Chapter 174 Annihilation of the Nascent Soul Cultivators on Dengxing Island! The Reverse Star Allian
Three hundred miles away from Dengxing Island, above the sea.
An elderly man with blond hair stood suspended in mid-air, his hands behind his back gazing at the sky.
He was about sixty years old, with a sinister face, and wore a long golden robe embroidered with several golden throwing knives that gleamed in the sunlight.
His aura was profound, clearly indicating that he was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
It was none other than the leader of the Golden Knife Sect—Golden Knife Master.
He saw Lin Chuan's escape light, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he flashed forward to block the way.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
Lin Chuan stopped his escape light and looked at him calmly.
"Who are you? What brings you here?"
The Golden Knife Master sized him up, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.
"I am the Golden Saber Master, the sect leader of the Golden Saber Sect on Dengxing Island. I have heard that you have been buying up demon cores in various markets recently, spending lavishly, so you must be quite wealthy."
He paused, his smile gradually turning cold.
"I'm a bit short on funds lately and would like to borrow some spirit stones from you. Hand over your storage bag, and I'll let you go. How about it?"
Lin Chuan looked at him and suddenly smiled.
"You're going to kidnap me?"
"Don't say things so harshly."
The Golden Knife Master's smile remained unchanged. "I am merely borrowing."
"Then I'd like to borrow something from you too."
"What?"
"Your life."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chuan made his move!
Thirty-six Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords shot out from the storage bag, transforming into a sky full of golden sword light!
The Golden Knife Master was greatly alarmed. With a wave of his hands, nine golden flying knives flew out from his sleeves, transforming into nine golden rays of light to meet the sky full of sword shadows!
"Jingle bells—"
The sound of metal clashing was as dense as rain!
Nine throwing knives and thirty-six flying swords clashed fiercely in the air, sparks flying everywhere! But the Golden Knife Master soon discovered that his throwing knives were like paper in front of the opponent's flying swords—within just a few breaths, some of the throwing knives were cracked!
"What kind of flying sword is that?!"
The Golden Knife Master's expression changed drastically. His nine golden knives were forged from Xuanjin Iron and infused with Geng Essence, making them incredibly sharp! How could they be so easily damaged by the opponent's flying sword?
Unbeknownst to him, Lin Chuan's Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword also contained Geng Essence, and in four times the amount of it!
Lin Chuan formed hand seals, and the sword light changed—
Sword Shadow Splitting Light Technique!
Thirty-six flying swords, each of which transformed into several sword lights, instantly creating a sky full of sword shadows that poured down like a torrential rain!
The Golden Knife Master's face turned deathly pale as he desperately urged his nine golden knives to defend, but the sword lights were simply too numerous, too fast, and too dense!
"Pfft!"
A sword light broke through the defense line and struck the man with the golden knife on the shoulder, causing blood to splatter!
"ah--!"
The Golden Knife Master screamed in agony, his protective spiritual light surging wildly in an attempt to block the subsequent sword light. But once the Great Geng Sword Formation was set up, it was like a net from heaven and earth; how could he possibly escape?
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—"
Countless sword lights slashed at him, and his protective aura shattered instantly!
His body was chopped into several pieces!
A golden nascent soul burst forth from the tattered body, its face filled with terror, trying to escape!
Lin Chuan raised his hand and waved – Azure Ice Flame!
The blue flames instantly enveloped the nascent soul, transforming it into a ball of blue ice crystals that fell into Lin Chuan's hand.
From the moment the attack was made to the moment the enemy was killed, it took no more than ten breaths!
……
However, at the very moment the Golden Knife Master was about to die—
Two streaks of light shot towards us from the distant horizon!
One after the other, their speed was astonishing!
Lin Chuan scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately recognized the person who had arrived.
Two Nascent Soul cultivators, one in front of the other, were rushing towards this place.
The person in front had a deep aura and was surrounded by a faint ghostly aura. He was a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator from the Ghostly Vengeance Sect of the Demonic Path.
He was emaciated and pale, but his eyes were a ghostly green, making him look sinister and terrifying.
The person behind him was an elderly man who appeared to be a rogue cultivator. He had a thin face, wore a gray Daoist robe, and was also in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He held a whisk in his hand, and his expression was solemn.
Two Nascent Soul cultivators stationed on Dengxing Island!
They sensed the battle commotion here and rushed over to investigate.
"Who dares to commit violence near Star Island?!"
The demonic cultivator from the Ghostly Vengeance Sect shouted angrily, his gaze sweeping over the fragments of the Golden Knife Master's corpse floating on the sea, his expression changing drastically.
"The Golden Knife Master... is dead?!"
He exchanged a glance with the rogue cultivator, both their eyes flashing with shock. Although the Golden Saber Master was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, his combat strength was not weak. How could he have been killed in such a short time?
The rogue cultivator's gaze fell on Lin Chuan, and his pupils contracted slightly as he sensed the aura around him.
"Did you do this?"
Lin Chuan did not answer, but simply looked at them calmly.
The demonic cultivator from the Ghost Vengeance Sect had a grim expression. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill my people from the Reverse Star Alliance!"
