My Fairy Growth System

Then the cover shrank to envelop only Gao Shen, and the nine fiery pythons on it surged toward the Loose Cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Gao\'s Nine Python Profound Fire Cover, worthy of being an ancient treasure forged in imitation of the Immortal Artifact Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, indeed possesses remarkable power. However, I cannot let Fellow Daoist Gao hog all the limelight. Come out, my beloved ones!"

While speaking, Chen Shi of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect took out ten coffins from his Storage Bag. As the lids opened, ten delicately beautiful female corpses leaped out and charged towards the Loose Cultivators.

Xue Mei of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect didn\'t waste words. A red light emanated from her body, and in the blink of an eye, three identical Xue Meis appeared, all wielding blood-colored long knives and speeding towards the Loose Cultivators with great velocity.

The other demonic cultivators also employed their own methods, launching attacks on the Loose Cultivators.

Despite being outnumbered, they still dared to take the initiative to attack. None of the present parties found this strange, acknowledging the vast gap between Sect Cultivators and Loose Cultivators.

On the side of the Loose Cultivators, following the whispered messages from Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and others, including Yu Qingtan, over eighty Loose Cultivators chose to engage the oncoming demonic cultivators.

The remaining Loose Cultivators opted to flee back into the forested area.

The melee between both sides began.

There were twenty-seven demonic cultivators: ten were at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, eleven at the mid-stage, and six at the early stage.

On the side of the Loose Cultivators, there were one hundred forty-two people: only thirty at the late stage, seventy at the mid-stage, and the rest at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The nine fiery pythons released by Gao Shen\'s Nine Python Profound Fire Cover were all at the late stage of Foundation Establishment battle strength, and ordinary Spiritual Artifacts and talismans couldn\'t withstand them. Within a few breaths, several early-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators were devoured.

The so-called Ancient Treasures were third-stage magical artifacts refined by cultivators of antiquity, which one could barely activate with the help of Spirit Stones during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Chen Sheng wielded an upper-grade Spiritual Artifact Fiery Flag, and together with several dozen cultivators who specialized in fire-based spells, they barely managed to fend off the assault of the nine fiery pythons through an aggressive defense.

The ten Yin Corpses of Chen Shi of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect had four that possessed late-stage Body Cultivation battle strength of Foundation Establishment and six at the mid-stage. The Loose Cultivators were only able to hold them back by relying on their numbers.

The technique Xue Mei of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect used was the Bloodshadow Clone Technique, where each clone possessed the strength of the original body.

Unfortunately for Xue Mei, she was very unlucky.

Among the Loose Cultivators who besieged her three clones were Fang Ling, Fu Nian, and Yu Qingtan.

Fang Ling and Fu Nian, it turns out, had also broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Hehehe, these demonic brats are degenerating more and more, stooping so low as to rob on the roads. And this Bloodshadow Clone Technique, without the support of good Soul cultivation methods, each clone\'s soul is as weak as can be.

Ling\'er, use the Blood Xi Soul-Cleaving Sword to give them a lesson in humility."

The voice of Ancestor Blood Xi echoed in Fang Ling\'s mind.

Not long ago, when Fang Ling had his breakthrough to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, Ancestor Blood Xi awoke from his slumber.

"Understood!"

Fang Ling replied in his mind. Then, a faint red sword phantom formed in his Sea of Consciousness. While Xue Mei\'s clone was engaged in combat with two late-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators using her blood sword, he launched it straight at her head.

Around Xue Mei\'s clone was a cocoon-shaped protective shield formed by the Blood Cocoon Technique, which allowed her to completely ignore the attacks from mid-stage and early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Thus, she planned to first eliminate the two late-stage cultivators before wiping out these ants.

Suddenly, she sensed a fluctuation from the direction of the back of her head through her Divine Sense.

Upon close inspection, it turned out to be a tiny red Divine Sense sword.

"Soul Attack Spell!"

Xue Mei\'s clone was engulfed in shock, as there was actually someone among this despicable group of loose cultivators who knew the rare Soul Attack Spell.

