Chapter 485: Dragon Slaying Technique, Hundred Harm Daoist
Chapter 485: Dragon Slaying Technique, Hundred Harm Daoist
"Satisfying! So satisfying!"
"Again, come again!"
If the outcome of the battle on the Snow Wolf Plateau was of utmost importance, then the fight between Fu Jiu Sheng and Wang Yuan was undoubtedly the most thrilling.
The reason was simple.
The fighting style of the two combatants was straightforward and brutal.
They abandoned the use of fancy magical artifacts and discarded slow-casting spells and techniques.
All they had was a relentless, life-and-death clash between a man and a wolf.
Neither of them was a pure body-refining cultivator.
Wang Yuan was empowered by his Qi and blood energy, while the Wolf King was covered in demonic energy.
Thus, in their head-on collision, massive, invisible waves of energy surged around them, stirring up thousands of layers of wind and snow.
Wang Yuan fought with increasing excitement!
Since entering the cultivation world, he hadn't fought this exhilaratingly in a long time.
His previous enemies either ganged up on him or had much higher cultivation realms, creating an absolute suppression.
Occasionally, when he faced a lone opponent, they would often only compete in combat techniques.
Perhaps only Luo Chen could allow him to fight with all his strength in a pure body-refining battle.
But Luo Chen, in his pursuit of cultivation and conservation of spirit power, rarely sparred with him to avoid causing too much disturbance.
Only today!
With Fu Jiu Sheng's support, he had no more worries and fought with all his might against this Third Stage Early Rank Demon Wolf King.
Even though he was at a disadvantage in every battle.
But each time he retreated, he would return with renewed vigor, relentlessly clinging to his opponent.
During this process, he continuously circulated the four types of Qi energy he had comprehended: Bright Qi, Dark Qi, Transformation Qi, and Essence Qi.
Using them in succession and alternating between them, he enveloped himself, allowing him to withstand the enemy's attacks repeatedly.
Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, but he was filled with excitement.
"Luo Chen was right; my opportunity doesn't lie in the arena but on the battlefield!"
"That feeling I had earlier... If I can find that feeling again, I will surely be able to condense my Qi into a pill!"
Just as he was covered in injuries but his battle intent grew stronger with each clash.
Behind him, Fu Jiu Sheng's delighted voice rang out.
"The formation is complete, Wang Yuan! Hold that beast back!"
The formation was complete? Wang Yuan felt a twinge of regret.
He could sense that in this life-and-death battle, the feeling that had appeared several times was precisely the key to condensing his Qi into a pill.
If he could continue...
"Never mind, there will be more battles ahead, and I don't need to rush."
"Let's win this battle first!"
With a thought, his eyes blazed with fire, and he took a large step forward, charging towards the Demon Wolf.
As he ran, blood-red giant pythons appeared on his back, formed from the Essence Qi.
After getting close to the Demon Wolf, he took a hit from the Demon Moon Slash, then the blood-red pythons flew out and entangled the Demon Wolf King.
Seeing that Wang Yuan had held the Demon Wolf, Fu Jiu Sheng's formation instantly activated.
Beams of light rose from the ground.
They converged in the air, forming a mirror.
The mirror suddenly flipped, emitting a beam of light as thick as a bucket, which shot down and struck the Demon Wolf King directly.
Boom!
"Awoo!"
A piercing, miserable howl resounded.
Under the massive beam of light, the Demon Wolf King was crushed to the ground, unable to move.
"Good, after being hit by my formation, it can't escape. Wang Yuan, you can back off now."
Fu Jiu Sheng said with satisfaction.
He didn't kill the demon as he had said earlier but decided to capture it alive.
Wang Yuan's exceptional bravery had bought him too much time.
Since he could capture it alive, why bother killing it? Having a Third Stage Demon King would bring enormous profits, whether for guarding the mountain or selling it.
His future cultivation resources might very well come from this Third Stage Demon Wolf King.
Of course!
Wang Yuan had contributed significantly to this battle, and Fu Jiu Sheng was prepared to share half of the profits with him.
On the ground, the blood-red giant pythons slowly retracted and entered Wang Yuan's body.
His Giant Spirit Transformation was about to reach its limit.
