Looking at Feng Dushi, who was lying on the ground, and the other few elders who were groaning in pain, the cultivators of the Qi family were all stunned, their faces filled with fear, not knowing what to do. Now that even these strong individuals had lost their fighting strength, what could they do?
"Haha, Qi family, this is your fate." Tie Erye and the others, who were detoxifying nearby, suddenly stood up and stepped forward. "Today, none of you will leave. The Qi family will be erased from Beilan City. Men of the Tie family, kill them."
The people of the Tie family all seemed elated. They had almost given up hope, but they never expected that the young man would turn the tide, completely destroying the main fighting force of the Qi family. With this, what was there to fear? With the current strength of the Tie family, they were more than capable of sweeping away their opponents.
Tie Zhenlan, without waiting to fully expel the poison, led the remaining cultivators to attack the cultivators of the Qi family.
Seeing the Tie family take action, Xiao Yun had no intention of moving.
This time, using the God-Slaying Spear had drained a lot of his soul power. Why waste energy when he could conserve it?
"I wonder if this guy has any other good things on him?" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Feng Dushi's body and began to sense for anything. Soon, he detected a familiar波动, which made him delighted.
"Sure enough, there is." Xiao Yun quickly found a rhombus-shaped object on Feng Dushi's body.
This object was about the size of a fist, conical in shape, covered with iron petals that fit together to form an irregular rhombus-shaped weapon, or it looked like a flower bud. Upon closer inspection, there were mysterious runes carved on the iron petals, emitting a cryptic波动.
"Is this a magical weapon?" Xiao Yun held the object in his hand, feeling curious. The runes on it were clearly the key to controlling it, which was why it had such great power, even capable of overwhelming True Essence Realm cultivators.
"Magical weapons are beyond mystic weapons," said the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow. "Some magical weapons are inscribed with runes, and combined with extraordinary materials and special bloodlines, they possess various abilities, making them spirit weapons. If one holds such a weapon, their combat power will greatly increase, allowing them to fight beyond their rank."
"Ah." Xiao Yun's eyebrows arched, filled with anticipation for these spirit weapons. The God-Slaying Spear in his Swallowing Heaven Tower was very powerful, but it was difficult to fully activate and could not be used for prolonged battles. If he had a spirit weapon, it would perfectly complement his shortcomings.
"These magical weapons can be found in major sects," said the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow. "So after you join the Tianyuan Sect, you will have a chance to obtain one."
"I wonder if he has any other treasures on him?" Xiao Yun nodded and continued to search Feng Dushi's body.
After a thorough search, he was soon disappointed.
This type of hidden weapon was only found in one piece on Feng Dushi's body. As for other items, there were very few. There was a book on poisons and a few antidote powders, indicating that he was also an alchemist, though only capable of refining powders.
"This hidden weapon will be a new trump card." Xiao Yun shook his head, put away the hidden weapon and the book on poisons, and then his palm flickered with purple flames, reducing Feng Dushi to nothing. At this moment, the battle between the Tie family and the Qi family cultivators had come to an end.
Without True Essence Realm cultivators, the Qi family cultivators were almost completely defeated under the attacks of Tie Erye and the others.
In front of the Tie family residence, blood flowed like a river, making the night seem eerily beautiful.
The evening breeze carried a scent of blood, causing the cultivators in the residence to shiver with fear.
A brutal battle had ended, and everyone was filled with emotion. The Tie family was truly untouchable now!
Especially that young man, who was feared like a god descended from heaven, making people feel that they dare not offend him.
No one dared to think of taking advantage of the situation to gain an advantage.
The Tie family was extremely grateful to Xiao Yun, filled with awe.
Today, this young man had turned the tide, defeating the main force of the Qi family!
Without him, the Tie family would have perished.
Xiao Yun, however, smiled faintly. This battle had been extremely dangerous for him.
His God-Slaying Spear was very powerful, but it could only be used at full strength once. Once his soul power dropped, it would be difficult to deal with other True Essence Realm cultivators. This time, Xiao Yun's success was also closely related to his advanced martial soul.
After advancing his martial soul, he could control the green light well, allowing him to spread the poison and injure several of the Qi family's strong individuals.
After the battle, Tie Erye and the others immediately returned to the residence to heal their wounds.
This time, the Tie family suffered heavy losses. Dozens of innate realm cultivators were dead, and the clan was left with only a few body tempering realm cultivators. Even the True Essence Realm strong individuals were severely injured, with wounds that would be difficult to recover from.
Tie Zhenlan and the others thanked Xiao Yun and immediately began to meditate.
The Tie family's strength was greatly weakened, and if they did not quickly recover, they would be vulnerable to attacks.
Xiao Yun also began to meditate to restore his soul power.
Without sufficient soul power, he would be powerless against True Essence Realm cultivators.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night. Under Xiao Yun's intimidation, the cultivators of the major clans in Beilan City did not dare to attack rashly.
