Wang Qi now appeared as if he was about to collapse from exhaustion. But he knew that this feeling was merely an illusion.

It was like a balloon originally able to hold more than ten cubic meters of air, deflated by more than half, yet what remained inside was still several times stronger than a smaller balloon with a capacity of less than one liter.

Wang Qi merely experienced severe physical exhaustion, creating the illusion of "emptiness" in his body. In reality, his body was still many times stronger than the average Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the mana within him could still support the consumption of at least three to five spells.

The Banished Immortals, influenced by residual memories and fundamentally different from the Modern Cultivators, could indeed cultivate faster than ordinary cultivators before reaching Golden Core Perfection. However, they couldn't grasp the profound essence of Modern Cultivation Methods and failed to wield the true essence of cultivation. Judging by how these two avoided the clumsy sword qi of Yue Luo's Moonset Glaze, they couldn't withstand even a single move from Wang Qi.

Therefore, when he first encountered the absurd plot of killing and seizing treasures, Wang Qi felt not the slightest bit of fear. Even if he exhausted all his mana, these two yet-to-awaken Banished Immortals couldn't handle him.

Especially since the Moonset Glaze Sword was now in his hands, he could unleash a power far stronger than during the Divine Capital battle, and even a newly awakened Banished Immortal wouldn't be his match.

"Enough, Xiao Qiu, apologize and thank him now! Can't you see?" The Banished Immortal who used the Sky Song's extreme move smirked bitterly, "The sword belongs to him..."

"I don't care!" The blood-covered cultivator shrugged off the tall cultivator's hand and shouted angrily, "That sword is spiritually complete, at least at True Artifact Level, capable of recognizing its owner. How dare you leave it here to trap people? Do you have no sense of common decency? Are you unreasonable?"

Wang Qi was slightly taken aback. He was almost embarrassed to admit it, but the dramatic thoughts that had flashed through his mind had been things like "is this guy going to turn evil and awaken." Little did he expect, the reason for the trouble with the guy opposite him was so simple: he was just unhappy because he had been inexplicably sliced.

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone these cultivators?

Wang Qi chuckled and apologized, "Sorry, sorry."

It seemed leaving the Moonset Glaze Sword here wasn't a good idea. Hmm, I'll take it home first, then hand it over to Senior Sister Mi. Just like that...

As Wang Qi pondered how to handle the situation, he turned in another direction, intending to leave with his back to the two Banished Immortals. A hand wind rose up like a colossal wave, carrying a hint of killing intent, surging from behind Wang Qi. He misstepped, dodged it from the front, and at the same time, a dense electric light burst from the side of his body facing the hand wind, neutralizing its force. Wang Qi furrowed his brow and asked, "What do you want?"

"I could ask you the same thing, what exactly do you want?" the short cultivator snapped angrily, "You think you can just walk away?"

Wang Qi then realized that, from a "rational" point of view, his actions were indeed somewhat inappropriate. He had been mulling over grand concepts like "Banished Immortal," "civilization," and "human-dragon relations," completely forgetting the rules of personal interaction. So Wang Qi reached into his storage bag: "Oh, oh, sorry, as for compensation, let me see how much I have with me..."

Now, not just the short cultivator, even the Heavenly Song cultivator who had been speaking kindly earlier looked upset, "Your actions are a bit excessive."

"You look down on me too..." The short cultivator nearly ground his teeth to powder. The wounds covering his body burst forth like fountains, spraying blood mist as powerful spiritual power erupted from beneath him: "I just want an explanation... You bastard!"

"Huh? Wait..." Wang Qi only then realized that his previous remarks might have come across to someone intent on misunderstanding as a blend of "I have plenty of money" and "You just want money." He wanted to explain, but the short cultivator wouldn't allow it. A violent windstorm whipped up dust in his hand, like a war hammer, and hurled heavily at Wang Qi.

Like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, that small mass of wind and sand disrupted the balance of heaven and earth, detonating into a truly ferocious strike. The wind and sand surged forth like cavalry spears, eradicating anything obstructing its path.

However, before this strike could truly erupt, it suddenly dissipated.

Wang Qi formed his fingers into a sword, gathering mana and gently slicing through the air, disrupting the structure of the storm. The force of the strike no longer converged around Wang Qi but instead turned into a torrent spreading in all directions, not even grazing Wang Qi.

"What?" The short cultivator was shocked to see his seemingly fatal blow so effortlessly thwarted. Though he hadn't intended to kill, he did hope to "teach this kid a lesson." Judging by Wang Qi's aura, he couldn't be more than at the Golden Core Early Stage, while these two Banished Immortals were at Golden Core Perfection. They initially anticipated that even if Wang Qi could withstand it, he would certainly be in a sorry state.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qi merely made a slight stroke with his hand, and broke this attack!

