Xiao Lingyu retreated more than ten meters before stopping. His body smashed into the ground and he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood along the way.
He had just advanced to the Golden Core Stage and his strength was enough to deal with Golden Core Stage cultivators. However, he was still not a match for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. If not for the fact that the quality of the chaotic energy was higher, the opponent's palm strike would have taken his life.
Xiao Lingyu actually did not suffer too much damage. However, because the strength of the opponent's palm strike was too strong and he was not prepared, his blood and Qi were shaken and he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
He circulated his energy and suppressed his surging blood and Qi. Then, he stood up straight and looked fearlessly at the cultivator who was slowly walking towards him. At the same time, there was a contemptuous smile on his face.
"If you can end your own life, perhaps you can die a more comfortable death."
That person stopped seven or eight meters away and said with a relaxed expression.
"If you leave now, perhaps I can forget about your palm strike just now."
Xiao Lingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied in the same tone.
"Stubborn!"
As that person spoke, his feet suddenly stomped on the ground. With the aura of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he pressed down on Xiao Lingyu.
The opponent's speed was much faster than Xiao Lingyu's. Xiao Lingyu did not cultivate any special movement techniques, so he did not dodge. With a thought, the golden shield talisman treasure expanded and shone with a golden light, blocking in front of him.
That person's palm strike landed on the golden shield talisman treasure, but he was rebounded back a few steps.
"So you have such a talisman treasure to protect you. No wonder you dare to speak so arrogantly! However, the difference in cultivation level is not something that can be made up for with one or two treasures! "
As that person spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a ray of light.
The ray of light expanded in the wind and turned into a flying sword that overflowed with flames.
"Go!"
That person lightly shouted and the flying sword flew forward. Just as it was about to come into contact with the golden shield, it suddenly changed direction. With a flash, it actually pierced towards Xiao Lingyu from the side.
Xiao Lingyu wanted to move the golden shield talisman treasure to block it, but it was already too late. The speed at which a Nascent Soul cultivator changed moves was many times faster than Wang Zhicheng and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators. Xiao Lingyu, who was only at the Golden Core stage, simply couldn't react in time.
However, Xiao Lingyu held a long sword and slashed at the flying sword.
Xiao Lingyu's long sword cracked into several pieces as soon as it met the flying sword. The quality of the sword was not high, and a long sword that had not been refined could not withstand a single blow from the flying sword.
The web between Xiao Lingyu's thumb and index finger was also split open. Her palm was dripping with blood, and she staggered a few steps to the side.
The golden shield talisman treasure followed closely behind Xiao Lingyu. When the flying sword attacked again, it was firmly blocked by it.
However, the attack of the flying sword caused the golden shield talisman treasure to pause for a moment. Then, another ray of light was spat out from that person's mouth and turned into a metal seal that smashed towards Xiao Lingyu.
At the same time, that person continuously formed seals with his hands. When the metal seal whistled out, he shouted loudly. A fire dragon that was released from the seal brought with it scorching heat and berserk power. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it meandered through the air.
This was a set of combined attacks. Flying sword, metal seal, and fire dragon. Relying on this set of attacks that he had practiced countless times, he had defeated many Nascent Soul cultivators. He was confident that he could easily kill a slightly special Golden Core cultivator.
The flying sword stopped the golden shield talisman treasure, and the powerful and heavy metal seal directly smashed the golden shield talisman treasure to the side. The fire dragon that had been waiting in the air for a moment swooped down from the sky.
Not to mention how strong the impact of the fire dragon was, just the scorching heat that it brought with it was enough to burn Xiao Lingyu's body into charcoal.
Seeing that the fire dragon had already swooped down on Xiao Lingyu's head, that cultivator's sinister smile deepened. In his heart, he silently said, "Go to hell!" This kind of seal attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator was difficult to block even for another Nascent Soul cultivator. A mere Golden Core cultivator, without the protection of a magic treasure, would not be able to escape death.
Xiao Lingyu used all his strength to summon the chaotic energy to form a defensive shield to protect his body. At the same time, he clenched one hand into a fist and summoned all the energy in his body to fiercely punch upwards.
Just as his fist was about to collide with the fire dragon, a wave of gray chaotic energy gushed out and met the fire dragon.
The formation of the fire dragon was actually the condensation of that cultivator's fire-type spiritual energy. The quality of spiritual energy was not as good as the chaotic energy, so when it was hit by such an impact, the fire dragon's head directly collapsed into a sky full of flames.
However, the spells of a Nascent Soul cultivator were indeed very powerful. After the fire dragon's head was destroyed, it swung its divine dragon tail towards Xiao Lingyu. Waves of scorching flames rushed towards Xiao Lingyu and broke through Xiao Lingyu's chaotic defensive shield. The raging flames swept across Xiao Lingyu's body.
A piercing pain came from all over his body. Xiao Lingyu felt as if his entire body was soaked in boiling water. His brain was buzzing, making him feel dizzy.
Bang!
In the end, Xiao Lingyu's body could not hold on and directly fell to the ground.
