Chapter 309 The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine: Successive Falls
A moment later, above a desolate mountain.
Zhou Lingyan stood in mid-air, coldly looking back at the source of the sound, her dress swaying in the wind, making a fluttering sound.
Amidst the howling wind, a streak of green light pierced the sky, rapidly approaching.
Li Ping had already clearly seen the person in the escape light with his divine sense. It was a fat young man wearing a green robe, his eyes were squeezed into slits, the flesh on his chin was piled up in three folds, and he had a smug smile on his face.
According to the information Zhou Lingyan obtained through soul searching, this person's name is Shao Guang, and he is at the early stage of Core Formation. He is an elder of the Hehuan Sect in charge of logistics. The batch of spiritual herbs that Zhou Lingyan obtained from Donghua Mountain for Li Ping to refine pills were taken from this person.
Li Ping suspects that his sudden pursuit might be related to that batch of spiritual herbs.
After all, as the old saying goes: "Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents!"
Whoosh!
The obese young man stopped ten feet away from Li Ping, his narrow eyes scrutinizing him with ill intent. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "Junior Sister Zhou, you've kept your senior brother waiting for quite a while!"
Li Ping was not afraid to fight a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation, but he was not the kind of battle maniac who enjoyed fighting. He had no interest in fighting Shao Guang unless there was something in it for him.
Moreover, he excels at persuading people with reason.
Therefore, in response to Shao Guang's provocation, he simply said, "I have urgent business to attend to. Please leave and don't bother me any further."
"Leave?" Shao Guang narrowed his eyes, causing his eyes, which were originally just slits, to almost completely close together. "As for the matter of alchemy, Junior Sister Zhou, shouldn't you give your senior brother an explanation? You've crossed the line."
"Why!"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to give up, Li Ping sighed slightly.
Seeing his sigh, Shao Guang assumed that his junior sister Zhou was helpless.
He couldn't help but feel smug: "Now that you know you regret it, hand over the elixir you embezzled, and I might consider letting you go."
Li Ping looked at him and shook his head: "Why would you want to die?"
"What?" Shao Guang raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.
But since he had already decided to take action to capture him, Li Ping naturally couldn't afford to waste any more words with him.
From the desolate mountains below, a beam of light several meters long suddenly shot up, streaking across the sky and slashing fiercely at Shao Guang. Shao Guang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly made a hand seal, spitting out a green bead to meet the beam of light.
A blinding green light instantly enveloped half the sky.
When the Devouring Yuan Sword was illuminated by the green light, its speed immediately decreased significantly.
In that instant, Shao Guang recognized the magical artifact: "The Devouring Yuan Sword, you are Yan Liming!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the Xuan Yi puppet that flew out from the desolate mountain below. However, Xuan Yi's face was covered by a cloak, and Shao Guang did not recognize it as a puppet at all.
After his initial shock, he quickly realized that Yan Liming had been dead for many years and couldn't possibly be here. The person in front of him must have been lucky enough to obtain Yan Liming's natal magic weapon.
However, even if this person is not Yan Liming, he is still a Core Formation cultivator. In a two-on-one situation, he will not come out on top.
Thinking of this, Shao Guang already had the idea of retreating.
But Li Ping couldn't let him leave just like that. He hid Xuan Yi below in advance, with the intention of fighting directly if they couldn't reach an agreement, and quickly eliminating Shao Guang.
Now that they've already made their move, Shao Guang can forget about leaving.
Standing in the void, the alluring female cultivator suddenly rubbed her hands together, and a golden light flew out from her hands, growing larger in the wind and transforming into a three-foot-long golden guillotine.
It is none other than my natal magic weapon, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine!
Upon seeing this, Shao Guang was terrified: "Stop! Junior Sister Zhou, I spoke without thinking!"
Although he had never seen the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, the fact that it could make his junior sister Zhou give up her natal magic weapon to wield this treasure was enough to demonstrate its immense power.
He was already at a slight disadvantage in his fight with Xuan Yi, and now that Junior Sister Zhou was also planning to make a move, how could he not be terrified?
However, Li Ping wouldn't listen to what he had to say anymore. With a slight wave of his hand, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine instantly shone with golden light, and a golden line flashed through the air amidst the brilliant golden light.
The next moment, the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine appeared above Shao Guang's head like a door panel, and then, with a flash of light, it slashed down like an executioner's block!
The light emitted by the emerald green pearl could slow down the speed of the Devouring Yuan Sword, but it was as if the Dragon Slayer Guillotine did not exist and could not affect its speed in the slightest!
Fear flashed across Shao Guang's face. He could no longer deal with the Devouring Yuan Sword. The emerald pearl spun around to his side and headed towards the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine.
Seemingly feeling that this wasn't safe enough, he took out a silver talisman from his storage bag, tore it open, and a layer of silver protective shield immediately enveloped him.
After doing all this, he hurriedly looked at the cold-faced female cultivator in the distance: "Senior Sister Zhou, I know I was wrong, and I'm willing to apologize to you!"
But it was no use. Even if he called him "Grandpa," Li Ping would not let him go.
"cut!"
Li Ping gave a low shout.
A large expanse of golden light cascaded down like a waterfall, striking the emerald green pearl.
"Boom!"
The radiant pearl hovered above Shao Guang's head, finally bringing the golden light to a halt.
