Chapter 45: A Life Hanging by a Thread

  Looking at the limp Ye Fei on the ground, Lu Yun did not hide the killing intent in his eyes, but he was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, his fiery gaze was directed towards the huge deep pit, where a black long sword was inserted into the mud at the bottom of the pit.

  "What a treasure is this? It's absolutely not an ordinary magic tool, could it be... a magic treasure?" As soon as he said this, Lu Yun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, startled by his own words.

  To know, a magic tool is only on the basis of an ordinary object, infusing true yuan, engraving a magic array, any cultivator can manipulate it without restriction. The specific power depends on the level of the magic tool and the user's cultivation.

  The downside is that the ritual instrument itself lacks solidity, after all, it's made of ordinary materials and can't withstand the pressure of a high-ranking cultivator's magic when used. When casting spells, too much magical energy is injected, making it easy to shatter and damage the ritual instrument.

  The Fa Bao is completely different, its interior not only infuses the true yuan with extraordinary thickness, but also engraves the law array extremely intricately, which can maximize the power of the treasure. As long as the cultivation strength reaches, it can be used.

  The most important thing is that the law treasure is not forged, but refined by high-ranking cultivators with true fire of law, and the materials themselves are extremely solid. Even top-grade law instruments can hardly damage the materials, let alone the treasures after refinement.

  Therefore, the Fa Bao is suitable for use by Dacheng monks in the foundation-building period. There is no need to worry that the infusion of Fa Li will be too great and damage the treasure. Once it is deployed, its power is extremely great, splitting mountains and shattering rocks, and any magical weapon cannot withstand it.

  The downside is that it cannot be used during the Qi training period, as the internal force is weak during this period, making it difficult to control the magic treasure. Forcing its use will inevitably lead to severe backlash, and often one's own injuries are not light before the enemy is even hurt. Moreover, using a magic treasure also requires coordination with spiritual power to master its accuracy and flexibility.

  It is said that further up, there is the legendary spiritual treasure. The treasure itself has a hint of spirituality and although it cannot be used for autonomous attacks or defense, it is not something that just anyone can control at will.

  Lingbao must be refined and acknowledged as the master before use, at which point its power can be fully unleashed. Once deployed, it can shatter mountains and rivers, extinguish the sun and moon, and change the color of heaven and earth.

  However, the disadvantages are extremely obvious. If it is not refined and recognized as the master, Lingbao is difficult to drive, and sometimes the power exerted is even weaker than that of a magic treasure.

  The minimum requirement for refining treasures is that only a high-ranking cultivator in the Condensing Dan stage can achieve it, and after refinement, the treasure can be directly absorbed into the body's dantian, without the need to use a storage bag.

  Driving the spiritual treasure, refining and transforming treasures, refining and creating magical treasures, incorporating the spiritual treasure into the body. These are also signs of a high-ranking alchemist, but that's for later.

  Lu Yun grasped the black long sword in his hand, first furrowing his brow, then a hint of excitement flashing across his eyes.

  "What a heavy treasure sword, it looks like at least a magic treasure, hehe, I didn't expect that I, Lu Yun, now have such an extraordinary treasure." Lu Yun lovingly examined the black longsword, his eyes burning with excitement as he said. With Lu Yun's knowledge, he could tell at a glance that this sword was not a magic weapon.

  "It mustn't be seen by Master and the others, otherwise, who knows, those old things might force me to go." Lu Yun's face sank, with a thoughtful expression.

  Although he was also seriously injured and pale, Lu Yun's eyes still sparkled with excitement. This time, the biggest unexpected gain in Wanxiandong was probably this treasure sword. It seems that what Ye Fei got from the wall was it.

  Thinking of this, Lu Yun's mouth corner rose, and he coldly smiled in Ye Fei's direction.

  "What?" The place where Ye Fei was just now was empty, and the figure of a person appeared out of nowhere. Ye Fei had actually evaporated into thin air right before his eyes.

