Upon advancing to the Void Refining Middle Period, his Divine Consciousness also ascended from the Late Period to Void Refining Perfection.
Grasping the Killing Saber, Qin Buyi whirled around and delivered a fierce slash behind him.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Slaughter!"
The vibrating Killing Saber clashed mightily with the Northern Dipper Sword Formation.
"Boom!"
The resounding explosion forced Qin Buyi to stagger back several steps, his brow furrowing as he faced the relentless advance of the Northern Dipper Sword Formation.
The intensity of the Northern Dipper Sword Formation had clearly surpassed Qin Buyi's predictions.
With the formation bearing down on him once more, Qin Buyi channeled all his power into the Killing Saber.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Extermination!"
A colossal moon, spanning thousands of kilometers, materialized in the arena.
Within the moon, tens of thousands of phantom Killing Sabers coalesced, their tips aiming at the Northern Dipper Sword Formation.
"Slash!"
At Qin Buyi's command, the legion of phantom Killing Sabers descended upon the Northern Dipper Sword Formation.
"Clang!" "Clank!" "Clang!"...
The dense symphony of clashing steel echoed from within the moon.
As the moon faded, the Northern Dipper Sword Formation's onslaught persisted, unyielding in its pursuit of Qin Buyi.
Eyes narrowing, Qin Buyi glanced at Taoist Priest Kunxu, who was manipulating the sword formation from afar, and a strategy swiftly took shape in his mind.
If the problem couldn't be resolved, then he would eliminate the one who had caused it.
Qin Buyi traced a flawless angle through the air, his blade in hand as he lunged at Taoist Priest Kunxu.
Taoist Priest Kunxu, witnessing Qin Buyi's aggressive approach, felt a shiver in his heart and quickly altered the magic spell directing the Big Dipper Sword Formation.
"Big Dipper Sword Formation: Accelerate!"
The Big Dipper Sword Formation, hot on Qin Buyi's heels, surged in speed.
"Whoosh!"
The formation, moving at breakneck speed, generated a sonic boom.
In an instant, it overtook Qin Buyi, forming an impenetrable wall of swords ahead of him.
Thwarted, Qin Buyi veered off, relentlessly pursuing Taoist Priest Kunxu.
With a disdainful snort, Taoist Priest Kunxu commanded, "Big Dipper Sword Formation: Encircle!"
The sword wall, conjured by the formation, materialized around Qin Buyi, ensnaring him tightly.
"Big Dipper Sword Formation: Assault!"
The seven Flying Swords comprising the formation lunged at Qin Buyi, now ensnared within.
"Clang!"
"Clash!"
Qin Buyi, saber poised, parried the onslaught.
He managed to fend off the attacks initially, but as the battle wore on...
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
...
"Chi!"
"Chi!"
...
Wounds began to mar Qin Buyi's body, each one bone-deep.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Massacre!"
With all his might, Qin Buyi brandished the Killing Saber, striking at the relentless Flying Swords.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
"Clang!"
Taoist Priest Kunxu, watching Qin Buyi's desperate defense within the sword formation, taunted him, "Such a paltry trick, and yet you dare to flaunt it so shamelessly?"
Amidst Qin Buyi's struggle within the Big Dipper Sword Formation, a thunderous noise erupted in the distance.
"Boom!"
Both Qin Buyi and Taoist Priest Kunxu turned their attention toward the source of the commotion.
There, Hongxiu, who had vanished at the battle's onset, emerged once again.
Delighted by Hongxiu's return, Taoist Priest Kunxu eagerly called out, "Fellow Daoist Hongxiu, lend me your strength!"
Hongxiu seemed oblivious to Taoist Priest Kunxu's calls, her gaze fixed on him with a vacant stare. After a few seconds of locked eyes, she let out a terrified scream and bolted away without a backward glance, as if pursued by some unspeakable horror.
Taoist Priest Kunxu watched, baffled by her behavior. Then, in the next instant, he witnessed a chilling transformation. The fleeing Hongxiu aged rapidly, within mere seconds...
She went from a beautiful young woman to a decrepit old crone, reeking of decay.
The aging didn't cease with her transformation; it continued relentlessly.
Moments later, Hongxiu's life force abruptly ceased, and her body plummeted from the sky.
Azure, the Azure Dragon, unleashed a thunderous roar over Hongxiu's remains. Following the roar, her body shattered, scattering into fragments. With a swift motion, Azure plucked Hongxiu's storage ring from the debris and soared toward Qin Buyi.
Taoist Priest Kunxu, witnessing Hongxiu's tragic end and Azure's imminent rendezvous with Qin Buyi, felt a surge of concern. "If that dragon joins forces with Qin Buyi, we'll be in deep trouble," he muttered.
With a grimace, Kunxu made a decisive move, igniting his own lifeblood.
"Heavenly Sword! Earth Sword! Human Sword! Kunlun Secret Skill: Three Talents Sword Array!" he chanted, unleashing three flying swords that zipped toward Azure.
