Looking at each other, Shen Jing said, “Senior Brother Yang, I will open the Divination Mirror now. Please be sure to stop him from escaping.”

Yang Yu Zang nonchalantly nodded, the Chi-Dragon Sword in his hand suddenly emitted a powerful dragon roar. The Chi-Dragons on the blade's surface raised their heads and glared defiantly at the sky, their roars echoing like thunder.

Shen Jing took a deep breath, waved her hand lightly, and the top bronze mirror broke through the air, falling into her palm. Shen Jing held the mirror up to the mirror array and shouted softly, "Collect!"

'... whoosh whoosh...'

All the bronze mirrors flew back at once, stacking on top of each other until they merged into a single whole.

The mist, once held in check by the mirror formation, suddenly collapsed. The dense fog, like water brought to a boil, exploded instantaneously. It churned and surged, revealing a monstrous wave within which seemed to be sealed an evil dragon, poised to break free.

"Wow!"

The biting wind, like a blade, cleaved through the veil of black mist. A pale blue chill wrapped in countless icicles surged forward, followed by more that shredded the darkness to pieces. They threatened to blot out the sun, possessing an aura of sheer power capable of tearing apart everything within the valley.

Shen Jing instantly changed color, exclaiming: "Senior Brother Yang, hurry and do something!"

Yang Yuan Zang's eyes narrowed slightly, he suddenly stomped on the ground, his figure exploded into the air. The Chi Long sword in his hand effortlessly broke through the ice shards blocking his way. The cold air on the sword gathered into an even larger ice sword, shimmering with cold light and imposingly overwhelming, unmatched.

Just as Yang Yuanshang was about to wield his sword and cleave through the heart of the icy air, he suddenly felt a shift in his heart. Glancing towards the other side of the valley, he saw a figure fleeing blindly outward from within the cover of the ice ridge, without looking back.

Yang Yu Zang sheathed the dragon-shaped sword in his hand, let out a cold snort, and suddenly a gust of wind erupted beneath his feet, his speed surged, his figure flashed and disappeared, instantly appearing behind that figure, without hesitation, he swung his sword down.

Just as Qin Sang was about to be cut in half by the Chi Long Sword, Yang Yuanzang's lips just curled into a smile when he heard Shen Jing shout from behind: "Yang Shixiong, be careful!"

At the moment Yang Yuanzhang chased after him, a black ray shot out from the center of the cold air.

In the light of the lamp, a small flying sword appeared!

The flying sword's speed was astonishing. By the time Shen Jing discovered it, it was already too late to come to the rescue.

Yang Yuan Zang's heart skipped a beat. He felt a sharp, dangerous presence behind him. He suddenly twisted his upper body and saw a black flying sword heading straight for his chest, almost within reach.

Yang Yu-zang shouted, veins bulging on his arm, as he forcefully pulled back the Chi-Lung Sword that was about to be swung out, holding it horizontally in front of his chest.

At the crucial moment, although the Chi Long Sword managed to barely block the attack of the Ebony Sword, it was worn out from overuse and got struck by the Ebony Sword. It flew out of his hand and slammed into Yang Yu Zang before falling to the ground.

With a muffled grunt, Yang Yu Zang only felt a terrifyingly powerful force strike him. His body bent like a shrimp and was flung through the air like a piece of torn cloth, crashing into a large rock.

The ebony sword continued its relentless advance, pausing briefly in mid-air before relentlessly pursuing its target.

Yang Yuancang's face was pale with horror. In his haste, he could only raise his body a few inches with the help of an unseen wind.

'Whoosh!'

The ebony sword was incredibly sharp, piercing directly through Yang Yuan Zang's abdomen before a bloody seep emerged from the wound.

Yang Yuanzan was in excruciating pain, letting out a heart-wrenching scream. Just then, Shen Jing's figure flashed before his eyes, a look of intense hope in her gaze.

"Save me..."

But unexpectedly, Shen Jing smiled sweetly at Yang Yu Zang and suddenly raised her hand, thrusting it straight into Yang Yu Zang's abdomen. Blood splattered all over Shen Jing, and when she pulled it out, her blood-soaked hand was clutching a wisp of grayish smoke.