  "Not good, if he escapes and reports back to the master, although I won't be expelled from the sect, but killing a fellow disciple is also a serious crime. I must find him and get rid of him." Lu Yun's heart became somewhat flustered, and he wondered how Ye Fei had managed to escape under his nose.

  Turning around to look, he still didn't see any sign of Ye Fei. Lu Yun didn't hesitate and started collecting the treasures one by one. Finally, he also put away the black long sword into his storage bag.

  Ye Fei ran away and definitely wouldn't circle around to his own back, he should be fleeing forward. In that case, I can only pursue him in a straight line too.

  Lu Yun's face sank and he felt a slight sense of panic in his heart as he rushed forward to the position where Ye Fei was.

  With a whoosh, he leapt out of the way by several feet, the spiritual symbols on his legs flashing with light. He jumped again and soared high into the air, Lu Yun's eyes scanning every corner below him.

  "A" cry of despair!

  Just as Lu Yun was about to fall to the ground, a streak of blood burst forth from his forehead, and with a loud thud, he heavily crashed onto the ground, his entire body convulsing uncontrollably.

  "Xiao, Xiao Yao Valley, no shadow, poisonous needle, you can't escape..." Rubbing the transparent flying needle on his forehead, Lu Yun's face twisted in a ferocious expression, but his eyes were flashing with puzzlement, really not understanding where Ye Fei was and how he launched the attack.

  At this moment, a white figure appeared in the distance, and it was Ye Fei who had disappeared earlier.

  Lu Yun saw this scene, his eyes filled with unwillingness, struggling to lift one hand, pointing at Ye Fei: "Wan Jian Pavilion, Hidden, Hidden Symbol, how can you..." Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yun's whole body stiffened and stopped breathing.

  Until his death, Lu Yun was still somewhat confused, and even his magical powers were drained, leaving him completely powerless. How Ye Fei managed to do all this would forever remain a mystery to him.

  Ye Fei stared at all of this with a somewhat distracted expression, his face not showing any pity, his mind clear: if he didn't kill Lu Yun, he himself would undoubtedly die.

  Coming to himself, Ye Fei was indeed somewhat frightened. The other party's treasured talismans were endless, and this battle was truly a narrow escape from death. Being able to kill the opponent was also due to a bit of luck, and it was actually a fortunate coincidence.

  At the beginning, when there was no way to escape, Ye Fei reluctantly used the Youming Divine Soul Sword. Lu Yun's protective spirit light was broken, but the price he paid was not small either. Until now, he has only recovered a thread of his magic power and is still unable to move due to severe pain all over his body.

  But Ye Fei did not regret it, only by breaking open the opponent's protective spirit light could the transparent flying needle take effect. Otherwise, even if Lu Yunlin walked past himself on his way, he would be unable to dodge his sudden attack in mid-air, but relying solely on the flying needle was also impossible to break through the protective light shield.

  According to what Lu Yun said earlier, this flying needle is the Wuying Toxic Needle of Xiangyang Valley, which seems to have a great reputation. And he himself was hiding, and Lu Yun also mentioned the Concealment Symbol of Wan Jian Pavilion.

  Although he really had an invisibility charm, he didn't have the ability to activate it at that time. The previous invisibility was just his mind urging the mysterious necklace. Ye Fei didn't know if it would be successful, but when he saw Lu Yun's dazed expression, Ye Fei knew that the invisibility should have been successful.

  Thanks to Lu Yun not rushing to attack himself, but instead examining the Youming Divine Sword, Ye Fei took the opportunity to recover a bit of his magical power. However, in controlling that Shadowless Poison Needle, he still mostly relied on the power of his divine sense to urge it forward.

  "We need to recover some strength and leave this place quickly, otherwise who knows what kind of ferocious beast or other people might pass by here. In our current state, that would be extremely dangerous." After finishing speaking, Ye Fei glanced at Lu Yun's corpse, but a hint of helplessness flashed across his face. Right now, he didn't even have the ability to retrieve Lu Yun's storage bag, and the You Ming Divine Soul Sword was still in the other person's hand. (End of chapter)
