Banshee Family Training Record

Page 327

Realizing something, a hint of heartache suddenly appeared in her eyes: "It must be very expensive, right? Such good things, no, I can't take them all."

"I'll only take this double-edged battle axe. The other two are easier to sell, so you can take them and sell them to supplement the family income..."

Yun Chu'an was both amused and exasperated by her arrangement. He pushed the weapon back and said, "That's why I say, eldest sister, you have absolutely no idea what our family's current strength is!"

"You can use them with peace of mind! I prepared a generous gift and asked an elder from the Weapon Forging Peak of the Qingyun Sect to help forge these two weapons. It didn't cost much. On the contrary, the more he made, the more 'copper essence' he would get from me. He's overjoyed, so don't worry about me!"

He spoke in this way, and after much persuasion, he finally calmed the woman down and stopped worrying about the cost of the three divine weapons.

In fact, as a martial arts fanatic, with such a divine weapon before her, how could she possibly give it up if she wasn't really worried about the family's expenses?

Seeing that Yun Chuan was indeed quite wealthy, she felt relieved and held three weapons in her hand, her expression more excited than ever before.

"Chu'an!" she suddenly called out, her expression eager. "Let's have a fight!"

Yun Chu'an's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Huh? Me? Here?"

Ye Jinglan nodded vigorously, her expression eager to try: "Of course, just like we used to spar. With such a divine weapon in hand, it would be a real shame not to practice properly!"

She was extremely excited, gazing at Yun Chu'an's face with eyes full of longing for a powerful opponent.

Right now, all she wants is to have a good, satisfying fight!

"This... Eldest sister..."

Yun Chu'an was speechless, somewhat amused and exasperated. He wanted to say that the situation was tense, with all sorts of things to deal with everywhere, and he had no time for such a discussion with her.

Seeing Ye Jinglan's eager expression, he couldn't bear to spoil her fun. So, in the end, he nodded slightly, indicating that it was feasible, and then gripped his Guan Dao, golden lightning crackling around his body.

"Let's get this straight, big sister!" he suddenly added, "Let's hold back in our sparring. I have to go back to the front lines later; Lian Yanzhang is waiting for me."

Ye Jinglan curled her lip upon hearing this: "Tch, boring."

She longed for a battle where she could unleash her full power, but even so, it was still quite good: "Then come on, Chu'an, let me see if your strength, which strikes fear into the hearts of the Qin army, is just empty boasting!"

Golden lightning flashed across Yun Chu'an's body. Hearing this, she chuckled and said, "Alright then, big sister, if you lose, what should you give me in return?"

Ye Jinglan was inevitably reminded of the past. Back then, Yun Chu'an had jokingly asked her the same question, and she had jokingly replied, "If I lose, I'll marry you."

But now, just as she was about to blurt it out, a sudden thought flashed through her mind. The thought of You Wensi's current state caused her cheeks to flush slightly, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"We'll talk after you win!" With that, she rode the storm, a scimitar in her left hand and a double-edged battle axe in her right, and charged straight at Yun Chuan!

Yun Chu'an gripped his Guan Dao with both hands, wielding lightning, and charged head-on into battle with Ye Jinglan. He exerted all his strength, unleashing all the skills he had learned in his life, but the moment he clashed with Ye Jinglan, that familiar, unpleasant feeling surged up again.

Ye Jinglan was fast and agile, but most importantly, whenever she started to move, the surrounding wind would always move along with her movements, interfering with her actions.

This force wasn't very strong, yet it always managed to precisely interfere with his movements, causing them to deviate from perfection by just a tiny bit.

This slight difference, combined with Ye Jinglan's already agile dodging, resulted in a completely different outcome. Their weapons clashed in mid-air, and each time, Yun Chu'an couldn't exert perfect force, making his attacks and defenses less effective, while Ye Jinglan achieved twice the results with half the effort!

This was a pure technical domination. Ye Jinglan clung to his body, circling around him, constantly trying to break through his defenses, while Yun Chuan could only retreat repeatedly.

He inwardly screamed in despair; it was always the same when he sparred with Ye Jinglan. Under her rule of holding back all her strength, he was suffering a tremendous loss, almost completely dominated by her!

"what……"

He let out a sigh, suppressing his frustration, and poured all his energy into the sparring match.

He knew that his older sister wasn't just sparring with him, but also giving him pointers. If he could withstand Ye Jinglan's relentless interference and barrage of attacks, he would be able to handle even complex situations involving multiple opponents with ease in the future.

The two raced swiftly through the high heavens, engaging in fierce combat as intense as a dense rain.

However, at this very moment, in the shadows, there is another pair of eyes staring intently at this side.

He was the pillar of the state of Qin, surnamed Bai.

The Nascent Soul cultivator, dressed in white, was standing on a cloud, gazing intently at Yun Chu'an and Ye Jinglan as they sparred.

He carefully concealed his presence with magic, his eyes filled with excitement, because before seeing it with his own eyes, he never imagined that things would go so smoothly.

The last descendant of the Ghost Butterfly Clan and Yun Chu'an, their most recent and troublesome enemy, are actually allies!

