Chapter Nineteenth: First Duel

  The Taoist robe man saw Ning Yan being so stubborn, extremely displeased, but the boundary was there, and he wasn't afraid of Tang Hao and the others running away. The Taoist robe man clasped his hands together, a vast and powerful spiritual energy poured down on the three, forming a spiritual energy field that surrounded them, Tang Hao and Yun Xi were suppressed to the point of being unable to move.

  Ning Yan saw the situation, gritted her teeth, and a water sword stabbed towards the Taoist robe man. Although Ning Yan's boundary was far behind that of the Taoist robe man, she gathered her spiritual energy into one point, constantly advancing forward in the Taoist robe man's spiritual energy field, striking directly at his brow.

  The Taoist robe man was greatly shocked and lost his color, recalling his spiritual power. In the midst of panic, his head slightly leaned to the right, and with the spiritual field slowing down the speed of the water sword, the Taoist robe man only had a shallow wound on his face, but nothing serious happened.

  Ning Yan sighed helplessly, "Indeed, the difference in cultivation is still too great." She knew that the Taoist robe man had just been too careless and almost fell for her trick. This opportunity was missed, and it would be even harder to kill him in the future.

  Tang Hao watched anxiously from the side, although he was in the third layer of Qi Refining, with spiritual power equal to that of the fourth layer, but compared to this Daoist robe man, it was completely inadequate. Moreover, he didn't know any divine techniques or spells, so if he rashly launched an attack, he might not be able to help much and would only add chaos for Ning Xuan.

  The Taoist priest walked out of the Ghost Gate, calmed down his emotions, and said fiercely: "I didn't expect you to have two brushes, but from now on, you won't be so lucky." After finishing speaking, he pinched his right hand, and a treasure sword with green light flew out of the sword sheath behind him.

  Although the Xiu Zhen realm cultivates the power of the five elements, not all techniques are necessarily five-element techniques. Just like sword cultivation, although they absorb the same five-element spiritual energy, there is no requirement for the spiritual root attribute, so sword cultivation techniques are equivalent to universal techniques. Although sword cultivation has no restrictions on spiritual root attributes, different spiritual root attributes will still give rise to different types of sword cultivation. The flying sword of this Taoist man was emitting a green glow, clearly indicating that he had a wood-attribute spiritual root.

  This flying sword carries the spiritual power of wood attributes. If you accidentally get stabbed, the wound will rot immediately, and it will be difficult to heal afterwards. Without the help of other spiritual elixirs, it can be said that this life is ruined.

  Ning Yan and Yun Xi's realm had fallen, but their physical bodies were still there. Ning Yan hadn't cultivated her physical body much, but as a water-attribute spiritual root holder, her body's flexibility was astonishing, and she could easily dodge the flying sword by changing her posture; Yun Xi was a gold-attribute spiritual root holder, his speed was unmatched, and he could also dodge the immortal sword by constantly jumping.

  Tang Hao, however, was having a hard time. Although his current body's coordination was extremely high, after all, it was a woman's body, and Tang Hao hadn't fully adapted yet. Adding to that, the speed of the immortal sword wasn't weak at all, making Tang Hao look utterly disheveled.

  The Taoist priest's face was also not looking good, as before when he fought with others, they would use their most skilled divine arts to counter his immortal sword, and then determine the winner through the strength of their divine arts and spiritual power. But he didn't expect that these three people only knew how to dodge, no matter how he wielded his immortal sword, they dodged it all.

  The Taoist robe man suddenly delighted, he found the weakest Tang Hao inside, and since he also saw Tang Hao's position among the three people, he put his main target on Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao was already somewhat unsteady, and having become the focus of attention, he inadvertently twisted his wrist, just as the flying sword was heading straight for Tang Hao's door.

  Yun Xi saw the situation and secretly called out that it was bad, biting her silver tooth, she jumped up and grabbed Tang Huang's hand, pulling him back.

  Ning Yan also sent out a mist of water, embracing the flying sword, and the speed of the flying sword slowed down slightly.

  Tang Huo retreated in the same direction as the flying sword, but his speed was a bit slower. He could see that the flying sword was about to pierce him. At this moment, Tang Huo had no other choice and thought that since the man in the Daoist robe was so lustful, he might as well try to use it to his advantage.

  "The Art of Seduction." Tang Hao's clothes suddenly disappeared, revealing his slender and fair body. The Taoist robe man had lived for so long, what kind of scene hadn't he seen, how could he be bewildered by Tang Hao, but after all, he was stunned for a moment, the flying sword also slowed down a bit, Yun Xi saw that there was a slight gap, and quickly pulled Tang Hao away from his original trajectory, the immortal sword also brushed past Tang Hao's ear, cutting off a strand of hair.