After a night of meditation, Xiao Yun's soul power was finally restored.
"Are you leaving?" Tie Rong'er walked over. She was tall and well-endowed, very attractive, but her beautiful eyes were clouded with sorrow. Now that the crisis of the Tie family was resolved, she knew this young man would leave.
"I will stay for two more days," said Xiao Yun. "I will leave some pills to help you recover your strength."
"Okay," said Tie Rong'er, nodding without saying more, just silently accompanying the young man.
After yesterday's battle, she knew the gap between her and this young man was too great, and it would be difficult to keep up with him.
Forcing herself to stay would only be a burden to him.
Xiao Yun then received a message. A manager of the Yunhai Merchant Alliance in Beilan City personally delivered the herbs and wanted to meet Xiao Yun. Clearly, he had heard about yesterday's events and wanted to see this god-like young man.
Xiao Yun immediately declined the request, sending a message that he would send some pills to the Yunhai Merchant Alliance soon.
He was too prominent now and did not need to attract the attention of the Yunhai Merchant Alliance.
Xiao Yun did not want to reveal his identity, as his feud with the Qiu family was not yet resolved. Without sufficient strength, he did not want others to know of his existence, as it could cause trouble. It was better to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Reluctantly, the manager of the Yunhai Merchant Alliance left.
Xiao Yun then began to refine pills.
Two days later, Xiao Yun handed several bottles of pills to Tie Rong'er.
"With these pills, your family's strength will greatly increase, and you will have a foothold in Beilan City," said Xiao Yun.
"Are you leaving?" Tie Rong'er took the bottles, her voice filled with reluctance.
Xiao Yun spread his hands. "I have stayed long enough and should leave now."
The Tie family's affairs were now settled, and after the pills, the strong individuals had recovered their strength and were ready for battle.
"Can you stay one more day?" Tie Rong'er's eyes blinked. "I want to spend one more day with you."
"Sure," Xiao Yun took a deep breath, also feeling a bit reluctant. He was destined to travel far, not only for the responsibility on his shoulders but also to better protect those around him. If he did not become a strong individual, how could he stand his ground?
In this world where martial arts were supreme, strength was the only way.
Only with sufficient strength could he protect his loved ones from being bullied.
The next day, after making all the preparations, Xiao Yun bid farewell to Tie Rong'er.
"I will always wait for you in Beilan City," said Tie Rong'er, watching his departing back.
Leaving Beilan City, Xiao Yun traveled far, deciding to explore the Tianyan Mansion.
From the information he had, this was the legacy of a powerful individual, a rare opportunity for him.
Even the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow was excited.
From its name, it was clear that the powerful individual had a fire attribute martial soul. His legacy would definitely have a fire vein, and once Xiao Yun obtained the essence of fire, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow could also recover some of its strength, which would benefit Xiao Yun as well.
His purple flame martial soul was currently too weak, and he needed to increase his fire essence to advance.
This was a dense mountain range, with ancient trees reaching the sky, their canopies blocking the sun. Occasionally, the roar of a beast could be heard from the mountains.
However, if one looked around, they could see a bald mountain range in the vast expanse of the mountains.
These mountains had few plants, with blackened rocks, as if they had been scorched. A wave of heat often swept over, making the temperature in this mountain range particularly scorching. The plants and herbs growing here also carried the essence of fire.
On a cliff, a young man was climbing, like a monkey, plucking a glowing lingzhi mushroom.
"This is a good place," the young man leaped down from the cliff, looking at the gem-like lingzhi in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He had only just entered this area and already found such a treasure, which was quite lucky.
"Ha ha, Xiao Yun, give it to me, give it to me. This fire lingzhi is at least two hundred years old. Give it to me to consume," a voice suddenly rang in the young man's ears. It was the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, who was suppressed in the Swallowing Heaven Tower.
And this young man was, of course, Xiao Yun.
After leaving Beilan City, he had traveled to the mountain range where the Tianyan Mansion was located.
"Give it to you?" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, showing a hint of hesitation.
This fire lingzhi contained the essence of fire, which could help his fire martial soul advance.
"Kid, you're not thinking of keeping it all to yourself, are you?" Seeing Xiao Yun hesitate, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow rolled its eyes. "I spent a lot of energy for you. You have to compensate me this time, or I won't help you fight in the future."
"What's the rush? I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you," Xiao Yun said, feeling speechless.
"Hmm, that kid has a fire lingzhi."
"This is a rare medicinal herb that can only be cultivated in extremely hot places by absorbing the essence of fire." Just as Xiao Yun was about to give the fire lingzhi to the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, a sharp voice suddenly sounded. Turning around, he saw a few young men approaching from the rubble, their eyes filled with a fiery desire.
Xiao Yun's brows furrowed, knowing he was in trouble.
However, he was not overly worried. There were four of them, all innate realm cultivators, who were far from a match for him. If they wanted to take his things, it would be like taking food from a tiger's mouth, risking their lives.
