Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 282 - 264: Magic Artifacts Emerge! Jiupan Po Appears!

"Who goes there!?"

The demonic Qi surged violently.

Sensing the intrusion, a deep azure figure dashed from within the seven hundred li Shell Field, ascending into the air and bellowing with might.

"Your grandpa Han Ji!"

Han Ji cackled wildly, wielding the White Bone Six Yang Hammers as if he were a giant that could cleave the heavens, he brought the hammer crashing down with ferocious force. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three mighty strikes and the protective array encasing the seven hundred li Fire Spirit Shell Field exploded into fragments.

"Kill!"

From all directions, Demon Cultivators from the White Bone Demon Sect's No-Life Hall leaped into action. Some brimming with murderous intent, others with crazed expressions—each brandishing their Magic Artifacts, encircling the Shell Field.

In the midst of the Shell Field.

The deep azure figure spotted the attackers, his brows instantly knitting into a frown, "White Bone Demon Sect Six Yang Guardian Han Ji, No-Life Hall Master Cha Shan!"

Both Han Ji and Cha Shan were notorious experts within the Demon Dao, tricky foes individually, let alone when they joined forces.

"So it's the Five Fire True Man,"

Han Ji directed a boisterous laugh toward the azure figure ahead.

Xuanyuan Sect.

Five Fire True Man.

A True Man of the Demon Suppressing Peak among the Five Peaks of Xuanyuan Sect, his cultivation might not match that of the Peak's leader Weng Shaoqing, but he was no pushover. Having commissioned Gai Yuntian, the esteemed artifact maker, to refine the Five Fire Red Aura Banner, capable of wielding the power of the five fires—his strength was truly substantial.

Such power was likely on par with the No-Life Hall Master.

Encountering him within the Fire Spirit Shell Field was unexpected for Han Ji. However, facing a Void Core Real Person still could not cause any significant upheaval.

"Those who come are with ill intent."

Five Fire True Man's heart sank.

The Sect had anticipated the White Bone Demon Sect's move and was making preparations to strike first. His presence at the Fire Spirit Shell Field was part of the arrangement—yet the White Bone Demon Sect acted quicker than expected, descending upon and preparing to attack the Shell Field.

What he didn't realize was—

This was all because a Foundation Establishment Stage True Inheritor from the Sect had gone on a killing spree in the White Bone Realm!

"Ha-ha!"

"How rare to meet the Five Fire True Man, don't flee now—stay and battle Old Han for three hundred rounds!"

Speed was of the essence in warfare!

Han Ji's White Bone Six Yang Hammers struck fiercely, and in the air, the visages of five ghastly demons emerged, their gaping maws racing towards the Five Fire True Man, swift as shooting stars.

"The White Bone Six Yang Hammers!"

Startled, Five Fire True Man quickly brandished the Five Fire Red Aura Banner. In an instant, sparks flew, and the Zhongyang Fire from among the five blazed forth, aiming straight for the demonic heads.

"Even mere embers dare to shine with brilliance?!"

Han Ji laughed hard.

The five demon heads opened and shut, traversing the void and swallowing the blazing inferno only to emit it again from their seven orifices unharmed. They even penetrated through the flames and bit directly onto the Five Fire Red Aura Banner.

The Five Fire True Man swung his banner fiercely, summoning both Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire from among the five, forcing the demonic heads back.

But upon inspecting the Five Fire Red Aura Banner,

Five bite marks could be seen, and it wouldn't be long before five gaps were torn into it, heavily diminishing its might!

"What a terribly venomous Magic Artifact!"

The Five Fire True Man shuddered with dread, True Yuan surging as Yang Fire, Yin Fire, Heavenly Fire, and Earth Fire erupted simultaneously, engulfing all directions to ward off Han Ji's White Bone Six Yang Hammers.

Such defense could hold for an instant, but was unsustainable over time.

If he failed to escape soon, it was inevitable he would be defeated, meeting a grim fate with both body and artifact destroyed.

The battle raged fiercely.

Outside the Shell Field.

"Tsk, tsk."

"Han Ji is such a slowpoke. Allow me, your king, to lend you a hand!"