Not only were these spells extremely rare, but they were also incredibly difficult to cultivate. However, once mastered, one could look down upon their peers and even fight across levels.

Most defensive measures were ineffective against Soul Attack Spells; one could only rely on their Divine Sense to withstand them.

Because of the clone, he used a secret technique to split his soul into three parts, leaving the Divine Sense of the clone at only a mid-Foundation Establishment stage level.

"Ah~"

The Divine Sense blade pierced directly through the Blood Cocoon and into Xue Mei\'s clone\'s Sea of Consciousness. Xue Mei clutched his head, crying out in pain, nearly fainting.

The Blood Cocoon shattered and the encircling loose cultivators wouldn\'t miss such an opportunity—attacks of spells and Spiritual Artifacts rained down upon him.

"Bang~"

Xue Mei\'s clone exploded, turning into a blood shadow and swiftly returned to the body of the clone that was battling against Yu Qingtan and the others.

Almost at the same time, another blood shadow also returned to the body of Xue Mei\'s clone that was in combat with Yu Qingtan and the others.

It turned out that Fu Nian had deployed a Four Directions Thunder-Fire Talisman Formation using a large number of Second Stage Fireball Talismans, Fire Net Talismans, and Summon Lightning Talismans. He took advantage of the moment Xue Mei\'s clone was preoccupied battling two late-Foundation Establishment loose cultivators to launch a bold ambush and trapped him within the formation.

Among the many cultivation skills, Talisman science was relatively easy to learn, while the art of Formations was extremely difficult to master. The art of Talisman Formations was something even ordinary cultivators dared not dream about.

Formations were powerful, but setting them up was quite difficult; the art of Talisman Formations used talismans to lower the difficulty and speed of deploying a Formation to an extreme.

What drove Xue Mei to rage was that his blood-type spells were naturally countered by fire-type and thunder-type spells.

Trapped within the Four Directions Thunder-Fire Talisman Formation, his Blood Cocoon only endured the attacks of fireballs and lightning strikes for three breaths before shattering.

The surrounding loose cultivators naturally unleashed their techniques in unison, coordinating with the attacks of the Formation to turn this clone of Xue Mei into a blood shadow.

Xue Mei\'s clone engaged in a battle of spells with Yu Qingtan and the others was also in a dire situation.

While there was only one late-Foundation Establishment loose cultivator in this small skirmish, Yu Qingtan had taken out two standard longsword Spiritual Artifacts from his previous loot and rubbed them against each other in a specific way to execute the spell, Devil\'s Penetrating Sound, which he had copied from Shi Kuang. The unpleasant sound went straight into Xue Mei\'s clone\'s soul, causing great discomfort, while the others only found the sound somewhat unpleasant.

She (Yu Qingtan) wielded the power of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage of Spiritual Power, but used the Breath-Concealing Technique to hide the unique aura of her own Spiritual Power.

Devil\'s Penetrating Sound was a sonic and soul-type attack spell. Although not as deadly to Xue Mei\'s soul as Ancestor Blood Xi\'s Soul-Cleaving Blade, it still caused the Xue Mei clone to use most of his Divine Sense to suppress the impact of the Devil\'s Sound on his soul.

Xue Mei\'s clone cursed his bad luck, then decisively charged towards Yu Qingtan.

The other loose cultivators naturally wouldn\'t let him have his way, intercepting him at every turn, while Yu Qingtan also used a highly accomplished Water Escape Technique to evade and avoided direct combat.

Under the influence of Devil\'s Penetrating Sound, Xue Mei\'s clone found it somewhat difficult to handle the attacks from the other loose cultivators.

At that moment, the other two blood shadows merged into this Xue Mei\'s clone, causing the strength of his soul to surge dramatically.

Feeling the effect of the Devil\'s Sound diminish significantly, he manifested a dozen or so tiny blood-red swords around him, shooting them towards the surrounding loose cultivators.

Second Stage Blood Sword Technique.

In a flash, he appeared three yards away from Yu Qingtan, with a bloody long knife in his hand that carried a fierce red qi, slashing towards Yu Qingtan.

Second Stage Blood Escape Technique.

"Damn wretch, die!"
