Chapter 755: Plucking Xuan Che Again

Before Mu Lingxi's voice had even faded, she raised her hand and reached into the yin-yang fish pattern above her head.

Then, with a pull of her palm, she actually extracted the line at the boundary between the yin and the yang from within the yin-yang fish pattern.

With a wave of her hand, that line swept across the void like a long whip, piercing through the inner world of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

Afterwards, her figure flashed, and she entered the spatial rift.

Outside.

A tiny crack appeared on the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, and a flash of light shone from within the crack.

Mu Lingxi broke free from it.

Seeing this, Xuan Che subconsciously communicated with the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

The ten-zhang-long scroll was about to fly back to him amidst a rustling sound.

Just at this moment.

A figure flashed and caught up to the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

"Do you even know how to use this? Hand it over!"

Mu Lingxi let out a "hehe" laugh and grabbed the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

Xuan Che's expression turned to shock.

He hurriedly used all his strength to communicate with the control imprint he had left inside the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, and the map, gripped by Mu Lingxi, immediately began to struggle violently.

Sensing the immense force coming from her palm, Mu Lingxi frowned; a Spirit Light flashed over her body, and her Past Self and Future Self emerged from her body simultaneously.

Then, they both raised their hands and grabbed the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

The Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, which had been struggling violently, was immediately and completely suppressed after being grabbed by the three Mu Lingxis.

Seeing this, a look of horror appeared on Xuan Che's face.

Clones!

And their strength was not the slightest bit inferior to the original body.

And there were two of them!!

She had actually been hiding her strength!

At this moment, Xuan Che instantly abandoned the thought of retrieving the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map and fled toward the teleportation exit without the slightest hesitation.

He could barely handle one of her.

Now that two more clones with combat power no weaker than hers had appeared, if he continued to fight, he wouldn't even be able to escape!

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi had her original body and Future Self continue to control the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

Her Past Self transformed into a bolt of lightning, crossing past Xuan Che in the blink of an eye and blocking the front of the teleportation exit.

Seeing this, Xuan Che hurriedly stopped his momentum and fled toward the Artifact Pavilion without hesitation.

Mu Lingxi raised an eyebrow at this, a faint smile curling the corners of her lips, and she did not continue to pursue.

Upon realizing that the fake Zilan was not continuing to chase, Xuan Che felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Fighting is forbidden inside the Artifact Pavilion.

As long as he could enter the Artifact Pavilion, he could escape the danger.

Immediately after, his brow suddenly furrowed.

He discovered that a figure was standing at the entrance of the Artifact Pavilion.

He had not gained the slightest upper hand in his battle with Mu Lingxi and had been suppressed at every turn.

He was already filled with pent-up, wicked fire with nowhere to vent.

Upon seeing that Yang Yuntian had no intention of dodging when he saw him charging over, a cold look instantly appeared on his face.

Spiritual Power surged through his body, and he crashed straight toward Yang Yuntian.

Just at the moment he was about to collide with Yang Yuntian.

He suddenly saw a burst of dazzling Golden Light erupt from Yang Yuntian's body.

Then.

A fist smashed toward him.

On that fist, six mysterious runes were flickering in and out of existence.

This scene seemed somewhat familiar!

Xuan Che's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately after.

He saw dark red electric light suddenly emerge on Yang Yuntian's golden fist.

A mysterious aura that seemed to want to destroy all things in the world, causing one to uncontrollably feel panic, instantly permeated the air.

The moment he sensed this aura, Xuan Che's expression changed drastically.

"Wang Daniu, it's you!"

A cry of exclamation escaped his lips.

The emotions packed into this sound were extremely complex.

Resentment, anger, panic, and fear...

All were present.

Boom~

Just as his voice fell, a booming sound rang out.

Xuan Che let out a miserable shriek, as if he had been struck by a giant demonic beast, and flew off horizontally like a scarecrow, blood spraying wildly from his mouth as if it were worthless, splattering the ground all along the way.

With a "thud," he slammed heavily onto the ground.

He staggered to his feet, ignoring the blood constantly sliding from the corner of his mouth, and stared fixedly at Wang Jianqiang.

It's this Wang Daniu again!

In the Medicine Realm, he had suffered humiliation the likes of which he had never known in his life.

He had originally thought that escaping the Medicine Realm would count as a successful getaway.

He never expected this bastard to be so persistent.

It wasn't enough for one person to scheme against him; this time, he had even brought along an accomplice.

Damn it!

Did he really think he was a soft persimmon that could be squeezed at will?

"Wang Daniu, you shameless scoundrel, you only know how to use these tricks of ambush and sneak attacks!"