Outside the Fire Spirit Shell Field, a sultry woman of high status disguised within the void held a copper mirror. Facing towards the Five Fire True Man in the field, she muttered incantations. From the mirror, a faint glimmer twinkled, gradually intensifying as if brewing power.

The noblewoman, her divine presence hidden in the void, surrounded by ashen feathers that concealed the fluctuations of her Divine Soul and shielded her from detection. The copper mirror was peculiar, reflecting the image of the Five Fire True Man as the mirror was activated without him realizing it in the slightest.

None of the many cultivators present noticed it either.

The Five Fire True Man, unaware, waved the Five Fire Red Aura Banner vigorously, unleashing endless flames, barely holding off Han Ji's onslaught.

The flames scattered, his decline evident.

"It's no wonder he's the guardian of the White Bone Demon Sect, truly beyond comparison to the No-Life Hall Master."

Another figure cloaked in black robes hid in the darkness, invisible against the world.

His eyes stared at the great hammer in Han Ji's hands, with a faint glint of spirit light—

[Magic Artifact: White Bone Six Yang Hammers]

[Grade: Fifth-Order]

[Description: The White Bone Six Yang Guardian Han Ji spent three hundred years in the snow-capped mountains at the northern border of the White Bone Realm. Following the law of the Five Elements, he found five Six Yang leaders, sacrificing 4,449 souls with potential to refine this treasure. No matter how strong the enemy's Dao ability or how formidable their artifact, being bitten by those five demonic heads and activating the hammer spells certain doom.]

"What a terrifyingly venomous artifact!"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes shone with a cold glint, echoing the Five Fire True Man's words.

While the Five Fire True Man was commenting on the aggressive assault of the White Bone Six Yang Hammers, describing them as overly vicious in destroying both body and artifact, Lu Qingfeng was discussing the malicious method of their refinement, unveiled by observing them through the 'Daluo Cave View'.

Sacrificing over four thousand souls callously was indeed monstrous.

Within the Shell Field.

Han Ji and the Five Fire True Man engaged in combat.

The Xuanyuan Sect cultivators stationed at the Shell Field stood off against the Demon Cultivators of the White Bone Demon Sect's No-Life Hall.

The former looked displeased, while the latter exuded a brazen demonic aura.

"This way, Five Fire True Man will be defeated sooner or later. The destruction of his magic artifact is a trivial matter; if the No-Life Hall Master cuts off his retreat, his life will be at risk," Lu Qingfeng frowned lightly.

Five Fire True Man was a Real Person of Demon Suppressing Peak.

While Lu Qingfeng had no dealings with Demon Suppressing Peak, he belonged to Xuanyuan Sect and could not stand idly by.

His mind stirred, ready to leap into action,

yet suddenly, he halted as Daluo Cave Temple scanned the void to no avail—

"What a clever rouge bird!"

"How opportune!" Lu Qingfeng's eyes brightened. Initially intending to charge directly towards the centre of the Shell Field, he now changed direction, traversing the void in a flash towards another side.

His Invisibility Technique concealed his form, and his murderous intent was imperceptible—neither Han Ji and Five Fire True Man inside the field, nor the No-Life Hall Master and the lady outside, noticed anything.

Silently, Lu Qingfeng approached near the lady of high status.

Peering over, he saw the lady casting a spell, her copper mirror reflecting the figure of Five Fire True Man with absolute clarity, emitting a seven-inch beam.

"This treasure—" Lu Qingfeng's gaze swept over the copper mirror, identifying its attributes, and was immediately startled, "What a malicious witch!"

With a hard stare,

he took action.

"Zhu Rong Demon God!"

"Dutian Xuanming Strategy!"

His attack was full-fledged.

The Zhu Rong Demon God sprang from within Lu Qingfeng, followed by the Dutian Xuanming Strategy. As he stepped forward, the Zhu Rong Demon God reached its pinnacle. Underneath, a Fire Dragon roared and poked its head out, swallowing the copper mirror that the sophisticated lady held mid-cast. The Zhu Rong Demon God then lifted a massive palm, slamming down on the back of the lady's head.

"Who?!" The lady, taken aback by the ambush and hit on the back of her head, stumbled forward, her form immediately exposed.

