsha Sect, such a You Longzi, do you even deserve to speak of the Cultivation Path? I have only one word for you… Pah!”

You Longzi, humiliated and furious, was about to explode when suddenly there came a loud laugh, “Ha ha, such eloquent words indeed, the Yinsha Sect is just a bunch of shameless scoundrels!”

Everyone turned to look, only to find that out of nowhere three people had appeared in the snowy field, all dressed in white robes.

The leader was a tall woman, nearly two meters tall, with a pale golden complexion, white eyebrows, and crimson eyes, obviously also at the Intermediate Level of the extradimensional phase.

Behind her, one man and one woman–the woman tall and strong, the man lean and short–but both were in the High Tier of Qi Refinement.

You Longzi’s expression changed upon seeing these three people, his chubby face distorting with fierceness, “Crazy woman, what does this have to do with you!”

“Your words are truly strange,” said the crimson-eyed woman as she stepped forward in the air, “The affairs of the world are for all to manage. You, You Longzi, can rob others of their treasures, and I can’t have a say?”

Huang Fu Flawless’s expression also turned odd, but he stepped forward and saluted, “Greetings to Elder Bai Luan.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jun’s eyebrows raised slightly, thinking, is this the Bai Luan of the Crimson Pheonix Sect’s nine outstanding talents known as the Crimson Pheonix Nine Luan? They are all in the extradimensional phase and recognized as Golden Core Seeds.

You Longzi, though also at the Intermediate Level of the extradimensional phase, was indeed a bit outdone by Bai Luan. His face turned dark as he spoke, “I want to buy the Nether Bead, not to be slandered by a madwoman.”

Bai Luan laughed coldly, “Do you have Spirit Stones?”
