Chapter 172 The Flame of Exorcism
In the dark canyon.
Li Ping and his companion waited patiently, and that wait lasted a full year.
Throughout the year, having stayed in a place without spiritual veins, cultivation was naturally out of the question.
Drawing talismans consumes a lot of magical power, and once Yan Liming leaves, there will be no time to recover, so Li Ping did not choose to draw talismans.
In fact, he spent most of that year refining elixirs.
More than ten years ago, he began collecting the spiritual herbs needed to refine the second-grade mid-level pill, "Juyuan Pill".
However, he was busy cultivating at the time and didn't have time to refine pills, so these spiritual herbs were always kept in his storage bag.
Now that he has broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, if he wants to cultivate the "Water Nourishing Life Technique" and break through to the late-Foundation Establishment stage, he must absorb enough "Innate Spiritual Energy" from second-grade mid-level pills.
Now that we're safe in this canyon, it's a good time to start refining pills.
As for Yan Hengchuan, he was very concerned about Yan Liming's movements, so he used a secret technique to silently sense Yan Liming's location changes at all times.
To his dismay, Yan Liming seemed to have become addicted to staying in the Blackwater tribe and showed no intention of leaving, which made him increasingly restless.
Fortunately, this day came just when he was about to lose his temper.
Suddenly, he sensed that Yan Liming's aura had changed location; Yan Liming had left the Blackwater Tribe.
Sensing this, Yan Hengchuan hurriedly shouted into the blood mist, "Grandmaster, that old demon Yan Liming has made a move."
"Oh?" A surprised voice came from the blood mist.
Then, with a whoosh, the blood mist dissipated, revealing Li Ping's figure: "He moved, so we can set off now."
next moment--
"Whoosh!"
The flying boat, shrouded in a cloak of night, rose into the sky. After briefly determining its direction, Li Ping activated his divine sense, and the flying boat beneath his feet shot out, flying towards the direction Yan Hengchuan had sensed.
Yan Liming's flying speed was not fast; after only a few moments, Yan Hengchuan reminded him that Yan Liming was about ten miles ahead.
Li Ping estimated the distance between this place and the Blackwater Tribe, silently controlled the flying boat to slow down, and followed Yan Liming at a leisurely pace, flying together towards the Liang Kingdom.
Liang Kingdom is located to the east of Yan Kingdom. Entering the Western Wilderness from here will allow for a faster return to the territory occupied by the four major demonic sects.
Li Ping guessed that Yan Liming was planning to return to the Blood Shadow Cult.
However, he did not intend to take action immediately, because this place was very close to the Blackwater Tribe, and once a fight broke out, the noise of the battle might attract the Core Formation cultivators of the Blackwater Tribe.
Since Yan Hengchuan could locate him at any time, he wasn't worried about losing him. Therefore, waiting until they were far away from the Blackwater Tribe before making a move was clearly a better option.
About half a day later.
Li Ping estimated that they were now more than a thousand miles away from the Blackwater Tribe. At this distance, even a Core Formation cultivator would not be able to sense the fluctuations of a battle.
We can get started now.
Whoosh!
The flying boat beneath his feet suddenly accelerated, and when it was only a few miles away from Yan Liming, Li Ping calmly instructed, "The battle later may be dangerous. Hengchuan, wait for me here. You are in charge of the flying boat for now."
"Yes, Grandmaster!" Yan Hengchuan nodded in agreement.
At the same time, he also pointed out Yan Liming's location to Li Ping.
Li Ping nodded, and a small blood-red banner appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, a cloud of blood enveloped him.
next moment--
The blood cloud rose directly into the sky, shooting towards the direction Yan Hengchuan pointed at with terrifying speed, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, Yan Hengchuan was secretly astonished. At the same time, he was also curious about where his master, who was not a demonic cultivator, had obtained this menacing demonic artifact.
……
In the sky, a figure was flying at a leisurely pace.
This figure was He Yunyi, or rather, Yan Liming.
As he flew, Yan Liming seemed lost in thought. This trip to the grasslands lasted two years, during which he met with the leaders of several large Turkic tribes.
After a thorough explanation of the sect's strengths, he successfully completed the sect's mission and made a great contribution.
Although at his age, he will never be able to regain the Core Formation cultivation level in this lifetime, he can leave this credit to his descendants.
"It's a pity that Kun'er died so mysteriously. Otherwise, with his talent, how difficult would it have been for him to form his core?" Yan Liming thought of this and couldn't help but show a resentful expression.
He rushed to Xiancheng precisely to investigate Yan Kun's death.
However, he inadvertently fell into Bai Yurong and Yan Changqiu's trap and almost lost his life there.
After possessing a body and establishing his foundation, he returned to the sect and used his connections to investigate Yan Kun and Miao Rou.
Yan Kun seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Miao Rou was abducted by her eldest disciple Liu Wusheng in Jixia and they went to Fenglan Immortal City together. In the end, she also disappeared without a trace, and it is suspected that she has perished.
"Fenglan Immortal City..." Yan Liming silently murmured the name in his heart.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw a cloud of blood shooting toward him at a terrifying speed less than a mile away.
Judging from the other party's aggressive demeanor, it was clear that they were coming for him, and with ill intentions.
