Yuwen Jinglei did not know when he had been followed by the tortoise behind him. In any case, he had just snatched the item that he had been plotting for a long time and had just stepped out of the Endless Mountains when he was attacked by the tortoise. It was obvious that he had lost his life.
Yuwen Jinglei had also obtained a ball of thunder essence from the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash when the Yuwen clan was destroyed, allowing his level of practice to be pushed to the peak of the late Dharma stage. He was only a hair's breadth away from the Pure Yang stage. Furthermore, he was proficient in the Thunder Evasion Technique, and after refining that ball of thunder essence, his speed was even faster. In addition, although the tortoise behind him had a Pure Yang level of practice, it had obviously inherited Yuwen Jinglei's Evasion Technique. This allowed Yuwen Jinglei to narrowly escape at the last moment.
As a core member of the Yuwen clan, Yuwen Jinglei naturally knew a thing or two about the thunder essence. The moment he had obtained the thunder essence, he had also realized just like Yuwen Feixiang that the Yuwen clan had probably met with a great calamity. Otherwise, the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash of the Guardian Family would definitely not have dispersed the thunder essence on its own. This was something that only the successor to the position of the family leader would be able to obtain from the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash to improve the quality of the calabash that they had refined or to directly increase their level of practice.
It was a pity that the next successor to the Yuwen clan had been Yuwen Feixiang. Yuwen Jinglei had not obtained the method to refine the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash himself. This was also the main reason why he had taken the risk to enter the Endless Mountains this time.
Without the Seven Treasures Thunder Gourd to continue nurturing this drop of Thunder Origin, Yuwen Jinglei had no choice but to use it to increase his level of training. However, he also knew that using it this way was actually a huge waste of the essence of the Thunder Origin. The essence that he could refine for his own use was actually less than a tenth of the essence of the Thunder Origin. The rest was all wasted, even though his level of training had increased to the pinnacle of the late Dharma stage.
However, he had no other choice. He could only hate Yuwen Feixiang even more. If Yuwen Feixiang had not stolen the position of successor from him, how could he not have obtained the method to refine the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash!
If he could refine a Thunder Calabash in his hands, he could completely nurture the Origin Essence in the Thunder Calabash and only use it after he had advanced to the Pure Yang stage. In this way, he could at least refine forty to fifty percent of this drop of Origin Essence and push his level of practice to the peak of the Pure Yang stage in one fell swoop.
Moreover, when the head of the clan refined the Origin Essence, he would often gather a few trusted aides to go into seclusion with him. After the Origin Essence that the head of the clan could not refine was released, it would be absorbed by the trusted aides. This would also greatly increase the strength of these people, thus becoming a method for the head of the clan to win over the hearts of the people. This was also the fundamental reason why the Pure Yang adepts of the Yuwen clan had been able to maintain their extremely strong strength and the strong sense of unity within the clan.
Although Yuwen Jinglei's cultivation had been promoted to the peak of the Grand Cultivator, and his Thunder Escape Secret Technique had reached the pinnacle, Yuwen Jinglei still suffered extremely serious injuries under the sneak attack of the Pure Yang Tyrannical Turtle.
However, at this time, he could only suppress the injuries in his body and escape. After all, this turtle was a Pure Yang adept. His speed was relatively slow. Once Yuwen Jinglei's injuries affected his speed of escape, the turtle behind him would inevitably kill him.
Yuwen Jinglei knew that his current situation was getting worse. The injuries in his body gradually worsened because of his forced escape, and even began to counterattack his Zhen Yuan.
"Haha, Yuwen Jinglei, leave behind the thing you snatched from the Endless Mountain, and the Old Man will spare your life!"
Although Xiang Guitian had been shocked by Yuwen Jinglei's escape technique and regretted that he hadn't been able to kill Yuwen Jinglei in one fell swoop, he could tell that Yuwen Jinglei was running out of energy. If it weren't for Xiang Guitian's apprehension, he would have long since taken the item from Yuwen Jinglei's hand.
"Hehe, Old Turtle, who are you trying to fool?"
Yuwen Jinglei snorted disdainfully, "Don't tell me your Ba Gui Clan doesn't know how important this thing is? Spare my life? I'm afraid you're going to kill me immediately after obtaining it! I suggest that you don't chase too closely, lest I accidentally break the thing in my hand in a moment of desperation. If that happens, you old tortoise will be left with nothing to show for it! "
Xiang Guitian looked a little annoyed. "Yuwen Jinglei, you have to understand that the Yuwen clan is now the public enemy of the cultivation world. You're like a rat on the street. Although the Old Man wants the thing in your hands, he might not necessarily obtain it. If you offend the Old Man, he just has to shout, and countless people will come chasing after you. Do you think you can still escape when that time comes?"
Yuwen Jinglei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he suddenly felt a reverse flow in his body. Yuwen Jinglei cursed inwardly. He couldn't suppress the injuries in his body any longer. Before he could even think about it, the reverse flow had already rushed out of his mouth and turned into a mouthful of dirty blood.
Xiang Guitian had been waiting for this moment. He had a good grasp of his timing. Although Yuwen Jinglei had escaped from his hands due to his carelessness, Xiang Guitian had adjusted his mentality and quickly determined the extent of Yuwen Jinglei's injuries after hitting him.
He had purposely lured Yuwen Jinglei to speak during the chase, but he was actually secretly using a method to trigger the suppressed injuries in Yuwen Jinglei's body. This could be considered a secret technique of the Ba Gui clan, and it was rarely used. Not many people knew about it, so Yuwen Jinglei had unknowingly fallen into his trap.
