"Two Magical Treasures?"

The Yin Yang Elder couldn't hide his astonishment when Zhu Ju summoned yet another Magical Treasure to block his assault.

Magical Treasures were rare.

Even Cultivators from minor sects might not obtain one after reaching the Dao Foundation stage.

Yet Zhu Ju actually possessed two, and both were extraordinary.

The Wind and Thunder Blade Wings were a masterpiece from the Magic World, capable of gathering and scattering at will with astonishing power.

The Xu Wind Thunder Banner was an even greater treasure, passed down in the Tian Family for a thousand years. While not a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, it wasn't far off.

However, Zhu Ju had only recently acquired this treasure and had yet to complete its Refinement, so he couldn't unleash its full power.

But it was more than enough for self-defense.

BOOM!

The ten-foot-long banner hung suspended in mid-air as wind and thunder surged across the battlefield, relentlessly bombarding the incoming Black Sword.

"Not bad!"

The Yin Yang Elder's four eyes glinted, a hint of greed appearing within them. Instead of being alarmed, he was delighted.

"A mere Mid-Stage Dao Foundation Cultivator actually has two Magical Treasures. It seems my luck is good today."

"Slash!"

Forming a Finger Technique, he commanded his dual swords to slash down with fury.

In the void, black and white qi intertwined, then transformed into a hazy gray Sword Light that descended.

He was a Late-Stage Dao Foundation Cultivator, and the Yin Yang Dual Swords were a set of Magical Treasures, their power far exceeding that of ordinary ones. It shouldn't be difficult to suppress his opponent if he went all out.

CLANG CLANG CLANG...

Below, the three hundred-plus Curved Sabers converged inward, instantly forming an iron ball that spun madly to block the Sword Light.

The Yin Yang Elder raised his eyebrows.

The Yin Yang Dual Swords he controlled shifted continuously, sometimes gathering, sometimes scattering in the air. At times they were unyieldingly hard and yang, at others, insidiously soft and yin. However, Zhu Ju's control of the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings was equally impressive. The hundreds of Curved Sabers moved like hundreds of nimble Swimming Fish, weaving back and forth through the air. They would often slip through the tiniest gaps at the most critical moments, denying the dual swords a chance for a direct confrontation.

Even when a direct clash was unavoidable, all three hundred-plus Curved Sabers would gather to block together, preventing him from crushing them easily.

"What an exquisite Sword Control Method."

Unable to gain the upper hand after a long battle, the Yin Yang Elder's expression turned grim.

"It seems I underestimated you!"

His opponent's Cultivation, strength, and Magical Treasures were all inferior to his own. Yet, by relying on that exquisite Sword Control Method, he was actually able to trade blows. Though at a disadvantage, he showed stubborn resilience and refused to be defeated.

Zhu Ju's expression was calm.

Ever since obtaining the Ten Directions Cross Sword, he had periodically entered an Illusion Realm to endure inhuman torture.

That Broken Sword Intent came from a Late-Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

With such a 'master' as a sparring partner, it would be truly inexcusable if he hadn't improved.

TAK!

He raised a hand, a gourd appearing in his palm. The gourd's mouth opened, and a stream of Thunder Balls shot straight toward the Yin Yang Elder.

"Hmph!"

The Yin Yang Elder's female face let out a delicate cry. An earthen wall rose from the ground out of nowhere, blocking the Thunder Balls.

BOOM!

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

As lightning exploded and dirt flew, a figure charged out from within, closing in on his opponent like a phantom.

Human Immortal Martial Arts—Little Heavenly Gang Fist Technique!

WHOOSH...

The Fist Force was contained and not yet unleashed, but the power hidden within already caused the Yin Yang Elder's expression to change drastically.

'A Body Refining Expert!'

SWOOSH!

He stomped his foot, and with a clash of Yin Yang Qi, his figure instantly retreated half a kilometer, reappearing in mid-air.

"What a Body Technique!"

Zhu Ju praised him, then his figure flashed, and he appeared beside the unconscious Dong Yuelan, who was muttering deliriously.

He grabbed her shoulder, pulled, and rapidly retreated.

He never intended to fight the man in close combat. His goal was to rescue Dong Yuelan and leave.

"Trying to run?"

The Yin Yang Elder narrowed his eyes, his figure rapidly closing in.