Then, the ebony sword, reversed and whirling, pierced Yang Yu Zang's back of the head.

Yang Yuan Zang's face was pale with terror and disbelief. He collapsed to the ground, completely silent.

Shen Jing's palm shot out, seizing Yang Yu Zang's pouch. Beneath her feet, a gust of wind and smoke erupted, as she swiftly retreated. It seemed that she had transformed Yang Yu Zang's ethereal essence into nothingness.

Shen Jing's figure instantly darted out tens of meters, charging to the mouth of the valley. She looked at the Ebony Sword with caution, a golden ring flying from her wrist and covering her head.

“Qin Shidi, how about we stop here” Shen Jing shouted towards the center of the valley.

‘Whew…

The cold wind in the valley gradually dissipated, revealing Qin Sang's figure.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands clutching two spirit stones, his face ashen. He stared at Shen Jing with a raspy voice, "Senior Sister Shen, you're truly skilled! Senior Brother Zhao probably died with regret."

Qin Sang also didn't expect Shen Jing to be so ruthless, killing her ally without hesitation and seizing the inheritance. Qin Sang couldn't even stop it in time.

Now that Yang Yu Zang's wind smoke artifact is in Shen Jing's hands, if she really wants to escape, it will be difficult to keep her.

Moreover, after just controlling the Ebony Sword and maneuvering with it, Qin Sang's internal reserves of spiritual energy had nearly been exhausted. He had no choice but to replace two new spirit stones.

If you pursue too far, both spirit power and divine sense will be difficult to sustain.

“I was only trying to survive, not as well hidden as Junior Brother Qin! I warned Senior Brother Yang long ago not to underestimate you, but he was so arrogant, and this is what he deserves. However, I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qin actually had such a powerful flying sword, could it be a magical treasure”

Shen Jing gazed at the ebony sword, a flicker of alarm in her eyes.

Qin Sang's eyes flashed. When Yue Wu was lecturing, he had once heard fellow disciples mention the name Fu Bao.

It is said that Fu Bao is a talisman containing part of the power of a magic treasure, which can only be refined by cultivators above the Jindan stage who consume their own natal magic treasures for their descendants' self-defense. Even in the hands of Qi Refining period cultivators, it can exert power slightly stronger than that of a top-grade magic weapon.

Qin Sang had no elders who had formed their core, nor the wealth to buy talismans. He had never seen what a talisman looked like.

Shen Jing misunderstood that Wumu Jian was a magic treasure. Qin Sang wouldn't explain more, and said in a low voice, "Since Senior Sister Shen wants to turn hostility into jade, why not leave"

Shen Jing smiled seductively, "Qin, younger brother, haven't you forgotten our previous agreement"

Qin Sang glanced at Yang Yuan Zang's corpse and snorted, "I don't want to end up like Senior Brother Yang!"

Shen Jing's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was pitiful: "Junior Brother Qin misunderstood Senior Sister. Senior Sister has always guarded herself like a jade, but she was forced by that Yang..."

That's enough!

Qin Sang interrupted coldly, "Sister and Senior Brother Yang's words just now, I heard them clearly in the formation. There is no need to put on a show in front of me."

“It seems Qin Shidi's double-winged artifact can indeed withstand the bewildering effect of the Mirror of Deception.”

The bitterness on Shen Jing's face vanished instantly, and she feigned confusion: "Now that we both know each other's true intentions, why can't we continue cooperating I don't have anything on me that could threaten you, Junior Brother. What are you afraid of With the three of us combining our jade tokens, we already have nine. If we grab one more, we can gather all ten and find the entrance to the core area. At that time, we only need to ambush one person at the entrance, and then you and I can join Yuan Zhao Men together. This would save us so much time. Wouldn't it be delightful"

ps1: Fu Bao's setting is also inspired by mortals. I don't know if mortals invented it first because my reading volume is limited, and I'm not too sure. If you know, please tell me.

ps2: Thanks to the book friend 160723112424030 for the reward, it's my first time receiving a reward. It feels amazing and kind of surreal. I'll cherish this moment.ith grasses whispering softly.