In that case, many things can be explained.

Similarly, today, the net I specially prepared for this ghost butterfly can also catch both of them in one fell swoop!

Then, both the Mad Storm's Wandering Steps and the merits of defeating Yun Chu'an will belong to him.

He was very patient, like a seasoned hunter, carefully concealing his presence as he slowly advanced. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

Once within attack range, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, chanted incantations, and cast a spell. In an instant, his wide sleeves covered the entire sky, as if they could contain the whole world!

Ahead, the two people who were sparring suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing towards them. The world around them seemed to be distorted and deformed, and they were entering a completely new world.

Ye Jinglan's pupils contracted slightly. At that moment, she thought to herself, "This is bad! Chu'an, let's go!"

Chapter 661 The Cage, Counterattack, and Ascension Ye Jinglan shouted, her voice filled with extreme anxiety. Still afraid that this was not enough, she flung out a burst of spiritual energy with a gust of wind, seemingly about to sweep him away.

Yun Chu'an immediately snapped back to reality. Seeing that this "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" move was about to sweep his family away, how could he possibly want to escape alone? (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

He glanced around out of the corner of his eye and used his Qi Observation Technique to see that the enemy was at the Nascent Soul stage. He believed that the enemy was still within his control. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'm here to help you!" Instead of fleeing, he rode the lightning straight up into the sky and actually rushed into Bai Zhuguo's "Sleeve Universe"!

Seeing that he hadn't run away but instead came back, Ye Jinglan immediately became furious: "You—"

She was both anxious and angry, but at this moment there was nothing she could do. At the last moment, she could only grab Yun Chu'an's hand and be swept into the endless vortex with him.

Baek Jook-guk stood above the clouds, looking down at his sleeves with an expression of utter satisfaction.

His clothes are also a magic weapon. This move, "Universe in the Sleeve," can not only capture and seize people, but more importantly, it can torture them!

As a cultivator from the Qin state, he nominally adhered to the Zhou rites and the righteous path, but in reality, he was not hesitant to use any evil or heretical methods.

After all, torture and abuse are the most effective methods when facing the enemy!

His robe was a tool for mastering this art; its interior was connected to the secret realm he had personally created, together forming a massive execution ground capable of driving any Golden Core cultivator mad.

He planned that by doing so, he could completely subdue Ye Jinglan, and then he could finally grasp the "Raging Storm Steps" movement technique that he had been coveting.

Oh, and incidentally, their Qin state's biggest threat, Yun Chu'an, will also be dealt with by him.

What those incompetent soldiers on the front lines failed to do time and again, I'll have to clean up their mess today.

He felt so at ease, having achieved the best of both worlds, and his mood was quite pleasant for a moment.

At this moment, in the world within his sleeve, Yun Chuan and Ye Jinglan are falling.

They seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit, pulled downwards by immense gravity. Here, their flight abilities as Jinda monks seemed to be rendered useless; it appeared that only annihilation awaited them!

"Damn it!"

Ye Jinglan shouted, her profile still beautiful in the dark space, her eyes bright and lovely: "Chu An, grab me with both hands!"

Yun Chu'an gritted his teeth and reached out to grab Ye Jinglan's small hands. Then, he heard the woman shout loudly, "There is no bottomless black hole in this world, and our cultivation will not be so easily taken away!"

"Take courage, Chu'an! This is all an illusion. This feeling of weightlessness and the fear of near death are all illusions!"

"Be strong, face it, fight it, don't be afraid of it, defeat it! Only in this way will you become the master of your own power!"

She shouted this, trying to get Yun Chu'an to confront the mental torment head-on. She herself had gone through it, forging her willpower into something as sharp as steel, able to see through even the most terrifying illusions at a glance!

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an was suddenly taken aback.

Ok?

Hallucination? Illusion?

Psychological attack?

This……

real or fake……

The thought crossed his mind, and he subconsciously began to activate his only spell to protect his mind.

Bodhi Mirror Platform.

He closed his eyes, silently chanted a spell, and circulated his spiritual power. Then, a mirror gradually appeared behind his head.

Good and evil are rewarded accordingly; cause and effect are cyclical. Any illusions or hallucinations that affect my soul…

Everything can be returned!

The magnificent Buddhist chants resounded in the pitch-black "bottomless black hole" for a moment, and then all these illusions and hallucinations were returned to their true master!

Outside, high in the sky, Bai Zhuguo was flying rapidly through the heavens, preparing to return to Qin first. Once the surrounding environment was stable and safe, he would then carefully consider how to torture the two people.

Suddenly, however, he felt the whole world spin. Gravity seemed to malfunction, and then his body was sent flying backwards into the sky!

He had almost no defenses against the magical artifact that was bound to his soul. After all, he had crafted the artifact himself and it did not have any independent intelligence. Therefore, he never thought that it might turn against him.

Therefore, at this moment, he was completely unaware that the problem might be with the magic weapon on his body. Instead, he suddenly changed color and looked up at the sky.

What's going on? What's interfering with me?!