"To snatch someone from right under my nose, your skills are impressive. But if you think you can leave here alive..."

"Dream on!"

His voice suddenly became shrill, a mixture of male and female tones that felt like an awl piercing the mind.

"Ngh!"

Zhu Ju let out a muffled groan, his body faltering for a moment.

'A Divine Soul Secret Technique!'

However, his own Divine Soul Power was also formidable, and with the Soul-Shocking Bell guarding his Sea of Consciousness, he recovered instantly.

"Hee hee..."

The Yin Yang Elder's female face giggled delicately, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"A Physical Body accomplished in Body Refining, powerful Divine Soul Power... even though his Primordial Yang is gone, he's still a top-quality Furnace Tripod."

"Brother..."

"Today is truly a good day for us. You get the Female Cultivator from the Hundred Flowers Sect, and he's mine."

"Excellent!" The Yin Yang Elder's male face nodded, his eyes gleaming.

"With these two Furnace Tripods, we will surely reach Dao Foundation Perfection. Taking down that Zhou fellow won't be difficult then."

"Besides..."

"There are also all these Treasures!"

"Heh heh..."

"Hee hee..."

The two voices laughed, their cackles echoing in his ears—now near, now far; now loud, now soft—causing Zhu Ju's expression to darken.

"Demonic fiends!"

He spoke slowly.

"I've already notified fellow Daoists from the Immortal Alliance nearby. They'll be here soon. If you think you can keep us here, you're delusional."

"Is that so?" The Yin Yang Elder's female face simpered.

"Our people are nearby too. And... you don't really think this is all we're capable of, do you?"

"Go!"

She raised a hand, and a bracelet flew from it, hurtling toward Zhu Ju at an astonishing speed.

In mid-air, the bracelet bloomed with a five-colored glow. As it descended, everything suddenly seemed to grind to a halt.

The Five Elements Bracelet!

This was a rather famous type of Magical Treasure from the Joyful Sect.

It contained the Power of the Five Elements and the Five Desires Heart Demon. Not only was it proficient in both attack and defense, but it could also stir up the delusions in others' hearts.

In terms of grade,

it was only slightly inferior to the Yin Yang Dual Swords, but a cut above the individual Black Sword or White Sword.

Faced with the incoming Five Elements Bracelet, Zhu Ju wore a strange expression. He then raised a hand and released the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The Five-Colored Divine Light wasn't very effective against things of Yin and Yang, but it was the perfect counter to anything with a Five Elements attribute.

SWOOSH!

The two five-colored lights collided in mid-air.

The five-colored glow of the Five Elements Bracelet trembled slightly before being completely enveloped by Zhu Ju's Five-Colored Divine Light.

Whether in terms of grade or Divine Techniques, the Five Elements Bracelet was completely inferior to his Mutated Left Hand.

"What?"

The Yin Yang Elder cried out in alarm, his male and female voices mixing together in a tone of surprise, fear, and ecstatic joy.

"The Five-Colored Divine Light!"

"A Middle Grade Magical Treasure of the Five Elements attribute!"

Their two minds were connected, and they instantly understood what had just happened.

Something that could suppress the Five Elements Bracelet so quickly was undoubtedly a Middle Grade Magical Treasure.

"Haha..."

The Yin Yang Elder's male face laughed heartily.

"A single person possessing three Magical Treasures, one of which is even a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, and yet he's only a Mid-Stage Dao Foundation Cultivator. This is truly eye-opening."

"No matter what, we must take him down today!"

"I know," the female face giggled, her beautiful eyes releasing a Spiritual Light as she manipulated the Five Elements Bracelet to hold back the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Meanwhile, the male face controlled the Yin Yang Dual Swords, relentlessly attacking the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings and the Xu Wind Thunder Banner.

"Your methods are impressive, and we admire them. Unfortunately..."

As he attacked, the Yin Yang Elder also launched a verbal assault.

"You are merely in the Mid-Stage Dao Foundation. If you were in the Late-Stage Dao Foundation, we would have probably fled already."

"It's rare to see someone with such powerful tools who has no reputation to speak of."

"Hmph!" Zhu Ju grunted, his eyes flickering.