"Trying to leave? Leave your life behind!"
He rubbed his hands together, and a cloud of pitch-black ghostly mist surged out from his body, transforming into countless hideous ghost faces that pounced towards Lin Chuan!
The rogue cultivator also made his move at the same time, waving his whisk and sending thousands of silver threads transforming into countless sharp blades that attacked from the other side!
Two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces to launch a pincer attack!
Lin Chuan snorted coldly and advanced instead of retreating.
The thirty-six Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords flashed, their light shifting to meet the rogue cultivator's silver whisk. He himself simply raised his hand and waved—
A golden net of lightning shot out from the flying sword!
Evil-repelling divine thunder!
The flying sword, forged from the ancient golden thunder bamboo, is naturally imbued with divine thunder to ward off evil spirits!
The ghostly mist of the demonic cultivators from the Ghost Vengeance Sect melted instantly before the golden lightning net, like ice and snow meeting fire!
The ghostly mist of the demonic cultivators from the Ghost Vengeance Sect melted instantly before the golden lightning net, like ice and snow meeting fire!
"What?!"
The demonic cultivator's expression changed drastically. This ghostly mist was his innate divine ability, which he had cultivated for hundreds of years. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would not even dare to touch it. How could it be so easily dissolved by this golden lightning?
He didn't know that the Evil-Repelling Thunder was the nemesis of his sinister and evil techniques!
The golden lightning net instantly enveloped him!
"ah--!"
The demonic cultivator let out a shrill scream, his entire body convulsing wildly amidst the lightning! His protective aura shattered instantly, and his flesh rapidly charred and crumbled under the scorching heat of the lightning and fire!
In less than two breaths, he turned into a charred mess and fell from the sky!
A phantom nascent soul burst out from the charred remains, but before it could escape, it was caught up by the Azure Ice Flame and turned into ice crystals!
The rogue cultivator was terrified when he saw this scene!
Two Nascent Soul cultivators, one dead and the other escaped in a single encounter?
No, those demonic cultivators from the Ghost Vengeance Sect couldn't even escape!
Without a second thought, he turned and ran!
However, would Lin Chuan let him escape?
Within the Divine Court's sea of consciousness, forty sharp spikes of divine consciousness shot out silently!
The Divine Sword of Awakening Insects!
Although less than half of the spikes were used, how could that rogue cultivator, who was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, possibly withstand it?
"puff--!"
Forty sharp spikes of divine sense pierced his brow!
The rogue cultivator's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes rolled back, and the protective spiritual light around his body instantly dissipated!
His nascent soul was directly destroyed by the sharp spikes of divine sense within his sea of consciousness!
The body fell silently from the sky.
……
Three bodies float on the sea.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators died within a few dozen breaths, from the moment they attacked.
Lin Chuan sheathed his flying sword, his expression calm.
In this chaotic star sea, only Wan Sangu and Liudao Jisheng, two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, pose a threat to him. Everyone else is nothing to fear.
He raised his hand and put the three people's storage bags into his sleeve, then burned the three corpses to ashes.
Then, it transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.
……
three days later.
Ascend Star Island, Treasure Pavilion.
Three streaks of light descended from the sky and stopped in front of the Treasure Pavilion.
The leader, with a refined and scholarly appearance and a deep, ocean-like aura, was none other than Wan Tianming, the sect master of the Wanfa Sect, a powerful expert at the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The two people behind him were also at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and their expressions were solemn.
"The three of them, including the Golden Knife Master, are all dead."
Wan Tianming said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the empty Treasure Pavilion.
"Did the Star Palace send several Nascent Soul cultivators to attack Dengxing Island?" someone behind him questioned.
"With the island's protective formation in place, even if the Star Palace sends out six or seven Nascent Soul cultivators, they will find it difficult to break through."
Wan Tianming shook his head. "The key point is that none of the three of them were on the island; they were killed hundreds of miles away from the island."
He entered the Treasure Pavilion, found the shopkeeper, and inquired about the Golden Knife Master's movements before his death.
The shopkeeper nervously recounted in detail how "Lin Tian" had come to buy demon cores.
"That person is only in the mid-stage of Core Formation... How is that possible?" The shopkeeper said in disbelief.
"Hmph, how could someone in the mid-stage of Core Formation have such a grand scheme? They're clearly hiding their cultivation level; those guys with the Golden Blade just couldn't see it."
Wan Tianming sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Regardless of right or wrong... Jin Dao and the others were all members of our Reverse Star Alliance. They were killed, and the murderers must pay the price. We cannot let our members lose heart."
He turned around and gave the order in a deep voice:
"Pass down the order to apprehend that mysterious cultivator who is buying up demon cores everywhere. A reward of 100,000 spirit stones will be given to anyone who provides clues. A reward of one million spirit stones and three ancient treasures will be given to anyone who can take his head."
"yes!"
……
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan had already left Dengxing Island and appeared on another island hundreds of thousands of miles away.
He stood by the window of a small inn, his gaze fixed on a mark on the map.
Wanfa Island.
The headquarters of the Righteous Path of All Dharmas.
There should be more demon cores and pill formulas there.
