Medical Sage

Obviously, even with his status and power, when facing someone as formidable as Taoist Cang Kun, he dared not be careless.

The secret arts and sword techniques he mastered seemed to be pushed to the extreme in an instant!

Immediately! The surging spiritual light and rushing sword qi enveloped beneath the terrifying Mid-Grade Flying Sword Magical Artifact, slashing down in a terrifying vertical strike in front of Taoist Cang Kun’s head, creating a horrifying shockwave.

”Hehe.” Upon seeing this scene, Taoist Cang Kun merely curled his lips slightly with a smile. Without dodging or evading, the Azure Light Bamboo in his hand spiraled upward, directly confronting the incoming Flying Sword head-on.

Clang!

Rumble!

Bam bam bam bam...

This head-on collision directly caused streaks of sword qi and the azure light to explode like bombs, blasting outward in all directions. Clouds rolled, and waves crashed as they swept wildly around.

Faced with such a scene, a collision and impact that could be described as shocking to the heart! Even Iron One and the Eight Great Iron Guards felt a chill in their hearts at this moment.

Because now, they finally realized that during the previous exchanges with Qin Liefeng, he hadn’t been using his full strength! Otherwise, had he been this formidable, the eight of them combined wouldn’t stand a chance.

But unfortunately, Qin Liefeng’s opponent right now was not them but Cang Kun, known as Invincible under the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm!

Bam!

From the expressionless palm of Taoist Cang Kun emerged another terrifying surge of demon qi, striking directly at the startled Qin Liefeng, rolling demon qi, incomparably frightening, piercing through the air.

Pfft!

When this palm struck Qin Liefeng, although much of its power had been blocked by the sword qi, it still caused his entire body to tremble, his pupils to constrict, and an involuntary groan of pain escaped from his throat.

”Die!” Just then, from above Taoist Cang Kun’s figure, the figure of Lau Pang, Elder of Cloud Dragon Mountain, suddenly appeared.

Wielding a majestic Silver Ring Great Sword, emanating terrifying power, he descended from the sky.

In an instant, even the air seemed to drop by a segment in height.

Seeing this, Taoist Cang Kun’s eyes also slightly narrowed, exhaling loudly, his left palm exerting force, pushing back Qin Liefeng, while the Azure Light Bamboo in his right hand swiftly swung upward.

That sliver of azure light, at this moment, emitted a terrifying aura, sending chills down the spine.

”Lau Pang, be careful! That bamboo is not simple!” Feeling this aura, Qin Liefeng’s face promptly changed dramatically, shouting loudly as the energy and blood boiled violently in his chest.

It was only then that he noticed that even the bamboo in Taoist Cang Kun’s hand seemed anything but ordinary.

”I...” Lau Pang’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this, because how could he stop now?

Bam!

Crack!

Bam! Bam! Bam...

Almost the next moment, the azure aura of the Azure Light Bamboo, as vast and continuous as a raging tide, heavily collided with the Silver Ring Great Sword.

Instantly, an incredibly clear metallic shattering sound resounded in everyone’s ears. Crack, crack...

Pfft!

Soon after, Lau Pang’s entire figure flew up, spitting blood as he leaned back in a backward flight.

As for the Silver Ring Great Sword that initially existed in his hand, it shattered like a stone, under the horizontal strike of the azure light, it disintegrated into many pieces in an instant.

”Hiss!” Upon seeing this scene, everyone involuntarily gasped in shock, their faces aghast! Lau Pang was not Zhou Long but one of the illustrious Five Guardian Elders of Cloud Dragon Mountain, although not as formidable as Qin Liefeng, surely he shouldn’t be unable to withstand even a single move like this?

Then what’s the point of fighting?

”That bamboo in your hand, is it a Top Grade Magic Artifact?” Red Lion Daoist looked at Taoist Cang Kun’s Azure Light Bamboo with trembling complexion, his tone filled with endless dread, and asked.

Albeit, a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Refining Ninth Layer or Peak of Second Level Late Stage Beast, might barely be eligible to wield a Top Grade Magic Artifact, but the problem is, that’s a Top Grade Magic Artifact, how precious!

Even a regular Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert might not necessarily own one, so he never even considered it before, but now...

Able to shatter a Mid-Grade Magic Artifact in one strike, and take down a Top Expert of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, making him spit blood and fly backward with a single move! If it’s not a Top Grade Magic Artifact, then what is it?

”What? Top Grade Magic Artifact?” Upon hearing Red Lion Daoist’s words, Qin Liefeng’s expression drastically changed! Becoming incredibly fearful and trembling.

There’s no way around it, at his level and stature, just understanding what it means for an existence like Taoist Cang Kun to be combined with a Top Grade Magic Artifact! It means that not to mention the three of them, even if another three came, they’d all get consumed by the opposite side.

No wonder, no wonder from the very beginning, the other party hadn’t taken them seriously! Turns out, he had such a trump card and reliance.

Dammit, why is it like this. How could this old guy possibly have such a powerful treasure as a Top Grade Magic Artifact!?

”Is it that you won’t fight because it’s a Top Grade Magic Artifact? Or do you think I ever considered sparing you?”

