Child, you're in a hurry!

"Uncle Fu!"

Xu Yunxin shouted urgently.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Uncle Fu also knew that he was at his limit and could not fight head-on against this vampire cultivator who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and whose spiritual energy had already condensed into a powerful aura.

He unleashed two "fireball talismans" to hinder the vampire's interception while rapidly retreating towards the direction where Xu Yunxin had transformed.

After ruthlessly eliminating the well-built female cultivator, Xu Yunxin also moved the tree trunk with all his might towards Uncle Fu. However, the golden Buddha tree he had transformed into moved slowly, only able to walk like an ordinary person. Moreover, the three-breath transformation time of [LV0 Wild Transformation] was only one breath left!

Fortunately, Uncle Fu was wearing a vest on his feet, and with a single leap he covered several meters, instantly appearing near the golden Buddha tree that Xu Yunxin had transformed into.

When the vampire saw Uncle Fu rush to the vicinity of the golden tree that Xu Yunxin had transformed into, the speed of his pursuit suddenly slowed down.

Seeing that Xu Yunxin was still trying to move forward, and Uncle Fu was also trying to continue to run forward, Jin Shu and Uncle Fu were still nearly three zhang apart. Thinking back to the situation where Jin Shu killed his companion, the vampire Jie Xiu suddenly roared!

With this shout, a layer of light gray-black aura erupted from the vampire cultivator's body. He inhaled this aura into his stomach and then spat it onto the long sword in his hand.

After exhaling that mouthful of grayish-black energy, the vampire cultivator's face turned deathly pale, and even his crimson lips lost their color.

However, the longsword in the vampire's hand, empowered by this burst of energy, seemed to ignite with black flames, and the entire longsword hummed and trembled incessantly.

The vampire, wielding his longsword, charged forward more than ten feet, then abruptly released his grip and shouted, "Go!"

After that shout of "Hurry!", the black flame longsword did not fall from his hand, but instead emitted a sharp whistle and slashed viciously at Uncle Fu with lightning speed!

Uncle Fu only had time to hold the long banner pole horizontally in front of him before the black flame longsword struck!

"clang!"

"Click."

With a loud bang, the long banner pole in Uncle Fu's hand snapped in two. Uncle Fu tilted his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying by the force of the black flame longsword!

The black flame longsword struck successfully, yet it did not fall. It then swept through the air, making a half-circle motion, and bit into Uncle Fu's falling figure, slashing down again!

The black flame longsword was much faster than Uncle Fu was falling. It was about to strike Uncle Fu, and Uncle Fu was clearly powerless to stop it!

A rare smile appeared on the vampire Jie Xiu's deathly pale face!

"Snapped!"

A golden palm flashed, striking the black flame longsword with the slightest touch, and actually sweeping the arrogant black flame longsword away with a single palm strike!

The vampire stared in disbelief as his black flame sword, imbued with protective energy, was swept away, his eyes bulging like a toad's!

This was enhanced with protective energy, energy that he had refined for three years and fused with the lives of thousands of people!

Was it just swept away by a tree like that?

"Evil magic! What kind of monster are you?!"

Finally, the vampire Jie Xiu could no longer withstand the mindless visual impact. For the first time in this battle, he broke down, pointing his trembling finger at the golden tree and shouting at Xu Jinfoshu Yunxin in a broken voice!

If Xu Yunxin hadn't been unable to speak during his transformation, he would have definitely replied, "Kid, you're getting impatient!"

"Don't rush, there's an even better trick up your sleeve!"

While the vampire Jie Xiu was still staring at his black flame longsword with wide eyes, another golden palm had already slammed down on his head!

"Snapped!"

The longsword imbued with his refined inner energy was swept away by Xu Yunxin's golden palm. Without the support of this inner energy refined over three years, the vampire cultivator was also forced back to his original form. He used all the spiritual power he had left to leap outwards, but only half of his body managed to escape before the other half was struck by Xu Yunxin's golden palm.

It's like swatting flies, only much louder!

After striking with this palm, the golden tree trunk rippled like water, and Xu Yunxin collapsed to the ground, almost completely exhausted, unable to even move a finger.

Uncle Fu, who had been sent flying by the black flame longsword, rushed back and hurriedly tried to feed Xu Yunxin a spirit pill. After swallowing the pill and with the buff from his druid class, he finally recovered after catching his breath.

"Holy crap, it seems reality is different from games. In games, once your mana bar runs out, it's gone. But in reality, if it runs out completely, you're really in for a world of trouble!"

However, the vampire-like cultivator was actually a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator who had genuinely cultivated Qi. Although Xu Yunxin's golden palm cleaved him in two at the waist and half of his internal organs rotted, he was still alive, panting heavily with his big eyes bulging out.

Now that Xu Yunxin could speak, he hurriedly turned to the vampire Jie Xiu and said what he had been holding back for so long: "How about that? I told you not to rush, because if you rush, you'll just give away free stuff!"

"You! Hah~ hah, you...you~you!"

"What do you mean 'you'? If you want to die, then die now. If you don't, then tell me why you set up an ambush here. Who sent you?"

"Heh...heh...I want to know...first...first save...save..."

"Pah!"

"Snapped!"

Before the vampire Jie Xiu could finish speaking, Xu Yunxin spat on him and then kicked the deadpan face hard.

The kick wasn't very forceful, but the man's chest suddenly swelled up, he grunted twice, his head lolled to the side, and he died just like that.

"Oh, it's so fragile?"

"I knew I shouldn't have stepped on it." Xu Yunxin said innocently.

Uncle Fu was both angry and amused. He looked helplessly at Xu Yunxin. He had wanted to try to get some information out of this Xiu, but he was humiliated by the young master. He was furious!

Next, Uncle Fu went to clean up the battlefield, while Xu Yunxin followed, standing near each dead body and pretending to look around.

Uncle Fu was initially worried that the young master wouldn't be able to handle the sight of dismembered limbs everywhere, but to his surprise, the young master adapted quite well and followed him around to see every single one of them.

Uncle Fu was very relieved: "Master, Madam, the young master has really grown up. His performance today truly showed he can stand on his own!"

[Original source detected... Absorb?]

"Draw, draw, draw it all!"

[Absorbing, absorption complete. A total of twelve incomplete source stones and two white source stones have been absorbed.]

[The incomplete origin can be merged into the white origin. Shall we merge?]

"Merge!"

[In fusion, fusion complete, two 0.1-point white essence particles absorbed.]

"So little?"

"Those fragmented origins were extracted from the bodies of the deceased cultivators. Twelve of them were fused into one portion, a ratio of one to one hundred? So it should be one to two portions? And there are losses during the fusion process?"

Xu Yunxin then opened the system to check.
