My Fairy Growth System

Beneath the Passing Blade, the Canglan Water Dragon Break that Yu Qingtan had unleashed was sliced into pieces the size of fingernails before dissipating into spiritual light.

Then, it surged directly towards Yu Qingtan.

In that moment, Yu Qingtan felt a trace of an original essence.

The essence of the blade.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators had never come into contact with the essence. Li Qingxuan, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, whose techniques carried a faint trace of the original essence, truly lived up to the reputation of being the talented one known as the Brocade Sky Blade.

Yu Qingtan judged that the Five Elements Protective Barrier could probably just block it, but she didn't want to reveal too much.

Therefore, with a flash of pale blue light, Yu Qingtan had already disappeared from her original spot.

Five Elements Qiankun Escape.

However, Yu Qingtan used the Water Escape Technique as a decoy, which unless faced with a Nascent Soul cultivator with exceptional eyesight, obscured the underlying Way of the Five Elements.

The skill in using an Escape Technique lies not just in its speed but also in its ability to evade capture.

Li Qingxuan's Passing Blade was not only extremely fast but also carried the might of the blade's aura.

If Yu Qingtan had only used the Water Escape Technique, she wouldn't be able to escape the lock of the Passing Blade.

But under the Five Elements Qiankun Escape, the Passing Blade could only trail behind Yu Qingtan, eating dust.

Then, Yu Qingtan flickered through the air, and each time she appeared, she launched a Canglan Blood Dragon Rupture at Li Qingxuan.

Within it, she incorporated the Blood Dao, further enhancing its potency.

Li Qingxuan was left with no choice but to continue unleashing Passing Blades in defense.

"Not good, it's rumored that Yu Qingtan possesses the Soul Devouring Physique. If Sister Qingxuan can't defeat her in one go and instead gets caught in a deadlock, I fear she will be defeated!" Venerable Jianyang said with an ugly expression on his face.

"That Yu Qingtan is really shameless, only dodging and launching sneak attacks, without any martial honor!" complained the same Golden Core cultivator from the Extreme Path Demon Sect, indignant.

But no one echoed his sentiment.

Li Qingxuan also felt a sinking in the pit of her stomach, not expecting Yu Qingtan to possess such a subtle Escape Technique.

But she could not allow herself to fail.

With grim determination, she consumed essence blood to use a Secret Technique that boosted her cultivation directly to the late stages of the Golden Core stage and then spat out a mouthful of essence blood along with Golden Core energy onto her Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Brocade Blade.

The blade hummed.

Li Qingxuan, holding the Brocade Blade, began to spin, and the blade spun along with her.

The sharp blade's aura shredded the approaching Blood Dragon.

The spinning Li Qingxuan created a blade aura tornado.

Then, in an instant, an invisible surge washed towards the area where Yu Qingtan was located.

The second form of the Heavenly Blade, Selfless Without Blade.

This technique was also very forced for Li Qingxuan.

The invisible blade's aura turned into blade waves, attacking the enemy in a wide range. Moreover, its power was double that of the Passing Blade.

Li Qingxuan was confident that Yu Qingtan's mystical Escape Technique could not evade this attack.

Unless Yu Qingtan used a lifesaving trump bestowed by her sect, there might be a chance to survive this strike, but Li Qingxuan was not limited to a single blow.

Yu Qingtan's Five Elements Qiankun Escape indeed couldn't evade this move, and the Five Elements Protective Barrier couldn't fend it off either, but Yu Qingtan directly consumed a drop of essence blood to employ a Dao Technique, Bleeding Thousand Miles.

She disappeared silently from the spot.

Li Qingxuan, who emerged within the dissipating blade aura tornado, along with everyone present, were bewildered; they hadn't seen Yu Qingtan use an Escape Talisman, and invisibility would be futile against Selfless Without Blade, a wide-range attack.

Two breaths later, Yu Qingtan appeared again.

Unlike the Third Stage Escape Talisman, Bleeding Thousand Miles allowed one to control the direction of movement.

"I admit your attack is strong, but it's a pity that it can't hit me!"

Yu Qingtan wanted to provoke Li Qingxuan a bit more.

Li Qingxuan did not speak, his body started to spin again, preparing to use the second Selfless Bladeless attack.

But Yu Qingtan was not going to give him a second chance to attack.