On one hand, he had to use his left hand to suppress the Five Elements Bracelet; on the other, he had to control the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings to fight the Yin Yang Dual Swords. Not only was he dividing his attention, but he was also consuming a vast amount of Magical Power True Essence. He surely couldn't last long.

Of course, that was just how it appeared on the surface.

In reality, controlling his left hand to cast the Five-Colored Divine Light wasn't very draining for Zhu Ju. Furthermore, his Physical Body, now with Linked Four Spirits, was continuously supplying Essence, more than enough to sustain him through a high-intensity, prolonged Combat.

"You forced my hand!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Ju's eyes flashed with a red glow. As the blood and essence in his body began to burn, his aura suddenly surged.

The Blood-Burning Curse!

As his Cultivation increased, the effects of the Blood-Burning Curse had diminished.

Back in the Early Stage Dao Foundation, when Zhu Ju used the Blood-Burning Curse, his Cultivation could even break through to the Mid-Stage Dao Foundation.

But now, although his Cultivation saw a significant boost, it was far from reaching the level of the Late-Stage Dao Foundation.

"The Blood-Burning Curse!"

As a Demonic Disciple, how could the Yin Yang Elder not recognize this Magic? Seeing this, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Looks like he's going all out."

"So what?" the female face sneered.

"It's better if he goes all out. Even if he burns his lifespan, how long can he last?"

With a low cry, she channeled the True Essence in her body, attempting to wrest back control of the Five Elements Bracelet.

For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Zhu Ju wanted to suppress the Five Elements Bracelet, which would free up his hand to use the Five-Colored Divine Light against the Yin Yang Elder.

The Yin Yang Elder naturally wouldn't let him have his way.

The female face on the back of his head wore a savage expression as she controlled the 'Five Elements Bracelet' to resist the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The male face, meanwhile, commanded the Yin Yang Dual Swords to battle the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings and the Xu Wind Thunder Banner.

CLANG CLANG CLANG...

BOOM!

The battlefield was filled with constant loud bangs and ceaseless flashes of Spiritual Light.

Gradually, even with the endless circulation of Yin Yang Qi and being in a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, the replenishment of the Yin Yang Elder's True Essence could no longer keep up with his consumption.

However, Zhu Ju's situation seemed even worse.

His eyes were bloodshot, his body trembled, and the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings were slowly being pushed back. From trading blows evenly with the Yin Yang Dual Swords at the beginning, he could now only defend a ten-zhang radius.

"Hmph!"

Noticing his own True Essence weakening, the Yin Yang Elder let out a cold snort, and the Sword Light on the field flared dramatically.

'If this drags on, I'll become weak too. I need to end this quickly, make the opponent break down.'

BANG!

BOOM...

Faced with the almost crazed assault of the Yin Yang Dual Swords, the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings let out a mournful cry and trembled violently.

Just as Zhu Ju's defense was about to collapse, he flipped his hand, and a porcelain vial appeared in his palm.

He then tilted his head back and took a gulp of the Spiritual Water from the vial.

The next moment, his spirits suddenly soared.

"What is that?"

The Yin Yang Elder was taken aback. The female face, having been watching Zhu Ju the entire time, was the first to notice something was amiss.

"It's Innate Spiritual Milk!"

"No, wait!"

"It must be diluted Innate Spiritual Milk!"

The moment Zhu Ju opened the porcelain vial, a dense wave of Spiritual Qi erupted, making it easy to guess its contents.

"Innate Spiritual Milk?"

The Yin Yang Elder's expression twisted.

"Just how many good things does he have on him?"

"But so what if he has Innate Spiritual Milk? Mid-Stage Dao Foundation is still Mid-Stage Dao Foundation..."

"Break for me!"

The Sword Light of the Yin Yang Dual Swords flared, and the Yin Yang Qi on the battlefield surged, pressing down viciously on the figure below.

CRACKLE... POP...

BOOM!

Zhu Ju's body trembled violently, and the Wind and Thunder Blade Wings contracted their defensive circle once again, stubbornly resisting the incoming attack.

"Again!" the Yin Yang Elder's female face cried out delicately.

"He can't hold on much longer!"

"Alright!"

The male face roared, his eyes bursting with brilliant light. Countless circles formed from Yin Yang Qi covered the entire field, squeezing inward with mad intensity.

BOOM!

"He's done for!"

"Almost!"
