Contrarily, there are individuals who possess two, three, or even four types of Attribute Spiritual Roots. Such people are inherently gifted and are considered prodigies.

However, individuals with two Attribute Spiritual Roots are extremely rare, and they are highly sought after by all major Sects.

As for those with three Attribute Spiritual Roots, they are even rarer. Sometimes, not even a colossal Sect can boast having one.

Those with four Attribute Spiritual Roots are fewer still, and it's said that not even a vast Cultivation Kingdom can find one. Moreover, it's rumored that there are no individuals with all five Attribute Spiritual Roots in the Immortal Realm, nor have there been any reported elsewhere.

"Don't be afraid of him; if we join forces, we can definitely kill him," Li Jianyi persuaded the other three.

"Kill!" The other three immediately roared and charged toward Wang Xiaoqiang.

The young man with white hair, wielding a white Immortal Sword, flashed a white glow as he swung it overhead at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang raised the Holy Flame Sword high above his head, powering it with Fire Element Spiritual Power. Instantly, a flame-like sword light surged...

Boom~

The next moment...

The two Immortal Swords collided, and upon contact with the Holy Flame Sword, the bright light of the white sword extinguished and its blade was sent flying from the hands of the youth, shattering the bones in his hand, splattering blood, shaking his body violently, and causing him to vomit blood, turning his white chest red...

Then, the entire person rapidly weakened, looking as though he no longer had the strength to fight.

This scene was truly bizarre because logically, he should not have been so severely injured; although his Cultivation Base was not as advanced as Wang Xiaoqiang's, he was the attacker while Wang Xiaoqiang merely defended. Moreover, it was between two Immortal Swords, and even if there was damage, it should have been on the swords, not the individuals.

But at that moment, neither party had time to ponder this issue as the youth with green hair, amidst the clash between Wang Xiaoqiang and the white-haired youth, swung his sword at Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder. Wang Xiaoqiang, unable to dodge, willed one-hundred Spiritual Springs to fly out of his body and form a Spiritual Energy Shield in front of him.

The Five-Color Spiritual Qi Shield, shimmering with breathtaking beauty, was visible only to Wang Xiaoqiang; even the four Transformation Experts from the Immortal Realm could not see it.

The green-haired youth's sword, bolstered by Wood Element Spiritual Power, struck the Five-Color Spiritual Qi Shield. The shield's colors flashed suddenly, unifying into pure white as Metal Element Spiritual Energy exploded with a loud bang, sending the glowing Immortal Sword flying from the youth's hand.

At the same time, the green-haired youth's palms split open, his blood splattered, and his body was violently shaken as he spit out blood.

The young man with black hair, witnessing this, was so frightened that he halted abruptly and dared not advance further.

Although Li Jianyi attacked last, his move was swift. Holding a sword in his right hand and forming a spell with his left, he chanted under his breath. Suddenly, the Fiery Red Immortal Sword shot out of his hand, circling his body like a darting fish. With each circle, a layer of sword light enveloped him, spinning rapidly into a sword wheel resembling a speeding gearwheel—not just one gearwheel, but several. By the time he launched himself at Wang Xiaoqiang, he had already formed five sword wheels.

A sinister smile appeared on Li Jianyi's lips as he lunged at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Li Jianyi, true to his Sword Sect lineage, had been deemed exceptionally promising by his father, Li Gufeng, from the moment of his birth. Named Jianyi, meaning "unsurpassed in swordsmanship", he had been taught swordplay by Li Gufeng since the age of six. Li Gufeng had imparted every refined sword technique of the Mount Hua Sword Sect without reserve and, recognizing his extraordinary talents, fervently recommended him to a sword-focused Cultivation Sect in the Immortal Realm. After ten years of intensive study in this Sect, Li Jianyi had mastered numerous refined sword techniques. Now, he was merely using one of them, the Taiji Sword Wheel.

The Taiji Sword Wheel, using the body as the axis and the Immortal Sword as the medium, transforms the Spiritual Power within the body into devastatingly powerful sword wheels. Practitioners of the same Cultivation Base stand no chance against it, and even when facing an opponent of higher Cultivation, a full-force engagement with the Taiji Sword Wheel can place the opponent in grave danger.

The Taijian Sword Wheel is a desperate tactic against higher-level Cultivators, a do-or-die approach.

Of course, Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't aware of this. Seeing Li Jianyi's body surrounded by what seemed like numerous whirling hula hoops, with menacingly flashing teeth on the sword wheels, he appeared truly formidable.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't meet the attack head-on but rapidly retreated backward.

Determined for revenge, Li Jianyi saw Wang Xiaoqiang retreating, so he chased after him, his face twisted into a ferocious smile, "Wang Xiaoqiang, we have a blood feud that cannot coexist under the same sky. Today it's either your death or mine!"

As Wang Xiaoqiang rapidly retreated, he laughed back, "Since that's the case, then you should die!"

With that, his figure suddenly halted, and then a thousand Spiritual Springs flew out from his body and assembled into a black-colored Spiritual Energy shield in front of him.

The next moment...

Li Jianyi's figure lunged forward, his Fiery Red Taiji Sword Wheel striking the black Spiritual Energy Shield.