His body gradually shrank, and Wang Yuan looked at the gruesome wounds on his body and the dislocated bones within, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He had won in the end! As for breaking through to the next cultivation realm, he hadn't achieved it under the pressure of the battle.
But he had captured that feeling.
As long as he contemplated it further...
Just as his mind relaxed, a faint sound suddenly echoed in the void.
It was like a spiritual snake spitting out its tongue, hissing for a moment.
Whoosh!
Wang Yuan's soul trembled, and in the face of life and death, he frantically circulated his Qi energy throughout his body.
In his vision, a faint flash of white light disappeared.
...
Five hundred li away from the Snow Wolf Plateau, on a small mountain.
A cultivator looked at the mirror before him with satisfaction.
"After receiving my attack, there's no chance of survival."
"This task is complete!"
Just as he was about to leave with satisfaction.
A furious roar echoed through the sky.
"Damn it!"
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a giant palm print enveloped in endless green flames slammed down.
The Daoist's eyebrows furrowed, and he summoned a shield.
"Something's wrong!"
When the shield came into contact with the palm print, his expression changed drastically.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted.
The shield only lasted for a moment before shattering into pieces.
The flame palm print relentlessly pressed down.
In an instant, the entire small mountain was flattened, reduced to nothingness.
A terrifying wave of energy rippled out from the mountain's original location, spreading like a tidal wave.
Even more bizarrely, a flame that seemed capable of devouring life swirled within the surging energy.
This terrifying scene shocked everyone.
Whoosh!
A red figure descended upon the small mountain, hovering in the air.
Looking at the massive crater on the ground and the endless smoke and dust, Luo Chen's face darkened.
His massive divine perception spread out like a net, covering the entire area. His cold eyes, gleaming with spiritual light, scanned in all directions.
Did they escape?
"You lowly scoundrels, don't let me catch you!"
Luo Chen spat out harsh words, then flew to Fu Jiu Sheng's side without a backward glance.
"How's the situation?"
"Not good. The one who ambushed Wang Yuan is clearly a Golden Core Cultivator, and his spirit energy is extremely malicious."
"I'll handle it!"
Without hesitation, Luo Chen placed his hand on the unconscious Wang Yuan's back.
Pure Wood-attribute spirit energy surged into Wang Yuan's body, searching for the malicious spirit energy that was constantly damaging his body.
"Don't stay here, quickly go and deal with the monster beast."
Fu Jiu Sheng hesitated for a moment, "What about this Demon Wolf King?"
Luo Chen's face flashed with sternness, and he raised his left hand, causing the Mystic Flame Sword to transform into a meteor and pierce the head of the struggling Third Stage Demon Wolf.
As the Mystic Flame Sword flew out of its body, the Demon Wolf showed no signs of life.
"Don't let petty gains blind your eyes. Remember our strategy for this mission!"
Fu Jiu Sheng looked at the Demon Wolf's corpse with regret, then joined the battle.
With his addition, the previously intense battle between humans and Demon Wolves quickly turned one-sided.
The last remaining Demon Wolf King, the only one still alive, was swiftly slain by the combined efforts of Wu Diqi, Jiang Yu, and Cen Qiu Sheng.
The Snow Wolf Plateau was now under their control, and nothing could stop their momentum.
...
Within a canyon, a masked Xiao Xiangzi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly observing the unique terrain.
If a battle were to take place here, utilizing the terrain to set up formations, even a Golden Core Cultivator would find it difficult to escape with their life. Suddenly, his eyes flickered.
Plop!
A figure emerged from the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood that carried a scorching heat.
Xiao Xiangzi furrowed his brows, "Is it that difficult to assassinate a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
The figure was in a sorry state, his Daoist robe scorched by flames.
He wiped the blood from his mouth and said bitterly, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Xiao Xiangzi observed him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Was it Dan Chenzi who made a move?"
The Daoist hesitated, "It was him. It's said that this person is skilled in fire spells, and now it seems the rumors are true. Despite his seemingly low cultivation level, a single spell nearly killed me outside the Snow Wolf Plateau."
"Did you expose your true identity?"
