hemist to refine pills on their behalf is difficult even if they are willing to offer spirit stones. It all depends on whether the alchemist is willing.Five furnaces of alchemy, successfully refined t..."Mingqi, your disciple's attitude isn't small." Mei Wuque also found it quite amusing. In the past, whenever they competed, besides a few with obvious grudges who immediately became hostile, most would at least be polite to each other. After all, it was only among their six people vying for the right to use Fei Xie Thirteen Peaks for just thirty years. Thirty years later, Fei Xie Thirteen Peaks still returned to their original owners.

... while someone like Lianhua's clones were invited, they were only there as hired muscle. They put in the effort expected of them, but they rarely risked their lives.

This seemingly ordinary person's breath wasn't ordinary at all, he was incredibly ambitious. He immediately wanted to challenge one of the top three most powerful individuals among the thirteen.

"It was recommended to me by Senior Brother Tu Xinyun. He certainly isn't modest in his speech," Mingqi said. While Mingqi had some acquaintance with Tu Xinyun, he wasn't very fond of the lotus avatar, who was difficult to control and whom he rarely interacted with.

"Since this person is not even respectful to my junior sister Mingqi, then my elder brother need not be polite to him. Zhang Daoist, you should spar with him, life and death are at stake." Mei Wuque still looked as courteous as before. Mentioning the life and death of the lotus avatar, it seemed like a trivial matter to him.

“Not bad!” Zhang Yuan stepped out of the pleasure boat, standing halfway in the air. His robe fluttered in the wind, his beard swaying, giving him a somewhat ethereal and refined appearance.

The lotus avatar remained impassive from beginning to end. Its figure moved with a single, unrestrained gesture. With a flick of its left hand, it summoned the clouds and mist into existence, shaping them into a flying sword within its grasp.

At this time, the void was filled with shadowy figures, appearing as if countless people were forming. Lotus Flower's avatar moved through the empty space as if it were solid ground, her long sword only pointing at Zhang Yuan in the void. Those gradually fading figures seemed like immortals guiding the way, their sword energy drifting and ethereal.

Just as Mei Wujue and the others were about to make some jokes to liven up the atmosphere, their expressions changed drastically. The eyes of everyone present were drawn to the sword that had appeared out of nowhere like a bolt from the blue.

The lotus avatar's strike was instantaneous, and in that moment, nothing else in heaven and earth could compare to the ethereal yet domineering sword light.

Zhang Yuan's face was solemn. He reached out a hand, and eight balls of thunder light flickered in the void. Inside them, lightning danced like dragons and snakes. In the midst of these eight balls of thunder, a thunder python seemed to writhe.

From the midst of the thunderbolts, eight monstrous beasts with lion heads and serpent bodies emerged, cloaked in lightning. They encircled Zhang Yuan from all directions, forming a formidable array.

"Roar"

The roars of creatures like serpents and lions came one after another, their sound waves vibrating and forming ripples. These ripples connected seamlessly, causing the lake water to churn and roil. Centered around these eight lion-headed, serpent-bodied beasts, a gigantic Bagua (Eight Trigrams) shape emerged.

The curtain of water stretched from heaven to earth. Facing this massive rotating Bagua diagram, the illusory figure of the lotus-flower division became even more detached. It still held a long sword, coming eastward with one strike.

In the midst of other phantoms, one moved with an excruciatingly slow pace toward the lotus avatar. Upon merging with the lotus avatar, the long sword in its hand seemed to gain a hint of inexplicable energy.

At the same time, countless phantoms rushed towards the lotus incarnation one after another. Like a flood surging in, they poured into the Bagua diagram from all directions.

"Roar!" The beast with the python's head and lion's body let out a roar, its sound waves rippling outwards. These waves could cleave gold and pierce stone. Under the void, even the cultivators on the pleasure boat whose strength was slightly weaker couldn't help but change their expressions. The sound waves entering their ears were like ripping apart one's mind, causing a sharp pain in their heads. Zhang Yuan's Bagua Python Lion Roar Heavenly Formation had gained quite a reputation outside Flying Scorpion Island over these years. It now seemed that its magical powers had become even more complete. Those outside the formation were already affected to such an extent, let alone the enemies who fell into the formation.

