Chapter 44: Another Instant Kill, Something Strange
Chapter 44: Another Instant Kill, Something Strange
"???"
In the shadows, everyone who witnessed this scene was left baffled.
"This???"
"An illusion?"
"A Fourth Realm cultivator instantly counter-killing a Fifth Realm cultivator?"
Most of them believed that this group of 'early birds' wouldn't amount to much, especially after being struck by lightning.
However, they also thought that even if they couldn't defeat the Lan Yue Sect, they would at least give them a hard time.
At the very least, they should suffer some casualties!
After all, he was a Fifth Realm cultivator.
But the outcome before their eyes left everyone stunned.
"Me, this, him???"
Liu Xun's mouth hung wide open, "How can a Mystic Pointer cultivator be this weak?!"
He couldn't comprehend it.
You're at least a Fifth Realm cultivator with the support of Law Power!
Even if you were struck by lightning and injured, you shouldn't be counter-killed by a Fourth Realm cultivator, right? Especially when you had the first move, and yet you were instantly slain?
Unbelievable! It's truly incomprehensible.
If Liu Xun hadn't played landlord before, he would surely exclaim, "You're holding four twos and two kings in your hand, and you still lost? How bad are you?"
······
In the arena, the Mystic Pointer cultivator's corpse was torn into pieces.
Wu Xingyun stood there, his sword unsheathed, yet his body remained unstained by blood.
But the blood aura on his sword was thick beyond measure.
"There's something wrong with that sword!"
"It should be a secret technique."
"She paid a huge price, hurting herself before hurting others, spitting out essence blood. I don't know how long it will take to recover, and at this moment, she probably doesn't have much strength left."
There were indeed some knowledgeable people who noticed the clues.
"However, this secret technique is truly astonishing. If all five elders of the Lan Yue Sect know this secret technique..."
Many people felt a chill down their spines at that thought.
Those who came here could be divided into two categories.
One group was here for Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang, mostly from major powers, seeking 'Heavenly Pride' talents. Such top-tier Alchemy Masters were highly sought after by any sect.
Relatively speaking, they weren't as urgent.
The other group was made up of scattered cultivators.
Some small family heads, small sect leaders, and some solo cultivators were among them.
They knew they weren't qualified to have a top-tier Alchemy Master like Xiao Ling'er and had never even considered it, they just wanted to obtain the Fifth Rank Zenith Pill and the Alchemy Cauldron.
Of course, if they could raid the Lan Yue Sect's treasury, that would be the best outcome.
But at this moment...
These cultivators who had their eyes on the Zenith Pill hesitated.
The Fifth Rank Zenith Pill was indeed desirable, but the Lan Yue Sect seemed tougher than they had imagined.
A single elder could instantly counter-kill a Fifth Realm cultivator, let alone the other four elders, plus the Sect Protection Array, and the remaining foundation of the Lan Yue Sect...
Could they succeed if they went ahead? Most of them felt uncertain in their hearts.
They couldn't help but feel like retreating.
No one left immediately, though, as they could still observe further.
Perhaps they could take advantage of the chaos?
······
"So, it's this secret technique."
Liang Danxia was secretly shocked, "She's too extreme."
"What secret technique?" Xiao Ling'er hurriedly asked.
"The Octagram Bloodslaughter Sword Technique consists of eight swords, each named with a single character, hence the name 'Octagram'. However, this technique can also be used in combinations, like the 'Sky-Piercing Extinction' which is a combination of four swords.
This technique hurts the user before hurting others, and its offensive power is indeed astonishing, but the cost is the user's essence blood."
"So, it consumes the user's essence blood? Doesn't that affect one's foundation? Perhaps that's why she hasn't broken through the Mystic Pointer Realm yet? If she uses it more frequently, she might even regress in her cultivation realm."
"Second Elder..."
Xiao Ling'er's heart tightened.
"Teacher, is there a pill recipe that can help the Second Elder recover?"
"..."
······
"Second Elder's might is invincible!"
Fan Jianqiang cheered in survival mode.
The four elders couldn't bring themselves to be happy.
Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged.
However, the fists clenched behind his back tightened at some unknown moment.
"Strength.
"Time."
"Still too weak."
He whispered to himself, "Give me more time..."
...
"Is there anyone else who wants to make a move?"
Wu Xingyun did not back down.
Holding her spirit sword, her killing intent was chilling: "Don't hide in the shadows, you lowly bunch. Are you afraid of a mere fourth-realm woman like me?"
With renewed vigor, she continued!
This scene surprised everyone once again.
Could she still have the strength left?!
Naturally, someone couldn't sit still in the face of such taunts and ridicule.
Whoosh!
A downpour began.
But at some point, a figure silently appeared not far in front of Wu Xingyun: "Step down."
"I do not wish to bully the weak."
"Xiao Ling'er's talent in alchemy is such that the Moonseizing Sect can no longer keep her."
"Hand her over to me, and you can still forge a good connection."
This person lightly raised their hand, palm facing upwards.
"Otherwise..."
As the words fell, he casually flipped his palm over.
Boom!
A terrifying aura instantly descended from the heavens, as heavy as a divine mountain, causing Wu Xingyun's entire body to tremble under the immense pressure, almost kneeling.
"Moonseizing Sect, prepare to be destroyed."
"Fifth Finger Profound Realm, Third Level."
Wu Xingyun endured the immense pressure, her red lips moving, and a few words escaped through her clenched teeth.
"Your secret technique is indeed impressive. But when it comes to transcending realms in battle, I am not that useless waste. You only have one choice."
His words were directed at Wu Xingyun, but they were also meant for the entire Moonseizing Sect.
Su Xinghai responded to Lin Fan with a clear voice.
These words were also meant for the other cultivators who had come for the Finger Profound Pill.
Upon hearing these words and sensing that Su Xinghai had indeed just broken through to the Finger Profound Realm, they inwardly cursed their misfortune.
Was Xiao Ling'er a fool?!
To give away such a pill instead of keeping it for herself, and to offer it to this old man?!
We've made a trip for nothing!
At this moment, they felt extremely frustrated.
"Do you want to fight or leave?"
In response to Su Xinghai's interrogation, the other party coldly snorted.
"Seeking death! Do you think I don't have any secret techniques just because you do?!"
He took out his spirit artifact and immediately made his move.
The First Elder didn't waste any words and immediately spat out blood before counterattacking.
Boom!
The power of the law clashed.
Thunder rumbled in its wake.
However, just as the two were about to clash head-on, the Fifth Finger Profound Realm cultivator suddenly paused for a moment.
When skilled fighters battle, victory can be decided in an instant.
And it was in that instant that he met his end!
All his belongings and storage bag fell into Su Xinghai's hands.
"Something's wrong!"
At this moment, even Liu Xun noticed something amiss.
"This person should be an elder of Cloud Soaring Valley, but why did he suddenly pause?"
"It's as if..."
"He suddenly froze, allowing Su Xinghai to kill him?"
Su Xinghai had witnessed it clearly, and his perception was exceptionally sharp.
If he hadn't paused, even if the Cloud Soaring Valley elder was temporarily at a disadvantage, he could have prolonged the fight. He shouldn't have been instantly killed!"
