Chapter 161: Demonic Artifacts

"Spare my life!" Seeing their companion killed by the golden blade, Mu Lizi trembled all over and chose to surrender.

However, Su Fan's gaze was icy, and he immediately revealed a playful smile. "Fine! As long as you hand over that copper bell in your hand immediately, I will consider sparing your life."

"I can do that! As long as Fellow Daoist Han swears a soul oath to let this old man go, I will immediately hand this golden bell to you."

Mu Lizi naturally sensed Su Fan's malice. Feeling stifled, he still spoke with a somewhat fawning smile.

He was groveling, but for the sake of survival, he wouldn't even care if he had to kneel.

Looking at the Blazing Golden Blade in Su Fan's hand, he felt a chill in his heart. He knew clearly that even the golden bell in his hand would find it difficult to withstand this item.

His artifact was a first-grade high-tier item, and a top-tier one at that, combining offense and defense. If placed in the market, it could even sell for six or seven hundred spirit stones.

A low-quality second-grade low-tier artifact would only cost eight or nine hundred.

However, combining offense and defense also meant that this artifact was not purely for defense; it was certainly inferior to a top-tier first-grade high-tier defensive artifact.

"Heh! Since that's the case, then go to hell. Once I kill you, I can obtain everything anyway."

Letting him go was simply impossible. If you don't pull out the weeds by the roots, you leave yourself future trouble. In the martial arts world, Su Fan wouldn't do such a thing, let alone in the world of immortal cultivation.

"You..."

"From the moment you dared to set your sights on me, your fate was sealed."

Su Fan directed the Blazing Golden Blade to strike rapidly at the opponent's golden curtain. This Blazing Golden Blade had infinite power, but it consumed mana very quickly.

If his mana weren't far more profound than that of an average eighth-layer Qi Refining cultivator—even more profound than a ninth-layer one—he truly wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Even so, Su Fan swallowed a Qi-Returning Pill.

*Sss! Sss! *

The scorching, sharp golden blade left a wound on Mu Lizi's golden curtain with every attack, even though the opponent recovered instantly.

However, the curtain released by that golden bell was becoming thinner and thinner.

"Are you really going to kill us all?"

Mu Lizi roared in despair, "We are people from the Black Abyss! If you dare to kill me, you will inevitably face endless pursuit from the Black Abyss!"

When begging for mercy failed, he began to threaten.

Su Fan sneered, "The Black Abyss? So what? You are nothing but a bunch of rats in the dark."

Su Fan had heard of them; they were considered a criminal organization in the Zheng State's cultivation world, specializing in robbery and looting.

They had even broken through several cultivation markets, which contained many Foundation Establishment cultivators and all sorts of people from every walk of life.

But Su Fan was not afraid. Although there were many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Black Abyss, that still didn't change the fact that they were a criminal organization, and an underground one wanted by the Profound Heaven Sect at that.

Things that couldn't be brought into the light only dared to target small markets. Just let them try targeting the Taihe Market.

It was simply impossible.

The Black Abyss was strong, but Su Fan did not fear them. As long as he stayed in the Taihe Market or the Su Family, the Black Abyss would absolutely not dare to come.

There was no need to mention the Taihe Market, and the Su Family was not to be trifled with either. The Su Family's Cloud Terrace Peak had a third-grade array set up by the Clan Leader; even if a Purple Mansion cultivator came, the Su Family's two Foundation Establishment experts could hold them off with the help of the array.

As long as there was no shortage of spirit stones, they didn't fear any cultivator below the third level of the Purple Mansion breaking the array.

Su Fan didn't know if the Black Abyss had any Purple Mansion experts, but he knew clearly that the opponent would absolutely not dare to attack the Su Family.

Since that was the case, why would Su Fan care about this guy's threats?

He directly ignored the other party's words and directed the Blazing Golden Blade to attack the defensive barrier.

"Damn it! You forced me!"

