Before Ma Ma Wuchen could think carefully, Song Song Qingming's figure transformed into a residual image and vanished from the spot, then completely disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, the trace of joy that had just appeared on Ma Ma Wuchen's face vanished into thin air, and he then cast a spell to control the blood mist around him to circulate rapidly, carefully scanning the surroundings.

This white scroll was a very rare third-tier top-quality magic treasure, extremely adept at trapping enemies; as long as it was not a Nascent Soul cultivator taking action, it was very difficult for any Jin Dan cultivator to escape from the scroll in a short time.

This magic treasure was originally refined by Senior Feng He and was lent to Song Song Qingming last time in the "Wind Thunder Island" secret realm to deal with Qiu Qiu Wuxin, but it ended up being struck with a large hole by his desperate sword strike.

Later, when Song Song Qingming returned the magic treasure, Senior Feng He saw that it was somewhat damaged and did not take it back, gifting it directly to Song Song Qingming and also providing him with the method to repair this magic treasure.

Later, when Song Song Qingming returned to the Wei Kingdom, he had Song Song Qingyu make a trip to "Mount Guyang Mountain," spending some spirit stones to invite Li Li Mufeng, a fourth-tier artifact refiner, to take action and quickly repair it completely.

After using the white scroll to trap Ma Ma Wuchen, Song Song Qingming immediately withdrew to hide within the scroll, then cast a spell to take out the "Green Jade Bottle" magic treasure from his body, beginning to accumulate magic power in preparation to slay Ma Ma Wuchen in one fell swoop.

Coming here with Song Song Qingyu this time was originally to secretly search for the "Heavenly Divine Thunder," and like Ma Ma Wuchen, Song Song Qingming was also worried that if the time dragged on too long, it would attract "Hunyuan Sect" cultivators.

Therefore, after Song Song Qingming made up his mind, he did not want to continue entangling with the opponent, so he took out the strongest fourth-tier magic treasure on his body right away, preparing to finish the battle quickly, solve the opponent, and then quickly escape from here.

So as not to really attract "Hunyuan Sect" cultivators in a while; if they discovered the identities of the two, it would likely bring trouble to himself and the sect in the future.

Ma Ma Wuchen, inside the white scroll, waited carefully for a while, and seeing that Song Song Qingming had not launched an attack for a long time, he relaxed slightly and took the initiative to release a blood-colored sword light, striking the scroll not far away.

Although the power of this sword strike was not weak, striking the white scroll was like a clay ox entering the sea; it only stirred up a ripple and did not cause any damage to this scroll.

Seeing that the defensive capability of this white scroll was so strong, a trace of surprise appeared on Ma Ma Wuchen's face, and he then changed an angle to release the blood-colored sword light.

He wanted to find the weak point of the white scroll to save some effort in breaking this cage that trapped him.

Song Song Qingming, while battling Ma Ma Wuchen, had Song Song Qingyu outside, along with "Silver Armor" and the "White Lion Puppet Beast," also already engaged in battle with the five "Blood Corpse Puppets" summoned by Ma Ma Wuchen.

Although these five "Blood Corpse Puppets" had cultivation bases not low, all at the mid-stage of Jin Dan, the strongest one had even reached the late stage of Jin Dan.

But because puppets have no intelligence of their own, even if their own strength is not weak, their combat methods are far inferior to normal cultivators of the same tier.

Although she was not lightly injured in the previous battle, Song Song Qingyu still took the initiative to block three "Blood Corpse Puppets" by herself, while the remaining two were matched against "Silver Armor" and the "White Lion Puppet Beast."

Both sides fought back and forth outside, and for a time, they were evenly matched.

And Ma Ma Wuchen, trapped in the scroll, after launching several attacks, soon found a place where the spiritual energy was relatively weak.

Just as he was about to urge the "Blood Light Flying Sword" to launch a powerful strike to break the restriction before him, spiritual light suddenly flickered in the white scroll behind him, and a green-clothed figure holding a jade bottle magic treasure appeared.

Song Song Qingming, who had just appeared, did not wait for Ma Ma Wuchen to react, and immediately urged the "Green Jade Bottle" magic treasure he had already prepared; following that, an incomparably sharp green sword light flew out from the jade bottle, heading straight for Ma Ma Wuchen's back.

