The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 54 – Battle, refine Qi to the sixth level!
When the two arrived at a secluded cliff in the back mountains, Brandon Jiang stopped and asked calmly:
"Senior Sister, what is your purpose in falsely accusing me?"
The white-robed disciple shook her head with a smile and said:
"Brandon, what's the point of denying it now?"
"My name is Susan Lin. Miss Dorothy ordered me to keep an eye on you, and I've seen everything you did today."
"You said you were going to the restroom, but in reality, you stole the finished Gold Sand. Am I right?"
Brandon's expression remained unchanged as he replied calmly:
"So, this is all just your speculation, Senior Sister. To be honest, I really just had a stomachache. You're overthinking it."
Despite his words, Brandon's heart sank deeper. This person was Dorothy Lin's spy. Of all people, it had to be his arch-enemy Dorothy who discovered him. This wouldn't be easy to get past.
Sure enough, Susan smiled and said:
"I don't have any evidence right now, but it's simple. Just let me check your storage bag."
"Heh, a newcomer like you wouldn't have enough resources to buy a storage bag, so no one would suspect you of taking the Gold Sand. But I believe you have one. Hand it over, Junior Sister."
Susan was right. Brandon did have storage bags, two in fact—one from Chu Jun and the other from Patricia Qing.
Patricia had no idea Brandon had a storage bag, so she wouldn't have included one in the resources she gave him.
But even with two storage bags, the chances of deceiving Susan were slim.
Brandon said in a deep voice:
"Senior Sister Susan, it's unreasonable to demand to see a cultivator's storage bag. It's a personal matter."
Susan's eyes narrowed as she snorted coldly:
"Brandon, I thought you were smart, but it turns out you're quite ungrateful!"
"I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the storage bag with the Gold Sand!"
Her tone softened as she coaxed:
"Don't worry, I only want the Gold Sand. I won't take anything else."
"Give me the Gold Sand, and I'll let you go without harming a hair on your head."
Brandon sneered inwardly. The Gold Sand he stole was made by his own hands, and there were too many ways to trace it back to him.
Handing it over would mean giving Dorothy Lin leverage over him forever!
If he didn't want this matter exposed, he would have to be under Dorothy's control, unable to resist whatever she wanted him to do!
Thinking of this, Brandon's fists clenched tightly!
Patricia controlled his life with the Heartbreak Pill, making his life already difficult enough.

Now Dorothy wanted to join in on the fun too!
Did they think he had no temper? That anyone could step on him?
Brandon's expression turned cold as he stared icily at Susan and asked:
"What if I insist on leaving, Senior Sister?"
Susan sneered, her sixth-level Qi Refining aura spreading slowly:
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless and taking it by force..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a sea of orange-red flames surged forward, instantly engulfing her!
"What!"
Susan's face changed dramatically!
At the moment negotiations broke down, Brandon struck decisively, not even giving Susan a chance to finish her sentence!
He simultaneously unleashed two Daoist arts: "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" and the Fire Control Technique!
The Fire Control Technique's power and scale increase with more spiritual power consumption. The sea of flames Brandon unleashed consumed half of his spiritual power in an instant, and the "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" technique drained an equal amount of spiritual energy from his Dantian.
The flames created by both spiritual power and spiritual energy perfectly overlapped, their power so immense that even Brandon couldn't estimate it.
Only Susan, at the center of the fire, knew its true might.
She never expected that a newcomer like Brandon would be so ruthless, disregarding the power gap and sect rules to strike with lethal intent!
In her panic, Susan could only release her spiritual power to resist the flames with her sixth-level Qi Refining strength.
With spiritual power as a shield, she felt a slight relief, followed by a hint of mockery.
Brandon was foolish to think a mere Fire Control Technique could harm her.
Even if his Daoist talent was extraordinary and his Fire Control Technique could rival a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator's art, she was at the sixth level. How could his flames hurt her?
A mere clown.
But in the next moment, as the flames collided with her spiritual power shield, Susan's expression changed.
The thick spiritual power shield thinned rapidly under the flames, nearly shattering in less than a breath!
Though hastily constructed, her spiritual power shield was still formidable. No fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator could break her defense with full force.
Why! Why were Brandon's flames so fierce!
Unfortunately, she had no time to ponder. Her spiritual power shield shattered completely, and the raging flames engulfed her in an instant!
"Ahhh!!!"
Susan turned into a human torch, screaming in agony!
Brandon calmly stepped back a few paces, keeping a close eye on Susan.
He didn't believe that a sixth-level Qi Refining expert like Susan would die so easily.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, Susan recovered from the excruciating pain and formed a Daoist seal with her hands.
In the next moment, a surge of spiritual power dispersed the flames on her body.
However, her delayed reaction left her skin charred and peeling, emitting a foul burnt smell!
"Brandon!!!"
Susan's eyelids were burnt away, her blood-red eyes glaring at Brandon with a hellish hatred!
"You dared to hurt me like this! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Though Qi Refining cultivators possessed unimaginable powers, their bodies hadn't undergone a fundamental transformation and still had vital points. Severe injuries could still be fatal!
Susan's full-body burns were irreparable.
In other words, Brandon had permanently disfigured her!
For a woman, this was a fate worse than death!
How could Susan not be furious!
Brandon didn't waste words. He raised his hand, and a torrent of flames surged forth, transforming into a dragon that lunged at Susan.
Since they had already torn off the facade, words were meaningless! It was a fight to the death!
But with Susan now on guard, hitting her was no longer possible.
Susan's figure flashed, turning into a blur as she charged at Brandon with lightning speed.
Brandon retreated repeatedly, simultaneously activating the Fire Control Technique and "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair," creating a massive wall of flames that enveloped him.
The essence of the Fire Control Technique was controlling flames, useful for both attack and defense.
But in less than a breath, a sharp spiritual power tore through the fire wall, and Susan charged in.
Brandon's face changed. This was his full-strength defense, nearly exhausting all his remaining spiritual power, yet it couldn't hold for even a breath!
The disparity in their raw power was despairingly vast.
He desperately squeezed his Dantian, generating spiritual power to control the fire wall and block Susan.
But Susan ignored it, her overwhelming spiritual power forming a heavy punch that smashed into Brandon!
Boom—
Brandon spat blood as he was sent flying, crashing into the cliff wall, his aura instantly weakening.