Mu Lizi's face became increasingly ugly and gloomy, and the fear deep in his eyes turned into madness. He suddenly pulled out a black blade embryo.

"Hmm!"

"A Demonic Blade."

"Such strong baleful Qi. Just how many living beings has this blade been blood-sacrificed with?"

Seeing the opponent's actions, Su Fan's expression tightened. From that pitch-black blade embryo, Su Fan felt a threat.

"A Demonic path artifact."

Su Fan's heart stirred, and his face turned somewhat ugly. Demonic cultivators could be said to be a malignant tumor in the cultivation world.

Demonic cultivators loved to blood-sacrifice mortal living beings to refine their Demonic artifacts.

And mortals were the foundation of immortal cultivators. Whether it was a Qi Refining cultivation family or a large sect like the Profound Heaven Sect, they all had a great need for mortals.

Don't look at them as being high and mighty; if there were no mortals, the Profound Heaven Sect would also slowly dissipate.

Therefore, once Demonic cultivators appeared, no matter what faction they belonged to, as long as they were human immortal cultivators, they would attack them.

Demonic cultivators and immortal cultivators were naturally opposed, existing in a state of life-and-death struggle.

Every cultivation family was extremely cautious regarding Demonic cultivators. One of the reasons the Su Family's mortal bloodline had not increased was the fear of Demonic cultivators.

Once the base of mortals became large, it would attract the attention of Demonic cultivators. This was not a good thing; the Su Family's cultivators were not numerous enough to protect the mortals.

It was also because they discovered that hidden valley on White Cloud Peak that the Su Family had recently begun to slowly develop the number of mortals.

The person before him actually had a Demonic artifact blade embryo, and it seemed the grade had reached the second-grade level, only this blade embryo was not fully finished.

Even so, Su Fan's heart was pounding wildly.

Watching the opponent spit out a mouthful of essence blood to blood-sacrifice this Demonic artifact, Su Fan's scalp went numb. He could not let him successfully refine this Demonic artifact.

However, breaking through the opponent's defensive artifact would still take more than a dozen breaths, and clearly, the opponent would only need a few breaths to refine this Demonic artifact.

By that time, he would be in danger.

"Why must you force me?"

Mu Lizi was now full of ferocity. Clearly, refining this Demonic artifact was not easy for him either. Half of his body's essence blood was crazily pouring into this Demonic blade, and his body suddenly withered, his face turning deathly pale.

"No!"

"I can't let this guy finish, otherwise I will be heavily injured, or even die."

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, making Su Fan's face turn ugly as well. "Do I have to use the Thunder Fire Bead?"

To be honest, Su Fan did not want to use this Thunder Fire Bead. Using it on this person was simply a waste.

"No, there is still one move."

Su Fan suddenly remembered his soul attack. In the Datang world, the 'Soul Cage' move he created was quite sharp.

So, without thinking, he unleashed it. At this moment, he could not afford to hesitate.

He locked eyes with him and shot out two beams of golden light.

"What?"

Mu Lizi had also been vigilantly watching Su Fan. Seeing golden light shoot out from the opponent's eyes, his mind was instantly shaken.

Immediately after, he felt his vision go black, as if he had fallen into boundless darkness.

"What is this?"

Mu Lizi felt a chill in his heart, not knowing what exactly had happened, or why he had suddenly fallen into darkness.

And just as Mu Lizi fell into darkness, the Demonic artifact he was refining fell to the ground because no one was operating it. Not only this Demonic artifact, but his protective artifact and the silver needles also fell to the ground with a buzz, having lost their divine sense control.

"A good opportunity!"

Su Fan's face lit up with joy, immediately knowing that his mental attack had been effective. Sure enough, this mental attack technique did not disappoint him.

However, fearing that the opponent would react quickly, Su Fan hurriedly took action and unleashed his Blazing Golden Blade.

With a turn of the golden blade, the man's head fell to the ground. ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
