Chapter 51: Azure Clouds Foundation Establishment
hum! ! !
Li Jing, who was completely unprepared, probably never dreamed that a junior in the Qi Refining stage would dare to take the initiative to attack him, let alone expect that Cao Xing had a high-grade magic artifact like the Golden Light Ring.
In just one glance, Li Jing felt a violent buzzing in his head, as if he had been hit on the head with a blunt object. A tearing pain surged from his brain, causing his limbs to stiffen.
As a fellow disciple, Cao Xing was ruthless in his attack. The instant he unleashed the golden light sword, he simultaneously delivered a lightning-fast punch to Li Jing's head.
"Snapped!"
The seemingly simple fist, when empowered by the seventh level of the Crimson Blood True Understanding Profound Skill, can unleash a power powerful enough to shatter stone tablets with a single punch.
Like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer, it instantly exploded! Red and white fragments scattered everywhere. The headless corpse swayed, then collapsed to the ground with a "thud," without even uttering a scream.
Cao Xing's smooth combo was so fast that He Tai, Gao Fan, and Zheng Songtao, who were standing nearby, didn't even have time to wipe the smiles off their faces before their pupils suddenly contracted and their minds went blank.
At the instant Li Jing's head exploded, Cao Xing's figure did not pause at all. Taking advantage of the momentum of his forward charge, he pushed off with his feet and rushed towards He Tai, who was closest to him, like an arrow released from a bow.
"court death!!"
He Tai, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, quickly recovered from his shock and raised his hand to summon a magic weapon, a low-grade magic weapon called the Golden Gauze Wheel, which he aimed at Cao Xing.
The golden halo cleaved through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages.
Sensing the approaching killing intent, Cao Xing swiftly dodged to the side, a flash of golden light piercing through the door behind him.
With a loud "BOOM!", the house was instantly pierced and cut open.
Although He Tai missed his first attack, he gave Gao Fan and Zheng Songtao time to react.
"Attack together and kill him!" Gao Fan roared, summoning his magical artifact, a defensive artifact called [Water Shield].
A burst of blue light appeared, blocking Cao Xing's path. Cao Xing threw a punch, the blue light surging, but his fist could not penetrate it.
At that moment, Zheng Songtao also rushed up, holding a short sword in his hand, a golden sword light bursting from the blade.
With the three of them working together, Cao Xing was forced to retreat again, dodging the sword's edge but also putting himself in a corner.
"A mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator dares to act wildly in front of us."
He Tai and his two companions closed in again. In their eyes, Cao Xing was only at the Qi Refining stage. He had killed Senior Brother Li earlier only by using a sneak attack. Now that the three of them were working together, this kid would have no chance of escaping.
Cao Xing's face was extremely grim. He looked up at Cheng Jing and Zhang Qiang beside him and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Do you think they'll let you go? Only by fighting to the death will you have a chance!"
Cheng Jing and Zhang Qiang looked at each other, already terrified. Hearing Cao Xing's loud voice, they gritted their teeth, made a decision immediately, and turned to run.
They may not have the skill to kill, but they certainly have the courage to run away.
"Trying to run? Do you think you can escape?" He Tai recalled Jin Shalun and pointed at the two men.
"Whoosh!!"
The golden light cleaved through the air and arrived behind the two in the next second.
Zhang Qiang and Cheng Jing were no match for Cao Xing physically. As the golden light descended, their expressions changed drastically. Unable to dodge, they screamed, "Spare us!"
"puff!"
Before the sound had even faded, the golden light had already sliced the two of them in half at the waist.
However, just as He Tai struck and killed Zhang Qiang and Cheng Jing, a cold glint appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
be cheated!
Cao Xing kept feigning weakness in order to draw the three of them closer and prevent them from escaping. He also reminded Zhang Qiang and Cheng Jing that whether they ran or chose to fight, it would distract the three of them.
Cao Xing was waiting for this moment when they would be distracted.
"Sister!"
Cao Xing suddenly flicked his hand, and two bracelets flew out. One was Zhang Feiyu's family heirloom, the [Magnetic Light Black Essence Ring], while the other revealed the figure of Bixia in mid-air.