But before Shao Guang could even breathe a sigh of relief—
With a "bang," the pearl was shattered into pieces by the golden light. His natal magic weapon was destroyed, and Shao Guang's face turned pale. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked up, a look of despair flashing in his eyes. His natal magic weapon was his strongest weapon, but now even his natal magic weapon could not stop this strange guillotine. What other way did he have?
With a crisp sound, the silver light shield was torn apart as if it were made of paper.
"Ahhh~"
Shao Guang roared, and dozens of magical artifacts and talismans flew out from his body to block the golden light. But all he heard was a series of bead-like sounds as these items were crushed to dust in the golden light.
With his aura firmly locked on and Xuan Yi watching him intently from the side, Shao Guang couldn't even escape.
He only saw a flash of golden light before him, and then he was falling from the sky.
When the view cleared again, all that could be seen was a cascade of blood flying through the air and a stiff, headless corpse.
"That is—"
Shao Guang felt that the headless corpse looked somewhat familiar, but the next moment, he lost all consciousness and fell into darkness.
Using the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, a Core Formation cultivator was killed in a very short time, along with his magical artifact.
Li Ping nodded in satisfaction: "The power of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine is quite impressive!"
Whoosh!
A golden light streaked across the sky, flew into his sleeve, and disappeared.
At the same time, Xuan Yi flew to the side of the headless corpse, took the storage bag from its waist, and then spat out two wisps of fire from his mouth, which landed on Shao Guang's body and head respectively, cremate him.
As for the traces of the battle, he couldn't be bothered with them.
"This place is only a few hundred miles from the Hehuan Sect's mountain gate. Once they realize that Shao Guang's life tablet is broken, the Hehuan Sect's late-stage Core Formation Grand Elder will definitely come out to investigate. We shouldn't stay here any longer!"
Thinking of this, Li Ping didn't bother to check Shao Guang's storage bag and waved his hand to put Xuan Yi into his storage bag.
With one hand forming a hand seal and the other hand chanting incantations, two enormous blood wings grew from his ribs.
brush!
Amidst the spreading blood mist, a streak of blood flashed through the void and vanished in the blink of an eye.
In order to leave this place as soon as possible, and to be on the safe side, Li Ping directly used the Bloodwing Escape Technique, even at the cost of his own life force.
Just moments before, when Li Ping used the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine to kill Shao Guang.
In a secret hall of the Hehuan Sect.
Two young male and female cultivators were practicing in the unique way of the Hehuan Sect, and the hall was filled with a decadent atmosphere.
"Senior brother, aren't we bound to do something so wicked in the hall where we enshrine the life tablets of our ancestors? Won't we bring about our own downfall?" The female cultivator seemed to find the behavior of both sides somewhat inappropriate.
However, the male cultivator grinned wickedly: "You're spouting rhymes all the time. Do you want to join the righteous path? Fine!"
How dare you harbor such thoughts! Your senior brother must punish you severely today! ————
In the eyes of male cultivators, their grandmasters were all experts at the Core Formation stage, and who in the world could possibly do anything to them?
Guarding their life tablets was essentially a sinecure.
Since the end of the last great battle, the life tablets in this hall have never had any problems.
Instead of foolishly staring at your fortune cards all the time, you might as well do something more interesting.
He was trying to punish his junior sister who wanted to betray the sect when she suddenly slapped his back hard: "Ugh—"
"Senior brother, I heard a sound—hmm—"
"Fine! You traitor, you still dare to talk back and argue? Let's see how I deal with you—" The female cultivator struggled, which only made the male cultivator more excited.
The female cultivator cried out anxiously, "Senior brother, I really heard a sound!"
The male cultivator then came to his senses and looked at the eight life tablets in the center of the hall with some doubt. After seeing them clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he felt a shiver run down his spine.
Because the life tablet near the edge—now only fragments remain.
"That's Master Shao's life tablet! Master Shao has fallen! I must report to the sect leader." The male cultivator, disregarding his still-wet clothes, quickly put on his robe and ran out of the hall.
He didn't want to personally experience the sect's methods of punishing disciples who made mistakes.
He couldn't even care about his junior sister who was still lying on the ground; all he could think about was not letting the sect leader find out that he had neglected his duties.
Just as he was about to leave the secret hall, his junior sister's voice came from behind him: "Senior brother!"
He turned around and saw his junior sister pointing in horror at the seven remaining life tablets in the center of the hall, which represented the seven Core Formation Ancestors still alive in the sect.
"What's wrong?"
With doubts in his heart, he looked in the direction his junior sister was pointing and saw that not far from the shattered Master Shao's life tablet, another life tablet that was originally full of spirituality had become dull and lusterless, and was breaking apart inch by inch from top to bottom.
The male cultivator was responsible for guarding the ancestral master's life tablets at all times, and he knew exactly who owned each life tablet.
Seeing this, he almost held his breath: "Master Zhou, this is Master Zhou's life tablet; she has also perished!"
At this moment, the male cultivator felt a little dizzy.
Core Formation cultivators are the pillars of the Joyful Union Sect, and each one is a highly respected figure within the sect.
In a short period of time, with the deaths of both Master Shao and Master Zhou, he could already foresee the huge upheaval that would engulf the sect.
"What's going on?"
