Yan Liming lived for over four hundred years.
Having cultivated to the Core Formation stage as a demonic cultivator, one's combat experience is naturally incredibly rich.
As soon as Li Ping approached, he cast a spell to create a protective shield around himself.
With a magical shield protecting them, methods such as poisoning or sneak attacks are unlikely to be effective.
To his surprise, Li Ping had mixed the poison into the Blood Sea Domain he had released.
Moreover, after administering the poison, Li Ping summoned the Wildfire Sparrow to spew high-temperature flames, making it seem as if he was determined to burn Yan Liming's Blood Sea Domain to ashes.
This made Yan Liming extremely nervous.
Worried, he didn't have time to examine it carefully before withdrawing all the magic power he had carefully condensed into his body.
As a result, he contracted the virus.
……
After Li Ping finished his mocking remarks, Yan Liming hurriedly mobilized his internal magical power.
But in that instant, he felt that the magical power he had once controlled so easily was now as heavy as a thousand pounds and completely disobeyed his commands.
Moreover, as the magic flowed through him, his body gradually became numb.
"Despicable and shameless, they actually poisoned me!" Yan Liming cursed.
As he cursed, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and a black bead appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Li Ping retreated hastily, simultaneously manipulating the Purple Shadow Sword into a streak of purple light that swept towards Yan Liming, clearly intending to kill him outright.
Of course, in order for Yan Hengchuan to cultivate the technique of seizing the foundation, he had to capture him alive.
He seems to want to kill Yan Liming now, but it's just a feint to force him to reveal his true colors.
He hadn't forgotten how he had disguised himself as Master Hu, the demonic cultivator.
As a Core Formation cultivator who had undergone a body-snatching and reconstruction, Li Ping dared not be careless now that Yan Liming had suddenly produced a black bead.
He had even prepared for the loss of the Purple Shadow Sword.
Seeing the Purple Shadow Sword hurtling towards him, the scarred demonic cultivator retreated rapidly instead. Without hesitation, Yan Liming threw out the black bead.
He then took out several pills and swallowed them all, regardless of whether they were useful or not.
After doing all this, he retreated rapidly.
next moment--
The black bead clashed with the purple shadow sword.
boom!
A deafening explosion rang out.
A ball of black flame, about ten feet in size, suddenly rose up and engulfed the Purple Shadow Sword.
"Hehe... Your magical artifact was destroyed, and the divine consciousness attached to it was blasted into nothingness. You must be feeling terrible too!" Yan Liming suppressed the poison in his body and tried to leave the battlefield first.
But just then, he saw a faint line of blood moving through the void, bypassing the location of the explosion and appearing in front of him.
Before he could react further, he felt his waist empty. In that short moment, the other party had taken his storage bag.
"Our sect's Bloodwing Escape Technique, oh no!" Yan Liming exclaimed in alarm.
The next moment, a large hand, like an iron clamp, grabbed his neck, squeezing tighter and tighter until he lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
……
Half a day later, a desolate mountain range of bluestone.
The black flying boat stopped there, and a purple-gold fork flew out, instantly carving out a small cave halfway up the mountain.
Li Ping then instructed the person behind him, "Hengchuan, the technique of seizing foundations is an evil art and should not be used in righteous territory. This grassland is deserted, so you can perform the technique here!"
"Yes, Grandmaster!" Yan Hengchuan glanced at the figure lying motionless on the flying boat, which was under numerous restrictions, and replied excitedly.
Li Ping stowed the flying boat, grabbed Yan Liming, and the two flew together into the simple cave below.
Li Ping nodded slightly.
The method of seizing the foundation is different from the orthodox foundation building. It does not require a spiritual environment and can be performed even in this desolate wilderness without spiritual energy.
After putting Yan Liming down, Li Ping first set up the array he had bought around the cave before returning to the cave.
He smiled and instructed, "Yokokawa, now use the technique to seize the foundation."
As he spoke, he waved the blood-red banner, and an invisible wave swept across Yan Liming's body, retracting all the 'blood-corroding poison' he had released.
With Li Ping's permission, Yan Hengchuan quickly stepped forward and used his magic to straighten Yan Liming's body.
His actions finally woke Yan Liming up. He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "It's you, Yan, you're still alive."
Yan Hengchuan looked up at him, his eyes filled with the triumphant satisfaction of revenge: "That's right, it was me. Not only am I alive, but I'm thriving, and I'll be even better off in the future!"
"You have clearly been turned into a blood puppet by me... No, that's not right, the aura on your body!" Yan Liming realized that the magical aura emanating from Yan Hengchuan was exactly the same as his own, and he couldn't help but show a look of disbelief.
Yan Hengchuan laughed heartily: "Speaking of which, I should thank you for injecting the Blood Puppet Seed into me. Otherwise, how could I have cultivated the Foundation Seizing Method through this seed? Today is the day you use your own Dao Foundation to help me succeed, hahaha..."
"Impossible, impossible... How could you possibly obtain the Blood Spirit Hundred Transformations True Scripture?" Yan Liming's face was ashen, completely disbelieving what he was witnessing.
He knew very well that if it weren't for the sensing of the Foundation Seizure Technique, how could the other party have so easily controlled his whereabouts in such a vast place as the Western Wilderness?
In other words, the consequences he faces today are entirely his own retribution.
