Seeing this, Zhao Sheng remained expressionless, his hands trembling, and eight three-foot-long, crystal-clear ice swords suddenly took shape.
These ice swords swirled around his body, soared into the sky, and then merged into a tough, transparent giant ice sword.
Zhao Sheng silently made a sword gesture, and the giant ice sword suddenly trembled, transforming into four illusory sword lights. The sword lights flew out together, directly meeting the golden sword rainbow and engaging it in a fierce battle, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng looked up at Zhen Yue, reached his right hand to his waist, and with a flick of his wrist, four second-tier true talismans flew out together.
The next instant, four large, azure lightning balls suddenly flew up three or four zhang into the air, then merged into one, and in the blink of an eye, a huge lightning ball the size of a water vat, surging with lightning, appeared above the courtyard.
Zhen Yue looked up in surprise, her face turning deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Beneath the lightning sphere, Zhao Sheng stared blankly at Zhen Yue, his gaze icy cold, as if looking at a dead man, and uttered a single word: "Go."
In an instant, the lightning ball flickered and transformed into a thick, azure rainbow, spanning all directions and striking Zhen Yue's head in a flash, giving her no chance to dodge.
boom!
A massive burst of lightning erupted, and the courtyard seemed to sink into a sea of thunder, filled with lightning and dazzling white light.
In that instant, a three-inch-long flying sword, crackling with lightning, pierced through Zhen Yue's neck.
Zhen Yue only had time to look down at the hole in her neck, and before she could even show a look of regret, she was reduced to ashes in the endless thunder.
At the same time, Gu Yun was also affected by this extremely powerful attack and was blasted into pieces. Thousands of Gu worms were struck by lightning and turned into charred pieces that fell to the ground.
After confirming Zhen Yue's death, Zhao Sheng waved his hand and rolled up the spiritual light flying sword, the scroll, and the storage bag.
Then, without even glancing at the small cloud of Gu worms that had regrouped in the courtyard, he vanished.
Right now, Zhao Sheng's top priority is to refine the core of the Bei family and take control of the Bei family as soon as possible; everything else is secondary.
...
The outer light curtain of the Nahai Clam suddenly rippled, and Zhao Sheng emerged from it, then swam upwards.
After swimming more than twenty zhang, Zhao Sheng looked down to the lower left and saw only a faint glow in the darkness. He stopped, quickly dug a hole in the trench wall, and slipped inside.
After sealing the cave entrance, he took out the spirit pearl and held it in his hand, then suddenly pounded his left chest with his left hand.
With a loud "whoosh," Zhao Sheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which landed on the surface of the spirit pearl.
The next second, the essence blood and spiritual power rapidly merged, transforming into streams of crimson spiritual power. Under Zhao Sheng's mental control, the crimson spiritual power transformed into crimson runes, which began to seep into the spirit pearl little by little.
Each time a batch of blood talismans entered the spirit pearl, Zhao Sheng would spit out another mouthful of blood essence, which would merge with the spiritual power and transform into new blood talismans that would seep into the spirit pearl.
Refining a core component of a cave dwelling is no easy task, especially since Zhao Sheng's cultivation level is not even at the Foundation Establishment stage. Refining it would be a real stretch. There's no other way but to rely on time, perseverance, and self-harm to slowly grind it down.
Time passed slowly, and Zhao Sheng spat out mouthfuls of blood essence.
As batches of blood talismans were integrated into the spirit orb, and the spirit orb gradually showed a faint red light, Zhao Sheng's face grew paler and paler.
Three days later, in the makeshift cave, the spirit pearl emitted a faint but bright blood-red light, illuminating the cave and Zhao Sheng's pale and emaciated face.
"receive!"
As the muffled sound echoed in the cave, the Spirit Pearl naturally floated up, suddenly transforming into a ball of blood-red light, and flashed into Zhao Sheng's dantian.
Zhao Sheng slowly finished his practice, stood up from the ground, and couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes.