A flash of blood merged with the Five Elements Qiankun Escape utilizing the Blood Escape Technique, and a dense array of azure-blue blades shot toward Li Qingxuan from all directions.

Containing the elements of the Water Path, the Wood Path, and the Blood Dao, each strike of the Water-Wood-Blood Blades had the attack power of the Late Stage of the Golden Core.

The sword qi around Li Qingxuan collided with the Water-Wood-Blood Blades, and although they could withstand them, the spinning came to a stop.

Yu Qingtan put away the Canglan Sword and took out the Roaming Zither, cradling it with his left hand, controlling the strings with his right, and started to play the Devil's Penetrating Sound.

Inside Li Qingxuan's Sea of Consciousness, he had cultivated the Divine Sense Sword, which, although not yet able to emerge and break the enemy, could defend against the devilish sound. However, it inevitably required him to divide his attention.

Soon, Li Qingxuan, who was fully resisting with his sword qi, began to sweat on his forehead.

After a dozen breaths, the amount of spiritual energy inside him had reached a critical level.

Li Qingxuan felt reluctant, "Do I really have to use the life-saving treasure bestowed by the sect?"

At that moment, a golden sword shot into the battlefield, rapidly circling around Li Qingxuan and forming a sword net, which temporarily blocked Yu Qingtan's Water-Wood-Blood Blades for her.

"Chu Jianyang, do you want to fight two against one? Are you bullying us for having no one left?"

Before Yu Qingtan could speak, Fairy Qingtan had already moved forward with an explosion of spiritual power, shouting loudly.

"Don't panic, Senior Sister Qianrou, even if ten of them came at me together, I would have nothing to fear!" Yu Qingtan responded dominantly, while dividing half of the devilish sound and Water-Wood-Blood Blades to attack Venerable Jianyang.

"Hmph, Fairy Qingtan is indeed powerful. I, Qingxuan, admit defeat. Let's end the battle here, shall we?"

Li Qingxuan surprisingly conceded directly.

"If you can fight, you fight; if you can't, you admit defeat. Do you think this is a sect competition?" Yu Qingtan snorted coldly, but her hands did not cease their attacking movements.

Fairy Qianrou saw that Yu Qingtan still had the energy to talk to the other side and therefore didn't make a move for the time being.

Venerable Jianyang used his lifebound weapon, the Nine Section Sword, to resist Yu Qingtan's attacks.

"Hmph, what, you still want to kill me? I think it would be better for us to talk!" said Li Qingxuan with a cold snort, as a Nascent Soul Charm Treasure appeared in his hand, though he did not activate it.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qingtan finally stopped her attacks.

On one hand, Li Qingxuan was indeed very difficult to kill; on the other, even if she killed Li Qingxuan, with so many eyes watching, killing a prodigy of such a level could lead the God Transformation Honorables from the Extreme Path Demon Sect to trouble her.

"Your people need to withdraw from the Lotus Gate's sphere of influence and compensate for the losses caused in the previous Spirit Tungsten Mine disputes, then we can talk!" said Yu Qingtan coldly, surrounded by Water-Wood-Blood Blades.

Li Qingxuan's breath fell back to the mid-stage of Golden Core. The aftereffects of the secret technique and the major consumption of spiritual energy left him very weak, but still, he managed to brace himself and show no sign of decay.

"That Spirit Tungsten Mine was rightfully fought over and obtained by the Blood Marionette Sect and the Lotus Gate. We certainly can't give it back," he replied.

"Then what are the Blood Shadow Demon Sect and the Extreme Path Demon Sect doing getting involved?" Yu Qingtan said, her patience wearing thin.

"We are only here to prevent the Qunfang Pavilion and the Wendao Sect from making a move against the cultivators of the Blood Marionette Sect! You can ask them, have we ever laid hands on the cultivators of the Lotus Gate?"

Yu Qingtan looked towards Venerable Shuangsu, who conveyed to Yu Qingtan via telepathy: "Indeed, the people of Blood Shadow Demon Sect and Extreme Path Demon Sect did not attack us, but with them present, how could we possibly counterattack against the cultivators of the Blood Marionette Sect with full force?"

"You all retreat back into the Immortal City for now!" Yu Qingtan instructed Venerable Shuangsu and Fairy Qianrou through telepathy.

"Then let's see the truth through battle!" Then the Water-Wood-Blood Blades shot out, aiming at the ten Golden Core Cultivators of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, and the Devil's Penetrating Sound rang out again.