If I had just killed Yan the boy with one palm strike back then, none of this would have happened.
Yan Liming couldn't understand it.
He just wanted to casually create a blood puppet, so how did he inexplicably end up losing his life?
Where did the other party obtain the "Blood Spirit Hundred Transformations True Scripture" from?
Seeing Yan Liming's distraught appearance, Yan Hengchuan's eyes revealed a look of pleasure. He laughed and said, "The Blood Spirit Hundred Transformations True Scripture is the work of our grandmaster..."
"Alright, alright," Li Ping interrupted him directly, "Stop talking nonsense, quickly use the secret technique to seize his Dao foundation."
Doesn't this kid know that villains die from talking too much?
They're still having this back-and-forth conversation with Yan Liming, not even looking at the current situation. Do they think they're conducting a personal interview here?
A devil like Yan Liming should just be left as a muddle-headed fool; there's no point in explaining anything.
Hearing Li Ping's reprimand, Yan Hengchuan shrank back and quickly said, "Yes, Grandmaster, I understand."
"Grandmaster?" Yan Liming gave a bitter laugh, his voice filled with despair: "It seems my storage bag has fallen into your hands. The cultivation technique that Yan boy practices must have come from my storage bag."
Yan Hengchuan wanted to say more, but when he thought of his master's reprimand, he dared not utter a sound and silently began to use the Foundation-Seizing Secret Technique.
As he performed the secret technique, he felt a surge of excitement.
Once he successfully seizes Yan Liming's Dao Foundation, he can also become a Foundation Establishment cultivator like his grandmaster.
……
Seeing Yan Hengchuan using the method of seizing the foundation, Li Ping placed several more restrictions on Yan Liming, and another burst of magic power struck his head, causing him to faint again.
Yan Liming, this old demon, as a Core Formation True Person who has rebuilt his cultivation, possesses methods and trump cards that are far beyond those of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Not long ago, he captured him seemingly easily.
In reality, that was due to the advantage of knowing the other party's methods in advance.
For example, if others are unfamiliar with the "Blood Spirit Hundred Transformations True Scripture" that Yan Liming cultivates, they will inevitably suffer a great loss due to its various spells and supernatural powers.
However, Li Ping had read this top-level cultivation technique beforehand, and Yan Hengchuan, who also practiced this technique, was by his side.
Therefore, he not only easily broke through the opponent's magic and supernatural powers, but also took the opportunity to set a trap for the opponent.
If he hadn't used this to poison Yan Liming, causing his condition to deteriorate significantly, he might have been able to kill him, but he might not have been able to capture him alive.
The black bead that Yan Liming casually threw out blasted the Purple Shadow Sword, a second-tier high-grade flying sword, into nothingness.
If Li Ping hadn't possessed a powerful divine sense, once the Purple Shadow Sword, imbued with his divine sense, was destroyed and his divine sense scattered, he would have suffered a splitting headache and been seriously injured, potentially allowing Yan Liming to escape.
Who would dare say they only own one item like this?
So, taking advantage of the moment when the Purple Shadow Sword was destroyed, Yan Liming breathed a sigh of relief.
Without hesitation, Li Ping used the Bloodwing Escape Technique to first seize Yan Liming's storage bag, and then capture him alive.
Of course, the reason Yan Liming suffered this calamity was because...
The most important reason is that Yan Hengchuan practiced the method of seizing the foundation, which allows him to sense his physical form at all times.
He was in the open, while Li Ping was in the shadows.
They secretly followed him, waiting for him to tire himself out, and then captured him in one fell swoop.
This made Li Ping sigh: cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable.
Yan Liming used the "Blood Puppet Technique" in an attempt to turn Yan Hengchuan into a blood puppet.
After Yan Hengchuan escaped, he successfully cultivated the method of seizing the foundation by relying on the blood puppet seed left by Yan Liming in his body.
As a result, Yan Liming not only failed to obtain a blood puppet, but was also captured alive. He is about to use his own hard work to help Yan Hengchuan achieve Foundation Establishment.
If he hadn't acted so recklessly, he could have just slapped Yan Hengchuan to death, and nothing would have happened.
This also secretly alarmed Li Ping: he must be extremely careful to protect his blood, hair, etc., and not let them fall into the hands of anyone.
The world of cultivation is full of extraordinary people and strange individuals.
Every day, every moment, countless harmful methods are being researched and developed.
To live a long life in the world of cultivation and attain immortality.
Having great strength is one thing, but being cautious and cunning is also essential.
……
While Li Ping was pondering, Yan Hengchuan had already straightened Yan Liming's body and begun to use the Foundation-Seizing Secret Technique.
As he moved, a bloody smell immediately filled the cave.
As he unleashed his power, a hideous blood shadow flew out of his body and pounced directly into Yan Liming's body.
Yan Liming's expression instantly turned to one of pain and struggle, as if he were enduring the cruelest punishment in the world.
Li Ping watched all of this unfold with unwavering focus.
If anything goes wrong, he can directly intervene.
Li Ping watched all of this unfold with unwavering focus.
If anything goes wrong, he can directly intervene.
At the same time, after Yan Hengchuan's secret technique for seizing the foundation is completed, he also needs to extract Yan Liming's soul and interrogate him about his purpose in coming to the grassland.
Moreover, Yan Liming's soul is at the third level.
He can be used as nourishment to pass on the third-tier puppet technique.