Sensing a powerful killing intent suddenly appearing behind him, Ma Ma Wuchen, who had not yet turned around, instinctively urged a blood-colored mysterious iron shield to protect his back first.

Just as he turned around, the green sword light launched by Song Song Qingming had already arrived before Ma Ma Wuchen, colliding with the blood-colored shield and stirring up a powerful wave of magic power.

"This is... a fourth-tier magic treasure! Who exactly are you, kid? How could you possibly have such a thing?"

Ma Ma Wuchen, who was struggling to urge his magic treasure to resist Song Song Qingming's attack, felt the powerful might of the sword light the moment it touched it, far exceeding the scope of an ordinary third-tier magic treasure.

Glancing up at the "Green Jade Bottle" magic treasure in Song Song Qingming's hand, a look of surprise appeared on his face, unable to believe that Song Song Qingming, who looked ordinary on the outside, could actually possess a spiritual item of the fourth-tier magic treasure level.

One must know that although there are many late-stage Jin Dan cultivators in the cultivation world, those who can possess fourth-tier magic treasures are all core disciples of major Nascent Soul sects, or those veteran late-stage Jin Dan cultivators who have formed their cores for hundreds of years.

And Song Song Qingming before him, although having a cultivation base of the eighth layer of Jin Dan, did not look very old in reality, yet he could possess a fourth-tier magic treasure, which was truly somewhat beyond Ma Ma Wuchen's expectations.

"Could it be that this person is truly from a nearby Nascent Soul sect?"

Although very suspicious in his heart, Ma Ma Wuchen, facing the powerful green sword light attack released by Song Song Qingming and already in danger, did not have much time to think about this problem.

The blood-colored shield released by Ma Ma Wuchen was only an ordinary third-tier mid-quality defensive magic treasure, and under the attack of the green sword light, a crack soon appeared.

Seeing that his magic treasure seemed somewhat unable to resist, a look of ugliness appeared on Ma Ma Wuchen's face, and he spat out another mouthful of essence blood onto the shield before him.

As the fresh blood touched the blood-colored shield, the "Crimson Blood Mist" surrounding Ma Ma Wuchen also began to boil, as if it had smelled something delicious, and crazily poured into the blood-colored shield before him.

With the addition of these blood mists, the blood-colored shield before Ma Ma Wuchen instantly shone with spiritual light, quickly reversing the precarious situation.

As the green sword light before him disappeared, the blood-colored shield before Ma Ma Wuchen also instantly "bang" shattered, revealing a huge gap.

Although he had managed to block the other party's attack with great difficulty, this defensive magic treasure that had followed Ma Ma Wuchen for many years was also damaged and could no longer be used.

Seeing his magic treasure destroyed, a look of anger appeared on Ma Ma Wuchen's face, and he turned his unfriendly gaze toward Song Song Qingming not far away.

The green sword light failing in one strike did not exceed Song Song Qingming's expectations; after launching the attack, the magic power in his body was already rapidly pouring into the magic treasure in his hand.

And at this moment, at the bottle mouth position in front of the "Green Jade Bottle," another shining green sword light appeared, its momentum seemingly even better than the previous one.

"Hmph! Don't think that only you have a fourth-tier magic treasure. Wanting to deal with me with just this is simply a fool's dream."

Seeing the other party about to launch the sword light again, Ma Ma Wuchen sneered, and his hands quickly cast a spell; soon, a black gourd emitting golden light appeared before him.

Just as this "Black Gourd" appeared, Song Song Qingming felt a burst of powerful pressure emanating from above; without Ma Ma Wuchen needing to explain, Song Song Qingming also understood that this item was also a fourth-tier magic treasure of extremely high quality.

After summoning the "Black Gourd" before him, Ma Ma Wuchen immediately cast a spell to enlarge it several dozen times, and then black smoke quickly emerged from the gourd's bottle mouth.

The black smoke rolled in the air for a while, then gathered into a cluster, and then transformed into a black Black Qilin stepping on flames.

Just as the "Black Black Qilin" took shape, Song Song Qingming also accumulated enough magic power and waved his left hand lightly; the second sword light gestated by the "Green Jade Bottle" immediately flew out.

This attack already had two or three tenths of the full power of a Nascent Soul cultivator's strike, and its momentum had long exceeded the first green sword light; just seeing it from afar, Ma Ma Wuchen felt a burst of bone-chilling killing intent in his heart.

