Although the black-robed man no longer had any hope of escaping, he didn't give up.
At this moment, he was surrounded by layers of Vampiric Vines and Soul Chasing Bees. However, he was still able to form a spiritual energy barrier to resist the attacks.
This was a battle of attrition. Wang Daoyuan simultaneously infused more than twenty Vampiric Vines with his spiritual energy. The Vampiric Vines that had been cut down even grew more branches.
In addition, he was also maintaining the Golden Roc's image.
If this continued, he might not be able to outlast this fifth level Foundation Establishment assassin.
Wang Daoyuan didn't have any reason to waste time with him. Since he had the resources, he would use them to his advantage.
He took out three jugs of fifty-year-old Scarlet Blood Wine from the space within his spiritual pearl and drank a few mouthfuls.
In less than forty breaths of time, his spiritual energy, which had been less than half, had recovered to ninety percent.
He burped and sighed, "I've used up too much of my spiritual energy recently. I only have two or three hundred jugs of this wine left. Luckily, I still have five hundred jugs of better quality."
The black-robed man's cloak had long been torn apart, revealing his face.
Originally, his eyes were shining with hope.
However, after Wang Daoyuan drank a few mouthfuls of wine, the flames of hope in his heart gradually extinguished.
When Wang Daoyuan said that he still had a few hundred jugs left, he completely despaired.
After holding on for a hundred breaths of time, the assassin's lifeless face suddenly turned sinister.
Wang Daoyuan immediately became vigilant. This brat wants to fight me to the death!
He stuck two layers of Earth Armor Talismans on himself and infused a large amount of spiritual energy into the Turtle Dragon Armor.
A fifth level Foundation Establishment cultivator's final attack had to be taken seriously.
The assassin's spiritual energy barrier fluctuated violently.
Soon after, the barrier exploded, and the Soul Chasing Bees were sent flying by the shockwaves. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
More than five thousand Soul Chasing Bees would take more than ten days to recover.
These ordinary Soul Chasing Bees were only of the first grade and couldn't withstand the shockwaves of the explosion. However, the Vampiric Vines didn't care.
Without the obstruction of the barrier, they directly wrapped around the assassin's body. The thorns on the vines had already pierced through his skin.
The assassin felt that he had lost all feeling in his hands and feet, and even the circulation of his spirit energy had slowed down.
Wang Daoyuan originally thought that this was the end, but he didn't expect that the assassin's flying sword, carrying intense spirit energy fluctuations, would drill through the gaps between the vines and fly towards him.
Back then, when he was fighting with Zhao Baoguo, he was careless and did not dodge. He was almost sent away by five consecutive whips.
Since then, whenever he fought with others, he would always remain vigilant until his opponent was completely dead.
This time was no exception. His divine sense was locked onto his opponent from beginning to end.
The moment the flying sword flew out, he immediately used the Cloud Mist Escape and dodged to the side, flashing three hundred feet away.
Then, he controlled the Golden Roc's phantom to continuously use its feather blades to attack the flying swords.
After he dodged, the flying sword turned around and continued to chase after him.
Under the attack of the feather blade, the flying sword was on the verge of collapse.
The assassin was already powerless from the Bloodthirsty Vine's poison, unable to circulate his spiritual energy.
Losing too much blood made it hard for him to stay conscious, and his Soul Consciousness was getting weaker and weaker.
Once he fainted, the flying sword would completely lose control.
At this moment, the flying sword was still more than thirty feet away from Wang Daoyuan when it suddenly shone brightly.
Wang Daoyuan once again used the Cloud Mist Escape and dodged in the direction the flying sword was pointing at.
The light on the flying sword condensed into a giant sword phantom that was more than thirty feet long and three feet wide. It slashed down in the direction Wang Daoyuan had previously been.
This seemed to be a sword cultivator's move, but this assassin could not possibly be a sword cultivator.
Sword cultivators were famous for being one-track minded. They were particular about breaking all techniques with a single sword and disdained to play tricks and schemes.
No matter how talented those bastards from Blood Shadow were, they would not be able to achieve anything by walking the path of a sword cultivator.
He reckoned that this assassin must have obtained an incomplete sword cultivator legacy somewhere and practiced this move.
