Inside the other three white light clusters, two instances of the Golden Sword Technique appeared, as well as a first-grade talisman, the Earth Wall Charm.

When used, it can summon a thick, high earthen wall about a zhang tall, providing excellent defense.

Lu Xuan immersed himself in mentally digesting the Golden Sword Technique, carefully experiencing and understanding the subtleties of the sword technique.

As his spiritual power circulated, a beam of golden light emerged almost instantly, whizzing through a massive rock with a swoosh.

He felt that his mastery of this sword technique had reached the Minor Proficiency Boundary, requiring less spiritual power when used, having faster speed and significantly increased power.

The six mature Spirit Firefly Grasses, along with the six white light clusters they produced, further enhanced Lu Xuan’s combat strength.

He even wished that Qin Ming would arrive later, ideally after all the Spirit Firefly Grasses had matured – he could even accept if the Red Cloud Pine or Sword Grass matured too.

However, he clearly understood this was an unrealistic fantasy. Once the enemy discovered his bottom line and movement patterns, they would naturally take action quickly.

That night, all was quiet.

A figure silently emerged outside Lu Xuan’s courtyard without making any noise.

“That damn kid, quite cunning, hiding inside the house without coming out.”

“However, do you think you’ll be safe just by hiding at home? You’re too naive.”

Qin Ming quietly stayed outside the courtyard, looking at the black thorn on the bluestone courtyard walls, a mocking smile floated on his face.

Relying on his cultivation level, which was two minor realms higher than Lu Xuan’s, he was fearless, viewing Lu Xuan as a cat treats a mouse, and even deliberately met Lu Xuan face to face.

Unexpectedly, that Qi Cultivation Second Layer “Loose Cultivator” was quite cautious, hiding in the house all this time and no longer coming out to help others eradicate pests.

Upon his several days of surveillance and seeing no appearances of his target, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

“A basic Protective Array, although a first-grade array method would play a significant role, this kind of defensive power directly breaks it.”

Qin Ming pointed his finger towards the thin layer of Spiritual Energy Shield outside the courtyard, and several sharp ice spikes appeared, rotating and whistling, directly breaking the Protective Array.

Coming to the window, he used his spiritual sense to detect that there was no movement inside the house. The breaking of the Protective Array seemed not to have triggered any alertness from the little Loose Cultivator.

“His spiritual sense is too weak. Surprisingly, he’s sleeping so soundly. Well, it’s for the best. Let him die in his sleep and suffer less pain.”

Qin Ming muttered in his heart. Immediately, a spear of ice over three feet long appeared above his head, trembling lightly at its tip. The white jade-like spear body emitted a chilling aura.

The ice spear let out a soft whistling noise, swiftly piercing towards the cultivator on the bed.

“Huh?”

The ice spear pierced the entirety of the bed, but Qin Ming felt something was amiss. He approached the wooden bed, a layer of frost armor appeared on his body intending to inspect the situation.

The moment he stepped into the room, a golden light flashed at a high speed, instantly aiming for Qin Ming’s head.

The Frost Armor was easily penetrated by the golden light, which was about to pierce his head.

Sensing the deadly threat from the golden light, a jade badge around Qin Ming’s waist shattered silently. A layer of foggy spiritual light formed on his body, rapidly expanding, blocking the still forceful golden light on the outside.

“How audacious!”

Looking at the rapidly melting Golden Sword Technique, Qin Ming’s face flashed with an afterthought of fear.

He had been cautious enough to add a Frost Armor Technique for protection when he came in. But he never expected that a Qi Cultivation Second Layer Spirit Plant Master would be capable of releasing a sword technique with such killing power.

The Frost Armor Technique, which had proven itself countless times before, collapsed so easily!

If not for that jade badge artifact sensing the danger and providing timely protection, he might have fallen right under the attack of this sword technique.

After the fear passed, a look of regret covered his face.

The jade badge magic artifact that blocked the fatal strike for him was extremely hard to get, costing him nearly two hundred spirit stones. He always carried it with him just in case.

Unexpectedly, such a precious jade badge magic artifact was used up on this lowly Qi cultivation second layer loose cultivator!

“Very good, your proficiency in sword technique far exceeds my expectations, but, this is the end for you.”

“You’ve wasted my top-grade protective magical artifact, I will make you regret it!”

He looked at Lu Xuan, who appeared from the dark corner, and said sinisterly.

“I’m just a regular Spirit Plant Master, why would you, a Qi Practitioner at the Intermediate level, need to be so ruthless?”

Lu Xuan spoke indifferently.

“Your mistake was killing so many of my larvae and taking the spirit stones that should have been mine.”

“The biggest mistake is that you are just a Qi cultivation second layer loose cultivator, understand?”

Lu Xuan didn’t say much and gestured to Qin Ming.

“Hmph!”

Provoked by a Qi cultivation second layer Spirit Plant Master, a vicious fire flared up in Qin Ming’s heart, and his spiritual power began to circulate.

Dozens of ice spears emitting bone-chilling cold rapidly appeared in front of him, covering all possible directions Lu Xuan could dodge.

Lu Xuan showed no emotion as he swung both hands, releasing a dozen first-grade charms at once.

In a blink of an eye, dense sword blades rained down on Qin Ming like a rain of arrows, mixed with red fireballs, greenish-gray wooden spikes, and more.

“All these white spirit stones…”

A thought quickly flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind. This attack almost drained all the charms he had collected during this time. This was indeed a spirit stone war!

At the same time, a pale silver-white blade followed behind the numerous sword Qi, inconspicuous.

Seeing such a large number of sword Qi attacking him, Qin Ming cursed inwardly, pressed his palm, and suddenly raised a thick ice wall in front of him.

He indeed had deep skills in the ice system technique. His Frost Armor Technique could be thin enough to freeze the Black Bud Worm Larva as thin as hair strands, and could also quickly form such a strong ice wall for protection.

Hundreds, thousands of sword Qi roared and came. With the sound of clinking, numerous fine cracks appeared on the ice wall. Under the subsequent sword Qi attack, the cracks spread rapidly, and large and small ice blocks fell.

A loud bang.

The red fireball hit the crack, the ice and fire mingled, and a violent explosion occurred instantaneously.

A huge hole appeared on the ice wall.

A silver-white sword light quietly passed through it, aiming at Qin Ming’s head.

“Coming!”

A flying sword flew out from Qin Ming’s waist to meet the silver-white blade.

Just as the two were about to touch, the silver-white blade suddenly split into dozens of thin remnants.

The remnants carried sharp sword intent, and under Qin Ming’s horrified gaze, they attacked every part of his body.

The largest remnant circled behind Qin Ming’s head, brushed lightly, and a thin line appeared on the back of his neck. Immediately after, bright red blood splashed out.

The moment his head fell, the last bit of conscious in Qin Ming saw one or several thin remnants stuck in his limbs, heart, private part, and other places.

“Is this bloody Qi cultivation second layer?”

Regret surged in his heart, and then his consciousness sank into endless darkness.