"Oh? Daoist Friend Xuan Che, didn't you also sneak attack me, Wang, back in the Medicine Realm? How can you say such things about yourself?"

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, a flash of Spirit Light on his body, and he reverted to his original appearance.

Xuan Che's expression froze.

Just then, he seemed to realize something; he looked around, then looked back at Wang Jianqiang, "Where is Yu'er? Where is she?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, a look of reminiscence flashing across his face, "She is a bit tired, so I, Wang, have temporarily placed her in a safe place to rest."

"You can rest assured."

Xuan Che's face instantly turned ashen, "Wang Daniu, you will die a horrible death."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "As I said before, whether I, Wang, die or not is not something you need to worry about, Daoist Friend."

"But before that, you, Daoist Friend, are going to fall here."

"I want to see if you can still be as lucky as you were before."

After Wang Jianqiang finished speaking, his figure flashed and he appeared in front of Xuan Che.

Dark red electric light flickered on his palm as he reached straight for Xuan Che's abdomen.

Xuan Che moved his mind.

Two Flying Swords flew out to intercept.

It was a pity that he was already severely injured.

His power had weakened far too much.

The Thunder Sword and the Wind Sword were swept away directly by the force of the punch.

Seeing this, a look of horror appeared on Xuan Che's face; in the critical moment, he could only desperately activate the golden armor on his body.

Boom!

The light on the golden armor dimmed, and Xuan Che was sent flying backward once again.

"Still not coming?"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

"Since that's the case, let's hit him with something harder."

He chased straight after the retreating Xuan Che, dark red electric light covering his entire right arm, about to smash a fist into Xuan Che.

Boom~

A huge sound of an explosion suddenly came from within.

The roof of the Artifact Pavilion suddenly exploded.

That violent explosive force was very strange; it did not scatter in all directions, but instead surged toward Wang Jianqiang in a fan shape.

"Finally here!"

The corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth curled up, and he abandoned his attack on Xuan Che, "panickedly" dodging.

On the way, he reached out and grabbed the Thunder Sword and the Wind Sword, tucking them into his pocket.

As Wang Jianqiang dodged away.

Within the fan-shaped coverage area of that violent force, only Xuan Che, who had been in front of Wang Jianqiang, remained.

Seeing that Xuan Che was about to be engulfed by the explosive force.

That explosive force, which clearly still had power to spare, suddenly seemed to reach its limit; the moment it reached Xuan Che, it inexplicably vanished.

Mu Lingxi was dumbfounded.

Although she had already heard from Wang Jianqiang that whenever Xuan Che encountered a desperate situation, some inexplicable change would occur to help him escape.

But seeing this scene for herself, she still couldn't help but be shocked.

Is this the legendary protection of destiny?

Isn't this a bit too bizarre?

But then again.

If it were only this, Xuan Che wouldn't be able to escape.

She and Senior Brother were blocking Xuan Che's retreat from both sides, one after the other; Xuan Che still had nowhere to run.

The roof of the Artifact Pavilion suddenly exploding, aside from delaying Xuan Che's time of death, didn't seem to have any effect, right?

Just as Mu Lingxi was secretly wondering in her heart.

From the spot where the roof of the Artifact Pavilion had exploded, nine beads suddenly shot out, turning into nine swimming dragons that circled the Artifact Pavilion before preparing to fly back into it.

With the appearance of these nine beads.

The Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map in Mu Lingxi's hand, which had already quieted down, suddenly began to tremble again.

The trembling of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map was not because of Xuan Che, but because of those nine beads.

She could feel it.

The Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map was extremely hungry for those nine beads.

It was as if...

That was originally an important component of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

"Senior Brother, those beads should be components of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map; they are very important."

"We cannot let them return to the Golden Pagoda."

As she spoke.

Mu Lingxi's past incarnation transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly rushing to the top of the Artifact Pavilion.

With a burst of power, she directly condensed a Spiritual Power Barrier at the top of the Artifact Pavilion.

She forcibly intercepted the nine swimming dragons.

However, the nine swimming dragons were extremely powerful, each possessing strength comparable to a Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivator.

Moreover, when attacking, their power seemed capable of merging, causing their might to climb.

Under the attack of the nine swimming dragons, that formidable power made Mu Lingxi frown.

Wang Jianqiang, seemingly also attracted by the treasure, flashed back to the top of the Artifact Pavilion to help Mu Lingxi deal with the swimming dragons formed by the beads.

Seeing this, Xuan Che revealed the joy of having survived a disaster.

Not daring to hesitate in the slightest, he rushed straight into the teleportation portal.

Leaving behind only a voice of unwillingness and resentment echoing within the Artifact Pavilion space.

"Wang Daniu, I will remember this grudge for now."

