Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Zhou Yiqiao's sword light was like a meteor across the night sky, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

But those dark shadows seemed to have anticipated his attack, twisting their bodies strangely and cleverly avoiding the trajectory of the sword light.

These black shadows were obviously specially trained assassins. Their movements were swift and ruthless. Every attack went straight to the vital points, leaving no chance for the team members behind Zhou Yiqiao to breathe.

Although these team members were considered elites in Qinjian Villa, they were immediately at a disadvantage under the sudden attack of these dark shadows.

Several disciples with weaker cultivation were severely injured in the first moment and let out miserable screams.

Zhou Yiqiao felt a tightness in his heart when he saw this.

He knew that the disciples of Qinjian Villa behind him had lost their will to fight, and he had to end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise their entire team would be left here.

The spiritual power in his body was running wildly, the light on the Netherworld Demon Sword became brighter and brighter, and the sword's power became more fierce.

However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared silently behind Zhou Yiqiao.

Dozens of one-foot-long bone needles were suspended around him. These bone needles glowed coldly under the faint moonlight, and obviously contained unknown poison and evil power.

The black shadow's fingers moved slightly, and the bone needles seemed to come to life, shooting silently towards Zhou Yiqiao's vital points on the back.

Zhou Yiqiao's perception was so sharp that he sensed the danger behind him almost the moment the bone needle was released.

His body suddenly leaned forward, and at the same time, the Netherworld Demon Sword swung backward. A sword energy broke through the air and met the bone needles in mid-air, causing a sharp sound of metal collision and sparks.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

A crisp metal collision sound was heard, and the bone needle broke into pieces under the impact of the sword energy, and Zhou Yiqiao's sword energy also dissipated into nothingness because of this collision.

The black shadow obviously did not expect Zhou Yiqiao's reaction to be so quick. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.

His body twisted violently and turned into a puff of black smoke, trying to avoid Zhou Yiqiao's counterattack.

But Zhou Yiqiao's swordsmanship is so advanced now that his sword moves continuously, and each sword contains powerful sword intent, like surging waves, surging one after another.

At the moment when the black shadow turned into black smoke, the sword light had already reached in front of him.

"Pfft!"

With a slight sound, the black shadow's body suddenly stiffened, and then fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, without any sound.

Countless sword energies directly pierced through the black shadow's body, turning it into a human pig in the blink of an eye and killing it instantly.

When the other black shadows saw this, they all showed a hint of fear in their eyes.

But these black shadows were all the assassins carefully trained by Lingxiao Palace. Although they were terrified in their hearts, they did not hesitate at all in their actions.

They quickly adjusted their formation and attacked Zhou Yiqiao's team again.

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the dark shadows that were approaching from all sides, and he was secretly alert.

He knew very well that although these black shadows seemed chaotic, they actually contained the magic of the formation and their cooperation with each other was extremely tacit.

If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation level was far superior to that of ordinary people and he had just established a systematic strategy to deal with the enemy, he would probably have found it difficult to escape unscathed from this siege.

"The Netherworld Demon Sword may not be a peerless divine weapon, but in my hands, it can drive away all evil spirits!"

Zhou Yiqiao let out a low shout, and the spiritual power in his body surged and merged into the sword. The Netherworld Demon Sword suddenly exuded a more intense demonic aura, and the space around the sword seemed to be distorted.

He suddenly jumped up and rushed into the enemy camp with the Netherworld Demon Sword.

The sword light was like a dragon, and wherever it passed, there was an accompanying thunderous sword whistle. Wherever the sword light passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind dark cracks.

Although the black shadows tried their best to dodge, several of them were unable to avoid the sword force and were pierced by the sword energy. Their figures disappeared into thin air, leaving only a wisp of black smoke rising slowly.

However, the cultivators of Lingxiao Palace are obviously not ordinary people.

They quickly adjusted their strategy. Some of them continued to use formations to restrain Zhou Yiqiao, while others began to cast spells in an attempt to consume Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual power through long-range attacks.

Fireballs, ice cones, wind blades...all kinds of spells rained down on Zhou Yiqiao, forcing him to distract himself on defense.

"Humph, you think you can trap me with just a magic spell?"

Zhou Yiqiao snorted coldly and swung the Netherworld Demon Sword violently. A huge sword light swept out, destroying all the attacking spells one by one. The residual power forced the surrounding black shadows to retreat again and again.

However, after the sword was swung out, Zhou Yiqiao had to stop what he was doing and stand still on guard.

Although the Netherworld Demon Sword in his hand is powerful, it is ultimately limited by its material and refining techniques, and cannot fully demonstrate his current level of cultivation.

Even after receiving Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual power for a long time, which far exceeded that of cultivators of the same level, the sword body of the Netherworld Demon Sword showed signs of collapse.

"The battle must be fought quickly."

Zhou Yiqiao pondered secretly in his heart.

The spiritual energy around him was boiling, and streams of dark aura surged out of his body and surrounded him.

Strange runes quickly took shape, and then because of his low roar, they suddenly exploded and turned into endless black mist, enveloping him completely.

When the black fog dissipated, Zhou Yiqiao's aura had become stronger than ever before. His eyes flashed with a faint green light, which was the resentful gaze of the millions of dead souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

This move is exactly the trump card Zhou Yiqiao has kept in his heart. It can merge the evil souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner with his own spiritual power for a short period of time, forming a terrifying force beyond the ordinary.

Before he reached the level of Lianxu, Zhou Yiqiao often had to endure extremely painful backlash when using this move, often injuring the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred of his own.

Although it is impossible to completely eliminate side effects now, with his profound cultivation and strong will, he can barely control this power.

With the help of this forbidden technique, Zhou Yiqiao's swordsmanship became even more powerful. Each sword contained destructive power. Even if the black shadows joined forces to resist, they could hardly withstand his edge.

In a short moment, several black shadows were killed on the spot, and the rest were all injured and their morale was greatly reduced.

When the dark shadows saw this, despair and madness flashed in their eyes.

The instinct of survival clearly told them that it was impossible to defeat Zhou Yiqiao.

However, as the deadpools of Lingxiao Palace, years of brainwashing and loyalty education have made them realize that at this critical moment, they must fight hard to preserve the last dignity of the disciples of Lingxiao Palace!

Therefore, no matter whether it was the black shadow with a healthy body or the black shadow with a serious injury, they all made the same decisive choice - to self-destruct!
