The backup magical artifact used by the Pig-faced Foundation Establishment Cultivator was of a high grade—a Second-Order Middle Grade Magical Artifact in the shape of a golden blade. It blazed with fierce flames hot enough to melt stone and metal. Even with Jinbao's Copper Skin and Iron Bones, blocking it head-on was still a struggle.
Although Jinbao's combat power was comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it was still very young, having been born only a little over a decade ago. Despite its exceptional talent, it was currently only a Tier One Middle Grade, equivalent to a human in the Mid-stage Qi Refining realm.
The magical artifact was stopped by Jinbao's palm. It had intended to pierce straight through Jinbao's body, but after a grating, teeth-jarring sound, the artifact whipped free from Jinbao's grasp. It flew out and circled in midair, whistling sharply as it prepared to strike at Fang Qingyuan again.