The Daoist shook his head, "From such a distance, I didn't expose myself. The only trace I left behind was probably my damaged defensive magical artifact, which he shattered into pieces."
In the cultivation world, magical tools and artifacts were abundant.
Even rare artifacts often had similar counterparts.
With just a damaged defensive artifact, the opponent would never find the true culprit.
Xiao Xiangzi heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good. Wang Yuan humiliated my Huanzhen Lou's reputation on the Moonbreaker Immortal City's arena. If we don't kill him and let him continue his activities, my Huanzhen Lou's business will suffer in the future. By the way, is Wang Yuan dead?"
The Daoist hesitated.
Under Xiao Xiangzi's increasingly suspicious gaze, he quickly replied, "He must be dead. Don't you trust my Hundred Harm Daoist's methods?"
Xiao Xiangzi hummed in acknowledgment.
He was well aware of the Hundred Harm Daoist's prowess.
Despite his low cultivation level and average combat abilities, he excelled in stealth and assassination.
Even within Huanzhen Lou, he was ranked among the top five gold-ranked assassins.
Sending him to assassinate Wang Yuan was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. If he couldn't succeed, Xiao Xiangzi would have to consider kicking the Hundred Harm Daoist out of Huanzhen Lou.
"Alright, it's done. You can return to the main base to recover your injuries!"
The Hundred Harm Daoist hesitated, "But Dan Chenzi is the type to hold grudges. I fear he won't let this go since I injured his subordinate."
"Hmph, who cares about him." Xiao Xiangzi dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand, "He's not focused on grudges and killings right now, and he won't cause us trouble. Besides... Huanzhen Lou is never afraid of trouble!"
...
Inside the Snow Wolf Plateau, in a large cave filled with abundant celestial qi, Luo Chen continuously formed intricate hand seals.
He performed various medical techniques one after another.
At the end, Luo Chen gritted his teeth and directly used his Achievement Points to learn the Dragon Slaying Technique, a secret method he had obtained from Jin Buque of the Five Elements Divine Sect.
Dragon Slaying Technique:
Slay the evil dragon within, and achieve an immaculate body.
This technique was of the fourth rank, and Luo Chen had paid a hefty price of 500,000 spirit stones to acquire it.
However, its effects were quite unique.
Not only could it remove foreign spirit energy, but once mastered, it could also eliminate malevolent ghosts, evil spirits, and filthy energies.
After obtaining the technique, Luo Chen had given a copy to Chu Kui and kept one for himself.
He found that this technique had similarities to the Cleansing Technique.
He had originally planned to slowly learn it, but with Wang Yuan's life hanging in the balance, there was no time to waste.
Fortunately!
With the Cleansing Technique as a foundation, Luo Chen only needed to spend twenty Achievement Points to learn the Dragon Slaying Technique, which was within his range.
As he delved into the intricacies of the Dragon Slaying Technique, Luo Chen experienced a profound and mystical sensation.
Then, from within his Golden Core, a stream of pure spirit energy surged forth, following a unique path, relentlessly eradicating the malicious spirit energy within Wang Yuan's body.
Several hours passed.
In the quiet room, a dark aura suddenly emerged on Wang Yuan's face.
He opened his mouth and spat out,
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of black blood fell to the ground, corroding the hard floor and creating bubbles.
Witnessing this, Luo Chen heaved a slight sigh of relief.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
Wang Yuan weakly opened his eyes, revealing a sinister smile with his white teeth.
"I feel...great!"
"Huh?"
"I know how to cultivate the Embrace the Elixir technique."
"Oh..."
For a moment, Luo Chen was at a loss for words.
But now wasn't the time to discuss breakthroughs in cultivation.
"I still have many things to do," he said directly. "Your injuries require rest, and I can't afford to expend more spirit energy on you."
"I understand," Wang Yuan replied.
"Regarding that enemy..." Wang Yuan pointed at his chest, and a malicious aura flickered faintly.
"No worries. I'll handle this after I enter the Furnace Transformation Realm."
"Just keep it in mind, and if you need help, call me."
Luo Chen nodded, leaving behind some healing pills for Wang Yuan before exiting the cave.
