"Han Li, you forced me!"
Wang Qi, with a look of determination to die, was unusually decisive, using his essence blood to perform a blood sacrifice on the disk Magical Artifact.
Normally, he would never dare, as the price was too heavy.
Feeling the magical power fluctuations emanating from the disk, Li Feiyu was extremely shocked.
"What kind of Magical Artifact is this? Could it be a Magic Treasure? How can its power be so strong!"
"But, how could Wang Qi, a severely injured tenth-level Qi Refining stage Cultivator, possibly unleash such powerful might even if he had a Magic Treasure!"
Li Feiyu didn't have time to think; now he also had to reveal his trump card.
He slapped his Storage Pouch, and a small, black hammer immediately flew out, shining brightly.
"Spell Amulet?"
"You actually have a Spell Amulet?!"
Wang Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with hatred.
If only considering power, a Magic Treasure is naturally far stronger than a Spell Amulet. After all, an ordinary Spell Amulet can only unleash about ten percent of a Magic Treasure's power, but Magic Treasures can only be used by Core Formation Cultivators, while Spell Amulets can be used by Qi Refining stage Cultivators.
Spell Amulets are the power imprinted from Magic Treasures, which is very convenient, but they also have a weakness: limited uses.
He originally thought victory was assured, but who would have thought the other party actually had a Spell Amulet? A guy who was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining stage made Wang Qi incredibly jealous.
Now, he only hoped that the power of his disk Magical Artifact could surpass the opponent's Spell Amulet, otherwise his fate would certainly be tragic!
Li Feiyu continuously poured his magical power into the Spell Amulet, and in the blink of an eye, it absorbed nearly fifty percent of his magical power.
Although his face was a little pale, he gritted his teeth and persisted, continuing to activate the Spell Amulet.
After all, this magical power had already been spent, so he couldn't give up halfway.
"Spell Amulet, Demon Cloud Hammer, go!"
Rumble~
A dark, Devilish Qi-entwined great hammer appeared in the air, stirring the surrounding air, forming streaks of demonic clouds around it.
The demonic clouds covered the sky and obscured the sun and moon.
The Spell Amulet, Demon Cloud Hammer rushed towards Wang Qi. Wang Qi once again forced out a wisp of essence blood, which was quickly absorbed by the disk, emitting an eerie red light, like a red moon.
Clang~
The Spell Amulet, Demon Cloud Hammer collided with the disk, erupting with immense power, with surging air currents and howling winds, as if countless Yin souls were wailing within!
Waves of powerful magical power fluctuations spread out, impacting all directions.
Trees close by were all uprooted and sent flying.
Li Feiyu was sent flying backward by the impact, grunted, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He clutched his chest, stabilized his breathing, then took out a Medicinal Pill to restore his injuries and immediately swallowed it.
Compared to Li Feiyu, Wang Qi appeared even more miserable.
His black robe was nowhere to be seen, he had many wounds on his body, his face was pale, and his aura was weak.
The disk slowly rotated around him, having shrunk.
"It didn't break through. Is it really a Magic Treasure?"
Li Feiyu frowned deeply; a Spell Amulet wasn't something that could be activated casually. With his remaining magical power, he could no longer activate it, and a thought of escaping suddenly arose in his mind.
But if he let Wang Qi escape, there would inevitably be endless troubles, not only for himself but also for Zhang Xiuer and the three little ones.
The previous time was short, and Wang Qi hadn't had time to think carefully, but now, he probably also realized that the family had a close relationship with him.
"No, I absolutely cannot let him go!"
Li Feiyu's resolve firmed in his heart; even if he paid a heavy price, he had to keep Wang Qi.
Just as he was about to activate his Lifespan to unleash his potential and forcefully activate the Spell Amulet again, suddenly, a series of eerie black Qi erupted from the disk beside Wang Qi.
From within the black Qi came horrifying, shrill screams, as if countless Yin souls were roaring in anger!
"No, no!"
Wang Qi's voice was filled with terror, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.
Under the attack of the black Qi, Wang Qi's aura plummeted.
"Magic Treasure backlash?"
Seeing such a scene for the first time, Li Feiyu still felt lingering fear.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, "Oh no, this Magic Treasure is fighting with me for food?"
If Li Feiyu wanted to seize the other party's Lifespan, he had to be the one to kill him in the end, otherwise the Lifespan wouldn't reach him.
"Damn it!"
Li Feiyu ignored the strangeness of the disk and rushed over directly.
"Blazing Fire True Flame!"
This was a Spell from the Inferno Apex Meridian Art . The flame was extremely fierce and domineering, containing the Qi of extreme yang, and its power was much stronger than an ordinary Fireball Spell.
Boom~
The disk's power immediately greatly diminished after being attacked by the flames. After all, it was just an object, and without a Cultivator providing magical power, its unleashed power was limited.
