Chapter 118: Eastern Domain, Three Hypocritical Cultivators, Self-Destructing a Mystic Gate's Extrao
Chapter 118: Eastern Domain, Three Hypocritical Cultivators, Self-Destructing a Mystic Gate's Extraordinary Woman! (Part 2)
The three Fourth Stage cultivators saw this and their eyes turned red.
They were already injured, but you three were unscathed?
They exchanged glances, then burst into action, turning to attack Lu Ming and the other two, hoping to injure them and attract the demon souls, thus buying themselves time to escape.
"Not good!"
The masked woman and Han Li's expressions changed, and just as they were about to make their move, a pair of large hands pressed down on their shoulders.
"I've already said enough, haven't I?"
Lu Ming's voice faintly echoed, "During this time, your safety is my responsibility."
Riiiiip!
Lu Ming didn't move.
But the sword aura broke through the air in an instant, quickly defeating the three Fourth Stage cultivators' offensive and heavily injuring them!
"You?!"
The three Fourth Stage cultivators were shocked and pale, now realizing that they had kicked an iron plate.
However, Lu Ming ignored them, simply grabbing their storage bags and directly 'robbing' them.
Then, he left with the other two.
The heavily injured cultivators were soon surrounded by a large number of demon souls, their screams filling the air, making one's scalp tingle.
"Fellow Daoist, you..."
The masked woman was filled with doubt, "You've hidden so deeply!"
Han Li couldn't help but whisper, "A Fifth Stage expert?!"
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Fan Jianqiang, his senior brother. Before he ventured out, he felt that Fan Jianqiang was a waste of talent, but after experiencing more and especially after he himself became deeply involved in survivalism...
He suddenly realized.
Fan Jianqiang definitely has a problem!
That guy is most likely the true master of survivalism!
The Second Essence Condensation Stage, the first stage?
Bullshit!
He's probably at least the Third or even Fourth Stage!
And the person before them, who only displayed the cultivation of the Third Stage, had just demonstrated the abilities of a Fifth Stage cultivator.
Hiding two whole cultivation stages, pretending to be weak...
Too much survivalism!
Just now, he had protected the two of them, mere Third and First Stage cultivators, and refused to make a move!
This is simply...
How dare he!
Compared to Fan Jianqiang, they might be on par, a dragon and a phoenix among men!
"So what if it's the Fifth Stage?"
Lu Ming, following Han Li's lead, sighed, "That demon is a Sixth Stage expert. If I forcefully take the lead, I'm afraid I'll just die faster."
"Hurry, hurry, while those three idiots attract the demon souls, let's quickly break through the formation and escape!"
They continuously moved through the black mist, with Lu Ming leading the way, smoothly and without obstruction. Before long, they reached the edge of the formation.
The blood-red curtain was faintly visible, but they could all see its solidity.
Breaking it would be difficult! If Lu Ming went all out, it would be simple.
With his full power, a single sword strike could solve the problem.
But at this moment, he wanted to see what kind of abilities this masked woman truly had.
"It's your turn, both of you."
He remained 'vigilant' behind them.
Han Li immediately took out a mysterious iron plaque and pressed it against the blood-red curtain.
Hmm...
The blood-red curtain rippled like the surface of water, with the mysterious iron plaque at its center, and its color noticeably dimmed.
"Quick, make your move!"
He looked at the masked woman.
The masked woman took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged with her five hearts facing the sky, assuming a cultivation posture...
Under the puzzled gazes of the two, her physical body's Mystic Gate continuously lit up, glowing like light bulbs.
The First Stage, known as the Opening Mystic Gate.
The so-called Opening Mystic Gate corresponds to the nine major acupoints within the body.
But at this moment, her nine Mystic Gates lit up one after the other, glowing like light bulbs.
And then...
In Lu Ming's astonished gaze...
Boom!
A 'lightbulb' exploded.
Then the second, the third, the fourth...
