"Ha ha..."

Wu Hongfei split the candle stand with one sword strike, facing the flying beads, he let out a mad laugh, flicking the sword blade with his finger. Accompanied by a clear "ding," the large sword in his hand suddenly transformed into nine swords.

With so many swords flying around Wu Hongfei, there was a series of "ding ding dang dang" sounds, but not a single bead managed to penetrate the sword shadows and hit Wu Hongfei.

Lin Haoming, watching this scene, drew a sharp breath.

Only now did he truly recognize Wu Hongfei's abilities. This man was just a body-cultivation practitioner, yet his skill in controlling flying swords had undoubtedly reached a level of perfection.

The three monks, realizing their Buddhist beads were ineffective, became even more solemn, and their playful remarks ceased.

After a round of attacks, the three monks shouted in unison, and the 108 beads merged into a complete string of beads.

The Buddhist beads shone with a green light, looking like a string of unparalleled night pearls, exceptionally dazzling.

At the same time, Wu Hongfei slapped the nine flying swords, which, leaving trails, slashed toward the three monks from all directions.

The three monks simultaneously cast their spells, and the string of beads, as if held in someone's hand, danced around, forming a green barrier around them.

Again, there was a series of "ding" sounds, and with each sound, green light occasionally shot out from around the three monks, hitting the rock walls and creating gaps. Some of the light even shattered the spirit stones.

Seeing this, Lin Haoming immediately cast a small spell to gather the fallen debris, then picked out the intact spirit stones from it.

Wang Chen, seeing Lin Haoming still thinking about collecting spirit stones at this moment, was quite impressed.

After about thirty to forty green lights had shot out, Wu Hongfei's attack was finally neutralized. Now, the string of beads had only about sixty to seventy beads left, and several of Wu Hongfei's nine flying swords were trembling around him, clearly not undamaged.

"Good skills, but you must die today!" Wu Hongfei shouted, waving his hand, and the nine flying swords merged again.

This time, after merging, the large sword in Wu Hongfei's hand seemed even bigger. The originally nearly four-foot-long sword was now seven feet long, and the blade was correspondingly wider.

Wu Hongfei, holding the large sword, without any hesitation, his scarred face filled with killing intent, slashed directly at the three monks.

The three monks' faces also became exceptionally solemn. They shouted in unison, and the remaining beads flew toward Wu Hongfei, while they immediately rushed in opposite directions.

The direction they rushed toward was where Lin Haoming was. The three monks had long realized that the weakest among their opponents was Lin Haoming, as there was a small realm difference, which indeed made a significant difference in many aspects.

Lin Haoming had long anticipated that the three monks would come toward him. Seeing them indeed do so, he immediately activated a stone armor talisman, then summoned the silver steel shield, and finally the mother and child swords.

Two of the monks each summoned a bronze ring to strike Lin Haoming, while the third monk waved his hand, throwing out a talisman.

The talisman flashed, transforming into a large fireball several feet in diameter. Firebirds separated from the fireball and flew in groups toward Wu Hongfei.

Seeing this, Lin Haoming forcibly blocked the two bronze rings, then slapped the pile of debris in front of him, causing a stream of water to surge out, sweeping up the debris and instantly forming a thick water curtain. He then threw another talisman, and with the talisman's glow, a shocking cold burst forth, turning the water curtain into a thick, solid ice wall.

If it were an ordinary ice wall, the bronze rings would have broken it, but this ice wall contained a large amount of rock, and the rocks in the spirit stone mine were exceptionally hard. Plus, someone was maintaining the ice wall from behind, so even after two strikes, the ice wall did not break.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Hongfei's nine swords were wildly dancing, and the firebirds surrounding him had all been cut down.

Seeing that the three monks were now in a desperate situation, they simultaneously took out a talisman and slapped it onto themselves.

However, to their surprise, the talisman did not react at all. In that moment of hesitation, Wu Hongfei's sword arrived, and one monk's bald head flew off.

When Lin Haoming broke the ice wall, he saw the three monks' corpses. They were still holding a soil escape talisman, and it was a high-quality talisman, but it did not work here.

At the same time, Wang Chen put away a set of array disks.

Lin Haoming had seen Xie Ruolan use this set of array disks multiple times, knowing it was called the Small Lock Heaven Array. Unless it was an ultimate escape talisman, it could not be used.

This set of array disks was quite valuable, priced at over 3,000 spirit stones in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. For the Red Leaf Mountain spirit stone mine dispute, Xie Ruolan had invested a significant amount of capital.

Wu Hongfei picked up the three monks' storage bags and gave the two bronze rings, previously summoned by the monks, to Lin Haoming and Wang Chen as a reward for their efforts.

Both of them glanced at the three storage bags and reluctantly accepted the mid-grade magical tools.

Both understood that the three monks were not simple. The string of beads they used together was extremely powerful, and even Qiao Chun might not have been able to withstand them. They were purely unlucky to encounter Wu Hongfei, but it also showed how strong Wu Hongfei was.

So, although they were somewhat dissatisfied with the distribution, Lin Haoming and Wang Chen did not say anything. They both understood the situation.

After killing the three monks, Wu Hongfei did not continue pursuing others but temporarily left the area, finding a place where no one would come, took a breath recovery pill, and used spirit stones to rest and replenish his mana.

When leaving, Lin Haoming directly put the three monks' corpses into a spirit beast bag.

Wu Hongfei only looked at Lin Haoming's actions but did not say anything.

Lin Haoming then began directing the bone marrow worms in the spirit beast bag to drill into the three monks' bones.

The reason Lin Haoming took the three monks was that they had practiced some body-cultivation techniques, making their bones stronger than those of ordinary cultivators, so he did not want to miss this opportunity.

As a member of the demonic sect, refining corpses was quite normal, so Lin Haoming was not afraid of their surprise. However, refining zombies was quite resource-intensive and affected the improvement of one's own cultivation, so few Qi Condensation cultivators did it. Lin Haoming thought they would at most be a bit surprised by his actions.