At this time, even the other cultivators couldn't quite grasp the sword cultivator's methods. The sword intent was solid and contained, not leaking out in the slightest. Even though they were battle-hardened veterans, they couldn't discern its origins. It looked like an ordinary sword strike, yet it carved an extraordinary path, as if flying in from beyond the heavens. Apart from a faint trace of sword energy, spectators watching from afar couldn't even sense how threatening that sword intent truly was.

Compared to the imposing formation of eight snake-headed, lion-bodied beasts that formed the Bagua Panlong Lion Roar Formation, this solitary sword seemed too thin. Yet, it remained undeterred by the thunderous roar, capable of shaking mountains and splitting rocks, stirring up celestial phenomena. Phantom figures continuously surged into the formation, relentlessly converging towards the phantom image of the lotus incarnation.

That sword shattered waves of sound, getting closer and closer to Zhang Yuan.

An outsider wouldn't be able to feel the terror of this sword. However, Zhang Yuan was deeply shaken at this moment. Despite his attacks coming in waves, the other party's seemingly ordinary sword could break through all his variations, always directly targeting his vital points. Beneath those phantoms, even his grand formation couldn't contain it. As the number of phantoms gathered by the sword increased, the ethereal sword intent became increasingly heavy, even making his grand formation feel overwhelmed.

At this time, the other party still moved unhindered and struck him with a sword.

The thunderous sound waves, forming a gossip diagram, shattered one after another under the seemingly unremarkable blade. Zhang Yuan could even feel the sword intent getting closer and closer, and even his own body felt like it was about to be torn apart by the sharp edge.

“Hold your hand, friend. I offer you the Golden Vault True Lightning.” When the sword tip pierced through Zhang Yuan's several protective divine arts, it was already within arm’s reach. Zhang Yuan, shivering with fear, roared in terror and waved his hand, sending a three-foot-tall golden wood lotus blossom towards the division. The golden lightning force within made the branch shine with golden light.

The lotus avatar reached out with a hand and drew the section of golden wood into its grasp. The blade remained firm, and as everyone came to their senses, they realized that the lotus avatar's main body was still outside the formation. They couldn't tell whether it was the main body or just an illusion that had entered the formation earlier.

"Your divine powers are vast, my friend. I am Zhang Yuan, bowing to you in admiration. May I ask your name"Zhang Yuan retracted his formation and bowed respectfully to the lotus flower incarnation. At this moment, his robe was already soaked with cold sweat from half of it. If he hadn't reacted in time just now, he would have been torn apart by that unmatched sword intent. Luckily, this person only aimed at his Jin Que True Thunder, with no intention of killing him. Otherwise, he would have been in real danger this time.

"Nameless, I apologize for the offense." The lotus avatar's sword in her hand dissipated into smoke and mist. Her expression remained unchanged as before, devoid of emotions – no joy, no anger, no arrogance of a victor.

The lotus avatar flickered and reappeared behind Mingqi.

At this moment, even Mei Wu Que and Ming Qi and the others gasped in astonishment. They had originally thought that the Lotus Avatar was arrogant and intended to teach Zhang Yuan a lesson. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan, who ranked among the top few in terms of strength among the thirteen people, was pushed to the brink by him. If he hadn't proactively given up the Jin Que Zhen Lei accumulated in the Golden Thunderwood, I'm afraid he would have been defeated at this point.

Now that everyone looked back at the lotus doppelganger's expressionless face, they no longer found it arrogant. Instead, their eyes seemed to hold nothing but kendo. you escape, come to Xiangdu and look for me."Taking advantage of the wind and thunder obscuring their vision, Lu Xiaotian gently pushed Yan Xiaoyu with his palm.
