Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 402 - 372: Market Battle

Faced with the attack of the assailant, Xuu Mengyuan reacted swiftly.

So much so that he managed to dodge the assailant’s strike.

"Hmph!"

Missing his strike, the assailant let out a low snort.

His still-moving body abruptly turned around, swinging again towards Xuu Mengyuan, the sharp blade in his hand gleaming coldly, bursting with a strong Foundation Establishment aura, slashing towards Xuu Mengyuan’s neck with a whoosh.

Gripping the sharp blade, targeting a vital point directly, the move was extremely fierce.

This time, at this critical moment, sensing the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from the opponent, Xuu Mengyuan’s expression changed. There was no room for carelessness. He immediately released his cultivation, his right hand swiping over his Storage Bag, instantly summoning the White Dragon Blade.

Clang!

In an instant, the White Dragon Blade, under Xuu Mengyuan’s control, moved at an astonishing speed, meeting the opponent’s sharp blade head-on, generating a thunderous clashing sound of metal against metal.

The sharp blade’s attack was halted mid-air.

Not only that, Xuu Mengyuan did not stop there, he summoned another artifact, the White Moon Ring.

After summoning the White Moon Ring, Xuu Mengyuan quickly infused it with magical power, driving it ruthlessly towards the assailant, showing no mercy.

In a brief exchange, Xuu Mengyuan realized the malicious intent of the opponent, and naturally, he would not be lenient.

"You reached Foundation Establishment?!"

Facing Xuu Mengyuan’s attack, sensing the Foundation Establishment aura fluctuation on the White Jade Ring, the assailant’s expression changed, his tone incredulous, voice low.

This person came for Xuu Mengyuan, so naturally, he recognized Xuu Mengyuan.

He was no ordinary rogue; he was precisely Xue Wuyan, an elder of the Hengyue Sect.

Disguised, Xue Wuyan infiltrated Guangde County, tracked Xuu Mengyuan’s whereabouts, and came here specifically to strike at the opportune moment.

Just as he had planned before, launching a sneak attack on Xuu Mengyuan in Guangde County, he cared nothing for appearances.

As long as he could personally slay Xuu Mengyuan, that was all that mattered.

"Are you perhaps Xue Wuyan’s colleague?"

Observing Xue Wuyan’s reaction, Xuu Mengyuan quickly contemplated, first thinking of Xue Wuyan, guessing that among those who might attack him at this moment, Xue Wuyan’s side was likely involved.

Without responding to Xuu Mengyuan’s words, seeing Xuu Mengyuan exhibit Foundation Establishment cultivation, Xue Wuyan was full of disbelief but forced himself to attack again, wanting to probe whether Xuu Mengyuan truly had established a foundation.

After all, in the Cultivation Realm, through consuming special elixirs, or using cultivation techniques or forbidden techniques, a Qi Cultivator could temporarily gain the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Faced with the Foundation Establishment aura released by Xuu Mengyuan, Xue Wuyan found it extremely hard to believe, refusing to accept that Xuu Mengyuan could have reached Foundation Establishment in such a short period!

Moreover, Xuu Mengyuan was already over a hundred years old, long past the prime period for Foundation Establishment, theoretically incapable of establishing a foundation.

However, this scene forced Xue Wuyan to suspect that Xuu Mengyuan might have merely obtained Foundation Establishment strength through some means, a power that was surely temporary.

Retracting the sharp blade, Xue Wuyan altered his attack strategy, slapping his Storage Bag to summon a black Flying Sword, which he propelled towards Xuu Mengyuan with full force.

This strike was an all-out attack, meant to test the depth of Xuu Mengyuan’s cultivation.

Also at the first layer of Foundation Establishment, Xuu Mengyuan quickly assessed Xue Wuyan’s strength. It was not the right time to ponder the opponent’s identity, dealing with him first was the priority.

"To act openly in Guangde County, don’t blame this old man for being ruthless!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

With a loud shout, Xuu Mengyuan wielded the White Dragon Blade, flashes of cold light making it incredibly dazzling, meeting Xue Wuyan’s black Flying Sword in full view of the crowd.

Clang clang!

Two magical artifacts engaged fiercely in the air, generating explosive energy clashes, an extremely eye-catching scene.

This combat scene between the two immediately drew the attention of onlookers, with ordinary people quickly retreating, not daring to get too close to this Immortal magical duel.

Other cultivators directed their gaze at Xuu Mengyuan or Xue Wuyan, their expressions astonished or brows furrowed.

Acting in Guangde County, and targeting Xuu Mengyuan, left many cultivators surprised at Xue Wuyan’s audacity, ignoring the Weapon Ban Order and Cyan Mountain Sect, and curious about the enigmatic identity of Xue Wuyan, wondering what manner of divine figure he was.

Meanwhile, Xuu Mengyuan’s display of Foundation Establishment aura surprised several loose cultivators familiar with him immensely.

Once a Qi Cultivator, now over a hundred years old, a senior of the Cyan Mountain Sect, witnessing him display Foundation Establishment cultivation for the first time left everyone astonished.

Truly unexpected.

Xuu Mengyuan had hidden it well indeed.

"To dare act in Guangde County, what extraordinary gall!"

Zhang Xiao stood far to one side, knowing that at this level of combat, someone like him, a small Qi Cultivator, could not be involved. His eyes were fixed on Xue Wuyan, trying to discern his origin.

But the disguised Xue Wuyan was not someone Zhang Xiao could easily identify.

Clang clang clang!

Following the White Dragon Blade, the White Moon Ring was also ferocious, performing heroics in the air, and alongside the White Dragon Blade, they combined forces to suppress Xue Wuyan’s black Flying Sword, showing signs of sending it flying.

"How can this be!"

After several exchanges, clearly perceiving Xuu Mengyuan’s cultivation firmly rooted in the Foundation Establishment Stage, a look of shock emerged on Xue Wuyan’s face, now convinced that Xuu Mengyuan had indeed reached Foundation Establishment.

Continuing to fight like this, he feared he might be trapped in Guangde County.

Xuu Mengyuan was currently wielding only two magical artifacts in combat, yet a moment later, if he deployed the Profound Fire Order, initiating the Heaven-Reaching Profound Fire Array, escape would be impossible even with wings.

No more fighting!

With this thought, Xue Wuyan gritted his teeth, retrieved a talisman from his Storage Bag, swiftly activated it, and hurled it towards Xuu Mengyuan.

A Tier Two Lower-grade Talisman, a Fog Charm.

Once activated, the Fog Charm could release thick mist, quickly obscuring a cultivator’s eye power and divine sense, thus creating opportunities for ambush or escape for the user.

The talisman flew across the sky, exploding before Xuu Mengyuan, spreading thick mist that enveloped Xuu Mengyuan entirely, causing the surrounding onlookers to lose sight of him, only seeing him hidden within the mist.

Seizing this opportunity, Xue Wuyan had no thought of lingering for battle, summoning a Flying Spiritual Artifact and leaping on, about to fly towards the sky.

"Halt!"

However, just as Xue Wuyan stepped onto the Flying Spiritual Artifact, a shout came from within the mist.
