Chapter 280: Chapter 225: The Demon Calling Heart Sutra
Appears in the World, Being Weak is a Sin_2
As the sword thrust forward, its luminescence flashed like lightning—too swift for even Divine Sense to grasj^the next moment it slammed into Li Hu, one of the guards.
“How is this possible?!”
“Who the hell is this guy?”
“How can he be this powerful?”
Li Hu’s eyes bulged, his pupils revealing a horrified look. To his dismay, he found his low-tier defensive armour treated as if it was made of paper.
Pierced through effortlessly by this sharply intense Sword Qi.
A gaping bloody hole appeared in his abdomen, blood gushed out like a free flowin source.
With a ’thud’, his body fell to the ground, losing almost all of his fighting ability.
However, due to the robust vitality of Golden Core cultivator, he was not dead
“Husband, you are so powerful.”
At this moment, Leng Yuexi finally arrived. She had witnessed her husband, Zhou Sui, severely injuring an early stage Golden Core cultivator with a mere flick of his wrist.
Though her husband has spent years cultivating in the mountains, preferring to avoid any risks or battles,
the world believed that her husband was not fond of fighting and primarily identified as an Array Master and Alchemist.
Unbeknownst to others, his battle talent was exceedingly high.
As a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he easily crushed the
Golden Core cultivator.
This accomplishment alone would be enough to etch his name in the history of the Cultivation World.
Such combat prowess was overly exaggerated and beyond imagination.
At this moment, Shangguan Xu finally realized his predicament. Seeing his two Golden Core bodyguards rendered half-dead, it dawned upon him that he had tangled with a tough adversary.
His face twisted ferociously as he withdrew his second high-grade artifact, the Shadowless Needle, from his possession.
It was crafted from the essence of five metals. Leaving no trace nor shadows in its wake, it was capable of causing invisible harm to individuals.
Moreover, it specifically penetrated all types of defensive artifacts, killing ferociously.
Using this high-grade artifact, he had claimed countless lives.
Even a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator would potentially get killed instantly upon contact with the Shadowless Needle if they were caught off guard.
In an instant, Shangguan Xu directed the Shadowless Needle towards Zhou Sui, launching his attack.
A silvery chill in the mid-air silently merged into the void, its speed phenomenally fast. In the blink of an eye, it reached Zhou Sui’s side.
It seemed as though it would hit Zhou Sui directly, but Zhou Sui had sensed Shangguan Xu’s movements long before. He could fully anticipate what Shangguan Xu was planning to do next, thanks to his extraordinary power of Heart Eyes, which were even more formidable than Divine Sense, allowing him to keep an eye on his surroundings.
Shangguan Xu’s stealthy moves could not deceive him.
Zhou Sui activated the Teleportation Insect. In a flash, he dodged Shangguan
The Shadowless Needle immediately hit a distant building. The towering building was instantly blown up by the impact, with countless traces of transparent energy bursting forth, turning the building into a beehive formation.
In just an instant, the whole building turned into ruins.
Now one can imagine the power of the high-grade artifact, the Shadowless Needle.
If it were to strike a mountain, it could easily crumble instantly.
Among the high-grade artifacts, its lethality was considered one of the best.
“How could you dodge my Shadowless Needle?!”
Shangguan Xu was stunned for a moment. He was always invincible when he used this artifact before.
Oftentimes, his enemies died instantly from his invisible needle, without offering any resistance.
But now, his current opponent seemed to anticipate his next move, and effortlessly dodged his attack.
He quickly realized that the enemy in front of him was beyond comparison to the cultivators he had encountered before.
However, Zhou Sui had no intention of responding to anything Shangguan Xu said. Holding his flying sword, he again manifested the True Dragon Sword Art, aiming a direct hit towards Shangguan Xu.
True Dragon Sword Intent!
At this moment, this sword—several times more terrifying than before-merged both Sword Qi and Sword Intent, forming a horrifying Sword Radiance. Indomitable, it was even more terrifying than the Shadowless Needle.
As if a true dragon was roaring.
With just one sword strike, the high-grade defensive artifact, Xuan Turtle Cover, Shangguan Xu had originally equipped was instantly broken into pieces. The entire energy shield shattered, and after receiving a powerful impact, he was cruelly slammed onto the ground.
He instantly made a deep pit.
With a ‘spurt’, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Suffering from an unprecedented power, all of his internal organs were seriously injured.
At this moment, Shangguan Xu finally understood what fear was. A chill rose from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head—with the man standing before him intending to kill him.
The problem was, he was the son of Nascent Soul Ancestor- a Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator.
He had a lifetime of potential ahead-possibility of becoming a Nascent Soul Ancestor or even a Nascent Soul Elder.
There was still a lot of wealth and glory yet to enjoy.
How could he just die here?
“I am Shangguan Xu, the son of the Nascent Soul Ancestor Shangguan Qing of the Wuji Alliance.”
“If you kill me, my father, even the Wuji Alliance will certainly seek to hunt you down.”
“Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will meet a dead-end. Do you understand?”
Shangguan Xu threatened, trembling with fear, using his Nascent Soul Ancestor father’s status as his last resort.
“So what if it’s the Nascent Soul Ancestor?”
“The Canglan Sea area is so vast; there are plenty of places to hide. The Nascent Soul Ancestor can’t find us no matter what..”