"Azure Edge, go!"
The High Grade Magical Artifact longsword flew out, and with a "ding," it struck the disk away, and the terrifying black Qi disappeared.
At this moment, Wang Qi's face was withered, clearly having lost a large amount of essence blood. He was weak and limp, and even the magical power to maintain flight was almost gone.
"It really is a strange Magic Treasure," Li Feiyu muttered to himself.
Wang Qi saw Li Feiyu save him and forced a very strained smile on his face.
A green sword light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and then he found Li Feiyu's figure turning upside down and moving further and further away from him.
He had a faint smile on his face, muttering something.
"No need to thank me, I told you, I'm the one who will take your life!"
Li Feiyu summoned Wang Qi's Storage Pouch, then condensed two fireballs and shot them at his head and body.
Before he even hit the ground, he turned into a pile of ashes, scattered by the wind.
Li Feiyu glanced at the disk floating in the air, thought for a moment, and then summoned it into his Storage Pouch.
Afterward, he scanned the surroundings with his Divine Thought, and after confirming no one was present, he flew towards the city.
Back home, he checked Wang Qi's Storage Pouch.
"One Ghost Spirit Sect identity token, one High Grade, two Medium Grade Magical Artifacts, dozens of Spirit Stones. He's really poor."
"'Illusory Spirit Escape Great Art', 'Ghost Spirit Art', 'Ghost Spirit Banner Refining'."
Looking at these items, Li Feiyu sighed slightly, "Indeed, not every Cultivator is as rich as Xu Changfeng."
"Never mind, let's study that disk Magic Treasure first."
Li Feiyu took it out of his Storage Pouch, his expression solemn.
Although he had witnessed it devouring its master, it was undeniable that its unleashed power was very strong and could definitely serve as a trump card.
Li Feiyu began to attempt to refine it. During the refining process, the disk erupted with bursts of black mist, within which were pairs of blood-red eyes, staring intently at Li Feiyu.
Inside the room, cold winds howled and Yin souls roared, making the doors and windows bang loudly, until Li Feiyu refined it, and then it completely disappeared.
"Soul Devouring Yin Plate, a damaged ancient treasure. In its prime, it could accommodate nine Nascent Soul Yin spirits, thirty-six Golden Cores, eighty-one Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and three hundred sixty Qi Refining stage Cultivators."
"At its peak, a full-power strike would be comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure."
"The Yin spirits within can devour each other to advance."
Li Feiyu murmured to himself. This treasure was extremely dangerous; it would devour its master and had already devoured the Divine Souls of dozens of owners.
However, despite its ominous nature, Cultivators who encountered it would basically not discard it, but rather keep it as a trump card.
Wang Qi was like this, and Li Feiyu was the same.
The Soul Devouring Yin Plate was currently damaged. Under normal circumstances, it could only unleash the power of an ordinary top-tier Magical Artifact, but if one sacrificed their own essence blood and Lifespan, it could unleash a strike comparable to a Spell Amulet; with enough sacrifice, it could even be stronger.
"As long as the essence blood and Lifespan can keep up, it can continuously erupt, and the required magical power is very small. Isn't this a perfect match for me?"
Li Feiyu mumbled, "Anyway, it needs Lifespan, and it didn't say it had to be mine."
He grinned and accepted it calmly.
In the following days, no more child abductions occurred.
Soon after, someone in Bluestone City discovered the remains of children at the Mountain God Temple. Everyone sighed, lamenting their unfortunate fate.
After another strict investigation, the Bluestone City government still couldn't find the culprit and could only give up.
For the next half year, Li Feiyu would occasionally feel magical power fluctuations sweeping over Bluestone City.
"The storm is brewing."
Li Feiyu walked out of his room and into the courtyard, looking up at the overcast sky.
He and Han Li entered the Seven Mysteries Sect in the same batch, but he was two or three years older than Han Li.
The Demonic Path invasion happened around this time, then lasted for over a decade before finally subsiding and a truce agreement was signed.
During this period, the Yellow Maple Valley mountain sect was destroyed, and Han Li, to escape the war, traveled to the Chaotic Star Sea via a teleportation array.
In the Chaotic Star Sea, there were countless Demon Beasts in the sea, which Li Feiyu greatly coveted.
"Let's see if there's a chance to catch this wave and go with Han Li."
Buzz buzz buzz~
Li Feiyu slapped his Storage Pouch, and the Soul Devouring Yin Plate flew out, rotating around him, looking as if it was trying to please him.
Li Feiyu smiled nonchalantly, and a drop of daily longevity liquid condensed on his fingertip.
The Soul Devouring Yin Plate immediately flew over to catch it. After devouring the longevity liquid, its entire body emitted a faint black light.
