第五卷 天云十二州 第八百七十三章 附身之术

You talk about this? Six Ying'er raised her hand, revealing a silver hook an inch long in the palm of her hand. She spoke calmly, "This person seems to be Master Ma's disciple. However, he has been lingering near Jiaobanyan Mountain and is suspected of treason. I simply dealt with him."

You...

Ma Yintong was furious; his opponent had completely disregarded him. But he restrained himself from making a move. Could the old monster at the Core Formation stage have come?

Seeing that his gaze was wandering, Six Ying'er knew exactly what he intended. She wore a hint of disdain on her face: "Don't worry. Dealing with you is enough for this princess; there's no need for Young Master to intervene."

"Is that so?"

A sneer appeared on Ma Yintong's face. He had used secret techniques to sweep the area and found no one else nearby. With such a situation, he wouldn’t be polite. Although Six Ying'er’s arrival was somewhat suspicious, he should seize this opportunity to eliminate her first. As long as this girl was dead, Liu Xin's brainless brat would be nothing to fear.

With that thought in mind, Ma Yintong no longer hesitated and stretched out his hand, striking his waist and summoning a one-yard-long greatsword.

Not only was the sword a heavy weapon with an astonishing length, but its entire blade also emitted a faint purple glow. It clearly contained剧毒!

Indeed, to forge such a fearsome tool, he had almost spent half his life's savings. He had gone through numerous dangerous expeditions just to find materials and had carefully refined it using ancient methods for over a century.

Its power was formidable; although far from the level of an old monster at Core Formation stage, with this treasure, he could easily overpower opponents in the same rank. Dealing with a newly formed core cultivator wouldn't be much trouble either.

Ma Yintong thought one-sidedly as he infused his magical energy into the artifact. The surface of the purple-blooded sword now shone with a crimson glow and slashed fiercely at Six Ying'er.

The wind from the strike was powerful, but the young woman showed no fear. With her left hand, she extended it to reveal a delicate bracelet on her snow-white wrist.

The bracelet was also white in color, but its surface contained some faint green patterns, giving it an ancient appearance as it spun outwards. Green light erupted and met the purple-blooded sword head-on.

Ma Yintong was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t expected his opponent to actually dare to confront him directly. Had this girl taken leave of her senses? But there wasn't much time for such thoughts now. He needed to kill her first.

He crossed his hands and a fierce demonic aura poured from the purple-blooded sword, making the emerald green bracelet seem even more fragile in comparison.

But Six Ying'er showed no fear. She was not alone; Lin Xuan was hiding in the shadows. Originally, after removing their ally, she would simply suppress the traitor with ease. But Lin Xuan didn't want to go on a killing spree. He wasn’t soft-hearted; he had deeper considerations.

After all, among the rebels in this branch sect, more than half of Baxuan Pavilion's strength was at stake. If they were all eliminated, the two girls' decades of hard work would be severely damaged. This was not what Lin Xuan wanted to see.

In the cultivation world, survival of the fittest prevailed, and such a rebellion by these fellows wasn't unusual. After careful consideration, Lin Xuan decided to only eliminate the worst offenders while giving others an opportunity.

Initially, the two girls had hoped for Young Master's intervention, but after much thought, Lin Xuan shook his head. He wouldn’t stay long at Baxuan Pavilion and needed to raise their status by demonstrating his power.

Otherwise, when he left, those with ill intentions would become bolder. Such a scenario was something Lin Xuan wouldn't want to repeat.

He let the two girls handle the traitors themselves, using their strength to deter ambitious fellows and make it clear that even without allies, the two Pavilion Masters were not easily provoked.

However, when Lin Xuan revealed his plan, the two girls stared in shock. It was no wonder; they had only just condensed their cores, while Ma Yintong had been at the late-stage Core Formation for a century. How could she compare to him? However, Lin Xuan had considered everything and wouldn't put them in unnecessary danger.

Although their cultivation levels were insufficient, they could use artifacts to compensate. Nevertheless, the difference between early and late stages was too great, and what the two girls practiced wasn’t as powerful as his top-tier techniques; defeating Ma Yintong would be nearly impossible.

But remember, Lin Xuan had Moer with him—a young girl who was still in the Core Formation stage and hadn't yet gained a physical body. In the ghostly arts, there was a technique called possession.

As its name suggested, this technique could allow Moer to possess their bodies. However, it came with strict conditions; both parties must be willing to cooperate for it to work.

Moreover, there was a time limit—no more than two hours. Otherwise, whether it was Moer or the soul being possessed, they would vanish in a puff of smoke.

Due to the laws of heaven and earth, each ghost could only use such a technique three times in their lifetime, even if all conditions were met.

When Lin Xuan saw this rule back in the Xuanmofang Sect, he and Moer had both been speechless. Although they didn't know who created this possession technique, it seemed quite useless. They never imagined that it would be so helpful now.

Unlike the two girls who had just condensed their cores, Moer was a ghost cultivator at the peak of Core Formation stage, with far superior techniques and secret arts compared to her peers. Even facing an old monster at Core Formation stage, she could engage in a deadly struggle. Eliminating one late-stage traitor would be easy.

However, using Six Ying'er's body, Moer’s power would be somewhat diminished, and the artifact wouldn't work as smoothly. But against Ma Yintong, she still had the upper hand.

The purple-blooded sword clashed with the emerald green bracelet.

The blood blade's demonic aura was immense, but it couldn’t withstand that tiny bit of green light. Upon contact, the bracelet seemed to have a counter-effect and forced the blood blade into retreat. "How is this possible?"

Ma Yintong was shocked; he almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. But as an advanced Core Formation cultivator, he quickly recovered. He poured all his magical energy into the blood sword in desperation.

Six Ying'er’s face showed a faint smile, but it wasn’t like their earlier conversation. Now that they were fighting, Moer was controlling her body.

While using the bracelet wasn't convenient, she had no choice. Moer extended her finger and the bracelet began to spin, emitting waves of light that dimmed the blood on the sword. Ma Yintong found himself flustered as he struggled to keep up.

At this moment, a commotion reached their ears, followed by flashes of light. Countless cultivators rushed into the hall, drawn by the power fluctuations from the two women's battle.
