Chapter 475: Eliminating Fu Daimu (IV)
Li Yuanjiao stepped back as he took a healing pill, and quietly observed the ensuing battle.
Zhe Ledai was already in a dire situation under the siege of Li Wushao and Zhu Xian. Fu Daimu was retreating from Yuan Chengdun's relentless attacks, and he also had to guard against Fei Luoya. The tide had clearly turned against him.
We'll just have to watch out for any desperate counterattack in his final moments.
Li Yuanjiao advanced with his sword, a profound spirit mist enveloping his body as he hovered on the edge of the battlefield, silently waiting for his opponents to exhaust their strength.
Zhe Ledai was already using secret techniques. Being surrounded by the three adversaries, he was soon covered in wounds and bloody holes, wilting under the assault. Li Wushao transformed into his true form, crushing Zhe Ledai's lower body with his tail while Zhu Xian lashed out with a rattan whip, tearing off his opponent's head.
"Junior Brother!!"
Fu Daimu had been his friend for over a hundred years. At that moment, tears welled up in his eyes and he nearly lost his mind from the grief. He had pushed the spell in his hand and his immortal foundation to its limit, yet he still could not escape.
Yuan Chengdun's power had grown increasingly formidable, and each strike he delivered was enhanced by the power of his immortal foundation. Unable to unleash his spell, Fu Daimu began showing signs of despair and madness.
Li Yuanjiao watched Fu Daimu's expression change repeatedly as if he were fighting for his life. He stood back in the air, secretly praying that this Old Mount Yue man would not break the formation as he could not afford to pay for it.
Fortunately, Kong Tingyun's formation plate was exceptionally durable, being a jade heirloom that could maintain a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm defense in any environment. In this battle, he lost only five or six Spirit Stones and more than a dozen jade stones. Li Yuanjiao was very delighted and yearned to possess this formation plate.
I wonder how many Spirit Stones this formation plate costs... If it's accidentally destroyed, I might really have to empty our family's vault.
While Li Yuanjiao was preoccupied with his thoughts, Fu Daimu had enveloped himself in a blood mist while fighting desperately.
Li Yuanjiao withdrew and continued waiting amongst the spirit mist. He did not have to wait long before a gust of blood wind swept past him.
The old Mount Yue man's head had been crushed into pieces.
"Brother Jiao, are you all right?"
Although Yuan Chengdun had depleted a significant amount of true essence in this battle, he still managed to fly toward Li Yuanjiao out of concern. Li Yuanjiao nodded and thanked him, then put away the formation plate.
Although Fu Daimu was not particularly skilled at refining weapons, his cultivation was built on this dharma weapon, sacrificing around eighty to a hundred thousand human lives which could threaten Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Even in the face of Sprawling Azure Mountain, it managed to hold out for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn... What a powerful weapon...
"This object should no longer be used. I will take it back to the clan to refashion it," Yuan Chengdun remarked casually as he picked up the item.
Having dealt the most damage during the siege, Yuan Chengdun naturally had the right to make the first pick.
Fei Luoya merely cupped his fist and said, "Brother Jiao, please go ahead!"
Li Yuanjiao accepted the invitation. He swept his eyes over the items, then said, "Let's take out a few types of treasured panaceas first. These are needed to establish connections with those on Fuchen Peak in the sect. If the Peak Master needs treasured panaceas in the future, I'll have to trouble you two, fellow Daoists."
"Of course."
Zhu Xian and Fei Luoya nodded in agreement, while Yuan Chengdun seemed thoughtful.
Li Yuanjiao collected three treasured panaceas, after making it clear that these were for building connections. He then took a Clear Cloud Elk Fruit, which could be used to solidify true essence and regenerate severed limbs.
Watching Li Yuanjiao take the fruit, Li Wushao finally breathed a silent sigh of relief. Since he would be the last to pick the spoils, he knew he would not be able to secure any treasured panacea.
As long as this panacea is in the master's hands, there's still hope of obtaining it... maybe I won't need to spend decades repairing my tail hooks... he thought quietly to himself.
Fei Luoya took the last treasured panacea, the Wall Mountain Essence Flower, which could assist in cultivation and increase mana. The remaining miscellaneous items were split equally between Li Wushao and Zhu Xian. Although their value was not high, at least they did not return empty-handed.
Yuan Chengdun had managed to obtain a Foundation Establishment Realm dharma artifact, and Fei Luoya's territory had doubled, leaving them in high spirits.
They rode the wind and departed, and Yuan Chengdun bade farewell to everyone with a bright smile before leaving. Fei Luoya stared at Great Jueting's remains in satisfaction.
Li Yuanjiao, fearing he might follow Fu Daimu's example, reminded him, "Fellow Daoist... don't follow Fu Daimu's path if you intend to align with us. That person in my family... abhors that path. Please be very mindful."
Fei Luoya was slightly stunned and hurriedly replied, "Of course! I understand."
