Chapter 132 Yuan Yao: Just out of the wolf's den, into the tiger's lair!
Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.
Visibility was extremely poor in the fog.
Visibility was less than three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
Although Lin Chuan's divine sense was severely restricted here, he could still explore a range of several miles, far exceeding that of ordinary Core Formation cultivators.
Ordinary Core Formation cultivators can only extend their spiritual senses a few dozen feet in this place.
He moved forward steadily, killing those low-level ghosts who didn't know their place.
One hour later.
A powerful ghost appeared ahead, its aura comparable to that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
The ghostly creature resembled a cloud of black mist, within which a distorted human face could be vaguely seen, its gaping maw gaping wide as it lunged at Lin Chuan.
"court death!"
With a thought, ten Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords flew out from Lin Chuan's dantian and hovered in front of him.
These flying swords are light blue in color, with lightning patterns flowing across their blades.
It is made from ten-thousand-year-old golden thunder bamboo, and is imbued with the attribute of warding off evil spirits and divine thunder, which is especially effective against evil spirits and ghosts!
"go!"
The ten flying swords transformed into ten streaks of azure sword light, hurtling towards the ghostly creature!
Wherever the sword light passed, the ghostly mist dissolved.
The ghost let out a shrill scream and tried to escape, but was caught up by the blue sword light. One sword, two swords, three swords... in the blink of an eye, it was cut into countless pieces and completely disappeared.
Lin Chuan retrieved his flying sword and continued on his way.
……
Another hour has passed.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan's divine sense detected something unusual ahead—there was the sound of fighting!
He immediately used the Concealing Spirit Technique, combined with the Concealing Spirit Cloak, to conceal his aura to the extreme, and quietly crept towards that direction.
After passing through a thick fog, the view ahead gradually became clear.
In the distance, there was a dark cloud about fifty or sixty feet in diameter. It was huge and churning. From time to time, there were booming sounds and sparks of lightning coming from the cloud, which looked extremely eerie!
A series of lightning bolts were attacking a pale blue ball of light.
The ball of light swayed precariously, flickering uncertainly, with figures moving within it, seemingly struggling to hold on.
Lin Chuan coldly watched all of this.
With his divine sense, comparable to that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he was able to penetrate into the dark clouds and see the specific situation inside.
It was a battle of magic between the two.
One of them, dressed in a red robe, had a sinister face and a powerful aura—a peak Core Formation cultivator!
The other person was dressed in black and wore a black mask, making it impossible to see their face or tell if they were male or female. Their cultivation level was only at the early stage of Core Formation.
At this moment, the man in red robes was manipulating the lightning in the dark clouds, transforming it into giant lightning pythons that frantically bombarded the blue shield of the man in black.
The black-clad man's protective shield was already teetering on the brink of collapse and it looked like it wouldn't hold for much longer.
Just then, the man in black suddenly raised his hand, and an inconspicuous emerald green bullet flew out!
The bullet struck a giant lightning python, and with a "whoosh," it transformed into a fist-sized, deep green spark that burst into flames. The portion of the lightning python engulfed in the fire instantly dissipated!
The green flames even burned away a large portion of the dark clouds!
"Azure Fire Thunder?"
The man in red robes' expression changed, and he shouted sharply, "Are you from the Qingyang Sect?"
The man in black did not respond, but took advantage of the gaps in the burning clouds to desperately escape.
"Won't talk? Hmph, it seems your Azure Fire Thunder technique isn't exactly cleanly acquired!" The red-robed man sneered. "Killing you will be revenge for that Three Yang Old Demon's disciple!"
"I am indeed a disciple of the Qingyang Sect!" the man in black finally spoke, his voice low and deep, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice.
"Heh, if you really were that kind of person, you should have spoken up and shown your strength long ago. Why wait until now?"
The man in red robes let out a sinister laugh. "So what if you are? Who knows I killed you? The Soul-Crying Beast on your body should rightfully belong to me!"
After saying that, he once again urged the dark clouds to condense even more violent lightning, which he then blasted towards the man in black!
……
Lin Chuan, on the other hand, had already guessed the identity of the man in black when he made his move.
Azure Fire Thunder.
The Soul-Crying Beast.
These two characteristics point to only one person—Yuan Yao.
In the original story, Yuan Yao joined forces with Yan Li to kill the young master of Qingyang Sect, seize his storage bag, and obtain the Azure Fire Thunder and the Crying Soul Beast.
Later, in order to obtain the Soul-Nourishing Wood to revive her senior sister Yanli's remnant soul, she traveled to the Void Heaven Palace.
"The Soul-Crying Beast..."
Lin Chuan's heart stirred slightly.
This is a good thing.
The Soul-Crying Beast feeds on souls and is especially effective against yin spirits and ghosts; it has immense potential.
If properly nurtured, they will undoubtedly be a great asset in the future.
"It seems today is an auspicious day."
A slight smile appeared on Lin Chuan's lips.
……
Just then, the man in red robes seemed unwilling to waste any more time talking nonsense. He fully activated the dark clouds, condensing them into a huge lightning python. It opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the man in black!
"Go to hell!"
Despair flashed in the man's eyes.
At this critical moment—
Lin Chuan made a move.
Within the Divine Court's sea of consciousness, nine sharp spikes of divine consciousness shot out silently!
The Seventh Level of the Awakening Insect Divine Sword, with the power of sixty-three thrusts, he only used nine thrusts.
But it's enough to deal with a peak Core Formation cultivator.
"Ugh—!!!"
The man in the red robe suddenly screamed in agony, clutching his head with both hands, and the giant lightning python he had condensed instantly dissipated!
His body staggered, his protective aura fluctuated violently, and he was momentarily frozen!
At that very moment—
A streak of cyan-gold sword light pierced through the air!
"Pfft!"
With a flash of sword light, the red-robed man's head flew high into the air, blood gushing out!
His body swayed and fell from the sky.
"What?!"
The man in black stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.
That powerful Core Formation Peak expert who was so imposing and dominating her just now... is dead?
He died inexplicably, without any warning!
She instinctively let out a gasp; the voice was no longer a disguised male voice, but a clear and melodious female voice.
……
Lin Chuan sheathed his Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword and slowly walked out of the mist.
His expression remained calm, his gaze fixed on the man in black.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"
The woman in black—Yuan Yao—quickly regained her senses and bowed to Lin Chuan.
But her eyes were filled with deep apprehension.
That scene just now was too bizarre.
The red-robed man, who was at the peak of the Core Formation stage, suddenly lost the ability to resist and was then killed by a single sword strike.
The cultivator at the peak of Core Formation in front of us is definitely not simple!
Perhaps it's a Nascent Soul cultivator hiding his true cultivation level!
Warning bells rang in Yuan Yao's mind, and she involuntarily took a slight step back.
"You're welcome."
Lin Chuan spoke calmly, his tone even, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"Hand over the Soul-Crying Beast you possess, and you may leave."
Yuan Yao's body trembled, and her face instantly turned pale.
The Soul-Crying Beast!
Her greatest reliance in passing through the land of ghosts and vengeance.
Without the help of the weeping spirit, her chances of even passing this first hurdle are slim.
Who is he? How does he know that the Soul-Crying Beast is on her?
Yuan Yao's mind raced.
Looking into Lin Chuan's calm and composed eyes, a deep sense of despair welled up in her heart.
This is like escaping one wolf's den only to fall into another!