A moment later, he left the cave and quietly crept down to the outside of the Bei Mansion.
The enormous Nahai Shell still emitted a dazzling white light. However, outside the light barrier formed by the five stone pillars, three mangled corpses were floating there.
The corpse was covered with bizarrely shaped marine worms, which were slowly gnawing at its flesh.
Zhao Sheng's expression turned slightly serious upon seeing this scene.
It wasn't surprising that someone could find this place.
His biggest concern was that the Bay House had now been taken over by someone or some other force.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Sheng concealed his aura, held the invisibility talisman and the spirit-gathering talisman in his right hand, and swam forward, quietly entering the light curtain.
Before Zhao Sheng's feet even touched the ground, he had already disappeared as he stepped across the light curtain.
Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the Bei residence, mixed with the clashing of magical artifacts and the roar of spells, Zhao Sheng immediately saw that more than a dozen cultivators were engaged in a life-or-death struggle within this miniature grotto-heaven.
At this time,
Zhao Sheng's heart tightened, and he quickly looked over.
On one side, people dressed in red robes wielded large swords that glowed red. With incantations, crimson sword light, mixed with fireballs, shot towards another group.
The other side seemed to have more people, but their clothing was haphazard and their weapons were strange and varied.
Amidst the fighting, two individuals were locked in the most intense combat. One was a burly man in red robes with a face full of scars, wielding a fiery red throwing knife. With each flash, streaks of crimson blade light shot out. The other was an old woman, whose weapon was a pair of mandarin duck halberds. The halberds flashed and clashed, generating bursts of light that easily shattered the incoming blade lights, making her evenly matched with the burly man.
After observing secretly for a while, Zhao Sheng felt relieved.
These cultivators were all at the Qi Refining stage, with the two at the highest level only reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. The items they held were mostly ordinary high-grade magic weapons, and their fighting techniques were quite crude and did not meet his standards.
They all seem to be rogue cultivators, nothing to worry about.
After observing for another quarter of an hour, and confirming that neither side was pretending to be weak while actually being strong, they observed for another quarter of an hour.
To avoid further complications from the delay, Zhao Sheng decided to take action.
He quietly approached the two battle groups, slowly pressing his hands against the storage bag. In a flash, a simple talisman plate appeared in his hand. The talisman plate was divided into three layers, with seven water arrow talismans stacked more than twenty times on each layer.
"go"
As the spiritual light of the talisman plate gradually intensified, Zhao Sheng gave a silent shout, and then all the water arrow talismans turned into ashes at the same time.
The next second, thousands of three-foot-long, thick as a child's arm, and incredibly sharp water arrows suddenly appeared out of thin air above the Bei Mansion and plummeted down with lightning speed.
Suddenly, a rain of water arrows fell from the sky!
Aaaaaah!
A scream suddenly rang out from the Bei residence.
A moment later, Zhao Sheng emerged from the light screen, swam to the side, and looked at the enormous Na Hai Clam. He patted his abdomen, and the Town Spirit Pearl emerged from his body, hanging in front of him.
Zhao Sheng chanted incantations and cast a series of spells with his hands. The blood-red light on the spirit pearl of the town intensified, and a beam of white light suddenly shot out from the spirit pearl, splitting into five and connecting to the five stone pillars.
The stone pillar then emitted waves of light, which spread out and quickly flowed throughout the entire Nahai Shell.
As the sound of ocean waves gradually grew louder, the seashell slowly shrank in size.
Fifteen feet,
Ten zhang,
Three zhang
...
In the end, a small, exquisite white seashell, about an inch in size, fell into Zhao Sheng's hands, which he quickly put into his pocket.
Pop!
A dense mass of bubbles surged up from the trench, and Zhao Sheng, like a swordfish, darted upwards at lightning speed.
After a short while, he surfaced, checked his location, and instead of returning to Bellu Island, swam directly to a route connecting to the Inner Star Sea.