Bixia reached out and grabbed the Black Essence Ring. Her demonic energy surged, and the Black Essence Ring grew larger in the wind, transforming into the size of a millstone. Bixia raised it high and threw it with all her might.
"call!!"
A tearing sound erupted in the air, and the expressions of He Tai and the other two changed drastically.
With a loud "bang!", Gao Fan's face turned pale instantly. Although both were low-grade magic weapons, the Black Gold Ring was indestructible. After being empowered by Bixia's terrifying power, it unleashed a power that surpassed that of low-grade magic weapons.
In contrast, Gao Fan's flowing water shield relies on his own true energy to maintain it.
After the two collided, Gao Fan felt his internal energy go berserk instantly, and the terrifying backlash force even penetrated through his limbs. He spat out a mouthful of blood and could no longer maintain the operation of the water shield.
At the same time, Bixia had already attacked. Having cultivated the Crimson Blood True Understanding Profound Technique to the sixteenth level, Bixia's figure was already incredibly fast. By the time Gao Fan came to his senses, all he saw was a blinding red light flashing by.
The next moment, Gao Fan felt a chill on his chest, and a fist-sized hole appeared in his chest.
After killing Gao Fan, Bixia lunged directly at Zheng Songtao.
"What is that?!"
As the red light approached, Zheng Songtao gritted his teeth, his sword swirling in his hand, and with a single stroke, it split into countless sword shadows.
However, the next second, Zheng Songtao was filled with despair.
The golden sword light slashed at the red figure, causing sparks to fly and a metallic clanging sound to be heard. Bixia, however, braved the dense rain of swords and charged straight at Zheng Songtao.
With just one finger, a large hole was punched in Zheng Songtao's chest.
What Demon-Slaying Sword, what Foundation Establishment cultivation? Under Bixia's absolutely powerful physical body, they are nothing more than a little thicker than a window sheet.
Seeing that in the blink of an eye, all four of his companions were dead except for him, He Tai was terrified. He immediately leaped up, wanting to use his cultivation to escape quickly.
He quickly threw out two Cloud-Soaring Talismans, and his figure soared into the air. Watching Cao Xing and Bixia's figures getting further and further away, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ultimately, you're only at the Qi Refining stage and can't use the Cloud Soaring Talisman. Now you two can only stare at each other helplessly.
He Tai narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that when he got back, he must find his senior brother and make sure those two died without a burial place.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Suddenly, a cold laugh came from above, making He Tai feel cold all over. He raised his head sharply and found that there was a person standing above him.
The person was shrouded in gloom, but his appearance was ferocious and terrifying. He pressed his hands down! An invisible, heavy, and chilling force suddenly tore through the void and transformed into a black stone tablet that fell down.
The Prison Soul-Suppressing Monument!
He Tai's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and a fear originating from the deepest part of his soul instantly seized him.
Above his head, the black stone tablet was not a physical object, but it exuded a pressure heavier than a mountain. It crashed down on him, instantly freezing his soul and rendering him unable to move, as if invisible iron chains were binding his soul.
He Tai opened his mouth in terror and let out a short whimper, wanting to use the golden gauze wheel to split the stone tablet. However, the moment this thought arose, the stone tablet suddenly trembled, and a huge, invisible sense of oppression came over and exploded in He Tai's mind.
Suddenly, He Tai's vision went black, and his body fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string. Before he could hit the ground, Bixia grabbed him and bit his neck.
"puff!!"
The Spirit Absorption Technique was activated, and strands of red light surged from He Tai's body, continuously being absorbed into Bi Xia's body.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator possesses an abundance of spiritual energy within their body, far exceeding the aid of any elixirs.
In a short while, He Tai's body was sucked into a skin and bones of dried meat, while Bi Xia's blood aura became even stronger, and with each breath, her body was filled with blood energy.
The fur on the other half of Bixia's face gradually receded, and her tail disappeared as well. Cao Xing's face lit up with joy: "Foundation Establishment!"
