Chapter 94: Chapter 78: Slaying the Golden Core [200 Monthly Tickets Extra]
Lu Yi’s face suddenly stiffened. What bad luck he had encountered the disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect again!
Last time it was a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and this time, it was even worse, as he had encountered a Golden Core cultivator.
This was still the territory of the White Cloud Sect, so why were there disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect here again?
Lu Yi furrowed his brows, remembering the warning from the Elder at the Affairs Hall that there had been an increase in sightings of Blood Spirit Sect disciples in White Cloud Sect territory recently, and he hadn’t expected to run into them on back-to-back sect tasks.
As for the Golden Core elder being chased by that Blood Spirit Sect Golden Core, Lu Yi wasn’t sure, but the elder was probably from a Cultivation Family under the White Cloud Sect’s jurisdiction.
While Lu Yi was observing the two Golden Core cultivators, the Blood Spirit Sect Golden Core was about to catch up with the white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder, sensing the aura behind him, looked extremely troubled and roared, “Blood Spirit demons, how dare you ambush cultivators within the bounds of the White Cloud Sect, aren’t you afraid of the White Cloud Sect’s retaliation?!”
The disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect sneered from behind, “If you all die, how would the White Cloud Sect even know? Old fool, stop struggling, you can’t escape.”
During the conversation, the Blood Spirit Sect cultivator squeezed a sword technique, and five blood-colored swords shot from his body. The swords turned into streaks of light, aiming straight for the white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder circulated Spiritual Energy around his body, summoning a white umbrella which opened like a shield, constantly blocking the blood-colored swords.
The booming sound was incessant, with waves of Spiritual Energy dissipating from the collisions. Wherever it passed, the trees on the ground shook violently as if they might be uprooted at any moment.
“Kill!” the disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect shouted, a streak of blood shot out, heavily hitting the white umbrella, shattering it instantly. The white-haired elder’s hair bristled in anger as he roared repeatedly, his robe billowing as he grasped forth, conjuring a giant hand of flame that grasped towards the streak of blood.
The blood streak and the giant hand collided, producing a violent booming noise.
Underneath the sound of the boom, both the giant hand of flame and the blood streak exploded, with fiery rain falling down and igniting the forest, while the elder’s face paled as he was sent flying backward, blood once again trickling from the corners of his mouth.
Just then, five blood-colored swords pierced through the air again, aiming at the elder.
The elder’s face changed quickly as he hurriedly dodged, but he was still penetrated by one of the blood-colored swords through his abdomen, staining the sky with blood.
A massive hole appeared in the abdomen of the elder, his internal organs visibly squirming, but the Golden Core cultivator’s vitality was extremely strong; despite this, the elder was not dead. After falling hard to the ground, he coughed up blood repeatedly while looking at the Blood Spirit Sect disciple in the sky with eyes full of unwillingness.
The Blood Spirit Sect disciple’s mouth curled up slightly, with a sneer, slowly descended from the sky, looking down at the elder while snickering, “I told you, you couldn’t escape.”
“Cough, cough, the White Cloud Sect won’t let you get away with this!”
The disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect laughed unconcernedly, “That’s a matter for later. By then, you’ll just be a piece of Blood Essence. The Blood Essence of a Golden Core cultivator, heh, it’s a great tonic.”
The disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect pinched a spell, planning to capture the elder alive and take him back.
Just at that moment, a fiercely intense sword intent burst forth from behind the disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, carrying a series of devastating Thunder Power, causing the disciple’s hairs to stand on end.
He roared angrily, Spiritual Energy surged around him, but as he was about to defend himself, a streak of sword light had already sliced across the disciple’s neck. His eyes widened in shock, a column of blood spurting out as his vision spun, seeing a somewhat young-looking youth standing behind him, holding a long sword. The youth, astonishingly, was at the Qi Cultivation Realm.
How could this be? I am a Golden Core!
The disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, filled with reluctance, had this last thought cross his mind before he lost consciousness.
Lu Yi watched the corpse of the Blood Spirit Sect disciple fall, exhaling softly.
If the two Golden Core cultivators had simply flown over him, Lu Yi wouldn’t have intervened.
But he certainly hadn’t expected them to land so close to him; then there was no help for it.
Lu Yi had cultivated his Concealing Breath Skill to the extreme level, and additionally, his fine control over his aura, having broken through the Heavenly Tao Limitation, allowed him to easily evade the perception of the Golden Core cultivator and deliver a fatal blow from behind.
While attacking from behind wasn’t particularly honorable, Lu Yi didn’t feel ashamed; in fact, he felt rather pleased.
He hadn’t expected it to be so easy to kill a Golden Core cultivator.
He glanced at his task panel.
[Task]
Kill a Blood Spirit Sect Golden Core cultivator. (completed)
Reward: Golden Core Skill “Seven Mysterious Sword Skill.”
Would you like to claim the reward: Yes/No
Indeed, before making his move, Lu Yi had set himself this task.
Although it was a bit risky and might have caused quite a stir, the reward was quite tempting.
A Golden Core Skill, and it was a Sword technique!
Currently, Lu Yi’s only skill was the White Cloud Sword Technique; although the extreme-level White Cloud Sword Technique was not weak and could even be compared with some very powerful Foundation Establishment Skills, he naturally preferred having stronger methods.
However, the cultivation difficulty of a Golden Core Skill should be very high, and Lu Yi did not know how long it would take to cultivate this skill to a higher level.
Of course, he was not in a hurry, as he had plenty of time.
Lu Yi did not claim the reward yet, but instead turned his attention to the white-haired elder ahead.
At that moment, the white-haired elder, covering the massive wound on his abdomen with one hand, stared blankly at Lu Yi.