Upon hearing this, Taoist Cang Kun chuckled softly, and then a chilling light flashed from his eyes. With a raise of his right hand, the Azure Light Bamboo shot out, its terrifying spiritual light surging forth like morning sunlight.

”Hiss!”

”Run!”

Seeing this scenario, even Qin Liefeng and Red Lion Daoist felt a tinge of dread at this moment.

With the Top Grade Magic Artifact in hand, Taoist Cang Kun was clearly an opponent they couldn’t possibly withstand.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

And so, in the next moment, those who had been previously aggressive and confident—thinking they could win as three against one, including Red Lion Daoist and Qin Liefeng—now, without hesitation, turned around and fled with terrified expressions at the fastest speed, like panic-stricken dogs.

No way, if Taoist Cang Kun didn’t have such a lethal Top Grade Magic Artifact, maybe they could still try to fight. But now! With the Top Grade Magic Artifact in hand, what chance did they have? Whether they could even escape was another matter.

”Hiss! Top, Top Grade Magic Artifact?”

”This, this, this... No wonder even the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert of Cloud Dragon Mountain, Yu Tan Taoist, couldn’t handle Taoist Cang Kun. Turns out he has such a valuable treasure in his hand.”

”I think it’s not just the merit of the Top Grade Magic Artifact, right? If it were truly only because of the artifact, then why hasn’t a Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert just taken it from him?”

”Indeed, I know quite a few Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts who aren’t doing particularly well, and they don’t have Top Grade Magic Artifacts in their possession. If they knew that Taoist Cang Kun had one, would they not be tempted to seize it?”

”True.”

...

And witnessing this abrupt 365-degree turn of events, everyone present was utterly amazed.

Although their cultivation realm was lower, they understood full well what the mention of a Low Grade Magic Artifact meant.

To put it this way, any peak powerhouse of Qi Refining Ninth Layer who possesses a Top Grade Magic Artifact, their combat power would absolutely double!

Furthermore, we’re not even talking about peak powerhouses of Qi Refining Ninth Layer; even the somewhat weaker Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts would greatly enhance their combat power with a Top Grade Magic Artifact.

But the problem is, such items are exceedingly rare and extremely precious! They’re worth a fortune, so even a few, relatively less successful Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts don’t possess such treasures! And now?

And now Taoist Cang Kun simply and neatly produced one, which was shocking to everyone. But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

With a Top Grade Magic Artifact in hand, combined with his terrifyingly powerful strength, no wonder even the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert, Yu Tan Taoist, from Cloud Dragon Mountain couldn’t do anything to him.

Meanwhile, Yu Tan Taoist didn’t have a Top Grade Magic Artifact in his possession.

”Run?” Upon hearing this, Taoist Cang Kun’s face revealed a hint of mockery. Then he turned to face Iron One and the Eight Great Iron Guards, smilingly saying, ”Please, lend me a hand to block one. Leave the rest to me.”

The Eight Great Iron Guards were momentarily stunned. However, they quickly reacted, and with a united spirit, demon light rolled out of them as they launched themselves at Qin Liefeng without hesitation.

Even if their strength is inferior to their opponents’, merely holding them back wouldn’t be too worrying. They were confident in their ability for this.

”Damn!” Feeling the overwhelming power of formation patterns surging from behind, Qin Liefeng’s face turned extremely grim.

But evidently, no matter how angry he was now, he had no choice but to flee. If he waited for Taoist Cang Kun to catch up, what then? Would he be able to face that Top Grade Magic Artifact? It would be suicidal.

Yet Iron One and the Eight Great Iron Guards clearly wouldn’t let him escape easily. In this territory of the Enlightened Deity Cave, within dozens of miles of forest, it was their home turf, which they knew inside out. The opponent wouldn’t be able to escape.

Meanwhile, Taoist Cang Kun had already made another move.

His gaze was as hard as stone, glowing coldly as he looked at Lau Pang, whom he had first sent flying, following the principle of ’strike while they’re down,’ he went after him again. His entire body emitted terrifying, rolling azure demon light that emerged from within him.

At the same time, the vast expanse of azure light from the Azure Light Bamboo also flew forward, firmly locked onto Red Lion Daoist’s back, causing his spiritual energy face to change drastically, feeling horrified.

”Island Master Cang Kun, I, Red Lion, have no intention of being your enemy... Don’t go too far.” Subsequently, Red Lion Daoist shouted in anger, his face grim and panicked.

But this time, Taoist Cang Kun completely ignored him. He was enveloped in the rolling azure terrifying demon light, attacking the already injured Lau Pang, dragging a terrifying demon aura with him, his right fist like azure ice, crashing down.

Bang!

The punch struck Lau Pang’s chest, whose face was already filled with horror and despair!

The rolling spiritual light shattered, and blood spurted wildly from Lau Pang’s chest, forming a bloody hole.

”No, no, ah...” The latter cried out in agony, trying to resist, but found himself completely incapable of doing so.

No way, Taoist Cang Kun holding the Azure Light Bamboo was truly too strong! So strong that he had no means to resist whatsoever.

”You, you can’t kill me. I am one of the Five Guardian Elders of Cloud Dragon Mountain, and Cloud Dragon Mountain has Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts.” Even in dying moments, Lau Pang didn’t forget to threaten Taoist Cang Kun, shrieking.