And inside her was sheer alarm, erupting with anger.

But it revealed her presence.

In the sky,

Lu Qingfeng was behind, with the Zhu Rong Demon God in front, both made visible.

In an instant,

from all directions, whether Xuanyuan Sect or White Bone Demon Sect cultivators, or even loose cultivators watching from afar, all eyes converged here.

"Who?!"

Han Ji and Five Fire True Man were in the midst of their combat rule.

No-Life Hall Master was on alert all around, perceiving a disturbance in the aura, his black and white eyes blazing as he looked towards the direction of Lu Qingfeng and the lady.

"Fiery Fire Wanderer?!" The No-Life Hall Master, recognizing that Fiery Fire Demon God, found the eyes all too familiar. Cloaked in a black robe behind the demon god could only be Illusion Wave Sea's Fiery Fire Wanderer—who else could it be? They had clashed just half a day ago. Unexpectedly, while he had been openly invited and denied, the wanderer had covertly followed.

Truly a despicable act!

His gaze shifted back to the front.

The lady, with her hair in disarray and fury brimming, carried an alluring figure infused with an odd demonic aura. The No-Life Hall Master's pupils contracted again—

"Jiupan Po?!"

Far more shocked than seeing Fiery Fire Wanderer, the No-Life Hall Master's eyes flickered with black and white light, scrutinizing Lu Qingfeng and the lady, speculating and on guard internally.

"Jiupan Po?"

In the field,

Han Ji and Five Fire True Man who were engaged in their combat, noticed the commotion outside.

Seeing the lady, one showed surprise, the other furrowed his brow.

"So, it's one of the Three Great Kings of Heavenly Travel Mountain."

Lu Qingfeng, hearing the exclaims, instantly understood.

The lady before him was none other than the Demon Clan's Three Great Kings from the Heavenly Travel Realm, known as 'Jiupan Demon King', Jiupan Po.

Unexpectedly, a Demon King of such stature was lurking in the Fire Spirit Shell Field, secretly launching a sneak attack; quite disgraceful.

Lu Qingfeng snorted.

The Fire Dragon beneath the Zhu Rong Demon God slapped its tail, and the copper mirror it had swallowed landed in Lu Qingfeng's hands. The fierce flames burned, severing Jiupan Po's connection to the mirror. Subsequently, it fell into Lu Qingfeng's hands, and his Divine Power, "Dutian Divine Slaughter", activated—

[Divine Power: Dutian Divine Slaughter]

[Grade: Normal]

[Derivation Technique: Five times enhancement]

[Description: A super-level technique that complements the 'Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill' named 'Dutian Divine Slaughter', and is a form of evil technique. With each use, one's lifespan is shortened by a century. However, its power is immense, capable of corrupting magical artifacts and flesh, turning artifacts to useless iron and flesh to a sieve. Once enhanced to Divine Power Level, its potency increases tremendously, and the side effect of reducing lifespan is nullified]

'Dutian Divine Slaughter' turned into pervasive filth, seeping into the copper mirror, temporarily tainting it.

Breaking Jiupan Po's connection,

only then did he toss it into a storage bag, to inspect later.

What seemed a lengthy process was, in reality, just a moment from Lu Qingfeng summoning the Zhu Rong Demon God to snatching the mirror and storing it away—everything happened in a flash.

His technique was incredibly adept, astonishing Jiupan Po, No-Life Hall Master, and the others.

"Despicable thief!"

Seeing Lu Qingfeng pocket the copper mirror, Jiupan Po's charming features surged with rage. While the copper mirror wasn't a vital treasure she depended on for her life, it was nonetheless an extraordinary magic artifact. Secretly harming others, framing, imposing blame—the most malicious of acts.

She had just acquired it recently, and today, before she could achieve her aim, Lu Qingfeng, who had cut in out of nowhere, took it.

How could Jiupan Po not be furious?

"Face your death!"

With a wave of her hand, the grey and white feathers enveloping her converged into a feather fan which landed in her hand.

With the fan in hand, she furiously fanned towards Lu Qingfeng!

Whoosh, whoosh!

Gale howled, changing the Heavenly net to an Earthly trap, directly enveloping him.