However, facing this fierce second strike from Song Song Qingming, there was not a trace of panic on Ma Ma Wuchen's face.

Seeing the sword light strike, Ma Ma Wuchen immediately controlled the "Black Black Qilin" in mid-air to pounce forward, biting the green sword light launched by Song Song Qingming firmly.

One did not know what this "Black Black Qilin" was condensed from; although it appeared ethereal and formless, it could emit a burst of thunder light from its mouth, entangling the green sword light and gradually dissolving it.

Soon, the momentum on the green sword light was weakened quite a bit, and its power was far inferior to when Song Song Qingming had just launched it, being bitten firmly in its mouth by the "Black Black Qilin."

Seeing that the "Black Black Qilin" he released had successfully blocked the other party's fierce attack, a look of triumph appeared on Ma Ma Wuchen's face.

This "Black Gourd" is not only a very rare fourth-tier defensive magic treasure, but it also has the essence soul of a high-tier thunder-attribute demon beast refined into it, which can emit a special thunder light ability used to dissolve the opponent's attacks.

Since obtaining this magic treasure, it has helped him block countless dangers over the years, and Ma Ma Wuchen is exceptionally fond of this magic treasure, rarely using it in front of others.

Even the fellow sect brothers and sisters and personal disciples around Ma Ma Wuchen did not know that he had such a formidable defensive magic treasure on him.

If it weren't for encountering an opponent as troublesome as Song Song Qingming today, Ma Ma Wuchen would not have easily used this trump card today.

Here, the green sword light was still confronting the "Black Black Qilin," but Song Song Qingming in the distance did not show the look of surprise Ma Ma Wuchen wanted to see, but instead stared at the battlefield ahead, lost in thought.

"Could this be high-tier divine thunder!"

Since practicing the "Devouring Heaven Imperial Thunder Art" cultivation technique, Song Song Qingming had not used this technique in battle with others.

At this moment, seeing the black thunder light spat out from the "Black Black Qilin's" mouth, Song Song Qingming felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart, wanting to take action to see if the cultivation technique within his body had any effect on this thunder light.

After hesitating slightly for a moment, Song Song Qingming, staring at the "Black Black Qilin," gradually firmed his gaze, and then a burst of white spiritual light suddenly flickered from his body as his magic power moved.

Seeing that Song Song Qingming did not continue to control the "Green Jade Bottle" magic treasure but instead wanted to display some ability, Ma Ma Wuchen smiled slightly and did not seem to care too much.

Even a fourth-tier magic treasure could not break the defense of the "Black Black Qilin"; in his eyes, Song Song Qingming obviously had no other methods and was no longer to be feared; next, it should be his turn to attack.

Just as Ma Ma Wuchen was feeling somewhat triumphant, the white light on Song Song Qingming's body had already transformed into two giant hands, directly reaching out to grab the "Black Black Qilin" that was currently devouring the sword light. "Heh! With just this little ability, you dare to confront my Black Jade Thunder Black Qilin? Truly overestimating yourself!"

Seeing Song Song Qingming's giant white hands wanting to stop the "Black Black Qilin" from devouring the sword light, a trace of mockery could not help but flash in Ma Ma Wuchen's eyes.

But the next moment, as the spiritual light on the giant white hands suddenly flickered, not long after, the thunder light in the "Black Black Qilin's" mouth suddenly disappeared.

And the green golden light that had already been mostly devoured in the "Black Black Qilin's" mouth, now without the restraint of the black thunder light, instantly surged in momentum and quickly broke free from the other party's control.

"This... this how is this possible! My Black Jade Thunder Black Qilin?"

Seeing the "Black Black Qilin" in mid-air, after losing its thunder light, appearing like a tiger that had lost its sharp teeth, allowing the green sword light to break free from its shackles, Ma Ma Wuchen, who had already widened his eyes, simply could not believe everything that was happening before him.

Since obtaining this magic treasure, this was the first time someone had broken his trump card; a trace of panic appeared on Ma Ma Wuchen's face.

But at this moment, not waiting for him to think more, the remaining power of the green sword light had already arrived not far before him; Ma Ma Wuchen could only wave his hand to quickly sacrifice a golden spiritual talisman, which transformed into a golden shield to block before him.

