My bathroom leads to the celestial realm.

34 Thunderous Methods

He Tiannan's expression changed drastically, his beard and hair fluttered in the wind, and he was about to erupt in anger.

Xu Yan suddenly stood up, his hand gripping the sword with bulging veins, his face contorted with rage, as if he wished he could die with the wooden horsetail.

However, He Tiannan ultimately restrained himself, angrily saying, "You surnamed Mu, don't even think about pushing your luck! I'll fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, he released a flying sword with a cold, gleaming light. The melodious sword sound reverberated through the valley, and a sharp and piercing sword aura subtly locked onto Mu Cunshan.

The sounds of rummaging in the thatched hut suddenly ceased. The golden rings locked He Tiannan's aura through the wall, and the three arm rings—gold, silver, and bronze—simultaneously detached from his arms, hovering above his head and spinning endlessly, condensing a fierce and destructive aura.

Like a volcano about to erupt.

Mu Cunshan dodged backward, creating distance as he released a small shield no bigger than a palm. The shield expanded upon contact with the wind, protecting him.

At the same time, he crushed the jade talisman in his palm, and a thick layer of golden light appeared around him, looking very solid.

However, He Tiannan did not thrust out his flying sword; it merely hovered beside him, trembling incessantly, as if he had some reservations.

On the other side, Xu Yan was terrified. He mustered his courage and revealed the two flying swords, displaying a fearless and crazy attitude, as if he would risk his life to fight them.

My legs almost gave way and I nearly fell off the stone platform.

He used to write a lot of things like "a tiger's body trembles" and "a king's domineering aura," but he never took such exaggerated descriptions seriously.

However, facing the sharp aura emanating from a Golden Core cultivator at this moment is a completely different experience.

To say that he was facing a tiger about to pounce on him or a dump truck crashing into him at high speed is not enough. If you have to describe it, you have to look up at a mountain about to collapse or a meteor falling from the sky to have any comparison with his current situation.

That kind of fear that comes from the depths of one's heart cannot be overcome simply by saying that one is not afraid.

Xu Yan kept telling himself that he had to persevere and do his best to maintain the persona of a beginner Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he absolutely could not give himself away!

Xu Yan was unaware that if an ordinary Qi cultivator were here, they would have been rendered immobile by Jin Huanzi's aura. However, his divine sense was strong, and all his reactions were perfectly suited to the Foundation Establishment realm, which actually strengthened his original persona.

Fortunately, Mu Cunshan did not intend to make a move, and the auras of He and Jin canceled each other out. Otherwise, if the three Golden Core cultivators were facing off from a distance, there would be no room for Xu Yan to maintain his persona.

The atmosphere on the field was tense, and He Tiannan's flying sword kept emitting clear and melodious vibrations, looking eager to try.

Mu Cunshan smiled even more broadly, becoming increasingly convinced of his judgment: This person has been hit where it hurts and is now furious!

He suddenly raised his voice: "Fellow Daoist Jin, have you gained anything?"

From inside the thatched hut came Jin Huanzi's voice: "Not a soul in sight!"

Mu Cunshan laughed even more heartily: "That's right, the person wasn't in the house!"

Jin Huanzi was taken aback: "Then what do you want me to search for?"

"Naturally, it's just in case!" Mu Cunshan gestured to He Tiannan, "Fellow Daoist, you're quite wealthy; it wouldn't be right to deny me even a glimpse of these sleeves, would it?"

He Tiannan's expression changed, and he seemed to be struggling.

Mu Cunshan continued, "I've heard that person is key to your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, so your strong protection of him is understandable. However, I have no grudge against Xu Yan and have never intended to harm him. I only want to know how to cultivate with a demon core. Why don't you invite him out..."

He Tiannan didn't speak, but the flying sword suddenly emitted a clear and melodious tremor, and its already high momentum suddenly surged.

Jin Huanzi's aura was already hovering at its peak, and now, drawn by the surrounding energy, it involuntarily erupted, unleashing three beams of light—gold, silver, and bronze—that burst forth from the house and simultaneously struck He Tiannan.

Mu Cunshan's gaze turned cold, and he also threw out two golden pellets, which turned into two points of black light and went straight for He Tiannan's face.

Despite the danger, He Tiannan remained calm. He flicked his flying sword to deflect the golden pellet, then merged with his sword, a cold light shooting straight at Mu Cunshan.

Mu Cunshan cried out in alarm, crushed several jade talismans in succession, and while casting several golden rays in front of him, he retreated without hesitation.

Just as He Tiannan was about to collide with the golden light, he suddenly turned around, flicked his flying sword, and three sword energies simultaneously knocked away the three rings, the three clear sounds merging into a crisp clang.

A sharp aura suddenly exploded out. Xu Yan realized something was wrong, so he flipped over and leaped off the stone platform, thrusting his twin swords fiercely into the cliff face. The blades penetrated half an inch into the stone, leaving him hanging on the cliff.

With a muffled thud, Jin Huanzi crashed through the thatched hut, caught the silver and bronze rings, and pounced into the air towards He Tiannan.

The out-of-control silver ring slammed against the cliff face, sending rocks flying everywhere.

Xu Yan secretly groaned, then suddenly leaped upwards with all his might, landing on his sword. He used a technique to deflect the force and slap the falling rock above his head.

Besieged on two sides, He Tiannan leaped up and pointed at Mu Cunshan. Hundreds of crescent-shaped light blades appeared out of thin air between the two, shattering several golden lights with overwhelming force.

Mu Cunshan's expression changed again, and he retreated further and further.

He Tiannan cast another spell at the missing golden ring, and a thunderclap rang out in the clear sky. A bolt of lightning struck the golden ring, sending it flying backward and embedding it into the rock wall with a bang. Behind it, the cliff rocks undulated and cracked, revealing a spiderweb pattern.

Jin Huanzi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes still gleaming with ferocity as he stared intently at He Tiannan, but he was no longer able to fight.

Mu Cunshan was terrified. His figure flashed and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of feet away.

Xu Yan secretly praised him, "He's quite the expert at escaping!"

He Tiannan did not give chase, but instead stepped into the void, exuding an aura of dominance.

He Tiannan suddenly launched an attack, and his two opponents, one fled and the other was injured. He stood in the void, majestic and awe-inspiring, showing no trace of his former peace, making people dare not look directly at him.

Xu Yan's eyes lit up, her envy evident in her expression.

When a cultivator is still, he is completely still; but when he does something, it is with overwhelming force. This is what a cultivator should be like!

When will I be able to be this powerful?

He Tiannan slowly landed on the stone platform, flicking his sleeves: "Come, come, didn't you want to see? Come and take a good look!"

Mu Cunshan forced a smile: "No, no, no, Fellow Daoist He is joking, joking."

He said that, but his eyes were peering intently into his sleeves. It was unclear what he saw, but his expression was quite unpleasant.

He Tiannan gathered his sleeves: "I've seen it, now get out of here!"

"Get out of here, get out of here!" Mu Cunshan turned to leave.

"Come back!" He Tiannan pointed at the golden ring on the cliff face. "Take him with you!"

Mu Cunshan readily agreed, broke through the rock wall to rescue Jin Huanzi, and without daring to utter a word of nonsense, slunk away.

Xu Yan flipped and leaped onto the stone platform, giving a genuine thumbs-up: "Awesome!"

He Tiannan chuckled, dispelling his imposing aura. He turned to look at the chaotic stone platform, shaking his head and sighing helplessly, "This place is uninhabitable. Let's pack up and leave!"
