Ye Xiu greeted Tang Luor and Zhao Wentong as they sat down at Uncle Two's house, then set off alone, using the Azure Cloud Formula to pursue the Yellow-Robed Taoist.
Although Ye Xiu had only mastered the first level of the Azure Cloud Formula, his speed was unmatched by most.
Before long, he could see the figure of the Yellow-Robed Taoist ahead.
The Taoist felt a chill behind him and turned around suddenly, but found nothing unusual.
When he turned back around, he was startled!
When did someone appear right in front of him?
Just moments ago, there had been no one around!
Upon closer inspection, he realized that this person was the one who had noticed his tricks during the ghost-exorcising earlier.
If it weren't for his secret being discovered and the other party having more people, he would have certainly swindled a large sum of money!
A wise man does not suffer losses in front of him; he had already left, yet unexpectedly, the other party had chased after him.
Initially, seeing just one person made him think he could teach him a lesson. However, the speed at which Ye Xiu was closing in was astonishing.
If he hadn't clearly sensed that Ye Xiu's cultivation was at the lower level of Spirit Jade Realm, he would have assumed from his speed that he was at Spirit Realm!
What could he do against an opponent from Spirit Realm?
Run?
Can you escape?
Fortunately, the person in front of him was only at the Spirit Jade Realm.
Although a tricky opponent, it was not impossible to fight.
"What is your situation?" Ye Xiu asked.
As soon as Ye Xiu's words fell, a Peach Wood Sword lunged toward him.
Such a clumsy attack was easily dodged by Ye Xiu.
Clearly, the Yellow Robed Daoist did not expect this attack to be effective. He pulled out a Yellow Talisman and brushed it against the sword, enveloping the Peach Wood Sword in a layer of light.
"Show me your weapon!" The Yellow Robed Daoist's gaze was sharp.
What era is this? Show your weapon? A duel?
Heh heh.
A smile crept onto Ye Xiu's lips as he took out a Silver Needle. "Let's play a bit."
The Yellow Robed Daoist squinted, examining it closely. "Embroidered Needle???"
"Yes, it's my weapon," Ye Xiu replied calmly.
The Yellow Robed Daoist's fighting spirit diminished significantly as he faced a Peach Wood Sword against an Embroidered Needle.
Winning would be a hollow victory, and losing would bring shame!
However, before the Yellow Robed Daoist could react, Ye Xiu charged forward.
At that moment, Ye Xiu had not activated the Azure Cloud Formula. The Daoist's cultivation was not much different from his own, so he figured it would be a good opportunity to practice. Besides, he had no deep-seated grudge against him, so there was no need to go all out.
Ye Xiu reached the Daoist's side and thrust the Silver Needle toward his face.
The Yellow Robed Daoist clearly did not understand the Silver Needle and assumed it was a weapon. If he had known from the start that Ye Xiu intended to stab him with it, he would have been more cautious.
As expected, the Daoist raised his Peach Wood Sword to block the Silver Needle.
Given the nature of the Embroidered Needle and Ye Xiu's initial speed in closing the distance, the Yellow Robed Daoist did not dare to underestimate it and treated it as a mysterious weapon.
When the Silver Needle collided with the Peach Wood Sword, unexpectedly, the protective barrier around the Peach Wood Sword shattered like glass.
The Daoist was taken aback!
Even an attack of equal level should not easily break his Peach Wood Sword!
Ye Xiu was also surprised that the Daoist's Peach Wood Sword was so fragile.
The Silver Needle was the first needle of Master Zuo's Seven Needles and was itself a pseudo-immortal artifact. Its hardness was already impressive, and considering that Ye Xiu focused all his strength into that single point when stabbing at the barrier of the Peach Wood Sword, it was no wonder that the Daoist's weapon was easily destroyed.
"Your weapon..."
The Daoist interrupted Ye Xiu, pulling out three talismans from behind and tossing them forward. He swung the Peach Wood Sword, sweeping across the three talismans, which ignited and emitted an even brighter light that enveloped the blade of the Peach Wood Sword.
"Stop talking nonsense! Take this!"
The Daoist charged at Ye Xiu, who leaped past him. The Daoist slid underneath, raising the Peach Wood Sword to sweep upward.
Ye Xiu wrapped his Silver Needle in spiritual energy to block the Peach Wood Sword while using his other hand, also enveloped in spiritual energy, to strike at the Daoist.
The Daoist was taken aback, clearly not expecting this move. It was supposed to be a duel of weapons, yet Ye Xiu had chosen to attack with his other hand.
Realizing this, the Daoist couldn't help but mock himself. After all, he was facing a stranger; in a life-and-death duel, who would simply compete with weapons?
The Daoist bent his legs, pressing close to the ground, slowly lowering his back until it touched the earth.
Ye Xiu would not let such a good opportunity slip away and relentlessly pursued him with the Silver Needle.
The Daoist tightened his grip on the Peach Wood Sword, withdrawing some strength from the hand that was blocking the Silver Needle and successfully deflecting Ye Xiu's punch with his left hand.
In this round, neither of their attacks had succeeded. However, what frustrated the Daoist was that the Peach Wood Sword, enhanced by the three talismans, had been broken by Ye Xiu's Silver Needle!
This was supposed to be three times more powerful than just one talisman!
Once again, it proved to be so easily defeated!
If the Daoist observed closely, he would notice that this time Ye Xiu had infused his Peach Wood Sword with his own spiritual power. Therefore, while it was normal for him to break through a barrier formed by a talisman without any added spiritual power, it was even more expected that the Silver Needle, now enhanced with spiritual energy, could shatter three layers of talismanic protection.
The Daoist frowned; indeed, this person's weapon, the Silver Needle, was formidable!
"Your weapon is broken again."
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, the Daoist reached behind his back and pulled out a talisman, the Yellow Talisman mixed with a hint of black.
He tossed the talisman into the air, revealing ten talismans—nine yellow and one black.
The nine Yellow Talismans soared into the sky, landing in three groups to form a triangle, with the Black Talisman at the center.
A formation! Another formation!
The nine Yellow Talismans ignited and began to close in on the Black Talisman, which trembled as if it were alive, struggling to escape.
However, the nine burning talismans had already transformed into a sphere of light that consumed the Black Talisman entirely.
This formation came to an end as the black sphere descended, wrapping around the tip of the Daoist's Peach Wood Sword.
The Peach Wood Sword turned black, its brilliance dimmer than when it had been merely a Yellow Talisman.
Once everything was set, the Daoist regained his confident demeanor; this confidence stemmed from his trust in his weapon.
"This time, let's see how you break through!"
Ye Xiu understood the value of the Black Talisman and the energy it contained, so he did not dare to be careless at this moment.
The Daoist confidently thrust out the Peach Wood Sword, clearly intending to engage in a forceful weapon clash.
As he wished, Ye Xiu infused his spiritual power into the Silver Needle and thrust it directly at the tip of the Black Peach Wood Sword.
This time, the Black Peach Wood Sword knocked the Silver Needle away and aimed straight for Ye Xiu's arm.
Ye Xiu quickly retracted his arm using the Azure Cloud Formula.
The two stood firm once more.
A streak of red appeared on Ye Xiu's arm; it had been too late. The strange Black Peach Wood Sword had pierced through Ye Xiu's arm. Even the Azure Cloud Formula could not evade it.
The Yellow Robed Daoist raised a confident smile.
Ye Xiu waved his right hand, and the Silver Needle that had been knocked away flew back to him, being grasped firmly once again.