Fortunately, the second green sword light, after being devoured by the "Black Black Qilin," had its power weakened by more than half; Ma Ma Wuchen finally managed to block it with a third-tier top-quality spiritual talisman of good quality without any danger.

However, although he successfully blocked the other party's attack, Ma Ma Wuchen, who discovered that he had suddenly lost control of the "Black Black Qilin" in mid-air, was no longer happy at all, but instead showed a look of terror.

"What kind of ability did this guy practice to actually be able to imprison my Black Jade Thunder Black Qilin.

Terrible! I truly underestimated this person today and met an opponent. I cannot continue to entangle with him here; as long as the green hills remain, I don't have to worry about no firewood in the future."

After discovering that the situation was somewhat wrong, years of combat experience with others made him instinctively feel that the person before him seemed far more dangerous than he had imagined at the beginning.

He had truly tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice today, running head-on into an iron plate.

Thinking of this, Ma Ma Wuchen lost his fighting spirit, decisively putting away the black gourd before him.

Afterward, Ma Ma Wuchen did not care about the "Black Black Qilin" still imprisoned by Song Song Qingming in mid-air, turning to control the blood mist beside him, wanting to rush out from the weak point of the white scroll he had found earlier.

Seeing that Ma Ma Wuchen seemed to want to slip away, Song Song Qingming, who had just grabbed the "Black Black Qilin," did not care about it anymore, directly flashing into the white scroll behind him.

Soon, his figure used this magic treasure to stealthily swap positions, flying out from beside Ma Ma Wuchen on the other side.

"Fellow Daoist! The battle isn't over yet; why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Hearing Song Song Qingming's mocking voice from the side, Ma Ma Wuchen did not pay much attention, spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and then controlled the "Crimson Blood Mist" beside him to transform into a long spear, shooting straight at the white scroll ahead.

With a loud "Boom" sound, it soon rang in Song Song Qingming's ears, and the entire scroll shook violently along with it.

Seeing that the other party had truly become ruthless, prepared to spare no cost to escape from here, Song Song Qingming also immediately controlled the "Green Jade Bottle" magic treasure in his hand, beginning to pour in magic power to gather sword light.

Through his desperate strike, the white scroll before him, just as Ma Ma Wuchen had expected, had already appeared a crack and was difficult to persist for too long, which also made a look of triumph appear on his face.

Seeing this, Ma Ma Wuchen immediately cast a spell while continuing to attack, while summoning the five "Blood Corpse Puppets" outside to come and help.

Song Song Qingyu, who was entangled with the "Blood Corpse Puppets," seeing the opponent suddenly retreat to help, hurriedly took "Silver Armor" and the "White Lion Puppet Beast" to chase and block the opponent.

However, what surprised her somewhat was that these "Blood Corpse Puppets" seemed to have received a death order, completely ignoring Song Song Qingyu's attacks on them from behind, and began to crazily attack the white scroll not far away.

Although Song Song Qingyu had tried her best to block them and even killed one of the "Blood Corpse Puppets," she finally had no way to stop Ma Ma Wuchen from breaking free.

Not long after, only hearing a sound of the scroll shattering, with the help of the "Blood Corpse Puppets," Ma Ma Wuchen finally broke the white scroll and rushed out from inside.

"Bad! He's going to run."

Seeing Ma Ma Wuchen come out from the white scroll, looking panicked and wanting to escape with those "Blood Corpse Puppets," Song Song Qingyu immediately controlled the "Mysterious Gold Light Sword" to chase after him, wanting to entangle the opponent.

In the previous battle, Ma Ma Wuchen had already fought Song Song Qingyu, and seeing her chase after him, he naturally did not put Song Song Qingyu in his eyes, only controlling the two "Blood Corpse Puppets" behind him to go and intercept.

Just as Ma Ma Wuchen was controlling his escape light to flee rapidly, he suddenly felt a burst of pressure attacking from behind; turning around, he saw Song Song Qingyu holding a crimson spiritual talisman in her hand, currently casting a spell to activate the spiritual talisman in her hand.

"Quick, stop her!"

Sensing that the power of this red spiritual talisman in Song Song Qingyu's hand was not small, Ma Ma Wuchen immediately directed the two "Blood Corpse Puppets" nearby to go and intercept Song Song Qingyu's spellcasting.

But at this moment, Song Song Qingyu ignored everything, hard-fighting against the siege of the two "Blood Corpse Puppets," and poured all her magic power into the spiritual talisman in her hand; soon, a fire-red giant bird flew out from the spiritual talisman.

