Chapter 82: Chapter 72: Kill Gong Chi, Obtain the Secret Art [5K] (2)
Three Yang Finger.
This was bestowed by the Heaven Left Alliance Leader, acquired from a secret realm outside Deadman Peak. The complete version belongs to a Foundation Establishment stage technique, but even the incomplete version he practiced is still an exceptional Qi Cultivation technique.
Not inferior to those undisclosed secrets of the main peak of Deadman Peak!
One finger.
Can sever a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer!
Cross-boundary enemy killing!
"Die!"
With a turn of the body and a point, three beams of golden light shimmer with golden patterns invisible to the naked eye, converging into a bowl-sized golden ray instantly burst forth, and its terrifying aura instantly spread throughout Feixian Peak.
At this moment, Gong Chi saw clearly what attacked him.
A ghost entity?
It’s him!
The memories flooded Gong Chi; it was the ghost cultivator who stole half of his blood essence in the Chen Clan Territory!
The mastermind behind the battle for Three Thousand Blood Inks!
Why does he want to kill me?
Upon witnessing this scene, Gong Chi no longer had the desire to be reckless; he turned to escape, worried that this single finger wouldn’t kill the opponent. Just as he was turning, the golden ray swiftly flashed by, but the ghost entity had already vanished.
Turning back.
It’s right in front of him.
Its speed was so fast, leaving Gong Chi in despair.
When he felt that pull coming again, starting to tear his soul apart, Gong Chi lost even the ability to keep his magical artifact functioning. He wanted to perform the longevity secret technique once more, but if he did, even if the opponent didn’t kill him, he’d be left with only a few years to live.
Indistinguishable from death.
But no matter what, it’s better than dying now.
In the next moment, Gong Chi prepared to perform the secret technique again; however, just as he tried to mobilize his magical power, he found he couldn’t. With an internal view, Gong Chi instantly saw a swarming mass of Law-Devouring Yin Insects within him.
Covering his meridians, Dantian.
The number made his scalp tingle.
"How can there be Law-Devouring Yin..." Gong Chi opened his mouth in despair, his soul forcibly extracted by the Three Evil Corpses at this moment.
Just as he was on the verge of death, Wen Jiu gradually appeared before him, along with the ghost entity, instantly disappearing within the dungeon.
Gong Chi’s pupils widened suddenly.
Wen Jiu!
How could it be him!
...
Just as Wen Jiu used Blood Corpse Escape to leave, another figure swiftly appeared within the collapsing dungeon.
This person was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s Divine Sense quickly scanned the surroundings but sensed no one, only the faint ghostly aura, evil qi, some corpse qi, and Gong Chi’s lifeless body.
Probing with his Divine Sense, he immediately saw the swarm of Law-Devouring Yin Insects within Gong Chi and frowned.
Ghostly aura?
Evil qi?
Corpse qi?
And Law-Devouring Yin Insects?
Why is it so mixed.
"To kill Gong Chi in ten breaths, leaving not even a soul, is clearly the work of a Late Stage Qi Cultivator." Yet what astonished Ye Chen the most was the opponent’s ability to come and go without a trace.
No trace of aura left behind.
But, with no time to ponder, the dungeon began to collapse massively, and Ye Chen had no choice but to take Gong Chi’s body and leave first.
Soon, Feng Xuan and the other two were drawn over.
They saw the golden ray piercing through the mountain and felt the terrifying aura it emitted.
Originally thinking someone from the Heaven Left Alliance had infiltrated Feixian Peak secretly, but upon arrival, they only saw Elder Ye Chen and Gong Chi’s corpse.
Feng Xuan was about to speak when Ye Chen raised his hand to silence them, "There is an extremely powerful Late Stage Qi Cultivator on Feixian Peak; even I cannot trace his aura... but he should not be from the Heaven Left Alliance."
"What?"
Feng Xuan and the other two were confused.
Ye Chen continued, "If he were from the Heaven Left Alliance, he wouldn’t sneak up the mountain just to kill Gong Chi. Although I can also kill Gong Chi in mere breaths, I wouldn’t be able to extract his soul and escape silently."
"Elder, what should we do now?" Feng Xuan’s expression changed; having an unknown Late Stage Qi Cultivator appear in this situation.
Such a variable could potentially unravel their plans.
Especially hearing that even Elder Ye Chen admitted he wasn’t a match for the opponent left Feng Xuan even more uneasy.
But Ye Chen at the moment didn’t care about this; he was more concerned about who the opponent was and why Gong Chi was killed.
With such power.
Isn’t it easy to kill Gong Chi?
Why choose now to do it?
"You all go back and continue overseeing the front; since the opponent directly left, it indicates they aren’t after the Three Thousand Blood Ink Corpses. If any issues arise, I am here, no need for concern." Ye Chen left these words, taking Gong Chi’s body back to the main hall, beginning a thorough inspection of Gong Chi’s body from top to bottom.
Feng Xuan and the other two exchanged glances, their hearts beating despite the tension, but with arrows already on the string, they must let them fly.
The three could only hope now that the mysterious Late Stage Qi Cultivator wasn’t a Heaven Left Alliance ally.
If he was.
Tonight’s outcome would be uncertain.
...
Beyond Feixian Peak.
Five miles away in a dense forest.
Wen Jiu landed heavily in the forest, immediately glancing around several times, ensuring no one was around, then stored the Three Evil Corpses in the Corpse Nurturing Coffin and used a Divine Movement Talisman to quickly distance himself from Feixian Peak.
Why the distance?
Because he just made the Three Evil Corpses employ Blood Corpse Escape three times, along with two Postnatal Corpse Technique Divine Techniques.
Though the Black Corpse transformed into Three Evil Corpses required fewer corpses to perform Blood Corpse Escape once, it still needed a substantial amount.
Three times equated to four and a half parts.
Capturing souls twice required two parts of corpse qi.
A total consumption of six and a half parts.
Thus, he needed to find a place to recover some corpse qi; as for the battlefield of Feixian Peak, he wasn’t worried at all. Because the departing Three Evil Corpses just sensed a strong cultivator arriving from the main peak.
