C28 True Essence Knife

Zhang Yicheng, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.

Then, Zhang Yicheng suddenly raised his right hand and waved it towards the black-robed man. As he did so, a crescent-shaped, milky-white true essence blade instantly appeared in front of the black-robed man.

He had already exchanged blows with Zhang Yichen for several dozen rounds. Although Zhang Yicheng was not his match, it was still impossible for Zhang Yicheng to break through his defense in a short period of time.

Although the black-robed man knew that he was unable to break through his defenses, it was still the first time that he had seen Zhang Yichen use such an offensive method. Thus, he did not let his guard down as the mana within his body frantically surged towards the ancient jade pendant in his hand.

At the moment when his mana poured in crazily, the black robed man's protective shield became even more solid. Moreover, a faint white light was emitted. It was obvious that this was the pinnacle of his defensive magic tool.

"Brat, you are courting death. In that case, you should prepare to endure the anger of my Yin Clan. The entire cultivation world is still …" The black-robed man shouted angrily at Zhang Yicheng.

However, before he could finish speaking, his eyes became filled with panic. This was because when Zhang Yicheng's true essence saber came into contact with the black robed man's protective shield, the protective shield, which had remained unmoving despite Zhang Yicheng's previous actions, actually began to show signs of crumbling the moment it came into contact with the true essence blade.

Dense spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the shield and the cracks continued to spread rapidly in all directions. When the cracks reached the surface of the shield, the shield started to crack.

The time of three breaths quickly passed, and the protective barrier disappeared into nothingness with a "bo" sound.

In the moment that the shield broke, the black-clothed man didn't have time to respond. He was cut in half by the true essence knife.

Blood flowed down the ground and soon formed an outline on the simple drawing on the ground. The moment the outline was completed, the entire design emitted a piercing red light and the three beads beside Fang Xiaoyu also instantly filled the entire surface of the bead with blood.

The three pearls respectively shot out a red light towards the top of Fang Xiaoyu's head. Within the span of a few breaths, a large amount of red light gathered and formed a human figure.

He knew that the sacrifice should have started from the mouth of Black Robe. Although he did not know why the sacrifice required the blood of a pure Yin woman to activate, or why it was activated by the blood of the black-robed man, he still knew that he had to stop it immediately. Otherwise, when the red light took human form, Fang Xiaoyu would be dead.

However, because he had used the True Essence Saber just now, it had drained all of his true essence. At this time, it could be said that he was completely exhausted, and it was impossible for him to even move a finger.

However, even though this was the case, the Spirit Dao Arts within his body were still circulating with all their might. At this moment, he was contending against the red light to see who would be able to move first.

If Zhang Yicheng moved first, then as long as he destroyed the three red light beads, then the red light wouldn't be able to make it. But if the red light formed into a person succeeded first, then what awaited Zhang Yicheng and Fang Xiaoyu would be death.

The person condensed by the red light had already materialized his arm. As long as he could condense his leg again, he would be able to move freely.

Zhang Yi Chen's heart was burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do. He could only desperately absorb the surrounding Yin Qi and transform it into his own true essence.

Just as the red cloud was about to complete its condensation, Zhang Yichen finally recovered some of the primeval essence in his body. Before he had the time to check the other party's situation, he leaped in front of a pearl and grabbed it with his hand.

"Crack." The blood-red pearl shattered in response. However, the moment the pearl was shattered, Zhang Yicheng was able to sense that an extremely pure yin energy was being emitted from the pearl, many times purer and purer than the yin energy in the surroundings.

When the bead shattered, the red cloud's wiggling speed slowed down, and a small part of the red cloud also disappeared.

However, Zhang Yicheng didn't notice this. All of his attention was focused on the second bead. He was using the same trick as before.

The instant Zhang Yicheng grabbed onto the second bead, the red cloud finally turned into a person. Besides its skin being blood-red, it was no different from a real person.

He then shouted towards Zhang Yicheng, "You dare."

However, when he spoke, Zhang Yicheng had already shattered the pearl.

As for the blood-red man, he seemed to have lost something to rely on as his body slowly evaporated into thin air as if he was made of water.

"Good boy, you are ruining my grand matter. When I revive, it will be the time of your death." Just as the blood-red man's head was about to disappear, these words came out of his mouth in an intermittent manner.

Hearing those words, Zhang Yicheng instantly became quick-witted. Although he didn't know who the other person was, based on the rebirth within those words, Zhang Yicheng was able to know that the other person was definitely a very powerful figure.

"So what if he's revived? When the time comes, who knows who's going to deal with whom?" Zhang Yi Chen looked at the spot where the blood-red man disappeared, Lan Lan said to herself.

Even though he said that, he still frowned because he didn't know what kind of cultivation level she would have after her rebirth.

With Zhang Yicheng's understanding of resurrection, his cultivation would definitely drop. However, how many levels he would lose would depend on the method he used to revive him as well as his current strength.

"Forget it. Let's first settle the matter before us. No matter how high the cultivation of the other party is, reviving him is not something that can be done in a short period of time."

Zhang Yicheng swept his gaze over the floor.

The two magic tools were scattered on the ground. As for the offering bead, it had once again turned ashen due to the disappearance of the red cloud.

However, Zhang Yichen was still able to see some red lines on the surface of the bead. It seemed that these red lines were the marks he had left behind after absorbing the black-robed man's blood.

Zhang Yi Chen directly walked over to the grey-white bead and the two magic tools and put them into his pocket. However, just as he was about to turn around and take a look at Fang Xiao Yu's situation, a cloth bag on the black-robed man's corpse attracted Zhang Yi Chen's attention.

If it was an old man with a cloth bag on his body, Zhang Yicheng wouldn't find it strange. However, who was this black robed man?! He was a cultivator, and judging from his tone, he seemed to be someone from some sort of great clan. How could he not bring such a person along when he was free?

Zhang Yi Chen stretched out his hand and took it off. It was warm and smooth to the touch and was not made of the same material as the previous ones. Instead, it was a material that Zhang Yi Chen had never seen before and there was even a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy on the surface of the bag.

"A storage bag." Zhang Yicheng opened his eyes wide.

As cultivators, they would usually have many materials, magic tools, or cultivation techniques to store, and the cave wouldn't be too safe. Thus, the best way to keep a storage bag was to carry it on one's person.

Zhang Yicheng directly entered his storage pouch and easily investigated the situation inside. Of course, there was also the black-robed man whose cultivation was much lower than Zhang Yicheng's. Furthermore, he was already dead, which was why Zhang Yichen was so easy.

Although it was just a casual sweep, he had a rough understanding of the situation. There were about two to three cubic meters of space with a few things scattered around.

However, he didn't care about it at the moment. He casually put it in his bag and headed towards the place where Fang Xiaoyu had fainted. Of course, when he left, he also used a fireball to turn the body of the black-robed man into ashes.

As for why it was useless against the black-cloaked person, the current Fireball Technique was too useless against him. Although the power of the fireball was not bad, its speed was too slow, and time was required in preparation.

When he arrived in front of Fang Xiaoyu, Zhang Yicheng was finally able to see her face clearly.

She had a beautiful oval face, jet-black long hair, and was wearing a white one-piece. She wasn't much different from what Zhang Yicheng remembered.

However, her face was pale. Although she was in a coma, her long eyelashes were constantly trembling. It was as if her body was suffering some sort of pain.