Yan Liming was a Core Formation cultivator who had undergone a rebirth. His divine sense was still that of a Core Formation cultivator. As his divine sense spread out, he easily saw the person hiding in the blood cloud.
The cultivator inside the blood cloud was a burly man with a face full of scars, whose cultivation level had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
However, Yan Liming was completely unfamiliar with this person and did not know him.
"This?" Yan Liming was completely bewildered, but he didn't have time to think about it any further.
Because his opponent is much faster than him, he fears he will be overtaken in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
"roar!"
Upon realizing this, Yan Liming immediately let out a long howl, and a thick blood mist emanated from his body, instantly covering an area of dozens of feet.
At the same time, he also transmitted his voice without any politeness: "I am a cultivator from the Blood Shadow Sect. Who are you, fellow cultivator? Don't misunderstand me."
In Yan Liming's view, the cultivator who had come after him was clearly a demonic cultivator, both in terms of his attire and the magical artifacts he used.
If we can establish a relationship with them through the Blood Shadow Cult, or even scare them away, we can save ourselves from a major battle.
After all, while he wasn't afraid of magical duels, he naturally wanted to avoid unnecessary battles that would waste his magical power.
However, the cultivator in the blood cloud completely ignored him and instead manipulated his magic weapon to crash into the blood mist formed by his magic.
Upon seeing this, Yan Liming was slightly taken aback, then revealed a cruel intent without any attempt to hide it: "Dare to trespass into my Blood Sea Domain, then you can taste the flavor of Blood Spirit Particles."
Instantly, the surrounding blood mist began to churn and surge violently, and blood spirits of various shapes crawled out of the blood mist, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Li Ping.
"Hmph!" Li Ping snorted coldly and patted his storage bag.
A purple sword shadow flew out from his storage bag, leaping and slashing rapidly like an elf, forming an impenetrable sword net that shredded all the attacking Blood Spirit Particles into blood mist and dissipated.
Seeing Li Ping's actions, Yan Liming sneered, "My Blood Spirit Seed is not a physical entity, but is condensed from blood mist. It can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Fellow Daoist, you'd better retreat obediently to avoid suffering."
Sure enough, the next moment, after Li Ping killed those Blood Spirits, they continued to condense from within the Blood Sea Domain and rushed towards Li Ping, seemingly intending to wear him down.
But Li Ping just smiled dismissively when he heard Yan Liming's words.
He had also read the "Blood Spirit Hundred Transformations True Scripture," and Yan Hengchuan even practiced this skill. How could he not understand the techniques and supernatural powers within it?
The sea of blood will never perish, and the spirit of blood will never die!
Despite its seemingly formidable power, this sea of blood was entirely formed from Yan Liming's magical power. Li Ping's killing of Xue Lingzi was actually a way of consuming Yan Liming's magical power.
Once his mana was depleted, Yan Liming had no choice but to obediently put away the Blood Sea Domain.
However, Li Ping didn't have time to waste with him like that, and he patted the storage bag at his waist again.
"Hey!"
Accompanied by a clear cry, a line of fire flew out from his storage bag, circling Li Ping at a terrifying speed. Wherever it passed, the blood mist released by Yan Liming was burned to nothing by the high temperature.
Finally, the fire stopped beside Li Ping, revealing the appearance of a divine and agile bird.
"call!"
The spirit bird slightly opened its beak, and scorching flames shot out from it, instantly igniting the Blood Sea Domain. The flames swelled in the wind, seemingly intent on burning Yan Liming's self-satisfied domain to ashes.
"Oh no!" Yan Liming exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.
He hurriedly cut off the burned part of the domain and condensed the remaining blood mist back into magic power in one breath, then returned it to his body.
After doing all this, he looked at the man and the bird not far away with a wary expression.
Then they saw the divine bird swallow the flames it had spewed out in one gulp, and even let out a burp.
The Wildfire Sparrow easily broke through Yan Liming's Blood Sea Domain, which greatly pleased Li Ping.
The Vermilion Bird is one of the four spirits of heaven and earth.
The accompanying Southern Bright Fire is incredibly powerful, capable of burning anything, and is especially effective against demons, ghosts, and spirits. It is particularly effective at breaking all demonic arts and evil spells, making it a true nemesis of evil spirits.
The spiritual fire nurtured within the Wildfire Sparrow was certainly not as terrifying as the Southern Bright Fire, but dealing with the Blood Sea Domain released by Yan Liming, a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator, was still a piece of cake.
With the Wildfire Sparrow in hand, he might be able to become like Xiao Yunzhi, specializing in killing demonic cultivators.
"Your spirit beast broke through my Blood Sea Domain; I admire your possession of such a powerful spirit beast." Yan Liming stabilized his breathing, his gaze turning sinister as he stared at Li Ping. "I advise you to retreat now, otherwise… hmph!"
The scarred cultivator in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. Yan Liming did not want to fight him to the bitter end, but if the other party remained obstinate...
He had no choice but to use his trump card to kill him.
Of course, it would be best to persuade him to back down; his trump card was hard-won and shouldn't be used in this way.
But when he looked up, he saw the scarred cultivator's expression turn strange: "Hehehe... After fighting for so long, don't you feel anything is wrong? I've added quite a bit of stuff to your Blood Sea Domain."
Upon hearing this, Yan Liming's expression changed drastically.