Could it be...

Extraterrestrial demons?!

His body continued to soar high, covering thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. In just a few breaths, he was almost breaking through the first layer of atmospheric protection!

For a moment, the only thing he could guess was that the one who had suddenly attacked him and wanted to elevate him to a higher position so that he could escape from this world was an "extraterrestrial demon" from outside the world who coveted their souls.

He frowned deeply, cursing the decline of those prestigious sects in recent years, turning them into useless cowards. He flicked his sleeve, channeled his spiritual energy to protect himself, and focused all his attention on preparing for battle.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about torturing the two people in his sleeve. His own safety was the most important thing!

"Ah--"

His brows furrowed as he continued to ascend, now breaking through the first layer of atmospheric protection and reaching an altitude of nearly a hundred miles above the ground.

The atmospheric protective layer of the Central Plains continent consists of five layers, with a total thickness exceeding ten thousand miles. Within each layer, there are protective arrays carved by countless sages and great beings throughout history, blocking, filtering, separating, and purifying the chaotic and impure forces from beyond the heavens.

At the same time, they can also suppress and weaken the extraterrestrial demons that intend to invade the land below. Under the protection of this heaven-guarding array, any cultivator can easily challenge and kill demons whose true strength far surpasses their own!

Bai Zhuguo's body continued to rise, reaching a height of several dozen miles in the blink of an eye. Here, the spiritual energy was extremely violent; ordinary cultivators here, let alone cultivate, would likely have their bodies torn apart by the turbulent currents.

Numerous hideous and terrifying extraterrestrial demons have already appeared, roaring as they attempt to break through the protective array that stretches for nearly ten thousand miles, pass through the vast atmospheric protective layer, and enter the stable cultivation world below.

However, here, their movements were suddenly like being stuck in a quagmire. Some extraterrestrial demons, which resembled giants but had four huge crab claws as arms, could only exert one-tenth of their strength here, even though they were at the late Nascent Soul stage!

Seeing the various demons here, Bai Zhuguo felt the weightlessness intensify. He surmised that the extraterrestrial demon that had suddenly attacked him must be nearby, so he immediately snorted coldly and swung his sword to meet it head-on!

He was also one of the most powerful cultivators in the Qin Kingdom. Even among those in the Nascent Soul stage, he could be considered one of the top. At this moment, he swung his sword to kill these extraterrestrial demons. Neither the giant-headed demon nor the strange giant demon with multiple crab claws was a match for him!

And so he charged wildly through the high heavens, showing no fear in the face of attacks from various different demons. His sword flashed with light, first killing the weaker ones, and finally charging head-on into the strongest one, a giant demon with crab arms!

After fifty rounds of fighting, Bai Zhuguo was almost unilaterally dominating and crushing his opponent. Finally, with a mournful howl from the enormous creature, its massive body gradually disintegrated and dissipated, leaving not a trace in this world.

Bai Zhuguo let out a long breath, but his nerves were still pounding. The unpleasant feeling of weightlessness hadn't disappeared, making his heart race uncontrollably.

What's going on? That extraterrestrial demon that's been interfering with my curse hasn't disappeared yet?

Where is it?!

"get out!"

With a roar, he drew his sword and charged upwards, covering more than ten miles in a single breath, heading towards the outer edge of the atmospheric protective layer to confront even more extraterrestrial demons.

Meanwhile, on the other side, about two thousand miles away, in another part of this atmospheric protective layer, another person was also fighting.

It's Nangong Wan.

She recently heard that the concentration of pollution from extraterrestrial demons outside the atmospheric protective layer has been rising, so she took some time to come here to purify it.

She was dressed in a conservative black and white sword outfit that completely covered her curvaceous figure, concealing her ample breasts and heavy buttocks. Only when she leaped to dodge could the fabric cling to her body, barely outlining her sexy and graceful lines.

She no longer cared about the extraterrestrial demons below the Foundation Establishment stage. With her strength, she could shatter all these weak demons simply by relying on the instinctive protection of her true qi.

To ensure efficiency, she primarily hunted only demons with strength at the Nascent Soul stage or above. With her power, a simple slash of her longsword was enough to kill them from nearly a hundred miles away, requiring almost no effort.

She was carrying out her work there when suddenly her expression changed, and she turned her head with a look of surprise, as if she had seen something extremely abnormal.

She looked into the distance, where a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in white was battling against the extraterrestrial demons.

His cultivation level was not high, only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, at this moment, he was desperately trying to break outwards, fighting to the death with the extraterrestrial demons who intended to invade the world below. Countless demons died at his hands in a short time!

And that person's name was Bai...

What was that again?

Nangong Wan opened her mouth slightly, but for a moment she couldn't remember the other person's name.

Chapter 662 Chu An, do you have feelings for me?

As she was feeling embarrassed, a streak of light flashed from the side, and then a simply dressed nun appeared before her, pressing her palms together and softly saying, "Amitabha, was that benefactor invited by Benefactor Nangong?"

Nangong Wan looked embarrassed: "No, no, it seems he came by himself..."