Wang Daoyuan had already used the Cloud Mist Escape to dodge. He would not be injured in the slightest by this sword strike.
However, this was a rare opportunity to experience the strength of a sword cultivator. How could he miss it?
He controlled the Golden Roc's phantom to fly in the direction of the giant sword phantom.
He aimed at the giant sword phantom and released all of his feathered blades.
After blocking more than a hundred feathered blades, the giant sword was shattered. The remaining feathered blades all missed.
The power was unexpectedly weak, but looking at the appearance of the giant sword phantom, it should have destroyed all of the feathered blades before perishing together with the Golden Roc's phantom.
He did not expect that it would be over just like that.
It seemed that this move had consumed a lot of energy.
Otherwise, he would not have waited until he was at the brink of death.
This move was a little useless. Its speed was too slow, and the probability of hitting someone was not high.
The assassin had already fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Wang Daoyuan withdrew the Golden Roc's phantom and kept all of the Soul Chasing Bees back into the Spiritual Pearl.
He used his divine sense to stop the Vampiric Vine's attack and stuck a Second Grade Soul Subduing Talisman on the assassin. Then, he threw both the assassin and the Vampiric Vine into the Spiritual Pearl.
After cleaning up the traces on Black Boulder Peak, he flew back to Jadespring Peak.
After greeting the Great Elder, he returned to the cave and prepared to refine the assassin into a clone.
After all, the assassin was at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. His divine sense cultivation might be higher than his. If he rashly used the Soul Splitting Blade, he might hurt himself instead.
It would be safer to use the Soul Extinguishing Bell to shake his soul half to death first before using the Soul Splitting Blade.
Before that, he should first cut out a part of his soul and nourish it.
He cut out about seven percent of his soul. A Foundation Establishment clone's original soul was stronger and could accommodate more parts of his soul.
The more divided souls he could sever, the more his avatar could nurture the divided souls. In the future, when he took back the divided souls, his Divine Sense cultivation would improve even more.
However, the damage to his soul would also be greater.
Wang Daoyuan used more than ten days to stabilize the injuries to his soul.
After the soul was nourished, he used the Earth Wall Technique to create two hemispherical covers to cover himself.
He took out the assassin from the Spiritual Pearl and used the Soul Extinguishing Bell to injure his soul.
With the two covers, the clansmen outside would not be hurt by the Soul Extinguishing Bell.
The outside world could only hear a weak bell sound. Only a few Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could hear that the bell sound was not simple. The Qi Refinement Realm cultivators did not feel anything.
At this time, the assassin was already foaming at the mouth from the shock.
He immediately used the Soul Splitting Blade to break into the assassin's sea of consciousness and disperse his soul.
Then, the part of his soul entered the assassin's sea of consciousness and used the power of the Soul Splitting Blade to reform his soul.
After finishing, he felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what the problem was.
A day later, the part of his soul in the space had completely controlled the clone.
At this time, Wang Daoyuan realized where the problem was. All the clones began to have a trace of self-awareness.
The previous clones were like another him and were completely connected to the main body.
But now, the clones had their own thoughts and gave him a strange feeling. They could not be completely connected.
Even if this bit of self-awareness was insignificant, it was still a hidden danger.
If the self-awareness grew stronger, the clone would want to rebel and destroy the part of his soul. Then, he would be finished.
He could not determine the reason why the clones had developed self-awareness.
In order to reduce the risk of the clones causing trouble, he first gave up on the clones that had no value.
Now that he had four Qi Refinement clones, Qi Yun's remaining value had not been squeezed dry. Zhao Baoguo's cultivation method was similar to his, so he could be used as a test subject to improve his spells in the future.
Liang Zixing could still refine rank one pills. Only Shadow Fox was useless.
After directly taking back the part of the soul in Shadow Fox's sea of consciousness and merging it with the main soul, Wang Daoyuan discovered that the remaining four clones had lost their self-awareness.
At this time, the total amount of the part of the soul in all the clones was one-tenth of his complete soul, compared to 11% before.
He tried to separate one-thousandth of his soul and merge it with Shadow Fox's sea of consciousness again. The clones once again developed self-awareness, but it was much weaker than before.
This seemed to be a problem with the cultivation method. When the total amount of the part of the soul exceeded one-tenth of the complete soul, the clone would develop self-awareness.