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Nine lightbulbs exploded in rapid succession, and the masked woman's strength surged to a shocking degree in an instant.
Next, she pinched a secret technique, a highly specialized method for breaking formations.
After that, she gathered the power of the exploded 'lightbulbs', or rather, the 'Mystic Gates', into her palm and pressed it against the blood-red curtain.
Shua la la...
The blood-red curtain, already rippling like waves, trembled, and in just a few seconds, a passable gap appeared.
"Quick, go!"
The masked woman shouted.
Han Li and Lu Ming rushed out, with the masked woman closely following behind.
Once they were out, the formation closed.
The masked woman's aura instantly weakened, and she became an ordinary person in the blink of an eye.
Han Li was stunned: "..."
"What??"
To break the formation, she had to self-detonate all her Mystic Gates, becoming an ordinary person, and from then on, she would never be able to step onto the path of cultivation again?
You did this, and I feel a bit guilty.
Although I also need to pay a big price to break the formation, it's definitely not as big as this.
Lu Ming's eyes were fixed.
Myself...
It seemed like I had found a treasure!
At the same time, inside the formation.
The demon cultivator was toying with the soul of a Commerce Alliance manager, struggling and roaring, but trapped between his five fingers, it couldn't escape and could only scream miserably.
However, the more pitiful the soul's screams, the more excited the demon cultivator became.
Suddenly, he frowned.
"Someone broke the formation and got out?"
"Oh no, I can't play anymore."
"They will surely spread the news at the first opportunity, and I only have the time of an incense stick."
"Huff!"
"Damn it."
He immediately stopped playing with the various demon souls and stopped pursuing the fear of the living souls. Instead, he went all out and hunted them down at the fastest speed.
At the same time, he broke through the air and stepped on the formation, heading towards Han Li and Lu Ming, who had broken through the formation.
Soon.
He arrived, filled with hatred.
"Mere three ants actually managed to escape, ruining my grand plan!"
He personally took action to slaughter all three of them.
Han Li's expression changed, and he took out another object.
The masked woman dodged behind the two, for now, she was just an ordinary person, and against a Sixth Stage demon cultivator, she had no power to resist.
Moreover, as a Survivalist Daoist, she never thought of fighting for her life at the first opportunity.
"Die!"
The demon cultivator approached, his face cold, and killing intent filled the air.
It was at this moment.
Lu Ming, who didn't want to take action, frowned, then lifted his foot and kicked: "Get lost!"
"Don't disturb me!"
Boom!!!
This seemingly ordinary kick contained an extremely terrifying power, and the demon cultivator was sent flying back into the formation at an even faster speed than when he came. Then, he slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit.
At the bottom of the pit, the demon cultivator was in excruciating pain and couldn't get up for a while.
"You?"
"This?!"
Han Li was stunned.
The masked woman couldn't help but exclaim: "Sixth Stage?!"
"Or a Great Powerhouse?!!!"
"Who has such strength?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "Fifth Stage, Fifth Stage."
"It's just that my physical strength is quite abnormal!"
This was the truth.
He constantly shared his disciple's cultivation and combat power, and in this state, he was at the Ninth Level of the Fifth Stage, not yet at the Sixth Stage.
The reason he could kick the demon cultivator flying with one kick was partly because the opponent underestimated him and partly because Qin Yu had become stronger again.
His physical strength was quite abnormal!
Han Li's lips twitched: "Are you still a body cultivator?!"
The masked woman slumped to the ground, her eyes devoid of any spirit: "You, you have this strength, why did you run? My Mystic Gates, they all exploded, all of them exploded!!!"
"What if there's an old demon behind him? What if the small ones die and the big ones come?!" Lu Ming spread his hands.
He wasn't planning to take action, but now, he felt like he had discovered a treasure.
That demon cultivator dared to come and make a fuss, wasting time.
Shouldn't he get a kick for that?!