As he arrived at the battered and pockmarked Snow Wolf Plateau, Wu Diqi and the others quickly surrounded him.
"How's Wang Yuan?" they asked.
"He's fine. His life is saved," Luo Chen replied, omitting the fact that Wang Yuan had seized the opportunity to advance his cultivation.
There was no need to mention it, and he only informed them of his decision to have Wang Yuan stay on the Snow Wolf Plateau to recuperate.
Naturally, no one objected.
In this battle, Wang Yuan had demonstrated his value by directly confronting a Tier 3 monster beast.
This capability was barely comparable to the strength of a Golden Core cultivator.
Fu Jiu Sheng felt a twinge of guilt. He had been so focused on suppressing the wolf king that he hadn't been able to guard against the sneak attack.
Wang Yuan had fought alongside him, and if he had been killed by the sneak attack, Fu Jiu Sheng would have felt terrible.
However, Wu Diqi didn't share the same sentiment. Eagerly, he asked, "What about us now?"
The moon hung high in the sky, and the white snow mixed with fresh blood emitted a nauseating stench.
At the foot of the mountain, escape lights flickered as they cleaned up the battlefield.
As Luo Chen's gaze swept across, those who caught his eye quickly stopped their work and respectfully saluted him.
Not only the Luo Tian Sect cultivators but also the Cen Family and Fengyu Manor cultivators showed the same deference.
They had witnessed Luo Chen single-handedly withstand the assault of three demon wolves, protecting the lower-level cultivators at the beginning of the battle.
Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Chen pursed his lips and said, "We mustn't delay. With the Snow Wolf Plateau secured, our next target is Dream Return Ridge!"
Upon hearing this, the four of them felt a surge of excitement.
They had already investigated and confirmed that the Snow Wolf Plateau was an exceptional small-scale Tier 3 spirit vein, capable of supporting the cultivation of three Golden Core cultivators.
If they could capture Dream Return Ridge and Iron Green Mountain according to their strategy, their future cultivation would be worry-free.
Luo Chen began issuing orders.
Cen Qiu Sheng led all the allied cultivators to stay and guard the Snow Wolf Plateau.
Fu Jiu Sheng also remained, but his task was to set up formations and manipulate the earth's veins, ready to assist Luo Chen and the others in moving mountains whenever needed.
Wu Diqi and Jiang Yu accompanied Luo Chen, boarding the Crimson Flame Dragon Vessel and heading towards Dream Return Ridge.
They were chosen because they had fought alongside Luo Chen recently, establishing a certain level of tacit understanding.
Moreover, with the alliance pact, there was no concern about betrayal.
The three of them boarded the vessel, and Xu Huanzhen, without hesitation, commanded the Luo Tian Sect cultivators to maneuver the massive flying vessel.
Under the cover of night, the enormous flying vessel slowly turned and headed south.
...
In the quiet room, Luo Chen examined his condition.
After the intense battle and healing Wang Yuan, his spirit energy remained at around sixty percent.
His magical artifacts, the Mystic Flame Sword and Soul-breaking Tridents, were undamaged.
Only the Tianyue Purple Golden Wheel had sustained some damage during the torturous slaughter of the snow wolf king, and it was contaminated by the filthy power of Jiang Yu's Rain-summoning Pennant, impairing its spirituality.
However, Jiang Yu was considerate enough to send over an antidote.
Luo Chen was now pouring a specially made detoxifying spirit liquid onto the Tianyue Purple Golden Wheel.
The artifact's spirituality gradually began to recover.
That was the drawback of a set of magical artifacts; they were powerful but challenging to control and easily damaged.
"When I have time, I should ask the Tianfan City cultivators to make some minor repairs."
Luo Chen put away the Tianyue Purple Golden Wheel, and two high-grade spirit stones appeared in his hand.
He activated his innate cultivation technique, seizing the opportunity to absorb celestial qi and convert it into spirit energy.
Time passed slowly...
As dawn broke, Wu Diqi's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Fellow Daoist, we've arrived at Dream Return Ridge!"
Luo Chen opened his eyes, and a flash of serene brilliance vanished from his gaze.
His entire body transformed into a gust of clear wind, and he gracefully flew out of the quiet room.
