"I'll do it."
Seeing Ye Wuya's magic sword shatter, Yang Fei worried that Bai Yu and Jin Ling might have other means to escape. They were already close to the teleportation passage, and if the two managed to get further away, it would be difficult to catch them.
He let out a low roar, and Qin Yanyang promptly handed over all the True Yuan power for him to use.
Yang Fei instantly teleported, appearing before the transparent state of the Mixed Element Bell, and delivered a fierce punch onto the Mixed Element Bell.
This punch was the Tide technique from the Sky Splitting Divine Fist.
He wanted to seize this excellent opportunity to crush the enemy decisively.
"Bang!"
The fist violently struck the Mixed Element Bell, followed by a muffled sound echoing out.
Inside the Mixed Element Bell, Bai Yu spat out blood, his eyes flashing a trace of joy. He had withstood another strike from the opponent; there was still hope.
However, just as he secretly rejoiced, he was horrified to find another terrifying force stacking like a tide upon him.
"Puff!"
Bai Yu once again spat out a mouthful of thick blood, and the Mixed Element Bell flashed into a small golden bell about thirty centimeters high, suspended in the air.
Though intact, it had lost the cultivator's mana to drive it, thus reverting to its original form.
Bai Yu's face was pale, and in shock, he hurriedly reached out to grab the Mixed Element Bell, but at that moment, a dazzling silver-white light flashed.
Yang Fei appeared, wielding the Soul Binding Rope.
Bai Yu and Jin Ling's hearts raced, feeling as if their Sea of Consciousness was abruptly overwhelmed, their Primordial Spirit souls seemingly summoned by an irresistible force, attempting to leave the Sea of Consciousness.
Having heard Wu You and others talk about the power of the Soul Binding Rope, both of them hurriedly steadied their state of mind, simultaneously crushing a Soul Suppressing Talisman.
Instantly, their own Primordial Spirit souls were suppressed by the Soul Suppressing Talisman within the Sea of Consciousness, finally stable, not being pulled away.
Yet at this moment, the Soul Binding Rope swept away the Mixed Element Bell.
Bai Yu and Jin Ling's expressions dramatically changed.
It's over!
Not only did they fail to retrieve the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, but they also lost the Mixed Element Bell.
Now they had no face to report back to their master.
Clearly, they were overthinking.
Having lost the protection of the Mixed Element Bell and after the exhausting escape, their mana and True Yuan were significantly depleted, almost all life-saving talismans and magic treasures consumed, while Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and Lu Chen, who had rushed from the Spirit Ship, were still in peak condition. How could the two have a chance to escape?
The five engaged in fierce combat in the air, quickly leaving Bai Yu injured.
Jin Ling was further restrained by Lu Chen with a Dragon Suppressing Talisman.
Lu Chen asked, "Brother Yang, how should we handle these two?"
Yang Fei pondered and said, "Let's spare their lives for now; perhaps they might still be useful."
Lu Chen silently breathed a sigh of relief, just worried Yang Fei might kill the two immediately.
Slaying too many Foundation Establishment cultivators from Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, and the other three cultivation families could affect Lingxiao Sect's willingness to continue cooperating with Earth.
Soon, Yang Fei used the Soul Binding Rope to suppress Bai Yu and Jin Ling's Primordial Spirit souls, bringing their bodies back to the Spirit Ship, tossing them into the cabin.
"Quite a bounty." Yang Fei excitedly remarked, looking at the pile of spoils on the deck.
Qin Yanyang's eyes also gleamed.
Bai Yu and Jin Ling were indeed wealthy; compared to the Foundation Establishment cultivators previously suppressed, these two truly counted as affluent cultivators.
Besides the Mixed Element Bell and a Spirit Boat, Bai Yu and Jin Ling's storage bags surprisingly contained over ten thousand Spirit Stones.
Unfortunately, these Spirit Stones were only the size of quail eggs and of poor quality; the vast majority were just low-grade Spirit Stones.
Calculating that one mid-grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones meant these Spirit Stones totalled merely over a hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones.
For Yang Fei, who possessed the top-grade Spiritual Ore Mountain Range of White Jade City, these Spirit Stones weren't much, albeit their storage bags contained various Spirit Grass, Spiritual Medicine, and Elixirs, as well as precious materials for forging Magic Artifacts and Magic Treasures.
Plus, their respective life-bound magic swords.
For Earth's Foundation Establishment cultivators, magic swords were indeed direly needed.
Apart from these, there were several secret manuals. Although not exceptionally powerful, these manuals could offer substantial assistance to most cultivators on Earth, a world undergoing Spiritual Energy Revival.
"Can these magic swords be used directly?" Qin Yanyang asked Lu Chen.
An adept swordswoman, Qin Yanyang expressed great interest in these two magic swords.
Ye Wuya's magic sword was ruined by her; with two here, she could compensate one to him and keep one for herself.
Lu Chen replied, "You can use them directly, but it's best to refine them yourself, enhancing their spiritual connection for smoother use."
Qin Yanyang eagerly inquired, "How to refine them?"
"Refine with Life Essence Blood," Lu Chen advised.
Qin Yanyang felt a twinge of heartache.
Upon entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, a cultivator's blood could be refined continually into Life Essence Blood; however, each drop was extremely precious, requiring significant time to refine.
Lu Chen perceived Qin Yanyang's thoughts and laughed: "If you don't refine them, the sword can still be used, but it will lack spirituality, especially if Bai Yu or Jin Ling awaken; they could influence your use of the sword."
Yang Fei chuckled, "No worries—if they awaken, they can't affect anything. Still, for a sword of one's own, refining is better; easier handling and increased combat power."
Lu Chen nodded.
Promptly, Qin Yanyang dripped a drop of Life Essence Blood onto Jin Ling's magic sword.
Following Lu Chen's guidance, she began the focused refinement of the sword.
The sword originally belonged to Jin Ling and was already bound to him; when another person's Life Essence Blood dripped on it, it trembled intensely, seemingly in resistance.
However, this condition lasted only for a breath; then the sword calmed down.
Lu Chen remarked in surprise, "Hmm, submission so soon?"
Yang Fei asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen inhaled deeply, gazing complexly at Qin Yanyang, and chuckled bitterly: "As expected of a Top-grade Earth Spirit Root talent—her Life Essence Blood is undeniably dominant. The sword, despite being bound to a master, easily betrayed him and submitted."
Yang Fei burst into laughter, "Haha! This sword has good judgment, knowing those who adapt are wise."
Lu Chen too laughed.
After a while, Qin Yanyang stood up, joyfully holding the sword, stating, "It feels like a part of me and seems to communicate with my thoughts."
Lu Chen smiled, "That's how it should be."
Yang Fei then placed the Mixed Element Bell in his palm, asking Lu Chen, "How to use this item? I tried just now but couldn't activate it with my mana."