Crack crack crack crack crack…

A sound that pierced the eardrum and made one's scalp tingle with frayed nerves rose, and with each sound, a Taiji Sword Wheel would fracture. Eventually, all five sword wheels shattered, scattering in disarray…

Finally, Li Jianyi's body also heavily collided with the black Spiritual Energy Shield, rebounding backward as if struck down…

A look of shock and confusion appeared in Li Jianyi's eyes.

Because he himself could not see Wang Xiaoqiang's black Spiritual Energy Shield. Moreover, he did not believe that Wang Xiaoqiang could break his Taiji Light Wheel.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang was well aware of all this.

While recently repelling the white-haired youth and green-haired youth, Wang Xiaoqiang had suddenly realized that he was able to repel these two because the white-haired youth's sword had a Metal Element attribute, which was completely dissolved by Fire Element Spiritual Energy when it clashed with his Holy Flame Sword, while the Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy from the green-haired youth was dissolved by the Metal Element Spiritual Energy.

Armed with this experience, although Li Jianyi's Sword Wheel was powerful, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately noticed that his Spiritual Power leaned toward Fire. The knife wheel was entirely composed of Fire Attribute Spiritual Power. Therefore, he defended using a Water Element Spiritual Energy Shield.

As expected, he managed to neutralize the Taiji Sword Wheel in one move.

After breaking Li Jianyi's Taiji Sword Wheel and forcing him back, Wang Xiaoqiang did not hesitate; at the thought, the black Spiritual Energy Shield suddenly dispersed, transforming into a thousand Spiritual Springs, which he then absorbed back into his body. Clapping his hands together then parting them, a black Spiritual Energy Spear formed in the palm of his hand and shot forward with formidable force toward Li Jianyi.

This Spiritual Energy Spear, formed from Water Element Spiritual Power, was as thick as a grown man's thigh and about four meters long, looking quite massive yet not clumsy,

With a thunderous noise, it charged at Li Jianyi.

Although Li Jianyi could not see the Spiritual Energy Spear, he could sense its presence with his Divine Sense, and feeling a strong force locking onto him, his heart was shocked, fear surfaced in his eyes, and he swiftly retreated…

Simultaneously, his right hand formed a spell, continuously casting in front of him the Heart Sword Wish Shield. As he cast, his Fiery Red Immortal Sword moved with his fingers, rotating before him and forming successive red Spiritual Energy Shields.

This Spiritual Energy Shield was also a form of swordsmanship, a defensively oriented sword shield. The integration of mind and sword, casting in front of him as the Heart Sword Wish Shield.

Li Jianyi deeply knew that Wang Xiaoqiang's Void Transformation Cultivation was a realm above his, and his spell techniques were profound and inscrutable. He had been nervous for a while, seeing the tide turning with the opponent attacking; he had to bolster his defenses to avoid losing his life.

So, at the cost of exhausting his True Yuan, his fingers continuously rotated the Heart Sword Wish Shield. With every circle his fingers traced, the Fiery Red Immortal Sword spun once, and one Heart Sword Wish Shield manifested from thin air. In a blink, he had formed dozens of them.

Thunderous booms resounded…

When the black Spiritual Energy Spear struck the Heart Sword Wish Shield, it shattered layer after layer as if slicing through bamboo,

Li Jianyi's swordsmanship was exquisite, the Heart Sword Wish Shield represented the finest aspect of defensive sword techniques, but Li Jianyi's Spiritual Power was limited to Fire Element, utterly incapable of blocking Wang Xiaoqiang's Water Element Spiritual Spear.

The Heart Sword Wish Shield, formed from his own Spiritual Power, connected to his spirit. When the shield shattered, it also inflicted physical and mental damage, which was detrimental to his future cultivation.

Indeed, each time a layer of the Heart Sword Spirit Shield broke, Li Jianyi's body shook, and his complexion dimmed further. As his previously confident expression turned to helplessness and he saw the Heart Sword Wish Shield getting shattered layer by layer, the black Spiritual Energy Spear struck with deadly force. Li Jianyi's face turned ashen, terror in his eyes and despair in his heart. Suddenly, a determined look crossed his face; he bit his tongue tip and sprayed a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the just-formed Heart Sword Wish Shield.

Whoosh.

The Essence Blood splattered on the Heart Sword Wish Shield, and the originally fiery red shield burst into flames as if ignited, turning a fiery red, and beneath the firelight, Li Jianyi's face instantly turned ash-gray like a dead man.

That mouthful of Essence Blood carried his True Yuan, which, unlike Spiritual Power that can be replenished quickly, was fundamental and formed the basis of his Daoist Foundation. Damage to the Daoist Foundation recovered very slowly, but what was it compared to one's life?

Boom!!!

Finally,

The black Spiritual Energy Spear struck the blood-red Heart Sword Wish Shield.

The Heart Sword Wish Shield suddenly cracked, fierce cracks emerging, but ultimately, it did not shatter completely.

Simultaneously, Li Jianyi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flung aside.

The black Spiritual Energy Spear's light dimmed, flying back. Wang Xiaoqiang's complexion turned pale; that collision had also shattered the Spiritual Energy Protective Shield surrounding his body.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Wang Xiaoqiang noticed three more Transformation Experts catching Li Jianyi's severely injured body, fleeing towards the southeast, obviously escaping toward the Mount Hua Sword Sect. Wang Xiaoqiang's expression tensed, and without delay, he released the Sea Dragon, Lin Xianshu, and Ye Qingcheng. The four of them pursued Li Jianyi together. (To be continued.
