Crack!
Crack!
The ninth-grade sword qi talisman, enhanced by a hundred auspicious clouds, was more than a hundred times more powerful.
Two tree fairies, comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, had bodies as strong as high-quality spiritual instruments.
However, their massive branch-like hands were instantly severed under the two hundred-meter-long sword qi.
The sword qi nearly split their trunks from top to bottom. Guo Feilong gasped, not expecting the two tree fairies, already exhausted and depleted of mystic power, to withstand such a powerful sword qi attack.
The two towering tree fairies, standing dozens of meters high, were shocked by the severe damage, not expecting a third party to be hiding and launching a sneak attack.
The nearest thunder attribute tree fairy immediately located Guo Feilong's hiding spot, and its giant wooden hand swung down. Guo Feilong had a ninth-grade swift wind talisman on him, which increased his speed.
He infused the swift wind talisman with fifty auspicious clouds, making its effect about three times stronger than a normal ninth-grade swift wind talisman. Before the thunder attribute tree fairy's giant hand could land, he flashed away, covering a distance of seventy to eighty meters.
Boom!
He dodged, but the tree he was hiding behind was not so lucky. It was smashed into splinters by the thunder attribute tree fairy's hand, with arcs of electricity crackling on the flying wood chips.
If that slap had hit any Qi Refining stage cultivator, it would have turned them into a pulp.
Of course, for Guo Feilong, who had cultivated the Golden Body Technique to a level comparable to a top-quality spiritual instrument, he wasn't afraid of being slapped to death.
In the Cultivation World, all divine powers, spells, and combat techniques rely on mystic power, much like a car running at 180 miles per hour, consuming fuel every second.
Body refining techniques can make the body as strong as spiritual instruments and sacred treasures, but if a cultivator runs out of mystic power, all divine powers, spells, and combat techniques will fail.
If he hadn't dodged earlier and took the hit head-on, he wouldn't have been injured, but his mystic power would have rapidly depleted.
At any time, ensuring sufficient mystic power is the right thing to do, even if it means conserving power while fighting desperately.
Because when the cultivation stages are similar, the battle ultimately depends on who has more mystic power left, who can still use divine powers, spells, and combat techniques.

Although he cultivated the body refining Golden Body Technique, making his body comparable to spiritual instruments and sacred treasures, Guo Feilong would never engage in a head-on clash with any cultivator of a higher stage unless absolutely necessary.
What if the opponent had some divine power, spell, or combat technique that could enhance their body strength, or some treasure that could boost their physical strength, and he went head-to-head with them, especially if they were a stage higher?
That would be overconfidence, courting disaster when hitting a hard wall. He'd rather dodge the attacks of two tree fairies comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators than clash head-on.
The two tree fairies, seeing that it was just a small Qi Refining stage bug like him, immediately relaxed their tense expressions.
But the two tree fairies didn't continue fighting each other, instead focusing their gaze tightly on Guo Feilong, this little figure.
After all, it was this little figure who almost split them in half with two sword qi attacks.
Buzz! Buzz!
The two tree fairies almost simultaneously began to glow, using their remaining mystic power to heal the parts of their trunks that had been cut.
All fairies have strong vitality; unless their core is destroyed, they can regenerate even if they lose their heads, growing a new head or a body beneath the head.
As the saying goes, strike while the enemy is weak. Guo Feilong wouldn't give the two tree fairies, comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the chance to heal. He already had a ninth-grade sword qi talisman in each hand.
Swish! Swish!
He threw out two ninth-grade sword qi talismans, again enhanced with a hundred auspicious clouds. Two hundred-meter-long sword qi rose to the sky, slashing towards the two tree fairies.
Boom!
Boom!
The two tree fairies, comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, were slow to move and couldn't dodge the sword qi attacks, nearly being split from the treetop to the roots.
However, before the two tree fairies could recover, Guo Feilong threw out two more ninth-grade sword qi talismans, each infused with a hundred auspicious clouds.
Boom!
Boom!
The two tree fairies, comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, were split in two from the treetop down to the roots.
Yet, even in such a state, the two tree fairies, comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, were not dead, still struggling to merge their split trunks.
At this moment, Guo Feilong noticed that each of the two halves of the tree fairies' trunks had a round, large bead embedded in them—one emitting thunder, the other glowing green.
These were equivalent to the Foundation Establishment platform of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. However, if a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator dies, their platform would automatically disintegrate into light rain and vanish into the world.
But the source beads inside fairies do not dissipate; they remain and can be made into one-time explosive sacred treasures with significant power, capable of harming even Golden Elixir stage grand cultivators.
These source beads are only found in fairies comparable to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators; ordinary fairies comparable to Qi Refining stage cultivators do not have them.
At the same time, the source beads are where fairies store their divine soul consciousness. Guo Feilong immediately charged towards the thunder attribute tree fairy.
Fearing any unforeseen events, Guo Feilong used auspicious clouds to enhance his body to a level comparable to a low-quality sacred treasure, so even if the opponent had a last burst of energy, he wouldn't be afraid.
Swish!
Guo Feilong's figure moved as fast as lightning, leaving a trail of afterimages as he appeared on the split trunk of the thunder attribute tree fairy.
His fingers, like steel claws, easily pierced into the trunk as if it were tofu, and he pried out the fist-sized thunder attribute source bead.
In the next instant, the thunder attribute tree fairy, comparable to a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, immediately died.
The other wood attribute tree fairy was so terrified that it was scared out of its wits, abandoning the half of its trunk without the wood attribute source bead and using the other half to flee.
Its roots moved swiftly through the soil, but how could it outrun Guo Feilong, who had the swift wind talisman? After catching up, Guo Feilong mercilessly pried out its wood attribute source bead as well.
Thus, he killed both tree fairies, each comparable to mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
The bodies of spiritual creatures are treasures, usable for alchemy and crafting. Naturally, Guo Feilong wouldn't let the wooden bodies of the two tree fairies go to waste, storing them in his storage bag.
However, to Guo Feilong's surprise, while searching for spirit stones on the wooden corpses, he found three thunder attribute spirit stones on the thunder attribute tree fairy and three wood attribute spirit stones on the wood attribute tree fairy.
Among them, one thunder attribute spirit stone was of high quality, while the other five were of medium quality.
This made Guo Feilong both happy and puzzled. He initially thought finding one spirit stone would be good enough, but finding six was certainly a pleasant surprise.
He wondered if all fairies comparable to Foundation Establishment stage had three spirit stones, or was this just a coincidence this time?