"You, you are simply courting death."

Seeing Song Song Qingyu actually fighting so desperately without retreating, Ma Ma Wuchen also became ruthless, while directing the two "Blood Corpse Puppets" beside Song Song Qingyu to block desperately.

While stopping to cast a spell, he then directly self-destructed one of the "Blood Corpse Puppets" currently besieging Song Song Qingyu.

Although this decisiveness made Ma Ma Wuchen somewhat heart-pained, it also successfully helped him stop Song Song Qingyu's spellcasting, causing her to lose the threat of the other party's spiritual talisman.

As Song Song Qingyu was shaken back by the self-destruction of the "Blood Corpse Puppet," that fire-red giant bird flickered in mid-air and then returned to the spiritual talisman tightly held by Song Song Qingyu in the distance.

After managing to repel Song Song Qingyu, Ma Ma Wuchen, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was about to turn and leave when he felt a burst of killing intent coming from afar again, followed by a cold voice that made him somewhat afraid, which went directly into Ma Ma Wuchen's ears.

"Fellow Daoist, wanting to leave today, I'm afraid that won't do; you'd better take my sword strike first!"

Ma Ma Wuchen had just looked up when the white scroll in the distance suddenly disappeared, revealing the figure of Song Song Qingming holding the "Green Jade Bottle."

As Song Song Qingming's voice fell, a green sword light that had already been accumulated before him flew directly toward Ma Ma Wuchen with an incomparably powerful momentum.

Seeing this scene, Ma Ma Wuchen widened his eyes, directly directing the remaining three "Blood Corpse Puppets" to block before him.

He himself spat out a mouthful of essence blood, merging it into the "Crimson Blood Mist" before him, and fled desperately into the distance.

In the previous great battle, the defensive magic treasures and spiritual talismans on Ma Ma Wuchen's body had almost all been exhausted, and he no longer had any defensive abilities.

And the third green sword light released by the "Green Jade Bottle" in Song Song Qingming's hand had power even greater than the previous two sword lights, already almost equivalent to five or six tenths of the full power of a Nascent Soul cultivator's strike.

Facing such an attack, Ma Ma Wuchen had no way to meet it head-on and could only abandon those few "Blood Corpse Puppets" and flee for his life in a panic.

But the three "Blood Corpse Puppets" that Ma Ma Wuchen had pinned his hopes on still failed to block the green sword light for a moment, being pierced through by one sword and directly shaken away.

Seeing this scene, Ma Ma Wuchen, who was fleeing in the distance, was full of shock and also somewhat at a loss, only able to throw out all the remaining defensive spiritual talismans of ordinary quality on his body.

However, the defensive capability of these things was truly limited and failed to block the sword light behind Ma Ma Wuchen.

Only hearing a somewhat desperate scream, Ma Ma Wuchen was cut in two by the sword light, falling from the sky with a look of unwillingness.

Seeing Ma Ma Wuchen successfully slain by himself, Song Song Qingming relaxed slightly at the corner of his mouth, immediately circulating the "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape" to transform into an escape light, arriving at the spot where Ma Ma Wuchen's corpse fell in a few flashes.

Just as he picked up the storage bag on the other party's body, Song Song Qingming felt a burst of slight spiritual energy fluctuation in the void in the distance.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingming took out a yellow spiritual talisman he carried with him without panic, casting a spell to shoot it into the distance.

Not long after, two iron chains suddenly shot out from the yellow spiritual talisman, locking a black phantom hiding in the void, and then directly pulling it into the spiritual talisman.

This third-tier mid-quality "Soul-Locking Talisman" was refined by Song Song Qingming himself.

Ever since he knew that Song Song Qingyu had almost been ambushed by a Jin Dan demon cultivator in Qinghe County, Song Song Qingming had basically carried a few such spiritual talismans specifically for dealing with the primordial spirits of high-tier demon cultivators whenever he went out over the years, just in case.

After his primordial spirit was directly sealed by the "Soul-Locking Talisman," Ma Ma Wuchen panicked and began to try to transmit his voice to beg for mercy.

"Fellow Daoist, do not kill me! This one knows some things that are very useful to you, which can help you increase the probability of advancing to Nascent Soul; as long as you can spare me..." (End of chapter)