Speaking of which, he had forgotten to control his strength with that kick, and he probably didn't kick him to death. After all, demon cultivators naturally have robust physical qualities.
And if he were a little smarter, he would have known not to come and bother him.
If he wasn't smart enough, he would be seeking death.
But Lu Ming didn't think he would come again.
After all, he was a demon cultivator, and a crazy one at that. Such people don't care about face, and after being knocked down by a kick, they would realize the gap and wouldn't come back to seek death.
But they would hold grudges.
In the future, if they had a chance, they would definitely go all out, whether through schemes or other means.
In short, they would be like a grudge-holding mad dog.
A grudge-holding mad dog can't be allowed to live.
"So..."
He looked at the two: "Wait for me for a moment."
The two were dumbfounded.
The masked woman wanted to cry but had no tears.
You're being too cautious!
You almost got me killed!
Fortunately, I...
"Hmm?"
"What is he doing?"
The masked woman and Han Li looked at each other, bewildered.
They saw Lu Ming take out a pile of materials and quickly circle the formation, with the materials in his hand decreasing.
Then...
The formation changed color.
From blood red, it turned into a hazy azure blue.
"What?"
Looking at the returning Lu Ming, the two were confused: "What did you do?"
"Nothing."
Lu Ming clapped his hands and chuckled: "I just slightly modified and upgraded the formation. The demon cultivator shouldn't be able to get out for a short time."
"Then..."
"Whoever can contact the Commerce Alliance, inform them of the situation here and ask them to send people to subdue the demons as soon as possible!"
Lu Ming wanted to contact them himself, but unfortunately, he had just arrived and hadn't stayed in other parts of the Eastern Domain, so he couldn't establish contact.
Han Li's lips twitched.
He finally understood that this person was using the knife to kill others while not wanting to bear the consequences himself!
Clever! !!
He had learned, and learned again.
In the past, when he wanted to do something as extreme as murder and arson, he would simply "switch to Li Fei Yu" and do it, resulting in Li Fei Yu's reputation being quite poor, and he had to act cautiously.
So it could be like this?
Why hadn't he thought of it before?
He hurriedly took out a Communication Talisman and said, "I'm here."
Then, he contacted someone else from the Eastern Sea Commerce Alliance. Although he was just a minor figure, he took this matter very seriously, stating that he would immediately report it, and someone would arrive in no more than the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
Then, Lu Ming led the two people to retreat a distance.
They didn't wait for the incense stick to burn.
In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the sky tore open, and several terrifying figures descended!
"They're Great Powerhouses!"
Han Li was shocked.
There really were Great Powerhouses, and more than one!
They joined forces, directly tearing through the space to arrive, at such speed...
It might really save some people!
But it didn't matter; the three of them hadn't acted recklessly, so it couldn't be blamed on them.
Boom!!!
In the shock, a Great Powerhouse struck, shattering the Formation with a single palm.
Divine Sense swept over, and one by one, the Demon Souls exploded.
"Ten Thousand Souls Banner? !"
"Hmph, it turns out a Demon Cultivator was causing trouble, truly deserving death!"
"Eh? Not a Great Powerhouse?"
Someone reached out, instantly condensing a terrifying hand that descended from the sky, grabbing the Demon Cultivator trapped by the Formation, who had no hope of escape, his face devoid of the will to live.
"Far from being a Great Powerhouse!"
The Great Powerhouse who acted was dissatisfied.
Another Great Powerhouse said, "The strongest cultivator in this market district is only at the Fifth Stage. He has never seen a Great Powerhouse. For him, a Sixth Stage Demon Cultivator with a Ten Thousand Souls Banner is no different from a Great Powerhouse."
"I can sense that the manager of this market district was killed by him."
"Then there's no mistake."
"Extract his soul, refine it into a soul, and set up a celestial Flame Lamp, placing it atop the rebuilt Twenty-Seventh Market District to serve as an eternal flame, burning for a century!"