The Ba Gui clan was not good at escape techniques, but that was only relative. Xiang Guitian was a Pure Yang cultivator. No matter how bad his escape techniques were, there was no way he could let Yuwen Jinglei escape again under such circumstances.
A shadow loomed over Yuwen Jinglei's head. When he raised his head, he saw a mountainous foot descending from the sky.
Yuwen Jinglei slammed his hand on his chest. This time, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The only difference was that there was a purple-gold electric light dancing in the blood. When the electric light turned into a ball of light in the blood, Yuwen Jinglei had already appeared several dozen kilometers away.
"Hmph, where do you think you're going?!"
Xiang Guitian's roar was like rolling thunder that came from the horizon. A strange sound wave penetrated into Yuwen Jinglei's body. His heartbeat immediately became chaotic, and his blood vessels even started flowing in reverse. Not only was his Essential Essence unable to keep up, but he was also at risk of Qi deviation.
"I must persevere. This is the forest in the periphery of the Endless Mountains. As long as I reach that place, there will be a chance. How can I, Yuwen Jinglei, die here? I still want to break the destiny of the Yuwen clan and become the Thunder Roc True Spirit!"
Yuwen Jinglei decided to stop suppressing his injuries. He only used his remaining Essential Essence to protect his heart, allowing the disturbed blood vessels in his body to worsen. Then, he gathered all the Essential Essence in his body and turned into a bolt of lightning, flying forward again.
The moment he left, dark clouds rolled in the sky. A gigantic tortoise that almost covered half of the sky lay on top of the dark clouds. It looked as if it would jump down at any time and use its huge body to crush all opponents.
Yuwen Jinglei's self-mutilating actions were clearly out of Xiang Guitian's expectations. However, the item on Yuwen Jinglei was very useful to the Ba Gui clan. It was something that the current True Spirit of the Ba Gui clan, Laozu, had secretly passed down to all pure Yang cultivators of the Ba Gui clan. Otherwise, Xiang Guitian would not have chased after him so relentlessly.
Xiang Guitian's real body slid through the sea of clouds. His huge body once again dashed dozens of miles away. Yuwen Jinglei's tottering figure once again appeared in Xiang Guitian's line of sight.
This time, this kid was really at the end of his rope. For a late Dharma adept to be able to hold on until now, it was no wonder that he was one of the most outstanding third generation adepts in the entire cultivation world. To be able to escape from the Old Man for so long, his strength was probably second only to the two sword immortals.
"Kid, where can you run to this time?"
Xiang Guitian shook the sea of clouds beneath him and rushed toward Yuwen Jinglei. At this time, what he was most afraid of was that Yuwen Jinglei would destroy the treasure in his hand when he saw that there was no hope of escaping.
However, at this moment, Yuwen Jinglei suddenly turned around and flashed a strange smile at Xiang Guitian.
Xiang Guitian instinctively felt that something was wrong. However, he did not believe that Yuwen Jinglei had any other way to turn the tables. Boundless clouds transformed into all sorts of weapons and treasures in mid-air, smashing toward Yuwen Jinglei's body.
Yuwen Jinglei knelt on the ground and slammed his right palm hard on the ground. Purple-gold lightning spread out from his palm in a zigzagging arc. From Xiang Guitian's perspective, it formed a huge lightning array in mid-air.
This was not a simple array formation. There was already an array foundation lying in ambush here!
Xiang Guitian did not expect Yuwen Jinglei to be able to leave such a backup plan in such a remote place. He was surprised and shocked, but he had no choice but to release the arrow on the bow.
Just as Yuwen Jinglei was about to be swallowed by the sea of clouds, the ground suddenly caved in. A thick black fog spewed out from the collapsed ground, and a bottomless abyss appeared where Yuwen Jinglei had been standing. Terrifying roars came from the abyss.
Mara Cave! So this was a Mara Cave!
Xiang Guitian was shocked. He immediately understood what Yuwen Jinglei's backup plan was. Before he could find Yuwen Jinglei again, a Heavenly Demon and four Asuras rushed out of the abyss one after another. In addition, there were several Jade Mara, Blood Mara, and some Big and Small Mara rushing toward Xiang Guitian.
Dozens of feet away, Yuwen Jinglei looked like a ferocious ghost. However, when he saw that Xiang Guitian was surrounded by more than a hundred Mara, he chuckled. Three streams of light flashed in his hands, and he resisted the urge to leave this place.
However, the moment he turned around, a black figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
Yuwen Jinglei cursed inwardly. He suddenly felt a bone-chilling sensation on his right wrist. When he turned his head, he saw a hand holding three streams of light dancing in the air. A black figure suddenly appeared in the void and grabbed it. The three streams of light flashed, and the hand smashed toward Yuwen Jinglei's face.
"No!"
Yuwen Jinglei let out a crazy roar. He couldn't care less about his severed right hand and his body, which was already at its limits. Thunder exploded under his feet, and he wanted to forcefully chase after the figure.
However, the moment he grabbed his right hand that was smashing toward him, the black figure from before appeared behind Yuwen Jinglei for some reason. A short blade silently sank into Yuwen Jinglei's back.
Yuwen Jinglei tried his best to turn his head to see who killed him, but he suddenly felt the back of his back loosen. The person had already disappeared again.
Yuwen Jinglei fell to the ground, and the vitality in his eyes gradually disappeared. He still didn't know who killed him.
