She keenly sensed that although Zhan Wusi was injured, her cultivation level was the highest, and the treasures in her possession must be extraordinary.
Therefore, she decided to attack Zhan Wusi first to weaken her strength.
She knew that using a Sword Pellet against Qin Hua would be a waste of resources.
Although Qin Hua had been rude to her, she wouldn't be foolish enough to waste such a precious treasure on an insignificant nobody.
Facing the opponent's imposing aura, Zhan Wusi instantly felt a chill sweep through her body, like a sudden downpour, as she hadn't anticipated being targeted again.
However, this time she wasn't entirely unprepared. A blood shadow instantly materialized, shielding her.
This blood shadow was a refined, mid-grade Blood Shadow, containing a trace of sentience. Even if it was forced to dissipate, it would only damage her divine sense, not endanger her life.
This was precisely the power of the Blood Fiend Sect's unparalleled Kunpeng Blood Magic.
Just as the blood shadow appeared, Jian Wan swung his sword, and with a "poof," the blood shadow was instantly destroyed, like crushing dry weeds, offering no resistance.
As the blood shadow dissipated, Zhan Wusi quickly retreated, using her shield for protection and applying two Vajra Talismans to resist the fierce sword energy.
At that moment, she truly understood the strength of the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect's swordsmanship. They didn't cultivate spells or refine magical treasures, focusing solely on the sword, breaking all techniques with a single strike, displaying domineering power.
She was fortunate to escape, thanks to Li Chengfeng's pre-arranged escape plan.
At the same time, Xu Huixin quickly raised another Sword Pellet, sweeping it out fiercely, causing the four elite Foundation Establishment disciples to retreat.
She seized the opportunity, and the flying sword beneath her feet transformed into an arrow, piercing through the air with astonishing speed.
The four hurriedly activated their protective magic treasures, trying to maintain their defenses, but the speed of the opponent's sword was simply beyond the limit, making it difficult to capture.
However, at that moment, a massive, sky-covering hand suddenly appeared in the air, grabbing directly towards Xu Huixin.
This was a giant hand of corpse energy, carrying rolling waves of death aura, as if to engulf the heavens and the earth.
The corpse beneath Shi Kai's feet was actually a Bronze Corpse.
Refined corpses are divided into Iron Corpses, Bronze Corpses, Silver Corpses, and Gold Corpses. The refined corpse before them emitted traces of silver light, clearly refined using some secret method. It was dozens of feet tall, and each step covered a great distance.
At this moment, it suddenly attacked, catching Xu Huixin off guard.
Although Xu Huixin was fast, she couldn't stop in time, and the opponent's hand was already coming straight at her.
Forced, she took out the Sword Pellet again, unleashing a strike.
She had brought a total of three Sword Pellets, and this was the last one, so she had no choice but to use it.
With a "tsst" sound, blood spurted out, and one of the opponent's hands was instantly severed. This was the power of the Sword Pellet, as sharp as a blade.
Xu Huixin took advantage of the situation to break through the air and leave. Seeing this, Shi Kai sneered and waved his hand. A huge coffin suddenly erupted, and the powerful tearing force slowed Xu Huixin's speed.
At this moment, Zhan Wusi had already soared into the sky, attacking Xu Huixin, wanting to kill her and retrieve the Nine Desires Celestial Blossom.
Shi Kai coldly snorted and waved his hand. Another coffin flew out, opening with a "crack," and a Bronze Corpse darted out like a snake, blocking Zhan Wusi.
The Bronze Corpse's power was as swift as lightning, and Zhan Wusi had to retreat instantly, asking in confusion, "Shi Kai, what do you mean by this? I want to kill Xu Huixin, why are you protecting her? Could it be that your Corpse Refining Sect is colluding with the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect?"
Shi Kai coldly replied, "Nonsense. I just want to seize her Nine Desires Celestial Blossom, don't try to pin labels on me.
With your strength, you are not enough to contend with me."
At this time, Xu Huixin, due to the high speed technique of the flying sword she had just used, had exhausted a lot of energy. She was already losing strength, expelling most of her inner force like a flood, and was finally sucked into the coffin, which closed with a "boom."
Shi Kai then affixed many talismans, carrying the coffin on his back, and said triumphantly, "The Nine Desires Celestial Blossom is mine, and this woman is also at my disposal.
I will take her to see the Sect Master and have the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect redeem her with benefits. This is the best way to slap their faces."
Before he finished speaking, Zhan Wusi and the four elite disciples led a group of people to surround Shi Kai.
The forty-odd Corpse Refining Sect disciples Shi Kai had brought also waved their hands, and Iron Corpses leaped out. Among them, ten elite disciples were controlling Bronze Corpses, guarding Shi Kai.
Shi Kai sneered and said, "Now you've finally united to deal with me. I expected this situation long ago.
With your strength, you are not worthy of being my enemy."
His gaze swept over the four elite disciples, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He continued, "The power of the talismans you used just now should be almost exhausted, right? Only I have enough talisman power in my hands now."
As he spoke, six talismans appeared in his hand.
"Basically, those who can enter here have about six to seven talismans," Shi Kai continued.
Logically speaking, the Blood Fiend Sect had the most talismans, but Zhan Wusi had only used one. She had five left, but Li Chengfeng had intercepted them.
Now that she didn't have a powerful weapon in her hand, she could only sulkily hide to the side and let the other four experts deal with him.
Fang Ruichu frowned and said, "Shi Kai, your appetite is too big. You have been instigating our four major sects to compete for treasures.
In the end, you intervened and wanted to take all the benefits for yourself. That's impossible. How about this, you choose between the Nine Desires Celestial Blossom and that妖女.
If you want the Nine Desires Celestial Blossom, hand over that妖女 to my Puppet Sect."
Meng Biao of the Soul Devouring Sect also echoed, "That's right, you're getting all the benefits, and we're getting nothing. We can't swallow this.
Everyone's strength is about the same. If you insist on being enemies with our four major sects, I'll have to fight you."
Liu Ruyan stood in front of Zhan Wusi and said, "Shi Kai, if you are willing to hand over the Nine Desires Celestial Blossom to us, you can keep that妖女, how about that?"
Zhan Wusi frowned slightly, but then nodded, indicating her agreement.
Shi Kai's eyes flashed as he scanned the crowd and said, "There is only one Nine Desires Celestial Blossom. Which of your four major sects should get it?
Why don't you compete yourselves, and I will give the winner the Nine Desires Celestial Blossom, how about that?"
Xue Ming angrily retorted, "Do you think we are fools? We fight to the death, and in the end, we are still at your mercy.
This time, we must not let Shi Kai enjoy the benefits alone. From the beginning, he has been using small gains to lure us step by step.
He made us fight to the death for the Nine Desires Celestial Blossom, but in the end, he took advantage of the situation and got all the benefits. I can't swallow this!"
Liu Ruyan, Fang Ruichu, and Meng Biao all nodded in agreement, "That's right, we can't swallow this!"
They glared at Shi Kai, surrounding him.
But Shi Kai wasn't flustered at all. He just said calmly, "Since you don't listen to advice, then let's clash."
With a wave of his hand, four elite disciples appeared behind him, their corpse energy soaring to the sky.
Next to them stood Bronze Corpses, and some even had silver纹路 on their bodies, indicating that these Bronze Corpses were transforming into Silver Corpses.
They were controlling the Bronze Corpses across realms, obviously using some secret method, which was a heavy burden on them, but at this time, their eyes were unusually fierce.