  Ning Yan suddenly thought of something and said to herself: "After being with you for so long, I even forgot my own special skill."

  After finishing speaking, she smiled slightly, and her entire body emitted a pink glow. Tang Hao saw this and couldn't help but become somewhat dazed. No mistake, Ning Yan had used her charm technique.

  Although Tang Hao also used his charm technique to make those seven people kill each other, in fact, the way of fighting for cultivators is very difficult to achieve this, let alone when facing an enemy with a higher boundary than oneself.

  When using charm techniques during a duel, it's not to control the opponent's mind, but to stun them for a moment. The higher the level of competition, the more this brief moment can play a huge role.

  The Taoist priest knew it was a seductive technique, but he still fell for it and stood there stunned, unable to move. The flying sword also lost control and fell to the ground.

  Ning Yan was overjoyed, using her Water Spirit power to protect herself, and with her right hand she stabbed directly at the Daoist robe man's carotid artery. The Daoist robe man finally came back to his senses, but Ning Yan's charm had not yet been lifted, and he knew that as long as he could still see Ning Yan, he would fall under her spell again.

  The Taoist man closed his eyes, his right hand formed a seal, and an invisible shield appeared in front of him, blocking Ningyan. His left hand struck out, violently repelling Ningyan.

  Ning Yan took a few steps back and stopped, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

  The Taoist robe man coldly smiled and said: "Very good, you've done very well. I've changed my mind. I'll take all of you as my furnace tripods. Otherwise, I won't be able to vent this breath." After finishing speaking, he took out a square handkerchief to cover his eyes, using his divine sense to fight with Ning Yan.

  Ning Yan gritted her teeth and said: "Yun Xue, my body is too weak. Our techniques are originally from the same source, only with different attributes. I'll borrow your body for a moment."

  In the Xiu Zhen realm, a special cultivation method is used, which is a set of five different attribute techniques. This was originally for people with Five Elements spiritual roots to cultivate, but those with single spiritual roots can also practice one of them. If two people cultivate different attributes of this technique, they can use the fusion technique. If five people fuse together, they can temporarily transform into a Five Elements spiritual root, making it difficult for anyone of the same rank to be their match.

  It's just that after all, it's not a congenital five-element spiritual root, and forcibly merging with the dominant person's spiritual power consumes a lot of energy, and the duration won't be too long. Ning Yan estimated that she had taken advantage of Yun Xue's quick and powerful physique, wanting to give the man a fatal blow.

  Yun Xi hesitated and said: "But with your current magical powers, forcibly merging might be fatal."

  "It's better than dying here."

  Yun Xi nodded slightly and opened up her chest. Ning Yan rushed towards Yun Xi's body and entered it.

  Yun Xi suddenly opened her eyes, but it was no longer the playful and lovely expression, instead, there was a hint of coquetry. Yun Xi tweaked her own hair, saying in a charming tone: "This little girl's body is actually not bad, I'm really going to miss it when we part ways."

  Tang Hao shouted: "Stop playing around, think of a way to get rid of him quickly." Yun Xi coquettishly said to Tang Hao: "You say how it is, who made you my man?"

  Tang Hao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the Daoist robe man inexplicably said: "Man? I can no longer see you now, no matter what tricks you use, they're all useless."

  Yun Xi's face also showed a solemn expression, without making any rash moves, but just quietly observing the changes. Tang Hao suddenly had an idea, his hands formed a seal, and it was actually Shadow Clone.

  Tang Hao used up his spiritual power and surprisingly only had ten clones, but it was enough. The clones all rushed forward to cover Ning Yuan and Yun Xi.

  Ning Yan also understood and mixed into the clone, rushing up, then using her magic to add a water spirit force shield on one of the clones.

  The Taoist priest is currently in the foundation-building period of his cultivation. Although his divine sense can encompass a large range, he still lacks a bit of control over the details of the area. He can determine the enemy's movements and numbers, but he is still a bit off when it comes to identifying their identities.

  But the man calmly and slowly eliminated Tang Hao's clones one by one, then suddenly launched a fatal attack on someone, stabbing his sword into her chest. He followed with a cold laugh, "Although I can't see your appearance, I can still distinguish between strong and weak spiritual powers."

  Tang Hao smiled because the man had killed a shadow clone protected by spiritual power, while Ning Yan had suppressed her own magical powers and mixed in with the other clones.

  The shadow clone that was stabbed by the Taoist robe man suddenly dissipated, and the Taoist robe man secretly cried out in alarm. But before he could make his next move, Yun Xi's fingers had already inserted into his brow chakra.