The Great Powerhouse who acted coldly snorted, "Also, let the later arrivals see the outcome of acting against the Eastern Sea Commerce Alliance's market district. These Demon Cultivators truly deserve death!"
Having said that, he directly acted, about to extract the soul.
"Ahhh!!!"
The Demon Cultivator screamed in pain, roaring continuously.
He knew that strong cultivators from the Eastern Sea Commerce Alliance would come, so he tried to escape within half the time it takes to burn an incense stick. However, he discovered that the Formation had changed!
The Formation he had set up to prevent others from escaping had actually trapped him!
It became his prison, his death sentence.
Thinking of Lu Ming's kick and the arrival of not one but several Great Powerhouses...
At this moment, there was no hope of escape.
Damn you, you immortal scoundrel!
Why am I so unlucky?
I'm just a minor Sixth Stage Demon Cultivator, only wanting to refine a Venerable Soul Banner. Why are you doing this to me?
Fine, fine, fine!
At the last moment of his Divine Soul being extracted, he couldn't hold back and cursed, "Damn, unjust!!!"
Sigh...
The Divine Soul was extracted.
His corpse was instantly reduced to powder.
The thousands of cultivators who survived by luck trembled, the feeling of post-catastrophe survival making them unable to stop tears from streaming down their faces.
At this moment, even the Great powerhouses frowned.
The ground covered in corpses and the heavy bloody smell made them feel angry.
"We will rebuild the Twenty-Seventh Market District!"
"You will all be compensated. Register with the Eastern Sea Commerce Alliance."
"The soul of this Demon Cultivator will serve as the eternal flame of the Twenty-Seventh Market District, and also as the core of the protective Formation, enduring torment for a century!"
Boom!
He took out a lamp, threw it in, and lit it.
The Demon Cultivator's Divine Soul immediately screamed in agony... but to the crowd, it didn't evoke fear; instead, it brought a sense of justice and satisfaction, as he truly deserved it!
"Eh?"
"The person I contacted from the Alliance has already left?"
"Not slow!"
"Alright, it's ultimately because of the information we received that we could come and save these people. Otherwise, if they all perished, it would have some impact on our alliance's reputation."
"Not bad..."
"Have someone investigate whether anyone targeted our alliance, colluding with Demon cultivators to act. If any clues are found, we must make them pay blood for blood!"
"..."
"..."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for leading us away. Otherwise, at our speed, we would certainly be intercepted and questioned by those great powerhouses. While it might not be dangerous, it would certainly be very troublesome."
Han Li thanked him.
After all, Han Li's character is a good person!
He might be a bit of a coward, but this is for doing good deeds, naturally, he couldn't ruin his reputation.
But this Fellow Daoist is even more of a coward!
Clearly so powerful, yet he protected me, Han Li, placing me in front of him. Simply... a role model for my generation!
Then, he looked at the masked woman, about to speak, but his eyes suddenly bulged.
"Eh?"
"First Opening Mystic Gate, opening one Mystic gate?"
"You? !"
Han Li was greatly shocked.
He even suspected there was something wrong with his eyes.
"Just now, I clearly saw you self-detonate nine Mystic Gates to deliver the strongest blow to break the formation. How could this be???"
He was almost dumbfounded.
Self-detonating Mystic Gates!
What's the difference from a martial cultivator self-detonating their Dantian?
You've detonated your Mystic Gates; shouldn't you be stuck at this stage for life, unable to cultivate further, and only exist as an ordinary person?
Yet, you can reopen Mystic Gates???
Am I mad, or is this world mad?
Or...
Is there something wrong with you?
He stared at the masked woman, finding the problem.
Lu Ming, however, smiled faintly.
Indeed, I guessed right.
This woman...
is a treasure!
It's precisely because of this that she was so decisive in self-detonating her Mystic Gates~
I need to think of a way to take her down~
Hmm!!!