Reasonably speaking, while the flow of the atmospheric system is chaotic and hard to comprehend, it is still not without traces to follow. Wang Qi could not counter this spell directly, but disrupting its targeting was indeed easy for him.

The short cultivator had already leaped into the air, preparing his next spell in hand, ready to deliver a decisive blow while Wang Qi received his first spell, simultaneously being confined by the storm of the first spell. But now, Wang Qi had stepped out pre-emptively, and naturally, each step of the short cultivator was a misstep.

Wang Qi, with a flicker of his body, captured the short cultivator's wrist even without using the Unpredictable Body Technique or Xiangyu Travel. Wang Qi locked onto the opponent's pulse gates, pressed his mana into the other's body, and then flung him away with close combat skills.

Another Banished Immortal caught his partner with Soft Power and was immediately shocked. The short cultivator had all his mana sealed in an instant, rendered powerless! At this point, the fight had already begun, and there was no time to think. He summoned a sword and struck directly at the enemy.

Confronting the cultivator's Electric Light Sword transformation, Wang Qi raised his hand. The sword light made of electrodynamics suddenly rapidly weakened and then disappeared.

Electromagnetic transformation, the cycle of electrodynamics is endless.

Seeing Wang Qi easily neutralizing his ultimate move with just a raise of his hand, the tall cultivator resentfully said, "Judging by your cultivation and combat power, you must be a true disciple of a great sect. Why do disciples like you deliberately throw a treasure sword here to harm others?"

Wang Qi absolutely could not say that this magic artifact was aimed at Banished Immortals, and their being attacked was due to their Banished Immortal status. He could only shake his head and gesture towards the short cultivator, "Look at him."

"Hey! What are you looking at? Be careful, I'll cut you down with a single sword!" The short cultivator suddenly became vigorous again in an instant. He jumped between Wang Qi and the tall cultivator, but because he didn't control his strength well, his legs sank into the sand up to his knees. His face turned red, and he used his strength to shake off the sand. At this moment, the Banished Immortal saw clearly that his partner was not injured at all, and his legs getting stuck in the sand just now was due to an unprecedentedly good condition which he himself was not used to.

This was naturally Wang Qi's contribution. The Essence Demon Energy of the Moonset Glaze was extremely overbearing. If the short cultivator were to dissolve it himself, it might take a couple of hours. However, Wang Qi had laid down a specific law within his own mana, dismantling the Essence Demon Energy of the Moonset Glaze while transferring a strand of Life Flame. This made the short cultivator vigorous like a dragon and a tiger.

Wang Qi then spread his hands, indicating, "I truly meant no harm. I also admit that my tone just now was somewhat impolite, but isn't your reaction a bit excessive?"

The short cultivator was still somewhat relentless, "You threw the sword here to trap people and still have the nerve to defend it?"

Wang Qi shook his head; this matter was really a bit difficult to explain. He communicated with the Moonset Glaze, inquiring about the situation, finding out that these two cultivators came here to swim for leisure. Due to their excessively low strength, Moonset Glaze allowed them to approach. The short cultivator saw the Moonset Glaze Sword, found it to be a rare treasure sword never seen before, and, driven by curiosity, tried to pick it up.

Originally, they didn't expect it to be unowned. After all, how far was this place from Langde City? Would such good stuff still have a chance for them? They didn't even have the intention to refine it, genuinely just wanting to "try the sword."

But when their mana contacted the Moonset Glaze, it keenly sensed the anomaly within their bodies.

Then there was the scene Wang Qi first saw.

Fortunately, the Banished Immortal using Sky Song also knew that someone who could counter the short cultivator's ultimate move with a finger and block his own absolute skill with a mere raise of hand must be someone they couldn't afford to offend, hence he restrained the short man, suppressed his anger, and asked, "May I ask your name? With your level of cultivation, you must be a true disciple of the Immortal Alliance Five Absolutes; surely you're not afraid of the two of us?"

"Wang Qi." Wang Qi shook his head, gave his name, and turned to leave again. He really didn't know what sparked these two to blow up instantly. His actions and words just now were indeed somewhat rude, but surely... it shouldn't have come to the point where they used their ultimate moves and killing techniques, right?

Who would have thought that as he took just two steps, he heard the cultivator practicing Sky Song shout, "Wait a moment!"

"Is there something else?" Wang Qi already showed signs of slight displeasure. He had even proposed compensation earlier and had just used the Life Flame to heal the injured cultivator, which should have somewhat compensated despite his previous fault. If these two continued to entangle him, he wouldn't mind laying them down again.

However, the cultivator's response was somewhat beyond Wang Qi's expectations. He only saw him walking quickly over, his eyes full of admiration: "Are you that Wang Qi? The Wang Qi who, as a Banished Immortal deity, became a True Inheritor of the Wanfa Sect?"