But that wasn't all. Spewing another mouthful of vital blood, he invoked,
"Kunlun Secret Skill: Immortal Killing Sword! Kunlun Secret Skill: Immortal Slaying Sword! Kunlun Secret Skill: Immortal Ending Sword! Kunlun Secret Skill: Immortal Trapping Sword! Kunlun Secret Skill: Immortal Killing Sword Array!"
Four more swords burst forth, each taking a position and speeding towards Azure. The Azure Dragon, nearly within reach of Qin Buyi, found its path blocked by Taoist Priest Kunxu. The combined might of the Three Talents Sword Array and the Immortal Killing Sword Array sealed off all escape routes for Azure.
Azure's mighty dragon form crashed against the sword array, sending waves rippling through it before tranquility was restored.
After repeated, futile attempts to break through the sword array, Azure's voice echoed from within:
"Azure Dragon Battle Technique: Dragon Breath!"
Azure inhaled deeply, then directed a scorching flame at the sword array.
"Sizzle~"
"Sizzle~"
The sound of melting ice and snow emanated from within.
Once the flames vanished, the Three Elemental Sword Array and Immortal Killing Sword Array bore a seared gap.
Out of the seven Flying Swords, two were utterly incinerated.
Taoist Priest Kunxu's eyes betrayed his anguish.
Azure soared through the breach in the sword array, coming to a halt beside Qin Buyi, who was ensnared in the North Star Sword Array.
"Azure Dragon Battle Technique: Dragon Breath!"
Azure repeated the maneuver, inhaling sharply before unleashing a blast of intense flame upon the North Star Sword Array.
"Sizzle~"
"Sizzle~"
Again, the sound of dissolving ice and snow filled the air.
After the flames had cleared, one of the seven Flying Swords comprising the North Star Sword Array had been reduced to ashes.
Qin Buyi escaped through the gap left by the destroyed Flying Sword, joining Azure.
Azure extended its dragon claw, offering a Storage Ring that had belonged to the deceased Hongxiu.
Qin Buyi accepted the Storage Ring and promptly submitted it to the System Mall for recycling.
Ding! Evaluating item value...
Ding! Evaluation complete. Total value: 1,000 Merchant Points.
He exchanged the thousand points for fifty attribute points and immediately applied them to himself.

With his cultivation level elevated once again, Qin Buyi turned to Azure and sent a telepathic message: "Azure, let's go on the offensive together!"
Now, with Azure's support, Qin Buyi could confidently unleash his most powerful technique, the Killing Saber Technique.
"Killing Swordsmanship: Soul Dispersing!"
The Killing Saber vanished from Qin Buyi's grasp, reappearing within his sea of consciousness.
Divine Consciousness from within the sea surged into the Killing Saber's blade, turning it a brilliant gold.
A second later, the palm-sized Killing Saber materialized before Qin Buyi, hurtling towards Taoist Priest Kunxu.
"Whoosh!"
The Killing Saber, moving with incredible speed, generated sonic booms as it reached Taoist Priest Kunxu in an instant.
Taoist Priest Kunxu, confronted with the Divine Consciousness attack, spun around to escape.
Simultaneously, he manipulated the remaining flying swords to maintain a sword array, pressing the attack on Qin Buyi.
"Kunlun Secret Skill: Big Dipper Formation!"
"Kunlun Secret Skill: Immortal Killing Sword Array!"
As Taoist Priest Kunxu attempted to disrupt Qin Buyi, hoping to compel him to retract the Killing Saber for his own defense and abandon his assault—
Azure was already lying in wait in the direction of Taoist Priest Kunxu's retreat, ready to unleash a scorching flame.
"Azure Dragon Battle Technique: Dragon Breath!"
Already depleted from burning his blood essence earlier, Taoist Priest Kunxu now had to evade the Divine Consciousness attack from the trailing Killing Saber.
Furthermore, he was tasked with commanding two formidable sword arrays in his offensive against Qin Buyi, effectively multitasking.
Distracted, Taoist Priest Kunxu failed to immediately respond to Azure's attack.
By the time he realized the danger, it was too late. In his haste, Taoist Priest Kunxu could only muster a rudimentary spiritual energy shield around his body.
The Dragon Breath didn't go to waste; it engulfed Taoist Priest Kunxu completely, sizzling as it seared his flesh.
A savory scent of charred flesh wafted from Taoist Priest Kunxu...
As the Dragon Breath cleared, Taoist Priest Kunxu was left charred from head to toe, his clothes burnt to tatters.
His eyebrows and hair were completely singed off, and his skin bore severe burns.
Despite the excruciating pain, Taoist Priest Kunxu glared at Azure, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and spat out venomously:
"You damned creature, once I catch you, I'll flay and dismember you."
In the midst of his furious tirade, the Killing Saber, which had been trailing him, slipped into his sea of consciousness.
Realizing the Killing Saber had penetrated his innermost sanctum, Taoist Priest Kunxu inwardly cursed, "This is bad!"
Caught off guard by Azure's Dragon Breath, he had overlooked the most perilous strike.
Within Taoist Priest Kunxu's sea of consciousness, the Killing Saber began its relentless assault.
"Boom!"
With the first strike of the Killing Saber, a thunderous explosion echoed in Taoist Priest Kunxu's ears.
His mind was suddenly engulfed in darkness...