"In the future, I, Xuan, will definitely make the two of you pay back double!"

Hearing Xuan Che's resentful voice, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Not bad, it seems he hasn't lost his fighting spirit.

Very good.

Still able to continue harvesting.

Afterward, he did not continue his Disguise.

Borrowing Xiaobai's power, he waved his hand casually, shattering the energy bodies of all nine swimming dragons at once.

Mu Lingxi opened her hand and grabbed forward.

The nine beads were sucked toward her.

Just as she was about to merge these nine beads into the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, Wang Jianqiang hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a moment, there are still control imprints left by Xuan Che in this Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map; it belongs to someone else."

"If we merge these beads into it now and make it complete, I fear it will cause complications."

"It is better to erase Xuan Che's Spirit Sense first before merging."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi nodded and handed the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map to Wang Jianqiang, "Then, Senior Brother, you do it."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not stand on ceremony; he took the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, flipped his palm, and stored it into the Spirit God Ring.

Mu Lingxi was stunned, "Senior Brother, aren't you going to erase the imprint Xuan Che left in the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map?"

"Why did you put it away?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Xuan Che is an Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivator. Even if you wanted to wear down the imprint he left in the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, it would take quite a bit of time. Strictly speaking, I am only a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator right now; how could I possibly wear down the imprint of an Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivator?"

"It is more efficient to leave it to Xiaobai."

"Xiaobai?"

"Ahem, slip of the tongue; it is Fairy Bai."

"Mm-hmm, I understand."

Mu Lingxi nodded repeatedly, winking at Wang Jianqiang with a mischievous look on her face.

Whoosh~

Just then, a light flashed on the Spirit God Ring.

The Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map reappeared before Wang Jianqiang, and at the same time, an annoyed voice came out.

"It is already done."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, his Spirit Sense surged out, and after branding his own imprint into the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map—which had returned to being an ownerless object—he looked at Mu Lingxi, "Lingxi, it is ready now."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi waved her hand.

The nine beads flew over simultaneously and merged into the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

After the nine beads entered the internal world of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, they transformed back into nine swimming dragons.

Either diving into rivers and seas, or merging into the earth and mountains.

Forming existences like Earth Veins.

With the merging of these nine beads, the internal world of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map underwent a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change.

Not only did Spirit Qi derive from the previously lifeless world, but the land, which had become a mess in the previous great battle, recovered at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed back into a world of beautiful mountains and clear waters.

At the same time, the stability of this world increased by more than several times.

Noticing this scene, a smile curled at the corner of Wang Jianqiang's mouth.

With these beads, the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map could finally be considered complete, and its power had increased by more than several times compared to before.

Moreover.

The internal world of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map had been damaged in the previous battle; originally, it would have required him to slowly recover it by nourishing it with Spiritual Power after completely refining it, but now it saved him quite a bit of time.

"How is it, Senior Brother?"

Mu Lingxi leaned in and asked.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "The Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map has become complete, and its power has increased quite a bit."

"However, I have not yet refined the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, so I can only control it simply. As for the specifics, I will have to test it after refining it."

After speaking, Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment.

With a wave of his hand, three Flying Swords appeared before him.

They were precisely the Thunder Sword, the Wind Sword, and the ice sword previously seized from the hands of Xuan Che.

"These three swords all possess their own Intent Power and have impressive might; they are very suitable for you."

"Take them."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi happily put the three Flying Swords away.

"Senior Brother, are we going to the Dharma Hall next?"

Of the four regions in the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm, they had already been to the Medicine Realm and the Pill Tower.

Now that the trip to the Artifact Pavilion could be considered quite fruitful, only the Dharma Hall remained unvisited.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head upon hearing this, "There is little point in going to the Dharma Hall now; it is better to let the leeks grow a bit more first."

Mu Lingxi was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this, "Senior Brother is right."

Afterwards, the two returned to the Artifact Pavilion.

Because there was no immediate need to enter the Dharma Hall, there was plenty of time.

The two of them had also not yet entered the Treasure Realm.

Thus, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, they each entered the Treasure Realm once.

Each person obtained a piece of trash Magic Treasure at the First-layer Spirit Light level.

"This can't be, right?"

"I, Wang, have done good deeds all my life without leaving my name and have accumulated plenty of good character, so how could my luck be this bad?"

Wang Jianqiang was somewhat unwilling to accept this.

He dragged the equally unwilling Mu Lingxi into the Golden Pagoda.

Just after entering the first floor of the Golden Pagoda, they encountered several thousand Battle Spirits.

After several thousand First-tier and Second Tier Low Grade Battle Spirits merged into one, their combat power was off the charts.

Before long, the two of them fled out in a dejected state.
