Chapter 53: There is no enemy that cannot be solved with a single sword!

In battles between cultivators, high-level cultivators at the Golden Core Stage or above primarily rely on their Life-Bound Magical Treasures, or even Ancient Treasures.

As for cultivators below the Golden Core Stage, they naturally rely on magical tools, Talisman Treasures, talismans, and spells, yet every one of these battles is spectacular and extremely dangerous.

One careless moment could result in losing one's life on the spot.

Therefore, upon confirming that Yan Taibai would not let go of the little girl in the old man's arms behind him, even though Yan Taibai was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage,

the two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators from the Yin Yang Demon Sect of Yuanwu Country still dared not be careless, and each immediately took out a Primary High-tier Earth Attribute Talisman: Thick Armor Shield Talisman to protect their own safety.

At the same time, each shook their sleeves to take out their signature top-tier magical tools for combat.

One was filled with a sinister aura—a Soul-Gathering Banner—with gusts of eerie wind and ghostly wails that made one's hair stand on end, and even the sky high above grew much colder and gloomier.

The other, "Huojiao Xianzi," wielded a fire-red, ten-foot-long giant hammer; once unleashed, it was like a shooting star, fierce and formidable, something no ordinary person could withstand.

Facing such a dangerous situation, the old man holding Xin Ruyin behind Yan Taibai sent a voice transmission.

"Fellow Daoist, do not be impulsive. If you trust this old man, come with me. I made preparations before coming here. I have set up an array in advance; it might be difficult to kill the two of them, but trapping them is absolutely no problem."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai shook his head slightly. He wanted to increase his 【Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils】 progress value, and these two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yin Yang Demon Sect of Yuanwu Country were the best choice.

Naturally, he could not let them go just like that; he had to kill them with his own hands for it to count.

Therefore, after shaking his head, Yan Taibai made his move, shaking his sleeve.

A top-tier magical tool longsword, shimmering with brilliant, razor-sharp golden sword light, appeared in his hand.

Then, an unexpected scene occurred: Yan Taibai's figure flickered, and he charged toward the two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Yin Yang Demon Sect of Yuanwu Country like a shadow or lightning.

It left people momentarily dazed, and those unaware of the truth thought Yan Taibai was seeking his own death.

Even the two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Yin Yang Demon Sect of Yuanwu Country were momentarily stunned when they saw this.

But then, almost instinctively, they prepared to activate their magical tools to intercept Yan Taibai, who was attacking with the momentum of a rainbow, swift as lightning.

Unfortunately, their speed was still too slow, especially under the 【Invisible Evasion Technique】. This divine ability was originally meant for escaping, but in Yan Taibai's hands, it became a "booster" that enhanced his power.

As the saying goes, the only way to be invincible in all martial arts is to be fast!

Coupled with the longsword infused with "Geng Metal True Qi," the Primary High-tier Talismans they used for protection—the Thick Armor Shield Talismans—were cut through and severed as if they were made of tofu or paper, and immediately following that were their fragile bodies, which had no time to defend again.

The bodies of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators are not much different from those of mortals; without any defense, let alone the sharpness of a top-tier magical tool, even ordinary blades would be enough to injure them.

Not to mention a top-tier magical tool sword infused with "Geng Metal True Qi."

Therefore, in just a fleeting breath, almost at the same time, the two of them saw darkness before their eyes, their heads were severed from their bodies, and they lost all signs of life.

Even the primordial spirits within their heads were shattered and destroyed by the "Geng Metal True Qi" in the longsword.

This scene left the Qi Refining Stage cultivators around Baichi Shan terrified, and without a word, they tacitly turned and fled, fearing that Yan Taibai would kill them to silence them and cover up the news.

Such things were not impossible to happen.

Therefore, in just a few breaths, the entire Baichi Shan was empty, with not a single person left besides Xin Ruyin and the old man.

Meanwhile, Yan Taibai was looking at his harvest.

Besides this, there were the magical tools and Storage Bags of the two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Yin Yang Demon Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, you should leave quickly. You killed two Foundation Establishment disciples of the Yin Yang Demon Sect, and one of them was the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Huojiao Xianzi; the Yin Yang Demon Sect will certainly not let you go. Especially since this Huojiao Xianzi was a descendant of the Golden Core Mid-stage cultivator Huoyun Daoren of the Yin Yang Demon Sect. He will surely send people to hunt you down."

The old man behind Yan Taibai looked at Yan Taibai, who was collecting the two Storage Bags and magical tools, his expression changing slightly as he spoke to warn him.

"Golden Core Mid-stage, that is indeed troublesome."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai's expression changed, and he immediately used a "Hudan Shu" to destroy the bodies and remove all traces.

"Senior, you and your disciple were seen with me just now. If you trust me, you can return to the Yanyue Sect with me. You won't need to come out for the time being; it won't be too late to come out after things have calmed down."

After "destroying the bodies and removing all traces" was completed, Yan Taibai turned and suggested.

"This... very well, then I will trouble you, Fellow Daoist. However, I hope you will not tell anyone about my identity."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Xin Ruyin in his arms, who had been badly frightened by the scene just now, and nodded in agreement.

After all, with his current strength, he could not protect Xin Ruyin if his identity were exposed.

"Why, does Senior have acquaintances in the sect?"

Seeing this, Yan Taibai probed thoughtfully.

"Indeed, there are a few fellow Daoists I know, but my current situation is truly not suitable for them to see me."

The old man gave a bitter smile and admitted it.

"Very well, Senior, rest assured, this junior will definitely not tell anyone. I will open another cave dwelling next to my own."

Yan Taibai nodded in agreement.

"Hmm! Then many thanks."

The old man sighed and expressed his gratitude.

"Senior is too polite, let us leave quickly; it won't be too late to talk about anything on the way."

After speaking, Yan Taibai shook his sleeve and took out a ten-foot-long cyan spirit boat.

Subsequently, the three of them landed on the spirit boat and flew straight toward the Yanyue Sect in Yue Country.

In the blink of an eye, they had vanished without a trace.

For Yan Taibai, there was nothing that could not be solved with one sword strike; if there was, then two strikes, and if there still was, then he would just leave.

"Fellow Daoist, your master must be Qiong Daoyou of your sect, right?"

Suddenly, the old man on the spirit boat spoke up.

"Senior, have you recognized my master's Invisible Evasion Technique?"

Hearing this, Yan Taibai thought for a moment and spoke.

"Indeed, I recognized it."

"The Invisible Evasion Technique created by Qiong Daoyou is a divine ability that even Nascent Soul cultivators find heart-stirring; naturally, I recognize it. It is just that I did not expect that after so long, Qiong Daoyou would have already taken on a disciple, and such an excellent disciple at that. It truly makes one envious!"

The old man sighed with emotion.