Seeing his opponent fall to the ground, his entire body charred and emitting black smoke, the cultivator revealed a proud smile. It had been a long time since he defeated an enemy like this. He really missed this feeling of excitement and accomplishment. Although his opponent was only in the Golden Core stage, his indifferent expression made him feel a sense of satisfaction because he felt that his opponent must be regretting offending him.
To be cautious, the cultivator did not directly approach him. Instead, he prepared to use his metal seal to smash his opponent into a pile of mush. However, he saw the storage belt at his opponent's waist. He was afraid that the metal seal would destroy the storage belt and waste the treasures in the belt. Therefore, he carried his flying sword and approached him.
The metal seal was still hanging above Xiao Lingyu's head. As long as he made the slightest move, the metal seal would fall at any time and smash him into a meat patty.
The cultivator was indeed a cautious person. He had a lot of combat experience and knew that when fighting with cultivators, the slightest mistake could lead to eternal damnation. Therefore, even though Xiao Lingyu had fallen and obviously lost his ability to fight, he still used his spiritual energy to form a circle of flaming protective shield.
However, when he was five meters away from Xiao Lingyu, the twitching Xiao Lingyu who was originally lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and rushed towards him. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of him.
He originally wanted the metal seal to smash down, but the other party was with him. If the metal seal smashed down, it would also hurt him. Therefore, he waved his flying sword and stabbed it.
Although he did not use his spiritual energy to strengthen the flying sword, such a sharp weapon was enough to injure his opponent again.
Xiao Lingyu did not dodge and allowed the flying sword to pierce through his body. Then, he stabbed towards the other party's arm that was holding the sword.
The cultivator did not realize that Xiao Lingyu was holding a silver needle in his hand. The needle easily pierced through the spiritual energy defense on his arm and pierced into his arm.
Instantly, the spiritual energy shield around the cultivator's body collapsed. His spiritual energy also stopped circulating and quickly dissipated.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xiao Lingyu, the cultivator, and the metal seal fell to the ground at the same time.
Enduring the intense pain, Xiao Lingyu took out a bottle of spirit liquid. He first took a small sip and then rubbed it on his body.
The spirit liquid was very effective in healing injuries. In just ten minutes, Xiao Lingyu shed a layer of black skin and his skin returned to normal. It was even smoother than before.
His clothes were gone. First, he jumped into a nearby pond to wash his body. Then, he took out a long robe from his storage belt and put it on. Only then did he walk towards the cultivator.
Everything that happened just now could be said to have been directed by him. The flaming dragon's tail could not burn him to such a miserable state, nor could it make him lose his ability to fight. He just wanted to make the cultivator think that the battle was over and that he was on the verge of death without any ability to resist. When the cultivator came closer, he would launch a sneak attack.
This was something that could not be helped. Even though he knew that the cultivator would be cautious and use the metal seal to smash him again, he had to take the risk. This was because if he fought the cultivator with real swords and spears, there was no chance of him winning.
What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that the cultivator's life force had already been cut off and he was completely dead.
The cultivator was only at the Nascent Soul stage and could not be compared to the snake that had been pierced by the silver needle. The snake had managed to hold on for a period of time, but that did not mean that the cultivator could do the same.
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and heaved a sigh. He kept the silver needle and looked at the cultivator's corpse, muttering to himself for a long time.
At the end of the day, the reason why the cultivator dared to attack him was because he was stronger than him. If he was stronger, he would not dare to attack him even if he scolded or beat him, let alone being a little colder to him.
This once again proved to Xiao Lingyu that in the cultivation world, everything depended on one's strength.
"I can't stay here for long. This guy is a Nascent Soul cultivator and also an inner sect disciple of the Void Inquiry Stage. The news of his death will certainly spread to the Void Inquiry Stage very soon. I reckon it won't be long before they find this place."
While thinking, Xiao Lingyu took action to deal with the Nascent Soul cultivator's corpse and the corpses of Wang Zhicheng and the other two.
Ge Yunfei had already been confined in seclusion. It was estimated that he would not be able to come out for many years. It would be meaningless for him to continue staying in the Void Inquiry Stage.
Xiao Lingyu also did not have much reluctance to leave. However, before he left, he still made a trip to the spiritual liquid pond.
Before he went to Tai Yang City, Xiao Lingyu had obtained quite a lot of jade bottles to store spiritual liquid.
He did not hold back and simply stored all the spiritual liquid in the spiritual liquid pond into the jade bottles. However, just as he was about to leave, he discovered that the stalagmite in the middle of the pond was a little strange.
He once again went to the bottom of the spiritual liquid pond and carefully observed the bottom of the stalagmite.
It turned out that there were some very small words carved at the bottom of the stalagmite. If it was not for the fact that the spiritual liquid in the pond had been emptied and he did not look at it carefully, it would be really difficult to discover the existence of these small words.
Obviously, these small words were carved by someone. This also proved that there were other cultivators who had come here before Xiao Lingyu arrived.
Xiao Lingyu could not help but think of Ge Yunfei. However, he shook his head after a second and recalled Ge Yunfei's martial uncle who had already passed away.
